Happy New Year.


The practice of wishing our friends
and acquaintance good fortune at
the beginning Of new year is one Of
great antiquity: in fact, it is not pos
sible to point out the exact date or
manner of its origin. There was a
time when the year began with the
spring, and it seems most likely that
the waking up of nature from the
sleep of winter, and the prospect of
the flowers and fruits, the vim tage and
harvests Of another season, was so de-
lightful that it was the most natural
thing in the world for men to con-
graduate each other. In accordance
with custom that is now universal,
we wish all our friends happy and
successful year for 1896. The times"
seem better already than they have
been for several years; there is feel
ing Of coming prosperity in the air.:
there is more hope for good results
from hard work: and it mainly now
depends on our courage, our hopeful
ness and our honesty, to make 1896 a
banner year. We should add, also, the
possession and exercise of good judg-
ment, or horse sense" which will
Ger Jainly be shown in at least one way
if you buy your railroad tickets via the
burlington Route. Your home agent
is pretty sure to have them: if not,
write TO W. j. G. Kenyon, Gen. Pass.
Agent, st. Paul, Mimi.

Cady, WHO is missionary to China.
An Investigating committee, APP
pointed toascertain how expenses could
be reduced in the various departments
OF the city government, have recon-
mended changes and cuts in salaries
enough to cripple many departments
and make the city a byword to other
municipalities. As usual, teachers
and tiremen are not earning their
meager salaries, in the opinion Of the
committee. The most prominent
ludu upDu but COUUlilJtt Is Sdiu TO
receive salary of $4,000, as vice
president of a railroad and another
has federal office worth $1,000, and il
is very fitting that they should urge
longer hours and less pay for those
receiving from five to eight hundred
per year. And some of the members,
too, may make political capital out
of their arduouS(?) labors.
The report of the city saperintend-

President Cleveland has sent a
message to Congress calling attention
to the financial situation and urging
the retirement of the greenbacks in
order to stay the outflow of gold
from the treasury. He advocates the
issue of longtime interest bearing
bonds for the purpose of securing the
necessary amount of gold. The gold
reserve has fallen TO about S65, 900, 600.
and the war message of a week ago
has served English holders of our
securities as a pretext for throwing
them on the market and thus further
EN- barrlssing the treasury. Unlike
its democratic predecessor the present
republican congress has set itself to
work in earnest to devise means for
relief. The annual holiday recess has
been sacrificed, and chairman Dingiy
of the WAYS and Means Committee
says bin will be formulated and re-
ported TO the House by the end of the
week. and it will be better measure
than that recommended by Mr..
Cleveland. Republicans will stay the
drain from the treasury by providing
for a sufficient increase in customs
duties to meet the expenditures of
the government. Thisdoes not mean
a general revision of the t--iff. 1t is
on the contrary an emergency bilf'
TO meet present deficits, and will
consist of fairly protective duties on
wool. woolens, lumber and few other
articles, and to be in force until
August 1st, 1898. This will be ac-
companied with further proposition
TO authorize the secretary of the
treasury TO issue treasury certificates
to run not TO exceed five years and
drawing two per cent. interest and
limited TO So, ooo. 900 in amount.

The Wisconsin legislature of 1895
provided for the establishment OF the
Wisconsin Free Library Com mission,
whose duties are to give advice and
counsel Ito all free libraries in the
state, and TO all communities which
may propose 10 establish them, as to
the best means of establishing and
administering such Libraries. the
selection of books. cataloguing and
other details of library management.
The commission may also send its
members to aid in organizing new
libraries or in improving those al
ready established" The commission
includes three ex-Offi clio members and
two who are appointed by the gov
ernOr. The ex-OfficiO members are:
Prest. c. X. Adams of the State Uni
versity, State Supt. j. Q. Emery, and
Secretary II. G. Thaites of the state
Historical Society. The members APP
pointed are Miss L. f. Stearns of the
Milwaukee Public Library and f. A.
Hutchins of BarabOO. The members
Of the commission met in Madison
Dec. and organized by electing f. A.
Hutchins chairman and Miss l.. L.
Stearns secretary.
The commission has prepared a
handbook giving the text of the law
under which free libraries may be es-
tablished in Wisconsin, the general
arguments in behalf of such Libraries,
hints as to the arousing of interest in
them and suggestions TO boards of
trustees and librarians who are build
ing up new libraries. These hand
books will be sent free ON application
TO the secretary.
The following list includes those
towns i'm which free libraries are in

Dam, Fort Atkinson, GAINESVILLE, Be-
lott, Monroe, Mineral Point, Madison,
BelleviIle, Washburn and Wauwatosa.
Oshkosh is about TO establish a library
and other towns are agitating the
subject. There is not only a growing
interest in the founding of free libra
ries but disposition to make those
already established more useful and
more helpful to the public schools.
The commission is not only willing
but anxious to help in both these
lines and will welcome the oppor-
tunity.

One of the most characteristic
features of European prisons as a
whole, says the Chicago Record, is
that prisoners are allowed to have a
portion Of their earnings. This
system prevails in France, Germany,
Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Sweden,
Denmark and other countries. The
amount earned by the prisoner varies
considerably where it depends upon
piece work. In France the average
salary of the prisoner is 80 cents day.
OF this amount, the prisoner is
allowed to spend one-half while in
prison for supplementary food and
clothing, postage, etc, though no
expenditure is made without the
approval of the administration.
Tie other half is reserved until the
time for his discharge. A three
years. prisoner has to his credit on
leayinga an average of $50, a four years
prisoner $40 and a five years prisoner
about 800.

We see it stated that quiet prepare
tions are being made for an exodus of
Wisconsin Swedes to a millionaire
territory now being negotiated for in
Northern Tennessee, with view to
forming Swedish-American colony,
where the customs of the Father
land" as pertaining TO dress, occupa-
ton, language and religion, will be
closely followed as observed on the
Swedish mainland and the Islands of
Gotland and GLAND.
This section of land is chosen be-
cause of its more equalized, though
well defined seasons, the opposite of
the alternating climate extremes of
Sweden; also because e a real or
imaginary resem blance to the broken,
undulating, mountainous and forest
lands of that country.
While the greater exodus that is ex-
pected to occur in March will be from
Waukesha, Walworth and Jefferson
counties, achievements will be added
from nearly every town ana county in
the State. Between 1000 and 1000
Swedes have already united with the
colonists and many Others have the
matter under consideration.
1t is designed to divide this vast
tract of land into counties, bishoprics
and homes, with not more than ten
Swedes in home.
The national, Lutheran religion
will be observed, and the principal
industries, agriculture, mining and
forestry, Systematically carried on.
For a time, at least, after their
arrival the necessities of the colony
will be met from a general fund.
1t is designed to arrange for the
accommodation of Swedish emigrants,
who will be induced to journey direct
~ thither from Castle Garden.
This organized company of Swedes
are noted for their intelligence and
education far above che average,
many of whom are well yersed in
Swedish common laws" and folk
songs"
The history, the present and the
future. of the coloDists are marked
episode, the outgrowth of a homesick
longing for the FatherlaRd' custom:
and a general usage Of the national
colors blue and yellow.
