Velma Clate Campbell died December
q, 1895; aged seven years. sour loss is
her eternal gain, but Oh, my little Vel
ma, how can / give thee up to drain the
bitter cup? But we all know"
The above tribute was commenced by
a fond grandma, but her hand becoming
weary by disease, she laid it aside to
finish some other day, but before oppor-
tunity offered that loving hand lay still
in death, her life work ended, she quit
the walks of life and went to live with
little Velma, all the angels and the re-
deemed in heaven and requested before
she died that / should finish the work
she had commenced.
The loving Savior says, "Suffer little
children to come unto me-" And he has
called you, darling, to live with him and
his angels. But Oh, how we miss thee,
we hear no more the patter of her little
feet and the kind and loving voice; we
miss thee from thy place, we miss the
sunshine of thy face; we miss thee
everywhere. While and father mo her
longed to keep her God has taken her
while her little heart was pure and I'M
stained by sin. 1t was a golden dream
of hope born but to die. Yet lives the
love of Jesus and the memory of little
Nelma ever live in our hearts, and we
feel while her life was so short on earth
she has sown the seed of affection in
many hearts. May it bring forth good
fruit; and altho' we miss her so sadly
here, we will meet again in the land Of
bright spirits and is she not reckoning
papa and mamma to come up higher,
and may they SO live while here they
will meet again CoRDELIA GAUT.

The Wisconsin Legislature convened
in extraordinary session on Tuesday for
the purpose of passing a new legislative
apportionment law. At the regular ses-
sion last year the Legislature adopted
a resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee made ND of men,
bers Of both houses, from both political
parties, to prepare within sixty days
from the PRONUNCIATION Of the new
enumeration, a bill apportioning the
State, and to deposit the same with the
Governor. The resolution made it the
duty of the Governor to submit the bill
to the next session of the Legislature,
whether it should be a regular or an ex-
traordinary session, leaving it entirely
discretionary with hin to call a special
session or not. Believing that the public
interests required a special session. the
Governor called one. In submitting the
apportionment bill prepared by the COM
mittee to the Legislature on Tuesday
the Governor accompanied it with a
short message, in which he said:
In carrying out the direction OF your hon.
orable body, / deem 1t not improper 10 call
your attention to the great Importance or
the work which now devolves upon you:
No duty which a legislative body is called
upon to perform should be freer from a
faint of p-artisanism than redistricting the
State into Senate and Assembly districts,
nor should personal ambition or desire be
allowed TO vary your work from the line
Of strict fairness and constitutional re-
Quirements. The State Constitution clearly
defines the true principle of apportionment,
and If any doubt existed at any time as TO
the proper construction of its provisions
its Interpretation by our Supreme Court is
clear enough to remove that doubt. No
measure which does not comply strictly
with the constitutional requirements should
be allowed to become a law.
1t looks as if Wisconsin, through the
cooperation of the Legislature and Gov-
ernor, Will find a shorter way out of her
apportionment difficulty than this State
ia likely to.

The report comes from Washington
that the endless chain is again being
worked to lake the gold out of the treas
ury which the bond sale has brought to
it. This should occasion no surprise.
Gold is wanted to pay foreign obliga-
lions for merchandise, freightage, inter-
est, etc. 1t is easier to get gold out of
the treasury than from banks. One of
the champions of the Cleveland policy.
1.-The head professor Of economies in a
university, declared some time ince that
the treasury had enough money, but it
is not OF the right kind" meaning that
it has enough silver n silver certifi-
Gates, but not enough ~greenbacks to Va
the demands upci. it. This statement is
only approximately true. A man whose
income is considerably less than his ex-
pend;tures cannot be said to ave money
enough unless he is willing to eat into
his reserve. The government is spend
ing at the rate of s35. 900. 900 a yea in ex-
cess of its income. So long as this is
the case. il cannot be said to have
enough money Of any kind. But while
the treasury authorities do not nave as
much money as they need. Ii is true
that they receive some which it is not
so easy to dispose of. because those
who take demands to the treasury in
sist upon ~greenbacks or gold, and are
thus paid. This is enough to keep up
the endless chain.
The Cleveland people represent them
selves as. positively helpless under these
conditions. None of them being men Of
affairs. this may be true. They have
friends who could give Mr.. Carlisle a
device which would break the chain. If
it's uses were not profitable to them.
If some man Of affairs like John Sher-
man were in Mr.. Carlisle's place he
would find in the large payments which
he makes for expenses of the govern
ment a means to pay out the same kind
of money which he receives. At the
present time $140. 900. 900 are paid out an
nually for pensions. Years ago the
none was sent in advance OF payment
to local banks for that OF late.
however. all the pensioners checks are
payable at the subtreasury in New York.
AS a result. banks all over the country
take the pension checks and send them
TO the banks which are their correspond
ents in New York. These banks take
them in large amounts to the subtreas-
ury and demand greenbacks or treasury
notes. which can be taken to the re-
demption bureau and exchanged for
gold. Probably a large part OF the Sl40,-
0C0, 900 of pension checks is used to keep
the endless chain running.
This is clearly the fault OF Mr.. Car
Isle and those about him. unless they
are in a conspiracy to make the country
believe that all the greenbacks outstand-
ing must be redeemed by an issue OF
! bonds. What Is to hinder the deposit.

The Journal has not the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance with the Hon.
Hannis Taylor. United States minister
to Spain, but if a Madrid cablegram is
true. he must be very much lacking in
diplomatic discretion, if not in common
sense. The dispatch says he has ad-
dressed a curt note to the government
demanding explanations regarding an
address delivered before a geographical
society by Senior Conovas, who command
ed the caravel Santa Maria sent over by
Spain to the Columbian Exposition, CIV
ing his impressions of his visit to the
United States. The inference is that
some of Senior Conovas's impressions
were not altogether 1attering to Amer
lean pride. He may even have said
some rough things about the people of
the United States, but they could not
have been rougher than many speakers
and newspapers in this country have
been saying about Spain. We should
learn to give and take in such matters,
or, at least. if we insist on giving a good
deal we should not object to taking a
little. In his case there was no occa-
sion for the minister's action, for, as
the Spanish Minister Of Marine justly
observed. the address which gave the
offense having been delivered before a
private society was not properly a mat
ter for public or official notice. The
minister seems to have committed a
blunder.
