Van Buren, Shin-plaSters. The absolute
folly and impracticabilily OF The government
plan of an entire metallic currency, is now
sufficiently obvious to any man, having the
possession of his senses. The idea, when
first suggested, did remarkably well as an
elcclloneeTing expedient, but since our ru-
lers have attempted to carry the project into
practical operation, the lalacy OF the meas
urc has become apparent. The govern
plent, have, for the present, abandoned the
man, and have become the fathers Of the
most monstrous SHlN-PLASTER currer-
cy that ever disgraced his country. Ttcetce
millions of dollars are TO be issued upon the
suggestion of our hard money Democratic
President Van Buren, TINS single fac
will forever establish the question, whit
compose the Shin-plaster par'y' and Mar

REVISAL OF THE STATUTES.

REV ioAL VI he . L u ES.
There is not mere impcrious duty de-
volving on the legislature, Than that olpro-
viding Tor n revision OF the statute laws of
this state. In the year 1923, the legislature
directed a compilation of the law 10 be
made. This was furnished the following
year and published with the acts of 1894,
s. now constitutes one large volume of sat-
ues. When this work vas published, it
presented patched appearance, unlike any
volume OF laws ever before seer, and al
though the compiler executed his commits
sion, as directed, that is, piled one statute
upon another; it was a common remark,
that the next publication of the laws would
give them in a revised form, in which the
different acts upon the same subject, should
be embodied, by new enactment, into one
act, and present a more wOrkmanliGe ap-
pearance than the present scattered manner
in which the laws are published. Bul in
this the public have been disappointed, and
another medley has been published, Under
The direction OF the legislature.
or The statutes now in force, as printed
in the compilations, the title, "Judicial
Proceedings embodies seventy-eigM dill
