Judicial.

1t will be seen, by referring to our
brief report Of the doings Of the Legis-
lature, that there is under considera-
ton the change of our Judicial Syss
TEN. By the Old System, that in
use previous to 1919, the judges of
the Supreme Court presided in the
Circuit Courts, and of course, in ap.
peals had voice in deciding upon
their own decisions in the lower courts.
By the system now in use we have
four Circuit Judges, whose functions
extend no farther. At the last SEES,
sion an act.Yas passed abolishing this
and returning to the old system, to
to take effect in November of this year.
The bill now under discussion repeats
the act Of last year, leaving the courts
to remain as they are.
This is, doubtless, the most impor>
tant bill of the session, and it is to be
hoped the settlement, whatever it may
be, will be permanent. Mutability of
legislation is an evil from which we suf-
fer too much. For this reason, if for
no other we could hope the bill might
pass. We are not aware that the pre-,
sent system is chargable with any very
serious defects, and there is moreover,
reason to believe that the act of last
year was passed, less to promote the
general welfare, than for more personal
reasons.

Financial.

In the Financial world, heavy fail
ures continue to be reported, and bank
suspension is nearly universal. A gen
eral distrust prevails every where and
business transactions are very limited.
The Banks, generally, are d scounting
what they are able. Much now de
rends upon the forwarding of produce
from the interior and the extent OF the
reaction in Europe, of which little is
known at present.
We hear on every hand of suspen>
sion or partial suspension of manufac-
tories and consequently Thousands upon
thousands thrown out of employment
In addition to this, the government
is stopping its works wherever it can
be done. If this is an absolute neces.
sity we have nothing to say, but it GER
tainly seems, that the government
should, as far as possible, furnish labor
for the winter.

The Elections.

Authentic returns Of elections in the
western states, aud territories come in
slowly, and with many contradictions.
IL is now pretty certain that in Ohio,
Gov, Chase is elected, by a majority Of
1000 more or less, while the legisla.
ture in both branches is democratic
The elections in Ind lana indicate that
the Republican cause has lost nothing,
since last year. Iowa, at first reported
Democratic, is Republican, by fair ma.
jority, while Minnesota, at first reported
Republican is probably Democratic The
whole power of Government patronage
has bcen too much for it.
The Kansas Election, to which most
interest attaches, turns out as it was easy
to predict. The frauds were extensive
as was expected, and doubtless, designed
to be by the government. The arrang.
ment of the districts was made purposely
to facilitate this, In addition, the sol
diers voted, directly in opposition to the
Organic Act, and at the urgen. request
|, of Gov Walker. But these even did not
suffice to accomplish the object. A diff.

ed in one precinct, whore there could, not
be more than 200 legal voters, and some
1900 names manufactured and appended

necessary it is tho same old story, and
the subject is exhausted.

of the Free State Party seemed possible,
