ture in relation to a repeal of the Common Pleas
Court, and we notice that the newspapers in the
State have begun to respond, and, so far, are OPP
posed to any repeal. Changes in the organization
of courts ought not to be made, unless 1t is evI
dent that such changes would be for the public
interest. The Common Pleas system was incor-
porated in the Revised Statutes of 1859, and has
been gradually growing in public favor. as the in
creased jurisdiction from time to time by the
Legislature fully attests.
In the great States of New York and Ohio
they have Common Pleas Court. In th. late
Constitutional Convention of Illinois provision
WAS made for similar court, showing that she
was keeping up with the progress made by her
sister States
few dollars saved to great State like ours,
is not so important to the people as to have courts
open, by terms inters eniny at short periods, so
that justice. in the language of the Constitu ion,
may be administered speedily and without delay.

The Trust Funds of the state.

We understand that a considerable amount of
the Indebtedness to the sinking and other trust
funds OF the State are about falling due. and that
already much of this Indebtedness has been paid
in Government currency. If greenbacks con
tinue to depreciate in value and they remain a
legal tender in the payment of debts, there is no
doubt but the borrowers of the trust funds will
regard It an object to cancel their Indebtedness
with that kind of currency. And the more it
dimnshes in value the greater the inducement of
the borrowers of these funds to pay their oblga-
tons in legal tender notes This condition of
affairs is well worthy the consideration OF the Leg
isIature, and some remedy, if possible, should be
applied. If these funds should be converted from
mortgage securities upon real estate into treasury
notes their value will be materially lessened
Greenbacks have already fallen over fifty per
cent below the gold standard and of course every
dollar held by the State in that kind of currency
on account of its trust funds is loss thereto
just the amount which those notes depreciate. If
the Sinking Fund Commissioners hold million
of greenbacks the fund is the loser just what it
will cost to convert that currency into gold.
The extension of the mortgages falling due two
or three years, may be measure worthy
consideration We understand that the branches
of the Bank of the State in anticipation of "A
further decline in treasury notes, and apprehend-
ing hat the Supreme Court may decide that
Congress cannot make paper legal tender, have
given notice that they will 10 longer receive
that kind of currency on deposit. unless
the depositor viii agree to receive pay
in kind. II is also stated that the Bank is retir
ing its notes from circulation, and that it is pay
ing for them premium of from one to two per
cent Should not the State manage its funds
with the same sagacity and forethought that
govern the banker or broker2 We do not want
to see this patrimouy-thiS munifcent gift to the
State for the advancement of its educational
interests-frittere away by its being invested in
a currency now not worth halfits face and which
will in all probability still further decline in value
Whatever the Legislature can do to save its
Trrst Funds intact should be done, and if posi-
BILE to enlarge instead Of permitting their value
to diminish, or to be lost entirely through the
agency of depreciating currency.

Death OF senator Shoulders.

THoMAs SHOULDERS, representing the district
composed of the counties of Gibson, Dubois and
Pike in the State Senate. died at his lodgings in
His disease was erysipelas. few days ago he
was in his seat in the Senate in apparent good
health, but now he is numbered with the dead.
He died away from home, away from his family,
and probably without even his wife and children
knowing of his Illness Strangers, comparative
iy, attended him in his sickness, watched over
him in bis expiring moments, and prepared his
remains for their final resting place. THOMAS
SHOULDERS was born in Warren county, Ken
lucky, January 25Lh, 1906. His father emf
grated to this State in 1893 and located in Du
bois county, near the family residence of the de-
ceased Mr. SHOULDERS was raised a farmer,
and his whole life was devoted to agri-
cultural pursuits. His good sense and sterling
integrity ever commended him to the respect and
confidence Of his neighbors. He was Collector
of the Revenue of his county and for five years
filed the Office Of Associate Judge. In 1856 he
was elected Representative in the lower
branch of the Legislature, and in 1860 he was
chosen Safe Senator. Mr.. SHOULDERS ever
affiliated and sympathzed with the principles,
policy and organization OF the Democratic party.
His first vote for President was given to JACKSON
in 1928, and from that time he supported the
Democratic nominees for that high position up to
the Presidential election of 1860. The deceased
had but few of the advantages of early educa
ton. In youth he was pioneer in a new settle
ment and in comparatively wild country, under
going all the privatiOns and battling with all the
dificulties of such life He earned livelihood
and secured competency by the sweat of his
brow Thomas SHOULDERS was sincere. ear
nest and honest man. He was as diligent
and faithful in public life, as he ever was in pri
vate life. He wasa man of good sense, of quick
perceptions, of fixed principles, and conscieh-
housIy devoted to the right-to what he regarded
was the best for his fellow men. individually and
collectively. Most cheerfuIly we pay this humble
tribute to the memory of plain, unassuming,
unpretending mas>syet worthy representative of
a majority of the people whose industry and vr-
tues and integrity have given prosperity progress,
and wealth to the nation, aud proud title to
American citizenship.
We understand that Mr.. SHOULDERS leaves
wife, daughter, and two sons who are now in
the army, to mourn his less. He died, as he had
lived, Christian, in full communion with the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
It will be noticed by the proceedings of the
Legislature yesterday that due respect was paid
to the memory and rtues of u departed colleague

Nice QueSfiOnS.

His ExcelIency is wonderfully troubled about
the bond of the new Agent of State The bond
has large number of names to it, and nice ques-
tons are presenting themselves to the guber-
Material vision.
His ExeeIlency is very clear that the stamp
should be upon the bond before a name was
signed. ! is not so clear as to whether the I'M
tials of all the persons signing should be on the
stamp. This is now agitating His Excellency's
bowels. He incires to the opinion that the sig
natures Of the forty persons who may be upon the
bond sho1Id be on the stamp about an inch in
length. The fact that it is impossible does not
enter into the consideration of the subject.
His Excellency once read in an almanac that an
ingenious mechanic had, with the aid of power
fui magHifying glass. engraved the Lords prayer
on hvecent piece, and sees no reason why the
same feat should not be ACCOMPLISHED in this case
Should Mr.. WALKER meet his ExceIIency's
views and the bond be ever put in suit, it will be
quite refreshing to see the Judge, bar and jury
inspecting the stamp with glasses to ascertain if
the bond is all right HoGARrH should be on
hard to do justice to the subject. His Excellency
will then stand good chance to get witness fee
in the case IL strikes US, however, after the LID
eral manner His Excellency has been using the

Governor seymour and Gen. WOOL.

The statement made by the New York Ex-
press to the effect that Gen. Wool, in the car
gard to the New York militia, had come in
collision with the constitutional authority Of
the Governor of that State. turns out to have
been all imaginary. The Albany Argus says
that Gen. Wool, on assuming the command of
Of the Department OF the East, instituted some
the forces in the department "But he has re-
ceived no orders from Washington which create
any conflict Of military jurisdiction with the State
authorities. The understanding between him
and Governor SEYMOUR in regard to the limits Of
military command. is perfect, and in all respects
cordial"

Meeting of The western Associated
Press an This CITY Yesterday.

large meeting of the Directors of the West
ern Associated Press assembled yesterday at the
Bulnet House
After the transaction of informal business. the
meeting passed unanimously resolution to call
on the members of Congress, by petitions. TO take
of the excise duty on imported rags and paper,
in view of the extraordinary prices of rags and
paper
lie is earnestly requested that the representa-
tives from this State and throughout the West
will interest themselves in this matter, and see to
it that this tax is removed. The present price of
paper is immense and exorbi:ant, and. with the
tax in addition, is working great hardship to
newspaper publishers throughout the country.
The request of the Associated Press is a reason
able one, and we feel confident that Congress will
grant the prayer of the petitioners.-[ Cincinnati
