ton, some of them remodeling all the most essen
tlal parts five judge the Council from history,
VIC must also say II has been in advance OF
public opinion, as It should be. The true mode Is
to educate public opinion TO higher excellence
on the one hand. and restrain popular excuses on
the other. 4 small council Of men, selected, as
they should be, for superior wisdom, is the best
body for this service But to history the Coun-
ellis Of 1902, 1873, 1920, and 1927, each proposed
a Senate, (the Council Of 1890 retaining the name
Of Council but giving it c,-ordiuuto powers,) but
every proposition for Senate was rejected till
1896. And again the Councils Of 1856 and 1920
proposed to reduce the number Of the House OF
Representatives aud this was rejected, as we
hope it always will be, since legislative bribery
thrive, only in small bodies.
Still again the Council of Censors has been
efficient in another direction, which the Free Press
proposes to abandon that is, in exposing and
correcting unclnstitutional or unwise legislation.
As examples the Council Of 1885 condemned
more than twenty acts the Councils Of 1893 and
Isi3, condemned three acts each the Council Of
1920 condemned all private acts Of suspension of
the collection Of debts aud or insolvency and the
Council of 1897 ditto and also the demonstrations
al habit of permitting Z. s officers to hold State
Offices. Our recollection is thata still later Coun-
Gil successfully condemned a Legislative act The
results then, Of the plan of the Free Press will
b, to relieve the legislature from the check Of the
Council upon its proceedings, and to give it the
primary power over all future amendments. We
do not think the plan an improvement in any
point OF view

APPRENTICE WANTED.
To our Subscribers.

The last meeting Of the Editors and Publishers
Association in this State recommended the adop-
ton Of the system Of prepayment Of subscriptions
to all the papers of the State. In our Judgment
this is the best system for the subscriber as well
as for the publisher. Action has however, been
delayed by our cotemporarics as well as ourselves,
until il is rather late to put this recommendation
in practice in all cases the coming January. We
have determined, however, to so far commence
practice under the system of prepayment as to en-
ter the names Of no new subscribers on our list
after this date, unless the subscription is prepaid,
and to discontinue all new subscriptions when
the time for which they are paid expires. And
we shall be Obliged to all our present subscribers
if they will, as far as possible, commence with
the new year to pay us in advance and such of
them as are indebted to us on their present sub
scription will aid us materially If they will settle
this, and pay us for the coming year
