The Judiciary.

Judge II, VI. Wcad, of Peoria, one of the
Oldest and abeat legal practitioners in tins
state, in the Chicago Le3a! Nrs, thus gives
his ideas in reference to the rc-organ2a-
ton of the judiciary of this state, by the con-
stitu.ional convention now in session
EdHOr Legd Ncirs SO far, no one has
published any particular plan for remodcling
the judicial system in the new constitutions
When the convention meets it will find the
judicial system the most difficult portion of
the constitution to agree upon. In the con.
vention Of 1877, it was the very best part Of
the constitution adopted, and was not agreed
nnpon without tho greatest difficulty. The fol-
lowing plan has been proposed and may have
some merit;

Stray Thoughts.
lI.SII.

We have a friend who is so superflous AS
occasionally to take the trouble to think, and
what is more, to dot down his thought. We
give place to few of his stray thoughts in
our columns. They may put others TO
thinking.
A perfect state of civilization cannot be at
tanned or maintained without the aid OF rcIiu-
lous influences, for morality is a con>tituent
element of civilization, and religion is the
essence OF morality. True, many unbelievers
are strictly moral, but as there Is nothing IN
their own belet that would be likely to re.
strain them from being the contrary, the in
ference Is plain that they necessarily owe their
morality 10 the religious influences by which
they arc surrounded.

Whatever else may be said of the seven

that they possess natural abilities ranging from
the average to the highest degree Second.
that their education and learning ranges from
The average to the highest degree Third that
their knowledge Of Mi things mundane ranges
from the average to the highest degree. And
If 1t he true thqt they individually possess
these three qualities, then is there nnown TO
that body all the truths known To- man at
