parish courts, unless they are to be trans
ferred to the justices of the pc ace er ~ecesst-
tate rei 1t Is Q question OF some Importance
and we ask: What is to become OF them?
2. The salaries of the judges should be
fixed What has been the custom is no part of
the business of to-day. The people require
at this time certainty in all financial matters.
II the judges are to be paid either $4,000 or
$4,000, say 50.
g. Article IS having been stricken out and
amendment TX substituted for it, in all seri-
BUSINESS what becomes OF the Supreme Court?
They can have no successors, for the amend
mept does not prescribe mode either BY APP
pointment or election; requires no qualifica-
tons or citizenship, and fixes no quorum. 1t
may be contended thai as now organized it
will continue without term. That will be ex-
traordinary hair splitting, but in these days
of wonders we may not be surprised at any
thing But if the entire omission of all the
essentials of an Office in the new, and the I'M
| qualified striking of them out of the old ar
ticle, does not abrogate the law and abolish
the Office, then we must admit that we have
| read law to little purpose and studied the
science of government to no advantage.
| A. The tenth amendment discovers the haste
of their preparation In providing q fat salary
| for q court that had been tacitly dropped.
| Some may think there Is wisdom In 1t, that 1t
| is best, that it is progress. Science develops
slowly at first. only a few eyes can discern It,.
| We are as blind as a bat. Good may come OF
| it, but it will be when pandemonium is turned
| loose.
| The proposed amendments do not answer
| the requirements of the peoples condition.
We show above into what utter confusion it
is proposed to precipitate the judiciary system
! of the State Such patchwork was never
heard OF before, and the work shows haste
and lack of legal knowledge which is mex
cusable and too clumsy for serious considera-
ton. Out of this confusion there Is o plain
path of escape, and it is the only one. Call a
constitutional convention, composed OF dele
gates chosen by the people, and let the or
ganic law be changed fundamentally. Patch
work Is cheat and q fraud.

rather destroyed, by the manipulation Of 1t by
ward politicians and candidates. for the pur-
pose of advancing their political schemes.
The commercial and industrial interests OF the
city require that this force should be under
the control Of an honest head and strong
arm, and that 1t should be thoroughly disci-
plined and efficient. 1t should be composed
Of honest and conscientious men, and not OF
the tools, henchmen and followers of politl'
clans or officials. Those who really regard
the good of the city as paramount to the aspi
rations of politicians should, therefore, make
1t a point IT, oppose any man who attempts tf
divert the police from its Legitimate and sin
gle purpose the protection Of the lives, liber
ties and property of the public.

Sunset Cox slightly touches upon the tariff
the farmer pays, as follows:
"The farmer, starting from his work, has a
shoe put on his horse with nails taxed 81 per
cent, driven with hammer taxed 81 per cent,
cuts stick with knife taxed so per cent,
bitches his horse to a pillow taxed 50 per cent,
with chains taxed 81 per cent. He returns to
his home at night and lays his wearied limbs
on sheet taxed So per cent, and covers HIM
self with blanket that has paid tax of $50
per cent He rises in the morning, puts on his
humble flannel shirt taxed 80 per cent, his
coat taxed 50 per cent shoes taxed 35 per cent,
and hat taxed 20 per cent, opens family wor-
ship with a Bible taxed IS per cent, and kneels
down to his humble meal from a plate taxed
40 per cent, with a knife and fork taxed IS per
cent, drinks his cup of coffee with sugar taxed
70 per cent, seasons his food with salt taxed
100 per cent, pepper, 297 pei, cent, and spice,
1877 per cent; he looks around on his wife and
children all taxed in the same way, takes a
chew Of tobacco taxed 100 per cent, and leans
back in his chair and thanks his stars that he
lives in the treest and best government under
heaven"
