NEW COURTS OF APPEAL.

The house having refused to pass the
senate bill providing for the appoint
ment of a commission of three to assist
the supreme court in %disposing of the
enormous docket of cases now before
that body, the subject Of giving the
court some assistance arises as OF great
Importance. The debate on the bill
brought to light the fact that the court
is three years behind with its business,
and thought the five judges xarkas hard
to keep the docket clear as coar- .,,n,,i
pected of any five men. litigants ara
compelled to be satisfied If they get
their cases disposed of in three years.
Something must be done, and it seems
that .perhaps the most popular relief
that could be offered would be to estab-
lish say two other courts of appeal SIM
liar to the one now in existence in st.
Louis-one at Kansas City and one at
some central city of northeast Missouri,
each court to have three judges, elected
by the people and to receive sufficient
salary to get the best OF talent. South
east Missouri could be attached to tho
st. Louis district. the number of judges
OF the supreme court could be reduced
to three, and with q cost of not more
than $25,O00 a year. additional, the
states citizens might be furnished with
the rapid and exact justice so much
Such a proposition would
require an amendment to the state con.
stitution, however.

THE REVENUE N

The last general assembly authorized
the issue of $3.50, 900 revenue bonds to
run two years and bear six per cent. in.
terest. The bonds we're issued and dated
June 1, 1877, and will be due the COM
ing June. Various plans have been
suggested to raise funds to pay off these
bonds. among others a proposition to
pay them out of any money that may
now be in the revenue fund. But such
demand would decrease the fund to
an extent that the regular warrants
hereafter to be drawn tor the various
expenses of the state government could
not meet with payment, and the origina-
tor OF the proposition provides for the
endorsement by the state treasurer Of
each warrant as presented, when if there
are n 10 funds for its payment the warrant
will bear interest at the rate OF $3.50 per
cent. or enc cent a day on each 800.
Another bill proposes to pay off the rev
enue bonds and issue $25O,000 in small
bonds. of the denomination of IS, $40
and S2O-bearing interest at 2 per cent.
and receivable tor any demands OF the
state. The last proposition would cost
the state about 81, 500 for engraving and
preparing the bonds.
