Too Much legislation.

during the war, aud some years
afterward, the Kentucky Legislature
got into the habit of assembling every
wiuter on some pretext or other. The
custom got such u hold that a great
many people came to understand that
it had to assemble annually, and mem
bers of the Legislature easily pursuaded
themselves that it was absolutely neces
sary. The double pay to the legisa-
tors made them shape legislation so as
to create the necessity, or to make
necessity appear reasonable 10 the
people.
We we'll remember that the news
papers of the State opened war on the
legislators, and demanded that they
meet but once in two years. The
people Of the State seconded the war
thus inaugurated by the press, aud the
public meu who, on the slightest oeea-
siOns had been INDUCING in annual
sessions, walked IN to public sentiment
and stopped those annual meetings.
We say that the public sentiment is
growing in favor Of only orc session
every four years instead Of bennially,
as nov, and We predict that in few
years no candidate or legislator can be
found to advocate more frequent ses
sions. Why, the people now have no
time to become accustomed to a law,
or test any particular act as to whether
1t Is good or bad, before probably
another session Of the Legislature is
on hand and possibly repeats the same,
or makes changes and amendments Of
some character Besides, its meeting
every four Instead of every two years,
would save the taxpayers of the State
about $4,000 annually. s.m

the proposition next August. Let
them awake to the importance of the
Issue, and demand that those who would
represent them in the State Legislature
shall be in accord with this sentiment.
Too many laws and too many officers
is the great political burden of our
State. We only need plain, simple
laws, and good officers to execute the
laws we already have.

there were no indications that the demand
would exceed the proportions OF the earlier
months OF The year. Later on larger flrs

some parcels OF Missouri and Virginia leaf
also found buyers, and the total sales may
be estimated from ], 900 TO 1000 hossheads.
These purchases were made, we believe. by
dealers aud manufacturers entirely in the
ordinary courses OF trade, aud were not OF
a speculative character, although no doubt
their operations may have been Influenced
to some extent by the somewhat stronger
adriccs from America. -
At present, however, there is nothing to
show that full crop may not be planted in
good time, so that, With existing stocks in
/ this country and in view, 1t Is difficult 10
discover any sound basis for, speculation.
Alive can say is that thereis more dispo-
sition to resist further decline than was APP
parent a few months ago, aud the disap-
pcarance from the market OF various par
cells OF mixed quality, which have been
offered about the country at very low
prices, viii give holders better chance OF

such lncurment By the War and Navy De-

Out Of the clause, ..But nothing herein

Mr. Carpenter said he would vote for the
amendment. He would at the proper time
like to unite with the lawyers OF the Senate
in trimming Federal jury law. At present
there was no such thing as trial by jury
in the Federal courts. The trial was by the
marshal and clerk. and they could pack o
