LOUISIANA has court of appeals
which is an intermediary between the
civil district court and supreme court.
1t relieves the supreme court OF very
large portion, and the most onerous
part, of its labors. Some of the attor-
news of that state have suggested
tribunal of like jurisdiction to relieve
the docket of the U. S. supreme court
of certain class of appeals which lie
to it, by writ OF error, from the U. S.
circuit courts. The business of the U.
S. supreme court is constantly increas-
ing, and the delays at present encount-
cred by litigan:s amount to almost
denial of Justice. The feature in ques-
ton is about the only one contained in
the new constitution of Louisiana that
is worth borrowing from it. 1t ought
to be eminently salutary as a feature of
the federal judiciary.
A STATE senator of Louisiana has
proposed an amendment to the State
constitution prohibiting forever, after
such amendment shall have been
adopted, lotteries in the state of Lou
isiana. This cruel infection, which
Louisiana has borne so many years,
and with which she has undesignedly
infected other states, is as signal an
instance of selfimposed ignominy as
could possibly overtake people.
Senator Marston has a grateful duty
on his hands. Let him, however, be
mindful that the lottery has its cleo
tioneerlrg agents at every poll and its
representatives in every legislative
body, but for which twin facts there
would be no lottery to day to vex the
tired patience of the public. However,
the constitutional convention grappled
it with partial success, and we think
there is hope that Senator Marston's
amendment may, at least, throttle the
intamy,

The Kansas Wool

| Topeka Capital, Jan. ~,
The convention of wool growers
comprising the leading men engaged in
that industry in the state, which has
just adjourned, was one of the most
important gatherings Kansas has ever
seen, representing, as it did, branch
of the states product which is every
year growing larger and adding i'm
melsurahly to our wealth. The at
tendance upon the convention was over
100, representing an ownership of
something more than 100000 head of
sheep, and while this latter figure does
not include more than one-tenth of the
entire number Of sheep in the state,
the men who were in conference here
we're those who have, in the main,
been instrumental in attracting the at
tention of the general farming COM
munity of Kansas to the great advan-
tages to be derived from making a
speciality of sheep raising. 1t is no
exaggeration to put the entire number
of sheep in the state at 100000, and
it can easily be seen, by short time
devoted to comparison aud to a short
glance at the history of the industry,
that these figures are about correct.
The farmers of Kansas have, within
the past three years, laid out vast
amon1t of money in the purchase of
sheep of fine breeds, but they have,
also, within the same time, received
from the sale Of their clip many times
over what they have expended. No
county in the state is now without its
aocks, and some of these will compare
favorably with any in the country.
Kansas is becoming known as a sheep
raising state, and she is advancing in
rank every year, and is even now
closely pushing many of the common
wealths which were famous for their
tlocks years before she was admitted to
the sisterhood.
The action of the convention yester-
day in appointing a committee to re-
port at the next semi-annual meeting
upon the advlsability of establishing |
sheep registry for Kansas was a most
timely and sensible one, and will do
more than anything else toward put
ting this industry upon solid and
substantial footing. A registry is at
once a protection to the buyer, and
that what is there repre-
sented is to be relied upon. 1t pre-.
vents imposition upon buyers that
would otherwise be practiced by un-
Drincipled sellers who would have il.
,ense to swindle unsuspecting and con-
iding purchasers whose knowledge and
experience was not in proportion to
heir zeal and enthusiasm.
The showing made by the breeders
n attendance upon the convention was
! most satisfactory and flattering one,
md demonstrates conclusively that
Kansas is pre-eminently cited for ,
heep growing purposes. The record
las shown this, and the showing made /
y the convention further veri6es it {
The state has struck lead that Is de.
idedly paying one, and not only Q
hat, but one which adds greatly to her j
gricultural importance. II

Longevity of Geese.

!
1t is said that the lifetime of goose
is 100 years. Though we may doubt
this statement, we cannot directly con.
tradict it, as we do not just remember
whether it is the goslings that were
Matched in the summer of 1881 that
are now dying of old age; but there is
no question but that geese live to a
great old age compared with other
d nestle fowls. We have known a
goose to raise good flock of goslings
that we have reason TO believe was in
her 10th year. This is one of the rea-
son why pair of geese famous as prize
winners usually sell for so much more
money than an equally successful pair
of prize winning hens. The former
may be successful prize winners for a
great many years, while the latter can
only flourish for two or three years
at the most and then sink into OBJ
liviOn.

these statements for your eye only, and
would not exhibit them to you but that
l know you personally and esteem you
as do"
Although these statements were in
tended to be entirely private, duty com
pels their publication. The Church has
a right to know such facts, and our peo-
pie ought to ponder them. A long ac-
quaintance with the writer of this letter,
as well as the universal testimony of
esteemed brethren, enables us to endorse
him not only as man of prudence,
piety and ability, but as thoroughly de-
voted to his work, an earnest and ac-
ceptable laborer and one of the best men
in the Church in every respect.
The only trouble is, that he is labor
ing in pioneer field and among a poor
people. Shall he suffer on this account ?
He and many others like him are plant
ing the standard of Presbyterianism and
Christianity in destitute portions of our
own country amid many hardships and
trials. Shall they be left without the
needed sympathy and assistance? If
such a statement as the above were made
by a laborer in the foreign field the
whole Church would be aroused. Be-
cause our Home Missionaries are nearer,
sh Ill they be less dear to US?
Will not Christ's people be in earnest
to help in this work2 We ask for spe-
cial gifts for this cause. We beg our
ministers to present it to their people in
its magnitude and Importance. We call
upon our Christian women to give it
their sympathy and help. God is great
ly blessing our land this year with abun-
dant harvests Shall all our people have
plenty and only Gods ministers be al
lowed to suffer?
