THE CONSOLIDATION OF TIE sUpRRAH
COURT.

The Illinois Bar Association has seen flt
to take up the question which has been ag-
itated for twenty years Of consolidating the
Supreme Court of the state at Springfield.
The Bar Association Is one Of those associ-
atoms very harmless In itself, which gets
together every winter a, Springfield and
resolve TO bring about certain reforms In
the legal affairs of the state. Speeches are
made, a banquet Is served, and then the
members adjourn and go home satisfied
with themselves and the work they have
done. The meeting on Wednesday was
not very largely attended, but 1t was very
enthusiastic and wrestled with some very
difficult questions After Gemolishing the
present system OF dividing estates and re-
solving very gravely that not more than
five hundred thousand dollars should be
left to a single person, the association took
up the question of consolidating the Su.
preme Courts Of the state at Springfield
and with equal gravity resolved that It
ought to be done.
Outside OF Springfield but twenty law
yers we're present and a. result the legal
luminaries of that city took advantage
of the situation and rushed through the
resolution, which Is expected to be the
starting wedge OF movement to secure
the passage of an act by the next legisla-
ture carrying their plans into effect Thus
far NO good reason has ever been adduced
for consolidating the courts at Springfield,
and what Is more no good reason can be
sdduced for such move. Why every
lawyer living In Northern Illinois, who
has business before the Supreme Court,
should be compelled to pay tribute to the
railroads leading into Springfield and to
the hotels there located, is quite beyond
our comprehension.
Springfield has 50 long fed on public
plumber that her citizens have developed q
most abnormal appetite, and In conse-
quence have ad ,ptei the practice o. going
for everything In sight. The only political
term we ever heard applied to this propen.
sity is that Of "hogging." They have
"hogged" it so long that they never know
when to stop, and having on Wednesday
seen an opportunity to'"hog" little more
they went Tor 1t, They are good people in
many ways, very social and all that, but
they want too much. We don't object so
much to awarding them the earth, but
1t seems like rubbing 1t in when they ask
us 20 fence II In for them.

Colorado, January 9th, after proposing
Three cheers for Postmaster GOodell, "
says: Colonel X, E. Goodeil WAS ap-
pointed to the office of postmaster at Lead
vile by President Cleveland yesterday.
We believe that this appointment will give
more general satisfaction to the people Of
Colorado than any other that has been
made by the Democratic administration.
Colonel Goodell is a man who would reflect
credit upon any Office within the gift of
the President and Leadville is Indeed
most fortunate in securing such An excel

DAKOTA AS A STATE.

Senator Harrison, from the senate com.
mittee on Territories, has submitted ma
jority report favorable to the admission OF
Dakota 70 the Union as q sister state TAX
ing heart from this report the lobby now at
Washington in DakOta's Interest have
plucked up courage and renewed their but
ton holing of distinguished senators with
unheard Of activity. The lobby is made
up of set of politicians who drifted into
Dakota in some instances rs federal APP
pointees and In others as spectators, and
their belief In the teritory's entitlement to
statehood is prompted by the fact that If
admitted they will secure the offices that
result from such statehood 1t WAS with
this public spirit and in the interests of
"public good" viewed In the light of their
individual interest, that a constitutional
convention was called without warrant of
law, submitted to the people, adopted, and
state officers, United States senator and
other officials chosen. Having secured
these positions, which At present amount
10 nothing except for dress parade, Senator
() Edgerton and his co-partners are in
Washington lobbying. This in itself Is
strong enough proof that under the present
order of things Dakota ought not to be ad-
mitted to the Union. If, as matter of
right and public good the territory ought
not longer to continue ~ such, that fact
can be ascertained without set of men
who want public station, and whose mo-
tives are purely selfish going to Washing
ton to join hands with the disreputsble
lobby that infes' the Capitol.
We do not understand that the people of
Dakota are suffering to any marked extent
because their government is territorial
rather than state. As far rs our observation
Is concerned their taxes are not higher
than they would be if they had representa-
tives In Congress who could vote, and in
no Instance do their courts fail TO mete out
justice as readily as courts organized In the
state adjoining Whatever distress there
is apparent Is among those who are suffer
Ing from an itch for the offices that would
be obtainable under state form of govern.
ment and are not obtainable under terri.
torial form. The distress ON the part of
these professional politicians is very touch
ing and appeals very strongly to personal
sympathy, but the public good ought not
to be sacrificed simply to relieve Indi-
vidual distress. Until there Is some better
reason adduced for the admission of Dako-
IA as state than merely political one she
should not be admitted 1t is high time
that the admission of territories, which as
states are no more than rotten boroughs,"
be stopped, and they should only be placed
upon the same footing with 1.-THE states

The POOR OF OTTAWA.

A very slight investigation has shown Us
ths. there Is in this city great deal of dis
tress arising from poverty. Much VI 1t Ia
Of a character that cannot be ascertained
by the Overseer of the Poor without those
cognizaLt of it making 1t q matter Of bust,
ness 70 see him about II. Again, much Of
1t Is the result OF sickness. which can only
be allsyed by private charity and by per
sonal attention to those who are suffering.
While it Is the duty of the public through
Its proper officials TO see that those who
make up the public do not suffer, and
while In this city and In the county our
officials have always come up to the full
measure Of their official obligations, yet
this in no wise relieves our citizens from
an individual responsibility In the premi,
ses. We do not doubt but that a great
many of our good people are now doing all
they car for those that ARE always with
u.s." but many are not, and TO these we
make an appeal. 1t is not even wise TO de-
pend entirely upon the church orgsnizs-
lions to do this work, for, like individuals,
churches are In the majority of instances
selfish and look on, entirely for their own,
rather than going into the highways and
byways, doing good wherever good is TO be
done. The little attentions paid TO those
who are 30 unfortunate as to need them,
and who must look to the kindly aid of
charity for sustenance during these days
and nights of cold and snow, take but little
wealth and but little time, and In the hap
piness wrought by them both the time and
the money expended will return TO the
giver more than fold recompense.
We earnestly ask the citizens of Ottawa
to look about them and see If in the homes
that crowd near to their own there be sught
of want and suffering and, If so, that they
take every measure necessary to bring
relief

Ia view OF the fact that the silver senti-
