then be composed of seven members
instead OF five, as has been the case
since about 1872, and the court will be
divided into two DIVISIONS and both
divisions will be at work thus doubling
the working capacity OF tins highest
tribunal of the state in hearing and
determining of causes. When the court
was increased from three members To
five, it was thought five men coal d at
tend to the business OF thi5 state, but as
population and wealth have increased
to such an extent that five men can no
longer attend to il and il seems that
another increase is now imperative.
This court is now behind on the docket
about three years. From this fact
alone dishonest Iitigants are encouraged
in taking appeals for the purpose OF
delay only, and in such cases az well as
in many others this delay is equivalent
to denial of Justice. In the event of
the adoption of this amendment the
governor will appoint the two members
added 10 serve until the next general
election i'm 1892. :"
Editor Griffith Frost, OF the Edna
Democrat, rciterates the warning to
democrats alluded 10 abOye. To be
iorewarned is to be iorearmed, and an
exposure of the plan will almost Ger
tainly defeat il:
"Democrats, be OH yonr guard. The
| republicans of Missouri propose TO trade
| off every other Office in the coming
election, in order 10 secure a majority
| in the next legislature. There are many
reasons for their action, but it is neces-
sary to name only one: If Mr.. Filley,
chairman of their state committee, can
secure majority in the legislature he
hopes TO be elected u. S. senator. and
tins would give him absolute power in
| the state. Therefore we would advise
all true democrats TO be on their guard
DO not allow your parliality for Local
candidate TO induce you TO trade your
vote so as to endanger the election of
democrats TO the state house OF repre-
sentatives and senate

Editor Yves Robertson shows wher
the responsibility rests, politically, TO
0 the Louisiana lottery:
"Republican papers are fond of re
ferring to the Louisiana lottery as
democratic institution. II was frs
chartered In 1868 by republican car
~ pet bag legislature. In 1879 demo
cratic legislature repealed its charter
which repeal was nulliiied by an IN

u. 5. district judge, and of course n
publican. The lottery was founded b
o republicans and has been fostered 4
them until this day"
