Attest: President pro TEN
II. L.. EsTORGE, Clerk.

The Sun says of Senator Hill: Gle
has been squarely and fairly beaten at
Chicago, and sIuarely and fairly he has
borne himself In the contest from be-
ginning to end. The New York Demo-
Gratis are with him, in failure as in sue
cess, aud he will be with them as long
as there is political principle to defend,
a Republican antagonist to outgeneral
or an election to carry for the Dem
ocracy."
This ntterance from the New York
Sun will be read with qualification by
every Democrat i'll the Union. 1t is, in
fact, the utterances of TammaDy, and it
means that Senator Hill and that or
ganizatiOn have resolved to subordinate
their hostility to Mi. Cleveland to their
duty as Democrats. The Democracy Of
the United States will now have softer
place in their hearts aud ID greater res
pect for Tammany than ever before

The judges of the Cnited States Court
OF Appeals for this circuit held court in
New Orleans yesterday dressed in their
Mother Hubbards.-NcwD Delta.
That is all right for the L. S. Court,
but the State Court Of Appeals has no
necessity for wearing Mother Hubbards.
Even these flowing garments would fail
to conceal from the people the entire
useessness of the judicial extravaganza.
Perhaps before the session is over the
legislature may find time to take action,
aud graciously permit tho people to say
for themselves, whether or not they
wish to continue this highly ornament
al, but entirely unnecessary appendage
to Louisiana's judicial system. Ii the
State is rich enough to afford it, we'll
aud good siDecures are then in order
and the faithful should be duly reward
ed for their partisan zeal. 1t however,
the legislature should ever, by and pos
sibility, conceive the idea that more
funds were needed for levee and educa-
tional purposes, and determine to en-
deavor to benefit both by cutting of
all useless and expensive appen1ages,
and devote the amount thus saved to
important uses, then it could make no
better move in this direction than by
submitting an amendment to abolish
the Appellate court.
