1888. to consider this question and . committee
was appointed to prepare bill Subsequent
meetings were held and the court of appeals

At no meeting was there a voice raised
against the appellate court plan. The only
point raised was that the present judges would
oppose the plan, it could never be carried and
therefore the association should propose a
plan which could be carried through Congress.

cordance with the wishes of the Judges
He represented the great interest which the
government sOf the United States has in the
court The court to be appointed, therefore,
Is = court OF the pc ople Of the United States.
He called attention to the fact that the oppo-
nents Of the appellate court had raised the point
OF additional expense which il would cause.
He said there would not be one dollar additional
required on, account Of additional records. The
real reason for this controversy il because il Is
thought the new bill would offend the dignity
OF the present judges. That is not the fact.

to dignities they do not possess. But what is

In the famous West Philadelphia Bar
tram Botanical gardens there hourishes
an Florida swamp cedar, the
trunk Of which is fully six feet in di-
ameter. This tree was planted under
very peculiar circumstances, well worthy
of narration. One day, many years ago,
the great Bartram was riding through
the state of marshes and alligators, and
the beast he bestrode was a very Roci-
mantle. So, to accelerate his journey, he
dismounted at a neighboring swamp and
cut a switch, with which he belabored
to good effect the lean and hungry steed.
The switch did such good service upon
this occasion that he preserved it, and
upon his return to Philadelphia planted
it in his garden, and the huge swamp
cedar is the Observation-Disclosures Re
