Owing to the limited appropriation which
the past Congress allowed the postofiice de-
partment. and the calls made by the various
postofces in every part Of the country for
increased elerk-bire, II has been an almost
impossible task for the authorities to make
satisfactory division OF the appropriation
and not do injustice to the differen. Office.
Investigation Of the work at the Augusta
Office disclosed the fact that more clerks
were needed, and recommendation to
that effect was made by the inspectors IN
charge. The question has been undecided
for two months. bat it has been fonpI i'm
possible at the present time to ALLOW an To-
crease appropriation for the Augasta Of
flee. II is hoped that at later date Con-
gress will allow additional money to the
postofiice department in order that the con
SANITY increasing work in every part OF
the country may be met, Ard that the pres
ent efficient service may take no back

the mos, perfect in the worli, 10 greatly
crippled by mistaken economy. The postal
service touches every person in the United

The statement is made that the weight Of
the rail used on the American roads has
been increasing steadily during the last
twenty years, and this notwithstanding the
abundance of timber available for tirs, the
fact in question being due solely, ii sp-
pears, to the increasing weight Of rolling
stock, cars Of every description being much
heavier than they were formerly and their
capacity greater. The figures given show
that twenty years ago the maximum capsci-
ty Of a freight car was from twenty thou
sand to twenty -four thousand pounds, while
at present il is from sixty thousand to eighty
thousand, some cars, in fact, having been
constructed with freight-carrying capacity
of one hundred thousand pounds. In re-
gard to engines, one Of thirty tons was some
years ago regarded as of fair sire, but they
are now built Of sixty. seventy and eighty
tons weight. Until the last ten or twelve
years or 80, the average weight Of rails was
fifty six pou nds to the yard.

A recent bulletin issued by the
Department of Agriculture, contains
some important statements and adds
some interesting conclusions corn
corning the adulteration of food, es
pecially of canned goods. The in
vestigations which have been under
taken show that the adulteration is
not confined to the United States
but is practiced freely in Europe.
There are Intentional authorizations,
but there are others which are large
ly incidental. The Boston Traveller
commenting thereon says that 'sthese
results are largely due to the meth
DDS. employed and especially to the
materials used in canning, poison
ing to some extent the vegetables,
fruits and meats which it is intended
to preserve"
This investigation has shown that
where Upright plate" tin is used the
contents are free from deleterious
substances, but that a mixture of
lead and tin is often substituted.
This is done on the score of cheap
ness, as lead is worth many times
less than tin.

that the market has toned up and

This certainly is cheering and a

A special to the Times-Democra
from New Iberia, says:

from New Iberia, says:
Sherifs Cade and Broussard, of iberia and
Lafayette, respectively, were here to-day in
conference relative to the organization of an
association of the sherifs of Louisiana. They
have issued call to all shertfs of louisiana
to assemble in convention at Lafayette, La,
on Saturday, October "a, 1898, at the Court
House, at 4 O'Clock, p. NJ, to effect an or
ganization of sheriffs. Any sheriff holding
Office in Louisiana is eligible to membership.
Among the proposed objects are to nu-
tually aid and assist each other in enforcing
the penal laws of the State to arrest and
bring to trial criminals and fugitives from
justice; to suppress lawlessness and crime :;
to bring to bear all lawful and reasonable
| means to exercise their duty, and to accom-
plish that end by prompt and energetic
ton to meet and discuss subjects of inter
est to officers, and the adoption of such
methods that will improve the present system.
| The sherffs of Texas have similar organ
| ization, and after practical test, it has pro-
ven its value. The idea is to keep sherffs
| fully posted upon the movements of suspi
cious people, and by some adopted system
be in communication with each other con-
stantly. The organization will be non-poli
teal, and if successful in its primary organi-
cation, it is proposed to get II police officers
I throughout the State to join, and by that
means work together in enforcing the laws
and capturing criminals. The organizers
have been encouraged in this move, and a
full attendance is assured,

W4NZED-ANOZHER/ JUDGE
Under the above caption the
Franklin Vindicator says

Franklin indicator says
It is a self-evident fact that the 18TH Jud
cial District is too large for one man to
handle. This district, composing the parish
es of Lafayette, Vermilion and St. Mary has
a volume of criminal and civil business TO
dispose of each term which keeps the judge
actively engaged upon the bench torty-seven
weeks actual time every year. Terms OF
court to handle the criminal affairs is sup
posed to occupy three weeks, but generally
speaking, the docket is not more than half
cleared away when that time is consumed
consequently those who are charged with
crime must either he bonded out or kept con-
fined until the approaching term comes
around.
spt edy trial to all those charged with a vIo-
lation of law, but under the existing condi-
tons this cannot be had. Trials are as
speedy now they can be made in this dis
trict. The judge cannot abandon regular
term of court in one parish to afford relief
and empty Jail in another thus making 1t
necessary for prisoners to remain incarcer-
ated for indefinite period.
There are at present four terms IN each
parish a year, with three parishes, making
the Judge put in twelve months actual time
on the bench, and only about two-thirds of
the cases on the docket can be unloaded, in
an outside estimate.
Considering the above and, also,
comparing with the other districts,
it is clearly evident that the duties
imposed on the Judge of this dis
trict are onerous and unequal and
relief should be extended, it
would be an act of strict justice.
In our mind, the judiciary in SO
far as it relates to the Circuit and
District courts should be recon-
structed. And it is to be hoped that
the committee appointed to revise or
suggest amendments to the constitu-
ton will give this matter their most
earnest thought.
Perhaps, a measure OF relief could
be found in the adoption of a sys-
tenn akin to this: Let the circuit
and district courts be abolished, and
in their stead let a judge clothed
with the powers, now possessed by
the circuit and district judges, be
appointed from each parish to sit in
an adjoining parish, SO that he can
not be accused of being biased, and
let the salary be graded from $1,000
to 5000 per year, based upon the
be transacted. This could be APP
proximated by taking the amount of
business done in the preceding two
years. The dockets in each parish
could be easily kept cleared, and
the rights to a speedy trial guaran-
teed by the constitution would be
secured at once, and not be an
empty form as is now the case in
many instances.
1t is probable that objection may
be taken against the amount Of sal
airy. But this need not be a stumb-
ling block, and could be augmented
IS per cent. and at that amount it
should not be difficult to find men
worthy to wear the judicial ermine.
The main point in our suggestion
is to secure the quick despatch of
court business, and, we think, our
plan would work with effectiveness.
