ONLY ONE APPELLATE COURT
Is Proposed by Senator Parker to Sit at
Topeka

Is Proposed by Senator Parker to Sit at
Topeka.
The suggestions made by Chief Justice
Horton about the establishment Of an
appellate court to relieve the supreme
court Of much of its work, has set all the
lawyers in kansas talking about the mat
ter aud the mem bers of the legislature
and state senate are trying TO figure out
how the courts are to b. esta blished
State Senator J. w. Parker Of Olathe,
one Of the members Of the senate VINO Is
a lawyer, was in Topeka today lOOkin 2
up some legal matters in the state law
library.
Parker said: @Tne people Of Kansas
seem to have made up their minds TO
have two appellate courts, or one court
with two divisions. For my part I think
one court tablished at Topeka would
be mucn preferable. A court established
here would have the advantage Of the
state library and one established court
could do the work Of two courts moving
from place to place and holding their
sessions.
ut has been suggested BY Senator
Sterne that two courts with the same
jurisdiction would be likely to conflict in
some Of their decisions, aud that would
be avoided By an established appellate
court located at Topeka.
There seems to be a strong sentiment
in favor of an appellate court with TWO
divisions, the judges of which viii travel
around and hold court in several places.
In the eastern division Fort Scott is de-
term med to nave a court and ID the west
ern division Wichita and Garden City
want the court The plan seems to be 10
have the court OF each division sit IN
about three different places"

Another effort will be made at the
coming session of the Legislature to
place the Delaware militia on better
footing than that upon which it stands
now.
1t Is well.known that certain reforms
are needed. This month closes the
term Of the existing militia administra-
ton of which Acknowledgement Garrett
of THE GAZETTE called on that
officer last Thursday, and in view Of the
fact that he is now on the eve Of re-
linquishing office, asked him to make a
public statement Of the chief reform
measures needed and also OF the more
important requirements of the State
militia.
In reply to the question us to what
the National Guard Of Delaware needs
in order TO pun it in an efficient and
worthy condition General Hart, after
conceding that the service in this State
is not what it should be, said:
The first thing needed is tic enact
ment of such legislation as will provide
for the proper government OF officers
and men.
Second. Legislation which will make
the Delaware militia laws conform more
closely to the United States army regu-
lations.
Third. A sufficient appropriation for
500 officers and men.
Fourth. The abolition of the existing
regimental formation, and in lieu of it,
the establishment OF battalion forma-
ton of four companies. Each of these
battalions should be commanded by a
major. Then such further formations
might be introduced according to the
number of battalions, and as the best in.
terest of the service would warrant.
Fifth. There should be an appropria-
lion sufficient for an annual eucamp-
ment of seven days.
Sixth. The State should retain the
armory here, should turn it over to all
the companies in the city of Whining
ton, free of cost, save for fuel, light,
janitor, and other minor expenses.
Seventh. The headquarters of the
Acknowledgement should be made per.
manent in Wilmington.

Three SECRET SOCIETIES
K. of p, the Odd Fellows and
Sons of Temperance.
UNDER THE BAN OF THE CHURCH
Mgr. SatolIi's Instructions
From Rome.


Considerable discussion is aroused
over the ouncement that Bishop
Mcdonnell, II Brooklyn, had made
known to the assembled clergymen of
his diocese the contents of communi-
cation from Monsignor Satolli, stating
that the apostolic delegate had received
instructions from Rome to notify the
archbishops, bishops. and priests of the
United States that the American arch
bishops action at their Chicago meeting,
relative to certain secret societies, had
been ratified.
The meeting in question was held last
year at the residence of Archbishop
Feehan, and, as is the usual custom, the
sessions were secret. The results OF this
conference, however, were in due time
forwarded to Rome, where they were
carefully reviewed.
1t is now made known that the ques-
ton of Catholics having membership in
certain secret societies was one OF the
important questions considered, and
that the American archbishops eX-
pressed their disapproVal Of the knights
of Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the
Sons of Temperance.
In Philadelphia last Thursday Arch
bishop Ryan stated that he had received
q similar communication from Monsig-
nor Satolli. The Odd Fellows, Sons of
Temperance and the knights Of Pythias,
the Archbishop said, were the only
three societies named. The Sacred
Congregation in Rome, he said, had
decided that Catholics should not join
any OF these three societies, and admon-
ished Catholics a!reauy belonging to
them to leave them.
OF the three societies named, the
Archbishop said, the Knights of Pythias
was the only new one to come under the
church's ban, the other two having beer
previously disapproved OF. AS far back
as Archbishop Hendricks time, he SAID
the Odd Fellows have been condemned
Subsequently, however, q document
had been issued from Rome which wa:
interpreted in such way as to modify
| the church's attitude towards the Ode
| Fellows. The decisions reached by the
American Archbishops, now confirmed
| by the highest authorities in Rome
leaves no room for doubt concerning
their standing, so far us the Catholic
| church is concerned.
| llC iASb tL1lb no llltlllOu Wd5 llldSlt
of the Masonic Order, Archbishop
Ryan said, did not warrant the conclu
sion that Catholics were permitted t,
join that organization. There was NJ
necessity at this time for stating tha
Catholics were forbidden to becom
Masons, because that fact was wei
understood.
The archbishop said there was n,
mention in the communication regard
ing the Ancient Order Of Hibernians
which society, he said, was not con
demned.
THE CHURCH ENCOURAGES TEMPERANCE
The Sons of Temperance, the arch
bishop said, was not condemned as
temperance society. The Pope ha,
blessed temperance societies, and tn
Catholic church encouraged them. Ii
the archdiocese of Philadelphia tn
Catholic Total Abstinence Union NUN
bers 100 societies, and has a member
ship of 1880. The Sons of Temper
anoe, he said, was condemned as secre
society.

Editor Gazette and Jowrndl. The reception
rendered j. Edward Addicks by DIR. G. w.
Marshall may have been disappointing,
and even a little hutniliating to the Sena-
torial aspirant. through the absence of
many prominent and influential Repub-
liGuns, but his visit here it seems, is not
devoid OF results.
1t is notorious that Mr.. Addicks has con-
verified the Sentinel from party paper to a
personal organ, run exclusively for the
advancement of his own personal ends
and purposes; and in the same Ito hm)
honorable way he has made other Repub-
lican papers in the lower counties neutral
upon the Senatorial question.
Now, it seems the editor of the Chronicle
of this town. has become likewise inocu-
lated. The fetching manner of Addicks
and the taking ways OF Townsend render
the two congenial companions. The
Chronicle this week becomes the organ of
Addicks and thereby the enemy of the
State. REPUBLICAN.
