the coast for the past twenty-four
hours, all the steamships arriving at
this port present an imposing and
beautiful spectacle, with their bulls,

Ice from 8 to 10 inches in thickness.
The steamship Justin, which reached

looked like moderate sized flowing
iceberg. Her decks, rails and rigging

Reducing Judicial Districts.

Among the bills before the legisla-
ture none deserves more thoughtful
consideration than the one reducing
the number of judicial districts in the
state. The time has come for Kan
sas rs u commonwealth, for the good
Of the people and for the benefit Of
their financial standing, to lop off all
possible expenses. A good deal OF re-
trenchment can be made about the
statehouse. Much more is possible
in u reduction of the numerous
"boards,7 commissions, etc.
In another line there is also an I'M
necessary burden on the people
There are too many judges, too many
courts. When the present Judicial
districts were formed the state was
booming; business was increasingi
litigation was abundant and the
courts were busy, Now the country
is older, the people perhaps more law
abiding and in few districts OF the
western two-thirds OF the state Is the
Judge holding court 200 days in the
year. In some OF the far western
districts not over &c days year Is
court in session. Yet all draw a sal
airy Of $4,000 year, A reduction in
this item Of expenses Is needed anh II
should be adjusted by a reasonable
and equitable re.districtng of the
state which will more equally dis
tribute the Judges work and decrease
the expenditure for court expenses.
