FOR BlMETALLISM.
Mr.. Skinner, Of North Carolina, Thinks He
Hns Solved the Problem.

HIS Solved the Problem.
WASHINGTON, March 30 Representa-
tive Harry Skinner, the populistic
leader from North Carolina, has con-
cocted bill and presented 1t to con-
gress. 1t will, he says, solve the finan-
cial problem and bring about practical
bimetallism. His bill provides for the
issuance Of bimetallic certificates Of
various denominations, which shall
have positive value of 100 cents on
the dollar These certificates are to
be issued to any person who may de-
post l1.6l grains of gold and lS5695
grains of silver lat a ratio Of sixteen to
one). These certificates, according to
their face value, are made receivable
for public and private debts, and when
received for public taxes shall be reis-
sued, and on their face guarantee that
the bearer shall, within II months, at
any United States depository, receive
50 cents worth of gold and so cents
worth of silver, according to the mar
ket value of the bullion as declared by
the secretary of the treasury.
The bill further provides that the
secretary of the treasury may issue the
certificates In the same proportion
against any gold or silver in the treas
ury, and when so issued shall retire in
equal proportion the present outstand-
ing gold and silver certificates. 1t is
also provided that the seigniorage
shall be covered into the treasury, to
be converted into a sinking fund for
redemption purposes. In case of de-
probation in the price of silver, the
secretary of the treasury is authorized
to purchase silver IN the open market
to meet the deficiency.

-rGNNEssEE's JUDICIAL SYSTEM.
Companions with States That Have
Adopted the Reformed Procedure.
4 S. HAMMOND

Comparisons with States That Have
Adopted the Reformed Procedure.
In compliance with a request from
The News for brief article on the
question as to whether or not the judi
-ciaI system of Tennessee should be re-
formed, and il so, whether such reform
can be accomplished without change
OF the State constitution, would say:
Section l of Article of the present
constitution provides that tho judicial
EBower of this State shall be vested n
one superior court, and in such circuit,
chancery and other inferior courts as
che Legislature shall, from time to time,
0rdain and establish" otc.
Section OF the same article provides
that the Supreme Court shall consist Of
Eve judges, and that said court shall
no held at Knoxville, Nashville and
Jackson" Section 3 prescribes the
nAuner of electing Judges of the Su-
pTenne Court" and section the manner
of electing "the judges OF the Circuit
and Chancery Courts" etc.
Those sections, according to the hold
ing OF the Supreme Court q Lea 319)
exact the preservation of the system CT
Circuit and Chancery Courts and prevent
chat wise and economical adoption of
enc reformed procedure and blending of
the courts OF law and equity which has
gaken place in thirty eight States Of the
Unioa.
New York adopted the reformed code
of civil procedure and abolished the sep
ar7ts courts OF law and equity in 1s4s,
md since that time every State in the
Union seems to have followed suit ex-
capt the States OF Alabama, Mississippi,
New Jersey, Tennessee and Vermont,
and some Of these may have lately Done
So
Tennessee must stick to the anti
auated and cumbersome system until
ehe can change her constitution. As a
result We have about twice as many
Scdges and clerks as are really neces.
sary. The people pay heavily in the
aggregate and the individual judges are
poorly paid.
The number Of regular judges on the
uaS roll in Tennessee with the amount:
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-04-23
OF their salaries for the current year,
shows UP as follows:

Thus the salaries of the regular judges
and chancellors aggregate $3.50 per
annum, and each succeeding legislature
seems disposed to add to the number Of
judges. The General Assembly OF 1895
created five new judges, three for the
Court of Chancery Appeals, one for the
new Criminal Court for the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit and one for the Second
Circuit Court of Davidson county.
The fact that there should be re-
form of our judicial system and reduc-
ton of the number of judges most
clearly appears from a comparison with
the adjoining States of Georgia and
North Carolina, both of which have
adopted the reformed procedure and
abolished the distinction between courts
of law and equity.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-04-23

In Georgia the regular judicial salary
list shows up as follows:
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-04-23
RecapltuIatlons.

The population OF the three States Of
Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina
is practically the same in number, char
acter and situation, and there is no rea-
son why there should be more litigation
in Tennessee than in the other two.
The comparative population federal
census of 1S9O) and aggregate annually
paid to the judges in each of the three
States will more clearly appear from
the following:

The Ladies' Auxiliary, A. o. Fl. Life
Insurance Fund of Minnesota, recently
paid its first death loss, on the policy
of Mrs. Powers of this city, the amount
collected and paid over to the de-
ceased lady's family being $9O.5O.
There is considerable activity in all
the A. o. II. divisions throughout the
city and applications for membership
are coming in rapidly. About 20 new
members will enter No. at its next
meeting and eight new ones were re-
ceived into No. last Sunday.
NEW DIVISION AT BUTTE, MONT.
The A. o. H. of Butte, Mont, had
an important meeting last Sunday
evening at the call of the county board
for the purpose of organizing a second
division Of the order. The state and
county presidents We're present. Messrs
O'Mara and Mather presided. The sec
ond division formed a temporary organ
ization only. Messrs. Furnis and Dris-
coll were elected president and vice
president. The new division will Sc
cure hall in the center Of the city
and will start with Furnishing mem
bership. Among its members will be
some of the most prominent Irish
Americans of Butte.
After the business of the evening
had been transacted there were reci-
tations, singing, speechmaking and
toasts. 1t is predicted that the new
division will have a large membership,
as the field is ample. The first divi-
sion has membership of 400 and own
their own hall and have $4,000 in their
treasury.
Div. No. 8, Ladies' Auxiliary of the
A. o. H., gave card party at their
hall last Tuesday evening at which
their many friends enjoyed the usual
good time afforded by these ladies. AZ
ter the card playing and bestowal of
prizes Refreshments were served, and
as soon as the tables could be cleared

State Treasurer John Sheehy, of the

of the reserve fund i'll the First Ma

been carried out TO the letter by the
officers of the fund. Too much credit
can not be given TO Messrs. Frank H.

secretary, and John Sheehy, treasurer,
of the fund, who have worked hard
and faithfully to bring about the above
result. At the meeting of the officers

meeting Of the board in May. Surety
companies do not guarantee against loss

ment OF the board that the funds were
fully as safe in tho hands of John

in any other banking institution. That
their action was wise is fully justified
by the results. Through the financial

FROM THE CAPITAL.

AS announced in last weeks issue
of the Irish Standard Div. No. 1 of this
city gave its first entertainment of the
fall and winter series of socials which
it intends to keep up. And oh, what
time. One would imagine himself on
the green hills of Ireland, at a dance
on the green now, and again you would
be forcibly reminded Of the 49, '48 and
81 boys in martial music and song, by
such volunteer and extempore talent
ever ready, as Bros. Judge Jno, w.
Willis, P. M. Moroney, II. j. McCor-
mick, M. Cummerford, Francis Kelly,
Thos. f. Carey, Ed. Mullaney, 1. B.
Nolan, ALT Mcdonald, Geo. Anderson,
and many others. 1t is needless here
to say that Div. No. 1 entertained their
visitors in their usual hospitable man
ner and every one went home
with pleasant remembrances of
the many good things that
were said and done for the future
welfare Of the division and the whole
order here. If such lovely and pure
brotherly socials were held by every
division right along the A. o. H. would
increase many thousands in one year
and there is no doubt in the world but
they will be inaugurated and kept up
by all other divisions here as we'll as
in the whole state from time to time
This social was handled by President
Mccoy, John Pewters and the literary
committee, viz: ALT. Mcdonald, Peter
Geoghagan, Francis McKernan, S. A.
Agnew and Thos. c. Divine. The Irish
Standards whole Office will be here
