1t is not generally known by the
people Of the state that in addition
to the national and state tickets they
will vote for two amendments to the
state constitution this fall. The
first provides for the amendment of
sec 2 of art. Of the constitution
and reads as follows:
"The supreme court shall consist
of not less than five nor moie than
e'even judges, a majority of whom
shall constitute a quorum, and they
shall hold their Offices for six years
if they so long behave we'll. Any
vacancy caused by death or resig-
nation shall be filled by the COVER
nor as is now provided ty the con-
stitution, but any increase in the
number of judges shall not be filled
by appointment, but by election at
the next general election after any
increase is ordered" The constltu
ton as it stands now says that the
supreme court shall consist OF not
less than three nor more than five
judges.
The second amendment on which
the people of the state will vote this
fall provides for the anit ndment Of
sec. q of art. Of the constitution
and reads as follows:
"The general assembly shall by
law prescribe what qualifications
shall be necessary for admission tc
practice law in all courts Of justice. >
The constitution as it is now pro
vides that every person OF good
moral character, being a voter, shal
be entitled to admission to practice
law in all courts Of justice.
OK A SEPARATE BALLOT.
These amendments will be printed
on a separate bsllot, and the voter
will write eyes" or "no" in thu
space opposite the amendment, ac
cording as he wishes to favor or op
pose it. The fact that it is not gen
orally known that these amendment
are to be voted for gives rise to IT.
fear that not much attention will b.
: paid to them and that a great man.
will entirely ignore them.
The COURIER believes both OF tn
above amendments, which are onl..
Entering wedges to provide NOR
paying offices for lawyers, should b
defeated at the polls. The peopl
! of the State want no aristocracy

The Constitution ought to b

annually. This would so reduc
the profits as to prevent man.

Going 10 Bed in India.

Going to bed in India is very
different process from going TO bed
at home. To begin with, it is a far
less formal process. There is no
shutting the door, no cutting your
self off from the outer world, no go
ing upstairs, and finally no getting
into bed. You merely lie down on
your bed, which, with its bedding,
is so simple as to be worth de-
scribing. The bed is wooden
frame with webbing tackled across il
and each bed has thin cotton mat
tress. Over this one sheet is spread,
and two pillows 60 to each bed.
That's alll-Scottish American.

Neckbands OF Velvet.

Embroidered collars OF white
lawn are still worn over the top OF
dainty silk neckbands so as 70 pro-
tect the edge from the inevitable
soil of close contac. with the throat

prefer a narrow band Of white silk
on even white velvet cut in the bias.
This is basted into the TOP Of the
collar, and is preferred by the great
number Of women TO whom mar

becoming. There is something un-
naturally prim about the narrow
band Of hemstitched linen Bands
Of silk often look better than the
plain turnoyers.

THE PRESIDENTIAL rlCKErs.

Now that the National Democrats.
commonly known az the gold Demo-
Gratis, have decided not TO name a pres
identical ticket, ana the Anti-Imperial-
lists are not likely to go into the big race
Independently the list Of presidential
candidates Is probably complete for the
campaign OF 1900 It shows ten tickets
enough to suit the fancy OF almost ey-
eryone In the country who cares TO vote
az AL for presidential electors Il Is not
probable that an Of these tickets WIN
be represented IN all Of the states. since
In some sections the political parties
have a very small following, but every
state Is likely TO have seven or eight
out Of the ten national tickets, which
are as follows;
Republican, William Mckinley Of
Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt Of New
