Thr Rejected Amendment.

necessary To await tho announcement
Of the result Of th. official canvass to bs
certain a. Ia its fate The returns were
tabulated by IN. state BOARD Of Can
vassers at Albany on Friday. and they
show that this amendment was rejected
by majority of only 292 votes
The purpose of tho amendment was
To increase the number Of Judges of the
Court of Appeals from seven To nine
and to augment their compensation by
the sum of 81 300 "a wear As matter of
fact. there now are and for many years
have been nine Judges OF the Court of

State; but the up State counties gener-
ally voted against H. II IN difficult TO
explain this difference Of sentiment
The slight increase in the compensation
OF the Judges proposed seems INSULT
Cient 10 account for IL. As things now
are. the Judges of the Court Of Appeals
receive 81, sD a year less than the SUI
preme Court Justices IN the New York
and Brook lyn districts. so that no JUS
ticc of the Supreme Court in this city
can accept an appointment or election
to the Court OF Appeals without con-
senting 10 reduce his annual income by
that amount Such professional pro-
motion ought not TO involve such pc
cuniary sacrifice The proposed 81 800
increase would hav. left the Judges of
the Court Of Appeals still at disadvan-
tage but for some incomprehenslbla
reason the people have neglected TO
take even that step toward putting the
members OF thu. two courts on an equal
footing
