THE INCOMING YEAR

Before we appear again new
year will have commenced. For
Kentucky it will be a year full of
great possibilities. Never before
in the history of the state was
such wonderful progress in its de-
velopment. Eastern Kentucky
is overlooking with wealth, and
population is drifting that way.
1t is naturally the richest part of
the state, and if wise and suita-
BILE laws are passed to encourage
emigration and investments, the
state of Kentucky will almost
double its population in the next
decade. One thing that binders
Kentucky more than any other is
its judicial system. The eastern
portion of the state has always
been handicapped with the fact
that its courts were behind with
the docketS. The criminal bust
ness has the precedence, and for
many years last past it has occu.
pied the entire time of the courts,
thereby preventing the trial of
important civil litigation, which
binders the development of the
state very materially. Land titles
must be settled. Commercial lit
igation must be determined, yet
all of this is made dependent on
the criminals of the country. This
criminal set in a few hours can
do enough work with their deadly
weapons to block the courts for
years. So long as the present
system is in vogue of giving the
criminal cases the precedence,
and so long as there is no
criminal court separate and dis
tinct from the circuit court for the
trial of these cases, just so long
will the important business of the
country lag behind.
The remedy which we suggest
is a complete enforcement of civil
and criminal business. This is
necessary absolutely, for the rea-
son that so long as they are in
the same tribunal, the civil cases
are made dependent and subserv-
lent to the criminal cases from
what might be termed exchange
of work on the principle of you
tickle me, and | tickle you" or to
be perfectly plain about the mat
ter you help me, and | will help
you"
To effect any beneficial result,
there must be a change in the
constitution which can only be
brought about by passing the
proper amendments in the legis-
lature and submitting it to the
vote of the people for their 1atifl-
cation. 1t could be relieved very
much by the passing ola bill at
the incoming session of the Leg
islature creating the office of spe.
cial judge to try criminal cases.
The present special judge law is
a farce, and should be immediate
! ly repealed, but this proposition
we will fully discuss in a subse.
quent issue. To pass the bill
which we named, and have eight
Ior ten special judges appointed
for the period Of two years te
clean up the docket, would be an
Immense saving to the state il
witness fees and other costs. Il

TO OUR PATRONS

With this issue we reach the
finish of our first year of journal
ism in Richmond. Many years
ago, we had some limited eXpef-
fence in this work, and some few
months before launching the
Madisonian we started the Es-
till Tribune at Irvine, KY, which
paper is still in a flourishing con-
dition at that point.
In this first year of our expert
ence in this city we have had
much to learn, both theoretically
and practically. The result of
our experience is that we have
learned that writing and publish
ing a newspaper is the hardest
work that one can do. (But al
ways excepting therefrom the
practice of law A newspaper
reaches the homes of the most
learned people who are advanced
in thought. 1t should be some
thing more than mere hand bill
or advertising medium, and must
be conducted along high intel
lectual planes. This we have
endeavored to do, and we have
given in our columns the best
thought of the ableSt writer of
our country, on subjects dealing
with the various problems of
social, commercial and farm life.
In doing this we have spared no
expense, but have kept our paper
well filled with matter, the price
of which made it cost us far more
than we obtained tor the paper.
| doing this we were building
I)r The future. AS a result, we
nave been gratihed with the
many kindly expressions of appre-
citation received from our readers
and from the public in general,
and we have been gratified that
our paper has found sufficient
favor and has been received in
many of the best homes of the
city and county. We have re-
fused to indulge in any automo-
bile, piano or other contests
to build up a subscription list, for
the reason that we believe that
such list would have no sub
stantidl basis. We preferred to
receive subscriptions on the mer-
its of the paper alone, and in this
we have not been in the least
disappointed, because we are get
ting new ones every day.
Owing to the fact that our bus
mess has been divided, both as
to office and character, we have
decided to concentrate the same
in one building, and we will re-
move our law office to the suite
of rooms over the Madisonian
during the holidays. This will
give us direct and immediate con-
troll over our entire work, and
will relieve us of many vexations.
We have also determined tomake
some alterations in the building
which we occupy, and also to in
stall some new machinery, all of
which will be done during the
Holidays, and for this reason no
paper will be issued the first
week of January.
1t is our intention to add new
features from time to time, and
keep abreast of the progress of
the times. We take great pride
in the preparation of this paper,
and we shall continue to give it
our best efforts, and our readers
shall have the very best that is
possible for us to give in small
country journal.
The new machinery which we
will INSTALL will give US greater
