From the lips of the head of the nation 1
has fallen the declaration that the only "sty]

of patriotism which has swept over this land for t1

THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM. hist
it n
We have received from Judge J. Q. Pugh, legs
of Oaddo, a pamphlet containing a plan for exce
the reorganization of the Supreme court and be I
courts of appeal. is, I
The suggestion as to the change in the the
circuit court system is practically the same sur
pa that suggeste4 by the SENTIJEL several ial
weeks ago. a
It is as follows: hot
'~Art. 99- The courts of appeal shall
consist o~f alne Judges, and each circuit shall mis
be coposed of three Judges. They shall be livi
citisen, of the United States, and of this chi
State, learued in the law shall have practiced adi
law in this State six years, and shall have ins
been actual residents of the circuit from' tht
which they are appointed for at least two ani
years. They shall each receive a salary of euw
Lve thoueaa~d dollars per annum, payable ma
mnonthly on their own warrants.'t mc
As will be noticed this proposed amend
meeat to the Constitution provides for the be]
*ppolutment ot the Judges and not election. coi
We suggested the election of them by the ern
people. Either way would be a great im fi
provement on the present system, and we an
hope to mee the legislature act in the matter. ex~
The plan before us suggests reducing the ~
$urtedlction of the Supreme court by making we
caws appealable to that court when the wi
Satoimt in dispute shall exceed five thousand col
dollars Now all cases from $2.000 up are bu
mE
heard by the Supreme court and the result is ch
that the work~ before it is accumulating so the
that it pannot be disposed as quickly as itre
phiould be, and this accumulation of cases e
continue, and we cannot foretell what the:p
ped will be. I
JIqdge Pugh esys that the project is prac- I e
tically in line with the atnendmnents formu-t
Jated in 1894- He iias made a deep study off
this questiun. In 18:A be and Judge La.: fai

""Senator Tillman says that the Louisiana
lelegation in congress is composed of as fine
i pup of Republicans as ever met so far as;
;he sugar interest is concerned."
This item we found in the Baton Rouge
Advocate. We do not see why our esteem
ýd contemporaries keep on publishing the
4tatements of the erratic ill balanced Sena- T*
Lor of South Carolina,. He certainly is not
the apostle of democracy. To be opposed to
his way of seeing things is certainly to be
right, After the attitude of democrats on
Uhe Cuban reciprocity question we would like
to know how our delegation is classed. Cer
tainly not as republicans. The delegation} is
true and faithful to Louisiana interest, which
is more than the eonstitutent of the South
Carolina man can say of him.
But we do not projr'se to defend our
representatives in r o!,gress from his asper
sions. They do not need it. We only object
to having Tillman's staten-uents given rmubli
city.
Let ns shut down :n him, brethren of
the press. What he says is not worth quot
ing. It certainly does not disturb the equan
imity of our hard, working efficient represen
tatives. It does not hurt them with their
constituents. They are doing their duty U
well and faithfully and we glory in them.
AN OXFORD GRADUATE'S ENGLISH.
Ruled by the accepted standard that
"style is the man," the will of the late Cecil
Rhodes may hardly be said to be a happy
commentary on that gentleman's character; fl
for though, in purpose, it is concededly, as ke
the Manchester Guardian says, "an astound- a
ing document," it is yet, as a literary produG- Mg
tion, weak, egotistical and emphatically lack
ing in the skillful use of simple, strong, idio-'
matic English. In this respect it suffers sev
erely when compared with the writings of
other representatives of the imperial idea.
It is wanting, for instance, in the lucidi
ty and force that distinguish the imperishable
narrative of Casar's campaigns in Gaul. It
lacks the directness, simplicity and breadth
' illustrated in the 'Code Napoleon" and in
the will of "the Little Corsican." It pales
%into insignificance when read side by side
with the state papers of Bismarck, and it is
distinctly inferior in style to Gen. Grant's
history of the civil way. While, of course,
it may be somewhat unfair to compare this'
legal document with the examples of literary
r excellence we have mentioned, there can yet (
I be little doubt that the will of Cecil Rhodes
is, from the literary viewpoint, mediocre in(
e the extreme. In reading it one is not only
e surprised that it was written by "an imper
I1 ial man" but is also astonished that its author
was a graduate of Oxford, the immemorial
home of the ''humanities."
Il Here, for instance, is an example of what
11 might be called the style Rhodesian:
elie"And, finally, as the college authorities
liesecluded from the world, and so are like
children as to comnmercial matters. I would
d advise them to consult my trustees as to the
Fe investment of these various funds, for they
would receive great help and assistance from
mthe advice of my trustees in such matters;
0o and I direct that acy investment made pur
)f suant to such advice shall, whatsoever it
le may be, be an authorized investment for the
money applied in making it."
d It may be that the idea contained in this
Sparagraph was Rho(Ies' but it is difficult to
ie believe that the man who wrote these words
n. conceived the idea of South African confed
ie eration. In expression, they suggest the self,
consciousness of a sophomore reading his
fi rst essay in the lecture room, and disclose
ye an inadequacy of grasp awd an infelicity of I
r. expression that are easily evident to every'*
be schoolboys's sense of criticism. Worse than'
all this, which is assuredly bad enough in its
agway, this excerpt, which is typical of the'4
he will, indicates that Cecil Rhodes was not j
id content with the calm statement of his plant
re but that he desired to supplement this state
.ment with explanation and argument, -a
's characteristic that is little in harmony with'
so the temper of men who are in the habit of
it reachimig conclusions surely and of executing
their decisions with celerity. Caesar, Napo
esleon, Bismarck, Grantr--none of these im
beperialists could hare made so grave an error
in style. They would have been content to
LO- siuk their personality in their work-to state
what was done and how it was done, rather
u- than the reasons that prompted their acts.
of The will &f Cecil Rhodes bears upon its'
a.face the warning that it is yet perhaps too
earlyT to estimate accurately the character. if
