The Judge of Probate of each county is requested to appoint two delegates. The delegates from this county have not yet been appointed. Commissioner Kolb has appointed Prof. JOHN R. GUIN, as one of the delegates from the 6th Congressional District to the National Farmer’s Congress that meets in Kansas on the 14th of this month. No better appointment could have been made. The Courier was the first paper in the state to call attention to the way the Alabama reports are printed and sold. Judging from the sentiment of the state press, there will be some amendment to the law as it now stands. The Alabama reports should be sold at two instead of four dollars. The new Chancery Division and a new Judicial Circuit will be made by the next Legislature. The Chancery Division will be composed of the counties of Jefferson, Walker, Fayette and Lamar, and the Circuit of Jefferson and one or two adjoining counties. The crowded condition of the dockets of both the law and equity courts in Jefferson will demand the change. We are informed that Hon. R. L. BRADLEY received several strong petitions asking that the term of the Circuit Court be reduced to one week. Which upon the whole is a very wise move and one which everybody endorses and expects made. It will if made lessen the expenses of the Circuit Court fully one third, which will be no small item to the tax-payers of the county. The expenses of Circuit Court is something over two thousand dollars per year, and with one week terms it may readily be brought within fourteen hundred, and perhaps the cause of Justice not suffer in the least. QUESTIONS OF THE DAY The Soldier’s Monument will come in for a considerable share of the time during the next sitting of the Legislature. Perhaps no one in the state will object to a small appropriation to erect a plain monument to Alabama’s departed sons of valor. In connection with this will come a call to pay to the living relicts and dependents of these men, afitting recognition of the debt due them by the state. How many of the wives and children of these men to whom this monument is proposed to be erected are now in the poor houses of this state, or are reduced to circumstances of want. Could one or a thousand voices be awakened from the cemeteries of the Confederate dead, each and every voice would be to pension their widows. The monument can be built later as well as now; but who can retrieve wrongs that have been done the dead. The argument that now, or never with the monument means nothing. Never will Alabama refuse to do honor to her gallant dead, and if the next generation of Alabamians refuse to build the monument, perhaps it would be best that it is not built. Our law-makers will honor Alabama and her gallant dead, if they will appropriate $40,000 per year to the indigent widows and indigent maimed soldiers of the state. This appropriation should have all the possible safeguards thrown around it. None of it should go to widows or to maimed soldiers who are well off in the goods of this world. This state cannot with consistency go into the pension business, but many with propriety strew a few flowers in the short path of her indigent and aged citizens to whom she is indebted for gallant services.
