The law now requires that the governor appoint an equal number of Republican and Democrats on those boards so as to give them a complexion. The proposed change is to remove that restriction and leave the governor to appoint whom he will, regardless of political affiliations. Of course that would mean that the boards will be entirely Republican or Democratic, according to the politics of the party in power. We think it would be well to go a little slow in that direction. Minorities have rights which ought to be considered. The Republicans, of roost now, but it rule the course, a would be bad thing for them to lose their heads. vants with kindness and consideration instead of cruelty, as is too often the case.

The salary, too, should be large enough to make it worth the while of capable, honest men to take the positions. The present system for the last dozen or more years has been a monumental failure from every standpoint. JB jB Judge O. W. Powers and Judge Thomas Marioneaux have formed a law partnership, to take effect on January 1, after the expiration of Judge Marioneauxs term on the bench, and when Judge D. N.

Is there any other 3tate in the Union where there has not been more than one case of bigamy or polygamy in 14 years? We think not. If there were no lawbreakers, there would be no need for either laws or penalties. The next monthly meeting of Nauvoo Legion Association will the be Malay Marriage Laws. The Malay is allowed four wives, but he is too wise to take the limit simultaneously or to be on with the new before he is off with the old; and though he may divorce and replace without much difficulty, the women also have privileges, which.
