Tu Vew Orleans Times savs: When it is recollected that there are now in session some 30 odd, more or less, of State Legislatures, all bent cn making laws of some sort or other for the government of the people, the situation would seem formidable enough . One would think that every possible provision would be made for every public need, and whatever might be required to promote the best Inter ests of the people, and to protects rights, fran chlses, property and life would be thoroughly provided for. When, however, we reflect that this sort of wholesale law-making has been o-oiniron for a century, and that the most pressing wants of the public service are still badly provided for, an J In not a few cases utterly neglected and even injuriously uealt with, It is plain that public confidence lu the wisdom of the average law-maker Is greatly misplaced. The fact is, about the best service done by our Legislature Is in repealing the wrong-headed and ill-advised acts of its pre decessors. Go to J. B. Dill's for Mr Freeman's New National Dies.
