with all the notes for the same period, will be made available under one alphabet.

At the end of each published opinion reference is made in a foot note to the Reporter System where the case may be found and also to the official report, when possible. In the citation of current decisions in the notes reference is made to both the Reporter System and to the official reports, which, we think, will be found a decided advantage over a reference to either, alone. In this connection we acknowledge our obligation to the West Publishing Company for their courtesy in permitting us to make use of the matter contained in their various reporters in the preparation of these volumes.

CHICAGO, April, 1895.

THE EDITOR.
