Tho New state Constltutioa.

tomorrow closes the political campaign
| which has 80 deeply engrossed the attention
| and excited the interest Of the professional
politicians and the leaders of parties for the
past two months. To the voters of the city
and State the election tomorrow has far
deeper interest than that involved in the mere
question as TO the success of either of the two
great parties cOntendng for the spoils OF
office or for the mastery in the legislative
halls of the State. The new constitution,
which we publish in full in our columns this
morning, is to be submitted to the votes of the
people, and they alone are to determine
whether that instrument shall BIO wholly or in
part adopted or rejected.
From perusai of the appended sections Of an
act ofthe Legislature explanatory Of the manner
Of voting it will be seen that four ballots are
offered on the constitutional questions, each
having its own peculiar Significance and i'm
portance-one on the s'Constitution," one
Observation-Disclosures" one "Constitu-
tion-Assessmen and Taxation" and one
Suffrage" All of these are to
be voted upon separately. With regard to the
Judiciary article the necessity for the reform
which it is intended to effect las been so long
felt that it is presumed it will receive the APP
prevail of the whole electoral body of the State
It's adoption does not affect any of the other
principal articles Of the proposed instrument.
The suffrage question, which at another
time, aud coming before tho people under
other circumstances, and unaffected by pre-
vious paramount legislation, would be the prin
cipal point at ISSUE really becomes second
airy tion-supererogatory, In fact
1t matters little how tho electors vote on the
suffrage ballot, as the fifteenth amendment to
the federal constitution, which was ratified by
the Legislature last year, covers the whole
ground, and already practically disposes of
the question of suffrage as embodied in the
new constitution. With the adoption of the
Judiciary article, carefully drawn up by the
most eminent members Of the legal profession,
and 80 greatly needed to reform patent abuses
known to all, and the suffrage question already
decided, there is little reason to fear the fate
Of the new constitution. No doubt it is
destined to be adopted and to live out such
term Of existence as is natural and compatible
with its inherent strength and soundness.

s;pnin--The Monarchy Question.

The great question at the present moment
in Spaiu is Who shall be king? The
numerous candidates have been reduced
to two-the Duke of Montpensier and
the Duke Of Genoa. The Duke of Mont
pensier, as is well known, is the
fifth and youngest son Of the late King Louis
Philippe, Of France, and husband of the only
sister Of Isabella, ex-Queen Of Spain. Mont
pensier, who was born in July, 1924, is in his
forty-sixth year. The Duke of Genoa is
nephew Of the King Of Italy, being the son Of
Victor Emanuels brother Ferdinand The
Duke, who was born in February, 1854, is in
his sixteenth year. He was lately, and 80 far
as we know, is now, pursuing his studies in
England, under the care of Mr.. Arnold at Har-
row-on- the-Hill. From all accounts the Duke
of Genoa appears to be the favorite candidate
with the party now dominant in Spain. Nor is
it difficult to see the reason why. The Duke
is SO young that practical regency would be
necessity. The young King, while his name
would be used for every scheme good, bad
and Indifferent, and while all his chances
might be ruined before he knew what it was to
rule, would for the present be no more than
royal fgurehead. He might be Of some use
to his ambitious ministers and secretaries gen
orally; but he could be of no use to Spain II
we'll advised he ought to have the courage to
refuse worthless but dangerous bauble,
though named q crown.

Sir SAMUEL BAKERS NILE EXPEDITION
This important expedition, comprising well
equipped army Of five thousand men and seve-
raj steel steamers, built in England, con-
structed SO as to be taken to pieces at the
rapids and put together again in the river
above them, has left Lower Egypt on route for
the great lakes from which flow tie head
streams of the Nile. The objects are the
annexation of the whole Nile valley to its head
in the great elevated basin of the Equator to
the viceroyalty Of Egypt, and to put all those
wild tribes Of the upper valley and basin to
the cultivation of cotton. Apart, however,
from these objects Of the Viceroy, the expedi-
ton will no doubt result in valuable acquisi-
tons Of knowledge to the scientific world
touching the still unsettled geographical prob
lens Of the Nile sources and the equatorial
region drained by the sacred river.

prevent tho United States recognizing the
| Cubans and to enable her to hold on to the
island or course the Secretary OF State
wouid not be influenced directly or knowingly
| by Spanish gold but may he not indirectly and
unwittingly? II has been rumored-and Bos-
| ton newspaper gives currency to the rumor--
| that Mr.. Fishs son-in-law receives large fees
| from the Spanish government for some service
As large q sum as forty thousand dollars is
named. This gentleman, when he was private
secretary to President Pierce, dabbled in the
Nicaragua land and emigration scheme under
Colonel Kinney, aud, therefore, seems to have
taste for such outside specnlations. We do not
charge Mr.. Fish's son-in-law with anything
and he may get forty thousand dollars, or any
other sum, for fees from the Spanish govern
ment In his profession as q lawyer; nos do we
say the Secretary of State has been indirectly
influenced by him. But we state il as a rumor.
and only remark that it seems to BIO curious
circumstance In copnection with the persistent
opposition Of the State Department to the
recognition Of tho Cubans Mr. Fish is
weak. timid man, and no doubt is easily
influenced by those near to him, though he
may be highly honorable and patriotic himself
he is unfit TO handle questions of great
national policy whore comprehensive views
and boldness of action are required, as in this
one concerning Cuba. We hope and believe
the President and Congress will take the
matter out Of his hands The whole civilized
world outside Of Spain looks to the United
States for q solution Of the Cuban difficulty.
Any other great Power with the interests we
have in securing the independence Of Cuba
would have recognized the Cubans long ago.
Over year has passed since that people have
struggled successfully against the power Of
Spain, and they are stronger to-day than ever.
They are entitled to recognition, and 1t would
be an everlasting disgrace to the American
republic if our government should not speedily
recognize them

that this Onondaga statue was intended for a
