Revision Of the Constitution of illinois,
Oliver Asking for More.

Revision Of the Constitution OF illinois,
Oliver Asking for More.
The Chicago Republican supposes it may be
considered settled, Notwithstanding Judge
Woodsons resolution of inquiry whether the
people of Illinois really voted to call conven-
tion to amend the constitution of the State, that
the present Legislature will call convention
for the purpose. A new constitution for the
State OF Illinois! That is decidedly rich.
What does Illinois want with new constitu-
tion? She had the late President ofthe United
States Q4incoln) elected by the people for two
terms. She has the present President elect
Grant, and all tae powers of the incoming
administration are supposed to rest in the Illi-
nois magnates in Congress, big and little. Illi-
nois will have had the possession of the govern
ment for twelve consecutive years when Grants
first term expires in 1928, and it cannot be
predicted what will follow 'safter Grant" A
sister State Of Illinois (Indiana) has the Vice
President elect (Colfax), and the present pre-
siding officer of the Senate (Wade) is from
Ohio, all on the same Western political and
social broad gauge, like the Illinois and Indi-
ana laws Of divorce. What does Illinois want
next? She has done very well under the pre-
sent constitution. Under a new one her prestige
may be smashed up and her Oliver ask for
more in vain.

the following: people living on the
Mason hills are rapidly regaining the inde-

while the fleets had been recreated and the
fortihcations at all important points were In
good condition. He utters the remarkable
expression, ''The imperial wish was realized
that France was 80 placed as to vindicate her
status in the destinies of the world Peace
had been sought not because of'weakness, but
to sustain the honor Of the State, which, in
other words, means that France is ready for an
appeal to arms when an emergency shall arise
to require her to do 30. In regard to Spain, the
Emperor AYERS that the revolution there had
oot altered the good relations Of France with
that country. This is brief and to the point,
but some curiosity might be excited in regard
to what those good relations" were before the
overthrow Of Queen Isabella and how they
can be reconciled with the present condition OF
things. The conclusions Of the late Confer
cnce, the Emperor declares, extinguished
conflict which had become imminent,
and principle had boen established
calculated to restore friendship between
Turkey and Greece. II these hopes should
be realized nothing would be left to
trouble the general harmony of the nations.
The Emperor concludes with the usual amount
of congratulation, in which the honor and
glory of France are held to be the loftiest Of
his aspirations. On the whole the speech may
be considered pacifcatory in tone, although
the vigor with which tie Emperor refers to the
armament of the nation indicates that France
is prepared for war at any moment should her
honor demand it.
