days notice; and a. there Is no cal
for further Indebtedness or prospect
that any will be created, there is nc
| immediate necessity for any change
In that part Of our Constitution.
". The Constitution places tht
school funds and lands OF the State
under the control and management
Of the General Assembly. The Law
now provides that the minimum
price Of lands shall be six dollars ar
acre. This law was passed at thu
late session Of the Legislature. Had
| it been enacted fifteen, or ever ter
years ago, IT would have greatly liz,
creased theamount OF our per,nanen:
school fund. But it il too late to
recover what is already lost. Coun-
ties loaning the school fund ought to
be made absolutely responsible for 1t,
principal and interest, but this can
be done by the Legislature Us well as
by q convention.
Y. The Constitution, Art. s, Sec.
2, says "The property Of all corpora
tions for pecun:ary profit, shall be
subject to taxation, the same as that
Of individuals. This il clear, ex-
plicit, and unfnistakabic in IFS pur-
pose and intent. Yet 1t has been
evaded and public sentiment has
yginked az. If it has not openly jnstf-
fed such evasion, because Of the

possible, the advantages Of internal

50 also in relation to the equitable
assessment Of all property, for the
purpose Of taxation, according TO its
real value.
We do not think the reasons urged
by our c6temporary are Of sufficient
weight, when all the circumstances
are considered, 10 Justify the expense
Of a Constitutional Convention. Our
present Constitution IS pretty fair
document. It needs some amend.
and, ia fcw years, may re-
gnire a complete revision. The
General Assembly + authorized to
call Convention, and Viii doubtless
do 80 should there be an urgent
necessity for such action before thn
year 1889, when they will be required
to again submit the question TO the
people. We intend to vote "Against
a Convention to revise the Constitn-
ton aii1 amend the same;' and We
advise our readers 70 vote as we dc
on this guestiOn.---llaUheye.

Vice President GOlGa

In recent speech at J4igonier, Indi-
aua, made soine telling points, rs he
usually does. He spoke OF the pride
in being Republican, the advan-
tages ri the government, and Of the
manner il was sustained in its dark
hours, and of tic ticket, the men
upon which are symbols Of The prin-
cipIcs which they represent. The
Republican ticket means economy
and faithful execution of the laws;
freedom to all homes for the home
less, etc; but any other ticket means
nothing. He had been slurred by
the Democrats for his public speak
ing, but he Is still citizen, and had
the right Of ~ citizen 10 speak. lie
pronounced euiogy u.oon Congress
man Williams, for his steadfastness
TO the principles to which he was
pledged, both in Congress and out.
Democrats at New Albany had asked
him not to reproach them with
johnson, because they did not elect
him, which was true; but Democrats
scduced Al. from theway he should
go, then fathered him, and so they
are responsible for his acts.
During the first eighteen months
OF Grants administration, some
ninety-fve millions had been collect
ed In excess Of the last eighteen
months Of Johnson, and to this fact
the Democracy makes no allusion,
while they distort the expenses.
Democrats on the stump talk against
taxation because 1t is popular, but in
Congress they vote solid against q
reduction of taxes. AT the present
rate of retrenchment, taxation will
be entirely voluntary, because OF
being confined to spirits and tobacco,
and every drink Of whisky that went
down a mans throat was contribu-
ton toward wiping out the Public
Debt. Gen. Grant and himself were
trying to smoke some Of 1t out, and,
as to the value of smoking, Grant
smoked out Nicksburg, Richmond
and Petersburg, Appomattox Court
House, and one hundred millions of
tho National Debt. Did ever a
Democratic speaker or paper speak
of those who loaned money to the
government in the hour of her trial
to put guns in the hands Of our SOL
diers, to bury our dead in the nation
al cemeteries, and carry on the war,
butinterms of the hitterest invective
as swindlers and scoundrels?
Mr.. Colfax then spoke of the sacred
duty of the Government to keep its
obligations inviolate, for which he
was loudly cheered. He then CONF
pared the currency under the good
old Democratic rule, such as stump
tail, red dog and wild cat to green
backs and national bank bills under
Republican rule, as . retaliation Of
the Democratic charge that Repabl-

al Convention.

1uTss VI jtbE Idifi1g tHht We iidSG
noticed, are out in favor Of Congen-
ton 10 revise our State Constitution. !
The Davenport Gaeette, which has
taken the lead on that eide Of the
question, sums up its reasons az
follows;
81. TIE exclusion Of the judiciary
from the area Of party politics, by
making iudge-silips life tenure up
10 a limited agc---say sixty-ijve years
and Requiring appointment BY the
Governor, viii advice ADD consent
of tie General Assembly, instead Of
clecting by popular vote.
2. an express provision Of consti-
tutional law altogether prohibitory,
or explicitly defining and restricting,
corporate subscriptions and popular
votes Of lands and subsidies in aid Of
railroads, and similar enterprises.
3. Moret&plicit and rigorous reg
uIation Of the power Of the General
assembly IN relation 10 the creation
ofstate Indebtedness.
4. More rigid guardianship over
the State school funds, 80 as TO pre-
vent recurrence Of losses those funds
now suffer.
8. Equitable provisions inrclation
10 the assessment Of all property
within the State for the purpose Of
taxation the property Of corpora.
tions no less than Of private citizens
/. The experience Of the Nation
with It's supreme Court, made up on
the pritciplesuggcsted blythe Ga-ette,
does not justify the hope that State
court thus organized would be re-
moved from the "area Of party poll
tics" No judicial body, no matter
how constructed, ever meddled more
extensively with party politics than
has the Supreme Court Of the United
States, whose members have life
tenure Of Office. 1t Is not at all cer-
tain that a Convention, IL called,
would adopt this principle; and, If it
did, the people would be very apt to
repndiate its action. They still con-
slider themselves competent tochoose
their own officers, judges as well as
governors, and are not likely to
transfer the power to anybody else.
II. The second suggestion Of the
Cttxette is Of more Importance. But
there is a wide diversity Of opinion
on the subject in the older and newer
