THE NEW CONSTITUTION

Tomorrow the people will be called
upon 10 vote upon the New Constitution.
The weather has been so warm for II week
past tina, we fear people have given the
question but comparatively little attention,
and may let the day Of election pass by un-
improved.
Let US enumeraica few Of the reasons
why the new Constitution should be
adopted ist, The new Constitution has
cost the people Of Illinois nearly 100000
70 produce it, including all the incidental
expenses Of reporting, printing and publish
ing; and If il is rejected ii will probably
be a quarter Of n century before the peo-
pie venture upon another experiment Of
constitution making. II occupied for
nearly six months, the time and thoughts
of Us able and fair minded body of men
as ever assembled 10 form State Cons,i-
tuition, and il II is rejected, whore and
when will more competent, talented or
discreet house Of delegates be selected to
frame another.
2. From Maine 10 California the press
and politicians Of other States are prais-
ing the new Consultation Of Illinois II. u
model instrument, and express great SUR
prise that any right-mnded citizen of this
State should think Of opposing it.
3. The old Constitution is admitted on
all sides 10 be the worst Constitution now
in existence. No State in the Union could
be Induced TO exchange Constitutions with
Illinois. Ii is II miserable contriyance, ut
terly unsuited to the existing wants Of the
State. And Governor Palmer declares it
really amounts 10 no Constitution at all,
as 1t is violated with impunity by the Leg
islature, and trampled under foot with con-
tempt by the lobby. The responsibility
for vicious legislation cannot be fixed upon
any department ofthe State government.
4. The new Constitution secures the
adjustment Of the t0o mill tax which is
no longer needed TO pay of the State debt.
Unless it is adopted, this tax, which
amounts TO II million u year, will be col
lected for six years longer, and the money
will be piled up idle in the Treasurers's
Office in vast sums, or be sdrreptitiously
loaned out to spectators ON private nc
count. Atwo-mill tax is 81 on each 81 900
worth Of taxable property. Every man
can save two dollars per annum on every
thousand dollars he is worth by voting to
repeal this useless burden. Is that not
something worth looking after? How can
any,,voter make money faster for five or
fifteen minutes work, than by going to the
polls and voting to abolish this tax?
8. The Supreme Court from three over
worked Judges TO seven, will be worth
hundreds of thousands per annum to suit
prs In dispatch Of business and saving Of
posts. The reinforcement of three judges
. the courts Of this country, now over
whelmned and deluged with cases await
ns trial, will be worth every year to the
pooplo Of the State more than it cost
oEtAme the new Constitution. This relief

NOUS Kentucky Devotee Of the
.l'Ode."

George Allied Townsend in the Chicago Tribune
"Did you cyer,,hear of Tom HawkinsW
said man of politics to me yesterday.
Tom Hawkins is the greatest duelist in
Kentucky, lie is now Governor Steven
sons tobacco inspector at Louisvlle-a
handsome man, with n black moustache
and large, glaring black eyes, which sci.
dom or never wink, but look out like
tigers, with silent ferocity. He is, per-

Of the best shots in Kentucky, and he has
fixed up more quarrels, and been

man alive. Personally, he is II
gentle, truthful, faithful fellow, but
he is deadly when he has made up his mind
TO eat somebody, Tom is one of the best
fellows of his class, the finished duelist of
the South, always nice upon points of
honor and prompt to advise anybody to
fight whom he thinks has been injured.
His last appearance in proximity to the
field Of honor was occasioned by mootcd
duel between two Cincinnati editors, which
never came TO shot. People who know
him, send for Tom in case of duel, Just

the ILLINOIS CENTRAL SECTION

The section of the new constitution that
provides that seven per cent, of the gross
earnings Of the Illinois Central railroad
company, shall remain In the State
treasury, n fund to be applied only TO the
expenses of the State government, should
be voted down.
When the business Of the Illinois Gem
trail shall have been doubled the seven per
cent. in question will provide for the en-
tire expenses of the State government
Thrcc.fourths of the earnings Of the road
are from the thiriy-ilve counties traversed
by IT, and as the company must, IN the
regulation of her charges, provide for this
seven per cent. us well as her other ex-
penses, it necessarily follows that three
fourths of the entire sum paid into the
treasury, is exacted from the people OF
these thirty-fve counties In other words,
the time is near at hand, when the business
of the counties along the line Of the Hi
nois Central will be taxed with threc-fourth
the expense of running the state govern
ment, while the "through business of the
road will pay the other fourth.
1t may be said that If the Illinois Cen
trail company were released from the pay
ment II this seven per cent, they would
no, correspondingly lessen their tariff OF
charges, but put the sum in their own cof-
fors, instead Of paying 1t
into the State treasury.
This might prove true; but the opponents
Of the section in question do not propose
to release the company. They only ask
that the thirty-fve counties whose
business is, in the future, TO be taxed with
the expenses Of the State government, be
placed upon an equal footing with the
other counties of the State. They ask that
so much Of the seven per cent, derived
from their own business rs is necessary To
pay their proportion Of the expenses OF
the government, be paid into the State
treasury, and that the balcncc be
returned TO the county treasury, where !,
may belong. The amount paid can readily
be determined, and hence our suggestion
is not only feasible but just. But should
the railroad company be held TO the pres.
cnt arrangement, by constitutional pro.
vision, the great burden of which We
complain will be saddled upon us for years
