CONSTT7U 7UTTONAL REVISION

CONSTIT UTIONAL REVISION.
The demand for a thorough overhauling of
the Constitution of Pennsylvania has
assumed such an imperative and universal
character, that the Legislature which COM
menced its sessions a few days ago can
scarcely have the hardihood to ignore or re-
sist it. The people of the entire State, with
out regard to party affiliations, expect our
legislators to authorize the calling of a con-
vention for revising the Constitution of the
State, and the Senators and Representatives
who have the hardihood to vote against the
measure will scarcely anticipate a re- election.
But the necessity for a constitutional
revision which has at last become imperative
has long existed, and convention should
have been called several years ago. 1t will
be well, therefore, for the new Constitution
when finally framed, to contain clause re-
quiring the people to vote upon the question
of constitutional reform at stated periods,
say once in fifteen or twenty years, to avoid
the recurrence of another disastrous delay on
the part of legislators who may chance to
misrepresent their constituents. There is
such provision in the Constitution of New
York, and last year convention was called
in pursuance of its requirements. The Con-
stitution of Ohio contains similar clause
aud at the election next fall the people Of
that State will be called upon to decid Q
whether they are satisfied with their
Constitution as it is or not, without any
legislative action on the subject When
convention is finally assembled in this State,
and the task of framing new constitution is
under way, care should be taken to include
in it a provision for submitting to popular
vote at seasonable periods the question of
reform of the fundamental law of the Com
monwealth "The Constitution as it is, is
cry that deserves no better response when
applied to State than when applied to the
whole country. Constitutional reform be-
comes periodically necessary, and no amount
of wisdom or foresight can be expected to
render it unnecessary for many years in sue
cession. The people, therefore, should be
at liberty to make known their desires with
out depending upon modern Legislators for
the opportunity.

The CIvIL CoDE COMMISSIONERS appointed
TO revise and codify the civil laws of Penn
sylvsnia have nearly finished their labors. 1t
is said they have boiled down 1900 pages of
''Purdon's Digestl to a 800 page volume,
and made mysterious and conflicting mass
of legislation plain to the common under
standing This is useful and creditable work,
but we believe the commissioners have also
attempted much more imposing and inn
portant task, by interjecting new matter,
which virtually embodies new statutes, in
their book; and the Legislature had better
look very carefully into these changes before
it adopts them. The public should remember
that it is not mer ely condensation of their
old laws that is coming up for consideration,
but civil code substantially new in some inn
portant particulars.

HE PRACTICAL RESULT of the protective
duties on pig iron which, after being in ope-
ration for some years, were reduced on the
first of January, was that the product of the
United States was doubled, while the price
was reduced nearly one-half; or, in round
figures, the product increased from nine hun
dred thousand tons per annum to two mil
lions of tons, while the price fell from more
than fifty dollars per ton to less than thirty
dollars per ton. A striking new illustration
was thus given of the old truth that steady
protective duties on articles which can readily
be produced on large scale in this country
not only add to the national wealth by
rendering home resources available, but also
lower prices to the consumer. The home
competition engendered furnishes far better
safeguard for the interests of consumers than
an uncertain, unreliable, and fuctuatine
foreign supply which may at one time be
dirt cheap and at another monstrously dear.
Pennsylvania, as the leading iron State, has
been subjected to much obloquy for her per-
sistent advocacy of higher duties on iron;
but the results show that, even if her under
lying motive is selfish her favorite tariff
policy has redounded to the welfare of the
whole Union.

plan OF forming paper company. The iling
of the articles Of association was duly attend

over $4,000 subscribed, and the old Touring
mill In tho village purchased for the site. At
this point, second company was formed and
articles of association filed, and the old Tan
merry site, just off the ridge road, mile or 50
west of the village, purchased The cost Of
this was only $500, while the mill property

a citizen of Painesville, that lie had taken ac-

filing of as many articles of associations for
railroad companies in that place. How many
