Constitutional RpTorm.

SVhstttutiVhhA htfui NE
We believe this to be the most impor-
tant measure before the present Legis.
lature, yet singularly enough it seems
to attract but little attention. The peo.
pie by an almost unanimous vote de-
manded that convention should be
held yet an unsympathetic Legislature
proposes first to make il partisan
body and secondly to delay its meeting
as long as possible.
The House bill as reported by the
committee provided for the election of
80 delegates; two from each Senatorial
District and 33 at large; no elector to
vote for more than lS. This proposition
was amended by speaker Elliott so es
to elect 1873 members, ss Senators and
members are now elected.
Mr.. White, of Allegheny proposes
as substitute for both bills, that the
convention shall consist of 80 members,
66 Of whom shall be elected from Sena.
torial Districts, each party to vote for
one in each single district. The result
would be that each party would be
equally represented in each Senatorial
District. The remaining SO would be
elected at large, no person to vote for
more than IS. As result the success
ful party in the State would only have
three majority; enough for all practical
purposes.
The Elliott bill not only gives large
Republican majority in the convention,
but it enables pot house politicians and
men of small calibre TO secure seats in
it. 1t would simply be joint session
of men of the same status as those who
constitute our present legislature
here and there good man, but not
strong enough to control measures or
stem corruption. We know in advance
that constitution framed by such men
will be weak and will undoubtedly be
repudiated by the people.
In Illinois the Constitutional Conven.
tion was successful because the minor.
ity had full representation, and that
principle was embodied in their funda.
mental law. In New York the minor.
ity only had partial representation and
a bungling constitution was the result
Singularly enough the only portion o.
it ratified was that which applied the
principle of cumulative voting to the
Judges of the Courts of Appeals and il
it had not been for that principle the
Republicans would not have had sim
gle Judge for many years.
The Elliott bill also provides for the
election of delegates at the October elec
tion-in the heat of a partisan conflict,
and would result in securing politician:
instead of statesmen, besides delaying
the meeting of the convention unit
next year.
We had hoped for spirit of fairne9,
in this matter, but confess we see NJ
prospect of getting fair play.

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on SWednesdy Of last
week, Mr.. Sumner again brought for
ward his French fraud resolutions. The
Grant Senators, headed by Sherman, OF
Ohio, were naturally delicate about any
investigation, and endeavored to avoid
it. Mr.. Tipton, Of Nebraska, reminded
them that they had been anxious to
avoid investigation On the New York
Custom House question. In theHouse
several bills were passed for the erection
ofpublic buildings at various places. The
