NEXT TUESDAY.

On next Tuesday the special election
will take place on the adoption or rejection
of the new Constitution. 1t will be day
long to be remembered in the history of
our State, for the reason that the result of
the election then to be held viii be fraught
with immeasurable evil, or incalculable
good. The Constitution of 1890 was the
supreme law of the State for forty-eight
years, and the present, or amended Con-
stitution, bas been in operation since 1888.
That our present Constitution needs re-
form and amendment in many important
particulars, is fact that is not questioned
by any intelligent man of either political
party.
The people now have the work of the
Constitutional Convention before them for
their calm and unbiased judgment and
for their determination at the ballot-box.
That the new instrument is perfect in all
its parts is not claimed by it's most ar
dent and enthusiastic friends, because per-
fection is not an attribute either of the
human intellect or Of human hands. But
that it is vast improvement in most of
it's details upon the present organic law
of the State, is confidently claimed
We trust it has been carefully read and
deliberately pondered on. The question
soon to be determined is, will the people
of the State seize the opportunity now pre-
sented to inaugurate purity in their State
government and honesty in legislation9
That powerful and we'll organized op-
position will be made against the adoption
of the Constitution is manifest, but that it
will succeed against the vigorous and dc
terInined efforts of its friends, we de not
for one moment believe. There is not a
corrupt politician in the State of either
party who will not move heaven and earth
to defeat it. Will the honest and upright
mon of both parties permit this base and
venal element in the politics of the State
to triumph in their infamous designs
a.,ainst the rights of honest voters and
taxpayers
What will DO the position of the friends
OF reform III Cambria county next Tues
day on this great and all-important ques-
ton? We know and feel that the people
of this county are overwhelmingly in favor
of the new Constitution, but will they 60
to the polls and there proclaim by their
ballots the faith that is in them? If for
any reason they should remain Indifferent
if they should sleep supinely upon their
backs while the enemy is at their doors, and
if they will permit themselves to be sur
prised and captured, then let the conse-
quences be justly charged to their own
criminal folly and neglect Democrats and
Republicans of Cambria remember that
on next Tuesday our great and honored
State expects that every true Pennsylva-
nian will do his duty fearlessly, faithfully
and fnlly.

IT is rumored ut last that Minister Sick
les has resigned. We fully agree With the
Harrisburg Patriot in saying that if true
this cannot fail to give entire satisfaction
TO the country. The canse for this step on
the part of the minister is alleged to be a
disagreement between him and the Secre-
:ary of State, who objected to the imPeri-
ous language in which his intercourse with
the Spanish government was couched.
Sickles should have resigned long ago.
His presence in Madrid is almost rs dan
gcrous to the peace of the country as the
conduct of the Peninsulars III Havana.
Besides, as a representative of this govern
ment abroad he reflects no honor on his
country. There is reason to believe that
he has intrigued with the deliberate de-
sign of provoking a war, when ali the de-
mands of this government could be OBJ
tanned without it.

THE friends of the new Constitution are
making a noble and gallant struggle in
favor of its ratification in the Rng-lidden
city of Philadelphia. This has especially
been tho case since the strange aud nm
looked for decision of the Supreme Court,
delivered last Friday, in which it was de-
cided that the action of the convention in
appointing fue Commissioners to revise tho
Registry lists, appoint the Judges and in
spectors, and in all other respects to con-
duct and supervise the election, was an ex-
ercise of power not warranted by the Act
of the Legislature calling the convention,
and therefore void. The effect of this &c
cision will be that the election in that city
will be held by the present Ring election
officers, and it has thoroughly impressed
the decent men of both parties with a full
sense of the danger The friends of re-
form in Philadelphia may therefore be said
to be emphatically aroused, and large and
enthusiastic meetings are being held to
advance the cause of the people against
the schemes of corrupt politicians. These
meetings have been addressed by able and
prominent men of both political parties,
among whom may be mentioned ex-Gover-
nor Curtin, John w. Forney, Col. A. X.
Mcclure, John NJ. Broomall, Republicans,
and ex-Chief Justice Thompson, Geo. w.
Biddle, Richard Vaux, and VIM. A. Stokc9,
Democrats-the last named gentleman
being well known in this county.
The new Constitution will encounter its
greatest danger from the fraudulent appli-
ances of the Philadelphia Ring. Its mas
ters and its tools will resort to all that is
base and fraudulent to defeat it, and the
knowledge of this fact alone should inspire
its friends in other parts of the State TO
battle manfully from now until next Tues
day in it's defence. We have strong hopes
that even in Philadelphia the virtue and
intelligence of the people will achieve a
decided victory next Tuesday in the noble
cause of reform.

One of the best illustrations of what
tack, pluck and energy will do for a man
is given in the history of Samuel Bryan, of
ing of the war as a drummer hoy, being
twenty years old. In a short time he Sc
cured 4 discharge, and iii a little while
thereafter 4 situation as clerk in the Sixth
Auditors office in Washington. Here he
was placed III charge of the British mail
desk. Becoming acquainted with the for
eign mail service, he was struck with the
fact that while Japan had introduced our
internal revenue and agricultural systems,
she had made no effort to establish a pos
tai department. He determined to make
an effort towards doing this himself. He
had an interview with Minister DelOng,
met with encouragement, and finally hay-
ing secured temporary situation on a
steamship plying between San francisco
and Yokohama, left for Japan. He arrived
in the latter city with but twenty-five cents
i'll his pocket, and met with many difficult
ties in his work but finally the govern
meut organized postal bureau and made
ate treaty with the United States, Great
Britain, Francs, and Germany, at Il salary
of 80, 600 per annum, all expenses borne,
and assistants and clerks to help him in his
work. Mr.. Bryan has accomplished his
mission, so far as this country is concerned,
and sailed for HAVE a few days ago
Though not the nominal, he is the real,
head of the postal department for Japan,
and is very naturally and properly elated
with his success.

THE EMBARGo on ISTELLIGENCE.-W
the shameful abuse of the franking sys-
tenn created the necessity of abolishing
privilege, which was originally created for
wise purposes, the members of Congress,
chagIined at the loss of privilege by
which they could lend their signatures to
political parties to load down the mails
with franked documents, or sell engraved
plates of their names to venders OF lottery
tickets and patent medicine nlanufactu-
rers. sought to revenge themselves on the
public and the press by abolishing the free
transmition, by mail, of newspapers in the
counties wherein they are published. This
postage is tritling and difficult to collect,
and is petty annoyance to the patrons of
newspapers, to whom the trouble of nav
ing few cents every three months is great
er than the expense. We are glad. there
fore, to see that ali cady several bills have
been presented in Congress, and viii be
considered at an early date, having in view
the restoration of the free postage privi-
lege in the cases Of newspapers distributed
by mail'through the county in which they
are published. d.-Lancdster I7t6lgigencer.
