r,or anoc;ol md local legislation, much OF
which il interdcted absolutely, and the rest
AZ restricted rs to prevent the recurrence Oh
the most glaring abuses, Will nave III eA0o'-
lent effect in aboishing the ioDoy huisan'o
and removing fruitful source OF corrup'io"
aad crime. Biennial sessions OF the Lesps',,
ture and prohibition of special legislation WIN
do moro for the extirpaton OF the loboy thun
all the laws that could be passed upon inc
subject. ,,o
A blow at basty and ill-cOnsidered legisla-
ton Ia struck in the article which requires
every bill to DO read on three different DAYS
before its final passage, the vote to DC taken
on the last by yeas and nays, to be recorueu
on the journal, and majority-not OF u Quorum
but of all the members, to be required Tor ''S
passace. Ovcr-legisatiOn and hasty Legislation
are tho banc of the country. This provision
oucbt TO- be effective against both. 1t would
be well il every State had just such Oohs'i-
tutional provision. Legislatures wouiu DC more
likely to understand what they are ABOUT anu
it would not be so easy to put through
miscellaneous enactmonts. The changes IN thc
article regulating the Judiciary continue tne
elective system but increase the term OF the
Supreme Court judges to twcnty-one ins'eau
of Fifteen wears. do away with the aldermanlc
system IN Philadelphia, and, under certain
conditions, provide for minority representa-
ton in the vote. The pard0uing power, when
has been so shamefully abused for poiltlcai
purposes. is vested in Board OF Pardons,
consisting of the Governor and four state
officers.
An experiment which, if the Constitution
sbouh be adopted, will be watched with
moro interest than perhaps any other Is tnaV
in relation to the suffrage, in the reguiatloh
of which several reforms are proDosed, thiS
ono being to prevent stuffinS baiot-DoNes'
To do this it is required that baiio1S NC
numbered in the order in which they arc re-
ceiyed, and the number recorded opposite the
name of the elector casting the same. Each
elcctor has the right, in addition, to write
his name on the back of his ballot,
or have it written thereon for him.
II is provided, Also that whosocver shall attempt
to influence an electOr by corrupt means shall
himself forfeit the right Of suffrage; and also,
that any candidate who may be guilty of fraud
on the election law shall be forever disqualified
from any Office of trust or profit. The practical
operation of such provision will have an in
terest for honest citizens who have for long
time viewed with alarm the cOrruptions of the
ballOt-bOx
The instrument az a whole is worthy the
support of good and honest men Of all parties.
In many OF it's features it is experimental,
but its object in every case seems to be to
remedy abuses and establish improvements
It does not meet the views of the political
rings, but it is in the interest of good govern
ment, and ought to be ratified.

TIE PENNSYLVANIA CONSTITUTIONS.

The new Constitution for Pennsylvania to
be submitted to the people ct q special cleo
ton on the 10th of December, proposes some
very radical changes. The Convention which
perfected it, closing its sessions list Monday,
has performed its work conscientiously and
faithfully, and has endeavored to produce an
instrument in which the rights and Liberties
of the people shall be carefully guarded, and
the most glaring abuses OF the old system
remcdied. The most important provisions are
those which aim to prevent special and
local legislation, those which are direct
cd against the growth OF great mo-
nopoles, and the changes in elections,
official tenure, oaths of Office, &C., intended to
prevent political corruption. 1t is possible
that some of the prohibitOry clauses In the
act will be found upon trial to be too sweep
ing in their operation and to defeat themselves
in consequence. but there is no doubt they
express public sentiment upon the subjects
treated. The provisions of the article respect
ing Railroads and Canals, for instance. cover
ground never before touched in an organic
act, going largely into details ID regulating
freight charges, prohibiting the acquisition of
lands not necessary to tho business of
COInuOH hCO pdSSCS,
requiring that no officer of railroad or
canal company shall furnish materials or sup
plies for such company, &c.-Drovisions of a
specific character which have not heretofore
been incorporated in the fundamental law
That they are intended to furnish remedies
for existing abuses cannot be denied. and they
are doubtless demanded by popular sentiment
Whether or not they will prove practical and
answer the expectations of the authors is a
question, tho solution of which will be
watched with interest by other States.
The change in the time OF holding elections
from October to November, 80 that in a Presi-
dental year the whole force Of both parties
and all the machinery of corruption and fraud
shall not be brought to bear upon the State
in October, in order to secure its prestige and
effect upon the general election the following
month, is. wise one, that has been urged
heretofore by THE TRIBUNE. so also are the
provision, increasing the number of Sem
ators and members of the House-fx-
ing salary and mileage and forbtiding
their increase during the term for which men,
beers are sitting, and making the sessions of
the Legislature biennial instead Of annual
These changes are all in tho interest of pure
politics and less legislation. The limitation

rency OF the island is deprecated in comparison
with that of the rest OF the world. Now, the
directors of the Bank of England are, from
the nature and magnitude of the great establish
ment which they control, vested with power to
increase or diminish the value of money,
to raise or lower the rate Of interest, to foster
or discourage speculative enterprises, and' IN
some degree. even to change the prices OF
commodities. Such power as this the present
Administration of our Government has essayeu
TO build up for itself, and, unfortunately, It
has in a great measure succeeded. The Board
of Directors of tho Bank Of England regulate
the value of money, and are the Senate Oh inc
British financial world. That intense conserya-
tism anu appearance OF solidity. with which
the English understand 30 well tho art OF IN
vesting their institutions, exist III all their per
fection about the Directors OF the Bank Ihcy
net upon nothing but what they consider the
established principles Of sound financial doc
trino Since power must exist in some shape
and be exercised by somebody, 1t is prefera-
ble in our opinion, that the regulation OF the
currency should be vested in board of con-
servative merchants, like the Directors OF the
Bank of England, rather than in unearned
anu inexperienced pO!lIlcidns VI tnc VVo Pi0-
dominant of late years in the United States.
The suspension Of tho Bank Act. OF which
so muci his lately b,e, said, is simply an
extra-lcgal permission given by the Ministry
to the Bank in time of panic to Issue us
notes against securities. BY the Act o. 1914
the issue of notes, unprotected by an equal
amount of coin and bullion actually in the
vaults of the Bank, is confined to seventy
five million dollars. A suspension OF the Bank
Act is, then. an authorization to transfer So
curities from the Blinking to tho Issue de-
partDent. and make notes against them TO
such an amount as the necessities of the Bank
ing department may require. The amount thus
issued has never been large. The operation
has no effect on the convertibiliCy OF the
notes, and the additional notes are almost
Immediately withdrawn. There is no reason
to think that the emergency which JustihcS
a suspension of the Bank Act is at all imml-
ncnt, since at the last accounts there were
about forty millions in notes and coin IN the
till of the Banking department.

On tho second and third pages of THE
TRIBUNE to-day We print full and careful
statement of the condition of business i'll a
great number of localities in the Northern and
Middle States. The variety of trade interests
reported upon and the thoroughness with
which the reports have been made up com
mend them to the serious attention of the
reader. The conclusion to which one must
arrive, after q pcrusal of these letters and
papers, is that the condition of the country is
improving rather than otherwise. Here and
there some distress is imminent; and in not
a few places, the Winter prospect is gloomy.
But it is evident that the effects of the pros
tration of business have been exaggerated.
Indeed, how far the fears of those most likely
to be affected have served to deepen the de-
preston, we can only guess Oar correspond
ence shows that there is much apprehension
and very little distress. Operatives in New
England manufacturing towns are most likely
to suffer from coming hard times. Westward,
the pressure grows lighter; and the great
mining and iron-working districts of Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania withstand the panic
much more cheerfully than possibly could
have been expected.

Although the amount raised for the sufferers
at Memphis. at the late election in this city,
was not so large as might have been expected,
the result amply justiGes the wisdom of the
original suggestion. The total sum collected
through the contributions at the polls
was s,4,63s 80, which has been increased to
$5,875 n by liberal gift from the police force.
This figure represents the gifts of the mass OF
the people, and will be specially welcome to
the helpless and needy of Memphis.
