1t is not unlikely, however, that the people

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

THE CONSTITU TIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Mr.. L. Bradford Prince, one of the most
energetic and faithful of the men who have,
of late years, been sent to Albany, has written
a pamphlet explanatory of the Constitutional
Amendments, which ought to be in the hands OF
every voter. Mr.. Prince renders the subject both
interesting and instructive. AS our readers well
know the last two Legislatures mangled the
work of the Constitutional Commission most
outrageously and it is maintained by many
lawyers that they destroyed it. This, OF
course, will be matter to be decided by the
courts, should what is left of the amendments
be accepted by the people.
However that question may be settled, the
amendments which have survived the by no
means friendly action of two distinct Legsla-
lures contain much that is valuable. The sale
of tho lateral canals, which is permitted by
the amendments, would take from the tax
payers of the State q burden equivalent to
more than ten million dollars of permanent
debt. Under the present provisions of the
Constitution these almost useless waterways
are net which no action of the Legislature
can prevent from being dragged through the
canal revenues every year, leaving nothing
There may be some local opposition to the
sale of these canals which the politicians are
afraid of, but if Granger movement is
anywhere justifable it is called for to put
an end to this wicked waste of public
money in maintaining the Chenango, Chemung,
Crooked Lake, and Genesee Valley canals.
These are not the times when the people can
patiently see taxes imposed for such purposes.
Another point which we suppose will be
made against the amendments is that they
increase the pay of members of the Legisla-
ture from $500 to $500 per session. The two
Conventions have shirked the amendments be-
cause they dread, on the one hand the canal
contractors, who will have from 100000 to
81, 900 900 less money to draw from the treas
ury for keeping up some useless bitches, and
on the other because they think the people
will object to raising $4,000 year in order
that members of the Legislature may be able
to live on their salaries. Such are the
motives which influence the action of
those who run conventions and COM
pose those astonishing literary efforts called
platforms. The provisions against bribery,
against special legislation (what is left of
them, against the abuse of sinking funds,
against officers of city governments sitting at
the same time as legislators. in favor of a
term of three years for the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, in favor of the power to
veto parts of appropriation bills, and of re-
spectacle compensation for the executive
officers and against the reckless accumulation
of debt by towns, cities, and counties, all
seem to us unexceptionable. We hope they
may be ratified by the people.

MR.. SCHUBZ ON TIE LOUISIANA CASE
The distinguished Senator from Missouri
always talks sound sense. and his advice TO
the people of Louisiana is the most judlclous
counsel any friend has yet given them. SEN
ator Scburz treats the history of the present
disorders in their State with entire impair
TALLY. While he denOunces with becoming
indignation the Overturning OF the legitimate
State government by Federal interference in
1872. he passes an equal censure upon the vlo-
lence, lawlessness, and race prejudices OF the
Southern white leaders, and warns them that
they need not expect justice for themselves
until they are prepared to render 1t freely to
their colored brethren. Disband your White
Leagues, he says; for every organization
based upon distinction of color Is not only
wrong in itself, but harmful to both races.
Let the negro feel that he has an
active protector in every good citizen.
Let honest men of both colors feel that they
can act together in Kidding the State alike OF
the adventures and thieves who disgrace Its
notifies and the ruflans who disturb its peace.
Then Louisiana may begin to rebuild Its ruined
fortunes.
This is substantially the same advice
which THE TRIBUNE has steadily given
to the South during these terrible troubles,
and we are every dly more and more
thoroughly convinced OF its soundness. But
what are the Conservatives of Louisiana to DO
in the emergency of the election now at hand
II is well known that Mr.. Kellogg has ar
ranged the registration system in such way
that an honest poll of the Votes is morally
impossible and the success OF the Al
mnistration party is assured in advance
Shall the Democrats attempt hope
less resistance, or refuse to vote at all,
and trust Congress to relieve them next
Winter7 1t seems to us that the more pru-
dent course will be to make the best fight they
can. and collect evidence to be used In sub
seouent contest of the returns. Ii one-halt
that is told of the operations of the new Kel-
logg law is true, it will be easy to prove to
an impartial Committee of Congress that the
whole proceeding has been a farce and a
fraud, and there is at least chance that the
members returned under it may be unseated.
The House of Representatives will have to
mass upon the credentials of the persons pur-
porting to have been elected in November,
and the Senate has still to decide upon the
validity of the Kellogg and McEnery Leglsla-
lures, each of which has claimant for Sena-
torial honors knocking at the door OF the
north wing of the Capitol. Thus the whole
question of the Kellogg usurpation may be
reopened, and we are not without strong hope
that it may be settled in accordance with
what the whole country knows to be justice.

than those of sailors who are supposed, according
to the popular notion, to spend their whole time in
talking to the marines. This one is about Chicago

the absence of documentary evidence This youth
made raid on an open safe. and ran away with a
roll which turned out to contain large amount in
Five-Twenty bonds II was found that the boy
lived with his mother in a shanty on the outskirts
of the city, and the detective, repairing thither
tered aud behed its walls the most extraordinary
and most valuable wall paper on which his sharp
eyes had ever rested The missing bonds had been
neatly pasted on tho WALL nicely matched aud
Joined. BY considerable mostening pulling, and
profanity they finally came of with a layer OF
whitewash adhering to them. We regret to say
that the boy was arrested and punished He should
have been allowed to keep tho bonds for his igno-
rance if not for his honesty.

who assembled Syracuse last week entirely Ignored

their speeches at the Convention am at loss to I'M

the great haste OF the delegates to take possession OF

The Emperor of Russia has gone beyond
the limits of formality in writing a cordial
and sympathetic letter to Don Carlos. In the
ordinary course of affairs, presuming Germany
and Russia to be on terms of very warm
friendship, the refusal of Russia to accede to
the proposals for recognizing Spain should
have ended the discussion. An immediate
expression of sympathy with the Carlists is
very likely to place the Car on cooler foot
ing with the German Emperor, and for this
reason among others the letter has peculiar
significance.

enemies. The latest evidence of this is az
forded by the attack on Andorra. The French
Government exercises a protectorate over the
Republic of Andorra, and any invasion OF
this territory by the Carlists places them In
direct antagonism to France. The govern
ment of President MacMahon has hitherto
confined itself to OBTAINING military supplies
at the frontier; but, if it chooses to resent
this last want of respect for neutral rights 1t
must adopt much more energetic measures.

to the views of Sir Charles Dixie is in strik-

The discussion respecting vivisection is fur
Their advanced by letter from Mr.. Bergh
which we print this morning. He meets the
arguments adduced In favor of the practice
by a square denial of their assumptions, and
cites authorities to show that in none of the
instances adduced has vivisection added ma
terially to the knowledge or welfare of the
human race. 1t is upon these grounds and
these alone that the case must be tried before
the bar of public opinion. Even if it be true
that the. sufferings inflicted upon animals in
the cause of science are far less than Mr..
Bergh alleges, the practice cannot be justified
if it is needless. 1t is now incumbent upon
the defenders of vivisection to prove its
unquestonable usefulness. Mr.. Bergh makes
a strong appeal to the feelings which does
credit to his kindness of heart, but is not
really material to the argument.

How to Make an Orchard.

In commencing to make an orchard
bear in mind that it is not for day or q
year, but for lifetime, and if we make
mistakes it may take years to find them
out and many years more to correct them.
We should, therefore, consider carefully
what we will plant, and where and how
We will plant to bring the best returns.
A small orchard well tended is worth
more than large one that is neglected,
and no one should plant more than he can
care for. .0.
Select, if possible, the highest ground
on the farm for your orchard site and have
! it naturally or artificially drained so that
water will never stand about the roots.
The soil should be well prepared by a
thorough and deep blowing the fall be-.
fore planting.
Having the ground selected and pre-
pared for the orchard, 20 to the nearest
reliable nursery and get the trees fresh
from the ground. If notconvenient to 60
to the nursery, make up club with your
neighbors, and select the trees or send
your order to some reliable man. If you
cannot find any better way to get your
trees buy of a peddler rather than go
without though it is much The better way
to buy direct from the man who grows
them.
Do not expose the roots to sun or air,
and as soon as you get them bury them
in moist earth, taking out only as wanted
for planting. Never dig large, deep holes
for water to stand in under the trees, but
hayethe ground all we'll worked. Throw
out enough earth to give the roots ample
room to set your trees in and fill up care
fully with fine mellow earth, pressing il
firmly about the roots. The planting
should be done when the ground is in
good order for working and not too wet;
If dry, water when the earth is nearly
filed in, and then fill up with dry earth
to prevent baking.
On good soil, not too light but we'll
drained, plant two or three inches deeper
than the trees grew in the nursery. If
the soil is tenacious and not well drained
plant almost on top and ridge up to them,
leaving dead burrows for drains between
the rows, and raise the earth about the
trees three or four inches, so they will
stand deeper than they grew.
In light, sandy, well-drained soil
plant five to six in shes deeper than the
trees grew. 4@ -...s
My experience teaches me that the best
time to plant Is in the spring before the
growth starts, but it will do to plant until
the buds are fairly opened. -Kansas
