The Missouri constitutional eonyen-
ton has adjourned, and the result OF It's
labors will soon be submitted TO the
people lor ratification. The character OF
the convention considered, the new constitu-
tion i said to be far better than one had
right to expect. 1t is very remarkable IN
strumcnt. going far beyond any state con
s,itution at present in force, in its restrie-
tons upon the powers of the legislature and
the state officials. The provisions relative
to legislation. which secure dellberation and
prevent the omnibus triekery now 50 com
mon in Congress and many state legisla-
lures, are admirable. From the lntrodnc-
ton Of a bill to its final authorization,
each step is guarded by publicity and de-
liberation. Each bill must be read on three
different DAYS, in each house and the rule
cannot he suspended. Every amendment
must he incorporated with the bill, and the
bill thus amended printed before final action.
Among the features of the new constltu-
ton is one which Is very opportune IN these
timts 1t makes il = crime for banker
10 create q debt or receive DEPOSITS when he
knows his bank to be insolyent or in failing
circumstances. Another provides that when
county contains a city of thousand IN
habitan,s. the city and the county govern
ment, shall be consolidated. The legislature
viii hold sessions but once in two years. The
Governor. term i extended 10 tour years.
Special legislation Is prohibited. Members
viii receive 81 rer day for 70 days, and only
81 per day thereafter. The granting OF
state or Of municipal aid to any company or
corporation i prohibited. The public
school, are TO be remembered in bountiiul
appropriations. No county, township, city
town or school district Is permitted to create
debt that shall exceed in any one year the
revenue lo- such year, unless by two-thlrd
majority vote and then the Indebtedness
shal! not exceed five per cent. OF the taxable
property. except for building court house
or q jail.
1t will be seen from tine abstract Of these
few provisions that the new constitution Is
particularly guarded against afordins cor
ruptionis,> any advantages. lr i thought
the vote on it, adoption viii be overwhe-m-
incly large il is favor.

A SANDER Stopped

A month or more ago, the Montpelier
ARGUS and Patriot published a letter from
Fairhayen, VT, the anonymous winter Oh
which. after abiding to a current story ihal
ex-Gov. John B. Page had discharged n
Democrat from the employ Of the railroad
because he voted for whom he thought best,
went on to say
Many who are Of the opinion that Uo'-
eruor Page was not worth more than Ten
Thousand dollars when he was elected state
Treasurer, are suspicious that he has got
wealthy somewhat faster than the rules oil
Christian honesty would Justify lie tins Is
II NAV. where there is 50 much smoke there
i good reason to believe there Is IRE and
the underfone talk. among many oil the leau-
ing men Of the State, has made IL appear
something more than an idle rumor tna'
Treasurer John A Page has found that ms
predecessor in Office has never accounted ior
some f,ro hundred and .ffty thousand dof'ars
of interest money when John B. Page was
State Treasurer, during the years OF the
war, when large sums OF money came ih'o
his hands.
Soon after the appearance OF this le''er'
the editor of the Argas was addressed by
GOV. Pages lawyers, Messrs. Prout' Slmons
and Walker, in regard to the authorship oil
the letter. to whom lie replied
=. Men who write such things ought not
u do ii. except they know what they write
of. They must not expect me to stand IN
the gap Tor them. That article was sent
me by .John Cam, who has since written me he
was the author, and says he based 1t on
information derived from Poland, Oh the
W-afclnian. and Rev. DR.. Lord
In other letters, in an endeavor to la-iiy
the publication Of the Fairhaven Letter
Mr.. Atkins said
Rev. DR.. Lord has talked it freely, and
also that j. N. Poland told Rutland gen
tleman that the Doctor (Lordl was writing
an article on the subject which he would
soon publish" And again. further, that
John a. Page had also talked quite
freely about that interest matter.

his LAWYERS, Gov. Page addressed the fol-
lowing letter to Treasurer John \ Page
