Penn.rIrnnIn,s Constitntfon.

Pennsylvania present constitution
is a curious commentary on the abuses
that had grown up under the former
organic law. The people, in adopting
it, undertook to bind themselves and
their representatives TO better behav-
ior in the future. They deliberately
put themselves under general limita-
lions to escape specific temptations.
just as the legislature was prohibited
from passing laws of a certain kind,
Instead of being left free to decide
whether or not specific laws should be
enacted, so municipalities had their
power to create debt limited. There
were very good reasons for the adop-
ton of these restrictive clauses, the
abuses of freedom in the past having
shown them to be necessary, but, like
most other restraints, they at times
prove very inconvenient. Erie
has Just experienced this, now that it
finds itself prohibited from increasing
its debt a little beyond the constitu-
tienal limitation. But the decision of
the supreme court defeating an at
tempt to evade the constitutional pro-
vision will be a good thing for Erie
and other Pennsylvania cities, if it
impresses upon them all the saying of
the court Corporations, like natural
persons, must do without conveniences
when they have not the money to pay
for them An exactly opposite priu-
has been pursued for many
years, no extravaganza being too great
apparently if undertaken with Dor
rOwed money. If this had not been
the case in Philadelphia, as well as in
neither city would have reached
its debt limit so soon, and with so
many "conyeniencies' still unpro-

What One COnuresSman's Vote Is

Washington special to the Cincinnati Com
mercial.l
A report has been received here
that it is the intention of Charles H.
Norhis. member Of congress from the
Fifth New Jersey district, to resign.
He is a banker and has recently be-
come insolvent. He was elected last
fall by a small majority, in a district
that has heretofore been Democratic,
and if he should resign a Democrat
would undoubtedly be elected in his
place. In that event the representa-
ton of New Jersey in congress would
be three Republicans and four Demo-
Gratis. In case the election Of the
next President was thrown into the
house, New Jerseys vote would give
the Democrats a majority of two. As
the States stand now they are a tie,
counting Indiana-in which De La
Matyr has the casting vote-as a
Democratic State. AS Mr.. Vorhis'
vote is a very important one, he will
doubtless be dissuaded from resign
ing.

The Moffet bell punch has gone into

resolved to test the constitutionality
of the law in the courts, but they
have, nevertheless, taken advantage Of
it both to raise the price Of drinks
and to refuse credit for them. The
p%rohibitory sentiment, which is very
strong in parts of Texas, favors the
use of the register, on the ground that
it tends to lessen the consumption of
intoxicating liquors.

Booming of Trade With Brazil,

New York Tribunel
Rumors have prevailed of late that
a suspension Of the United States and
Brazil Steamship line was possible,
and that the steamers were to be sold
because the trade was light. By the
owners of the line it is stated that
these rumors have not the least foun-
dalton, but that, on the contrary, there
is a fair and prosperous trade, with
prospects of an improvement. The
Brazilians have found that the line
has developed much of their trade,
and it is stated that the 100000 an
nual subsidy would be increased by
the imperial government if there were
any fears of a discontinuance of the
line. The freight trade to Brazil is
increasing gradually, although the
recent advance in prices has checked
it to a small extent. Iron exports are
increasing materially, and there is
said to be a demand Tor small machin-
cry, stoves and hardware of all kinds.
John Roach & Sons have laid the
keel of another iron steamship at their
works in Chester, which, it is rumor-
ed, is for this line. The question Of
semi-monthly departures has been
considered.
