THE Louisville Commercial is doing
Herculesn labor in endeavoriag Il
advance the interests Of the State and
to procure the much needed reform in
the administration Of its affairs. Oh
a matter Of great importance and
which is now agitating the minds o.
those who know how defective and
deficient the present document is, il
makes these very timely suggestions
"In accordance with an act passed by
the last Legislature vote on the
question Of revising the Constitution
will be taken in August next. II the
people shall vote favorably upon this
question and ratify their vote at the
next succeeding election, then, at the
expiration Of another year, delegates
may be chosen to a Constitutional
Convention. Under the most favora-
BILE circumstances a convention can
not be elected before 1886. Much
work is needed to prepare the public
for general action within so short a
time. While one-third Of the popu
lation Of the State are unable to read
the present Constitution, how can they
be expected to vote intelligently upon
its revision? The desired changes
will not be brought about by mere
demands for "a new Constitution no
matter how often repeated. The press
and public speakers must show where
in is the need for amendment and re-
vision. All who discuss this matter
should ask what are the defects of the
present Constitution and what remedy
is desirable. Without such attention
all the cry for a new Constitution
must be set down as idle talk. There
are some things for the good of the
State that we can do under the pres.
ent Constitution, and some things
which will not follow, necessarily, the
adoption of a new one. They are %
the election of competent and honest
men to Office; (2) the equitable assess
ment Of property; 60 the education
of our children; "a the building Of
better roads; (5) the encouragement
of wool-growing."

A WASHINGTON correspondent tells
how the whisky men will get even
with the government for not extend
ing the bonded period aud at the same
time materially reduce the revenue
heretofore collected from their pro
duction. The plan is to export their
stocks in bond and thereby not only
gain time but prevent the over-pro
duction from being thrown On the
market. This can be done under sec
ton $500 Of the Revised Statutes,
which provides for the expectation
and reimportation of any merchan-
disc which has been manufactured or
produced in this country by the pay
ment of a customs duty equal to the
Internal Revenue tax on the article.
Under this law the distillery ware
houses, ship it to the seaboard, export
it in bond, and then reimport it with
out being subject to the heavy import
duties levied on spirits Of foreign man
ufacture. When it returns to this
country it can remain in the bonded
warehouse FOR one year for the pay
ment of the Internal Revenue tax of
ninety cents a gallon, and two years
longer on the payment Of penalty of
10 per cent. ON the tax or nine cents
per gallon. But a better system still,
which is being extensively adopted, is
to export the whisky to Liverpool or
Bermuda aud leave it there in bond
until it is actually needed for home
consumption when it can be reimport
ed. The freight hither and thither is
so small an amount that as not to fig |
ure much in the calculation.
