IS IT PRACTICABLE !

The Iater-Scean, referring to the propo-
sition made By writer in the Princeton
Rerie7r, and recently discussed in these
columns, for a Convention of picked men
tc meet on the one hundredth anniversary
Of the adoption of the Federal Constitu-
ton, to propose amendments to it, says ::
" No doubt amendments are needed, and
ought TO be secured, but it is very doubt
full if they could be, even if Convention
were to be held. The ratification neces-
sarv to give any amendment vitality would
be difficult to secure, and, in fact, impos-
sible, if any element of party politics were
involved, however indirectly. The trainers
of the Constitution made the alter
alton of that instrument exceed
ingly hard" And it quotes the late
Alexander H. Stephens as once saying
" l very much doubt if we have not passed
the period in our Republics life when any
amendment to the Constitution is practi-
cable; whether any, however apparently
proper, could be made; whether, in word,
for the balance of our existence, long or
short, we must not make up our minds to
get along as well as we can, and do the best
we can with the Constitution as it is
1t was in 1860 that Mr. Stephens ex-
pressed these doubts. Very soon after the
Constitution was amended, though We adj
nit it was under the most phenomenal
conditions, The ease with which the
Constitution may be amended is largely
dependent upon what is proposed for new
matter 1t does not follow that proposed
amendments will be political in their char

Two of the chief amendments de-

acter. Two of the chief amendments de-
sired certainly Will not be, to wit: to give
the President power to veto single items of
an appropriation bill, and to give Congress
power to enact uniform marriage and di-
yorce law. The first of these propositions
has already been added to the powers of
the Governor in the States of California,
New York, Pennsylvania, Texas Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas,
Colorado New jersey, Nebraska and West
Virginia Here are thirteen States already
committed to the system, and Illinois is soon
to vote upon a constitutional amendment of
the same character. As to this, we do not
believe division of the people
of the States can be called. On
the second proposition there would be diff
ferenees Of opinion undoubtedly, but that
it should at all involve political parties is
difficult of comprehension. Of course it
would deal death-blow to Mormonism,
but certainly the antagonism of that people
on that question is not a reason for aban-
doning the effort to get rid OF our disgrace
full uniformity system. The PROPOSE
ton to give Congress power to legislate in
the interest of uniformity of laws as to
trademarks would receive the support of
the entire commercial side of the nation,
and we do not believe an objection to the
amendment would be presented worthy Of
any consideration whatever So, too, with
other northumberland are none, or at
least few, proposed that will excite the an
imosity of party or partisans. The Con
yention scheme is wise, ard amendment of
the Federal Constitution is practicable. To
say that We must never make the organic
law march up to the advance of ideas, is to
declare that the nation shall not benefit in
her legislative departments, or the people
in the social and domestic developments of
our civilization, and is old fogyism of the
worst stripe. 1t is the old story of the
stone in one end of the bag, and should not
receive consideration at the hands OF an in
telligent people

TIE ToAD QUEsTIoS.-Why are the toads
so plentiful after thunder shower? All
my long life no one has been able to an
swer the question. Why, after a heavy
shower, and in the midst of it, do such
multitudcs of toads, especially little ones,
hop about the graveled walk? For many
wears | believed they rained down, and
suppose some think so still. Thick as
toads after a shower" is one of our best
proverbs l asked an explanation of this
of a thoughtful woman-indeed, a leader
in the movement to have all the toads
hop in any direction without distinction of
sex or religion Her reply was that toads
came out during the shower % get water.

A RIGHT THING.

The bill to place General Grant on the
retired list passed the United States Sen
ate with vote highly complimentary to
the hero Of Appomattox. Our local even
ing contemporary intimates that the sym
pathy being expressed for General Grant
for his recent losses is uncalled for. Not
so. He is in years; he has been led into
stock speculation and badly beaten, as has
many wiser man. Those who gambled
in stocks with him expected to win, but
both they and he have lost largely. But
that has nothing to do with placing him
upon the retired list of the army. That
is but tardy act of justice. The greatest
chieftain of our armies should not have
been left off that list all these years. 1t is
his due, as much so as that of any of the
Generals upon that list now. The country
honors itself honors a great soldier, a
patriot and a hero when it does this thing,
and the people not only applaud the act Of
Congress- but do extend their sympathy to
the old warrior who fought and won our
battles, for the unhappy mischance that
has now wrecked him in business

form the river as to restore ii to its natural
ability to carry. 1t is its duty to see that
it is not assaulted anew or further by by
draulic mining or any other thing liable
to injure its navigability. If we had pre-
sented the case of the river to the Federal
Government half as strongly as We should
have done. or as an interested party does
a private claim, we should have had relief
of some sort from Congress long ago, and a
cessation of the damage done by hydraulic
mining. What we need to do now is to go
up to the next Congress with such strength
and persistency, and such'an array of facts
and reasons, that that body will awaken to
the Importance of our local claim and the
righteousness of it.

COMPARISON WITH CALIFoRNIA.-A prom
inent business man of this State and now
at the East, thus speaks in private letter
dated in Vermont: | see no State in the
Union where saloons are as plenty as in
our own. Texas and Louisiana are far in
advance of US. and when you come to
Washington, Philadelphia and New York,
not far behind them. Up here in Vermont,
of course, there are no saloons at all, and
liquor can only be got from town agents.
Even druggists do not keep it in this State,
and a drunken man is curiosity. If the
mechanics and workingmen here spent
their wages for beer and liquor as they do
with us, the families of half of them would
be a town charge, with the low wages and
comparative high prices of provisions, etc.
Ordinary people here never use vegetables
except where they raise a few in the mid
summer in their gardens. bunch of rad
-ishes, containing dozen, is worth 10 cents
here You sell dozen punches fully rs
large in Sacramento for 10 cents. Meats,
flour, feed, and everything else, are higher
here than with US, except wood and coal

is below zero one-half the year
