There is movement at Jefferson
City in favor of new state constitu-
ton. This should be very carefully
considered before the proposition is
acted on. There may no doubt be
some severe restrictions in the present
organic law of the state, some imI rae
ticable features, even, but it was so
manifestly framed in favor of the people
and against all manner of Jobs and
jobberies thstit should be reluctantly
given up. There is kind of hag for
new things with many people, not
rejecting that old things may be very
good, and not stopping even to inquire.
The onus pro6andi in this case is upon
those who want to change the con-
stitutlon. Let them advance the proof.
If amendation is needed here or there
it can be secured by amendment much
more readily than by an attempt to
have a new convention. Be sure that
reasonable amendments will carry
where an entire change would quickly
be rejected. We are not among those
who have a fetch in any instrument
made by hum an bands, but we confess
to veneration for the constitution of
the United States, born of the brain
and heart of such men as Washington,
Adams and Madison, and to conf
dence and respect for the present con-
stitution of Missouri, with a fear that
if we were now to attempt to better it
in toto we should, instead of doing
better, fare worse. Missouri has very
good constitution, needing amendment,
perhaps, here and there, but on the
whole a most excellent fundamental
law.

st. Louis Republic:-The passage of
the bill introduced in the Missouri
senate by Mr.. Sparks will do a great
deal to further its benevolent object
"the protection of abandoned, ILL
treated and friendless children" Under
its provisions, duly incorporated
societies for the care or protection of
such children may become guardians
for them on an order from the probate
court, until the child, thus cared for
reaches the age of IA, " hen it can
select it's own guardian. When any
such society finds a child suffering
from neglect or ill-treatment, the bill
proposes that it may apply TO the
probate court by statement or affidavit,
and the court may then direct the
sheriff TO deliver the child into the
custody of the society, subject to the
order of the court, for 80 days. pending
application for its final custody. The
bill is wisely drawn, for it gives the
societies no chance to err from mistaken
zeal. 1t leaves all responsibility with
the court, the powers of which are
enlarged to the extent that it may treat
as orphans children who are abused by
their custodians. In the cities, the
benevolent efforts of those who sym
pathize with childish suffering will be
greatly aided by such law. The only
danger of abuse will be removed if the
law clearly defines the meaning of the
''incompetency" which forfeits the
perennial right of guardianship over the
child; and If 1t requires cruelty alleged
against the parents to be established in
evidence as in criminal proceeding.
