 During the prohibition campaign in Massa- chusetts there was protest by large num- Der of the leading lawyers of the State against the adoption of the amendment on the grounds that such a measure had no proper place In the constitution. This pro- test has now been repeated by a great array of leading lawyers in Philadelphia and Pitts burg, including George W. Riddle, John O.. Bullitt, James Campbell, Richard 0. Me- Murtrie, Edward Shippen, Franklin B. B.Gowen, William B. Mann and George M. Dallas of the former city. The protest declares that "the constitution of Pennsylvania is, or was intended to be, an organization of govern ment and a declaration of rights guaranteed to the individual citizen, and that, under it's provisions, all police regulations and dedni- tions of criminal offences were properly left to the legislature for enactment by statute law" It is also urged that constant amend ments cause doubt and confusion in the construction of the constitution, and "tend to diminish the honor and reverence in which it is held by all men and all parties."

THE NEaRO QUESTION.

General Armstrong's treatment of the question in his annual report of the Hampton school will attract attention, as he is particu- lsrly well qualified to discuss the matter. He points out that since 1862 about seYen- teen millions of dollars have been contribut- ed by the North for the education of the southern negroes. This is less than half the amount devoted to that object from the self imposed taxation of the South, the total southern aid of negro education since 1868, in common and normal schools, having amounted to over $37. 900, ,000.
 The education thus provided for has had, in General Armstrong's opinion, important effects. While law1essness is still the curse of some sections, there is, even in the "blaok belts" of the gulf States, 6 steady, if slow, ,ad- vance toward good government, the gain in every ten years being noticeable. General Armstrong admits that he did not himself the opinions of some thoughtful southern men convinced him of it. He finds the pop ular talk about the negro in hopeless key; but to the direct question, "Are the laborer's pigs and poultry and crops safer than ten years ago7 are the loafer and thief more like ly to get their duea are the negroes inclined to get homesteadsf' the answer is usually "Yes."
 General Armstrong thinks that it would be better to dismiss politics from considera- tion and that time through education is the only cure of the evils which remain. "In- creasing enterprise at the South and the new industrial life of the people" he says, "are helpful conditions, and where they are sup plemented by education, are pushing the bet ter part of the negro race into prosperity, giving them place and making them a power. The talk of disfranchiseHent is idle, it comes too late; the negro is not what he was twenty-five years ago, and the next half century will see great changes. As prosperity creates social distinctions, political divisions will follow, and the human nature of both races may be trusted to adjust the relations, which are, indeed, to-day, generally amiea- ble. In those localities where lawlessDess and injustice have repelled capital and immi- grafton, the penalty of impoverishment is the swift result. and government can do little; the people must finish the work of recou- struction."
 This is sound doctrine. The negro prob lem Is fast being cleared up, and progress to- ward it's complete solution will probably be still more rapid than it has been.
