The gratifying news comes from Kentucky
that the constitutional convention proposition
WAS carried in the recent election. The re-
ports that il had been defeated were owing to
the fact that the wrong basis was taken in
making the calculation. The method Of sub
mitting such a question to the voters of Ken
lucky is very complicated, and is likely to
fail from a misunderstanding of its terms.
There is no State constitution in the Union
that needs modernizing more than Ken;ucky's
does and the people may congratulate them
selves that at last they are to have the oppor-
tunty to perform the task.
