Politicians are discussing the terms of
the constitution Of 1884, which has sud
denly acc uired Importance. That consti-
tuition has been adopted by the people,
| who, according to Colonel Sanders rea-
soning, had perfect right to do so. It
is practically sure that the conven-
ton will be limited to revising it only in
such matters as have been altered by the
| growth OF the territory. As it now stands,
| the constitution calls for a general cleo
ton, which will include county officers,
within so days from the date when the
constitution is adopted. As regards a
new capitol, it is ordered that the legis-
lature at its first session shall provide for
submitting the question to the people.

then the people are to vote again on the

The spe ech OF DR.. Crutcher at the
Pythian banquet has elected much praise
from those who heard it. After grace
full Introduction and some remarkable
facts and figures about the growth of the
order, DR.. Crutcher said: "The Uniform
rank has had a most extraordinary growth
since its institution, about 10 years ago.
having now over 500 divisions, with q
muster roll Of over 10000. The beauti-
full, brilliant and impressive pageant of
1000 uniformed Knights in line of march
in Cincinnati last June was never exceed
ed by any order, young or old, on either
continent. The founder of this order,
Justus H. Rathbone, and three of the
original members, are still living in Wash
ington, d. O., where originated this organ
lzation. Everywhere throughout our
borders prosperity prevails and exceed
lngly healthy conditions exist 1t is a
cheering fact that there Turk no latent
fires of disford under placid surface of
amlty, but with one accord, with an eve
single to the furtherance of the interests
and virtues Of the order, 'as an army with
Banners marching steadily, bravely for
ward, conauering and to conquer, every
Jurisdiction and lodge seems inspired
with the desire of carrying out the prin-
ciples of Friendship, CLARITY and Beneyo-
lence; vieing with each other in their eff.
forts to exemplify and augment these
most salutary influences. To true and
faithful Knight these principles are dear

bough of sybil to the eager arean, or the
dragons, to the Hesperian daughters.
There is in every true Pythlan heart a
spark of heavenly fire which, perhaps.

and blazes in the dark hour of adversity,
No man knows the hidden energies and
sympathies of his neighbours nature;
