a State Stuffed With Towns

From the New York Advertiser
The president has perpetrated a really
good joke. Noting the frequency of stops
along his railroad route in Vermont, at
Middlebury he was moved to remark:
Perhaps it is because your state is not
very large, and you have had to put your
towns close together in order to get them
all in"
This quiet bit of humor covered com
pliment, too, that was readily appre-
ciated by the Vermonters.

Kentucky's New Constitution.

From the LOUISVILLE star.
The constitutional convention is again
at work, and it is probable it win be in
session but few weeks. The splendid
majority of 10000 given the new instru-
ment, despite the opposition of the Sun
day Truth, is such an expression of salts
faction that the delegates seem reluctant
to make any changes in the material of
the charta. 1t is probable that the con-
vention will confne the work of the
supplementary session to the correction
of the phraseology of the new instru-
ment and to the elimination of the verbal
inaccuracies which are easily pointed
out 1t is not believed that any radical
change Of any section will be attempted,
and it is safe to say that the constitution
as it has been given to the people in the
first draft will be in almost every partic-
ular, the constitution which is now re-
ceiving its finishing touches at Frank
