From the Columbus Forun
The new constitution, which the
people Of Kentucky are to vote
on, Is a lengthy document, bat af.
ter twice carefully reading the in.
strnment, aud three times the Bill
of Rights. we declare our position
to be in favor Of it's adoption, and
give the reason. The good points
In its favor, are. !"
A barrier to ar,ravass.s nnhiie
expenditures.
Prohibition Of local and special
legislation by the General Assem-
bly,.
The adoption of the secret bal.
lot.
The control of corporations.
Reformation in the exemption
law, and correction of the taxation
system.
The lessening of the grand jury
from sixteen to twelve.
The three.fourth verdict In jury
cases, where nine shall find the
verdict, instead of as now, twelve.
These two last mentioned chang
ca alone, will save the state thous.
ands of dollars annually.
The establishment of a reforma.
tory for juvenile offenders.
The prohibition of passes TO
members ofthe General Assembly.
The prohibition of exemption by
the General Assembly ofthe prop
erty of individuals or corporations
which means an equal tax to all
alike.
The right of the General Assem-.
bly, to exempt churches, public
buildings and schools houses.
Under this law, all corporations,
which includes banks, will pay the
same taxation that individuals
now pay, and that alone is worth
all the Objectionable features in
the proposed constitution.
The limiting of the General AS
sembly to go days session;-this
will be another saving of thous-
ands annually.
The fixing of all elections in the
state upon the same day, and the
inhibition of more than one elec.
tion annually.
The adjustment of the slavery
clause, etc, etc, etc.
We have in just as brief space
as justice requires, given few of
the most important changes, and
taking il from the alpha TO the
omega, it is a good constitution,
but how about the coIporatiOnsl
Well, they are against it, for ii

IMPENDING EUROPEAN TROUBLES
Labor Demonstrations May Ist.

The one contest which under.
lies all others now going on in
European politics is the struggle
for life between the kings and the
people, between the drones and
the producers. 1t is q struggle to
the death, pervading and forming
a basis for every other question,
either political or social, and every
issue joined on any public ques-
ton il necessarily related more or
less directly TO this one vital ques.
ton of who shall enjoy the yield
OF the soil, the toi!er, whose labor
produces IT. or the aristOcrat, who
bids the labOrer toll. At present
it is the drone who gets the lions
share, which enables him to live
in idleness and luxury, while the
unfortunate who sweats his brow
TO produce the means for this lux.
ury gets barely enough to keep
body and soul together, in many
cases not even that. To maintain
this unjust arrangement force is
necessary, for the 'nstinciiye love
of liberty and justice in man, and
the instinct Of self.preservation
common TO both man and beast,
will assert themselves, and in pro.
portion as the danger is great so
will the resistance be great. This
is the case, now. The masses of
monarchial Europe, driven to des-
peration by the oppression and
exactions Of royalty aud aristoc.
racy, are threatening a mighty up
heaval, and the first of May is
fixed upon as the date for begin
ming the revolt. Royalty has be-
come alarmed, and rigid orders
have been issned by every gov,
ernment in Europe forbidding the
contemplated assemblages except
under the guns of the soldiery OF
batOns Of the constabulary.
