CONSTITUTIONAL TINKERING.

Constitutional tinkering seems now to be
the craze IN several states. Kentucky's
convention has Just finished its work of
drafting new constitution for the Blue
Grass state; Pennsylvania is clamoring
Tor like convention, the press of the
state vigorously reminding the legislators
at Harrisburg that both parties are pledged
to the calling of such a convention. Next
comes Delaware with demand for consti-
tutional revision. This tinkering with
constitutions is extremely Improbable
business. 1t leads rather to complexity
than to simplicity in government: and if
we may judge from the work done
in later years by constitutional con
venhons, the tendency is to inject no
small amount of legislation into consti-
buttons, thing most deplorable Consti-
buttons like machinery are all the better
the simpler they are, and should be con-
lined TO the statement of fundamental prin-
ciples of government, the division of the
power they create into its proper depart
ments, and clearly define the limits of au-
thorlty, leaving the rest as the domain of
conscience and freedom. The men of a
hundred years ago were well versed in
fundamental law, and wrote constitutions
which the men of this generation will find
1t dltiicnlt to improve upon. Constitutional
revision will be found as powerless as legis-
latve enactments 70 correct all the evils
with which states and nations are plagued.
This too frequent overhauling the founda-
lions of our political fabrics, moreover, is
liable to endanger the whole structure.

LOCAL LABOR MARKET.

Every few days we run across ADVERTISE
ments or what purports to be news para
graphs in eastern papers, saying that me,
i chanics and laborers are scarce in Salt
Lake, and that wages are high, while
steady employment is assured to all COM
srs. The frequency with which these
/ statements appear and the similarity of all
would indicate that some party or parties
have conspired to overrun this city with
wage-workers, either to injure the CITY or
for the purpose of cutting down prices.
If anybody is engaged in this
work he is doing wrong. The
truth is, the local labor market is greatly
oversBocked, and the outlook is ANYTHING
but assuring to the toiling classes. All
winter long hundreds of mechanics and
laborers have been walking the streets,
vainly seeking for employment and patient
ly awaiting the coming of spring, in the
hope that building operations would be re-
sumed and prosecuted on larger scale and
that industrial enterprises giving employ
ment would be inaugurated. Well, spring
has come, and there is some building, but
the crowds of unemployed do not grow
less. A notice in any of the city papers
that hundred laborers were wanted on a
given day would fetch thousand before
noon. Scores of houses are visited every
day by strong, able bodied men, asking for
food and soliciting work.
We do not overdraw the picture, but
state merely what everybody familiar with
the situation knows to be the facts. Hence
we say it is wrong to encourage men to
come here by holding out to them prom
lses of employment. 1t does an in
Justice TO those already here and idle, and
puts the community to unnecessary
trouble and expense, for all must be fed
and clothed whether or not they are at
work earning money.
In this connection it occurs to us that the
labor organizations here should take action
70 protect their members. They should
Yend warnings to corresponding societies az
Tar east as Chicago, and get notices in the
papers setting forth the facts. 1t it should
happen that there would be demand for
men greater than the local supply could
Aaatisfy it would be easy enough to get all
hat might be wanted within few hours.

NOT YET A RIVAL.

PRIDE" was the joyful exclamation of the
nrst NAPOLEON when he sod Louisiana &c
the United States. At present, however
we DO not appear to be very formidable
rivals to England in maritime way, and
NAPoLEoN's prophecy must be fulfilled in
the future If fulfilled at all. At present
Germany, SO far as her commercial marine
IS concerned, is the only power which In
any way threatens to rival England in
ocean traffic. According to all accounts
Germany is fast building up magnificent
11eet OF merchant vessels and establishing
lines In every part of the world. Her latest

In respect to this subject we may say that
the remarks which President HARRISON
made upon it at Birming ham, Ala, are the
most noteworthy utterances which the
President has made so far in his tour. He
said:

A sad story comes from Lansing, Mich.
Early in the SOS JAMES HITCHCOCK, who
lived IN Bunker Hill of that state quarreled
with an acquaintance on the highway and
killed him by intlicting knife wound. He
was tried by due course of law and SEN
| fenced to the penitentiary for life. He in
sisted that he had killed his acquaintance
IN self-detense, but could not establish it in
court few days ago, however. the
principal witness died and confessed nm
his death bed to perjury in the HIrcH-
| COCK case. 1t was this which led TO H1rcu-
COCKS pardon after serving thirty three
years in the state prison. When the inof
fensive old man was pardoned he was the
Oldest convict in the prison. 1t was new
world that he stepped into from his living
tomb He had never ridden on railway
train, never heard the click of a telegraph
instrument, nor the articulate vibrations of
the telephone. Sadder still, his wife was
dead and his family so scattered that no
trace of them could be found Liberty had
come, but its blessings to him must be a
deeper loneliness than Imprisonment. The
old man is pitiable figure, bowed aud
bent, his hair and beard snowy white and
his face colorless. He wanders about the
capitol corridors daily, peering wistfully
through swinging doors into the legislative
halls. He has asked the legislature to ap
propriate $1,000 for him in his old age on
the assumption that he is innocent and was
wrongfully imprisoned, which doubtless
is the case. There ought TO be little hest
fancy if the facts are as reported. 1t would
be but small compensation for the wrong
the state has inflicted on him through the
false testimony of wretch for whom the
fires of hell are altogether too cool. Cases
of this kind splendidly illustrate the doc
trine in law that it is better that ninety
nine guilty persons should escape the pen
atty of the law than that one innocent man
should suffer.

As to the Swedes, it is said there exists
in that country, though it is not always
enforced, regulation that every person
desiring to emigrate shall procure from the
pastor of the parish certificate of good
character. The pastor being civil officer
as well as an ecclesiastc, being supervisor
over the free schools, he knows the facts
as to his people, hence his certificate NAV
be relied upon as stating the truth concern
ing the character of the individual. If
there were such regulation in Italy, there
would be no such incidents as that which
occurred in New Orleans last month, and
If the Hungarians were kept at home until
