The present Constitution as whole
is most admirable one The error
Of its trainers was in incorporating
many things which at the time seemed
good, but which had not stood the test
Of practical application, and were,
therefore, only tentative, and fit sub
jects for legislative experiment. The
experience of seventeen years has de-
veloped its defects. 1t needs amend.
ment particularly, think, in three
subjects, viz The suffrage and cleo
tion article, to enable us to experiment
with the Australian ballot the judiciary
article, to repeal the foolish provision
that whenever county shall contain
5000 inhabitants it shall constitute a
separate judicial district" and the pro-
visions relating to cities and counties
must be remodeled to overcome the
muddle about classification, and to
permit fuller local autonomy, without
reopening the doors to the vicious sys-
tenn Of special legislation which existed
prior to 1874.
When the people are fully aroused
to the necessity for these changes, they
can all be brought about by amend
ments submitted in the ordinary way
under the Amendment clause Of the
Constitution. The amendments re
quired will present single subjects in
clear and concise language, SO that any
man of ordinary intelligence can com.

Hon. Chauncey F. Blacks Address to the
People of Pennsylvania Favoring
Constitutional Convention.
1He folio~'i"g is printed by request:

<"c |"'''" e"y 20 p|GNcCU W request.
York Pa; October IS, 1891.
The bill submitting the question
was passed through the Legislature by
the concurring votes of all parties.
Such was the universal sentiment in
favor Of Ballot Reform, without dis
tinction to party, that it could not
safely be resisted, and even those
most unfriendly to the reform and
most interested in its defeat were COM
PEELED to assent to this bill. They
did, SO, however, it now appears, with
the secret determination to try to de-
ceive and confuse the people and thus
to defeat the proposition and the re-
form at the polls.
A Constitutional Convention is the
people of Pennsylvania in convention
assembled 1t can revise the entire
instrument if it sees fit, subject only
to the approval Of the people at the
polls. In this case, however, the pri-
mary object is Ballot Reform, and
should the convention be called it would
establish at once, without awaiting
the uncertain action of future legisla-
lures, the secret Australian ballot, the
most perfect system known to men
which has absolutely restored purity
and freedom of elections wherever
adopted, which Ex- President Cleve
land declares SIS essential to the
maintenance of our free institutions, y
and which Governor Pattison said in
his inaugural sis the one thing which
the people Of Pennsylvania most want
and are most determined to have"
You are aware there is no way
under heaven by which the secret bal
lot can be given to the people OF
Pennsylvania except by an alteration
of the present article in the constitu-
tion on suffrage and elections. That
article requires ballots TO be numbered
for the very purpose of their identif
cation. 1t also permits each elector
to write his name upon his ballot and
to have it attested by the signature OF
any citizen of the district. These two
provisions, which no law of the legisla-
ture can defeat or evade, make it pos.
slble, indeed, easy, for the contents of
every ballot to be known, so that the
bribe giver, the political boss, and the
industrial boss, may buy and intimi-
date at will. Until these provisions
are removed there can be no ballot
reform in Pennsylvania worthy the
name.
There are two ways of amending the
constitution. Once in five years an
amendment may be submitted to the
people by the legislature. Such an
amendment must be approved by two
successive Legislatures and then sub
mitted to a vote of the people, having
been advertised between legislature.
and before submission. You will
perceive that this is a long, tedious
and dangerous method, requiring year.
for its completion and encounterins
many obstacles. 1t is also expensive
costing possibly quite as much as
convention, without any assurance o
the desired result at the end. Th,
other method is by Constitutions

The entertainment at the Opera
House last Saturday night was one OF
the most enjoyable amateur affairs
ever given here. Its preparation was
under the supervision of Mrs. Fl. H..

pretty, the singing was good, and the
entire programme was well carried out
by all who took part. Miss Maud

So good a thing ought not to be lost
after only one presentation, and strong
influences are being brought to bear
on the management to induce them to
repeat it.

That Chas. T. Ellis is becoming a
favoritc here was demonstrated by the
large audience which greeted "Casper.

most unique and excellent comedian
and his songs have peculiar beauty,
characterized by richness and sweet
ness Of voice that place him at once
in distinctive place as star on the
American stage. The play abounds
in picturesque situations, has an inter
esting plot and enough romance and
pathos in it to enlist the constant at.
tention of the audience. Mr.. Ellis
