The trouble with the makers of our
constitution is that they desire to define
with too much narrowness aud defuite-
ness the whole province II government
for ell time to come AS q result, there
ara innumerable and useless and annoy
ing restrictions, minute in their character
and vRlueless altogether, put before the
convention by men who are anxious 10
make record, or by others who. as
member said few days ago, give their
days and nights to absorbing other con
stitutions than our own II they find any
thing new they seek to "chuck Ii in :"
The opinion of many of these reform rs
is hat whatever Is is right ii 1t can be
found in the constitution Of Pennsylva-
MIA, Indiana or Illinois, ard that what
ever is Is wrong II found iu the existing
constitution OF Kentucky Yet we have
failed to see that Pennsylvania Is freer
from corporate influences than we are in
Kentucky, or that the course Of legisla
tion In Indiana Is better than it Is with
US, and as for Illinois, the people OF that
state are more elRmorous than wa are
for a new constitution. If one will take
the voluminous report Of the committee
on the legislative department
and read IL carAiuliy, he will
conclude that the wish OF the committee
bas been TO abolish the legislative de-
partment and that they have about
accomplished it with innumerabla thou
shalt nots.' Aud yet the Legislatures
represent the wishes and the sentiment
Of the pea2le as fairly and as fully as the
constitutional convention It is more
than the executive department. more
than the Judiciary, the direct representa-.
i've Of the people. But the COMMITTEES

They tried troops at the polls and even
went so far as TO have that
thick-skinned and reckless cavalry
man General Phil Sheridan. WHO
declared that he would devestate the
blooming and beautiful Shenandoah val
ley so that crow could not subsist
there, disperse the Louisiana Legislature
and report that there had been 1900
political murders.
Even that treatment failed. Grant
ard Sheridan could not manage the,
army in the South so as to secure contr al
of the State legislatures for the Repu oil
can party and still retain respect able
position Ia the North
It was scarcely possible to count in
Hayes with impuuity The respectable
people OF tho North almost deserted the
Republican party, they were so outraged,
and the Southern States naturally went
back into the control Of the whites,
Thus the Republican party, after
twenty FIVE years Of legislation directed
for the sole purpose OF securing the negro
vote in the South and TO retAiu
the workingman'g vote in the North has
failed and they arc driven TO adopt a
measure which is false, foolish and

After considering the matter
thoroughly the Five Com missicpers' bill,
published exclusively in the EvRNr~a
JOURNAL OF Saturday, has been offered as
an improvement on the Levy Court
system. The objections to that system
were: That It was cumbersome, that there
were not enough checks and balances,
that the number was too large. that
there was not sufficient individual per-
sonal responsibility.
The Five Commissioners bill mssts
and obvlates all Of thoss objections and
still retains the representative character

THE LAST TRICK.

The Force bill is a confession Of
failure.
For twenty years or more. the Repu5-
lican party has been legislating the
negro class into q suffrage machinery
This bin is a distinct, open al
shameless confession that none Of their
methods have been wise enough or drastic
enough to accomplish the purpose Of
establishing the Republican party in
power-of securing the negro vote
The Republican party had full control
Of sll of the branches Of the government
twenty five years ago. They emancipa,
ted and then enfranchised the negro.
Even those measures failed. The party
was about TO lose. power so they saved
themselves BY enacting the Civil Rights
bill. That failed too, and was declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
