CONSTITUTIONAL ApPREHeNsIoNs.

CONSTITUTIONAL APPREHENSlONS.
The constitutional convention Of Ken.
lucky has emerged from sitting of 1877
days, during which it has made such
radical changes In the instrument that
some of the most influential papers in
the state including the all-powerfu
Courier Journal are opposing its adop-
tIon by the people.
The cranks got hold Of the convention
and attacked their pet aversions with
such legislative vengeance that the
convention usurped the prerogatives Of
the Legislature and attempted to regu
late all the affairs of daily life by con-
stitutional enactment
IL seems a much safer plan to amend a
constitution by specific legislative enact
ments to be referred to the people. The
fundamental law Is, in the main, right,
and should be changed as seldom and as
little as possible. The current evils and
the temporary changes Of law to meet
them should be left to the Legislature.
The Courier-Journal says:
For the new constitution Is big with
disaster and Il should be defeated. It
contains mischief in every section. 1t Is
| formulated on lines that mark a wide de-
partnre from anything we have known or
conceived Of relative TO written constitu
/ tions. 1t is IN no sense what a constitu-
tion is intended TO be. Il is drawn to
catch votes, like the platform Of some
new party. 1t contains promises
which it is not possible to fulfll. 1t
is made the vehicle Of personal ambition,
and embodies special legislation OF q
most dangerous character. It violates
every rule the convention has sought to
! impose on future Legislatures '
1 The convention IN fact, has ignored
almost entirely the distinction between
| the three departments executive, judicial
and legislative. Recognizing no limits
| 10 Its own power, it has failed to mark
distinctly the divisions Of the three de-
partments of state. Only IN the last
few weeks was the fact brought 70
the attention Of the convention that
II had omitted the ordinary declaration
to the affect that the government should
be divided into three departments. with
out debate that clause was inserted, but
through all this deliberations the conven.
tion had ignored its principal with the
result that confusion reigns everywhere.
Let all who balleve In popular institu-
tious, all who believe that a constitution
should not embodY a code Of laws, but
should be merely declsratory Of funda-
mental principles Of government, unite
to defeat the proposed constitution Of
1892.
The above should serve ss lesson and
warning TO Delaware. II is probable
that we shall have constitutional con-
vention, in which event, no men should
be sent to II who are not intelligent and
dislnterested. No men should be sent to
It who have not read the present consti
tuition, or who do not compre
hend the important differences
between ordinary statute law and funda.
mental law It is the apprehension of
just such a state OF affairs as the Courier.
Journal represents In Kentucky which
makes wise men hesitate to collect mob
Of SO called legislators who do not
understand that a constitution is a
general declaration OF fundamental law

THE break between the white and
black. k.Republicans has begun. It augurs
well for the blacks and for the country
The 6rst white Republican meeting ever
held ID South Carollna--an outgrowth Of
the Farmers Alliance-was held in
Charleston yesterday. Fifty one clubs
were represented, many of them being
former strsight-out Democrats. The
meeting elected delegates to tie Republi
can League Convention which meets al
Cincinnati April 81. This movement is
regarded an ominoas one in connection
with third party prospects in south Caro-
lima, but elsewhere it is regarded as the
beginning Of the end Of the solid negro
Republican vote--suprems domination Of
the Republican managers over the neer,
suffrage. It will be benefit TO the in
telligent and honest negro and to th,

they Talked of Dress.

In walking up Market street yester
day afternoon the EVENING JOURNAL
reporter counted twenty-six couples and
triplets of wemen Of whom eighteen were
apparently discussing dressing or
fashions, and the nine others appeared
either to have desisted or just about to
begin those engroslng and ever
lasting topics, OF these, twelve
were making gestures so as to
illustrate the trimming, drapeiy or form
OF the gown OF these twenty six parties

economy that ''if the farmer could de
liver his surplus produce to this consumer
out Of his farm wagon his independence
and his profits would be larger
and surer." But then again,
It is to be considered how
much greater would beshis independence
ana how very much larger his
profits If he could have crops without
ploughing, sowing or cultivating, and If
he could induce his customers to 60 to
his farm and dig or cut them and buy
them right out of or of the ground,
The President. with this reference TO the
value OF the home market. keeps running
up against and around himself In a most
inc0nsiderate and perplexiDg fashion.
He begins by ignoring the fact known to
everybody, that the general complaint Of
farmers and manufacturers is that
the home market is too small; that
our farms aud our mills have ont
grown IL; and that the common clRmor,
growing louder and louder, is for a
broader market Az he proceeds, he is
Obliged to recognize this demand and he
says he thinks Il possible to satisfy it
without impairing the home
market by opening our manufacturing
trades to the competition of foreign labor
employed foi lower wages. This Is the
| Presidents defence of the Mckinley bill,
TO which the multitude he addresses are
opposed for the reason that 1t benefits
the manufacturer and Injuries the farmer /;
but he says that the plea they make
against it 'iAvolves the concession that
things may be too cheap. A coat may be
too cheap as well AS corn A farmer who
claims good living and profits for
his work should concede the same to
every other man and woman who tolls
Certainly; but the president cannot be
| Ignorant of the fact that the Mckinley
bill has made every mans coat much
dearer; aud that, while 1t has done that.
/ IL has added not one cent TO the wages of
any imam or woman who tolls TO make
the dearer coat Indeed, the wages OF
garment makers Of all sorts have been
decreased rather than Increased since the
Mckinley bill went into effect. The
Mckinley bill is not responsible for this,
but the laws are which place no tayiif, NO
restriction, upon the multitudes of cheap
labor that pour into the country through
our wide pen doors

MIspIacsa oaotation MARKS.

You have often noticed how the news
papers mix up verbatim report OF a
speech with the reporters interpretations,
so that you cannot tell whether the
speaker or the reporter Is responsible for
some portions Of It, This evil is puzzler
to persons not in the profession, and is q
hard problem to many Of its followers,
Newspaper men understand how the mis-
take Is made. When the copy goes to the
printer each paragraph is begun with
quotation marks where the speaker is
quoted and Is ended with quotation
marks If the succeeding paragraph lie

Of the speech Is indicated by quotation
