The Truth OF 1t.

Under this caption We clip the fol-
lowing from the States, that simon
pnre Democratic newspaper Of New
Orleans And We believe onr con.
frere to he perfectly right in what he
-ays, especially III the case Of Rapides:
We believe for instance, that Assump-
tion, Ascension, Iberia, St. Mary, st.
rharles, West Carroll, East Baton Rouge,
West Baton Rouge Calcasieu, lberville,
Lafayette, Onarhita, 18th Ward Orleans,
'laqnenines. Red River. Rapisies. St.
Martin, It. Tammany and Vermilli"n
were absolutely misrepresented by their
respective members OH the State Central
Committee. Had it been possible for the
nrOple of these parishes to have been
consulted, We are confident that the anti
lottery vote in the committee against sep
arate hite primaries Of 81 would have
been cut down to II votes.

KENrUoKY,s CONSTITUTION.
1t Contains Many Changes-An Expen
sive Convention.


LOUISVILLE, KY, April 1.-Kentucky's
constitutional convention to-day completed
the constitution to be offered to the people
Tor adoption and adjourned, after being in
session 1919 days. 1t has cost the state
about 100000, aud made very many
changes in the old fundamental law of the
state. Some Of these are recognized as
wise, but very many are untried
and are considered of uncertain benefit. On
account of the latter the constitution will
be opposed by many strong public men and
may be rejected by the people when voted
upon in August Principal changes are as
follows: The preamble expresses gratitude
to God for American liberty; the bill of
rights provides that no grant of exclusive
privilege should be made, except for
public services; that no property shall be
exempt from taxation except as provided
in the constitution; that every franchise
shall be subject to amendment and revoca-
ton; specifically allows the passage of a
compulsory education law forbids involun-
tary servitude except for crime; forbids
armed persons to be brought into state
except upon application by general assem-
bly,; revokes all lottery charters and
prohibits sucI privileges. Legislative ses-
sions are limited to sixty days and special
laws are prohibited where general laws can
govern, and upon many subjects special
law is prohibited. Counties, cities and
towns are to be divided into classes and
governed by general laws. An official
| secret ballot is provided for
with provisions modelled after the
Australian system to prevent bribery.
Que election a year in one place and no
more is provided for. Long sections define
the rights and privileges of corporations in
general and their limitations in their rela-
ticns to the public. Issue of stock
except for money or other value at
current market price is forbidden; also Civ
ing of transportation or other passes to
persons holding public office, consolidation
of transportation and telegraph COM
panies or pooling of profits are for
biddsn. Bank officers who receive money
for deposit after bank is known to be in-
solvent are made guilty of felony.
A railroad commission to operate
under extended constitutional pro-
visions is established. All property,
land, bank stocks and money are to be taxed
alike The number of grand jurors is
changed from sixteen to twelve. A uniform
system of courts is devised. The working
of convicts outside the penitentlary and
payment of employees except in money is
forbidden. The age at which children may
be employed is to be limited. After five
years land titles in Kentucky, espe-
CldLiy III EASTERN henUuCky mining
lands. must be settled Votes OF taxes
for railroads are forbidden. The $500, 00C
of direct tax returns by the federal govern
ment is added to the school fund. School
money must be distributed to white and
negro schools alike, and separate schools
for the races maintained. A state reforma-
tory institution is provided for. Two
amendments to this constitution may be
proposed by any legislature and ratified by
a vote of the people at the next election.

WHISKY TRUST INVESTIGATION
Government Officials Claim That the
Trust Is Using Money.

Government Officials Claim That the
Trust Is Using Money.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE investigation
into the alleged plot to blow up with dy-
Mantle the distillery of H. H. Shufeldt of
this city by Secretary Gibson, of the whisky
trust. was continued to-day by the federal
grand jury. Government Gauger Dewar,
whom it is alleged Gibson sought to bring
into the plot, Detective John Bohnheld
and several other persons were exam
ined. 1t is said that the government
has evidence to show that the material for
the explosive compound which was to have
been used was bought at Colburn g. Birds
drug store in PEORIA and that the compound
was made in the laboratory of the trust at
Peoria. Government officials claim that
the trust has been using large amounts of
money to buy off witnesses before the grand
jury, and they hint that some of the
witnesses who have besn examined will be
prosecuted for perjury. United States Mar
shall Hitchcock says the government took
precautions that Ashford, the colored JAM.
tor for the trust at Peoria, should be brought
before the grand jury without giving any
one connected with the defense chance to
coach him. This was done with valuable
results to the prosecution. Ashford, it is
said, testified TO having gone into the
trust laboratory one night and
accidentally broken bottle on one of the
shelves. The contents ignited and Ashford
was seriously burned in extinguishiug the
flames. This testimony and evidence that
Gibson personally purchased phosphorus, are
regarded by the government officials as
tending heavily to fasten upon him the
guilt of constructing the peculiar in
fernal machine said to have been designed
to blow up big antitrust distillery.
