A PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT.


AN organization known as the Ma
tioual League for the Protection Of
American Institutions Is making Itself
prominent by its endeavor to procure
n sixteenth amendment to the Consli-
tuition OF the United States, which reads
~ follows:
"No State shall pass any law respecting
an establishment of religion, or prohibit
ing tho free exercise thereof, or use rs
property or credit, or any money raised
by taxation, or authorize either to be
used, for tho purpose OF founding main
tanning or aiding, by appropriation, pay
mont for services. expenses, or other
wise, any church, religious donomina-
ton OF religious society, or any insltu.
tion, society, or undertaking which Is
wholly, or In part, under sectarian or &C.
clo.iastlcal control"
IL is said that n this should become
part OF the national organic law, many
desirable objects viii he attained. No
State or municipal aid can be given for
any soctarlan purpose. Nota cent OF
any money raised by public tsxation
osn 10 diverted to the use Of nny In
stltution not controlled by public
authorities.
IL would o1eciually prevent any pos
sible division OF school funds for sec.
tartan purposes. And II il said II
would eiieclually aud absolutely sever
Church and state throughout the
United States.
AZ first sight 1t would seem that
this proposed amendment is entirely
supe rerogalory, but In Observing close
ly the drift Of current events, It looks as
II there were some reasons for Ia adop.
ton. A strong feeling prevails In
many Of the Eastern cities that the
school fluid be divided, and proper
ton given to private and paTochial
schools. There are many religious in
stltulions controlled by sectarians now
In receipt OF State and municipal
bounties, either in the way Of subsidies
or exemption from taxes, that would
come under the new amendment.
We have no idea that it will prevail.
II Is not very likely to go through
Congress. Aud II 1t should pnss, the
Roman Catholic influence, II no other
would be powerful enough 10 prevent
It's adoption by n sufficient number Of
States to make II part Of the iuuda.
mental law.

iablishmeni Of legislature To which
the people Of the famine.sitlcken dis
tricts could send representatives.
The expression Of the Nagpur Con-
gress is simply mild way Of inaugu.
rating an agitation for home rule In
India. II speaks well for the advance
ment and progress OF that country that
It comes forward in this truly British
method Of demanding reform. Perhaps
IL would DO well for England not to
discourage the movement. Ruasia Is
awake aud looking wistfully towards
sacred Delhi and holy Benares. With
home rule Ia india under British pro-
lection, Russia would find II difficult
to obtain footing there.
The terrible Sepoy rebellion occurred
In 1857. The situation has changed
since thon. British rule In India at
one time was harsh, and perhaps there
are grievances still, bat the policy OF
government In that county has been
changed. A number Of wholesome
reforms have been introduced, and the
more Intelligent OF the natives see that
their interests are being considered.
The authority OF Britain is more ro-
spectod Mt present la india than II ever
was before. The Marquis Of Lans'
downe, now vlccroy OF India, who re-
Gently made "a tour Of the country,
WAS received everywhere with tho
hearlieat cordiallty. 1t therefore APP
pears that there Is a genuine feeling Of
friendship toward the British people
by the native Indians. Perhaps a
moderate measure Of nome rllc would
tend 10 intensity this desirable senu'
ment.

WEEKLY Trade REVIEW.

DuN & Co., In their report for tho
week ending Jan. ., 1892, state that
the old year closed with little more
than tho usual holiday dullness In gen.
eral trade, but the holiday trade itself
was considered satisfactory. Chicago
had tho heaviest holiday trade in It's
history; st. Louis had It unusually
large, while at Philadelphia aud New
Orleans 1t fell below the usual stand
ard. In the Southern States great
dullneas prevails owing to the unusu.
ally low price Of cotton and the accu.
mutation of large stocks Of It.
On the other hand, the West Is peou-
liarly favored by an enormous foreign
demand for crops, which would
otherwise DO depressed because they
are abnormally large. Exports Of
wheat for six months have exceed
ed 100, 100000 bushels, flour included,
whereas tho greatest movement ever
known In the last half Of any previous
year was ll5,0OO, 900 in 1879. The
price has declined nearly one per cent.
during the week, corn Q! cents and
oats half cent, but prices are satistac-
tory TO farmers.
The Treasury paid out one million In
excess OF It's receipts for the week. The
increase in imports ut New York dur.
Ing the past month has been about l
per cent, but the increase In exports
has been 81 per cent, which is equl-
valent Ia excess OF exports over I'M
ports 10 $40, OOO,0 900 per month. The
stock market has been strong towards
tho close Of the year, and dividends
declared have been encouraging, but
the record OF recelveTships during the
year includes twent y-slx railroads with
$3.50 miles In operation, and 1884,.
10000 In stocks and bonds. The an.
nual statement Of failures In 1891,
just completed, shows an increase
over last year Of 1888 In number,
