After wears of wearisOmc discussion the re-
vision OF the Belgian Constitution has been
satisfact) Iiy accomplished. The notifications
are of a sweeping character and involve such
radical changes from the original Constitution,
bearing the date of February I, 1881, that the
Belgians may be said to have been endowed
during the present month with an altogether
new and up-to-date Magma Charta in the place
Of the enc which has done service for over
sixty wears Whether the new Constitution will
attain the age of its predecessor, it *, Of
course. impossible to predict. This much how
ever. nav be said in its favor, that il answers
to popular want and a popular demand, and
is far more in harmony with the democratic
tendencies OF the present day than that which
has enabled the Belgian people to attain their
present degree Of progress and prosperity.
The main points of difference between the
Cd Constitution and the new are that the lat
ter permits Belgium to acquire colonies. with
\ view to taking over the rights of the Congo
Free State, which are az present vested only
in King Leopold II as its sovereign; although
some Of the signatory Powers of the Congo
Cen 'ercnce at Berlin, which organized the Free
state may possibly object TO IT'S becoming n
Belgian dependency. Article XXXN1 permits
members of the Chamber TO become Ministers
without having to seek reelection. Article
XLVIl. the most important OF all, gives a vote
70 every citizen above the age of twenty five,
an extra vote to married men who pay -axes
or to bachelors who have attained the age of

education. or who have held or hold public

sentatives Of the Young Republican Club, the
Brooklyn Democratic Club and the Citizens
Union. Republicans want all the help they
can get in this canvass, and will not repcl ad
vances and advice from any body of inde-
pendent voters.
But one or two things must be taken for
granted. FIRST, the Republican City Convcn-
ii IN will nominate Republican and second,
he will represent the free and deliberate choice
Of the delegates chosen at the primary meet
ingS. The most capable and strongest man
must be named. and if assurances of hide
pendent support and preference for him can be
received in advance, so much the better; but
he must be placed in nomination in such a way
rs to be Independent of the politicians of both
parties and responsible Only to the people.
Brooklyn needs Mayor who will be as free

Low was in his time. or as Mayor Pingrec. an
