BLUNDERS IN AMENDMENTS

IFrom the New Jersey Law J~ournal.,.l
Probably the most glaring fault in the
proposed amendments is the fact that if
we should adopt them we would have a
State Constitution which did not provide
| when members of the Senate should be
elected. Paragraph 1 of the I'd amend
ment amends Paragraph 3 of Section 1
of Article Nv. This paragraph now pro-
vides that member of the Senate should
be elected on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November. But the par
agraph as amended omits this provision,
nor is it provided elsewhere when Sen
ators should be elected.
But it is the misuse of words In the
provisions for the amendments that
shows more than anything else the haste
with which they have been drawn. In
the provision for the first proposed
amendment it readS:-tAmend Section l
to read as follows: The word Section
same mistake is made in the provision
for the fourth proposed amendment,
which reads:-Add the following to Sec
should read Paragraph" The reason for.
this is that neither Article II. nor Ar
ticle v. of our Constitution is sub-di-l
vided into sections. They are both di-
vided into paragraphs.
III Constitution, as a whole, is .divid-,
ed into articles, sections and paragraphs.
Til articles are denoted by Roman nu-
merals. the sections by slanting Roman
numerals. and the paragraphs by Arabic
numerals. Each article refers to a sep
arate subject. The theory of the distinc-.
tion between sections and paragraphs is
this: When an article can itself be divid-
ed into distinct ~sub-heads, as Article VI
for instance, sections are used, which
may themselves be sub-divided INTO para
graphs. But when an article is. not sus-
ceRtible Of subdivision into sub-heads, as
Article II. which refers simply to suffrage
and Article ", which refers to the execu-
tive alone, paragraphs are used. In the
second provision of the fifth proposed
amendment the word paragraph is cor
rectly used In referring to Article ", show
Ing the inconsistency in the use Of the
word section" in the two former places.
What would seem another misuse of
words consists in using the word
ion lg, 80. %. go, qD and 90 Of the
change and amend" are not given as
synonyms by Webster. He says to
amend is to change for the better-that
IS, 1t is more comprehensive in Its mean
ing than the word change, which Isl used
where we might use the words cha
substitute or shift. In former amend
ments to our Constitution, and even IN
the first four of these proposed amend
ments, there has been a constant dfstinc-
ton between the use OF these words.
amend" being used when It was intend
ed to altar q paragraph by emitting or
supplying something, or to enlarge the
scope of its operation, and Change" be-
lag used more in the sense of the word
I substitute.

ACULp BAROALOw'S SUCCESSOR.
Tbe Whom GriggeI ste Make
Running Mate TO ssL0nv Payne,

From the Elizabeth Journal
With reference to, the comments made
by the Democratic papers, to the effect
that Governor Griggs is only making such
appointments as will assist him in reach
ing the United States Senate, they may
be dismissed because of their source. But
the report that Mr.. BEETLE of Camden is
slated for appointment to some valuable
and important office is quite a different
matter. This comes not alone from Demo-
cratic sources. 1t was heard from many,
mouths on the night of&5tae Republican
Assembly caucus at hesTrentom House
and it has been gaining currency ever
since.
Personally we have nethinfzA against
Mr.. Bette, but his superintendent this
time wotld be q terrible mistake. Mr..
BEETLE is the legitimate successor Of the
late Culver Barcalow. He belongs to that
PARASITE organization known as thu
ssThird House, He is b Iebbyist.of long
standing and of great suavitya eand pHr-
sistency. He may be a necessity in HIS
present capacity. but the people owe hi1n
their candidate for any office In the gift
of any man elected by the people,
Governor Griggs may well beyWarned,
IL he has not been warned already, that
such an appointment would not be cred
table to his administration and would
not Rebound to the permanent success of
b Republican party. We believe Gov
ernor Griggs has common sense n fore
sight enough to see for himself that the
turning down OF Senator Stokes to make
way for Mr.. BEETLE would be- flying In
the face of public sentiment all over the
State, n would be inviting hofidemna-
ton for himself and for the party.

IN JAIL FOB INDEFINITE TERM.
Another Argument for the ABOLISH
- maut of IusfaeasAfr ho -

r r
A woman named Anna Ruble is locked
up in the County Jail as a complaining
witness and If the sapient Justice of the
Peace of Kearny has his way about it
she is liable to remain there for an in
definite period. The woman alleged that
she was assaulted by Benjamin Sinclair
of Kearny. She says he employed her as
a servant W days after his wife died
n that he assaulted her. BY the adj
vice of some friends she complained to
Judge Smith and a warrant was issued
for Sinclair,s arrest, but he did not wait
to have it served. He left for parts I'M
known and Judge Smith proposes to
Keep the woman in the County jail until
Sinclair is caught.
But that is not all. Judge Smith had
the woman examined by a reputable ply
stefan In Kearny and then Insisted that
the physician should give $1,000 bonds to
appear as a witness. The physician was
naturally indignant and after he had said
a few things Judge Smith concluded that
he need not furnish the bonds. The at
tention of Judge Hudspeth will probably
be called to the case.
