DO we Need a New Constitution.

'p We -Ntth IL view SoHSsALtAtiphs
There was a new constitution adopt
ed in 1851, another in 1868 and the pres
ent one in 1867. Thus within ? period
of seventeen years there were three
constitutional conventions. Since 1861
thirty years have elapsed and many
amendments have been tackled on to
questions closely allied with The or
ganic law of the State are still being
discussed in the public press, and are
continually presenting themselves be
fore the public for solution and settle
ment. Baltimore city has already de
cided upon having new charter, but
what tappreciable advantage and equi-
table securement of representative
rights can Baltimore city obtain by
her new charter until her representa-
tion in Legislature is more in keeping
with her growth and standing, and
prestige as a metropolis of half mil
lion inhabitants; and this can only be
secured by revision of the cOnstitu-
ton. The basis of representation of
the counties and city of Baltimore in
the Legislature needs re-adiustment
in accord with the increase in popula-
ton
Another most important feature
which needs radical treatment is the
law relating to bribery at and before
the elections. The present cOnstitu-
ton declares that both the giver and
receiver Of an election bribe shall be
punished. This provision renders any
law for punishment Of bribery virtu-
ally nugatory and impossible of exc
cution, as one party TO the crime can
not be expected to testify against an
other when his testimony cOnvicts
himself OF Il similar crime. The con
stitution should be changed so as to
punish the giver and not. the receiver
of bribe.
Another needful change is the ten
ureof Office Elections are toe frequent,
scarcely one campaign is over before
candidates are hustling about getting
ready for the next years election.
There is no reason why the Sheriff,
Treasurer, Comptroller and other Of
ficials should hold Offices only two
years, while county Commissioners,
Judges of the Orphans Court, Regis
ter of Wills, Clerk Of the Court, and
other officials are elected for four and
six years.
In addition to the foregoing there
are many other portions of the consti-
tuition which needs revision. and the
next Legislature should provide for
the submission of the people of the
State, at the next election, the ques-
tion Of the adviSability of calling a
convention to adopt new constitu-
tiOn.

reform as long as it should be delayed.
The argument that a change in road
making will cost something is hardly
worthy of consideration. Everybody
knows that thousands of dollars are
worse than wasted every year in every
county of the State in the antiquated
and useless methods now in vogue.
This money, if no more can be had. is
entirely sufficient to begin the build
ing of good roads. The work must
be done according to a well-devised
system, and under scientific supervi-
sion.
Colonel Powell has suggested a sys-
TEN of five hundred miles of roads,eX-
tending from Worcester TO Garrett
county, which would practically
open up every county and give high
ways to all central or distributing
points This system touches nearly
every county town, and Col. Powell
thinks it could be constructed in five
years. 4 contemporary remarks that
about two hundred miles of the pro
posed system is always made, referring
to the fine macadam road" from
Baltimore to Garrett county. This,
we presume, is the old National pike
In this connect III it is interesting to
recall the assertion sofrequently made
in Allegheny county that the worst
road there is is the pike, because Of
the present system of roadmending.
But, under proper supervision, this
famous highway could easily be made
"a fine macadam road"

To the Editor ofThe Repububican.
Now that the posters and programs
of the Farmers Institute for Garrett
county are out, | wish through your
paper to call the attention of all our
farmers to these meetings, and be
speak full and regular attendance
at the lectures.
Owing to & severe storm upon the
morning appointed for the institute
held last winter the attendance was
small at that time, but had our reo-
pie more fully understood the charac-
ter and object OF the meetings / feel
confident that the weather would not
have kept 50 many away.
The department of Farmers Insti
tutes is an outgrowrh of the Agricult-
ural College and the Experimental
Station, and is carried on by State
appropriations for the benefit Of all
the counties of the State. At least
one meeting each year is TO be held in
every county. At these meetings
men who have had experience and
knowledge OF different branches of
farming and stock raising are secured
to lecture upon their speciality.
These lectures are informal and last
year the speaker was ready at any
time to answer any question or eN-
plain more in detail points of special
interest.
1t is not only intended to ilnpart
information through the institutes,
but it is hoped to awaken interest
among the farmers themselves, so
that they will compare notes and be
brought to organize farmers societies
and in time lead to the holding of Il
county fair, which would be great
stimulus and incentive to the farmers
and their wives to produce the best
butter, fruit and vegetables.
The program of the institute to be
held at the Court House at Oakland,
beginning at 10 a. IN. on Monday,
December 18th, and continued on
Tuesday, the 18th, will include ad-
dresses upon the following subjects:
/. Fruit growing for market and
family.
3. Value of early maturity in ami
mails and how obtained.
3. Which of the two are the most
important crops, the boys and the
girls, or the stock.
4. Sheep for mutton and wool.
). The bee and its honey.
6. Growing and handling vegetables
for market.
1t is expected that at these lectures
there will be specimens of sheep, etc,
which will be used by the lecturer for
practical illustration, and | would
ask in behalf OF Director Amos
that if any of our farmers have an
unusually fine apple, or specimen of
fruit or vegetable, that they would
bring it with them to the institute,
and thus in a small way begin com
parison Of our products.
In closing let me once more ask for
full q attendance in Oakland on the
18th. The State has appropriated
the money; let Garrett county reap
the benefit of her proportion.
