The Constitutional Am Ddments.

Three amendments to the constitu-
tion will be submitted to the voters Of
the state at the approaching election.
They have been duly published in the
press, as well as in the published laws,
and it would be an instructive COM
ment on the referendum could it be as
certained how many persons, excepting
the compositors and proofreaders, have
read them or considered their effects.
The votes on previous amendments in
dictate that there is a large number Of
voters who give these important mat
tiers no attention whatever. It is not
probable that this year will prove All
exception.
And still there are two amendments
that are of exceptional value one to
the voters in the cities, the other to
every voter in the state. The one is
adopted in 1895, commonly designated
as the "home rule amendment" which
obviates some Of the objections to that
measure. The charter commission is
limited now in it's tenure of office to six
years instead of being practically a
permanent body; it is obliged to sub
nit amendments to the charter when
petitioned by 5 per cent Of the voters;
and the classification Of cities by pop
ulation is broadened. This amendment
will be of interest mainly to citizens of
cities, and, outside of them, the vote
upon it is likely to be insignificant In
the cities the vote should be full and
unanimous in its favor.
10 other apoardT1oanf cnoOpd ~,
the list, is one of general Importance
and should not be neglected by any
voter. It's purpose is to defeat any
proposed amendment unless it shall
have, not, as at present, a majority Of
those voting upon the proposition, but
of all the votes that are cast at the
election at which an amendment is
submitted. This, unquestionably. was
the intention of the existing provision.
It's language is susceptible Of no other
fair construction. The trainers evident
ly designed that SO important a pro-
ceeding as the change Of or addition to
the organic law should not be effective
unless it had the assent Of a. majority
Of all who voted, not only upon it. but
on any other subject. But the supreme
constitution by the process of "distin-
gushing" and defeated the plain intent
of the trainers. 1t is said that the
court was minded to give the provi-
sion the effect intended, but that, in
its councils on the case that involved
that provision, 1t was suggested that
the thirteenth amendment to the con-
stitution Of the United States was rati-
fed by just the requisite number, three
fourths, of the states; that the pro-
posed amendment did not receive a ma
jcrity Of all the votes cast at the cleo
ton at which the question was submit
ted to the voters Of this state and
that, consequently, If the court held
such a majority essential, 1t would in
validate the thirteenth amendment.
Whereupon the court held that only q
majority Of those voting upon a pro-
posed amendment is needed for its
adoption.
But at this day, after thirty years of

and loyalty to the party are the only
excuses it offers for any member Of it's
tried and found = wanting delegation
The personal representative of the Dis
patch and city railroad company is in
urgent need Of votes, to which, by rea-
son of his unsaVory reputation as a
legislator and lobbyist, as we'll as his
dislOyalty to party associates, he is not
personally entitled. It is admitted that
Hitler H. Horton, as chairman Of the
present city committee, betrayed Kie-
fer, the head of the ticket which he
was appointed to support, and COM
ing still closer to the prayer for aid ad-
dressed to the friends of Senator Davis,
many voters are asking for evidence
that Horton has not been equally dis
loyal to him. The solieitous watchful-
ness Of the Davis managers over Hor-
ton during the session of 1893 is still
remembered. The rumors Of monetary
inducements for the then grudgingly
given but much needed vote are still
current. Is such a man one with whom
to conjure party fealty. Many Repub-
licans say no, and promise to strength
en- their party by much needed re-
Duke at the polls. Any other answer
means the VicariOUs sacrifice Of the in

acquiescence in the construction of the
supreme court. the voters are asked
to provide that no amendment shall be
effective unless it have a majority of
all the votes cast, not for or against it,
but for the party candidates, Judging
the future by the past, it is evident
that hereafter if this amendment is
adopted, there can be no amendment of
the constitutionYwhat for, If any
future amendment shares the treatment
accorded those in the past, it will not
nave sufncient majority to secure it's
adoption. one may we'll ask what is
the purpose of this amendment? Its
erect is quite clear; why is that effect
desired? Were the legislators who pro-
posed 1t fearful that forces are at work
that would demand some radical
change In the constitution? Are there
influences that are content with the
construction put upon some features Of
the constitution and desire it's perpetu-
alton? Certainly as a general PROPOSE
ton, 1t is desirable that amendments
should nave majority of all the vot-
ers, out certain it is that they never
nave had and probable it is that they
never VIII nave. Shall the number who
DO think about these changes, who
study them and vote intelligently upon
them, have the result determined by
the thoughtless who do not care and
VINO neglect to vote upon the amend
ment? Should vote uncast count as a
negative vote?
There is this special danger that, I'M
der the present construction of the con-
stltW1on, this amendment may be
adopted by a minority vote unless at
tenuon Is given to it and a strong
negative vote cast. 1t should be de-
feated.

able imaginary disturbance has been

The antitrust law was based upon
the principle that nothing should be
done, through the process of combina-

and commerce by restraining a free
distribution of products in every di-
rection. There are those who think
they recognize in this decision a spe-

either that there is not law enough on
the statute books to protect the we'll
meaning citizens of this community,
or that whatever there is is not well
understood and enforced.
Here was ''humbug, fraud and
sWindler," as Judge Bum characterize
ed him, doing a lucra tive business in
! the very heart of st. Paul under the
pretense Of being a divine healer His
professions would not for an instant
stand the light of investigation in this
enlightened day and state. And yet
he hung out his sign and was doing a
rushing business in dipping the unin-
formed, until The Globe exposed
! him. 81
1t is true that he was first brought
| to the attention of the public by the
Mt deal Society of Ramsey County, by
| whose officers he was taken into court
on the ground that he was a pretender
! and fraud. The judge, learned man
| of the law, saw nothing in the case
| but legal .tecnnicality, a quibble as
| it were. and let him go forth to con-
| tinue bis work of preying upon tie
| ignorant and the unfortunate What
| kind of a law is it that does not give
| protection to the very elect of the
medical fraternity of Ramsey county?
And what kind Of a judge, might it
| not be asked, who sees no harm in this
| old falzir and let's him pursue his call
| ing unrebuked?
| A poor judge, naturally, the reply
| would be-the product of a condition
! Of politics which elevates not neces-
sarily corrupt men to the bench, but
weak, immature beings, who have lily
acquired the rudiments Of their calling.
1t should be the business of the grand
| jury to deal with such an impostor as
La Chance; and the business Of the
| county attorney for the welfare of the
county, to undertake the prosecution
| against him. And, then again there is
| the doubt whether the humbug, fraud
and swindler would not prove sharper
| than the prosecuting attorney, and so
escape punishment = VIII ich, possibly,

Have they done their duty?
