bility to require reapportionment of
the senators therein. Such legislation
ought to be had at the present session
as shall provide for the expected con-
tingency.
The speaker urged that the present
provisions of the constitution with
reference to securing an amendment
to the instrument itself be changed.
He also urged that the day for holding
the state election be changed to the
first Tuesday in November, and the
time for convening the general
assembly be altered to the first We'd
nesday in January.
The legislature ought to be very
reluctant to change the laws when
once established. While it is not to
be questioned that our statutory law
might be improved in many respects,
yet it is we'll to remember that change
is not always Improvement.

CHINA WILLING TO PUNISH
HER OWN CRIMINALS.

The unity of Germany and the
United States, the one the most radi-
cal of the powers in dealing with Chi
nese questions and the other the most
conservative, has apparently been
achieved by China herself. A second
circular note has been issued by Ger
many to which the United States has
and replied, cordially approving the
programme outlined by Germany
stating that Minister Conger has al
ready been instructed to report as
to whether the persons named by
the Chinese edicts for punishment are
the really guilty ones, whether the
penalties likely to be inflicted by Chi
ma are adequate 20 the crimes COM
mitted and how it may be made sure
that these penalties are actually visit
ed upon the real criminals. The sub
stances of the second German note to
the powers, called out by the evidence
that China is willing to punish her
own criminals, and dealing withe the

question of such punishment, ap-
parently abandons the untenable
ground that delivery of the guilty
shall procede peace negotiations. In
other words, the Berlin Government
is disposed to allow China to punish it's
own subjects, requiring only that the
penalties be adequate and inflicted
upon the really guilty persons. AS to
whether China's intentions in these
particulars are satisfactory, Germany
proposes to make the Pekin diploma
tic corps the Judge, and the opinions
of the ministers is also sought as to
how the powers may best safeguard
the infiiction of such punishment as
to it's adequacy and righteous Justice
