New Orleans Nov 2O.--Presdent
Gompers has been completely exonerat-
cd OF the charges Of infidelity to the
principles Of trades unIonism said TO
have been made by Theodore J.shaffer,
president Of the Amalgamated Associ-
alton Of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers. The
report OF the special committee which
has conducted the investigation report
ed to that effect before the convention
OF the American Federation OF Labor
The committee report that when Mr..
shaffer appeared before 1t he declared
that he had not at any time either In
writing or otherwise made any charges
against Mr.. Gompers Of infldelity to
trades unionsm nor did he desire to be-
fore the committee.
p J. Sheriden, who introduced the
resolution which resulted In the inves-
tlgation was asked at the hearing II 1t
was true that Mr.. Shaffer made any
charges before the last convention of
the iron, steel and tin workers against
Mr., Gompers and he replied that he
had. Mr.. Shaffer denied It. Mr.. Sher-
idan offered to read the minutes Of the
meeting at which the charges were said
by him to have been made. Mr. SHAFT
fer objected 20 this. because the min
utes were thJre of secret meeting and
IL read by MIR Sheridan II would In
volve him in trouble with his own or
ganization for dlvulging the inner
workings OF the convention.
The convention decided that the ques-
ton OF veracity between Mr.. Shaffer
and Mr.. Sheridan was something with
which 1t had nothing to do and there
being no charges against Mr.. Gompers,
there was nothing to do but return a
finding to the effect that Mr., Gompers
was completely exonerated. This was

1t is deplorable the short-sightedness

many electors voting at an election

Ex-Chief Justice j. A. P. Campbell
expresses his views in the Clarion
Ledger which we reproduce below:
II think all should agree that the
Constitution ought not to be too easily
changed, and certainly not without
strict compliance with its provisions
Tor amendment. Some constitutions
can be amended only by a convention
representing the sovereignty OF the
people. Ours provides for its amend
ment by a proposal adopted by
Two thirds OF each House of the Legis.
lature, by vote in each, on three differ
ent days, duly advertised and voted for
by a majority of all the qualified elec.
tors voting at an election, and inserted
as part of the Constitution in any re-
spect.
"Ihe proposal of amendment No. 2
to be voted on the 4th of November. is
that, instead OF majority of those
voting at the election, majority of
those voting on the proposed amend
ment shall be sufficient even though
100000 should vote at the election and
only 5000 should vote on the amend
ment, and, without waiting for the
election of another Legislature, the
Legislature which proposed it, shall
insert 1t as part of the Constitution;
and the decision of the Legislature
shall be final, thus arming one depart
ment of the Government with the
dangerous power to irrevocably de-
termine as to amending the Con
stitution.

TO TaE vorERs or WASHING

TO TIE VOTERS or WASHING
TON COUNTY:
We deem 1t our duty as senator and
representatives OF Washington County
to call attention to the several constt-
tutional amendments which will be
submitted for ratification or rejection
at the election to be held Tuesday,
November 4th.
The first amendment virtually re-
peals section 1873, which iuhibIts county,
city, town or other municipal corpor-
alton from becoming subscribers TO
the capital stock Of any railroad or
other corporation, or association, or
from making appropriation to, or lend
ing its credit or aid to any corpora :
tion, or association, but confers the
right, under certain restrictions con-
tained In said amendment, to the
above mentioned municipalities to be
come such stock holder, or u vote aid
to such corporation. As far as our
section Of the State is concerned we
deem this amendment of small moment,
but we are advised that In other parts
of the State strenuous efforts are being
made to build railroads, and that this
cannot be accomplished without the
aid OF the municipalities and under the
constitutional provision, as it now ex-
lists such aid is impossible.
Amendment 2. We consider this
amendment as very unwise, and we
think it should be voted against.
Judge J. A. p. Campbell has discussed
this amendment fully and ably in the
press, and any one who takes time to
read his articles cannot but be con-
vinced that the adoption Of the amend
ment would be exceedingly unwise.
Amendment 3. We desire to urge
most earnestly that you vote for this
amendment. Under the existing con-
stitutional provision, special session
Of the legislature, except as to revenue
and approx ration bills, are controlled
largely BY the Governor. AT special
session II is impossible to legislate on
any question, or pass any Law, other
than appropriation bills and revenue
laws, unless the question is submitted
to the legislature by message from
the Governor. and The legislature must
adjourn at the end ofthirty days un-
less the time isextended by the Cover
nor. Thus 1t will be seen that it is a
practical impossibility for the legisla-
ture to accomplish anything at its
special sessions without the consent of
the Governor.
Experience has taught us that the
conditions are such in this State as to.
require a regular session OF the legis-
lature every two years that the legis-
lature should be free to act on all ques-
tions Of moment to the people. That
it should have ample time in which to
carefully consider and act, and that
the legislature should be the Judge of
the adyisability Of legislation, and Of
the time it will require to enact such
Legislation. II the people desire best
results from the Legislature they should
BY all means vote for this amendment,
We are most respectfully,
RIB. CAMPBELL,
Senator.
