THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
BY the President of the Con.
ventiOn.

While the revised aud amended
constitution may not bealtogether free
from objection or entirely acceptable
in every respect, it is, in my opinion.
the best Constitution that could have
been framed under the circumstances,
aud certainly il is very decided im-
provement upon that under which
we now live.
When the members of the Conven-
ton assembled here nearly twelve
months ago they found themselves
confronted with most serious condi-
tions They could not disregard the
l4th and 18th amendments of the
Federal Constitution, and were bound
to obey them as part of the supreme
law of the land. They realized that
the different sections of our State,
not being entirely homogeneous. held
conflicting views upon the all absorb
ing subject of suffrage. For many
months they wrestled with that vexed
question. La the language of the
Supreme Court of Mississippi, they
swept the field of expedients. They
have adopted plan of suffrage which
will accomplish the paramount object
for which the Convention was called,
a plan which will eftectually elimi-
nate illiterate negro suffrage, and at
the same time preserve the rights of
the white man as far rs it can posi-
bly, be done without violating the
18th amendment.
They have cut down the expenses
of the State government.
They have reduced the rate of tax
alton, because they felt that they had
no right to take from the people any
more money than is absolutely neces-
sary to defray the expenses of govern
ment economically administered.
They have adopted a new jury
system which will not only greatly
facilitate the trial of causes. but save
considerable expense to the State as
well as to the counties, cities and
towns.
They have introduced salutsrv
reforms in the executive, legislative
and Judiciary departments.
They have made valuable changes
in the organization of the counties
and in the government of the cities
and towns.
They have devised a Just and
equitable system of taxation and by
changing the system of exemption,
have added largely to the taxable
values of the State.
They have adopted plan for the
government of the public institutions
and prisons, which will not only
greatly improve their efficiency, but
remove them entirely from the field
of party politics, "a contamination
devoutly to be wished"
They have made it mandatory upon
the General Assembly to enact laws
preventing all trusts, combinations
and monopOlies inimical to the pub
lie welfare.
They have established a corpora
ton commission with the power of
supervising, regulating, and controll-
ing all transportation and transmits
sion companies in all matters relating
to the performance of their public
duties, and their charges for the
same. This has been done with no
purpose to embarrass the corpora
tons in performance of their i'm
portant public functions, but to pro-
tect the people from unreasonable
and unjust exactions.
Without undertaking to enumerate
ali the benefcient changes that have
been made, l have no hesitation in
expressing the opinion that the men,
bers Of the Convention have builded
better than they knew
