CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
vENTIoN IGNORED.

During the last campaign the Fu-
sionists seemed to favor the calling of a
Constitutional Convention to revise the
constitution. The Reno Journal strenu.
ously advocated the proposition, insist
ing that such a measure should be
submitted to the people for approval or
disspproval. The SENTINEL was of the
same opinion, though it took no part in
the discussion. 1t still believes that
the people should be given an oppor-
tunity to express their opinion upon q
proposition so vital to the interests OF
the State.
Why was the subject dropped like q
hot potato? The SENTINEL knoweth not,
unless it was because Mr.. Newlands
observed casually that a revision of the
State Constitution was no longer neces-
sary, that conditions had changed, and
that existing conditions could readily
adapt themselves to the requirements
OF the existing constitution. The Ora
Gle having spoken, it would be disre,
spectful. if not sacriligious, on the pari
of the Legislature to take any action
looking towards the submission of the
proposition to the sovereign people. The
Gods might be offended and withdraw
their protection from the State, and the
last condition of her people would be
infinitely worse than the first. To avert
so disastrous q calamity was the i'm
perative duty Of the Legislature, and
right nobly it rose to its performance
and thereafter never mentioned the SUBJ
ject nearest the peoples heart. For
this the people will some day rise up
and call it blessed.

ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION NO. ~.

The Virgins Chronicle which stren-
uously supported Mr.. Newlands for the
Senate, now charges him with having
tried to defeat Assembly Resolution
No. IL by writing personal letters to
every State Senator, urging him to vote
against the resolution.
This resolution taxing patented mines
was so popular that at the last session
of the Legislature il passed both houses
unanimously. It was vetoed by Gov
erpor Ssdler. II was taken up this
session by the Assembly and unani-
mously passed. On being sent to the
Senate, it was referred to q committee
where the Chronicle says it sleeps the
sleep of death.
The Chronicle claims that Mr.. New
lands acted without having acquainted
himself with the real object of the bill,
reminds him that be is the servant,
not the ruler, of the people of this
State, aud advises him not 10 try to en-
large his powers.
The Chronicle seems to forget that
Mr.. Newlands made the present Legis-
~lsture, in order that it might make Mr..
Newlands g United States Senator, and
having accomplished his purpose.
having been elected by his henohmen
to the coveted position, it seems only
reasonable that he should rule and gov
ern, or at least direct the Legislative
action of the members of his creation,

by the Grove Presbyterian Church last

Rev. Mr. Stewart, of Slippery Rock

EARLY CLOSING
IS ASSURED

Early closing for the summer seems
well nigh assured A few of ouI
merchants have been working yery
| hard during the last few days and a.
will be seen from the list of signers
printed below all but very few OF
our business men have been won over
| to the movement.
The plan this year is to begin early
closing the first of June instead of the
| first of July or later as has been custo-
mary in the past. The proposition is
to cover three months, reopening the
stores on September the first. The
/ stores will be open but one night each
week-Saturday night.
The merchants begin to realize that
by keeping their stores open after six
O'Clock during June they are missing
| the benefit of the evenings during the
most beautiful month OF the year,
when the hours of daylight are the
longest. They can easily forego the
! freedom of the evenings in September
when darkness begins to set in early
and the weather is apt to be cool
enough to make life comfortable in
doors.
In the present movement to effect
| early closing the merchants seem to
be the prime movers and the clerks,
who in previous seasons were the lead
ing spirits in the enterprise are now
not much in evidence, although their
hearty sympathy is with the move
ment.
In early closing this year an excep-
tion is made of the night of July 3rd
The paper circulated for Signers reads
as follows:
We the undersigned business men of
Danville, believing that some little
recreation and shorter business hours
are essential TO good health hereby
agree to close our respective places of
business each night at six O'Clock
from June lst to September lst, in
elusive, Saturday nights excepted.
