Proposed Amendments to Constitution.

Proposed Amendments to Constitution.
1 TO make the Governors term of
office four years.
2. To make the Secretary Of State
elective by the people.
8. TO make the term of office of the
Sheriff and Trustee four years and to
provide that these officers and Regis
ters shall not Immediately succeed
themselves. This amendment does
not affect the offices of Justices of the
Peace, or Oonstables, as has been err
uslypublished by several papers.
4. To make Treasurer and Comp.
troller elective by the people, and to
make the term of Office four years.
5. To permit counties to make their
own laws on the subject of roads, fenc-
es and domestic animals. This is an
amendment of that section of
the constitution which permits the
Legislature to enact laws on the sub
ject of fish and game, "and such laws
may be enacted for and applied and
enforced in particular counties or geo.
graphical districts designated by the
General Assembly," The amendment
does not delegate any new power to
the County Court.
8. To authorize municipalities and
counties to exempt from taxes for pc
riod not exceeding ten years from date
of commencing business, capital invest
ed and used directly in the business Of
manufacturing.
Z. To limit bonded Indebtedness Of
municipalities and counties to ten per
cent of assessed values.
The sixth and seventh proposed
amendments are new sections; all the
others are amendments of sections now
in the Constitution.

Whole Number 1852
Republican Extravaganoe.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun has been looking
over the government balance sheet,
and discloses the fact that daring this
administration the Republican party
has been more economical of expendi-
lures for public improvements of do
mestic character, but spent for the mil
itary establishment, under the "WorlI
Power" policy in the last two years
TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY
NINE MILLION, EIGHT HUN
DRED AND EIGHTY-SIX THOU
SAND AND TWENTY-ONE DOL
LARS more than was spent during the
two years of the "billion dollar" con
gress.
The Treasury statement of receipts
and expenditures under date of Au-
gust 27, shows the daily expenditure
for the military establishment of the
United States to be more than twice
the amount OF the civil and miscella.
neous expenditures of tho Govern
ment. On that day the civil and mis-
cellaueous expenditures amounted to
$500, 900, while those of the military
establishment (representing Executive
powers) amounted to $94O,OOO for the
one day.
This seems to be significant enough
to command public attention, though
it does not comprehend the immense
additional power Of the Executive
through the Philippine expenditures
and patronage, the extent Of which is
not disclosed in the records of domes-
tic receipts and expenditures.

The Trouble.

One Of the fayorite stories of Mayor
Collins, of Boston, is about man,
who, accompanied by his little boy,
had occasion to cross alot wherea good
sized goat was feeding.
The father was Christian Scientist
and always carried copy of Mrs. Ed
dy's works in his pocket. AS they ap.
preached the goat the boy showed fear,
whereat his father told him to think it
not possible for the animal to harm
them, but the boy, rememberinga pre-
vious encounter with a goat in which
he came out second best, did not grow
any braver.
"Papa, you're Christian Scientist
all right" he said, "and SO am I, but
the goat doesn't tknow it. New York

How Davis Was Doomed.

A Grand Old Man, Henry G.. Davis
is in very truth. But speak of him as
sold" to West Virginian, says an ar
ticle in Leslie's Monthly Magazine for
September, and your age suggestion
will be promptly resented. When Ma
tional Committeeman McGraw, who
was the most active sponsor of the Da-
Wis "boom" at st. Louis, began his
crusade, he found the age objection
the hardest to overcome. "He's too
old, said Col. McGuffey, of Pennsyl-
vania, whose sixty-eight votes were
much desired. "My dear Colonel, "
promptly responded McGraw, ''if
your objection if physical, just you
come and take days horseback ride
with him over the West Virginia hills
and mountains; if you have doubt Of
his mental strength, come dcwn and
make a trade with him" The silver.
haired leader of Pennsylvania's unter-
rified democracy having had business
experience with Senator Davis, had
nothing more to say.

The Country Press.

One of the finest tributes to the
country newspaper that has ever been
rendered was contained in a recent ad-
dress by Senator Chauncey M. Depew
before the New York Press Association
at Manhattan Beach. Mr.. Depew said.
81 pay my respects to and express my
admiration for the country newspaper
and the country editor. His lines are
not cast in places of the great and prof
liable organs Of the metropolis, whose
profits are reckoned often by the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars every
year. But the country editor lives in
and is part Of his community. His vir-
tue is not so much in what he prints as
what he refuses to print. He could
easily destroy the peace of the commu.
nifty by admitting to his paper the
scandals and gossip Of the neighbors.
But he stands as Il censor and guar
dian of public morals, and know of
no conditions under which the public
is appealed to in a certain measure
where the utterance is so free from crit
icism as the general tone of the coun-
try press. "
This is the gospel truth. The coun.
try editor has more local power and
less profit than those who follow other
pursuits and he abuses that power less
than others vested with even half SO
much. The country newspaper is the
most complete exponent of a commu-
nifty Of any other civilizing influence
connected with it. In those commu-
mites where good patronage is ex-
tended, both in advertising and in
paid subscriptions, it means that the
communities are progressive and pros
porous, and where there are no news
papers enterprise languishes and the
people become listless and dormant

A GREAT REACTION.

GAS such signs betOken q great reac-
tion from the dominant political party,
tie opposition has every reason to give
the people in every state a thorough
campaign of education and to boldly
define the issue to which its platform
commits it, In this respect the leaders
of Judge Parker's campaign would do
well to emulate the Republican leaders,
who have long since spread their liter
ature broadcast over the land On the
other hand, the Democra owe it to
themselves and the country to eluci-
date and popularize the tremendous
contentious of their platform, which
places them distinctly in the aggress-
attitude. They contend that the Fed
eral Government has been subverted
from its original and constitutionally
ordained ends to carry on wild and
burdensome schemes or dangerous
imperialism, by which the country is
plunged into vast expenditures neces-
stating heavy drains upon all citizens,
and that this novel anti-American sys-
tenn is ceaseless menace to the nations g
peace and commercial progress, since
with every new foreign complication
the values of all securities, real estate
and other property, are subjected to
immense risks of sndden depreciation.
"They also contend that the Repub-
lican high tariff, embodying protection
run mad, has imposed mountainous
and unjust burdens of indirect and
concealed taxation upon the whole peo-
pie, fostered every form of monopoly
causing deficit in the nationalrevenue
and has raised the cost of living inor-
dinately to every consumer in the land,
while these enormous evils have been
aggravated by republican extravaganza
and militarism. If these and similar
Democratic iccontentions and allegations
can be sustained in part or in whole by
irrefutable arguments their authors
will do a great service to the country to
blaze abroad the facts that the voters
may be guided intelligently.
"On the other hand, if the Republi-
cans are able to parry the force of their
opponents arguments ard to show
that the evils complained of are exag-
gerated or imaginary, they will do an
equally patriotic service in pressing
their side Of the argument.
"But as the political situation now
presents itself to cool, independent OBJ
servers the resistless tide of popular
sentiment seems to be turning distinctly
Parkerward, with indications that the
reaction which has set in will steadily
grow until November 5, and meantime
will be strengthened by the logic Of
events. Revolutions, said Wendell
Phillips, 'are not made; they come.
This is eminently true of our peaceful
political upheavals, which no human
force can stay, and when they do come
they always surprise the party in pow
er as much as the authorities of Mar
Unique were surprised by the fata
eruption of Mount Pelee."
