THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

Seven amendments TO the State constitution
ara to he voted on tomorrow, and it is i'm
portaut that voters should understand the con-
stitutional changes submitted for their approval.
The first amendment-and the one most directly
affecting this city-is designed 10 aid in the
solution of our water supply problem. Under
Section 10 of Article of the constitution no
CITY can incur q bonded Indebtedness in excess
of 10 ner cent Of its assessed real estate valu-
alton TO carry through the Esopus water plan,
bonds TO the amount of S161.0OO0OO will have
10 be issued; and the city's debt creating ca
pacity would come so near exhaustng itself as
TO cripple municipal progress. The proposed
amendment directs that debts incurred by New
York City after January ]. 1904, for water supply
purnoses shall not be counted against the const-
tutional Io per cent allowance. This is rational
measure of relief: for the water charges are
met from special water rates, not from the gen
arai taxes levied on assessed real estate valua-
4iops Every citizen OF New-York should sup
port this amendment
The second amendment is intended to give
complete effect to the States recently adopted
policy of indirect taxation. Under the constitu-
tion. the canal debt and the debt 10 be created
in building State highways must be met. princl-
pal and interest. by direct taxation. The amend
nlent allows the principal and interest to be
paid at the option of the legislature from the
proceeds of indirect taxation Coupled with
the second amendment is the sixth amendment
which extends the life of state bond issues
from eighteen years 20 fifty years. These TWO
amendments submitted TO facilitate the con-
struction of the barge canal and the establish
ment OF an improved highway system.
The third and seventh amendments de-
signed 20 eularge the Judiciary and relieve the
pressure OF litigation in New York and Kings
counties. TIE legislature is 20 be allowed to
divide the present I'd Judicial District separat-
ing Kings County from the other counties now
included In that district-Quccls. Richmond.

GEMS FROM 1TCLELL4N

Mayor Mcclellan gave to THE Brooklyn
Eagle a page interview which was published
yesterday. It contained a few gems. Asked
what was the greatest issue of the campaign,
he answered good government and said that
it had been furnished by his administration.
This from the supporter of Oakley and Pallas,
who sat by while Murphy and his favored con-
tractors held up franchise grants, who turned
real estate sales graft TO man removed
from Office for malfeasance by the Mayor him
self. and who cannot be induced to discuss de-
tailed matters of bad government in his ad-
miniStration, was amusing.
Among the things the Mayor claimed credit
for We're the schools. As there are more part
timers. deprived of the right of an elementary
education' as Mr.. Mcclellan once put it, than
there were at the beginning of his admlnlstra-
ton, that claim daring. In view OF his
shout NO excuse,'' two years ago when eX-
plantations of the impossibility of more rapid
progress were given, his explanation of having
done the best he could is pitiful. Moreover,
his remark, Il promised upon taking my office
that | would do the best that could be done
"for the school children of NewYork. and
have kept my promise" is untrue He didn t
promise TO do the best he could lie promised
fatty to find full days sitting for every child,
and he has not kept that promise.
Another thing for which the Mayor claimed
credit WAS the Manhattan Bridge. Inasmucb
as his change of plan on the bridge at the in
stance of contractors with old and notorious
Tammany pull" has delayed that much needed
structure two years, the claim is impudent.
Most significant of all is the Mayors answer
to the question about bosses. He escapes by
avowing that he is "a Democrat and q parti-
SAN He serves Murphy because that is his
duty rs q Democrat, to the machine. And yet
he dares TO ask Republicans to vote for him in
a spirit of non-partisanship

ELECTIONS IN NEW-JERSEY.

The elections in New-Jersey this year are for
the most part of local interest only. There are,
however, three exceptions: Mayor Fagans fight
for reelection in Jersey City, Everett Colby's
candidacy in Essex County for the State Senate
and the attempt of c. Asa Francis TO be elected
Sheriff of Monmouth County. In all three cases
a specific issue of general public interest has
been raised and it so happens that all OF the
men named are Republicans.
In Mayor Fagan's case the simple proposition
before the people is as to whether they intend
to indorse or turn down" faithful and fearless
public servant who has done their work well
as to the active hostility of the professional
politicians, "grafters' and corporation agents.
What there is left of the old Republican machine
is apparently doing its best to defeat Pagan but
an overwhelming majority of the voters will
surely stand by him he has stood by them
Mr.. Colby's election is as much of certainty
as anything can be before it actually takes place.
He symbolizes the popular protest against boss
rule. and he represents the desire Of the average
taxpayer that corporations should be assessed on
the same basis as ordinary property owners. His
fight began originally a protest against I'M
limited franchises, but that feature of it was
won early in the game, far as Essex County is
concerned Mr.. Colbys majority is likely to be
large but it ought to be swelled to the limit for
the sake of the moral effect in other counties.
Francis. the Republican candidate for Sheriff
of Monmouth County, ought to be beaten so
badly that no party will dare nominate here
after a man Of his calibre for an office of such
Importance. In New-Jersey the Sheriff selects
the juries-grand and petlt-and the testimony
of those who know Francis makes it perfectly
clear that he is not the right kind of man to be
ntrusted with such power and responsibility.
AS matter Of fact, Ffanciss administration as
Mayor of Long Branch should be investigated by
the grand jury TO be drawn by the next Sheriff

Indignant at South Carolina.

Battle Creek, November 13.-Editols
Courier: would respectfully ask the
privilege of short space in your paper
to express my indignation against the
State of South of South Carolina in the
action of the States officers in pouring
out cider, the property of the citizens Of
Oconee. 1t is plain to every citizen of
Oconee that as long as the State was
allowed to sell her liquor in Oconee that
it was legal and all right for any person
to sell cider, but as soon as The people of
Oconee said they wanted no more of the
STATES liquor, then the State says Ito our
ctizens): "Well, if you won't have my
liquor you shall not even have cider TO
drink. I'll make you all prohibition
sure enough"
Now the State makes a big pie once in
while, when she orders big lot of
liquor, and the dispensary officers Gf
they have not been badly belied) thrust
their fingers In the pie first, and pick out
all the choice pieces, and then offer what
is left to the citizens CT OcOnee and
other counties, and because we refuse to
have it they say we shall not even have
cider.
We can do without whiskey of any
kind and cider, too, and believe we
will be as well off as we have been with
both. j. N. Watkins.
