The amendment is to the effect that
the jurisdiction of the Federal court in

looking to that end, the which he pro-
poses to push vigorously and sincerely
so long as life remains within it.
He believes that the present state
constitution-written in 1877, and not
long after Reconstruction-has long
outlived its usefulness. and that the
way to replace it is to replace ii i'll its
entirety, with new and up-to-the-
minute constitution. to be fashioned by
Georgias wisest and most patriotic cit
liens.
He thinks this much safer and
saner way to proceed than by shreds
and patches, as has been the custom Of
late years.
For some reason or other, however
Mr.. Edmondson's proposition does not
seem to have caught on like wild fire,
exactly!
few newspapers have applauded
the idea. more or less cautiously and in
a reserved sort OF way, a few more
have elected neither to view with alarm
nor point with pride, while several have
rejected the proposal fatty, and viii
nave none of it!
The general opinion seems TO be that
the state really ought to have a new
constitution-or, at least could use one
in it's busness-but the inclination to
begin the tinkering is not rampant.
Not a few think it better to bear the
ills we have than fly to those we know
not of-in short, they are scared of the
proposition, and approach it ginger1y
and with circumspection.
In these circumstances, therefore, the
prediction seems warranted nowadays
that the incoming Legislature will not
start the new constitution machinery
going so fast that it can not be stopped
with ease when the stopping time comes
which it bids fair to do pretty soon
after the bill is introduced.
or course. conditions may be diff
ferent when the Legislature gets to-
gether, and the proposition may have
much smoother sailing than now seems
likely
The probabilities, however, are al,
and very much. the other way
