SIX CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

Governor Goldsborough has begun
public advertisement of the six Con-
stitutlonal amendments to be voted on
next November. Their advertisement
is for the purpose of allowing voters to
give them careful attention before voic-
ing their opinions at the polls.
+ Allowing Baltimore city to take
possession of property which has been
condemned for public uses Immediately
after the condemnation award has been
made and the money rendered. This is
intended to avoid long delays due to the
present provision that the city cannot
take possession until the last appeal has
been decided in court Ia future, if
the court decides, subsequent to the
acquisition of the property, that the
city did not pay enough for it, the
city remaining IN possession meanwhile.
2. Allowing the Legislature to act on
bills which have been printed and not
engrossed. This will mean a large
saving in expense, as well as greater
accuracy and rapidity in the prepara-
ton of legislation
3. Providing an additional Judge for
the Third circuit, consisting of Balti-
more and Hartford counties, on account
of the increase of court business there.
A. Permitting the Legislature to
excuse the vote-sellers from any penalty
for bribery, IN order that he may inform
on the vote-buyer without any risk to
himself.
5. Raising the salary of the States
Attorney for Baltimore city from $4,000
to S5400, and that of his chief deputy
from $4,000 to $4,000; also increasing the
salaries of other assistants in his office
from $500 to $500 each.
6. Authorizing the Legislature to in
crease the salary of the Attorney
General, which is now $4,000, and pro
viding for the appointment of deputies
and assistantssto him. This paves the
way for the creation of ali efficient
State Law Department.
These amendments are all worthy of
general support. Theyf represent
changes in the fundamental law of the
State which conditions have made
necessary, and it is to be hoped that, in
the confusion of contests over Offices,
voters will not lose sight of them.

shut "good and proper.
Part of the gang stopped in

and Mr.. Lewis, who was stand

kept them from killing him by
shielding his body with hers, at
the same time pleading for his

Joe Taylor corner, where Joe
Fetzer had stopped with Nose

them his pocketbook which con-
tanned more than fifty dollars
then ordered old Mr. Sweeny to
call Joe Sweeny out, and when
he came and secretly dropped a
fine pocket knife where young
Nose could find it, they found he
had no pocketbook. Joe Fetzer

said he could, and at once found
