THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-
TION.-We have not said ANYTHING
recently upon this question because
we have Regarded the matter set
tied, the only point open for dis
cussion being the proper time for
the election of delegates and the
meeting of the convention. In our
opinion, the election for delegates
should be held in March, aud the
convention should assemble as soon
after as possible, say 10Th April,
and the new constitution submit
ted to popular vote early in the fall.
The fact that no general election
takes place then is fortunate cir
cumstancc. We wish the single
Issue of the adoption of the new con-
stitution to be submitted to the
people, and we wish it done at a
time when there will be no general
organization OF the radicals in this
State.


The time for discussing and par,
leying is past, and we want to see
vigorous, determined action taken.

that goods can be bought cheaper
at one town than another, and, if
left uncontradicted, are liable to
work TO the injury of the town
These matters can all be set right

will fully attest. The people will
buy where they can make the best

merchants and traders letting the

Congress and the President.
WHAT IS TO FOLLOW THE PASSAGE OF THE


LEGISLATIVE BILL.


The passage Of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill by the Senate was
officially announced to the House at ten min
utes after twelve O'Clock to-day. The House at
the time was dividing on vote to order the
previous question on the bill to prevent the re-
mOval OF cases from state to federal courts, and
no action was taken Immediately on the bill
1t will probably be referred to the appropria-
tons committee, and the Senate amendment
increasing the pay Of Senate employees be nom
cOncurred IN and the bill be sent to conference
committee. 1t Is expected that the diff
ferences between the two houses viii
be reconciled without delay, and that the
bill Will be ready to be sent to the President on
Friday. The veto is expected on Monday. AZ
ter it Is received joint caucus OF the democrats
OF the two houses will be held, and the future
line OF policy be mapped out. 1t is evident
that the disposition Is growing among the DEM
ocratic leaders to let the army bill fail. The
legislative bill, though, will certainly be passed
bill fail, it will be sent to the President pre-
cisely as 1t was originally, and the two houses
will adjourn on the day the bill Is sent to the
President. Then the President will call Con-
gress together again, and the struggle will be
renewed.


At half-past O'Clock to-day In the House on
motion of Chairman Atkins, of the appropria-
ton committee, the legislative executive and
judicial appropriation bill was referred to the
committee on appropriations and ordered to be
printed. This would seem to indicate that the
bill VIII hardly be ready to be sent to the Presi-
dent before Saturday.

That the President will veto the legislative
bill as it has passed the Senate, is well known.
The only question is when the veto will be sent
In. II the bill reaches the President by next
Friday, as is expected there is good authority
for stating that the veto Will be sent In Mon
day. II the bill does not reach him until Sat.
urday the veto will be sent in on Monday, the
same. The message vetOing the measure is to
all practical purposes already prepared. The
Attorney General, to whose department the
riders concerning the supervisors and deputy
marshals especially appertain, has furnished
the President with his objections thereto. The
message will not be very long. 1t will hold that

It will be as strong and as much to the point as

THE San Francisco disturbance has grown
out of the methods preached by Kearney
and his following, and is the fruit of his
teaching. 1t has already resulted in the
shooting of one man, and may result in the
mobbing of another, and in general riot.
While certainly in this State there will be
little personal sympathy for Kalloch there
should be strong condemnation of his muir
derer and of the mob that in turn propose to
murder him. Kalloch's murderer has been
until of late strong Kearneyite, and but
carries out the teachings of that school. Kali
loch was the Kearney candidate for Mayor
of San Francisco, and worthy of the support
of the class of men he championed. The
mob that seeks the life of his murderer is a
Kearney mob, acting now under the orders
of Kearney and inspired by his utterances
in the past The whole business is bad
business, calling for reprobation and the
punishment of the murderer-not by mob
but by process of law.

THE chairman of the Franklin Democrat
ic convention told the delegatesa story. He
his boys mathematical question:: "a frog
was in well, he jumped up one foot and
fell back two. How long would it take him
to jump out?" The boy figured away, and
the teacher inquired if he had got through.
The boy said he had not and kept on figur-
ing till the teacher closed the school. The
teacher asked if he was through; he replied
that he was not quite. ''Well," said the
teacher, ''where is the frog now?" II have
him almost to HI" replied the boy. The
inference is that the Democratic party has
got so far down into the well that it is call
ing for help from the other end.

THE Boston Herald is not paper to hold
its peace when wrongs need redressing. 1t
says of the Dixon murder:


The murder of Capt. Harry NJ. Dixon of va
ZOO City cannot fail to have disastrous effect
upon the Democratic campaign in all oil the,
northern States. 1t may be true that the quar-
rel in which he was killed was private and
not public one: but, considering the political
standing of the two men, this theory is not
likely to meet with ready credence. Indeed,
as much as we dislike to believe that such cold
blooded acts are part of the Southern pollti-
cal system, we are constrained to admit that
this persOnal-controversy story bears every
mark of being an afterthought, concocted for
the purpose of cOunteracting the effect upon
current politics which DiXon's death cannot
fail to have. 1t is no doubt true that Gen.
Ewing is in no way responsible for the doings
of the fanatical and murderous Barksdale, and
that Mr.. Fosters election as Governor OF Ohio
would not materially change the dispositions
of the fire-eaters of Mississippi; but the Demo-
cratic party leaders have not treated this Yazoo
county intimidation matter which was the
work of some of their associates with the
hearty denunciaton that the act deserved, and
now that the affair has ended in the murder of
the man who would have been an Independent
candidate, it will be impossible for them to
disdasociate themselves from the outrage. In
addition to the horror which is naturally
aroused by such brutal act, one cannot help
pitying the narrow, short-sighted men who
could even be passive witnesses of such deed.
For the mere purpose of securing political
victory in an insignificant Southern county,
they are willing to imperil the success of their
party in half dozen great States. Such men
are not to be reasoned with, and are mentally
as incapable of exercising the rights of Ameri-
can citizenship as the widest Indians on the
northwest border. They are, in politics, as
criminally careless as are in mining life those
,,,inorS who omen the door of their safety lamps
to light their pipes, knowing all the time that,
by this self-indulgence, they may, at any mo-
ment, blow a score or more of their fellow-la-
borers into eternity.

SUPPOSE, for arguments sake, that the
Centralizing powers of the General Govern
ment were to be asserted exactly as the
Bourbons claim the Republican party would
like to assert them-what would be the re-
suit? Would business be interfered with?
Would society be subjected to any per-
nicious upheaval? Would civilization be
retarded Would our governmental system
be endangered? Certainly not but among
other things that would happen would be
the protection of citizens of the United
States at home as we'll as abroad, and
the enjoyment of the same privileges
of citizenship in the same way in
all of the States, North and South.
The power and dignity of the General
Government would no longer rest upon
rope of sand,' and equable treatment OF
every class of citizenship, high and low,
black or white, would be established the
country over. But all this is what the
Bourbons do not want, and what they will
not submit to, except under National Ad-
ministration characterized by the attributes
of stern loyalty to the Constitutional amend
ments and the most intrepid firmness of
