Thc last, or sixth, Constitutional Convention, which met on May 8th r 1894, ended September 14th of the same year, and during its sessions of over four months, 454 distinct amend- ments were passed upon, only 33 be- ing finally presented and approved of by the people. These amendments made considerable alterations in thc organic law which, with thc excep- tion of thc judiciary article added in the previous convention of 1867, had lasted for nearly half a century with- out change. But twenty years have elapsed since then and thc people have decided to review thc work of this convention with thc object of meeting the changes wrought by the needs of the times. As usual, the majority of the dele- gales were lawyers, 142 out of 168, as compared with 108 out of 168, the number chosen for the approaching convention. In the selection of thc presiding officer, Joseph H. Choatc and thc Chairman of thc most impor- tant committee, Elihu Root, thc con- vention was supremely fortunate. One of thc first acts of this conven- tion was to decide the qualification of its own members and also that the convention itself was a sovcrign body superior to the courts of the state. The convention was not inclined to radical measures, for it appreciated the excellence of the old Constitu- tion. Therefore, it was deemed pru- dent to modify ony those parts which changed conditions rendered desirable. The principal cause for calling this convention was occasioned by the congested condition-of the courts, es- pecially the Court of Appeals. To remedy this an Appellate Division of thc Supreme Court was created and the superior courts of thc cities were consolidated with thc 'Supreme Court. Tt may be mentioned here that the proposal to return to an appointive judiciary found little support in the convention, while an • attempt to shorten the term of the judges from 14 to 8 years was defeated by a large majority. Municipal reforms were undertaken by the cities com- mittee with most commendable pat- ience, with the endeavor of relieving the existing disorder, inefficiency, extravagance and corruption. Cumulative voting, minority repre- sentation, prohibition of special legis- lation and various other Constitution- al remedies of ;i more or less drastic order were undertaken, but because these were of an experimental kind I they were rejected. However, some I iuiprovmnts in municipal government w ere adopted, such as division of cit- ies into three classes, all legislation affecting them directly to be subject [ to the approval of the Mayor, or the I Mayor and the local legislative bodies . in cities other than first-class. For (election reforms personal registration was required in cities and villages containing over 5,000 inhabitants. Hi-partisan election boards also were required and citizenship of at least ninety clays prior to election was provided for all voters. Perman- ence in Civil Service reform was in- sured by installing the merit system of appointment based upon competi- tive examination. Amendments affect- ing public institutions were adopted and sectarian appropriations by the .state prohibited. The reapporlion- incnt of the Senate and Assembly dis- tricts was the only one subjected to violent partisan attacks, but exper- ience has shown that any readjust- ments into districts observing county boundaries will always result in in- equalities. Of the amendments re- jected by the convention, that of Wo - men Suffrage attracted most atten- tion for the vigorous campaign inau- gurated by thc friends of this move- ment resulted in thc circulation of hundreds of petitions. It was sup- ported with great ability and enthus- iasm and so far as the criterion of thc delegates was shown, it had made considerable progress since the con- vention of 1867. I. C. 1. II.

Brewery Officers Acting as Bank Officers Pittsburgh, Pa., March 4.—Thc doors of the German National Bank of this city were closed today and a notice posted that it was by order of the Controller of thc Currency.
