It is a disappointment to find that the convention now engaged in aprevision of the Constitution of the State of New .York has fallen into the same error from which so many other States have lately suffered, of incorporating detail- ed legislation into the organic law. The great Strength of our AmericanConsti— tutions from the first was that they simply embodied certain broad princi- ples of liberty and law, which furnished all the restriction it was necessary to impose upon the machineryof govern- ment which they provided. The Legis- lature was supposed to represent the will of the Commonwealth, and beyond these broad prOvisions for the liberty of the individual and certain directions covering its modes of procedure, its discretion was trusted for such legis- lation as changing conditions might from time to time-require. - - _ The distrust Oilfiegislatures, engen? dered largely by‘thh'development of par: ' t-isau organization and the growth of corporate power and influence, has been a most conspicuous feature in our re- cent political history.- The people felt that they could not trust their Legis- latures as they had done, and when, from time to time, they resumed the sovereign power of the Commonwealth, in a constitutional convention, they have been led to .impose constantly in- creasing restrictions upon legislative discretion. Not only so, but in many States positive legislation has been em- bodied in the Constitution, dealing with such incidents as cannot rightly be reg- ulated by immutable rule, and thus of- "ten laying a positive restriction upon legitimate progress. The bad effects of this mistaken aban- donment of constitutional principles have been so apparent in- many States that it was hoped that the New York con- vention would profit by the common experience, and in the revision of the ,State Constitution would endeavor rath- er to get back to general principles than to take upon itself the functions of the Legislature. This hope has been disappointed, and there is strong reason for the protest which some of_the lead- ing men of New York have already en- tered against- a large number of the amendments proposed by the conven- tion. Many of these would be of ques- tionable merit if embodied merely in . statutes which could .be readily altered if found unsatisfactory in operation; when permanently embodied in the fundamental law they are not on- ly out of place, but seriously threaten the security of the Commonwealth. Some of them are even opposed to ac- cepted constitutional principles, as the sweeping provision that every legisla- tive grant to a corporation shall be re- vokable at pleasure. Some embody as " a fixed rule provisions that cannot right- ly be made of general application, as that the wages of all emplcyes of corpo- rations shall be paid by the week. Oth- ers, as the provisions for a‘court of ar- bitration in labor disputes, embody such restrictions upon individual liber- ty as could not be enforced and should not be attempted. The amendments referred to in the protest of the manufacturers relate only to a single class of subjects; they are numbered in the hundreds, and if they may be taken as a fair representation of the whole they indicate that the New York convention has entered upon a scheme of minute regulation under 3which it is impossible that any great Commonwealth can live and thrive. Trust in the people is the foundation of our American institutions. If the peo- ple cannot trust themselves, but must tie themselves up with practically un- changeable laws relating to the most minute afifairs of life,-there will be ground for those who contend that pop- ular government is a failure. 4. .

" . , The Compo estate, as it is called, lies on the shore at Saugatuck, and extends- ‘ - neffar .back as the railroad. In April,; 1892, John Pettit, who then owned the property, leased it to Ella S. Burnham for 13 months. At the time she secured the lease, Miss Burnham also took a mortgage upon the place for $40,000, advancing that sum. Last May the» lease expired,.and during the time be- tween then and its granting several changes had taken place. Pettit had transferred the estate to William G. Booth, a New Jersey man, who had in' turn deeded'it to John R. Casselberry, of New York. - After notifying Miss Burnham to leave, and not seeing any eVidence of compliance. he decided to compel. her to move. A short time ago a writ of summary process was issued against. her) It was made returnable before Justice George B. Smith, of Westport. The plaintiffs immediately set out to prove their title. They offered as ev1~ dence certified copies of the deeds re- corded with the town clerk of Westport. Justice Smith refused to accept them. The plaintiff was practically non-suited, but at once took an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas on a writ of error. To make the situation still more com- plicated, Miss Burnham has commenced a suit in the Superior Court for fore- closure of the mortgage. Should this be tried before the appeal and she suc- ceed in securing the decree, it would terminate the whole dispute. Superior Court. In the Superior court Wednesday afternoon, Michael McDonald, charged with theft, changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced to six months in jail. Edward Phyfe, for bur lary and arson, also pleaded guilty an was sentenced“ to two years in prison. Harry and Robert Olmstead, charged with assault, changed their plea to guilty and were each fined $1. In addition Harry re- ceived 60 and Robert 30 days in jail. They were arrested on the charge of attempting to kill Henry Whitlock, the former having stabbed Whitlock on Main street, this city. Charles E. Hughes pleaded guilty to assault and was sent to jail for 30 days and fined $1 and costs. Frank Thompson, burglary at Bethel, changed his plea to guilty and was sent jail for six months. George White, charged with aiding in the theft of the bell at the/ Housatonic freight house, stood trial. The jury went out at_12:45 and at_2:30 returned With a verdict of not guilty. - The trial of Winfield S. Johnson, charged with assault, was then com- menced. Fat and Forty.

The secret service division of the Treasury Department has issued circu- lar letters announcing two new coun— terfeit United States notes ; one, a 35 national bank note and the other a counterfeit 310 United States silver certificate. The national bank note counterfeit is on the Fifth National Bank of Cincinnati, check letter “A,” series of 1882, and is calculated to de- ceiVe those who do not give money careful scrutiny. The 310 silver cer- tificate is of the series of 1886, check letter “A,” and is a poorly-executed photo-etched prOduction. Much of the wording is indecipherable and the face of the note is blurred, while the shad- ing around the letters is in Solid black, instead of fine lines, and the note_ should be detected at a glance. ~00 KI of P.

He sai : “If a motorman running his electric car carelessly, runs over another and kills him, it is manslaughter, although it was not his intention to injure him. A motorman running his car at a dangerous rate of speed,~ running over another by reason (if this. dangerous speed, becomesguilty of manslaughter. If persons in, charge of the running of steamboats, railroad trains, electric trolley cars, horse cars or other public conveyances, neglect the duty of using reasonable care, and death results therefrom“ they are answerable for manslaugter. So, too, the master who neglects to use reasonable care in furn- ishing reasonably safe appliances for his workmen, if death results is guilty of manslaughter.” Q.” That Wreckage. For the past week our exchanges, as well as our local cotemporaries, have published stories of the “great amount of wreckage encountered between Southport and the Norwalk islands, timbers, spars and several parts of vessels being found,” and finish by saying “So far as can be learned no vessels have been lost in this vicinity, notwithstanding high seas and north- east winds.” As a matter of fact, the wreckage is the timber from the-old wharf at Wilson Point, which is being replaced by a new one. 0.. Struck by a Train. An unknown man was struck by the 9 :36 west-bound passenger train at the Fairfield avenue crossing, Bridgeport, last evening- Fortunately the train was just pulling out of the depot and was going at a moderate speed which saved the man’s life. The engineer saw the man in time to reverse his engine, but the train did not stop until the man was struck by the pilot, knocking him to the ground. The man picked him- self up apparently nnhurt and walked away congratulating himself upon his close call from a horrible death. —-————~——-<+>-— A Pretty Place. , The Norwalk GAZETTE. says that “Stamford is establishing a reputation as being a. wicked city.” That is not so at all- Stamford is as good as she is beautiful.

Randle’s store at Winni- pauk was robbed last ,Friday night, but the matter was kept quiet in order that the thief might be apprehended. A box containing between $30 and. 840 was stolen. The police were notified and soon after a certain Norwalk constable it is said went to Mr. Randle and told him if he would place the writ in his hands he would capture the thief in less than two hours. But he failed to make the arrest within the time specified. Suspicion pointed .to a young man named William Britto as being the guilty party, a hanger-on at the store and who had been away fora day or two. Mr. Randle located himi ew Ca- naan and yesterday morning t consta- ble drove to that place and arrested him. He was brought’to Norwalk and placed in the station house; and after a while confessed that he was guilty, and im- plicated another young man named Robert Ross as being concerned in the robbery, in fact said that it was Ross who planned it, He said that Ross proposed after getting the money they both start for Texas. . as New York where Ross left him and did not return. He was taken sick and came back to Winnipauk and fearing arrest he went to New Canaan. Ross, is a cigarmaker and is the young man who robbed his brother Alexander of about 830 last Friday night, and left town on Saturday as above .with Britto. Mr. Randle this morning de- cided not to press, the charge of bur- Izlary against Britto‘ audit was changed to theft, on which charge he plead guilty and was fined $7 and costs and sentencedto thirty days in jail.

As yet thenmen have not been located, but the investiga- tions of the police have brought to’ light the fact that the murder is the culm9na-_ tion of a series of robberies which have been committed in this vicinity by the three men concerned in this shooting. Today the team in which the robbers es- caped was traced to Woburn. where it was abandoned. It is also found that the thieves have been making their headquar- ters in that town and have brought there expeditions. In the last three weeks they have robbed about a dozen houses and barns here, taking harnesses, grain,-tools and similar property. It is believed that they were but on a maraudfng expedition when they met Foster. He was return- ing to his home in Burlington when he en. countered the robbers about midnight, one‘niile south of Billcrica Center. The thieves were evidently coming from that place, and when they met Foster’s team promptly ordered him to bolt and throw up his hands, at the same time threaten- ing him with revolvers. Foster complied money he had, about $7. . * The thieves then drove off, and Foster? returned to the house of Benjamin Cox, near by. He awakened the Cox folks and told his story. Mr. Cox and Charles A. Nichols volunteered to follow the robbers with him, and securing revolvers the three men went to the house of Constable Liv- ingston, who joined them in the chase. Near the junction of the Lexington and Burlington road the party saw a carriage by the roadside. Foster was left with his team, and Livingston, Cox and Nichols went forward. They found a manin an- other wagon and promptly pulled him out and handcuffed him. While they Were struggling with the prisoner his two companions came out of the woods near by and attacked the officer and his assistants. ' They exchanged about :‘ilozcn shots, and Livingston and his companions were com- pelled to retreat. The robbers then drove ofi’. . The pursuers returned, to find Fos— ter’s team some distance from where it was left, and nearby Foster lay dead on the ground, with a bullet through his head. The neighborhood was at once alarmed and a party organized to follow the highwaymen. They were tracked as far as North Woburn, but there they dis- appeared, and they have not been heard of since. TEN DIEN EXECUTED. Revolutionists Attempted to Assassins.“ Hippolyte’s Daughter. NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-—-Tlie steamship Ozama of the Clyde line arrived today from Haitian ports. Authentic and reli- able reports from the Haitian capital state that President Hippolyte is in a very dangerous condition. He is extremely nervous and is suffering from heart trou- ble. Any sudden shock and excitement, it is said, would endanger his life. In order to hasten this end, his enemies in the revolutionary party about Aug. 29 attempted to assassinate the president’s married daughter, who resides with him at his palace at Port au Prince. The at- tempt proved a failure. _ , Hippolyte at once ordered the arrest of 10 men among the rcvolutionists whohe believed were the instigators of the" plot. These men were arrested and shot within 24 hours. . Great excitement prevailed over the at- tempted plot to kill the president’s daugh- ter; and much trouble is anticipated, owing to the condition of the president and his expected demise.
