[E ntei ed in the Post-Ofiice as a Newspaper:
Legislation in. the Constitution.
It is a disappointment to find that the
convention now engaged in a provision
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- slrength of our American Consti-
tutions from the first. was that they
i‘ :11 died certain broad princi- , _ _ .
S mply e be - ren, Mass, it is very liable to lead to
ples of liberty and law, which furnished
all the restriction it was necessary to
impose upon the machinery of 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.
'Ihe distrust of Legislatures, engen-
dered largely by the development of par-
tisan organiZation and the growth of
corporate power and influence, has been
a most conspicuous feature in our re-
cent political histcry. The people felt
that they could not trust their Legis-
latures as they had done, and when,
from time to time, they reumed 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 theConstitution, dealing with L
such incidents as cannot rightly be reg-
ulated by immutable rule, and thus of-
ten laying a positive restriction upon
legitimate progress.
The bad efl'ects ofgthismistaken 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
{flute 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 Inge number of the
amendments prelim-ed 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
lundamental law they are not on-
ly oilt 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 employee 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 u:‘- could not be enforced and should
not be attempted
The amendments referred to in the
protest of the manufacturers relate only
ti: 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
which 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 affairs of life, there will be
ground for those who contend that pop-
ular government is a failure.

Organization/Sketch of the Career
of the New Commander—The
other Officers Elected.
. Prr'rsnu to, Sept. lat—Business and
activity characterized the lobby of the
new Grand Opera House at an early hour,
and long before thevsecond day’s session
of the Grand Army convention opened
there was a cro'wd of lobbyists at work in
favor of their several candidates for office.
‘ As nominations were only made yesterday
departments that had candidates for the
other national offices were busy button-
holing delegates as they made their way
into the convention hull.
New York some out with Philip
Biglin for junior vice commander, a
Louisiana had an opposition candidate in
the person of Charles H. Shute. Both
sides, of course, were confident. The two
candidates for the highest ollicc in the gift
to the convention early. Colonel Thomas
G. -Lawler arrived at 9:15 a. m., with all
his department delegates.
The first business before the convention
Major A. P.
Burchfield of this city was nominated for
senior vice commander in chief, and as
there was no opposition was elected unani-
mously.
A Louisiana Man Elected. -’
For junior vice commander Corporal
Tanner proposed Philip S. Blglin. When
Charles Shute was put forward in nomi-
nation for the same office by the present
department commander of Louisiana, Mr.
‘ Biglin withdrew, and Charles Shute xvii?
elected without a ballot.
The next election was that for surgeon
general. Comrade O. W. Weeks of Ma~
rion, 0., was without opposition and was
unanimously elected.
Chaplain in chief was the next elective
office. For this Chaplain T. H. Hagger-
ty of St. Louis and Comrade Southard of
Maine were nominated. Southard then
withdrew, and Haggerty was elected.
Then the nomination of members of the
council of administration began. While
this was going on the presidents and na-
tional officers of the ladies of the G. A.'R.
and the W. R. C. entered the convention
hall and were loudly cheered.
Colonel Thomas G. Lawler of Rock-
ford, Ills., was then elected commander
in chief by amajority of 11 votes over
Colonel I. N. Walker of Indianapolis. It
was the closest contest for the 013303 in the
history of the G. A. R.
Thomas G. Lawler's Career.
Colonel Lawlcr is a selfmadc man. The
high position he has attained in lifeis due
to his rare and
rugged honesty,
his uliquestion-
able courage and
his exceptional
ability. Although
English born, he
has a backbone of
American princi-
ples. His army

17 following 110 reenlisted for three years
as a private in Company E of the Nine-
teenth, and he saw, with this undaunted
regiment, all the fierce strife and fire
through which the great Army of the
Cumberland passed. On Sept. 17, 1864,
he was honorably discharged. Hls rank
at that time was sergeant. On his dis-
charge he returned to Rockford, Ills., ant.r
has ever since made that city his home.
For a time he was in charge of the
Rockford Bolt company, but afterward
was the head of the planing mill of his fa-
ther-in-law, Joseph Rodd. After that he
engaged in the lumber business, in which
he has always retained an interest and to
which he returned when he retired, from
the postoflice.
Early Member of the G. A. R.
Colonel Lawler was an early member
of Post 124 of the G. A. R., formed at
Rockford in 1866. He was chosen com-
mander when, from the death of the va-
rious other posts in town, Nevins became
No. 1. ‘It has been due to Colonel Law~
ler’s strong personality that this post has
always flourished in pomt of membership,
and to his enthusiasm, too, is largely ow-
ing the place in the Grand Army that Illi-
nois has always enjoyed. Before his elec-
tion to the commandership Colonel. Law-
ler served as past and senior vice com-
mander of Nevins post, and he has now
served as commander for more than one
quarter of a century, a record that has no
equal in the annals of the great organiza—
tion which now seems disposed to elevate
him to its largest office.
His record as a. citizen as well as a sol-
dier is without a blemish. The people of
Rockford have always been ready to ofler
him the highest position in their gift, and
he has repeatedly been compelled to de-
cline the honor of being made mayor. He
was made captain in 1877 of the Rockford
rides, the then crack company of the
country. In 1886 he was elected colonel
of the Third Illinois regiment, national
guard, and served six years. He has also
served with honor as department com-
mander of the G. ,A. R. For 12 years he
ably filed the office of postmaster of Rock-
ford. He is a patriot, a. citizen, 3. busi-
ness man and a soldier such as few com-
munities can boast.
Colonel Lawler was born in Liverpool
April 7, 1844.
