TIE PUBLICATION OF THE DEBATES.

Among the most meritorious laws of the
the bill providing for the publication of
the debates had in the Constitutional Con-
vention. However much we may have
disagreed with the theories which ulti-
mately found expression in the new Con-
stitution, we must recognize the vital i'm
portance of preserving the discussions
which preceded and accompanied the
framing of that instrument. In those de-
bates is embodied not merely the crude
and fallacious ideas of unintelligent and
prejudiced Legislators, but the keenest and
most exhaustive analyses of governmental
theories that the best-trained minds of the
State could furnish. They are an epitome
of the intellectual condition of California
at the time of the Convention, which will
afford instruction and guidance to jurists
and lawmakers, to journalists and orators
and reformers, generations hence. To have
refused to preserve these faithful and COM
plete records of a momentous epoch in
the history of the State would have been
to cast away the readiest and most trust
worthy means of ascertaining the true in
tent and aim Of every provision in the new
Constitution. Hereafter the Courts can
assist themselves in the Interpretation of
doubtful or obscure provisions by referring
to these volumes, and an accurate percep-
ton can be gained of the tendencies of leg
islatiye thought in the same way. There
are no doubt crudities and absurdities in
the debates, but there are also admirable
specimens of clear and sound reasoning.
and arguments ON high topics deserving of
the most careful preservation The his
tory of California would have been incom
plete without these records, nor could
their place have been filled from any other
source They constitute Ill themselves the
fullest account of the revolutionary wave
which swept over the State. They illustrate
the manner 10 which the most radical
and subversive theories may come to take
on an air of plausibifty in periods CT pop
ular excitement. They furnish the KEY to
many perplexing social phenomena, which
would, wanting their illuminating power,
have renamed to battle the historian and
scholar of the future. Their practical use

the Supreme Court as constituting long
and unexpected stride in the direction of
Capitalization. We are obliged to demur
to the word unexpected here, for to us
it seems entirely natural, and even inevi-
table, that the Court should proceed from
one encroachment to another, and as our
readers well know this is but one step in a
series of similar advances in the same gen
eral line of Interpretation. And the Court
has at length reached a stage from which
indefinite usurpation becomes both easy
and probable, for having argued itself into
the conviction that the Fourteenth Amend
ment gives Congress the right to interfere
with State authority whenever any of its
agencies tend to deprive any person of
life, liberty or property, without due
process of law, or "deny to any person
"within its jurisdiction the equal protec-
ton of the laws, as construed under the
broadcast license, it follows that, as Judge
Field points out in his mastery dissenting
opinion, Congress may frame vast por-
ton of the State laws, for there are few
"subjects upon which legislation can
''be had besides life, liberty and prop
"erty." And he goes on to show how,
Gin determining what constitutes a de-
"privation of property, it might prescribe
the conditions upon which property
shall be acquired and held, and declare
"as to what subjects property rights shall
exist. In determining what constitutes
deprivation of liberty it might prescribe
sin what way and by what means the
liberty of the citizen shall be deemed pro-
tected. In prescribing punishment for
deprivation of life, it might prescribe a
''code of criminal procedure. The fact
is that the language of the amendment
was general, though it was intended for
special application, and now that the occa-
sion for its special application has become
less urgent, it is taking on that broader
scope which appertains to it inherently.
We can imagine circumstances IN which
these recent decisions of the Supreme
Court might possess little practical signi6-
canoe, but such are not the conditions
which actually exist, and upon which the
new doctrines must exert their legitimate
influence The tendencies of Congress
have for several years been more and more
in the direction of Capitalization. not from
the growth of any intellectual conviction
that such scheme of government was the
best, but because the increase of corrup-
ton at the seat of the Federal Government
has bred impatience of control and super
vision, and fostered disposition to usurp
those powers control of which will make
American government the facile instru.

SHoEmAKERs' WAx.-Our foreign ex-
changes notice the following curious ex-
pertinent Last year Sir William Thomson
commenced a new and curious experiment
on shoemakers' wax as viscOus material
a large circular cake of it, about eighteen
inches across and three inches thick, was
made ; this was put into shallow cylindri-
cal glass vessel, which was filed with wa
ter to keep the temperature from varying
with any great degree of rapidity. Below
the cake number of corbs were put, and
on the top there were placed some lead
bullets. The result has been that, in a
year, the corks have Aoated up through the
wax and are coming out at the top; the
bullets have sunk down through the wax
and have come out at the bottom and
this, it is to be observed, has gone on while
the wax was at all times in such cOndi-
ton as to be excessively brittle to any force
suddenly applied, such a blow from
hammer, or such as would be occasioned
were the cake OF wax to be allowed to fall
on a stone floor. j. T. Bottomley has been
also experimenting with the same material,
and has constructed miniature glaciers in
wooden channels, which present all the
phenomena of flow seen in real glaciers.

INITIATED AIR.-Dr. willard Parker, in
a lecture before the students of the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons of New
York, used the following apt words !" If,
gentlemen, instead of air. you suppose this
room to be filed with pure, clear water,
and that instead of air you were exhaling
twenty times a minute pint of milk, you
can see how soon the water, at first clear
and sparkling, would become hazy and
finally Opaque, the milk diffusing itself
rapidly through the water. You win thus
be able to appreciate, also, how at each
fresh inspiration you would be taking in
fluid that grew momentarily more impure.
Were we able to see the air as we are the
water, we would an once appreciate how
thoroughly we are communicating it, and
that unless there be some vent for the air
thus vitiated, and some opening large
enough to admit free supply of this very
valuable material, we will be momentarily
poisoning ourselves as surely as if we were
taking sewage matter into our stomachs."

Many times women call upon Their family

another with pain here and there. and IN this
way they all present alike 10 themselves and

arate and distinct diseases. Tor which he pre-
serlbes his pills and potions, assuming them
to be such, when, in reality, they are all
symptoms caused by some uterine disorder:
and while they are thus oAly able perhaps to
palliate for a time, they are -tnOrlnt OF the
cause, and encourage tAcir practice until
large bills are made when the Suffering pa

worse for tie delay, treatment, and other
