AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION

The question now arises Does the Governor
action in pocketing the bill providing for the
submission of the Heath constitutional amend
ment to a vote of the people in June operate as
defeat OF the Observation-Disclosures Rosa Dem
ocrat.
There is reason to believe that it does
not postpone action upon it. 1t certainly
does not defeat it. The words of the Con-
stitution do not disclose an intention to
make executive sanction a necessary part
of the method of submitting an amend
ment to the vote of the people The con-
currence of the houses, by given large
vote, Is necessary vote which would
override the executive veto if taken after
the Governors disapproval. But in the
passage of an ordinary bill no such vote is
necessary. 1t would seem, therefore, that
the intention was TO have concurrence of
the houses only, and that executive sane
ton was not contemplated. These remarks
present the ISSUES in the matter. Incl
dental to them are strong positions in sup
port of the theory that the Legislature alone
is to act in submitting proposed amend
ment to the people.

THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

| From the Sunday States we learn that at
the New Orleans Exposition the receipts
, indicate marked increase in attendance.
Our contemporary believes that there is no
obstacle in the way of sustaining, or even
augmenting this increase up to the end of
May. More vigorous exertions on the
part of the management will largely con-
tribute to this end As the magnitude and
attractions of the Exposition become more
generally known, and the misapprehen-
sions concerning it are removed, the task
Of securing visitors grows less and less diff
fcult Those who have visited New Or
leans recently, the States asserts have been
very favorably impressed, and their re-
ports will have material weight in remov-
ing the unfavorable opinions formed and
promulgated by the first corners. At the
outset, continues that paper, every condi-
ton was unfavorable to the successful
prosecution of the great work. Continuous
bad weather, and consequent stoppage of
work; interruption of car travel to the
grounds; dissatisfaction of exhibitors;
lack of means and other causes, tended to
create doubt Of an ultimate satisfactory
issue. Visitors came here from all parts of
the country at and Immediately after the
opening of the Exposition, expecting to
ha 81 oil how IoI
seen in print. They were led to believe
that scene Of dazzling enchantment
would be presented to their gaze; that a
palace of stupendous size, teeming with the
arts, treasures and products of the world
would be thrown open to them; that
tropical groves and gardens and crystal
lakes would gladden. their eyes and
captiyate their senses that all the
delightful wonders of dream and fairy
land would be unfolded to them. In
all this they were disappointed, and
huge wooden and glass structures incom-
plete and filled with unpacked cases and
busy workmen greeted their eyes, while
every foot of space was Uttered with the
debris of preparation. Whether this lesson
will be of any value to future exposition
management remains to be seen; but GER
tainly it is possible to have an exposition
ready upon the day advertised, and the first
management to prove this true, will reap a
rich reward, Unreadiness at the time an
nounced for opening, has proved the ruin
of many a worthy exhibition.

THE POsTOFFICE.

A dispatch this morning states that the
Treasury officials have taken no steps
toward erecting the Federal building in
Sacramento provided for recently by Con
gresS, because Sacramento has not recon-
mended any persons for Commissioners OF

because it was not known that Sacramento
is expected to do so. There will certainly
be no delay now that the authorities here
know what is desired of them.

THE Work OF ALcHEMIsTs. = The
Arabians no doubt derived their ideas OF
the transmutation of metals into gold. and
the belief i'll immunity from death by the
use of the philosophers stone, from China.
Among all the metals with which the
alchemists worked mercury was pre-emi-
nent, and this is stated to be really the
philosophers stone, of which Geber. Kalid
and others spoke in the times of the early
caliphs. In China it was employed exces-
slvely as medicine. On nights when
dew was falling sufficient was collected to
mix with the powder of cinnabar, and this
was taken until it led to serious dis
turbance of the bodily functions. In the
ninth century an Emperor, and in the
tenth Prime Minister, died from the eff
fects OF an overdose of mercury. Chinese
medical books say it takes 200 years to pro-
duce cinnabar, in 800 years it becomes
lead, in 800 Years more it becomes silver,
and then by obtaining 4 Transforming SUBJ
stance called "vapor of harmony it be-
comes gold. This doctrine of the trans
formation of mercury into other metals is
1000 years old in China.

REVOLUTION IN CANE SUGAR MAKING
One Of the largest sugar plantations, and
the most expensive in point of labor and
paraphernalia is that of Ex-Governor
Henry c. Warmoth, in the parish of
Plaquemines. He has devoted years of
personal study in simplifying labor and
reducing the cost of production on his
place, and now it is formally announced
he has been singularly successful. BY the
use of a SHREDDER, which he had made
to order, he was enabled to increase the
product of juices largely over any former
exhibit, and he states that had he known
how to handle the shredder at first
as he learned by experience later he
would have made 100000 more on his crop
than he did. As it was, he was enabled to
produce l95 pounds of sugar from ton of
cane, where, at the beginning of the sea-
son, he only obtained 13S pounds, and
where he got only an average of 143
pounds in 1888. Government experts have
spent some weeks on the plantation, and are
now preparing their report, which will no
doubt, produce quite a sensation when
given to the public. 1t will show that for
100 years the Louisiana planters have
been merely experimenting in sugar
making, and that not till now have they
learned how to separate the juice from the
bagasse and produce the sugar in earnest.
