STATE CONSTITUTIONS.

Something has been said in these
columns from time to time regard
ing the tendency apparent in many
of the States to overload the consti-
buttons thereof with provisions
which might be more fifty left to
legislative enactment. This is
tendency upon which the trainers OF
constitutions, such as those which
are being prepared for the coming
new States in the West, should be
on their guard. We notice that the
constitutional convention Of North
Dakota has had the advantage OF
reminder of this sort from Judge
Cooley, whose eminence as a constr
tutional jurist gives his advice pecu-
liar weight. Upon being invited to
address the convention at Bismarck,
he said that, though scarcely feeling
it to be within his province to adj
wise the convention, he would ask
the members to remember In their
notwithstanding that times and
men change, and he added in words
which might be pondered with
profit in almost every State IN the
Union: Don't, in your constitu
tion-making, legislate too much. In
your constitution you are tying the
hands of the people. Don't do that
to any such extent as to prevent the
legislature hereafter from meeting
all evils that may be within the
reach of proper legislation. Leave
something for them; take care to
put proper restraints on them, but
at the same time leave what prop
erly belongs to the field of legisla
ton to the legislature of the future
You have got to trust some one in
the future, and it is right and proper
that each department of government
shonld be trusted to perform its
legitimate functions" It would be
better for the country if this advice
of Judge Cooley, the fruit of an ex-
tended and ripe experience, were
kept more in mind by constitution
makers. What our constitutions
would lose in length they would
more than make up in strength and
in the reverential regard of the peo-
pie Bradstreet.

Now we have commodious steamers.
In the good old times We could only
communicate with the plantations at
the other end of the island by means
OF the post, once a month or so, or
by sending a special messenger a
five hours journey. Now we have
the telephone, and if any machinery
goes astray we can communicate with
the agents and have it attended to at
once. And in the good old present
we can only get communication with
Maui about once a week, and with
Hawaii once in ten days. AS soon
as the cable is laid, the present will
have become the good old times, and
in the then present we shall have
daily communication with the chief
points on these islands. The advan-
tages of the inter island cable will be
far greater than probably even it's
projectors foresee. Many people re-
gard the telegraph as useful merely
OF disseminating news with great
rapidity. This certainly is one of
Its advantages, but commercially it's
use Is OF the greatest value, and for
the purposes of government in an
island Kingdom like this, it is of
paramount Importance, while for
police purposes it is simply invalu-
able.

STEAMSHIPS AND CABLES,

The propositions which Mr.. Hugh
Il. Reid of Australia has gone to lay
before the Government at Washing.
ton are two-fold: he wants a subsidy
for telegraph line between this
country and Australia, and he wants
another subsidy for fortnightly
steamship line between this port and
Sydney. It is not worth while now
and here to discuss the question of
subsidies on its abstract merits, for
the Presidents inaugural defined the
policy of this Administration to be
in favor of using portion of the
surplus In subsidies to steamship
lines, The only question that is left
open for discussion is the merits or
dement's of this or that applicant for
subsidy.
The case of the telegraph may be
considered separately. So much
money is paid every year by Amer
lean citizens for telegraphic mes
sages to Australia. They cost about
$3.50 per word. How much Amer
leans paid last year we do not know.
Mr.. Reid says that Australians paid
$2,5OO,OO0 for cable messages. OF
course the colonies could afford to
pay out of the colonial treasures
large annual subsidy to new line
which offered to do the business
as Mr.. Reid says his company offers
to do-for less than one-half the
money. So we-if Americans pay
$25O,OOO year, as they probably do
for cable messages to Australia at
$3.50 per could afford to grant.
subsidy to company which Of
fered to do the business for half the
present rates.
Mr.. Kenaston will be supplied with
letters of introduction to the French
Ministers of public works and agri-
culture, and to Minister Reid.
As to the steamship line, it is clear
that If any steamship line deserves a
subsidy it is line which aims at
creating new trade and opening up
new markets. It is hard to Justify
a subsidy for line from New York
to Havana. Between these points
there is trade established which
ought to sustain steamship line
without Government aid; but be-
tween San Francisco and Sydney
there is as yet only a limited inter
change of commodities. Our reci-
procal trade is in its infancy, and
without subsidy it may be that a |
line would have hard scraping to |
live. This is precisely the case |
where subsidy would do good.
Of course, subsidies could only be
voted by Congress to steamship and
telegraph lines which had a ter
minus at this port. We have no in
5erest in lines running to British
Columbia, and not dollar would
be voted to aid them. If Mr.. Reds
enterprise is based on commercial
principles, his ships sand his wires
will come here, and we think they
would get subsidies at Washington.
+ his enterprise is political, he is
Wasting his time here. London
nd Ottawa are the places to which
le should apply.-[S. F. Exchange.

AntiseptiCs in Drinks and Foods.

Since salicylic acid has been prohibited for
the preservation of drinks and foods, some
brewers have undertaken to use benzoic acid
for the preservation of beers In doses of
five to six grams to the hectolitre, benzoic
acid, If not especially poisonous, is at least
active in preventing to noticeable extent
the assimilation of the albuminoids. and in
modifying the mucous secretions. From this
result digestive troubles in those persons who
continue to use it for any length of time.
Notwithstanding the small amount used in
dustrially, it is probable that this use should
be prohibited, as is that of salicylic acid. Az
antiseptics interfere with the normal digest
i've powers of the human system, and conse-
quently with proper nutrition, and it is neces-
sary that their use in the industries should
come to an end, says Science

A Device for Secret Writing.

A device for secret writing by means Of
the typewriter is the subject Of recent in
vention. 1t requires two typewriters SINH
larly adjusted. They are so constructed that
the types can be shifted from their normal
position; so that the operator, striking the
key in the usual way, really writes other let
tiers than those in his copy, forming cipher
copy. Tho receiver adjusts his machine in
an opposite direction and writes from the
cipher copy, and his machine records the let
tiers of the original copy. The principle, says
Mechanical News, is very simple and at once
suggests the possibility Of applying the prin-
ciple Of the combination lock to such con-
trivance for all typewriters, SO that each
owner of machine can set it to any combi-
nation, which only be and his correspondent
should know. This must be feasible; and If
the new invention is of any use at all its use
funess would be much increased by such
plan,

srAcHYs, THE NEW VEGETABLE.
Stachys tuberifara, formerly Affinis, is the
new botanical name Of this vegetable which
Is q native OF north Africa, but comes to Us
from Japan, where it is called Chiro-gi. 1t
is allied to the English ornamental Wound
wort, and belongs to tho same family as the
coleus and the sweet scented herbs, lavender,
thyme and mint, but differs from all Of its
relatives in that it yields edible tuberous
roots.
These roots are formed Of ring like ridges,
giving them the appearance Of a one horned
caterpillar, as shown in the illustration. It
Is one to three inches long and one-half to
threefourths Of an inch in diameter. The
skin Is thin, smooth and semi-transparent.
This peculiar vegetable requires no more
special treatment than do potatoes. Planted,
whole tubers, in hills two feet apart, yield
at the rate Of nearly 500 bushels to the acre
has been reported The plant, growing about
one foot In height, has q round, bushy habit,
having medium sized oval shaped leaves and
many small pink blossoms. The illustration,
drawn from nature, shows a plant two
months old and before the flowers appear.
When the tubers are picked alone and prop
erly seasoned or mixed with small cucum-
pers, onions, peppers anu cdull1o"ef pichioS'
they are excellent
Cooked as vegetable oysters" they are de-
licious, or boiled, mashed and seasoned in the
way Of the egg plant they become a novel
dish, having a pleasant and somewhat spicy
flavor, midway between the Jerusalem arti-
choke and boiled chestnuts.
A point in favor of stachys is that the roots
may be kept as well as potatoes In the gar
dening Journals Of Europe some discussion
has occurred as to popular name for this
vegetable, some suggesting stachys, or spi-
rails, others crosnes, OF Chinese artichoke.
American Garden, from which the above
was taken, thinks that stachys cannot be i'm
proved upon.

In all diseases of the nasal and mu-

has been slow to learn this. Nothing
satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powders or syringes be-
cause they are all irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected surfaces
and should be abandoned as worse than
failures. A multitude of persons who
