FIxING A CONSTITUTION.

FIXING A CONSTITUTION.
The constitution Of the State of Massachu-
setts will be more satisfactory when all the
amendments to 1t now in the works have
been made. One of these amendments, that
providing that the right to vote shall not be
lost by change of residence within six
months of an election, has passed Its critical
stage for this session and is laid by for an
other year. Another, making majority of
each branch of the legislature necessary for
q quorum, has passed the senate. and will
doubtless be adopted by the house, with q
slight amendment, possibly. A third and
fourth, providing for biennial elections of
State officers and members of the legislature,
have also passed the senate and will prob
ably be successful in tho house, though per-
haps not in their present form. Another,
abolishing the tax qualification for voters,
has been tavorably reported.
It Is surprising that Massachusetts, has
been content to adhere go long to the old and
almost obsolete plan of electing governor
and State officers every year. Massachusetts,
Rhode leland, North and South Dakota are
the only States which adhere to it, the terms
Of governors in all others varying from two
years to four. Biennial sessions Of the legis.
lature are now held in thirty-six of the forty
two States, the exceptions being Montana,
New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and South Carolina. There is
much to be said in favor of them, and no
State which has adopted them has shown
any sign of returning to annual sessions. Az
for annual elections for governor, there is
nothing to be said in favor of them.

UOURAGEOUs ma. OATES.

Congressman Oates of Alabama deserves
reelection, even if he does not obtain it. The
Farmers alliance is making 1t warm for
southern and western congressman, by de-
manding that they shall declare their opinion
of the platform of the alliance. Mr.. Oates
declares his with refreshing frsnkness. He
says that some parts of the platform he ap-
proves, some parts he disapproves; but as to
the bill, now before both houses, for estab-
lishing government warehouses to store
cotton, tobacco and grain, on which the
so per cent. of their value, he is
utterly opposed to it, and believea
It to be unconstitutional nonsense. Nor
does he believe in the union between the
Farmers alliance and the Union Laborers'
association. He looks upon 1t as unfortu-
ther: A large psroentange of the profits
which the southern farmer makes on cotton
is what he can realize for seed. Refined
oottonseed oil is clean. pure and wholesome,
and is now largely used in oompounding
with lard, which makes cheaper and
more wholesome article than the pure hog
lard. A bill is now pending In the house,
and favorably reported, to imposs tax, al"
though the government does not need
the revenue, on the compound lard,
to discriminate against 1t In favor of
hog lard. This is directly, to the
full extent of the tax, a burden on
the cotton producer, just in the same way
that tax on cotton ties Is . burden. Yet
the Knights of Labor have, in their grand
council, recommended the passage of this
bill. I am In favor of requiring the manu-.
facturers of articles for interstate commerce
to brand their goods. showing just what they
are, but will never vote to discriminate
in favor of one industry against another.
The principle is vicious.
The voters of his district cannot do better
than to re-eleot Mr.. Oates, even if all his
opinions do not please them. A congress-
man who has opinions and has the courage
to put them before his constituents as Mr..
Oates has is valuable.

A Chance That Senator Teller Lost.
Washington Gossip in the Kansas City Journal.1
Senator Teller told me last night how he
lost 5000, 200. The story made my eyes
bulge out, but the senator related it in the
same cool metallic tones in which he talks
about the weather. Said he: SIT was some
years ago In Leadville that met upon the
street a friend of mine, who asked me to 60
in with him and his partner and buy the
Robert E. Lse mine. The mine had been in
the courts, but the question Of the title had
been settled and it was only necessary to
have 500. 600 to pay off its Indebtedness.
asked how much It would take for me to
como in. He replied that it would take
$45, 900 and this would give me one-third
interest. But said I, raising my hands in
holy horror, 4 haven't got the money, and
would hate to risk it if had.'
"'Oh.' said he, you run ne risk. We have
90 days in which to pay this 500, 900 and we
will work it out of the mine in that time.
You need not put up cent and we will pay
your $45, 900 out of the mine, and in CASE
the mine doesn't pan out at once Ben, my
partner, and will put up the money for
you.'
II said would consider the matter, but
did not think wanted it. For the next two
| days that man hung around nae and begged
me to take'the third interest in the mine.
He told me he could sell it for $45, 900 cash
to another man, but he would rather take
me in for nothing. held out, and at the
end of two days he sold the interest to the
other party. Shortly after this I heard that
the mine way paying, and about two years
later met Ben, my friends partner, in the
Windsor hotel at Denver, and we got to talk
| ing about mining property.
"'You made great mistake, Mr.. Teller,
| said he, Sin not going into the Robert E. Leo
| with u.s.
eyes, I know it, said and I wonder
just how much of mistake did make.
| Suppose you tell me-
"'Well,' said he again, 1--WE got your $45,-
| 600 out of the mine in less than three months
! and you would not have had to pay cent
| on it. The man who took your place stuck
| to us and he cleared within two years just

A Snail,s Mouth.

The mouth of the snail is armed with
very formidable instrument, in the shape of
q remarkable saw like tongue. Probably
you have, ut some time or another, mo-
ticed how cleanly cut are the edges of a leaf
upon which q snail has been regaliDg him
self. 1t is difficult to imagine how such a
aoft and habbY looking animal can have
made such clean incisions. But with an ex-
animation of the cutting instrument COM
cealed in his mouth, wonder on this score
vanishes. 1t resembles long, narrow rib
bon, coiled in such a manner that only y
small portion of it is called into use at once.
Thickly distributed over the entire surface
of this ribbon are an immense number of ex-
cessively sharp little teeth, designed in q
manner which admirably adapts them to
the purpose for which they are intended.
The quantity of these teeth is Incredible
one species, for instance. has been indisputa-
bly, proved to possess as many as 10000 OF
them. The reason for their disposition on a
coiled, ribbon-like surface lies in the fact
that by use they become worn away. As
this happens, the ribbon is unooilsd, and the
teeth which before were wrapped up in 1t, at
the back of the snails mouth, come forward
to take the place of those which have served
their turn. The upper part of the mouth
consists of horny surface against which the
sharp-toethed tongue works. leaf which
ia to be operated upon is caught between the
two, and subjected to a regular fle-like
rasping on the part of the tongue. So ef-
feotive an instrument does this form that
the tough leaves of the lilly may often be
found to be entirely rasped off by 1t.

CONCERNING the disclosures recently
made OF the robberies practiced by Demo-
cratic officials in New York city and the
general prevailing corruption in Tammany
Hall and the Democratic party there,
even the New York Star, a thick and thin
Democratic organ, is compelled to say;
These disclosures are certain to be in
furious, even though they are denied and
disproved. They are calculated to increase
the suspicious abroad that the Grant
ring is quite as domineering and arrogant
AS The Tweed ring was, and that only the
presence in the controllers office OF a
political opponent OF the Grant ring pre-
vents Wholesale looting of the city treas
ury such as WAS witnessed i'll 1870. No
city in any other quarter OF the world has
been so frequently and persstently Looted
by its officials as New York. From Tweed
and Tammanv to Tammany and Mayor
Grant the looteis have been good Demo-
