THE oRANKs MusT WAIT

Commenting on the failure OF the
people Of Delaware to call constitutional
convention, the COurisr-J Journal says:
II is not improbable that they were
afraid that the proposed reforms"
would be carried to an unreasonable
extent that q convention called to revise
the constitution would undertake to
make one altogether new; that it would
introduce alterations and phrase
ology from mere caprice; that 1t
would frame an instrument more
nearly resembling code OF laws than an
old fashioned constitution; that 1t would
put Into this code many incongruous pro-
visions and many crude ideas that had
never been discussed before the people,
and that, BY these means, it would lay
the foundation for much costly and vexa
tious litigation, extc auing through many
future years II any OF the people OF
Delaware entertained such fears as these,
as seems probable, they had only to read
the history Of recent Kentucky expert
ment to obtain the strongest possible
proof that their apprehensions were not
without reason
That represents the situation with the
accuracy and faithtulness Of experience
The people Of Kentucky called con
vention to revise their constitution In
four or five particulars, and the dele
gates, several OF whom were candidates
for office, expended 100000 in con
cocting a new and curious instrument
which changes the whole fundamental
law.
The new constitution will be rejected
by the people and all OF the candidates,
who thought they we're winning popular
esteem by proposing all sorts Of move
vagaries and reforms for the regulation
Of matters, which can only be regulated
by parents, by school masters, by polio,
officers and by the Legislature, an,
thereby gain some advantage in th'
nominating convention, have all beer
ignominiously beaten.
They were demagogues. Many Of tn
men who have urged constitutions

gogues.
Demagogy is prevalent now, becsus
the people Of the country have been s
heavily taxed that they feel like getting

This Republican party has spread tn
doctrine that all ills. private and public

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

The resignation Of Secretary Noble

Hon. Henry w. Blair Of New Hampshire
Mr. Blair is now drawing the salary Of
the United States Minister to Pekin, but
the Chinese don't want him and won't
have him. The work Of that Office is
still performed by the accomplished gen
tleman whom Mr. Blair was to supersede,
the Hon. Charles Denby of Indiana
There Is an appropriation for the salary
OF only one Minister to China. Ii seems
that Mr.. Blair has been getting it ever
since he received the commission to the
Office. Where Col. DENLY comes In Is not

himself bound to provide for that unfor-

several existing complications by getting

We have no doubt that IL Blair had the
piok Of all the offices open to human am
bition, short Of the Presidency itself, he
would eelect this very same post Of use-
fulness. In the Department of the
Interior he would be happy enough to

Rare Botanical Curio Owned BY = Ken

Arnold Brinkworth, who owns perhaps
the finest private botanical collection in
the country, and whose greenhouses
near MT. Sterling, KY, are filed with
the rarest and most delicate plants Of all
nations, Is exhibiting with much pride
specimen of the Fleur de Lune, the exist
ence of which has often been doubted,
but which was sent Mr.. Brinkworth a
few months ago by friend residing near
ObYdos, Brazil.
1t was obtained for him from an Indian
who found IL growing Ia swamp in the
depths Of the Amszonian forests and Is
the only specimen which has ever reached
this country alive. Those who have besn
favored by glimpse Of the curiosity say
1t is delicate tenacious vine, covered
with small, glossy leaves OF bright and
very tender green, climbing to a height
of four or five feet, bearing here and
there a milk-white blossom of disk-like
shape.
When the moon Is in its first quarter a
distinct shadow or stain Of deep yellow,
which seems rather In than out OF the
flower and corresponding to the shape OF
the moon, makes its appearance on this
disk and grows as the planet does until
when it Is at its size, the yellow stain
covers the entire flower As the moon be-
gins TO waue again this retreats In same
ratio and finally disappears altogether to
return once more as the new moon is seen

When the planet sets the flower closes
and does not unfold until the moon rises
on the following night. 1t pursues its
course month after month whether
placed in open air or kept In hothoase,
though under the latter circumstances
the yellow tint is much paler and more
undecided, while the white surface takes
on dingy, unhealthy tinge. The plant
subsists almost entirely on air, its roots
being barely covered with little moist
gravel
