vote again until they become full
American citizens,-is not this in the
nature of an ex post facto or retro
active law?' My answer Is: There
are no limitations upon the power of
the people to amend or revise their
constitution, in any way or at any
time they 80 determine, except as that
power is limited by the constitution of
the United States.
The people of the State have the
absolute legal right TO determine for
themselves the qualifications of elec-
tors, and to determine what they shall
place i'm their organic law. The rule
is settled, that the people when
called upon to vote upon proposed
amendment to their constitution, are
not obliged, like legislative bodies,
to look carefully to the preservation
of vested rights; they have the abso-
lutte power to determine what princi
piles are best calculated to produce
good government. to promote the
public welfare, and to secure the
safety of the State. But there is moth
ing in the shape of vested rights Sc
cured by constitutional enactment,
relative to the elective franchise. Par
ticipation in the elective franchise is a
privilege, rather than right; and il
is granted or denied, on the grounds
of public policy.
As have already said, except as
limited by the national constitution,
the whole subject of the regulation of
elections, including the prescribing of
qualifications for suffrage, is left to
the several states. The people declare
in their state constitutions who shall
be qualified electors, but the power to
amend or REVISE their constitutions
still remains in the great body of the
people as an organized body polite,
who, being vested with ultimate SOW
ereignty and the source of all state
authority, have power to amend, at
will, the constitution which they haye
made. The people haye the power,
and it is for them to determine when
and under what circumstances they
will exercise it.
In this case, the people of the State
of Michigan, by an overwhelming ma
iority, have determined who shall be
qualified electors. They have placed
their decree in the constitution of the
State, and from that decree there Is
no appeal, and there it must stand as
the supreme law to be obeyed by all.
Yours truly, FRED A. MAYNARD,
Attorney General.

Mr., Duncan, writing OF the sun
flower, says; The Russians estimate
that the stalks and leaves OF one crop,
II left ON the land, will manure the
soil sufficiently to yield six or more
crops consecutively without additional
fertili1ing. The roots OF the stalks
soon rot In the ground and leave about
one ton OF manure per acre In the soil,
which Is very fine for the next crop,
The plant requires but little attention
and labor after planting. When II is
about ten or twelve inches high, the
soil should be thoroughly cleaned OF
grass and weeds. That Is all that will
be required until harvest. Harvest
time varies according 10 soil, climate
and exposure OF the flower to the sun.
The usual time Is fixed from Sept. TO
Oct rs. When the seeds are fully ripe,
the heads OF the flowers are cut from
the stalks and placed in drying
sheds for the purpose Of curing
them, the same as curing leaf tobacco,
When the flower Is fully dry, the seeds
are threshed from the cups, aud
screened and run through fan mill,
and are ready for the seed MILL In
conclusion, Mr.. Duncan says: after
carefully examining every feature OF
this new and novel industry, as con.
Quoted by the Russians, l am induced
TO believe that with ourimproved modes
OF farming, together with our climate
and soil, the cultivation OF the sun.

means We notice that our modern

circumstances In which they are placed
that much more thought must be given
to their work. II is not simply a mat
ter OF putting In one or u few crops
that have their long and regular
periods OF seed time, culture, and har-
vest; but such variety must be
selected as to most fully occupy both
the farmer and the soil. Crops In
which skin In growing, harvesting and
marketing count for much, are chosen.
The farmers who may readily supply

The caulilower, like celery, thriyes in

and again that corn does better with

require much water Is affected more
by too much than the quantity. The
luscious watermelon does not grow In
wet soil, where the celery is at home,
