have an egg commissioner that will
teach hen owners how to feed and care
for their fowls 30 they Will lay eggs In

more money for the State. Skill and
knowledge count In every occupation, ana
II we are going to maintain a commission
TO teach the butter makers, we can't see
why people en- gagged In other occupations
SHOULD go without recognition. We had
supposed that the state Agricultural
college was competent to furnish all the
education needed in the various branches
OF agriculture, and that self interest would
sufficiently stimulate the people engaged
in that occupation TO take advantage of
It's facilities, but apparently this is not
the case. A dairy commission is also
needed. II the commission is established
it is to be hoped that 1t may be provided
that nobody shall be on 1t who has not
passed an examination before a corps OF
expert butter makers, and demonstrated
his competency to give lessons in butter
making. 1t Is also to be hoped that
after the commission gets In working
order nobody will be allowed to make
and sell butter until he or she has re-
ceived a certificate of competency,
to be given only after the applicant
has made butter in the presence OF the
commission, and 1t has eaten some OF 1t.

The government provided for by the

as Senate and House of Representatives,
and Supreme Court. The President 10
to hold office for four years, and be in
eligible to q third election, prohibition,
which though not in our constitution, is
firmly entrenehed in our public senti-
Inent. The vice preside In Cuba, as
here, is to preside over the Senate. The
Senate is to consist OF six representa-
tives from each of the provinces
oho,en by electors appointed by
the ayuntamientos (municipal assem-
bnes) of each province. 1t Will be
seen that. as with us, the senators are
to be chosen by legislative bodies, and
not by direct vots of the people. The
House of Representatives is to be elecsed
by direc. vote of the people, as with us,
and there is to be one representative for
every 20. 0O1 OF people, or traction thereof
exceeding one half. The rights, priyi-
le2es and immunities OF citizens ara more
specifically stated than in our constitu-
tion, but they are the same as are guaran-
teed by our constitution by few general
phrases. No one but nstive born citi-~
zen can be chosen president, unless he
served In the army Of Independence, and
then hi need only be a naturalizsd olti-
zen. This provision was put In to make
Gsnsral Gomez. who was born In san
Domingo, eligible for the presidency.
There was vigorous attempt to striks
out all reference to the Deity in the pre-
ambls, but 1t failed. Apparently the
islands future relations with this
country are not considered in the consti-
tuition as prepared by the committee, but
this omission may be supplied by the
convention before the instrument is
adopted. The convention hopes 60 com.
plste its work so as to submit the new
constitution to our Congress early in Feb
ruary.

Ths probability OF an extra session OF
Congress grows stronger every day The
senator's do not want one, but they admit
that II Philippine legislation Is necessary
one must be- called. 1t is utterly impos-
sible to pass any at this session. Further
more, IL would be undesirable to PASS any
until the decision OF the supreme Court
in regard to the status of those Islands
has been given. Legislation ena1ted now
on the assumption that Congress has
full power over thes. islam Is wolid most
iikely be completely quashed 10y dsois-
ion of the court that the constitution
followed the flag. Then there is tie
Cuban constitution which will be ready
for Congress by the middle Of February,
but which cannot be acted upon for lack
of time, at this session. Moreover, the
ship subsidy is not likely to get through
THIS session, aud Its failure viii give
rise to demand on the part of Its
friends for an extra session for
the benefit of this measure. The
President has not yet absolutely de-
clded to call a special session, but his in
C ination is very strong to do 50, and is
apparently becoming stronger as the
necessity for legislation becomes more
apparent.
