and excitement of the people. Ulti- mately it is responsible to the people
 so that the "cool and deliberate sense of the community will ultimately pre- vail; but because it is not imnedi- ately responsible to the people it IS only the calm judgment of the people that reaches it.
 Until within twenty years the sen
 stone of the American sovernment be- cause of these facts. It vas consider ed the masterpiece of the constitu- tion" MT. Bryce in his American
 Commonwealth says of it: The method of chosing the sen ate by indirect election has excited the admiration of foreign critics who have found in it a sole and sufficient cause of the excellence of the senate as a legislative and executive author ity."
 Twenty years ago the Populists de-
 handed the election of senators by
 popular vote. How or why it could
 be thought that because the people could not elect legislators who could
 be trusted to select a senator they could elect the senators themselves
 has never been explained. That, how ever, was the substance of their arg,,-
 ment.
 Now, according to the Kansas City Journal, Kansas has out-popped the
 Populists. It has provided for the election of senators, not by popular vote, but by the party in power-by a majority of the majority-by the quintessence of irresponsible majori- ties. The dominant party elects with out the leavening of a majority. The votes of the minority party are not counted.
 Illegal and unconstitutional meth ods arc always to be condemned. Un- constitutional action by lawmaking body is doubly to be condemned. A tLIC oCoIl uSlloIl Ds uASOhoCltI~ tional methods of one of the funda- mental parts of the government-one that has stood the test of one hundred and twenty-five years--and the sub stitution therefor of party tyranny by which the very principles of repub- lican government are wiped out, is be- yond characterization.
 When the Kansas legislators take their seats they twill take and sub scribe an oath or affirmation to sup port the constitution of the United States" If they observe this oath no United States senator will be elected by "a majority of q majority. If, on the contrary, they obey the party whip as applied by the primary elec- tion law, Kansas will have a senator who represents neither the state nor the people of the state, but simply a part of the Republican party in the state.

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two oppoSiEs methods of describing spiral growth The plants that turn to the right in trend in the southern hemisphere; and therefore. for the sake of consistency It may he preferable to describe the two kinds of spiral tendency as re spectively "clockwtse" and counter clockwise." which latter can be short ened to "counterwise." The honey guckle and the hop turn ''clock wise. while the convolvulus and the scarlet runner bean twine "counterwise." Ex perlments made by growing scarlet run ner beans in opaque cylinders. to dis. cover whether the deviation of the twist was innate or merely from the direction of the light. disclosed tht fact that tho plant possesses an inclina tion resembling the instinct of animals of proceeding in given direction, and resents any attempt to force 1t other wtse.
 What a Mans Beard Tsiis. "You can tell some of mans habits and read some of his traits of charac. ter from his bcard," said the old bar Der. If n man spends his days at . desk beside window his hair and beard will grow faster on the side to Award the window. Plants and boards both flourish under the influence oi sunlight Why. one of my customers found the effects of the side light SC pronounced that he changed his office l desk to face the window. Another in I teresting fact Is that. when man 1. up late or works long hours, he needs . shave oftener than if he took the usual amount of sleep. That's because In being awake he keeps the vital proc esses of his body in greater activity than when asleep. The growth of thu hair depends largely on the circulation of the blood. and the heart slows dowr when we sleer. ".-KanSas City Star.

Alexander Hamilton, writing of the lrufted States Senate, said
 / "As the cool and deliberate sense ments and actually will in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of it's rulers, so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some Irregular passions or some illicit ad- aQantage, or misled by the artful mis- waypresemations of interested men may weall for measures which they them tNselves will afterwards be most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens. in order to check the misguided career and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice and truth Can regain their authority over the public mind ? What bitter anguish would not the people of Athens have often escaped if their government had contained so provident safeguard against the tyranny of their own passions? Popu- lar liberty might then have escaped the indelible reproach of decreeing to the same citizens the hemlock on one day and statues On the next"

Wax From Sugar Cane.

The West India Committee Circular
states that application has been made
for patent for process of extract
ing wax from the sugar cane. 1t seems
that the rind of the cane contains a
certain proportion of wax. which has
hitherto been lost with the refuse. BY
the new process this wax is now recor-
cred from the filter refuse and turned
to commercial uses. being very similar
in its characteristics to beeswaX or
Carnauba wax. which can be used for
precisely the same purposes. The wax.
which resembles that now used very
largely for making cylinders for SO
called talking machines, is exceedingly
hard and capable of taking high pol
ish. 1t is understood that many facto-
ries in Java will this year be using
this process.
