The senate of Rome, which was
an ancient institution, said to have
been established by Romulus him
self, was a purely executive body.

make laws. The senate of the Unit.
ed States is almost purely legisla.

er to make appointments outside OF
the body itself, but only to agree to
those made by the president. And
this is largely formality, as it i,
regarded as a very discourteou.
thing to refuse to confirm presi.
dental appointment.
The Roman senate as instituted
by Romulus consisted of 100 mem.
bers. An additional hundred were
added when the Sabines migrated
from Rome. The first Tarquin in.
creased the number of senators tc
300, at which number it continued
for long time. Julius Caesar in.
creased the number of senators first
to 700 and afterward to 900 mem
bers. Augustus at first added an
other hundred, making an ever
1000, but afterward reduced the
number to 600.
Senators were supposed to be mer
Of special merit. They were at first
selected by the monarch, but the
duty was afterward intrusted to the
consuls and latterly to the censors
No man was eligible to the office

A Roman senator during the ear
" days of the republic made a viz
tue of poverty and gloried in TIN
simple life. But when wealth, vic.
and corruption became more com
mon it was decreed that no mar
could be a senator whose wealth
amounted to less than $4,000 ses
terces, OF about $4,000, because, il
was argued, he could not support
the dignity Of the Office on a les
amount. Therefore when a sena

sum he was dropped from the rolls

FEIeNINe DEATH.
A Trick Rssorted to by Animals te
Shun Their Enen,iea.

a Trick Rssorted to by Animals &c
shun Their Enemies.
The feigning of death by certain
animals for the purpose of deceiv-
ing their enemies and thus secur-
ing immunity is one of the greatest
of the many evidences of their in
telligent ratiocination. This simu-
lation is not confined to any partic-
ular family, order or species Of ami
NAL, but exists in many, from the
very lowest to the highest. It is
found even in the vegetable king
dom, the we'll known sensitive plant
being an interesting example. The
action of this plant is purely reflex,
as can be proved by observation and
experiment., and is not therefore a
process of intelligence.
An experimenter. writing in Wis
sen fur Ale, says that he has seen
the feigning of death in some of
the lowest animals known to sci
ence. Some time ago while exam
ming the inhabitants of drop of
pond water under a high power
lens he noticed several rhizopods
busily feeding on the minute buds
of an algo. These rhizopods, sud-
denly drew in their hairlike 6laria
and sank to the bottom, to all ap-
pearances dead. The cause was
found to be the presence of water
louise, an animal which feeds on
these animalculae. It likewise sank
to the bottom and after looking at
the rhizopods swan away, evident
ly regarding them as dead and unfit
for food.
This was not an accidental occur
renee, for the observer has seen
the same wonderful performance
twice since. Through the agency of
what sense, he asks, did these little
creatures discover the approach of
their enemy? Is it possible that
they and other microscopic animals
have eyes and ears so exceedingly
small that lenses of the very highest
power cannot make them visible, or
are they possessors of senses utterly
unknown to and incapable of being
appreciated by man? Science can
neither affirm nor deny either of
these suggestions.
Most animals are slain for food
by other animals. Most of the car
nivora and insectivora prefer fresh.
ly killed food to carbon. They will
not touch tainted meat when they
can procure fresh; hence when they
come upon their prey apparently
dead they will leave it alone and go
in search of other quarry unless
they are very hungry. Tainted
substances are dangerous to get into
the stomach. Certain ptomaines
render it sometimes very poison
Gus. Long years of experience have
taught this fact to animals, and
therefore most of them let dead or
seemingly dead creatures alone.

The situation in Kentucky where
by a Republican senator was elected
by receiving the votes of four whis-
key Democrats does not seem to be
generally understood. These four men
violated their obligation to the Dem
ocratic voters of Kentucky, as did
certain members of the Roswell city
council. The voters of Kentucky at
the primaries declared their choice
for United States senator, and under
the good old principle of majority
rule Beckham should have received
the solid vote of Democratic mem
bers of the legislature. He had been
regularly elected by the people, and
his endorsement by the legislature
was a merely formal matter to legal
ize the election by direct vote. These
four traitors opposed Beckham be-
cause of his position on the liquor
question, and placing saloons above
party sold out, not to the Republican
party, but to the liquor interests. The
Republican party, however, taking
advantage of the situation, received
the greatest benefit.

The editor of this paper is a Ken
tuckian, and all his early training
was against the principle of prohibi-
ton. His old state has just been sold
out by four whiskey Democrats who
placed saloons above party, and he
is almost convinced that statewide
prohibition is the only solution of tne
liquor problem. High license and To-
cal option are but m~akeshifts, and
must eventually give way to consti-
tutional prohibition and federal stat
wen licenses for the sale of liquor
in prohibition states.

According to the Fort Worth Rec
ord, the fight for state prohibition in
Texas will be made within the Dem
ocratic party. The plan is by petition
to force the state Democratic COM
mittee to place the issue on the pri-
mary ballot of July 25, in the hope
of putting the party on record as fav-
oring the submission of the question
to the vote of the people, and with
this platform demand to elect legisla
tors who will not sell out as did the
four whiskey Democrats in the Ken
lucky legislature.

The Bartenders Union, and other
federated unions of New York make
a weak protest against prohibition
when they base their plea on the
ground that it would throw hundreds
of men out of work who are 10Y en-
of the poison that destroys homes
and makes tramps and loafers of
men. The liquor traffic throws thous-
ands of men out of employment and
brings poverty and ruin to innocent
women and children.

1t is coming nearer every day. The
saloon interests should take warning
from the result at Artesia, and be
careful to make no offensive moves
in the coming city election. A bad
break just now most certainly will
result in a prohibition fight that will
not stop until the saloons are perma-
ne1tly closed.
