Mr. tjuay Not a Senator.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Governor Stone lost no time in ap
pointing Matthew S. Quay United States
senator. The constitution of Pennsyl
vania gives the governor no authority
to appoint a senator under any circum
stances, but he pretends this authority
under Section 3, Article 1, of the consti
tution of the United States, which de
clares:
If vacancies happen by resignation or
otherwise during the recess of the legis
lature of any state, the executive
thereof may make appointments until
the next meeting of the legislature,
which shall then (ill such vacancies.
As the vacancy which the governor
assumes to till by this appointment did
not occur during a recess of the legis- ;
laturc, but did occur while the legisla- '
ture was in session, this provision of the j
national constitution does not apply to
this case, and the executive has no
authority to make an appointment.
The United States senate has repeat
edly had this question before it, and in
several recent cases has refused to admit
to seats senators appointed by the gov
ernor to fill a vacancy occurring by the
expiration of a regular term. That is a
vacancy which the constitution distinct
ly provides shall bo tilled otherwise—by
election by the legislature. These facts
cannot be unknown to Governor Stone,
who certainly docs not expect the senate I
to reverse Itself and put a totally dlfTer- '
ent interpretation upon the constitution
from that heretofore held just to enable
Mr. Quay to get a seat iu the senate |
which th§ Pennsylvania legislature de
cided it did not want him to have.
There is no such expectation. Neither
the governor nor Mr. Quay entertains I
such a hope, no matter what may be pre
tended. The appointment is intended
only for political effect. The Quay ma
chine is greatly in need of bolstering, and
this act of Governor Stone is to bolster it.
It is expected to affect the electious of ;
delegates to the Republican state con
vention to be hold in August and to in- I
dieate that Mr. Quay is still in control j
of the federal patronage. As the senate
will not meet until December, and can
not before then reject Mr. Quay's flimsy
claim, he will be carried over the cam
paign of this year, iu which he has a
doep interest, as a state treasurer Is to
be elcctod.
The act of the governor—mere boy's ;
play so far as making a senator is con
cerned—is conclusive, however, on one
point. It is an assurance to the people ;
of the state that there will be no extra
session of the legislature. It is worth j
something on that account.
The Adjourned Legislature.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The adjournment of the legislature
has left the state administration iu such
a shape that it can pinch along as it has
done for the past two years iu a con
dition of linancial default, or, if politi
cal reasons should indicate that advan
tage would result from the reassemblage
of the legislature, plausible excuse may
be urged for calling an extra session.
The governing motive which will doubt
loss influence tbo executive will be a
conviction of the possibility of electing
a United States senator and of the ad
justment of factional quarrels by some
compromise agreement for the distribu
tion of future spoils. If such an ar
rangement cannot be consumated
there will be no extra session.
The history of the legislature just ad
jeurned may be very briefly told. It
has accomplished only routine work,
without having wittingly enacted any
other wholesome legislation. The house
has provod a check to bad legislation
and the senate to proper legislation. As
a result of this deadlock great negative
good has been done. Quay has been
defeated for the sonatorship; the state
capitol job has been blocked; the Re
publican machine has been more thor
oughly divided against itself, and a
hundred petty schemes of jobbery have
been frustrated.
Undoubtedly the failure to pass rev
enue bills adequate to provide for all
justifiable expenditure is a temporary
misfortune; but it is a relief to reflect
that the noney for increased reveuue
remains in the pockets of the taxpayers.
The fact that but few new laws will
go on the statue book must bo set down
to the credit of the legislature. The
more laws the worse. We are goverened
too much.

THE FURPLE BEECH
Lonj Lived and of Undoubted Value foi
Ornamental Planting.
! The large purple beech at Wnl

the Hnest Individuals of this vari

| Downing, who was familiar with tht
I f.yman I'lace, does not, however, men
f tion it in his "Landscape Gardening,'
written forty or fifty years ago; anc
| it Is probable that tlie specimen whlcl
was growing at that time at Throgg'l
! Neck, iu Westchester County, am
which Downing declared was the fin
est in the United States, is now, if stll
alive, much larger than the Waltlinii
tree, which lias lost a good deal frou
overcrowding and from tlie gardei
wall built close to the trunk, whict
lias destroyed the lower branches
There is no tree which demands niort
room for free development than tht
beech; and a beech, standing on
lawn or in a garden, on which then
are 110 lower brunches to sweep dowt
to tlie turf, lias lost a large part of tht
characteristic beauty which makes ii
valuable. The stem of the beech, i. it
true especially of the American spe
cies, has great lieuuty and a chain
peculiar to Itself, hut It is In the wooi '
or iu the forest that this beauty shoulc

sands of individuals, nil sprung from |
a single branch (discovered toward the
middle of the last century upon a tree 1
in the German forest), either directly |
from grafts, and now sometimes by j
seeds; for the plants raised from tlie
seed of a purple-leaved tree preserve j
more or less constantly this character |
to a greater or less degree. The seed
from certain trees yield more purple, I
leaved seedlings than those from other
trees, although the proportion of tlie
purple-leaved seedlings from the same |
tree vary in different yenrs, and
among purple-leaved seeilllugs there is 1
always a great variety of shades of ,
; color. In other words, a race of pur
ple-leaved beeches is gradually hecom- |
ing "fixed;" and if it was not 111 prac
tice more convenient and satisfactory
to propagate the best varieties of this
tree by grafting, it would doubtless he ■

which it originated.
Educating Influence of Arbor limy.
\ The observance of Arbor Day has al
ready led to tlie planting of myriads of !
■ trees in this country. Important as is '
1 Ibis result, the educating Influence of
this work is of still higher value. One
of these educating forces begins when
children are thus led to plant not only
| trees, hut tree-seeds, acorns, nius,
j drupe-stones or pits, and then to ob
serve the wonderful miracles which
j Hie tree life they have started is work
| ing out before them. What interest
and profit, what growth of mind and
i heart they will gain, as they watch tlie
mysterious forces of these living
germs, their marvelous assimilating
J power, carrying ou a curious chemis
try in their underground laboratory,
linked with the mysterious apparatus
of tlie leaves above, transforming
; course earth and even offensive tiltli
into living forms of surpassing beauty
and fragrance. It Is something for a
j child, who has dropped such a germ in
the earth, to feel that he has made n
lasting contribution to the natural
beauty around them for there is noth
ing more ennobling than the con
sciousness of doing something for fu
ture generations, which may prove a
j growing hciicfnctlon in coming years—
| 1 better monument than any In bronze
or marble. The trees which children
plant around the homestead and
- watch the seed, to shoot from hud to
limb, and from flower to fruit, will
lie increasingly prised with n senti
ment of companionship and almost of
j kinship as they grow into living mem
orials of happy, youthful days. Thus,
the educating influences of Arbor Day
| will manifest themselves more and
more ns the years go by, especially
to all who apply Dr. Holmes' advice
mil "make trees monuments of history
ltid character," or appreciate Ills say
ing, "I have written many poems, hut
the best poems I have produced are
j the trees I have planted," or the strik
ing words of Sir Walter, "Planting and
pruning trees I could work nt from
morning till night. There Is a sort of
self-congral illation, a little tickling
self-flattery in tlie Idea that while you
ire pleasing and amusing yourself, you
rrc seriously contributing to the future
, j welfare of the country."

THE INDIAN'S PROPHECY.
But I behold a fearful sign.
To which the white man's eyes art
blind.
Before these fields were shorn out
tilled.
Full to the brim our rivers flowed.
The melody of waters filled
The fresh and boundless wood,
And torrents dashed and rivnleti
played.
And fountains sported In the shade.
These grateful sounds are heard nt
more.
The springs are silent in the sun,
The rivers by the blackened shore.
With lessening currents run;
The realm our tribes are crushed t<
get
May be a barren desert yet.

MOVEMENT IN PLANTS
Trees are living things like our
selves, and this gives them special in
terest for us. I.iviug things have what
we call organs, or instruments by
means of which the life or life princi
pal acts and performs its work. Sc
the trees have many such organs a."
we have, and thereby resemble us.
They have organs by which they take
in food, they have lungs by which they
breathe, and they have organs of di
gestion and a circulatory apparatus,
by which their food is prepared and
carried to all parts of them and causes
tliem to grow and reach their perfec
tion.
The tree cannot move about from
place to place as we and most animals
do. But they are none the less alive
although they remain in the same
place all the time. There are many
pluuts also thai have a limited power
of motion. There are what we call
the climbing plants, which climb
trees or walls just as truly ns boys
often do. Most plants love the light
and sunshine, and these climbing
plants seem to climb up for the pur
pose of getting out or the shade of oth
er plants and securing to themselves
the needed light. So they lay hold of
any upright object near them, a stick
or a tree, and winding around it, or
fastening their tendrils to it, climb up.
Here there is motion all the time, and
it can be seen very easily, especially
when such a climber as the morning
glory fastens upon a short support.
When it gets to the top of this it is
not satisfied, hut wants to go higher;
so you may see it reaching out side
ways and feeling around to And a new
support and it will sweep entirely
around a circle, from right to left or
from left to right, in order to And
something to lay hold of by which It
may rise still farther.
Then there are plants, like the Vir
ginia creeper ami the Japunese and
Knglish ivies, which clinth walls or
other objects by means of tendrils,
which they stretch out like arms, and
which sometimes have at their ends
little disks like the stickers which
boys mnke out of leather and with
which they lift stones and other
things. The Ventts's flytrap shows
motion in a different way. It has at
the end of Its leaves an expansion like
two lenves of a book ready to fold to
gether. or like the shejls of a clam.
Around the margin of these leaves are
bristles, with other more delicate ones
In the centre.. When an insect alights
on the open lenves and touches the
centre bristles, the lenves shut to
gether so quickly that it Is caught and
held there until It dies. Other plants
show motion in different ways. The
locust tree and some others fold tip
their leaves at night as though prepar
ing to sleep, and spread them open
again In the morning. In all trees, al
so, there is in the roots a constant
movement, at least during the growing
season of the year. At the very be
ginning of Its life the root as it sprouts
front tin* seed insists upon going down
ward Into the earth. Turn the sprout
ing acorn so that Its root or radicle
shall point upward, and very soon it
will turn and double upon itself, if
I necessary, In order to tuke 11 down
ward course, and though you turn it
again and again, it will persist in Its
I determination and die If necessary
rather than give ttp the struggle. So
when a tree is established and grow
lug. though Its stem must remain In
I tlie sunte place, its roots are all the
j while pushing out in various dircc
! tions. winding uroiuul obstacles of
' one kind or another in pursuit of tools
! tare and nourishment and making
1 their way steadily on. so that nothing
I will so well describe the clinrncter of
i that part of the tree which is under
■ ground as to say it is In n state of mo-
I lion. Darwin, the eminent naturalist,
goes so far as to claim that all the
| growing parts of plants above as well
j as below ground, manifest voluntary
I motion, describing circles or circular
spirals continually, "circumnutnting."
as he calls this movement. "If we
look." lie says, "for instance, nt a
i great acacia tree, we may feel assured
j that every one of the innumerable
I growing shoots is constantly describ
j Ing small ellipses, as is each petiole,
tnbpetlole and lenflet."
The action of the life principle In the
Irccs also often manifest astonishing
force. Darwin found that the trans
feree growth of the radicle of a
sprouting bean was able to displace a
weight of .1 pounds four ounces in one
rase and 8 pounds 8 ounces In another.
| One can hardly walk where trees arc
| growing among rocks without seeing
Instances of the splitting asunder of
great masses of them by the growth
of the tree roots which have gained
i intrnnee into their crevices when
| small, and in growing have expanded
with Irresistible force. So. also, it is
a common thing to see the walls of
buildings disturbed and much injured
jby the roots of trees growing near
them. Experiments made by Profes
! >r Clark, at Amherst College, led him
| to think that the force exerted liv n
squash in growing was equal to about
S.OOO pounds.
Darwin, speaking of the motion of
die root-tips of plants, says:
"It is hardly an exaggeration to say
that the tip of the radicle, thus eii-
Jowed and having the power of dlrect
ng the movements of the adjoining
Darts, acts like the brain of one of the
lower animals; the brain being sented
within the anterior end of the body,
receiving Impressions from the sense
•rgaas. aud directing the several
movements."
ABOUT PLANT WORSHIP
Carifliu riißtomi of Aaolent Tim.., Som.
of Which Still Survive.
The "plant worship which holds tw
prominent a place in the history of th<
primitive races of iunnkiud would ap
pear to have sprung from a pereeptioi
of the beauty and utility of trees. Sur
vlvnls of this still linger 011 In man,
parts of Europe. The peasants in Bo
j hernia sally forth Into their garden!
before sunrise on Good Friday, and
! fulling upon their knees before a tret
will exclaim: "1 pruy, (> green tree
that God may make thee good." At
night time they will run to and frc
about their gardens crying: "Bud, 0
trees, bud, or I will flog you." In out
own country the Devonshire farmer!
and their men will to this day go out
Into their orchards after supper on tht
evening of Twelfth Day, carrying with
them a Inge milk pall of elder, with
roasted apples pressed Into it. All
present hold iti their hands an earthen
ware cup tilled with liquor, and taking
up their stand beneath those apple
trees which have borne the most fruit
address them in these words:
"Health to thee, good apple tree,
Well to bear pocket fulls, hat fulls,
Peck fulls, bushel bag fulls."
simultaneously dashlug the contents
of their cups over the trees. The ob
servance of this ceremony, which Is
locally known as "wassailing," is en
joined by Thomas Tusser in his works
entitled "Five Hundred Points of
Hood Husbandry," wherein he bids the
husbandman
"Wassail the trees, that they may bear
You many a plum and many a pear;
For more or less fruit they will bring.
As you do them wassailing."
In most countries certain plants are
to be found associated with witches
and their craft. Shakespeare causes
one of his witches to discourse of root
of "hemlock dlgg'd 1' the dark;" like
wise also of "slips of yew sliver'd in
the moon's eclipse." Vervain wnsinold
en times known as "the enchanter's
plant;" rue, again, was regarded as an
antidote against their spells and ma
chinations. This partiality for certain
plants is well known. According to
Hrlmm. the trystlng place of the Nea
politan witches was a walnut tree
near Benevento. la walnut and older
trees they are also said to be in the
habit of lurking at nightfall. Witches,
too. had their favorite flowers. Among
these the foxglove was known as the
"witches' bells;" the harebells as the
"witches' thimbles." Tradition usserts
thai on moonlight nights they might
he seen flying through the air mounted
311 the stems of ragwort, reeds or bul
rushes. Throughout Germany It is be
lieved that witches' career through
the midnight skies on hay. Many
plants were pressed Into service as
charms and spells for the detection of
witches anil evil spirits when wander
ing about on their nefarious errands,
particularly the St. .lolin's wort, still
largely worn by the German peasantry
as a kind of amulet 011 St. John's eve.
It was an old belief that all baptized
persons whose eyes had been steeped
lu the green Juice of the inner Imrk of
Ihe elder tree would be enabled to de
lect witches anywhere. The same
property, according to Uerman folk
lore, is possessed by the wild radish,
Ivy and saxifrage on Walpurgls
Night. Among other plants which
have hail the reputation of averting
the crafts and subtleties of wltheraft
Hie juniper, holly, mistletoe, little
pimpernel, herb paris, cyclamen, an
gelica. herb beton'y, rowan tree, brack
en, and twigs of the ash may be men
tioned. In the Rhine district the
water lily Is regarded as antagonistic
to sorcery. I,avendor Is believed In
Tuscany to possess the power of
averting the evil eye. Olive branches
are said to keep the witches from the
cottage doors in the rural districts of
Italy, and the Russian peasantry will
lay aspen upon the grave of a witch to
prevent her spirit from walking
ibroad or exercising any evil influence
over her neighbors. -The Ueutleineu's

Tri In Their Leaflet!* .State.
It is interesting to give atten
lo the bare trees nnd notice the
characteristic forms of the vari
ous species, the manners in which
their branches are developed and
lira aged among themselves, for a
knowledge of these things will often
'liable one lo distinguish Ihe different
kind of trees more readily and certain
ly than by any other means.
The foliage often serves as an ob
scuring veil, concealing, iu part at least,
Ihe individuality and the peculiarities
of the trees. But if one is familiar
with their forms of growth—he will re
cognize common trees at once with
only a partial view of them.
Some trees, as the oak, throw their
limbs out from the truuk horizontally.
TitEE IN ITS I.EAFI.ESS STATE.
As Dr. Holmes says: "The others shirk
Ihe work of resisting gravity, the oak
defies it. It chooses the horizontal di
rection for Its limbs so that their whole
weight may tell, and then stretches
them out fifty or sixty feet so that the
strain may be mighty enough to be
worth resisting."
Some trees have limbs which droop
toward the ground, while those of
most, perhaps, have an upward tenden
cy, nnd others still have nn upward
llrectlon at first and later In their
{rowth a downward inclination, as in
the ease of the elm, the birch, and the
willows. Some, like the oak. have
comparatively few but large and
■itrong branches, while others have
many slender limbs, Ilka some of the
jirclies and poplars.
WITH THE LAW-MAKERS.
Continued from First Page,

The governor's objections to the fore
going resolutions and the bills were
sustained by the house. The veto of
the bill to protect the public from the
unlawful use of bottles, jars, vessels or
other packages in the sale and delivery
of milk and cream and their products
was also sustained.
The bicycle bill, which is now a law,
will be of interest. It provides that,
upon petition of at least twenty-five
freeholders, residents of a county, who
are bicyclers, the court shall appoint
three resident wheelmen as side path
commissioners, to serve without com
pensation other than necessary ex
penses. A tax of sl, or so much thereof
as may bo recommended by the side
path commissioners, shall be paid upon
each bicycle in the county. Returns of
the number and ownership of the wheels
are to be made by the regular assessors.
The taxes shall constitute a side path
fund, to be used for the construction
and maintenance of the paths, which
shall be built between the roadway prop
er and the abutting land and shall not
bo less than throe nor more than six
feet wide, measuring from the outside
of the ditches.
There has been some quiet talk dur
ing the past week about an extra ses
sion. As it Is there has not been enough
revenues provided yet to meet all the
requirements. Tho state's finances are
not In shape to allow of an extra session
and It is doubtful whether the governor
would reconvene the legislature may the
necessity be ever so great. Yot, on the
other hand, an uncompleted capitol, a
depleted treasury and a disrupted party
may cause some of the Republican lead
ers to resort to pretty desperate meas
ures before election times come again.
Of the thousand bills that were pre
sented not more than fifty of these
reached the governor; the balance fell
by the wayside. Nissloy.
Tho news of Quay's acquittal by a
Philadelphia jury on the charge of con
spiracy and his immediate appointment
by Governor Stone as United States
senator from Pennylvania did not create
tho excitement here which such Import
ant news might have been expected to
stimulate. In fact, the latter move had
been discounted, and instead of causing
people to wonder at the bold stroke of
the politicians, the action of the gover
nor was accepted as a matter of course.
The war in ranks is now
on, and nover before has the party in
Pennsylvania been so hopelessly divided
as it is today. What the outcome will
be no man can positively prodict. Wo
must all wait and see. N.
