The unanimous decision of the Supreme Court in favor of the constitu-~ tionality of granting railroad subsidies by the people has taken every one by surprise. It was generally believed that while a minority might so hold, the Court, constituted as it was, would echo the opinion expressed in the let~ ters and briefs of Governor Haight.— ’ The case ‘was the Stockton and Visalia Railroad Company against. the city of Stockton. The bill authorizing a subsidy by Stockton and San Joaquin county to this company, passed the last Legislature and was approved by Gov. Haight, who then found no ebjection toit. After the adjournment of the Legislature a’ new light dawned upon “his Excellency,” and by the publica. tion of two letters he anneunced to the . world the fact that under the Constitution no such laws could stand. He was met upen the issue by Jolin R. correspondence brought these into prominence as the representatives of the two theories in regard to the granting of subsidies. Governor Haight took the fight into the Supreme Court, and then behind the official character of the Attorney General he made the same fight, and the Court decide unanimously against him. The Governor in the case occupied an unenviable position, for as a lawyer he was forced to argue that as Covernor he approved an act which he knew to be unconstitutional. Had the Court held the law to be unconstitutional the question would have been taken out of politics. But since it is otherwise,and there is no constitutionalobjection in the way of granting subsidies, it is only a matter ot public policy to be settled formally by a verdict of the people. Of course, in this view of the case it is one of the live issues in the coming fight. Darlingtonia Calitornica. , Mr, Worthington G. Smith calls attention in“Nature” to certain living plants of Darlingtonia Calfornica, or the American pitcher plant, described many years ago in the Smithsonian Contributions, by Dr. Torrey, from specimens brought by General Fremont from what is now Nevada, and ef which considerable was said some time since. This plant is fund in abundance in Eureka township. Acw4 cording to Mr Smith the plant posses. ses an irresistable attraction to insects, the nature of which is entirely unaccountable. When in bloom the flower is said to resemble the upraised head and body of the cobra, with mouth exh panded, and prepared tor a spring, the head being at right angles with the hollow vertical, and apparently pre. septing no opening by which an.-insect can enter, Rlue bottle or blow flies are said to make their way immediately to this plant whenever they come into a roum where it is growing, and alighting on a portion of the flower, they fly upward into the previously unseen en trance to the tube, and fro: this they descend the hollow body, and apparent. ly never return alive, keeping upa buzzing noise for half an hourand then dying.
