A Rare and Beautiful Volume.

The name of Mr.. Charles 81. Ewart
is well-known, not only in but far
beyond the boundaries of the Stew
artry Of Kirkcudbright. Indeed, in
that special district, his name as
poet, an artist, a writer, and a con-
versationalist, is as familiar in the
mouth as household words. We, the
other day, had the good fortune to
see one of his works-it was a book,
and it was curious one. It ran to
over 800 pp., each page measuring
about IL inches by ten inches. The
subject was "The Sandwich Islands,"
where Mr.. Ewart spent several years
of his lifetime, and where he became
intimately acquainted with that other
genius-Mark Twain. The book we
refer to is in manuscript, but so
beautifully has it been written that
one requires to look well into it be-
fore he can discover this fact-it
looks so like having been litho
graphed. Mr.. Ewart writes the
modern history of these Islands, he
describes the fora and fauna of
them, he tells all about their geo.
logical peculiarities. Of the inhabit
ants-their portraits and habits-hs
gives a vast amount of information,
while their commercial matters are
written up as one whose knowledge of
such matters is of the most reliable
character. These feature, valuable in
themselves, do not, by a very long
way, exhaust the interest of the book.
On every page there is a pen and
ink sketch, or a drawing in water
colors, some of them extending to the
full size of the page. The subjects
which Mr.. Ewart has treated in this
way are innumerable,ranging as they
do from the Burning Mountains, in
all the beauty and glory of an erup-
ton, to the insect life of the islands.
Altogether, it is a unique and price
less work, and one which must have
cost the author several years of con-
slant. patient and exact work.-Cum-
mock News, Scotland.

Brazil Wants the Chinese.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Just at this
time, when the United States is en-
barrassed by the necessity of keeping
Chinese laborers out of the country,
it is a rather fortunate occurrence
for the Chinese that the Brazilian
Government, according to dispatch
sent to the State Department by
United States Minister Conger, has
just passed an Act for the encourage
ment of Chinese immigration. The
Minister writes that it is expected
that the new Act will induce con-
siderable immigration.

matter of inference or legal con-
struction. Article SO of the Con-
stitution says in terms: eff in the
next Legislature such amendment
or amendments shall be agreed to
by two-thirds of all the mem
bers of the Legislature, such
amendment or amendments shall
become part of the Constitution of
this Kingdom" This does not
leave room for any question. The
amendment being already law the
moment it has received the requi-
site number of votes, the sovereign's
signature cannot possibly have any
legal effect. It may be added as an
ornamental tail piece, but would be
as purely extraneous as the flourish
with which an engrossing clerk
adorns capital letter.
1t is a great mistake to imagine
that this matter of the Sovereign's
signature is of little consequence.
1t is of the most fundamental con-
Germ. The fact that the Sovereign
has no share in amending the
Constitution is the best thing in
the instrument. It is the corner
stone of our liberties. 1t shows that
the Constitution is not a compact
between the people and the Sove-
reign, but the work of the latter
alone. The Constitution creates the
Throne, the Cabinet, the Legisla-
ture, and all the functions of Gov
eminent, and the Constitution is
an expression of the will of the
people solely, and can be changed
only by the people without the CO.
operation of any external agency
whatever. The preamble confirms
and enforces this truth. The Con-
stitution is promulgated by the
King as the representative of the
people. Whatever may have been
the case prior to 1887, whatever
may be the historic origin of the
Hawaiian Monarchy, it now exists
only by the will of the people, and
derives all its rights from a Con-
stitution which they alone make,
and which they alone can change.
1t follows from the foregoing
that it would be folly to ask the
Queen for her signature. Such a
course would be useless and it
would establish a troublesome and
dangerous, perhaps a disastrous
precedent. On the other hand the
proposition made by Rep. Smith
to ask the opinion of the Supreme
Court is a good one, as the great
Importance of the occasion makes
it imperative to make no mistakes.

A CURT LETTER SENT TO FITCH
Who Has Requested That Payment Be
Suspended Awhile.
FLoTSAM AND JETSAM OF POLITICS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Secretary
resentative A. P. Fitch, Chairman of the
Congressional Committee investigating
election methods in New York, in regard
to the accounts of John L Davenport, Chief
Supervisor of Elections in New York, in
which he says:
In reply to your communication OF the
2lst inst. / have the honor to say that John
J. Davenport, the Chief Supervisor OF Elec-
tons for the Southern district of New York,
has not presented to the department his
bills for services alleged to have been rem
dered In the recent election, amounting to
$4,000 or any other sum. That he has de-
mands against the Government for services
rendered at such election. and that he con-
templates presenting such demands within
reasonable time, / have no doubt Your
request that when such bills are presented
payment be suspended until such time as
the committee of Congress, of which you
are Chairman, can have an opportunity to
verify and examine such accounts, lear
cannot lie granted within the law.
Tho act of February %, 1915 contemplates
q hearing in open court on the question OF
the accuracy of accounts Of chief supervis-
ors when they are presented for allowance,
and that, If you see proper and desire to be
heard on thar question, you should be
present at the hearing, and that the finding
o. the court allowing the claim is so far con-
elusive to the Treasury Department that it
would not be warranted in suspending pay
ment until your committee has an oppor-
tuniuy to verify and examine the accounts,
unless some evidence of fraud or clear and
uneQuiyocal proof of mistake on the part
CT the cohrt is pointed out. Be assured,
however, that any courtesy consistent with
my duty under the law will be extended to
your committee.

THE CHILDREN,S DAY


Those who cav the impressive sight on
the green yesterday forenoon, and heard
the singing and the cheering, must have
been glad that the energetic managers of
the affair did not allow themselves to be
discouraged by the Indifference of those
who might have helped them. Nothing
more interesting has been seen in New
Haven in long time. Every
thing went well, even the sun, which
sulked in the morning, shining
with splendor and cheer when it was
needed. The young patriots felt gay and
they looked gay. Malthus would have
been made mournful by their number, but
he is dead. and nobody would have minded
anything about him yesterday if he had
appeared in the great throng of healthy,
happy, we'll dressed youngsters. And
what patriotic crowd they were.
When the big star spangled ban
ner waved above the thousands of
little star spangled banners it was greet
ed with an enthusiasm which promised
well for the republic. There were no &C
cidents to mar the pleasure of the meeting
and the parade, and all who looked on fel
proud of the children. whether they owned
any of them or not. Education, religion
and patriotism will keep this marvellous
nation from ruin, and the young folks who
took part in yesterdays celebration were
taught much by it.
