HON. JOHN r.. PRESCOTT, OF MAINE.

About the middle of December, 1892,
my wife had been reading some of the
testimonials of DR.. Grcene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. She told me
she wanted me to try one bottle of the
Nervura.
81 said to her had taken all the mcdi-
cine | should. She sent to y. l.. ram.
the druggist at Mt. Vernon. and bought
one bottle # the Nervura, aud said She
wanted me to give it fair trial.
II commenced taking it about the 9th
of December. When | had taken it
about two weeks the pain left me en-
tirely from my back and bowels, and
can urnate freely without pain and the
neuralgia troubles me but very little.
| gained in weight in the month of
January twelve and onc-half pounds.
| am g. years old and can work now
every day, while before taking DR..
Greenes NcrVura blood and nerve RENE
dy could not do any labor excepting Il
few chores.
II hope that anyone who is suffering
from any trouble with the nerves or
liver or kidneys will give Dir. Greenes
Nervura blood and nerve remedy Il fair
trial. know they will get relief.
II can truly say that thank God that
such medicine as Dr. Grecne's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy was created,
and | stin thank Him that was in
duced to take this wonderful medicine.
II write this without any soicita-
ton.
The cure of so prominent and widely
known II public man AS the Hon. John
X. Prescott has created an immense stir
throughout the entire State of Maine.
His friends and acquaintances are sur
prised, nay, amazed, at his cure, for they
had long looked upon his recovery AS
hopeless. People are calling on him
from New Sharon, Mercer. Belgrade,
Mt Vernon and Rome, and people are
writing him from all over the country,
inquiring about the remarkable facts of
this cure by this truly wonderful health
gver DR.. Greene'~ Neryura blood and
nerve remedy.
1t is purely vegetable and harmless
and all druggists sell it for 81. We
would add also that it is the discovery

clan, DR.. Greene of 81 Temple Place,

WHAT HAWAIIANS SAY.

We publish an editorial clipped from
the Ha70diidH Star of Thursday, 18th
ultimo, handed to US by Col. Cooper,
"There will be no retreat" is strong
language, and significant, The edi-
torial has the ring of bull dog pertinacity
about it. 1t bristles with determination,
and doubtless reflects the sentiment
of large majority of the foreign-born
population. 1t was unfortunate for the
annexatonists that President Harrison's
term of office expired so soon after the
agitation. 1t is fortunate thing for
Mr. Cleveland that the Senate Of the
United States had adjourned. If that
body had remained in session a single
week longer, the conduct Of the Demo
cratic President who had deliberately
degraded the American flag would have
been discussed in the terms which it
deserved by Republican Senators
The resolution offered by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, asking by
whose authority the Stars and Stripes
had been hauled down in Honolulu,
was an inquiry the Administration
would have found it hard to answer.
The American flag had been raised in
Hawaii by the action of the regularly
accredited Minister Plenipotentiary Of
the United States 1t had been raised
in response to the request of Hawaiian
citizens, 1t represented at once the
moral and the material force Of the
American Republic. The flag was
lowered and the nation was Inundated,
by the order of an individual whom the
President had no constitutional right to
place in superior command of the
situation, while Minister Stevens was
the accredited diplomat of this Gov
ernment Mr.. Cleveland is a law unto
himself Dover (Dsl' Sentinel,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-07-07
THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF
ANNEXATION.

There is one point in the discussion
of Judge Cooley's article on the constI-
tutionality of Hawaiian annexation
which appears to have been overlooked
and which may be modestly added to the
mastery treatment of the subject which
has already appeared in the New York
Smi.
The Constitution of the United
States is not document limiting the
nation in its sovereign powers in deal
ing with foreign countries. There is an
unfortunate tendency on the part OF
many to regard it as charter giving
certain powers, rights and privileges to
the United States of America, and by
virtue of which alone it exists as
nation, much as an incorporated body
exists by virtue of its legally granted
charter. The corollary from this view
naturally follows that what is not CON
tanned in the Constitution, the United
States has no right to do.
But the national existence in this
case dates from the Declaration of In
dependence. The Constitution was
merely the organizing of the nation,
with its government for its own internal
life All the powers belonging to
sovereign nation already belonged to
the newly created American nation.
What the Constitution could do was to
regulate the mutual relations OF the
citizens, the several States, the national
government, each with the others
All that the Constitution could do in
relation to dealing with foreign nations
was to define the parties TO whom was
delegated the responsibility of these
dealings, viz, the regulating of com
merce, the making of treaties, and the
declaring of war 1t could not In any
way limit the sovereignty of the nation,
much less set apart certain things
which other sovereign nations might
do with benefit to all parties concerned,
but which the self-trameled United
States could not do
Now the Constitution expressly de-
clares that new States may be admitted,
provided only that a Republican form
of government is guaranteed; 1t ac-
knowledges the possession Of territory
by the United States, which territory is
not in the already established States,
and for the government of which Con
gress shall make such rules and regula-
