Patriot Hartwell.

The ples Of this eminent advo
cate that the seton Of the o!igar-
chy in the matter of framing
Constitution shall be absolute
and final IS worthy Of the special
pleader whose patriotic elogaence
IN the sacred cause Of despotism
Is fired by a Fat fee.
HartweiI's article in last Satur
days Adrsriser should lie care
fully read The argument for
the plaintiff IS so fearfully and
wonderfully held together by
that airy nothinguess which
HartwelI is such an artist in
wearing that it were sacrilege
to handle 1t as it merits. The
following chunk Of legal espo
sition, might be supposed to
refer to the action Of some Pro
Y sional government in Europe
during tue dark ages:
The Legislative power of the
Provisional government has been
fully and generally conceded. and
has been regularly exerc sed
since January II, 1898 In the
exercise of that power, the law
WAS enacted for a constitutional
Convention, 10 frame a consti-
tuition. Until a constitution shall
finally be adopted, the provisional
government continues 10 exercise
all executive and legislative
powers. The supporters of the
government. who have hitherto
sustained it in the performance
Of ITS responsible functions, have
no reason to distrust its integrity
and ability to adopt a constitution
when framed by the convention
which shall secure their con
tdepce and approval. Is it not
then, all things considered, wiser
to leave the whole matter of
framing and adopting or enacting
a constitution, to the action OF
the convention and the Pro
visional Governments
We don't propose to waste
space in pointing out the self
evident absurdiiies and mis-
statements in the above. The fact
that the government to which
Mr. Hartwell refers, has remained
Provisional to this day and
has not taken the proper steps to
get beyond that infantile stage
by appealing to the rightful
electors of the country, is valid
"plea in ban" to Mr.. Hartwelrs
claim. The appeal to the "sup-
porters of the government who
have hitherto sustained it," to
carry by force this proposal to
ignore all outside of its own
circle; Is un-American. and as a
defiance of the taxpaying legal
electors of the country, any such
attempt as that proposed by Mr.
Hartwell to enact Constitution
by mere force is revolutionary
and dangerous,

As to the political rights, there

Regarding the possible results

And now about single women

to vote. Can it be justly denied
to educated white women and
granted to ignorant eolored men?
and l ask the question without
the slightest wish to disparage

single women of position and
interest in society and be given
I to trampsand outcasts of the male
species all over the Union? Ger
/ tainly not. Therefore give widows
and single women equal right to
vote with men.
Now as to the right Of woman
to hold political office. | pass
over the matter of the right, be-
lieving that women should social
ly, legally and politically equal
with man, and ask again if man
is not better adapted for the
position than woman, even as
women are better adapted for the
position and duties of mother!
Women have been rulers and
great ones, it is true; women have
been a power both en- aud behind
the throne. Victoria is still a
power, and at the head of a great
nation. And history is full OF
great and worthy women. Then
capacity is not questioned. Then
right should not be questioned.
But it is serious question
whether they would be the right
man in the right place. Are
they not the power behind the
throne anyway, for is it not true
that "the hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world!
Therefore, is 1t not best for the
community that woman rule the
home aud man the nation? | ask
no questions at present regarding
the alleged industrial, social and
legal wrongs and disabilities Of
woman. L should be very pleased
to be first strengthened in OF

political issue.

If You eould succeed in taking

they would find a worst substit-

such manifold Indebtedness. that
all nations have invented some
thing TO produce { brief oblivion.
Peoples, barley. roots. sugar,
pepper and thousand other
things are used to yield this ten
porary happiness. In Hawaii, al
any rate, to remove the drug is
impossible. Opium is so small
in bulk as to be difficult TO detect
and the only effect of prohibition
is to raise the price and make the
Chinese poorer for the benefit Of
smugglers who may be in league
with officials.
When the pious philantrophist
says that on opium rests all wee
immortality and corruption with
the Chinese, he talks deplorable
nonsense. If with every hundred
male Chinese landed IN Hawai-
comes but one Chinese woman
the decentralization of the Hawai-
ian women follows as a matter o

christian millionaires demand the
addition of few thousands to re
inforce the already large army o
opium users, that is another mat
ter. Then, the ponderous fact
looms up like Banco's ghost, that
the country hasn't got enough
single coolies and opium users by
1 several thousands, because the
last 20 coo filtered through th,
! plantations. and are settled il

Therefore the question of moral

Abner Cram and william Row Arrest
ed and Held for Trinl---Strong, Evil
dence Against Them.
Abner Cram and VIM. Bow of Hard
wick have been arrested, charged with
numbering Isaac Miles of that town, whose
body was found under a pile of lumber re-
Gently, with the skull crushed. Cram is
the step-father of the murdered man. lie
has of late been employed at the village
hotel in Hardwick and has the reputation
of being a dissoute character. Bow was
until recently Waterman in the mill near
which Miles's body was found. The posi-
ton of the body showed it had been push
ed under the lumber after life was extinct,
and three physicians who made an au-
topsy gave as their opinion that he came
to death by two distinct fractures of the
skull produced by a club. Miles was
about 30 years, and a shiftess character.
He was last seen the day before Thanks
giving in company with the two men who
have been arrested. All three were under
the influence of liquor.
At the preliminary examination Satur-
day both prisoners repeatedly contradicted
themselves and each other and told such
improbable stories that the magistrate held
them for trial in $1,000 bonds in default of
which they were taken to Orleans county
Jail at Newport. The authorities have
other evidence in reserve which is not yet
made public.

Mans Inhumanity to Himself.

The most inhuman outrages. outrages which
would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates up
on his own system by swallowing drastic purga-
tives which convuse his stomach, agonize his in
testiues and weaken his system. Many people
constantly do this under the impression that
indictments only are violent in their action, and
particularly cathartics are of any avail lrrepa-
rabe injury to health is wrought under this mis-
taken idea. The laxative which most nearly APP
proaches the benefcent action of nature is Hos
letters Stomach Bltters, which is painless but is
thorough and nvgorates the intestinal canal
instead of weakening and irritating it, The
liver and the stomach share in the benign dis
cipline instituted 10y this comprehensive medi-
cine whose heathful influence is felt throughout
the system AIalarous, rheumatic, kidney and
nervous complaints succumb to it.
