A FULL LIST.
The Arawa Said to be Crowded
With PASSENGERS

Word was received by the Mari
posa that the passenger list Of the
Arawa is a very large one, all OF
the frst-class cabins being occu-
pied. The delegates to the Cana
dian Convention are on board, and
this fact undoubtedly induced a
number of others to take passage
on that steamer instead of the
Mariposa.
The Arawa will probably be
In today. Arrangements have been
made for band concert to be
given at the hotel this evening. It
was expected that one would be
given for the passengers of the
Mariposa, bat that was impossible,
as the band could not be procured.
However, the hotel management
engaged the quintette club, and
gave a small dance during the
evening.

Lost the Cenfreboard.

Frank johnson, Harold Dilling-
ham and Irwin Spauiding started
to sail to the city from Pearl Har-
dor yesterday, and all went well
Until they got off the Quarantine
Station. There the centreboard of
their boat carried away and they
began to drift out to sea. There
was a strong head wind blowing,
and they saw that it would be i'm
possible to make landing here, so
they turned their boats head back
towards Pearl Harbor, which they
reached in safety.

LEAVE 1T TO LAW.

TIE relation Of the State to pri-
vate schools is matter of great
consequence, and it should not be
d sposed of by the Convention
without much thought. 1t does
not appear that there is any reason
why this relation should be regu-
lated in the Constitution at all.
The propensity to burden that in
strument with all sorts of minute
regulations is already oyergrown,
and should be checked, rather than
encouraged.
If it were a well settled principle
that Government aid should not
be extended to private schools,
then that principle might with
propriety be formulated in the Con-
stitution. But there is no such
principle. On the contrary, the
continued practice of this and
other countries assumes that under
certain conditions the public
money may be properly and wisely
spent in aid of private foundations.
Such aid is certainly not proper
under all circumstances, and the
circumstances which justify it
vary, both Of which facts strongly
indicate the wisdom of leaving it
to the laws to say when the purse
may be opened, and when it should
be closed.
The object of a Constitution is,
to formulate those settled rules
of law which admit no excep-
ton, to fix the form of government,
and to secure against frequent and
ill-considered changes those princi-
pies which, as it were, constitute
the framework within which the
concrete body of the laws is built
up. Nothing which does not an
swer to one Of these purposes should
find a place in the Constitution. If
these principles are not observed
the freedom and fiexibility of po.it-
ical life is impaired without any
gain in stability.
