GOOD, BUT BELATED.

Delegate Carter introduced a
resolution into the Convention
yesterday which would have de-
served the serious attention of the
members if it had been brought
to their notice at an earlier date.
AS it was, the change which it
proposed was SO radical that the
Convention felt no disposition to
consider it, and laid the matter on
the table.
Mr.. Carriers resolution provided
for the reduction of the Cabinet
from four persons to two, viz, the
Attorney-General and one to be
called the Minister of State. This
proposition would have saved the
taxpayers $4,000 for the biennial
period, while, as simpliication of
our elaborate machinery, it would
have been a step in the right d.
rection. With strong Council of
State at the right hand ofthe Pres
ident, he might well dispense with
two of his advisers.
A great advantage, however, of
the proposed amendment would be
its effect on the status of the bu-
reaus. The heads of these would
be appointed directly by
the President for a period CO.
terminous with his own term of
Office, and would be removable
only for cause. This would in
crease their independence, as the
President would naturally not in
terfere in the details Of man
agement, and indeed he would
have no power to do SO. At the
same time it would tighten the
burdens of the Ministers, and free
the system of government of that
anomaly which requires an officer
under heavy bonds to report and
be responsible to another who is
entirely free from this financial
obligation.
No doubt objections CT weight
could be urged against the meas
ure thus briefly outlined. The
principle difficulty with it, how
ever, is that it would involve
radical change in the Constitu-
ton, and a reconstruction of many
of its articles. The reasons would
have to be very imperative which
should induce the Convention to
consider anything of the sort, at
this late stage of its proceedings.

APPARENTLY DOOMED.

The cause of Woman Suffrage
seems to be doomed, SO far as the
present Convention is concerned
When the question arose yesterday
it elected series of very dull and
very ancient jokes from several OF
the intellectual lights of the body,
but hardly serious or a friendly
word from anyone, with the excep-
ton of Vice-President Wilder. c.
L. Carter abandoned his own
amendment for reasons that were
passing strange. He had concluded
that the question of women's vot-
ing should be left to the people and
therefore he would forbid it in the
Constitution
Are the members of the Conven-
ton really afraid to leave this mat
ter to the people? If they are,
then they are taking wise course
in placing a constitutional barrier
in the way of woman suffrage. But
if they are really willing to let the
people decide the matter for them
selves, then consistency and fair
play require that they should not
place in the Constitution itself a
great and grievous obstacle to the
free exercise of the popular will.
To require constitutional amend
ment to secure a given measure is
obviously doing everything possible
to obstruct that measure. 1t is, in
short, the exact opposite of "leav-
ing it to the people"
1t is very little thing which the
woman suffragists ask of the Con-
vention. They simply ask that the
determination of their case shall
be left to the people.

A LAPSE FROM VIRTUE.

That spirit of liberality to which
favorable attention has been fire.
quently drawn, was strangely abb
sent from the Constitutional Con-
vention yesterday, when that body
decided by a heavy majority to
place the election of a President
in the year 1900 in the hands of
the Senators who are to be elected
this fall. This is proceeding con-
trary to the settled principles of
constitutional government, which
nothing but the strongest necessity
could justify. In this case there is no
suggestion of such a necessity. If
the election of President in the year
1900 is to be in the nature of a
popular choice then he should be
elected by men who have been
freshly chosen by the people, and
not by persons who may for years
have ceased to be really represent
alive of popular sentiment. The

Admiral Walker on Pearl
HaHbor.
Pearl

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Admiral
Walker has reported satisfactory
progress to the Navy Department
in the work of making sur
veys for the coaling station on Pearl
Harbor. 1t has been found that the
entrance to the harbor, instead of
being blocked by a high coral reef,
is chiefly oSstrusted by sand spit,
which can be removed at reasonable
cost and little delay. Reports from
Lieutenant Wood, who has charge Of
the surveying expedition, Indicate
that the mouth of the harbor can be
cleared within about six months and
at a cost not to exceed 100000.
The intims;ion that this country in
tends establishing a coating station
on Pearl Harbor is having qaieting
effect upon the ambition of other
countries who are known to have
looked with envious eyes upon
Hawaiian territory.

Probably the massive intellect

cause of the Seminary's misfor-

the withdrawal of twenty-seven girls

A CHAPTER CLOSED.

The announcement here of the
text of the resolution passed by
the Senate regarding restoration,
and the Presidents approval of it,
marks q natural and distinct rest
ing point in the history of our
revolution.
The chapter is now closed which
treats of the efforts of the President
of the United States to fright a
wrong" which, in his opinion, had
been done here, and his final &C
ceptance of the views of the Senate
on the subject.
There is no reason to believe that
Mr.. Cleveland will, in order to
crafty the pique if, indeed, he feels
any, at the failure of his policy,
treat our interests unjustly or I'M
generously.
Whenever negotiations are COM
menced, Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Willis, as his representative, will
fully and fairly express the senti-
ment of the American people, and
will not in any way, manner or
shape injure US by reason of the
little "unpleasantness which has
passed away, and become simply
an incident in history.
The royalists will now put them
selves in order, and adjust Them
selves to the situation. A few un-
selfish leaders would now be OF
extreme service to them. The
leaders have treated the native as
the peasant treated his donkey
when he extended a pole beyond
his ears and hung a bag of oats
on the end of it, towards which the
donkey always travelled, but never
reached it. 1t would be well for
them to take in the bag of oats and
give the native some of the pro-
vender of the new Republic.

Mr.. THURsTON made q stirring
speech before the American League
last night, and he was received
with marked enthusiasm by the
members of the organization. The
tone of the meeting showed that
the annexation party is as much a
unit now as it was last December
and as it was in January, 1898.
The words spoken by Mr.. Thurston
regarding the services Of Mr.. Arm
strong to the annexation cause
were especially timely. Hawaii
has no better friend.

DEFECTIVE TUBES.
The Boilers of the Philadelphia to
be Repaired.

Some time ago the United States
papers contained many articles
stating that the tubes of the boilers
of the U. s. S. Philadelphia were
defective, and there was consider
able talk about the matter in naval
circles. 1t now transpires that the
report was fact.
On the Planter, which arrived
recently, were $500 three inch
tubes, each ten feet long, which
have been taken aboard the man.

for putting them in place will prob
ably be let. This will be a rather
lengthy operation, occupying some
months, as each boiler will be fin
lshed and thoroughly tested before
another is begun.

frequency with which the people
are consulted in representative gov
ernments varies with varying cir
cumstances, but in no country
enjoying more than the name of
free institutions, would delegates
be chosen in 1894, to elect a Presi-
dent in 1900, who should hold
office until 1905. This is q way of
attempting TO take possession of
the twentieth century at once in
expedient, unjust and absurd.
The vote in the Convention
seems to have been taken upon
very little debate, and, doubtless,
without an adequate realization
upon the part of some of the men,
bers of the full significance Of their
action. 1t is earnestly to be hoped
that the matter will be remedied
either by a reconsideration today,
or by shortening the first term of
Senators in accordance with the
proposition of Delegate Robertson
upon the second reading of the
Constitution.

is OUR HAT ON STRAIGHT?

The TINES this week goes to it's
readers in a new dress, the pattern
and arrangement of which we believe
will be found to the full satisfaction of
its subscribers. The old and hardly
worn type which has told each week
the stories of fact, incident and anec-
dote, has done its work and finds it's
way to the melting pot, going the way
of all good type, and our new letter
may be depended on to as faithfully
chronicle whatever the future may have
in store. We hope for much from it
hope which will be shared by many.
Particularly do we expect and hope
that it will soon be eloquent on the
themes of increased and returning
prosperity to heretofore busy New Eng
land villages; of those who, for season
living in darkness, have seen great
political light; of an era of more princi-
pie and less policy in high and low
places; of the obsequies of dangerous
theories and the growth of old and
safe tenets; of world and its compo-
nent parts grown better, and of miseries
and griefs ameliorated everywhere. Do
we expect too much? Well, perhaps;
but still we may depend upon these
faithful little servants to do their duty
fearlessly, be the words they form hope
full or otherwise.

HSNARLEYOWS -

The st. Adams Messenger, discussing
the ever-ready disposition Of certain
Vermont newspapers to raise the cry of
"ring" and "machine," has an opinion
which seems to us most admirable and
just. It's concluding paragraph is as
follows:
|. This 'spooI' of ring has been used so
long and so often to frighten the voters of
Vermont that it has lost whatever scare
crow properties it may once have had and
is as ineffectual as it is foolish. Not single
caucus has yet been held nor a single dele
gate chosen. Very many of the newspapers
of the state have expressed their preference
as is their right, and the opinions of others
are yet held in reserve, as is also their privi
lege. And it is also probable the minds of
many voters have been made up in regard to
the candidates but there is not and never has
been the slightest warrant for the charge
that a ring of any kind is OF ever has beeA
thought of outside the brains of the ''snar-
leyows" of Vermont politics.
Would it not be to the signal advan-
tage of those brethren SO indefatigable
and unfailing in the discovery of politi-
cal "mare's nests' in Vermont, to re-
view and inwardly digest the tabled
fate of that bad boy who cried "wolfo
when there was no wolf, and cried it
once too often? Do they ever think
that such charges as theirs, based up
on their own suspicious only, dishonor
them much more than those at whom
they are directed with such beautiful
indirectness? And lis it not possible
that simple honor and clear principle
is as truly the possession of those who
do not happen to agree with these
"snarleyowso as it is of these annointed
disciples who arrogate to themselves
the entire supply of such attributes?
