BATH Me-. Jan. 2S.-One of the most
disastrous fires in the history of the city
broke out today in the Sagadahock
house stables. A large part of the busi-
ness portion of the city was gutted,
about twenty buildings being destroyed.
The fire spread SO rapidly that the de-
partment was wholly unable to cope
with it. Calls for assistance sent to
Portland and Lewiston brought
steamers, and two hand engines
were sent from Brunswick. The
water pipes were frozen or broken, but
few of the hydrantS could be used. and
1t was some time before effective work
could be done. The fire communicated
to the hotel from the stables, and the
house, which is the leading hostelry of
the city. was quickly Quilted. The ad-
Joining buildings were soon in flames,
and before the fire could be controlled

RICHARD CROKER'S FLIGHT.
The 'BOss' Didn't Want to Go Before
the Police Investigation Committee.

NEW YORK, June 12.-According to a
morning paper, Richard Cookers determi-
nation to go abroad was taken within thir-
ty-six hours of the sailing of the steamer
upon which he is now a passenger bound
for Germany. That he preferred to depart
unknown to the general public is un-
derstood to be shown by the fact that he
was booked as John Miles. Mr.. Croker,
ii is alleged, had satisfied himself through
the counsel of the best lawyers in New
York thai his attendance before the Sen
ate police investigation could not be COM
PEELED. He was aware, however, from the
experience of Judge Roesch last week, that
he could be easily placed in such a position
tee would be accepted by the press and
public as a confession of partnership with
the alleged bribetakers and
of the police department. Once upon the
witness stand he would be at the mercy
of the inquisitors. 1t was to avoid such
a contingency, for which he felt the Lexow
committee was preparing, that. according
TO the statement of the morning paper, he
determined TO put the sea between the COM
mittee and himself. The construction made
is that by his temporary abode IN Germany.
where by courtesy he may be said TO be
watching over the education OF his sons,
Mr.. Croker might close his ears to the de-
mands OF the public that he explain his
connection, as the chief of the Tammany
organization, with the alleged selling of
offices and the extortion of blood money
from the criminal dement's of society.

THE HAWAIIAN CONSTITUTION.

The Constitution of the new republic of
Hawaii shows. on the one hand. a purpose
to follow closely in the wake of the Consti-
tuition of the United States and. on the
other, a disposition to improve upon the
latter in some particulars. The perpetual
prohibition of slavery. the right of trial by
jury and of habeas corpus, and other pro-
visions of the bill of rights are borrowed
from our Constitution. The distribution of
legislative. executive and judicial powers.
each branch being separate and distinct
from the other. follows our Constitution
as does the division of the Congress into
an upper and lower branch.
The points of difference from our Con-
stitution show a disposition either to i'm
prove upon 1t or to accept changes made
necessary by different conditions. Thus the
is ineligible for reelection. This will be
regarded by many as al improvement or
our Constitution, though it cannot be
claimed as such with certainty. The ar
guments for and against the change from
our method have often been presented, and
the fact that the trainers of the Hawaiian
Constitution have decided in favor of the
change shows they are inclined to be pro-
g~ressive.
The Hawaiian Constitution provides that
no foreigner can be naturalized and no per-
son ran vote unless fhay no ahIa 70 both
read and write and speak the English Ian
guage. and to explain in English intelli-
gently any part or parts of the Constitu-
ton. This limitation of citizenship and the
suffrage is a decided advance on the meth
DDS in vogue in this country. Our Consti-
tuition leaves the question of suffrage to
the various States and that of naturaliza-
ton to Congress. the result being that ig-
norant foreigners who cannot read, write or
speak the English language can become ma
turalized and may vote four years even be-
fore becoming citizens. There is reason to
believe that in the present temper of the
American people they would, If they had a
chance. adopt the Hawaiian method. The
property qualification annexed to the right
of suffrage and the provision that no for
eigner can become a naturalized citizen 'un-
less he be engaged in some lawful calling
or employment, capable Of yielding sup
port. and possessor in each and every case
of property within the republic worth. at
least, $780," shows a like determination to
elevate the standard of citizenship and suf-
difference from our Constitution show that
the founders of the new republic have given
very careful study to the framing of its
Constitution and that 1t embodies very ad-
vanced ideas in regard to popular govern
ment.

The eighth annual convention Of the West

foam Of verse, but this Is a wrong view TO
take. 1t is true that the weeks literary
menu shows twenty-five poems. but these
should not be regarded as froth, though
they, ~perchance, be light and airy. They
should be considered, rather, as the crown
ing flower of the intellectual effort to which
impulse was first given by the association.
Doubtless, Western poets would have writ

been formed-there is no way of heading
them off when the fine frenzy fills them
but, perhaps, owing to the cruel and un-
appreciative publishers, the world would
never have heard of them had not the or
ganization given them opportunity to
speak. These twenty-five poems, then, may
be regarded as the blossom of the associa-
ton, and IL it bursts annually into an, In
creasing mass of bloom, poets, at least, will
agree that the society has happily fulfilled
its purposes of being. That joy and peace
will reign in Warsaw when the litterateurs
meet is a self-evident proposition.

ALIEN AND sEDITION LAWS.

There was a time when this expression
cut a large figure in American politics and
exercised an important influence in the diff
ferentiation of political parties. Current
events lend a new interest to that period
and show the disposition of history to re-
peat itself.
In 1898. the Federalists being then in power
and Washington President. the effect Of
foreign influence in American affairs caused
considerable jealousy and some alarm. Most
of the newspapers of the day which op-
posed the administration were edited by
foreigners and were very bitter and intern
perate in their attacks on the govern
ment. The doctrines of the French revolu-
ton were openly advocated. Citizen Genet,
a French agitator, had recently given the
government a vast amount of anxiety and
had come near embroiling 1t in a foreign
war. Under these circumstances Congress
which was to curb and restrain foreign in
fiuence in American affairs. The first of
these laws amended the naturalization laws,
extending the necessary previous residence
to fourteen years instead OF five, and re-
quiring five years previous declaration Of
intention to become a citizen, instead of
three. A register was to be kept of all
aliens resident in the country. who were to
enter their names under penalty in case
of neglect: and in case of application to be
naturalized the certificate of an entry in
this register was to be the only proof of
residence. The second of the series of acts
authorized the President to order out of the
country all such aliens as he might Judge
dangerous to the peace and safety of the
United States, or might suspect to be con-
cerned in any reasonable or secret mach
nations. The third provided that when-
ever any foreign nation declared war
against the United States. all resident
aliens. natives or citizens of the hostile ma
ton might upon a proclamation to that
effect, to be issued at the Presidents dis
erection. be apprehended and secured or re-
moved.
The passage of these acts caused great
Indignation i'll certain quarters and fur
nished a large part of the ammunition of
the Republican. or Democratic. party of that
day against the administration for the next
few years. and had a good deal to do with
the final defeat Of the Federalist party.
The first of the three acts. that extending
the period OF the naturalization Of foreign
ers. was repealed in 1902. and the others be-
| came a dead letter, no action ever being
taken under them.
1t is a singular fact that almost exactly
