That ssthe blood is the life," Is an old
and true saying but 1t applies to PURE
blood only. Pure blood In spring enables
the system to resist the inroads of dis
ease. Hoods Sarsaparilla insures pure
blood. Take 1t according to directions
and relief is certain continue Its use and
will effect complete cure, as long as q
cure by human means is possible.
In view of the fact that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the most efficient spring medi'
cine in existence, it should always be re-
sorted to at this season when strength
ening and invigorating remedy is absolute
ly indispensable to the thousands and hun
dreds Of thousands whose strength and
yigor have been seriously impaired by the
severe and protracted cold Of winter /,
and whose enfeebled vitality renders
them an easy prey to the enervating inlu-
ences of early spring.
To very many people the coming OF
spring is anticipated with feelings Of
dread, as a season Of gloom and distress;
Of languor and depression of spirits
which effectually deprives them of all en-
joyment- To such we would say: Take
Hoods Sarsaparilla as your spring med
icine this season, and In q marvellously
short time change for the better will
ensue, cheerfulness and health will sue
coed to depression and despair, and those
azue-hued imps popularity known as the
"Blues" will disappear as If by magic.
Taken once as spring medicine, Hoods
Sarsaparilla ever afterwards finds place
in every well-regulated family at this
season.

Professor Bryce, than whom there is
no greater authority upon constitu-
tonal law, has been Analysing the con
stftutions of the two South African r.
publics in the pages of the Fort
nightly"
The constitution of the Orange River
Republic is a short document; that of
the Transvaal is long and not nearly so
clear
What chiefly interests one who
knows the conditions and ways in these
islands is to contrast these constitu-
tiOns with our own. In some measure
they are like ours, as in the case of
members of the. Cabinet, or what Of
ficers are tantamount to that, not hav-
ing a vote in either House. On the 9TH
er hand, the President has the right to
address the House on all questions,
personally, and it is by their own elo-
Quence on the floor of the Legislative
assembly that the Presidents of the two
republics have been able to WELD the
immense influence that they do This
is entirely different from the American
system, upon which our own is mod
eled. Whether such a feature is an
advantage is a question. But the South
African President has no right of veto
and in this direction has far less power
than President Dole.
The church question is another inter
esting feature in these constitutions. |
In each there is. a State church recog-
nized, viz, the Dutch Reformed |
Church. But in the Transvaal repub- |
lie the constitution is very strict. 1t |
says that the doctrine of the Dutch Re-
formed Church as fixed by the Synod |
of bort in 1913 and 1919 shall be sup
ported by the people, that none who
are not members of that church are eli
gible for election, and that no Roman
Catholic churches nor Protestant
churches save those which teach the doc
rine of the Heidelberk Catechism shall
,e permitted within the republic" This
S religious intolerance with a ven
;eance. Though of late the sections
AVE fallen into desuetude, still no per-
on not a Protestant can be elected to
flee, and the President still must be a
member of the Dutch Reformed

THE NEW CABLE BILL.

The new bill which has been brought
/ before the United States Senate and the
/ House Of Representatives provides that
/ the cable shall be laid and in operation
I by January 1st, 1899. and that it shall
be in operation to Japan by July LIST,
1900. 1t is proposed to have landing
station on Midway Island.
The maximum rates are also provided
for in the bill Messages between the
United States and Japan are. not to
exceed one dollar and twenty-five cents
a word, and messages between the
United States and Honolulu are not to
exceed thirty-five cents per word. The
press rates over the lines owned by the
cable company are not to exceed one
fourth the rate which is being charged
for ordinary private messages.
1t is also provided that in case of
war or rebellion the United States Gov
eminent, through the President. can
take possession of the line and super
wise or exclude from transmission or
publication any messages it may con
slider detrimental to the United States. |
y final clause says that upon the pas
sage Of the act an invitation shall b |
extended by the President of the United |
States to the Government of Japan to |

Of communication between the two
so that for a fixed annual
amount, propoTtiOnate to the sum paid
by the United States, the Japanese Gov
zrnment can have the same privileges

Church We have built our republic OF
the broad and wide line of thorough re
ligious tolerance The religion of a
man is no bar to his occupying any
public office.
Another point besides inequality in
religion. is the inequality of color No
one, in these so-called Republics of the
South, whose father or mother belonged
to any native race, up to and including
the fourth generation, can obtain any
civil rights or hold land This seems
a most Ubiquitous provision. II has not
fallen into desuetude, as part Of the re-
ligious sections have, but is rigfdly en-
forced, so that a man having but one
sixteenth part Of dark blood in his
veins can own no land or have any
civic rights.
There may be things to say against
our constitution, but the trainers GER
tainly had the ideas Of tolerance and
.iberality in their minds when they
framed it. 1t is well sometimes to see
what laws others live under in order
% enable US to better appreciate those
We live under ourselves.

The death of a little Portuguese boy
from drowning on Saturday last calls
attention to one fact. With SO many
bathers as there are among the chill
dren of the schools, in so hot climate,
accidents are bound to happen. 1t
would therefore be a wise thing to in
struct children in the schools as to
what should be done in cases of those
supposed to be drowned. A few simple
general rules could b given and under
stood by quite young children. OF
course, when classes reach the point of
studying physiology they can find these
things in their books, but such simple
matters can be taught long before the
physiology class is reached. From what
can be learned, prompt restorative act
ion might have saved the life of the lit
tie Portuguese boy.

Memmers of the Legislature are ask
ing whether the Executive will grant
an extension OF time for the legislative
session. The way to settle this prob
lem is for our legislative friends to
buckle down to work and put in a few
ten-hour days. Only seven days remain
of the session and a considerab Bile
amount Of important business is still
unfinished. This is usually the case
with all legislatures here and elsewhere.
but it is also true that with night SEES
sions and little Capitalization of Iegis-
lative force the task can be accom-
plished in the allotted time. 1t is not a
good plan for the first Legislature I'M
der the Republic to establish the prin-
ciple of calling for more time; besides,
a longer session costs money, and al
ready the expenses have gone beyond
the original estimate. The legislators
should be quite as interested in bringing
the session to a close next week as is
the President. Let the Senators and
Representatives burn a little midnight
oil if necessary.

MORE COPIES OF REPORTS.

Tt is a pertinent question for some
legislator to ask. why such a small
number of the departmental reports
have been supplied for public use. If
there is one thing that should be scat
tered broadcast throughout this coun-
try. as well as the United States, it il
the biennial reports of the various de-
partments The report of the Board OF
Education has already run out and the
Government has to so to the expense
of having another lot printed. There
certainly cannot be too many copies OF
this report and those of other depart
ments distributed among the people.
Furthermore, every member of the
United States Congress ought to be sup
piled with copies of every report pub
Iished for the Legislature. Possibly
some OF the documents would be con-
signed to an occasional Congressional
wastebasket, but the officials of this
country would be in a position to state
that if the Congressman don't know the
condition of our affairs it is their own
fault. In practicing economy in this |
feature of national expense the Govern |
ment is displaying false economy.
So long as the facts concerning Ha-
wall are CLEANED from meagre news
paper reports we may expect. some of
the United States officials to look upon
Hawaii as a bowling wilderness. Pos
sibly more reports have been printed
than has been the previous custom, but
even in that case the number is still too
small. The cost of printing twice the
now in circulation would be a
mere bagatelle. 1t is the first copies
that cost money, and three or four hun
dred can be added without any appreci-
able drain upon the public purse. There
is nothing gained by being parsimOni-
Ous in dealing out information that is {
authentic and the kind of information (
hat is wanted by men studying, the an
lexation problem. The Government !

1t has been difficult to get details OF
that meeting between the representa-
tives of Pink Pills for Paai People, Cow
Balsam, Mrs. Lila Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, Preachers Kastoria,
Dod's Sassyparilla, Pain Point and
other valuable and little known rene
dies, but enough is known to make it
safe to assert that motion to adver-
tise more than ever was unanimously
carried, it being the impression that a
judicious use of the papers will drive
out all the doctors.
The doctors have frequently called at
tention to the large percentage of ''un-
attended in the mortuary reports. 1t
looks as if the percentage of ''unat-
tended" might increase now. Perhaps
people will be scared by the charges
and won't call the doctors, and so the
death rate will be- materially lowered.

We learn from the Secretary of the
Chinese Bureau that owing TO the
Registration Act the applications for
certificates of filing bonds, whereby
Chinese were enabled to come to the
Hawaiian Islands for a six months resi-
dence, have entirely ceased. This would
prove that these parties have been re
turning others in place OF those ar
irving. which, OF course, is finally stop
ped by the registration, it being impos-
sibIe to obtain a passport unless the
applicant produces his certificate of
registration. This win bring the sec
ton of the Act restricting Chinese i'm
migration pertaining, to merchants and
travellers to it's legitimate use. There
are probably 200 of these certificates OF
filing bonds in China, but some of the
sureias have written on to friends not
to come owing to the new law.
