The Federal Constitution.

Ex-President Harrison's paper in
The Ladies' Home journal of ''This
Country of Ours''series treats com,
prehensively of the constitution and
its application and operation, def
ming the instrument, its scope an6
limitations clearly. ''The word con
stitution,'" he writes, "as used among
us implies written instrument, but
in England it is used to describe g
governmental system or organization
made up of charters the Magma
Charta-the general acts of parlia-
ment and a body of long established
legal usage or customs. These are
l-net-eernpiied In any single instru.
ment as with us, but are to be sought
in many places.
"The common American usage in
making state constitution is to elect
by popular vote delegates to con-
vention, whose duty it is to prepare
plan of government. When the
the delegates have agreed and have
properly certified the instrument, it
is submitted to a direct vote of the
people, and each voter casts ballot
For the constitution or Against the
constitution If majority vote for
the constitution, it then becomes the
paramount law of the state. The
Legislature does not make the consti-
tuition; the constitution makes the
Legislature. The American idea is
that constitutions proceed from the
people in the exercise of their natur-
al right of self government and can
only be amended or superseded by
the people. Whatever one legisla-
ture or congress enacts the next one
may repeal, but neither can repeal
or infringe a constitutional provi-
sion.
'The delegates to the convention
that framed the constitution of the
United Stated were not, however,
chosen by a popular vote in the
states, but by the legislatures. Nor
was the question of the adoption of
the constitution submitted in the
states to direct popular vote. = +
There have been 15 amendments to
tie constsS sSution adopted. ZEN OF
theso-~~-- proposed to the legis-
latures of the states and ratified.
The other five amendments have in
like manner been submitted by con-
gress to the state legislatures for
ratification, conventions in the states
not having been used in any case.
1t will be noticed also that the vote
upon the adoption of the constitu-
tion and upon amendments thereto
is by states, each state, without re-
gard to it's population, having one
vote. But while these provisions
make the popular control less direct
than is usual in the states and neces-
sarily recognize the states in the pro-
cess of making and amending the
constitution, the idea that consti-
tutions proceed from the people is
not lost"

The date for the Territorial con-
vention has not been set yet, but
will probably be between the 18th
and 25th of April. So much talk
has been made about holding this
convention that it is perhaps well
to explain that the rules of the
National committee require that the
State conventions be held at least
thirty days before the date of hold
ing the National convention, June
9Th and farther, that twenty-days
notice shall be given for holding it.
Thus it will be seen that at the very
latest the convention must be held
before May 16. Early April would
be better on account of the hot
weather here in Phenix, where the
convention should be held. As to
the idea of holding but one conven-
tion and nominating Delegate to
Congress as well as delegates to ST.
Louis convention, 1 certainly am op-
posed to it. The candidate, whoever
he may be, would be simply worried
to death by such long campaign
and besides, should the present
Delegate be re-nominated, which is
not unlikely, his every act in Con-
gress, whether right or wrong, would
be pounced upon by the opposition
and used against him and the party.
No, gentlemen, hold your other con-
vention late in the summer-say
it will be better both
for the party and the candidates.
Amongst the Democrats there
seems to be very general opinion
that Mark. A. Smith will again "shS

and make bid for the Delegate
ship. As a good Republican, and
thinking only of our success, sim
cerely hope he may get it; and yet,
after all, he is the strongest man
the party has to put up.

Washington Star Comments on Mr..
Landis' Statements.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-When
the statement made by K. M. Lands
of Chicago concerning the relations
between the late Secretary Gresham
and Mr.. Thurston, former Hawaiian
Minister here, was shown today to
Mr.. Hatch, the present Minister. he
declined to discuss it, saying:
81 do not wish to speak in this
matter. I think the State Depart
ment should be permitted first to give
out whatever Information it desires In
regard to it. It ia undoubtedly in
possession of all the facts in the case,
and the newspapers must look there
for any further light AT this time on
this matter"
When if was called to Mr.. Hatch's s
attention that there was a direct issue
of veracity between Mr.. Lands and
Mr.. ThurstOn, he said:
{" Mr. Thurston is no longer a part
of the Hawaiian Government, and II
is entirely a question between one
private individual and another, so far
a. Mr.. Landis' statement Is concerned.

The Washington Star tonight

"Among those who have kept close

thus il would appear that the state

70 THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS,

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS,
SIR wish WI tn your aid, to make an
appeal in behalf Of those who are seldom
mentioned by the press and almost neg
lected by tho general pubic. | refer to
those among the very poor who are incur
able ipvalids, needing more heartfelt care
and sympathy than some others who,
when ill.,, have only poverty TO contend
with. Many are cripples, Others suffer from
hip ana spinal diseases, q large number
being children requiring spoeial attention
They are often left alone, uncared for.
with nothing to relive the monotony and
loneliness OF life spent in the midst OF
poverty and wretchedness.
"Do you hear the children weeping, oh. my
brothersl
Ere the sorrow comes with -earsf
They are leaning their young heads against
their mothers,
And that cannot stop their tears.
The young lambs are bleaiinR in the meadows,
The young birds cbirping In the nest.
The young fawns arc playin in the shadows,
The young flowers are blowing in the west.
But tho young. young children. oh, my
brothersl
Thoy are weeping bitterly;
They are weeping in the playtime os the
others.
In the country of the free"
Ii may be that some OF your readers,
especially those who are waiting to re-
ceive call for service, wish to know
what they can do FOR suffering human
hu in On hQ-
half make this appeal. My first answer
TO all inquirers, rich and poor, is that in
any service for Gcd and humanity, they
first give themselves, with what wealth
and talent they may possess, with faith
and confidence that their efforts, IL well
directed, whether great or small, will re-
salt In good to them and those they
wish to benefit.
The inyalids enjoy the presence and
ministratiops OF refined and sensible per-
sons who are willing TO serve them as
personal friends and helpers, as well as
in an Official capacity. They appreciate
q musical entertainment, the recital of
interesting stories and the bestowal OF
fruit, flowers, toys, picture books and
musical instruments. Many of the
children are bright and intelligent,
some are anxious to get an education.
others to do sewing, embroidery, paint
Ing and sculpture. i would suggest to
those who are to serve them as teach
ers that they use, with other moth
ods, the kindergarten system, 1t being
useful as we'll as pleasant and instruc-
tive. The blind can be taught to read
and write;they also like to have.a guide
and pleasant compa Mon in their walks.
IL Is now the object of practical phiIan:
thropy TO educate the poor, to strength
en- their. character, to lift them up phys
icaIly, mentally and morally.
Those who visit the invalids find an
opportunity TO do much in that direc-
tion by giving the members Of the house
hold instructions in domestic hygiene,
