Here is a letter from the pastor of the
most influential church in South Balti-
more that every truth-seeker should read
carefully.
Every disheartened sick person and
every man or woman who has lost faith
in the remedies she or he has tried be-
cause none of them has done any good
everyone who is sick ought to be
cheered up and filled-with new hope and
determination by the letter written by
Rev. william I. Bailey, pastor of the
Curtis Bay church, the most influential
church in South Baltimore.
On March 81, 1896, the Baltimore Sun,
under display headlines, published the
following news of Rev Mr. Ba1ley's
affection:
Rev. VIM. T. Bailey, pastor OF the
Curtis Bay Baptist church, was parai-
yzed in the tongue while preaching sun
day night, and lost the power OF speech.
The congregation was at once dismissed.
and DIR. was called. He said Mr..
Bailey was suffering from severe at
tack of nervous prostration caused by
hard study and Cverwork, and that he
must have rest and quiet"
The whole city was shocked. The
papers soon began to record an improve
ment.

A letter from a prominent man
in Washington, who is in favor of
annexation, but holds conservative
or pessimistic views, remarks that
"annexation seems to be near at
hand" OF course this is only an
opinion, but to us it has value, be-
cause the past judgments of this
gentleman, in political matters,
have been usually correct, though
not always so. His name,
if given, would be recognized at
once by those who know that the
annexationists owe him a debt of
gratitude, which cannot easily be
discharged, and the nature of
which will, at some distant period
only be revealed.

FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS.


In the last communication TO Japan
by the Government on the immigra-
ton controversy, Japan was asked to
specify the particular points to be re-
ferred to arbitration. On Monday
Minister Shimamura called at the For
eign Office and presented to Minister
Cooper the reply of the Japanese Gov
eminent.
1t is understood that the reply diff
fered somewhat from the specifications
of the Government, but in the main
they are very close to the points made
by Hawaii. The specifications Were
amended slightly by the Government
and will be submitted by Minister Shi-
manure to his Government.
1t is also understood that in addition
this Government suggested the pro-
priety Of submitting the question for
arbitration to three eminent jurists, one
to be selected by each Government and
the third to be selected by the other
two.

This book, and that of Douglass
Campbell on the same subject have
been of absorbing interest to us,
who have stood by, and looked on
during the creation of this little
Republic. The men who framed
its Constitution were confronted
with a variety of problems, which
never appeared to the founders OF
the American nation, who instead
of dealing with mixed races, pro-
vided only for population of
English descent, that thought and
felt alike, in nearly all things, and
was divided only in matters of
selfish interest.
A Constitution in order to be
permanent must have its roots in
the thought of the masses of the
people, as these commentators say,
but here the masses" are Hawai-
ian, Portuguese and Asiatic.
1t is only after one reads Mr..
Stevens book, which takes a high
rank in American literature, that
he can see the real nature of the
problems in these Islands, and
what the inevitable drift in events
must be.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-10-13
A VALUABLE BOOK.

We have received from Mr..
Louis Vossion, a copy of his trans
lation into the French language OF
Mr.. c.. f. Stevens Sources OF the
Constitution of the United States.
1t is an interesting incident OF our
social life, that the resident
French Commissioner is the trans
lator of a book which has, for sew
eral years, deeply interested the
growing class of educated, think
ing men in America, who are ask
ing for the why and the wherefore
of the supreme fundamental law
of the United States.
Valuable it must be also to the
French students of political evolu-
ton, though every page of it shows
by contrast the daring movements
of the French democracy, in push
ing out into the open sea OF poll
teal construction, without any, or
only a few of those light houses
and signals in sight, which guided
the navigators of American demo
cracy into the safe and land-locked
port of wise Constitution.
The school master, the college
student, the politician, and the av-
erage reader, have believed for halt
a century or more, that the trainers
of the Constitution got together IN
1877, and out Of their own brains
by the power of genius, composed
a written Constitution, which is
the marvel of the century, just as
one writes a poem or composes
song. After almost century OF
silence, men begin to think &C
curately about the real origin Of
events and institutions, and dis
cover that one set of events simply
grows out of another set OF events
and that there is no hap-hazarc
work in the world.
So it comes, that the men who
framed the Constitution did no
take a clean sheet of paper, ano
say, 'let us compose Constitu
tion," but they put into definite
and guarded language the tradl
tons, the ideas, the customs OF the
people of English origin, always
preserving, as Prof. Bryce says,
s'the roots of the past" So that
when the work was done, there
was little that was new in it, and
much that it contained was Eng
lish law running back for three
hundred years. The miserable
failure of the Confederation
which created government tina
was not able to take care of itself
gave way to a supreme govern
ment. which had limited power
but whatever power it had, /
could exercise in spite of every In
dividual, or combination, or Stat
itself. This was the one great stel
in advance, the new departure
which has made a nation, and no
community of States.
