A Constitutional Commission.

Col. B. F. Harlow, for a long time
editor of the Greenbrier Independent,
and at present member of the West
Virginia Legislature, and also mem
Der of the commission to revise the
constitution, was in the city last Sat,
urday on his way home from visit to
friends in Albemarle, and especially
at Charlottesville, which point was his
home before he went to Greenbrier.
Col. Harlow has made an enviable
reputation as member OF the Legisla-
ture, and his appointment on the con
stitutional commission as one of the
Democratic members by Republican
Speaker is a compliment alike to him
and his constituents. The commission,
he informed us, would sit at various
points and hear argument as to the
changes necessary. For instance they
will sit ten days at Charleston, ten
days at Parkersburg, Wheeling, Mar
tinsburg and Charles Town. Men of
all conditions and representing all
branches of trade, farmers, lawyers
and others will find the commission
accessible for the presentation of their
views. This mode of agreeing upon a
constitutional amendment instead of a
convention is to be commended for it's
cheapness. and there is no reason to
believe that it may not prove as salts
factory as a convention. A constitu-
tional convention usually costs from
$250,00O to 100000, and then if the
amendments are defeated the entire
sum is thrown away. Itmight be well
for our State to watch the result of
this commission and see whether or
not we can profit by them.

DISEASED SOIL.

The town of Mentone. in the South
of France, has long been a resort for
consumptives. Latterly, it is reported,
they have failed to derive much ben
eft from stay in its borders, and the
number of such visits is greatly re-
duced. ut is claimed that the soil of
the neighborhood has become inn
pregnated with germs, and that in
stead of giving relief to sufferers it is
now the last place on earth to which
they should resort" 1t is even added
that the natives of the locality, who
once presented such a vigorous and
hardy appearance, have acquired the
look of invalids themselves, and that
disease is now common where the best
of health once prevailed. The decline
of Mentone as a health resort is cited
us Il conclusive proof of the germ
theory of disease.
AS matter of fact and a matter of
course at this day, in Hawaii at least,
no confirmation of the germ theory is
called for to any extent. IT is accept
ed and treatment of disease on this
basis proves the equation made by the
scientists. 1t cannot be without ben
eft even if unreasonable, to revert to
the approved methods in vogue in
Honolulu designed to destroy con-
tagion, to drive away germs and to an
ticipate just such a condition as has
now obtained at Mentone. Drainage
is the one word that conveys the idea
and operation of the entire policy of
the health authorities, physicians and
specialists. Water is the one chief
lodging place and distributor of the
deadly germs. Here the relief or
treatment measures were extreme.
Large districts were completely
drained at great cost. There was then
no longer the slightest doubt as to the
correctness of the theories that had
been accepted or formed. Effective
ness was noticed Immediately. 1t is
fortunate that Honolulu is so located
that shore waters may be readily sent
to the sea. Else it would now be in
the situation of Mentone, where the
soil itself must be treated.

1t is a credit to this Government and
this people that such funeral tribute
has been paid to the late American
Minister resident. His life has ended,
his career is closed, the eulogies have
been recorded, but his memory will
remain. AS public man and as a
citizen he was an eXemplar of what
the conduct of an individual should be.
He earned the honor which is free
ly given today The unanimous senti-
ment of regret is commendable in a
community which too often divides at
the wrong time. The better and the
manly spirit that when summoned be-
comes dominant has been shown this
day.
