The Philadelphia North American. In

Court at Weal Chester, because Im re?
cently announced "a firm determination
?o Deafer UM rights of e-Hlr.cnshlp upon
BO applicants in the future who are not
familiar with the BfOlMtSBg of the na?
tional Constitution."
"It B a splendid rule," says the North
Am.-ri.an, "and w" h"p" th.? example
h. re m I by ladgje BaStaf win be followed
by all our Judges In similar cases."
WhSe the Washington Post Is like-wise
heartily In favi-r of having some r?foim
In tho ?Batter BY naturalization, and bi -
li.ve-s that unworthy ?liens should b
rod the rights of American citizenship.

unnecessary, us a familiarity with the

of Judicial contr'.v. i-y, and for over a
hundred yesrt the instrument has beea
the capetone in tho arch Of American
Jurisprudence. Even the common law is
tabordiaated to it.
The justices of the Supreme Court, the
members of Congress, the State?leglsla
turee, and the most brilliant members
Of the bar have all gOOB times when this
oft-read production of mast' r minds was
aonrce "f doubl and perpleaEy to them.
And the late ?fUStieO Miller, la his superb
1. eturse on the Constitution of the United
Ihri t'-d in US7, closes one of his
BI follows:
"Attorneys aad courts are frequently
Called Upon to construe the Constitution
of th? United States, und the laws paaatil
In pursuance thereof, as well as to deti r?
questions of the conflict of State
tltutlont and laws therewith. Any
lawyer may at any time be called Upon
about, all of these questions
which havi been to briefly suggested, and
t,, put in operation the machinery of the
law of the Fedi ral Government for the
pn t< ction of the rights of his client. No
h of the law is more Important to
. onus. Ilor, the statesman, or the
citizen, than b Utorougb acqaalntance
With the Constitution and laws of the
Federal Government as th.-y are admin*
I, and as they affect the rights of
the people."
Bui though the learned jurist was lec?
turing to young men who were preparing
for th.- bar. and though his subject WBS
a favorite theme of his, be merely enjoins
t thorough acquaintance with the Instru?
ment Doubtless be knew from his own
t that familiarity came only
yeart >.f study and thought.
The educational qualifications required
of voters by tomi States la our Union
only prescribe thai the person shall be
al,!.- to lud the Constitution, or some
pan thereof, and dei not necessitate fa?
miliarity with the instrument.
We do Ju.!^.- Butler the Justice to
think thai he spoke without weighing his
words, and that many "cnuitles" will
Influen?a Bis determination and prevent
a strict adherence to bit resolution.

original mission of humanltarlanlsm.

aided, l'-t BS consider calmly, as we are
in noBttton t.? do, where tant wave has

we must go forward, whether we would
or not. We have no alternative bit
that of pressing on to the consumma?
tion Of our undertaking, that of opcii.ug
tho road for the establishment of a free
and Independent government of the peo?
ple of Cuba, bo the COOl and the obstacles

And that being conceded, what, In view
of the Influences that are developing in
opposition to our work, should be our
policy! Manifestly, it should bo such
a policy as will make all disorderly, In?
flammatory, and obstructive elements on
the Island understand that we Intend to
remain masters of the Island until a
thoroughly representative and stable gov?

rireils of lives, suffered demoralization In
manv lines of business, and accepted the
burden Of heavy extra taxation, merely
tO the end that the better clatss of Cubans
might, in respect of froedora, government,
. in.] ths protection Of life and property,
swap the devil for a witch. Therefore,
from th.- outset, there should be no senti?

Dr. P. A. Winston made an early start
this morning for the Price home, seven?
teen miles from this place. Sheriff Dick
treOfl accompanied him. The Doctor had
a brief conversation with Mrs. Price on
his arrival at her home, and she con?
sented to make tho trip, though she
seemed reluctant to do to. Having been
for many years an invalid, confined for
th.- greater part of that time to her cham?
ber, ft was with great difficulty that
the sadd.-n.-cl old lady could prepare her
s.-lf for the Journey, and before she had
herself, and started, she said:
"oh! Doctor, I cannot go to Farmville."
The kindly physician replied, tenderly,
to her, Paying he was there as her Mend
and meant not to subject bOT to the jour?
ney to Farmville, If, for a moment, he
thought it would endanger her life. Re
hVcting a moment, and thinking, perhaps,
of the husband, whose interest she was
wanted for, the poor, old lady, brushing
away the tears, said: "I'll try to go,"
and then so filled was sho with tin- tad
'i- ' . motions that for BWhllt she could
speak no more.
Mrs. Betes, a good neighbor, who has
been with Mrs. price ever since th>- hor?

THE DUTY OF MOTHEB
Daughters Should bo Caret?
Guided In Early Womanhood.
What suffering frequently PSSSJ
from a mother's ignorance; or mo
frequently from a mother's neglsct
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says "woman mustRuffer
and young women are so taugh
There is a little truth and a great de
of exaggeration in this. If a your
woman suffers severely she nee?
treatment and her mother should s?
that ?he get? it.
Many mother? hesitate to take tho
daughters to a physician for examin:
tion; but no mother need hesitate <
write freely about her daughter <
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secui
the roost efficient advice wlthoi
charge. Mrs. I'inkham's address
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss Mari
P. Johxsox, Ontralia, Pa., shows who
neglect will do, and tells how Mr.?
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that
had to leave school. I was tired all th
time, and had dreadful pains in m,
side and back. I was also trouble,
with irregularity of menses. I wa
very weak, and lost so much flesh tha
my friends became alarmed. M;
mother, who is a firm believer in you
remedies from experience, thought per
haps they might benefit me, and wrot
you for advice. I followed the advic
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills a
you directed, and am now as well as
ever was. I have gained flesh and hav
a good color. I am completely cured c
irregularity."
