Due in Part to tlie Too Conservative
Effects of the Philosopliy.of Oon
fucius. After a calm review of the many
agents and forces operating at the
present in her national downfall,
we can only conclude that-they
ariee mainly from, the system of
philosophy and religion which has
beeu prevalent in China for more
than thirty centuries, which was
restored and renovated 400 years
the philosopher of China, and pro
pagated after his death by Mencius,
one of his followers, whose name
and memory, along with that of his
master's, are revered and associated
in the minds of the Chinese.
That there is an intimate con
nection between the outward life of
nations and their philosophy and
religion is now admitted as a gen
eral axiom by the philosophic his
torian, find nowhere is this more
clearly observed and self evident
than in the history of China. . Ere
we proceed to criticise the system of
philosophy elaborated and taught
by Conf ucius, it will be necessary
to acquaint ourselves with the
principal details of the life and
career of a thinker of whom it has
been said: "His philosopy was his
life, and his life, a philosophy,
which-for more than twenty cen
turies has reflected itself in the
idiosyncracies of thought and tem
perament which have always char
acterized the Chinese as a nation."
Confucius was born about 550 Br
C, in an age contemporaneous with
that of Gotama, the Buddhai, in
India and Pythagoras, in Southern
Italy, who were greatly his super
iors in their intellectual attain
ments and knowledge of ' a man's
Spiritual nature, which constitute
the power and influence of a great
teacher.,- Yet, where they failed,
Confucius, succeeded. . W h i 1 s t
Buddhism, like Christianity, has
been driven out of Jts original
brihtplace, and the teachers of the
Pythagorean philosophy are entire
ly lost, Confucianism still exists
and flourishes as a vast and potent
factor in; the problem of human
life and destiny. The reason was
that, while, they raised the structure
of their philosophy in the airy re- i
gions of metaphysics, Confucius
built his upon the solid ground of
experience, and thus showed him
self wiser than those renowned
teachers. j
When young he displayed an ex
traordinary love of learning, and
veneration for the laws of his coun
try, and acquired general respect
for his prudence, rectitude and
philosophic gravity of conduct.
At the early age of 17 he entered
public life, and became inspector
of the corn marts, and distinguish
ed himself by his industry and
energy in repressing fraud and in
troducing order and integrity into
the whole business. What a great
fielcl of usefulness lies open for
some American Confucius! He
next became' inspector general of
pastures and flocks, which resulted
in the general improvement in the
cultivation of the country and the
condition of the people. On the
death of his mother, which occurred
in his 23rd year, he shut himself
up in his house to pass in solitude
the customary three years of
mourning for her. The whole time
was dedicated to philosophical
study and meditating on the eter
nal laws of morality, tracing them
to their source and inmuing his
mind with a deep sense of their
obligation, and- determining to
making them the immutable rules
of. all his actions.
On his entry again; into public
life he came forward as a teacher,
and commenced :insructing his
countrymen in the precepts of mo
rality. His philosophy was more
ethical than religious, and aimed
exclusively at fitting men for acting
honestly and prudently in this life.
He also labored" assiduously in the
revision and abridgement of ancient
works oL. literature for which
he always professed unbounded
reverence. He travelled through
China, propagating his .princi
ples of rieht government, with
varying success ands mall grati
fication to himself, insome in
stances he met with persecu
tion. Once he was imprisoned
and nearly starved to "death, and,
seeing no hope of securing the fa
vorable attention of the mass of his
countrymen, he returned in extreme
poverty to his own State, and spent
his last years in the composition of
literary works, by which posterity
might be instructed. He died 479
B. C., in the 70th yoar of his age.
As with many other great teach
ers, the seed that he sowed sprang
up after his death, when' his name
and memory became venerated by
the whole of the Chinese, nation.
Now in almost every town through
out the Empire there is a temple
erected to his honor. Such is a
brief outline of the life and labors
of Confucius, who.in many respects
may be regarded as the Socrates of
his country, whose teachings have
mainly contributed to the political
longevity of China as a nation, as
also to the endurance of those in
vogue, and which have caused
China to become an anarchronism
amongst the nations of the world.

Legal Complications in the Ha-
waiian Islands. ;
According to a recent decision of
the Hawaiian Supreme court the
insular tribunals have no jurisdic
tion over cases arising under
eral laws. Smuggling, piracy
infringement of patents must go
unpunished, and there is no meth
od available to review the proceed
ings of the United States collector
of customs in arbitrarily excluding
from the islands Chinese entitled
to land. It now appears that the
Hawaiian courts are practically en
joined from proceeding ' in j any
criminal case whatever. In every
case of felony recently brought be
fore the Circuit court a plea against
the jurisdiction of the court was
entered, based on the ground that
the constitution of the United
States provides that no person
shall be held to answer for felony
s . m . " l :
or miamous. crime except upon a
presentment or indictment of a
grand jury. The grand jury" has
never been a part of the judicial
system of the islands, criminals be
ing held for trial on information of
the public prosecutors. !
In its indecent haste to make the
Hawaiian Islands a part of the
territory of the United States, con
gress quite overlooked the need of
removing the inconsistencies be
tween Hawaiian and. American
laws. The lesson should be heed
ed in future acts of annexation;
for if Puerto Kico, for instance,
should be brought within the jur
isdiction of the federal constitu
tion without a previous recast of
existing Spanish institutions the
result would be chaos on that isl
and. -
i Don't Experiment, j
When grip attacks a person of
nervous j temperament there is
usually a great depression of
spirits, the patient is plunged in
despair, and no amount of argu
ment or raillery has any effect on
his misery. The man or woman
whose nerves become so shattered
that it is a torture to remain in j
bed, and the night is passed in a
vain attempt to get a little sleep is
on the down grade to nervous pros
tration, insanity and death. There I
is no time then to experiment with j
new and untried remedies. Neg
lect or delay in this respect may !
prove a fatal mistake.
Dr. Miles' Nervine is the best of
all medicines for the nervous, tired
out and sleepless victim of the
grip, just as it is the best remedy
for all other weaknesses and dis
orders of the nervous system. It
attacks the minute germs of im
purity clustered in the blood and
thoroughly routs them out of every
hidden corner of the body; !
"I was extremely nervous and
although I doctored with several
physicians I could notj gain
strength. My nerves became so
completely unstrung that I could
scarcely Bleep at all, and I thought
I should surely die. I began tak
ing Dr. Miles Nervine and in less
than a week I was -feeling very
much better. After taking six
bottles I was completely restored
to health." j

A STODE ID THE
Was RemoYed without a Surgical Operation.
This Case Was One of So Much. In
terest Because of its Severity That
j it Was Known for Miles Around
Below Will be Found an Interest-
. ing History of the Case Written by
Mr. Bailey Himself.
A sense of profound gratitude
and joy prompts me to write this
letter. I had suffered for ten years
with kidney and bladder trouble.
The urine that I passed, after
standing awhile, became thick and
ropy, or muddy; left quantities of
sediment in vessel, and gave me
great agony to void it. Upon ad
vice of my physician I finally Con
sented to go to the Hospital at
Raleigh; When I got there the
chief surgeon examined me, and
said it would be necessary to re
move the stone from the bladder
by a surgical operation. This he
admitted was dangerous, owing to
my age and . feeble condition. I
decided if I must die I would go
home and die with my family. Af
ter I returned from the Hospital in
a despondent and almost hopeless
state of mind, I took your certifi
cate and pamphlet, sent with the
sample bottle of Swamp-Root, and
went to a kind and wise friend and
we read the circulars, and discuss
ed my symptoms and the chances
of my recovery, should I submit to
an operation. We de.cided to try
your medicine, and if no relief af
ter a thorough trial to risk the
knife. After taking the sample
bottle I bought six large bottles of
your Swamp-Root and used it ac
cording to directions. And about
Feb. 6th, to my great delight, the
stone seemed to crumble; I began
to pass 8m all particles of gravel
stone, and on that night I passed
the one enclosed, about the size of
a large pea. I continued to pass
these particles and to improve un
til today, under God's Providence
through your Swamp-Root treat
ment, my life has been spared.
Had I chosen the knife treatment
I fear I would have been in my
grave, or at best, lingering in the
Hospital. - I regard your Swamp
Root as the most wonderful medi
cine for bladder and kidney trou
bles in the universe, and wish I
could tell all who suffer as I 'did,
the relief and happiness it has
brought me. I expect to continue
itr use occasionally to keep my
kidneys and bladder all right, and
shall tell all I see in the condition
I was, how easy they can find relief
by using Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
What I have written can be sub
stantiated by prominent people of
this place. I will answer letters of
inquiry if stamps are enclosed for
reply. Jas. R. Bailet,
Auburn, N. C.
