The New President

(Per R M H Sierra at Auckland)

San Francisco, Oct 13

Theorlare Rooseveldt, tho new Fre iident, is tremendously energetic, and ii original, independent, and courageous in the extreme. He is hlbo religious, »nd a.ends a lit'le Dutch R*fo m d Church at Washington, Upon the request of President Rooseveldt, all the members of President McKinley's Cabinet will retain their portfolios, Wben Pi evident Rooseve'dt took the oa' hof office h? said : {It shall be my aim to continue absolutely unbroken the policy of the late President Mo- Kinley for peace, prosperity, «.nd the honour of the country.' The following day he gathered together the personal friends and those members of the Cabinet at Buffalo, »nd gave to them such idess aa he had formulated for tho conduct of public affairs

HW FUTURE POLICY

His policy, as outlined, will be for & more liberal and extensive reciprocity in tbe purchase and sale of commodities, so that the over produo tion in the country can be disposed of by fair arrangements, with foreign countries; the abolition entirely of commercial war with other countries and the adoption of reciprocity treaties; the abolition of such tariffs on foreign £_k!s as are no longer needed for revenue, if such abolition will n*>t work harm to our industries and labour. Direct commercial lines ihould be established between tho eas tern coast of the United States and South A_.er.ca, and the Pacific Ooast ports of Central America nnd South America; eocouragsmpnt of merchant la.rine and building of ships that shall fly the American flag and be owned aud controlled by American capital; the building and completion aa soon as possible of the Isthmus Oan .1, so as to give direct communication with the coasts of Central and South America aud Mexico; the construction of a cable, owned by the Government, con necting the mainland with the island possession., notably Hawaii and the Phillipinea; the use of conciliatory methods of arbitration in al! disputes with foreign nations, so aB to avoid armed strife ; projection of the savings of people in banks and in other forms of investment by tho preservation of the commercial prosperity of the coun try, and placing in a piaition of trust only men of the highest integrity

President Rooeovelt has asserted him self by declaring he will not recognise sections! nor political lines, bit will appoint good men to Office, even though they be of the Democratic party, It is felt this most be death to the President's ambition for renomina'ion, but is certainly a way to uniti the country, which has been divided by sectional lines as by *n unsurraountablo bsrrier since long before the Oivil War. 'I am going to be President of the United Slates, and not of any section,' President Roosevelt bss declared, and he has added he intends to visit the most dis tant parts of tbe coentry while in office. II will be seen the conduct of the now Executive bts already been snoh as Io rouse some opposition among tho Repahlicsn party leaders. It is, how e?§r, safe to say that no President of this nation was ever more affectionately and hopefully regarded by tbe whole Amencsn peaple than Theodore Roose velt is to-day.*

Big Frisco Strike Settled

SCENES OF VIOLENCE END

(Per R M S Sierra, ab Auckland)

Ran Fkanctsco, Ootober 13

The strike of th* Teamster and affi iated Unions io Saa Francisco wa« reported settled on the evenine of October 2nd, through the good offio*!B of Governor Gage, of Ga'ifornia. Both employers and strikers have expressed themselves as satisfied with the ttrn aff.irs have taken, and greab reMef will be felt by all inhabitants of trip city and State. Scenes of violence were entirely too fr quant for comfort, as the strikers attacked non Union workmen again and again, and cruelly teat and injured them,white the loading of ships is progress'ng so slowly thefc the grain growers of the State were facing ruin.

Lord Rosebery's Ruse

"When Lord Rosebery was Foreign Secretary his life for a time was made miserable by the persistent attentions of an elderly female, who frequently called at hie residence on matters of no importance.

His Lordship was exasperated by tbe woman's attention?, and at last gave her servants orders that he was * oat' whenever she called _,Imost every day she called but got no inter view.

One day, however, she happened to meet his Lordship on tbe doorstep. just m he was about to enter his car riage.

«Lord Rosebery,' she exclaimed, • I want- to speak to you for a moment. It is a matter of the utmost import ance '

' Certainly, madam,' replied the Secretary of State, as he held the carriage door open. { Kindly get in-

Bide.'

The elderly lady, delighted »fc the opportunity of driving with no dis tinguished a personage, hastily jumped into the brougham. Lord Rosebery gently closed the door after her, and then turned to the coachman.

1 Drive ths hdy anywhere she wishes to go,' he said, ' and then home,'

He then hailed a cab, and was gone before the talkative one could recover from her aaiasseoaent,

LIVER TROUBLE



Another Case in Dune Jin.



The Case of Mr. T. KING.



(By a Duueain Reporter.)



Afc a well-appointed shop in Main road, South Dunedin, a special repre sent:',-, ive interviewed Mr. Thomas King wiiy curries on a boot-making busmen ab the place mentioned. Mr. King made the following remarks:— ••, " Some years ago my blood was in a frightfully bad state. About forty or fifty boils came out on my arms and hands, and you can still see the marks of some that broke out on my wrists. Of course I did not have them ail at once, but they came one after another with such persistency that I commenced to think I was never going to get rid of them. The burning, aching agony of those boils made me very bad-tempered. Some days I could not work for the pain I was in, and evenl when I was taking a spell I always felt discontented and irritable. At the same time I suf fered greatly with my liver, a general depression of spirits coming over me, and I looked on the black ;»le of every thing. The food I ate neither sustained nor nourished me. It merely lay in my stomach in an undigested state, and the wind that oame from the process of fer mentation which was going on inside caused me a lot of cramping pains and obstinate fits of belching. A dirty yel low colour appeared in my skin, toge ther with a drowsy look in my eyes, which were very weak, wfth flitting specks before them. Another accom paniment of my disordered condition was a strangling sensation in my throat, a troub'e which immediately followed the conclusion of my meals. I can ac count for this by having a weighty feel ing in my chest, as if I had swallowed a piece of bread which had turned to ■iiono. Another hurtful symptom was a miserable aching pain across my brow; and, besides, I had sharp, stabbing tor ures situated midway between my shoulders, with similarly aggravating ; -ains in my side. The unpalatable taste in my mouth was enough to make me sick, indeed, I often thought I would retch my heart up. My tongue, too, was none too clean. I believe that !r.-ng-con'inued inaction of my bowels had a great deal to do with both my blood and my liver being out of order."



" Could you not rectify such a small matter as that?" *>



" I could get nothing to restore re gularity in that respect. Several kinds ■it" piils and medicines were tried, but Uiey oniy had very violent and painful ficcts for a time, a»d left me in a '.vorse fix than ever. I was greatly ener vated and distressed by the loss of sleep. After being awake nearly all night I fo!t too fatigued and weak to raise my hammer, and when I did work I can assure you it was greatly against my wi!l, r.s I had neither energy nor in clination for it. My nervous system was o upset that I could scarcely drive a nail straight, and I trembled all over very ofteri without any reason. My prospects df getting well looked very b'tie, for my appetite died out alto gether, and the flesh rapidly fell away. I am sure I was a pitiable object to my customers as they came in and out of my shop, and as the boils continued to appear the most of my friends thought they were incurable. As all the medi cines I had drank had no beneficial effect I lost heart and let things go anyhow. I thought it better to submit to tho inevitable than worry myself to death." " Did you discontinue the use of medi cine. Mr. RingP" v. " Yes, when I found they were use less. I had thrown too much money away already. Then I was persuaded to try something else. A friend said: ' Clements Tonic is the best medicine going. You ought to try it.' Sure enough I bought a couple of bottles, and I commenced to feel livelier. The nervous twitchings and indiges tion trouble ceased, and I was able to eat and sleep well. My blood was purified by Clements Tonic, the boils disappeared, and my internal or gans acted regularly. Strength gradu ally returned, and after a course ot Clements Tonic I was perfectly sound." "I hope I may report your remarks?" " You may publish them in any way you like." STATUTORY DECLARATION. , Thomas Kino, of Main-road, South Dtmedln, .1 (lie Co!o>y fit New Zealand, do solemnly i'd since ely declare that I have carefi'llr "■ad rh» annrxed document, consisting of tw» <!ios and consecutively numbered from one tt.
