President Roosevelt.

An American correspondent of fcbe London Times aays;—President Roose velt, taking up the great responsibility forced upon him by.the crime which has plunged a whole world into m .urn ing, it entitled ia the fullest measure to the confident, sympathy, and en-j courageoaeat of his fellow-countryman. ■ •lateilectual ability, coupled with nbao- ( lute integrity and s;reat p»raon«! ' courage, combined with fairness and moderation, qualify him for the high office which ho will fill. No itarfeUng change from the policy so effectively Carried oat by his martyred predefi ne? is to be expeobeds smd sach minor changes as snnßt now ba tnado in th machinery of administration are likely fto be directed with statesmanlike dis cretion, for the new President, though youog in yearsj (ho will cele brate the 48rd anniversary of hia birth 'next .month),' h'(ie, nevertheless, been nearly 20 yean in .public lif>, and his long been exerting an appreciable Influence for good in the affurs of his country. He was a prominent member ©f the Lower Honse in ihe Legislature of New York States when he was only 24 years of age, and two years later was the acknowledged leader of the majority in that body, In the mean while he had led so brilliantly an early forlorn hope to rescua tbe municipal government of tbe American metro polis from the toils of a corrupt poli tical organisation as to make the public aware of him as a possible force in the broader field of national politics. As United States Oivil Service Oomrais sfoner for four years he pursued a generally thankless task with judgment and zeal, and while the latter quality may have been somewhat extrava gantly displayed, especially in bis Haronn-aUßaschtd-Kk© midnight ram bles while he served as Police Com missioner in New York, yet vigilance, energy, and ingenuity were required to cope with the difficulties of the peculiar po'ifeical situation in which he was then placed, and his errors of judg ment were inconsiderable ia coin pariaon with the wealth of sin cerity and conviction be lent to that taski Municipal political corrup tion was not to be finally reformed at that; time and by those meane, and Mr Roosevelt was much more in his ele ment aa Assistant Secretary of the Navy at the beginning of President McKinley'e first term, while it would be'folly to underrate the value to him of the great popularity he acquired throngh his energetic and valuable services on the field of battle in the Spimsh-Americaa war. The gallantry ©f Roosevelt's roaghriders appealed to the imagination and to the heart of the American people; While serving thereafter as Governor ot New York State Mr Roosevelt was, for the first time, accused by political enemies of being too subservient to party govern ment. The singular fact, however, is not that sach charges were then made, bnt that they had never been made before. On the other hand, he w»t credited by bis friends with sign*! triumph in th»fe office, and it is worth bearing in mind that the very persons who then accused him of biing a tool of party management were the first to attribute Ma nomination for the Vice- Fresidency to a desire on tbe part of tbe self same politicians he h*d bsen accused of serving too well to get rid of him becaose they could pot manige him. As a matter of fact, the nomina 'ttm of Mr Roosevelt to the scond place on the ticket with President McEEoley waa due primarily to the enormomg popularity he b*d acquired by bis public acts in the grtat West, and that same large popularity is still his portion; His people, tbe masse* of them, and those, too, far distant from his native State, believe in him In his habits of mind and the variety of Lis Ulent President Roosevelt is of » very different type from any recent Chief Magistrate i>f tho United States. In hie origin, his education, tml his point of view of affairs b^ resembles Bomewhat more nearly the line of •gentlemen and scholars' who served as Presidents in wh*t the Americans still like to call ' tbe ante-bellum period,' Bat he belongs clearly to his own epoch. He h»s been a man of letters as welt as a statesman and politician and soldier, and his few historical studies •re marked by originality of thought and soundness of information, while his published accounts of his experiences as a banter of big game in tbe Rockies are full of Ihe enthusiasm of the true sports man and an inborn love of outdoor life. He knows Europe and European institu tion a «s a traveller tad student, and may fairly be termed a man of 'broad and liberal culture/ while his staunch 'Americanism' has never been called Into question, and used sometimes in his younger days to be expressed with perhaps excessive vigour when he was induced to resent, with boyish exube rance yst not altogether unreasonably, those occasional harsh judgments of American character and customs by English literary men, doe generally to a mistaken point of view, and in these days happily growing loss and loss frequent.

Another Victfm * vowui Enervating Heat of Summer*



Tho Case of Mr. M. RANDALL, (By m Napier Reporter,) Mr. Magnus Randall was seen by out representative at the former's residence in Waghorne-street, Napier. «. ! "Have you any objection to giving me the facts concerning your remarkable experience P" "None whatever," replied Mr. Ran dall. "I am glad of the opportunity, as my testimony may come under the notice *of some other sufferer who can derive benefit in the same manner tliafc I have done." "What was your complaint?" "Well, I had so many ailments that I can hardly give you a definite answer; but the cause of the whole of my long sickness was through a terrible derange ment of my digestive organs. I waa living in Melbourne when first attacked, and I attribute my illness to the ener vating heat which prevails there every summer. My food turned on me after every meal. Everything I ate lay in a heavy, solid lump in my stomach, mak ing me • feel dreadfully uncomfortable, and too indolent to move. Dull, op pressive pains in the chest indicated that my food was not digesting; then violent headaches came on. lam an inveterate reader, but my eyesight was now very bad, and the throbbing pains in my head made reading useless, as I could not concentrate my attention on the subject matter of a book. Sharp twitches of agony appeared under the shoulder blades, making me very rest less and irritable. I used to go home after a day'a work feeling exhausted and knocked out; but I could not sleep at night. Every mofiaing I arose with aching limbs, feeling more languid and depressed than the day before. A feel ing of melancholia was upon me, and I could not arouse enthusiasm for any thing. My bowels were also out of. or der. I was very irregular in that re spect, being constipated for days, with subsequent attacks of diarrhoaa. The lower part of my right side was extreme ly tender, the least pressure producing great pain. I had a bad taste in my mouth, which made everything nauseous to the palate, although in course of time this did not prove a great hardship as I had completely lost my appetite." "How did you get on without eat ing?" "Very badly indeed. I got thinner and weaker every day, and felt fatigued before I started out from home. I looked the picture of misery, and I felt as dejected as I looked. My face was white and pinched, and my hollow cheeks showed that my constitution was undermined with my complaint, which at length upset my nervous system, to such an extent that my nerves started i trembling and shaking at the least noise." "Were you in this state very long?" "About twelve months altogether, and as I had taken a great number of ali kinds of medicines without receiving any benefit, I began to think that my suf ferings were going to last for ever." "You were apparently deceived iD that conjecture." "I was, lam thankful to say. My habit of looking at everything readable accounted for my release from life-long suffering. A description of a gentle man's cure from the same distressing complaint as mine came under my notice through perusing a pamphlet. He was cured by Clements Tonic after a long illness, so I thought there might be a chance for myself. I bought several bottles of Clemente Tonic, and it was the best purchase I ever made. It acted like magic on my enfeebled and debilitated system. A few doses ol Clements Tonic removed the feeling oi tightness in my chest after eating (which I did very heartily after each dose), be sides relieving me of the discomfort and pain in my stomach. My bowels were regulated and my head became clear and free from sickening aches. The excru ciating agonies disappeared from mj shoulders and ribs, my nerves wer« soothed and toned up, and I slept splen didly and awoke refreshed and energetic My strength came back rapidly, and mj weight increased every day. I felt borx anew. Clements Tonic did its worts thoroughly removing every symptom o) my complaint, and my health has bees grand all these years since I was cured- Clements Tonic is a wonderful medicine, and my experience teaches me that it if the one remedy that can always be de pended upon. In any way you like you may publish these facts."
