lead him back to the unfolding of the

that the enforcement of the provision
produces only nn insignificant revenue

residents of the United States and in

Toledo, July 81. Xfnror Jones Sut
unlay addressed an open letter to the
people 01 Ohio explaining his pom
tion as an independent cundidate for
governor. The following is the let
ter, 111 part:
"During the past two months
have received hundreds of letters
from all classes of people through
out the state urging me to become a
independent candidate for the office
of governor of the state. These let
ttrs are not addressed to me because
I possess a peculiar fitness fur thi
high onice that is not common
niuny of my fellow men, but because,
as it appears to me, I happen just
now to stand in a prominent position
advocating principles of human lib
erty that are as old as time and us
enduring as eternity.
"1 believe in all of the people and
am, therefore-a mini without a party
I believe in the people as people, not
as partisan, not as democrat, not us
republicans, not as populists or prolu
bitiouists, nor union reformers. But
as people, as men, as brothers aud
Bisters, having common instincts,
common interests and common needs,
Standing on these declarations,
claim no privilege for myself that I
am not ready to do my utmost to
secure lor u 1 1 others on equal terms,
I his is what 1 mean when I decla
for equal opportunities for all.
"Believing this to be a foundational
truth, I, therefore, declare tiiat 1 will
never aguin wear the label of unv
party or claim political loyally to
anything less than nil cf the people
In this wuy I shall always be free to
vote and act for principles, whatever
party name I bear on the one hand
or independent of all parties if need
lie, on the other side, und the whole
people shall always have the first
claim (on my service and. affection
rather than A fragment of them
named a political party.
"There are many indications that
the present is the time for an indc
pendent political campaign of educa
tion in Ohio. On June 10 the repub
lican convention met in Columbus
and named a ticket. On the same
day u convention of workiiigincn.
representing an parts ot Ulno, was
held in Columbus. These working
mim formulated a platform, setting

Kvery demand of their platform is
strictly 111 tne line of progress und
110 candidate for office who does not
believe in the principles therein set
forth should lay any claim to the
nles of the workiiigincn of Ohio.
the republican convention ignored
the demands of the convention of
woikinginen, ignored even their pre.-:
enee in the city.
"Not long after the democratic
state committee met to arrange the
day of the state convention and its
action wus worse, if possile, than
that of the republicans, liealiing that
mere was a strong sentiment in t In
state for independent political iiction
they Sit the dnte for the convention
so late thut it would be impossible to
get an independent ticket into the
held after the democratic convention.
In view of this situation 1 an
nounce that for the purpose of test
ing the quality and extent .of the
sentiment for fan independent can
didate, I invite those who feel that
such u move should be made to write
to me for blank petitions of correct
legal form upoji, which to secure sig
natures, petitioning the secretary of
suite 10 piuce tne nume upon the
ticket. By careful study of the re
sponses to this letter we shall be
ulile to decide whether the sen-
iment is sutticiently pronounced

dertaking. If the decision shall
b affirmative, I will enter upon th
duties of the campaign in the inter
ests of a larger humanity, wholly in
different to the consequences to me
personally.

The International Peace Conference
Adjourn..
The Hague, July 31. The interna
tional peace conference met for it-
filial sitting Suturduy, when it wus
nnoiinced that 10 states had signed
the arbitration convention, 15 the
other two conventions, 17 the declar
ation prohibiting the throwing ol
projectiles or explosives from bal
loons, 10 the declaration prohibiting
the use of nsyphyxiuting gases, und
la tne declaration prohibiting the usi
of expansive bullets.
Baron De Staal delivered the fare
well ndress, thanking the representa
tives of foreign stutes. He said the
work acomplished, while not so com
plete as might be desired, was sin
cere, wise and practical. The great
principles of the sovif cignty of indi
vidual states and international soli
darity apparently so opposing, had
been reconciled by what they had ac
complished. He ullirmed that in time
to come institutions which hud theii
origin in the need of concord would
be the dominating influence and thai
thus the work of the conference was
truly meritorious
Minister Fstoiirnells and Mr. Beau
fort followed, the latter saying thut
if the conference had not realized
Utopian dreams, nevertheless it had
disapproved pessimistic forebodings,
and the moral effect would more nnd
more inllueiiee public opinion and uiri
governments to solve the question ol
the limitation of urmuments of u'
count l ies.
Baron De Staal then declared the
conference closed.

Learning American Way..
One of the most gratifying things In
the reformation of I'orto I!ico is the
quickness witlt which the natives have
caught the American spirit of clennli
ness. Not only are many of them i ti ti
tilting the examples placed before
them or following directions of the
authorities, but they are quick in re
porting delinquencies in their neigh
bois. Apparently a. feeling has got
abroad that it is quite the proper
thing to maintain persona! nnd do
mestic cleanliness. Commenting on
this a recent correspondent of a P.os-
ton medical papers savs that the sci
entitle sanitation of the island is not
likely to be a. dillicult task. The death
rate there, even at its worst, is much
lower than In Cuba, nnd, with the
happy tendency of the people to adopt
the new order of things, there is no
reason to believe that this rate will
not speedily be reduced. The corres
pondent calls attention to the willing
ness with winch the natives have tak
en to vaccination. The vaccine farm,
which wns established at Coumo
Springs some time ago, contains 4.VJ
hend of cattle, nnd produces 1G.OO0
points a day. .Nearly all the animals
used were loaned to the stntion with
out charge by the Porto liico farmers,

An Excellent Combination.
Tho pleasant met'sod and b..n,.fi,.ii
effects of the well known remedy.
Srnui' op Flos, munufucturnd b W
California Fio Svuup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
mcdicinully laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
tar.te and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing tho svstem ctTeetunllv.
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitiuil constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable ounlitv nnd suh.
stance, and its acting on tlie kidneys,
liver anil bowels, without weakening
or irritating thum, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fio-s
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qufiliticsof the
remedy are obtained from senim nnd
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fio Symtp
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
