CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE.

In a letter of June 10th to the
chairman of the democratic state
committee of New York, Mr.. Tllden
declines under any circumstances to
be again a candidate for the presl-
dency. He declares the same con-
siderations which prompted his re-
fusal in 1880 determine his action
now, and for reasons of physical
inability he cannot accept the nom
nation. He reiterates his opinion
that the chief magistracy is above
all personal ambition because 1t
carries with it weighty duties to be
conscientiously performed, and be-
cause he cannot hope to discharge
these in his present condition, he
must not and cannot accept the re
sponsibility of reelection.
These words of Mr. Tilden will
be remembered for future good be-
cause they embody clear apprecia-
ton of a principle too often lost
sight of in these stirring days. Says
the letter:
Undertaking. in no wise that best
gift of heaven, the occasion and the
power sometimes bestowed upon q
mere individual to communicate an
impulse for good, grateful beyond
all words to my fellOw-countrymen
who would assign such beneticent
functions to me, | am consoled by
the reflection that neither the demo-
cratic party, nor the republic for
whose future that party is the best
guarantee, is now or ever can be de
pendent upon any one man for their
successful progress in the path of 4
noble destiny. Having given to
their welfare whatever of health and
strength / possessed or could Dor
row from the future, and having
reached the term of my capacity for
such laborers as their welfare now
demands, | but submit to the will of
God in deeming my public career
forever closed.
SAMUEL J. TILDEN.

turn from the setting to the rising
sun-le roi est mort Vive lie roi
With his hold on New York, with
his vigorous young manhood, his
clean record and superb individuali-
ty new leader assumes the robe

in hand to peaceful victories under

THE SUN
NEW YORK. 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out OF our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns OF all TUE SUN printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough TO reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount COpernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then thrce-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But THE sun is written for the Inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
twenty-etght times.
II every buyer of copy Of The SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and If his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1883 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
Of steady reading, night and day
1t Is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers. or Of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE SUN is, and will continue to be. a news
paper which tells the truth without f5ar OF

doubt. Since they have gone into
the matter and are using it to my
detriment have no further hesita
ton in saying publicly that, for per-
sonaI reasons, [ could not consent to
support Mr. Bloxham if he were
nominated, which | feel entirely
confident he will not be-"
Now Gov. Bloxham's name will
not be presented to the Pensacola
convention, but it is very certain
that Geo. T. Drew expects his own
name to be prominent in the list OF
governors in prospectu. Can he,
as democrat, &C consistently be-
fore that convention when he has
expressly stated that in certain cir
cumstances he will not feel bound
by the action of that body? Is
there any good democrat who will
not feel himself bound, within .reas
enable limits, by the nomination at
Pensacola, and is Gov. Drew, how
ever rich or respectable or valuable,
i'm position to dictate the choice of
a candidate to the democrats of
Florida ? These questions are for
the careful consideration of the state
convention. And now comes Biloxi
hams letter:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June IL.
70 the Editor of the Times Union:
The account in to-day's issue Of
your paper of an interview with ex-
Governor Drew, contains many
falsehoods as to myself. shall at
an early day, with your permission,
make a full statement of the facts
through the columns of the Times
Union. w. ID. BLOXHAM.
With all this we have nothing to
do. we are sorry the chlet-eXecu-
tive of Florida should feel called
upon to exchange billingsgate with
one of our citizens, and the high po-
. sition in public esteem held by each
will but expose them to keener con
demnation in ''the light which beats
upon a throne"
But the people can take no politi,
cal interest in such matters. Biloxi
ham has never avowed himself 9
candidate, and it seems that Drew
has been one only to defeat Blox
ham. Neither is longer in the race
each is broken by his own action
and the state convention is thereby
relieved of its most threatening en-
tanglement. For this let us all be
thankful.

DIR. E. G. johnson, in the treatment
of disease, discards everything that will
reduce the strength or weaken the con-
stitution. He does no; believe that the
skill of man can give CURATIVE power
to any article that God has stamped
with power to KILL, as is held by those
who use poisons in treating disease. As
all recovery from disease is due to the
life properties in the body, and death
advances just in proportion as these
powers are weakened, no efforts made
BY the frame to overcome disease should
be interfered with and weakened, but
always aided and strengthened. As all
poisons taken in "heaith or disease
by accident or design" whether in
large or small doses" so far as they
act al all, when they do not destroy life
outright, are opposed" to health and
life and weaken and oppose natures
own curative efforts, he refuses to use
them. Believing the use of poisnrs to
be contrary to nature, at war with SOL
ence and destructive to the human race.
he selects his rem, dies from the hum
dreds of powerful, yet HARMLESS. ve2e-
tables and other non poisonous agencies
that nature has provided for the cure of
disease, which, when properly used, in
tangible doses, speedily restores health

ton. Office at No. 20S1S Commercial

THE CATTLE TRAIL.

The Cattlemen convention at st.
Louis resolved in favor of the "na-
tional TRAIL" and that is about ali they
did do in relation to it. A bare reso-
luton in favor of the trail, without
organizing for the purpose of secur-
ing it, is a very absurd proposition,
but this is the relation in which the
cattlemen placed themselves. A reso-
luton without anybody to urge,
at the proper places. what this
resolution contemplates, without
men or means To go lasfore congress
or before state legislatures to urge the
trail, is not worth the paper upon
which it is written, has not the force
of a single breath that urged it. A
thing not worth working tor is not
worth having; and tnis is about the.
view THE STATESMAN takes of the
trail. Whether it is worth anything
or not, it is an impracticable thing,
and if secured to the cattlemen of
Texas it would not be worth half as
much as packeries, competent to
butcher and prepare the meat
of Texas raised tilttle ], for
shipment to distant markets. 1t
win never do when the trail is no
moIe, and that day is coming, to ship
live meat to distant points. Very few
shippers try this plan without being
subjected to losses. 1t not only de-
stroys dollars for shippers, but it pre-
sents consumers with inferior meats.
really unfit for consumption. Animals
shipped alive over great distances
reach their destination in such
fevered condition and so often
manned and bruised as to render
them unfit for human food, without
time, which cannot be given, for them
to regain their normal condition. On
the contrary, meats slaughtered at or
near the point OF production,
and refrigerated, reach their
destination in the very highest condi-
ton. Aside from this sanitary inter
est in the question, there IS involved
the cruelty to animals inseparabie

COPPER IN NORTH INVEST TEXAS.

The Grand Bet Copper company is a
big thing Ga paper, as well rs in terri
tory, and there can be little doubt 1t is
big thing in prospective in copper.
Gen. Geo. y. Mcclellan has been en-
gagged il q thorough inspection Of the
company's property, which lies in the
counties of Knox, King, Stonewall
and HarGeman, and he pronounces
The prospect as wonderful in possIbil-
tiles. It is the purpose to soon begin
work in Hardeman county, and to re-
move and reduce, daily, one thousand
tons of :ore. The difficulty, at present,
in the way o. successful operation of
the mines, is the absence of fuel
Were coal at hand the crop of copper
would soon be fabulous. The capital
stock Of the company is fixed at S12,-
O00,000. ANY amount OF water is at
command, aud when railway pene-
trates this copper region it becomes
utterly impossible to guess what the
result will be. One experienced ex-
pert says be has never yet examined
anything equal to the property in
magnitude AMI in richness; another is
satisfied there are over five hundred
thousand tons OF ore in sight.
The demand for copper is increas-
ing; it is used now for telegraph lines
and for roofing, and its consumption
in arl the old, established industries
increases. The demand, then, must
continue to be greater, and we may
expect, when railway facilities are
better, to see the copper region of
northwest Texas become famed for
its wealth. The Fort Worth Gazette
is wonderfully pleased at the pros
pect, and is satisfied railway connec-
ton with the copper mines will be
made from Fort Worth.
