POLITICAL MATTERS.

Congressman Connell said yesterday:
81 see it has been published that am
doing the recorders work for him. This
is hattering to my ability, but unfor-
tunately it is inaccurate. l have not
asked the recorder to make or with
hold single appointment, or to do or
not to do a single thing in connection
with his office. Nor have | attended or
heard OF any conference of party lead
ers for the purpose of discussing
changes in the personnel of the city
police and fire bureaus. Not to my
knowledge was any such conference
held or is one in contemplation. have
confidence enough in the present re-
corder 10 believe that he will do his
duty without outside dictatlon or pres
sure
rs it true that your office IS lhronged
by seekers after city appointments" >"
Mr.. Connell was asked.
II have had just one man come to see
me on such a mission" Mr.. Connell re-
piled. land promptly turned him over
to the recorder My idea, which, if l
were recorder would put into exc
| cution, is that the employe Of the city
who does his duty efficiently and faith
and the one who doesn't should he
bounced. ! haven't heard of any con-
| templated head-chopping, and don't be-
lieve that any competent and faithful

There is a possibility that the meet

place is left to the executive commit

will not he a candidate to succeed him

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIas, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the LIQUID laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin he form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. II
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy sre obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFoRNIA FIa SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

HAILED TROOPS WITH JOY.

I'VE hailed the American troops with
joy we built fairy castles in the air;
we seemed to feel a sense of liberty
from the very day of their arrival; our
hearts were filled to overlooking, and
the bells of our churches that day
seemed as if they pealed forth the toe
sin of freedom and independence TO
Porto Rico. We were to become part
Of the great land of Washington and
Lincoln, Was there any wonder, there
fore, that when the Stars and Stripes
foated for the first time over the San
Juan palace that a mighty hurrah went
up from the hearts of my countrymen
all over the island?
Then came dark days. President
McKinley's statement regarding free
| trade was never realized. Our former
markets were closed to us. America
| had too high a tariff, crops lay rotting,
| finances were low, the hurricane devas-
| tated our coming crops; in fact. there
were times when some of us lost all
| heart and faith in the American people.
| and regarded the American policy as
| seemingly rapacious spoliation, as a
| breach of faith itself.
yet, We sec the mistake of thinking
| ourselves entitled to all the preroga =
| tives of American citizenship without
| being conscious of what such citizen
| ship meant. We see the reasoning for
fractional tariff for revenue purposes.
we can follow the policy of the gov
| ernment throughout and find il built
upon solid foundation, not effervescent
emotionalism. but with view to the
welfare of the island.
VIEW FUTURE WITH PLEASURE.
| We view the future with pleas
ure. The ominous clouds of dis
trust and dissatisfaction have nlown
away. commerce and industry have
received a wonderful stimulus. A
| substantial form of administration
has been established, we are in
closer connection with the United
| States, prosperity smiles upon us, and
| but voice the sentiment of the Porto
Rican people when | say that we look
| forward to the day when that Gem OF
the Antilles, my beloved Borinquen
will occupy a firm place in the glori-
Gus Union, when on the starry banner
a new and additional star will shed its
| lustre-the star of the state of Porto
| Rico
'The liberal establishment of SO
many educational institutions will be a
| mighty power in the development of
| the present generation. The building of
so many fine roads throughout the ISL
and will stimulate agriculture, because
OF the facilities for rapid transporta 5
ton, agricultural development hereto
fore having been handicapped, because
of inability to transport produce to the
coast. The building Of the Nicaraguan
canal would greatly benefit the island
and if the harbor of San Juan were
possessed of good dry docks, etc, il
would be but a question of time when
Porto Rico would be a base of supplies
for all vessels from Europe.
