n Nota del dia

Hoy vamos a poner IN Co
nnentario breve a la proclama
del gobernador Winthrop.
Hay en- ell citado documento
algo que como todo 10 que es
producto de TN esp1ritu de altu-
ia, lleva el sello sublime de la
justicia y ell resplandor augusta
de la verdad.
La proclama del gobernador
Winthrop. es de una suprema
lmportancia para nosotros; con
tiene una afrmaci0n que nos
honra y reconoce una verdad
que nos fue discutida muchas
vcces, por los antecesores del
actual gobernador
Oigamos a Mr.. Winthrop:
'Pero sobre todo este, dice.
tenemoS otra razon poderosa pa
ra estar agradecidos. y es Ia del
!, progreso que la hecho Ell espf-
ritu civico en- nuestro pueblo Ell
cual Sc ha manifestado por me-
dio de estas dos cualidades: do
mimic de 81 mismo Y respeto
la ley"
Algo hay que rectiflcar en-
este parrafo, pero no queremos
hacerlo sin aplaudir antes la
nermosa declaration que hace
en- favor nuestro. movido de IN
espiritu de intachable justicia,
el honorable gobernador.
FL espiritu civico Sc ha ma
nifestado en- Puerto Rico, por Ell
dominic propio Y el respeto d Ia
ley. Esto es 10 que ha dicho Ell
gobeTnadors y este es 10 que nos
convene coR6Qgnar y c0n1entar.
~extensamente. para que junto a
las voces sin aatoridad que pro-
palan rumores sin sentidO, CO.
mo el que habIa de una inpre-
paracion irremediable Y de la
cual Sc supone aquejado al pals,
suene esa otra declaration hon
rada y terminate que dice en-
un documento Official en- una
;. proclama de II primera autori-
dad de la lsla que sobre todas
las cosas. por las cuales debe-
mos celebrar u dia de accion de-
gracias, esta 81 espiritu publico|
de huestro pueblo manifestado|
por medic de estas dos cuallda-
dcs: dominic de ST n1ismo Y res
peto a la ley.
Ell gobernador habla del pro
greso de ese espiritu publico;1
este no es exacto. No es exac-
to enteramente. 4 no ser que
prescindamos de todos los her
mosos espectaculos de educa-
cion cfvica dados por este pue-
bio en- epocas anteriores a las
en- que sembro el desorden, la
perturbation Y la anarquia, un|
gobernante de memoria fu-
nesta.
Mas que Ell progreso del espi-
rltu civico, 10 que debemos cele-
brar es su reaparicion, desDues
del eclipse lamentable que su-
frlera, no hace mucho tempo.
Ese admirable espfritu civicoI
que ha encomiado tanto nues-I
tro gobernador, hasta el punto
de decir que debemos celebrar
su progreso antes que la abun
danc1a de las cosechas, que lal

Z cath of Little James E. Holden.

On Saturday, June 16, at 3 O'Clock
p. m, James Edgar, the infant son OIL
Rev. J. E. Holden, died after a few
days of illness and suffering, aged elev-
en- months.
The remains were inferred in the
Baptist cemetery Sunday afternoon
Rev. G. F. Smith, Presiding Elder of
the Warrenton district, conducting the
burial services, assisted by Rev. G. T,
Lumpkin.
Parents and friends and phys icians
did all that could be done for the little
sufferer, but God reached down and
plucked the tender plant from its brief
time and place on the earth and trans
painted it into the paradise of eternal
bliss, there to await the coming OF the
parents whose hearts bleed now at the
loss OF child of their love.
The reunion in heaven will be ioy
complete for tn en- and will compensate
for the pangs of separation now.
A long procession followed the re-
mains, notwithstanding the threaten
ing weather, and the little mound was
literally banked with beautiful white
flowers, which showed the esteem in
which the bereaved parents are held
and the love that the people here have
for them.
Deep sympathy is felt for Mr.. and
Mrs. Holden in their sad affliction
and during nearly three years of this
pastorate at the Methodist church, at
no time have the people loved and ap-
preciated Mr.. and Mrs. Holden more
than in this hour of their sad affIictlon.

Our Better Force,

The COMMONWEALTH feels confident
in saying that it is better equipped for
work than 1t has been before. Our
printer force has recently been increas-
ed and we have also recently added
quite a nice line of new type to the
equipment OF the Office; and we feel
better prepared to serve the public
than ever before.
Special attention Is called to o2e
feature OF these mprovements, and
that is, it takes more money to run the
concern. So if you owe any thing here
now is quite an acceptable time for
you to pay it. These dull summer
days strain our little money drawer
mighty hard. We need all that is due
US and we need it this week.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an inHam
ed condition of the mucouslng of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafuess Is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever ; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh which is moth
ing but an lnflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
tor any case of Deafness( caused by Ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

WARNED AGAINST AN
INTENT TO DECEIVE
international PolicyhOlders'
Committee DenOunces Nam
ing of New Ticket.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Chairman
Richard Olney presided today at the
meeting of the International Policy
holders, committee at the Waldorf AS
toria. re-
The work in hand was the prepara-
tion of the tickets for trustees of the
Mutual Life Insurance company and
New York Life Insurance company that
will be placed in, the field TO oppose
the ticket presented by the present ad-
ministration of the company. The com"
mittee will not make known the names
of the candidates chosen until Septem.
Der IS, when the list will be fled with
the superintendent of insurance.
The action Of the Mutual Life lnsur-
ance company in nominating Judge
George GRAY, General Benjamin f.
Tracy, Col. Alfred NJ. Shook and Har-
low n. Higinbotham, members of the
International Policyholders committee
as trustees against their wishes, was
discussed.
The following resolution was passed:
"Resolved, That the placing of the
names of the four members Of this com.
mittee on the administration ticket of
the Mutual Life Insurance company
without the consent and against the
protest Of those whose names were thus
used, tends TO deceive the policyholders
who are called upon TO vote, and de,
serves the reprobation of fair minded
men. The policyholders are warned
not to vote for any ticket containing
the names of these four gentlemen.

the Home Stations.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The navy
department has decided to concentrate
all the battleships in the navy on the
home stations and to replace those on
the Asiatic station with arnlored cruis-

the battleships Ohio and Wisconsin,
which have been in Chinese waters for
several months past, have started back
to the United States.
The Ohio sailed from Chez Foo yes
terday for Hampton Roads. She will
stop at Cavite and then cross the In
dian ocean and proceed through the
Suez canal and the Mediterranean. Her
place as flagship has been taken by the
auxiliary cruiser Rainbow. When the
Ohio has been overhauled and repaired
she will be added to the battleship di-
vision of the Atlantic fleet The Wis
consin is returning by the Pacific route
and will be added to the Pacific feet.
She arrived at Kobe, Japan, yesterday,
and from there will sail for Honolulu.

the Wisconsin. They will sail from
New York in few days and will fol-
low the Suez route
