THE New Ysrk World advises the lndi-
annapolis paper, which Blaine brought the
libel suit against with such a flourish Of
virtuous indignation, to not let the matter
drop in the way he has decided, but sug'
gests that Blaine himself be sued. The
suggestion is plausible one, for II the To-
disnspolis journalist did not tell lie sure
ly Mr.. Blaine was not justified in branding
him as an "atrocious libeller" The pub
lie statement that the Sentinel had given
utterance to a story "utterly and abomina-
bly, false in every statement and in every
aud that its editor had as
sailed the honor Of woman and her chill
dren, wss certainly calculated to draw pub
lie contempt on the journalist and to iDiure
his business The charge came from no
irresponsible source, but from the presiden.
tial candidate Of once great party and
now that candidate should be made to
prove bis assertions or pay for making
them. 1t is time Blaine was taught a lee.
son in regard to bringing libel suits for pc.
litical purposes.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and lie has never yet heard of its fail.
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofuous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skim with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used
