A Great Victory A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
 Cured by
 Hoods SarsaparilIa

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms. At one time had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerab1e to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the absceSseS have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully leSS.' l do not know what It may have done for others, but ! do know that in my case, Hoods Sarsaparllla has proved an effective specific indeed. As an evidence Of my gratitude I send these facts unsolicited, and am ready to verify the authenticity ot this cure, by personal correspondence with any one who doubts it.'' CHARLES A. ROB- ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
 This statement is confirmed by W. J. Hunt ley, druggist, of Lockport, N. Y., who calls the cure c great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla. Cond for hoolr nivipo statements of many cures.

surfing his wish in that direction, The
choice, however, was narrowed to two,

however, Gen. Grant left the choice Of

A FAIR TRIAL.

The opponents of the Administra-
tion are at loss to fix against it a
stable objection. So far they have
searched diligently for valid o1jec-
lions, and find none that will stand.
Senator Eustis blew his note of alarm,
but nobody follows his colors. The
lamentations of disappointed
seeker for Office, who may have
overestilnated his value, do not excite
much sympathy in this busy world,
nor is it a matter of much concern
whether some inexperienced citizen
has been made Minister to a foreign
post where little diplomatic skill is re-
quired. But nowhere can the organs
discover any veritable signs of an
abatement Of the popular confidence
that President Cleveland will give the
country a wise and conservative adj
ministration. So far from it, that
confidence has been visibly
in the two
months that have transpired since
the 4th of March. The Republican
organs have failed to make out counts
that will stick, and they are powerless
to attack. They admit that President
Cleveland is a good President, but
they predict that he will prove a bad
party leader, and that the Democratic
cannot survive his pol
icy in regard to the offices. In their
solicitute for Democratic
success in future, they Indirectly
advise a general sweep of the offices,
however disagreeable this counsel to
the anxious incumbents. According
to one of the organs, no administration
can sustain itself against the hostility
which President Cleveland and his
Cabinet ara sure to provoke among
.he Democratic leaders. In the opin- |
on of another political weather sage, |

TARIFF AND NAVIGATION LAWS,

To demonstrate the relation of the
United States to foreign commerce,
let us look into the trade with South
America. The export from all the
South American ports, last year,
amounted in value to 1912, 100000 and
the imports to 1926, $4,000. Of this
trade England secured one-third
France one-quarter, and the United
States only one-sixth. What is more
discouraging about this showing than
the small portion we secured, is the
fact that while the imports and ex-
ports between South America, Eng
land and France about offset each
other, the imports into the United
States from the former were nearly
two and one-half times as great as the
exports. In other words, We
bought South American productions
! to the extent of nearly seyenty-fvt
millions of dollars, and in return only
sold in the same markets little ovel

ton. We bought of Brazil fifty
million dollars worth of coffee, sugar
India rubber, hides and other Brazil
ian products, and only returned nin'
millions, all told, in products of ou
own growth and production, though
Brazil bought about as largely as sh'
sold; and so did all the other South
American countries. They sold to ou
people and bought from others. Their
are reasons for these conditions ou
repelling tariff, and these absurd nav
igation laws, which prevent US from
buying goods and ships where the,
may be bought the cheapest. In vie7
of foreign wars, we have seen the alb
sur6ity of longer submitting to thes
damaging moasures. Tho nant Con
gress must give the country relief, o
it will go on from bad to worse, in
business and financial sense.

oncile the sections" and the predom-
nance of the South in Democratic
councils must lead to new consoli-
dation of the North under the wing of
the Republican party. Still another
has made the sagacious dis,
covery that the Democratic
party is as incapable as ever
and that the people placed it temorar-
| lily in power because it no longer
served the purposes of an opposition.
The Republican party, on the other
hand, is to be regarded by an admiring
country as equal to either fortune. 1t
is finally predicted that the Demo
cratic party will be torn into Earring
factions by the refusal of the majority
in Congress to support the Admins
tration in its policy. The simple
truth is, advances are being made in
politics, and the Administration
leads this advance. Democracy
is in power, and 81; it ,i IS

but they are making war upon
the inevitable. When the policy
of the Democratic majority IS de-
veloped to the next Congress in q
further extension of civil service re-
form and in wise revisions of the tar
if and the currency laws there will be
more clearly defined party divisions
and with the progress in good govern
ment more Republicans will be ready
to change their party relations. Any
calculations based on differences be-
tween the Administration and TIT
Democratic majority in Congress upoI
the revenue, the currency and othe
questions of public policy may as wei

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE,

1t is gratifying to see that reformi-
tory sentiment is growing active in
relation to the too great freedom of
both marriage and divorce, for it is
freedom In the one that leads in a
great measure to freedom in the
other. Inconsiderate and hasty mar
rage mo 1T frequently leads to divorce.
Were civil and religious laws more
binding in relation to marriage
there would be less divorces,
because marriage would be en-
tered into with more reflection,
as contract not to be repudiated at
will; Marriage has come to be regard
ed as a mere civil contract, and its
bare recognition in this light is fraught
with danger to society. The Roman
Catholic doctrine is wise one, and
were all churches to drop the doctrine
of hell fire and eternal soul incincra-
ton and sustain the declaration, that
whom God has united, man shall not
put asunder, humanity would
rapidly be exalted. The marriage
contract should be religious as well
as civil contract; it should be made
so binding as to protect society from
disgrace and humiliation, so sacred
as to guard, protect and betrlend. In
the courts of men marriage may ever
remain subject to dissolution, but in
the religious courts the union should
be one and forever. Civil codes
shoul1 be so amended IS to throw
around marriage the comprehension
of the irrevocable character
of the obligation. The State willever
hold that marriage is civil contract,
and should, therefore, in the interest
of society place most absolute re-
straints Upon it. There is practically
no protection for the weak and igno-
rant Whom designing persons seek to
-entrap into matrimony. The young
and the innocent are imposed upon,
and rich and foolish become the prey
of thieves, who take refuge I'M
der the marriage ceremony.
Macth makers are one of the
curses of society; they operate for
design, and often blast the happiness
of a lifetime. Divorce is the easy
outlet which leads from the contract
entered into between sharoers and
their victims. The sanctitY of mar
rage has become impaired, until di-
vorce, even for caprice or for con-
venience, is no longer accepted as a |
social stain. Courts encourage di-
vorce proceedings, and lawyers and |
clients enter into the most villainous |
collision to make out sufficient causes
for DEGREES. Only the other day we
were reading of case, where
detectives were employed by a
sivorce petitioners counsel to make
. b case, and one of these-a female
becoming satisfied of the wrong she
vas engaged in, developed the plan
b the innocent wife from whom di-

THE CAPITOL CuNTRAC

Some of the papers, notably the
Dallas Herald, have gone so far as to
say the capitol building syndicate has
thrown up its contract with the State,
We're this the case an official declara-
ton to that effect would have been
made. Therefore the contract has not
been thrown up. The Nineteenth
Legislature committed great piece
of folly in not passing the
granite bill on some reasonable
terms. Had this bill been passed it
is believed the syndicate would have
accepted propositions contained there
in, and the construction of the capitol
would have progressed with granite
instead of limestone. 1t is believed
that the capitol builders cannot find
at the Oatmanville quarries sufficient
limestone of the standard required to
build the capitol. If this be true, the
present delay in work may be well
enough understood. If the rock
for building cannot be obtained
from Oatmanville, then it must be
secured from some other point, and
this may be the true cause of de-
lay. 1t is at least very unjust to as
sert that the builders have repudi-
ated the contract. When THE
STATESMAN knows this to be a fact,
it will say so, hut until then it will
do no man the great injustice to as
sert reputation of contract. We
have no right to even presume such
may be the result.

A Massachusetts Widow.

A widow prominent in religious cir
cles in West Rockbury, Mass, has just
had church trial on remarkable
charge. She is accused of having
kept her husband in cellar much of
the time, and of making him wash
dishes and do other work about the
house. Hehad consumption and was
not fitted for the hard duties imposed
upon him, and 50, like sensible man
under the circumstances, died. The
widows trial before the church lasted
seAeral days, and she was found guilty
and sentenced. She is to be suspended
for year from the church, and if be-
fore the end of this time she does not
repent and make written confession,
she is to be expelled. They are COM
planning good deal in the East that
young men do not want to marry, but
if this gentle widow is not remark
sble isolated case in her martial de-
meauor, there is nothing strange in
the desire of the youth to remain sin
gle. She wasn't one of the "far above
rubies" kind of wife.
