FEW PEOPLE ESCAPE-The taint
of scrofula in the blood. With many
it is hereditary; but it may also be ac-
quired from want of air or lack of ex-
ercise, from improper food. or any
cause which brings about weakness OF
the body and impurity of the blood.
The disease is characterized by running
sores, assesses. swelling, enlarged
joints, sore eyes, etc. No medicine has
been so successful in curing scrofula, as
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The most terrible
running sores gradually disappear under
the purifying and strengthening infiu-
ences of this great medicine. If you
are a sufferer from scrofula and desire
more evidence as to the wonderful sue
cess of Hoods Sarsaparilla, send to G.
l. Hood & Co., Lowell. Mass, for a
book containing many remarkable
cures. Iowa

Mr.. Bragg, of Wisconsin, rarely takes
the floor of the House, even for a few
minutes, that somebody does not lose u
strip of cuticlc, and il is quite as likely
to be member of his own party as u
Republican. As consequence, when
he got up last Saturday to offer an
amendment to the general deficiency
bill for an appropriation of Sc, 963 to
pay certain judgments and adiudicate
the claims of sufferers by the Fox and
Wisconsin River improvement, there
was a great consumption of fine-cut and
I'M air of general uneasiness about the
seats from certain members from Indi-
ana Bragg was not slow in calling the
appropriation committee to account for
its niggardly, not to say for its dishonest
policy. and when he struck the subject
of alleged economy he turned out some
very creditable Republican campaign
reading for the Record Turning to
Holman, Randall, Burns and others,
whose seats are grouped closely togeth-
CT, he said:
If you must practice economy, make it what it
is everywhere a cutting off of a new proposition,
not population of honest debts, The economy
that is known behind the curtains of the appro
priation committee is known nowhere else. and
| hope it may never be.
Mr.. Guenther also made a strong plea
for the payment Of the claims, which he
showed were not only mquestioned, but
were judgments of various courts, one
Of them from the supreme court and all
approved by the Attorney General. Mr..
Holman made excuses for the appropria-
ton committee, but his only excuses
were that the claims were old ones The
clause providing for their payment was
inserted by large majority.

Judge Fullerton has again appeared
before the House committee on war
claims, insisting, with great deal of os-
tentation of legal lore, that the United
States government is responsible for the
payment of the bonds of the late South
ern Confederacy. The judges argu-
ment, boiled down. is that the govern
ment Of the United States, having DELHI
erately extinguished the Confederate
debt by constitutional amendment,
made itself liable for damages measured
by the value of the property thus de
stroyed held by those who bought the
bonds. 1t is only astonishing that the
House committee could find time to
grayely listen to such stuff, They might
rs well accord an audience to one of the
Washington cranks who imagines that
he is President and desires to argue his
claim to that office
