Pure Blood

Is absolutely necessary in order to have per-
feet health Hoods sarsapnrlla is the great
blood purifier quickly conquering scrofula,
sslt rheum, and all other insidous enemies
which attack the blood aud undermine tho
health. 1t also builds up the whole system,
cures dyspepsia and sick headache, and over
comes that tired feeling.
Scrofula Sores.
MY adopted boy, aged Il years, suffered
terribly from scrofala sores on his leg, which
spread till they at enc time formed one great
sore from the calf of his leg up to his thigh,
partially covered with scab, and diseharging
matter continually. The muscles became
contracted so that his leg was drawn M aud he
could hardly walk. We tried everything we
could hear OF, without success, until we be-
gan giving him Hoods sarsararilla. In just
a month, after he had taken .wo-thirls OF n
bottle. the sores entirely healed, his leg ispcr-
fcctly straight, aud he
Can Walk as Well as Ever.

ever saw for scrofulous humor. ! 1t has done
its work more than satisiactoriiy." WILLIAM

PREMATURE CRITICISM.

From the Emporla Republican.
Several Kansas papers-nOtablv the
Wichita EAGLE and AtchisOn Champion
are making unfriendly remarks concern
ing the Pan-American congress and its
work, intimating that nothing has been
accomplished by the conference and that
the undertaking was failure Kan
sas papers, we know. are exceptionally
free with their criticism upon whatever
strikes them unfavOrably. and this in a
general way is. all right enough; the Re-
publican has the same sort OF mdepen-
dence. But they ought to use a little
more discretion sometimes as to what
they condemn. Criticism should not be
too hasty and it should not proceed from
lack of information.
The Democratic papers are all sheer
ing at the American congress, but that
was to have been expected. They hate
Mr.. Blaine and the Republican party and
Mr.. Blaine and the Republican party are
Likely to get entirely too much honor
out of this affair to please them. But
this Is all the more reason that the Re
publican Journals should be slow with
their faUlt-fnding. Do these critical edi-
tors know Just what the congress did
during its lengthy sitting? Because they
do not. Is not good grounds for as
Stunning that it did nothing. The sessions
were secret and so far only one or two
items of the proceedings have been given
to the public. Its work cannot be intel
ligently or justly passed upon until it is
known.
In all probability the conference has
been a success. Its Obiect-the cement
ing OF closer commercial and political
relations between the American couu-
tTieS-is certainly a practicable one. The
conference was composed Of men selected
by their various governments for wisdom
and craftsmanship \ company Of in
telligCnt men could hardly be together so
many months with a feasible and mutu-
ally beneficial purpose in view, without
reaching some important and valuable
conclusions. Let US wait and see what
comes of the conference hereafter. and
then we VIII he in better position 10
size it up. The actual results cannot
begin 10 oe apparent for some months to
come at least
To say that the congress has done
nothing OF consequence Is to admit that
the Republican administration has made
a humiiatirE failure in d highly import
ant undertaking. This Is an admission
which no good Republican ought 10
make except upon indubitable evidence.
The American people-and especially
Kansas people-have enough faith in Mr.
Blaines ability to believe that he would
not allow a scheme Of this kind TO fall
through under his management. and
they VIII not accept any hasty judgment
upon the matter. II VIII vet appear
that the congress has not been sitting all

that the Canadian steamer left for Van
cOuver. The paper had come to him
through the Suez canal and across Asia.
He Immediately redirected it to the
London Times Office, and sent it back
home across the Pacific ocean and Amer
lea. 1t arrived in London again on the
sixty-ninth day after leaving it, having
Travelled completely around the world.
Five hours travel takes the tourist
from London to Liverpool. The distance
from Liverpool to Quebec is 1928 miles
less than from Liverpool to New York.
1t can easily be made in six days. The
route over the Canadian Pacific, from
Quebec to Vancouver, is 1850 miles long;
Over it trains can travel more than thirty
miles an hour, and the distance from
Quebec to Vancouver can be covered in
four days and four hours.
We are now at the western edge of
America. Across the Pacific ocean is
Hong Kong, the port for which the
Canadian Pacific steamers sail. A fast
steamer can go from Vancouver to Hong
Kong in IS day. The new ships of this
line viii be ocean racers.
At Hong Kong the return trip to Lon
don viii be made by way of the Suez
canal and Brindisi, and can be accom-
phshed III 80 days Thus the time from
London to Hong Kong Will be 28 days,
and that from Hong Kong to London
again will require 30 days, or IS days in
all, in which the tourist has gone around
the world and never once set foot upon
Yankee soil. This is the point especially
When the Russian railway
from st. Petersburg across Asia is fin

the writer, the time around the world
can be shortened to 80 days and 10

present law viii not meet with approval

understood 10 be the most objectionable
feature in what Is known as the Window
proposition. II may he wise and best
for the country to leave the question of
how much money shall Toe coined to the
discretion of the secretary of the treas
airy. bur the masses of the people don't
see IL that way. Their apprehension on
this point Is based upon the practice of
thai official OF complying with the law
only to the minimum limit. From this
ii is inferred that the coinage of two

CURED bat for the compulsory law.
