 Poisoned With Creeping ivy. As tho old school of medicine simply tried to remove the symptoms instead of the sources of them, much of the poison was left in my system to appear in an itching humor on my body with every violent ex- ertion in warm weather. At all times there were more or less indications of poison in my blood, uptoayear ago last winter, when
 Large Sores Broke Out on my body. Ithen purchased bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and after using that and half of another bottle, the sores and humor disappeared.

this paper that we speak today calmly but frankly of the financial condition of Rome and the general apathy and in- dolenoe of the Roman senate
 We have before taken occasion to speak our mind upon national affairs, and the free and full indorsement of the people, as shown by our increased cir oulation and the average number of want advertisements, which have grown from l5S per week to 1855 within the past three years, has been our reward.
 Since the publication of Tho Roman Punch began three years ago we have repeatedly asserted without successful contradiction that the Roman senate is falling off year by year, and from an exhibition of forensic eloquence it has become simply social gathering of pes tered ont politicians, who meet, smoke, swap immoral stories, collect their mile. age and go home
 Where are the silver tongued orators whose speeches have ornamented the Fourth Readers for centuries before Christ?
 Where are the men who placed their country first and their pocketbooks last? Where are the senators who once held the attention of all Rome, yet never had more than one toga in the wash at one time?
 They have given place to ordinary business men, many of whom do not ad- vertise
 The Roman Punch has always been fearless and hewed to the line, let the chips fall where they may. To that we owe an increase of circulation which is phenomenal, and a growth of the num- Der of our want ads. from 153 to 165 average per week, and all within the brief period of three years.
 The latest indignity offered to the people of Rome comes in the shape of Aqueous Aurelius, the manager of the Coliseum, who aspires to a seat in the senate.
 Is it surprising that at such an insult Tho Roman Punch should assert itself and say to all Rome this is tho time to call a halt? [Also, dinna ye hear the slogan, and other statements of like charaoter?l Aqueous Claudius Quintius Aurelius has no more idea of states manship than the subconsoious wild ass of the desert has of melody.
 And in what way, forsooth, hath he succeeded? Hath he not perverted tho great amphitheater of the Eternal City and turned tho mighty Coliseum under his management from moral zoolog. ical exhibit and congress of wonders to a rude aggregation of living pictures at 3 sesterces admission to all parts of the house?
 And because Tho Roman Punch saw fit to hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may. did not Aqueous Cla- dius Quintius Aurelius take out his two column display ad.. and with flashing eye and Quivering breath not only re- fuse a box to our editor. but hurl de- fiance in our teeth, and later on, at l4S2 Appian Way, northwest with naughty mien and with wicked utter ance hissed through his clinoh-ed teeth, bid us-aye, even us-to go to?

"Upon the register for those friendly to enfran- ohisement of women are the names of many of our most influential people, members of the bar. college professors. physicians. leading business men and scores of names of our prominent wom- en, while long list of names is also seen of those who approve of women voting for school trustees and making women eligible for positions on school boards. This list of names for school suffrage is to be sent to the next legis. laturo to help enforce the claims of women to this school suffrage.'' ''

A WRITER in local contemporary
makes great mistake whom he infers
that because the immigrant population
OF the United States cherish the old
traditions OF fatherland, and their hearts
still turn with affectionate yearning to
the place of their birth when the recur-
renee Of some old anniversary or long
kept festival brings up the recollection
OF the happy times gone by, their devo-
ton to the land Of their adoption IS less
deep or fervent, says the Providence
Visitor. There holy feelings Of patriotic
love have been perverted by ther oppo-
nents into weapon of offence against
them; but we cannot admit that they
should on that account bg cast aside.
We should think very little of the man
mo matter how ardent he might be IN
his professions Of attachment. to his
adopted country whose heart contained
no corner wherein love for the land that
brought him forth yet found resting
place. And we have yet to learn the
name Of one really great and good Am.
erican who has joined the A. P. A. faction
in oatracizing their adopted fellow citi-
zens, or lent the sanction of his name by
endorsing their principles.

urgent appeals to the administration to
take hasty steps toward resenting the
great insult to our flag. According to
their reasoning it would be very easy to
compel Spain, weakened as she is by

Admit that this reasoning is correct,
and still it is difficult to zee how the
United States could justify herself be-

an act, it would be highly impolitic for
the United States to annex Cuba. Its
inhabitants are foreigners with nothing
in common with the people Of the United
States. We have more territory than we

foreigners than we can Americanize in
