THE MOST COMPLETE ONE.

From the Pittston Gazette.
The most complete political handbook
ever issued by an inland newspaper is that
published by the Scranton Tribune, a
copy of which has just come to hand. 1t
contains complete political, census and
other statistics relating to nation, state
and county, with other useful Informal
ton. The book compares most favorably
with the political handbooks of the met
ropOlitan journals.

WHERE, INDEED.
From the Philadelphia Times.

Fate teaches strange lessons in the
mutations of American politics. Senator
Penrose would have been unthought oil
for the United States senatorship at TINS
time but for his perlidious betrayal ana
defeat for the nomination for mayor TWO
years ago. He had been recommended
for the chief magistracy of the city in
the editorial columns of every daily nc VS.
paper of Philadelphia, and a man who
could command such d tribute from jour
nails of every faith and inclination should
have been invincible against the shafts
of malice; but pertidous leaders VINO
hated him for his integrity, with words
of friendship for his ears while aiming
the dagger at his heart invented the
most malicious and bewildering Caiuc1-
nies, which misled many good citizens into
distrust of his personal character, and
under that distrust he was betrayed aud
crucifed by the very political leaders who
had called him to the field as the most
available candidate for mayor. 1t was
the blow of the malignant scandal-mongrr
that overthrew him in that contest; the
recoil has made him United States sena-
tor.
That Senator Penrose largely profited
by the attempts to defame him through
out the state after the defamers in his
own immediate vicinity had long been
silenced, cannot be doubted by any who
dispassionately reviews the exceptionally
bitter contest that has Just closed. The
sentiment of fairness and manliness Is
masterful in the minds of the American
people, and in no state is it more potent
than among the intelligent fair-minded
people of Pennsylvania. Seeing that
every legislator in the senatorial district
in which he and his chief competitor both
reside with two-thirds of the senators
and a majority of the representatives of
the entire city, rallied to his support for
senator all the efforts to defame him
simply intensified his friends and quick
ened every attribute of manliness in sym
pathy with him. While he possesses the
ability and the character to make for
midable candidate for United States SEN
ator under any conditions, it is certainly
true that the ineXorable laws of fate,
which hold retributive justice as their
chief weapon, have made Boies Penrose
the new United States senator from Penn,
sylvania. Where now are his defamers?

SCROFULA
Il is Foul Blood's Advertise
ment
But It is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarsapariIla.

SarsapariIla.
Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, SO far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with inn
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine, The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms Of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
