WHAT WE INHERIT

We are moi to blame for. We con-
not be held responsible for the dis
positions and tendencies which we
derive from our ancestors, nor are
we responsible for the germs of dis
ease which may manifest themselves
in our blood as heritage from form
er generations. But we are respon-
sible If we allow these germs to de-
teiop into serious diseases which
will impair our usefulness and de-
stroy our Happiness. We are respon-
sible if we transmit to our descend
ants the disease germs which it is
possible for US to eradicate by the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power TO make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place
of disease.

TALK ABOUT CUBA.
The Morgan Resolution Passes
the senate.-House Adjourns
Until Monday.

Washington, D. c., May 21.-Cu-
ban affairs have been the absorbing
topic of comment in all public
places today, except the capitol edi-
ice, which was practically deserted,
owing to the adjournment over until
Monday. Everybody is on the que
viye. Much speculation as to what
is likely TO be the outcome of the
Morgan resolution in the house and
considerable betting is INDUCED in
as to whether the house will or will
not pass the resolution. The Morgan
resolution passed the senate yester-
day. -
It is conceded that If Speaker
Reed would permit an Immediate
vote the resolution would be adopt
ed by pronounced majority, but
the power to delay present consider
alton Or to defeat vote rests in his
control, and with the administra-
ton pursuing a fabian policy, the
result is extremely doubtful.
MokINLEY's PLAN.
The administration plan, which is
being hera.ded as surprise in
store, is understood to be nothing
more nor less than the purchase of
Cuba by the Cubans for a price
which Spain will be urged to ac-
cept. This scheme, public men say,
will not be popular with the Amer
lean people, and the suggestion is
offered that if Speaker Reed would
throw down the bars, and allow a
square and free vote on the Morgan
he would make the best
political move of his life.
No official Information coIld be
obtained as to what action the house
may take on the Cuban resolution !
passed by the senate yesterday, bat
it was understood that Speaker Reed |
would have conference on the
subject and no action would be |
taken until after the conference. |
The inference was that the action of |
he house managers would be guild
I'd to large extent by results of
hat conference. 1t is probable that
some attempt will be mao on the
part of the democrats TO have the
considered as soon as it
caches the house, but this cannot
,e done except by unanimous con-
ent. which will not be given, or by
pecial order from the committee on
ules. This special order will not
,e brought in until the republican
eaders are ready for action.
