SCROFULA
1t is Foul Blood's ADVERTISE
rr1snt
But is is Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Yes, Scrofula, If anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
/ facilitating, stubborn and wen 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 i'm
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 few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA NJ.

A POPULAR VOTE.

The opponents of annexation will
press Senator BacOn's amendment to
the joint resolution of annexation.
which provides for a submission of the
matter to a vote OF the Hawaiian pso-
pie. The debate on this amendment
may cause much delay If defeated in
the Senate, it will be renewed in the
House, and will, it must be candidly adj
mitted, be regarded with much favor
by some of those who favor annexation.
A submission to popular vote is in ac-
cordance with hocratic practice. But
probably every member Of the Senate
and House now understands that the
Government of missionary thieves"
was the best that ever existed here, and
that the native vote would be cast
against annexation, more for simple
and inoffensive racial reasons, than
from convictions regarding good gov
eminent
The better and intelligent men in all
of the countries inhabited by the weak
er races, which are now dominated by
Great Britain, freely admit the inesti-
uable blessing of British rule, in pre-
serving law and order, and life and
property. A few of our intelligent ma
tives see that through the rule of this
from destruction by the Asiatic faction.
The argument for submitting the ques-
ton 20 popular vote loses the most of
it's force, and all of it's sentiment, when
it simply means giving the natives a
chance to wipe themselves out by Sc
curing the independence" of the ISL
tive is concerned means a friction of
races here, and whatever comes of it,
the native Hawaiian will, unfortunate
iy. be driven to the wall. So Congress
may see that submission of the matter
to vote really involves an injustice to
the natives themselves. That they
by giving way to their racial senti-
rnents in favor of independence is ma
tural enough. Senator Morgan affirmed
the right to this sentiment. But he
tried very briefly to show that safety
was of more importance than senti-
ment. The intelligent Spaniards of
California resented vigorously the an
nexation of that territory by force to
the United States, but some of them
have lived to see, and their children see
the inestimable value to them of the
change. 1t secured for them stability
of government and protection by law.
The native knows nothing about all
this and in claiming an independent
government only brings closer together
the racial mill stones which will grind
him to powder. One can not censure
him, but pity him as he invites his own
determination.
The white races are morally respon-
sible for many injuries inflicted on the
native race Captain Cook introduced
vile disease and no civilization. The
traders brought them rum, and the
whaleman from Puritan" New Eng
land almost submerged them with tidal
waves OF immortality, which the few
moral brooms in the hands of the mis-
sionaries, could not sweep back. These
were the crimes of civilization. But
from the best forces, laws and insti-
tutions of that same civilization. the
native can now find his only refuge
from speedy destruction. 1t is prob
lem which he cannot grasp.

SPANS DIFFICULTY.

Spain understands well enough that
in the event of war with the United
States, the Philippine Islands will be in
great danger of finally throwing off
Spanish rule. Those Islands would
quickly be reached by the American
American money would in
stantly supply the people with means
for the most vigorous aggressive war
fare. No doubt Japan would be glad
enough to annex the Islands Great
Britain, in new relations with Japan,
might assent to it, and aid in it, in
spite of the protests Of Russia and Ger
many.
The Spanish leaders know the dan
gers of the situation, and will not pro-
woke war. To do so, would be the close
of Spanish colonial government. AS the
matter now stands, the Spanish lead
ers, if it were not for the blind, almost
insane bigotry of the Spanish people,
would sell out Cuba TO the Americans,
or secure the guarantee of $500, 600, 900
of Cuban Indebtedness. War means the
loss of Cuba and the Philippine Islands,
and worse than all, the saddling on
Spain alone of the Cuban debt
The great financial houses of Europe
are probably doing some effective, but
quiet work in the matter. They will
prevent war if possible, so as to secure
something out of the Cuban wreck
