The Case of Vardaman.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
The only word I have seen on the other
side of the Vardaman postoffice matter
(and read T h J o u r n a regularity
Is a statement by Governor Vardaman that
he had never written or spoken one word,
good or bad, about the mother of Theodore
Roosevelt. In the interest Of fairness,
why take it for granted that man has
committed an offense against decency
without asking for proof? Things Of this ma
ture only stir up sectional strife that
would rend the country in end. I like
Theodore Roosevelt, and don't like grand
papa clauses aPg " gpsHsSs in being fair air.
Governor Vardaman is the owner
and responsible editor of a Missis-
sippi daily newspaper, and it was in
the columns OF that newspaper that
the scurrilous assault upon the presi-
dents mother appeared. Governor
vardaman has never disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the utterances Of his
newspaper or sought to explain them
in any way. His denial thus becomes
bubble, an evasion. He was not
frank. He simply confined himself to
saying that he had personally said and
written nothing of the character COM
planned Of by the postmaster general.
That may be the truth, but it is APP
parently not all the truth. The post
master general did q real service to
the country when he held this man UP
to public contempt.

It is announced from Ottawa that the
deportation case against q. r. Bacon, the
American who is harbor Inspector for the
Grand Trunk Pacific at Port Arthur, has
been abandoned by order Of the minister
Of the interior, Hon. Clifford sitton. Mr..
sifton's hobby is immigration, and he is
making a speciality Of American immigra-
ton. He is doubtless beginning to APP
preciate the fact that the agitation over
the employment Of American engineers by
the Grand Trunk Pacific is neutralizing
much Of the immigration work done In
this country by his department.

Pains OF rheumatism Can be Cured
Through the Blood.
Mrs. E. NJ. De Long, of No. 100 West
Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found
herself suddenly attacked by rheuma-
tism in the winter of 1895. She gave
the doctor a chance to help her, which
he failed to improve, and then she did
some thinking and experimenting of her
own. She was so successful that she
deems it her duty to tell the story Of her
escape from suffering:

Pills are so good for the blood, they
must be good for rheumatism and worth

DIR. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue, strong
muscles and nerves, capable of bearing
the strain that nature puts upon them.
They really make new blood and cure
