Simply Awful
~Worst Case of ’Scrofula the
Doctors Ever Saw
Completely: Cured by HOOD’S
SARSAPARILLA.
“ When I was 4. or 5 years old I had a scrot-
ulous sore on the middle finger of my left hand,
which got so bad that the doctors cut the
finger off and later took of! more than half my
hand. hen the sore broke out on my arm,
came out on my neck and face on both sides,
nearly destroying the sight of_one eye, also
on my right arm. Doctors said it was the
Worst Case of Scrofula
they ever saw. It was simply awful! Five
years ago I began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Gradually I found that the sores were begin-
ning to heal. I kept on till I had taken ten
bot les, ten dollars! Just think of what a
return I got for that investment! alumn-
ound per com? Yes, many thousand. For
the past 4 years I have had no sores. I

. Before, I could do no work. I know not
what to say strong enough to express my grat
itude to Hood’s Sarsa arilla for my perfect
cure.” GEORGE W. URNER, Farmer, Gal-

Good Roads by a League.
It’s a. fashion of the day to form
leagues to do nearly everything under
the sun, and the latest organization of
this sort is called the National League
for Good Roads. It was organized in
Chicago and is to have its permanent
headquarters in Washington after the
\Vorld’s Fair is over. The league is to
have representatives from - Boards of
Trade, Chambers of Commerc, Patrons
of Husbandry, rmers’ associations
and the League of American Wheel-
men. In brief, business men, farmers,
professional horsemen and bicycle
riders are to join in an effort to secure
roads that are not a peril to life and
limb and that do not make a drive or
ride in the country a penance rather
than a pleasure. '
If a league for good roads shall bring
us an era of good roads, it will prove
one of the most beneficent leagues ever
. organized. The average country road
is an abomination, and it must be con-
fessed that very little improvement has
been made in. road-making in the last
quarter of a century. In fact, when the
freight and passenger traffic of the
country was carried on by coaches and
wagons, there were some long lines of
public road better than any now in e:-
istence. The country has been build-
ing railways and neglectingr the com-
mon country highways. It is quite
time some intelligent attention was paid
to the latter.

Christopher Columbus.
The various public exercises of the
last two weeks have very naturally
drawn considerable attention to the life
and character of Christopher Columbus.
Like a Presidential candidate he has
been fulsomely praised and me'rCilessly
assailed. It seems to us, however, that
the moral character of Columbus has
very little to do with his greatness as a
geographer and explorer, and even if
it had we should not try Columbus by
the standard of to—day. We should re-
member that four hundred years ago
civil and religious liberty were unprac-
ticed if not unknown. Science was but
an infant. Slavery was upheld by the
law and uncondemned by the average
private conscience. Men sought to
- bring their fellow men to a knowledge
of the Prince of Peace by compulsory
and forcible means. Born and bred
amid such a public sentiment, much
that to-day would be inexcusable in the
career of Columbus can be passed by
without censure. Amid all that has been
said and written about Columbus, the
great bulk of the speakers and writers
are more or less friendly toward the
great navigator. Here and there a man
courting notoriety, or desiring to pose
as a censor of morals, has emptied his
slush-bucket I of abuse on Columbus.
Whether the partisans or detractors of
Columbus are right or wrong as to his
metal character, it must be admitted
that he was far in advance of his times,
. and that as a geographer and explorer
he led the way for hundreds of, follow
ers, and it is such far-sighted and ener-
getic men as Columbus that push for-
ward. the car of human progress. It
should be remembered that Columbus
sought by his enterprise to advance
peaceful commerce rather than to find
fieldsof conquest. Columbus set sail
as a missionary and trader» and not as
an Alexander looking for new. nations
to subdue. That such a thing actually
happened was due to the fact that the
size of Asia. was over-estimated by the
great navigator. Besides, We should
remember that the know-it-all people
of Columbus’ time looked upon him as
a crank which he undoubtedly was, and
like all'cranks, one idea dominated his
life, and to further that idea. his zeal
may have mastered at times his sense of
right and wrong. The life and career
of Christopher Columbus show ,him to
have becn a man of an iron will and
unconquerable purpose. Such men may
not always be saints, but as a rule they
are no worse than the average man of
their times, and their actions reflect
clearly the state of the public con-
science. Columbus was a great man
and will be so considered by the world
while his cheap detractors will sink into
oblivion.

Mr- Blaine on the Canvass. '
James G. Blaine has written an arti-
cle on the. present National campaign,
which appears in the Novtmber num-
ber of the North American Review. It
covers thirteen pages.
' Mr. Blaine notes the lack of excite-
ment attending the present elections,
contrasting it with the turmoil of inter-
est that characterized the campaign of
the elder Harrison. This change of
the public interest. in such contests, he
suggests, may be accounted for by the
growth in population and the conse-
quent absorption of public interest by
vast commercial and financial opera- .
ations, and it may possibly indicate a
subsidence in the future of extreme
partisanship.
Of President Harrison’s letter he
says that “perhaps none of his prede-
cessors has made so exhaustive a pre-
sentation of the questions involved.”
Mr. Cleveland’s letter Mr. Blaine finds
departs from the platform of his party,
and that Mr. Cleveland’s departures
from the positions of his party’s plat—
form on the question of Free Trade
confirms the impression that a large
proportion of the Democratic party be- '
lievc in Protection in some form.”
Dealing with the claim of the Demo-
cratic party to to be the Jefl’ersonian
party, Mr. Blaine says:
“It would surprise Jefi'erson if he
could once more appear in the flesh, to
learn that he is held as indorser of all
the principles and measures advocated
by the Democratic party to-day. Mr.
Buchanan. a confirmed Federalist. was
the President-elect of the Democracy,
though it is well known that the object
of Mr. Jefferson’s most intense dislike
was the Federal party. -
In 1801, after'a severe contest, Jefi‘er-
son came to the Presidency as the
founder and head of the Republican
party. The prefix Democratic was
sometimes, though seldom, used.
The tenacity - with which Jefferson
held to the protective principle was
only proportioned to the necessities of
the country. His action in 1807, when
he declined to recommend the repeal
or alteration of the Revenue law, after
a surplus of fourteen millions had been
accumulated, puts him in the sharpest
contrast to Mr. Cleveland, who. in his
term of office, treated the surplus ac-
cumulated as the sum of all villainies.”
In conclusion, Mr. Blaine calls atten-
tion to the essential agreement of the
Democrats with the Republicans on
the great majority of issues. “It is in-
teresting and suggestive," he says, “to
look over the platforms of the two par-
ties and see how much alike they are in
several vital measures, after the real
and divisive issues have been statec .”
A Gover’nor Who Governs.
Those persons who imagined that Mr.
Roswell P. Flower possessed no quali-
fications for political life except a cher-
ubic countenance, a globular person,
and an inflamed bank account, made a
sad and singular mistake in the opinion
of the Washington Post. Gov. Flower
has shown that he is a man of courage
and firmness, of strong character, and
patriotic purpose. He has conferred
new dignity upon the office. He has
challenged the respect and confidence
of the people, not only in New York,
but throughout the country.
When the labor riots at Buffalo broke
out, Gov. Flower" showed at once that
he intended to enforce the law and pro-
tect society at every cost. He was
found to be a strong instead of a pliant
and yielding magistrate. He proposed
no faint-hearted compromise with vio-
lence and anarchy. His hand wore
mail, not velvet, Then, again, when
the Long Island baymen disgraced
themselves and outraged civilization
by their barbarous demonstration
against the iii acted passengers on the
Normannia, Gov. Flower was found to
be the resolute and fearless champion
of humanity. And now comes the case
of the convict, James Hughes, for
whose pardon the Central Labor Union
of New York is moving. That organi-
zation. or, at least, those who claim to
be its representative officials, have de-
manded the man’s pardon. and have
practically threatened the Democratic
party with the loss of their 12,000 votes
unless the demand be complied with.
To all of whichthe governor responds :
“I am not in the habit of granting
pardons upon the demand or threat of
any body of citizens. Applications for
executive clemency are considered on
their merits. Nor do I conceive it my
duty to grant pardon for campaign pur-
poses. On account of the political as-
pect which Hughes’ friends have iven
to the application in his behalf, I ave
refused to consider it until after elec-
tion. It may as well be understood
now as later that the governor of this
state is not to be bulldozed just before
election, or at an other time, in the
discharge of his 0 cial obligations.”
We had occasion to remark some
time ago, referring to a. matter in which
he had just distinguished himself, that
Gov. Flower was growing. Perhaps
we should have said that he was re-
vealing the real force and courage
of his character. At all events, it is

Flower is one of the very strongest
men in American political life. He may
not be a sweet singer from the stump
or a juggle: with theatrical effects or a
master of any of theartsof self-display,
but that he is a patriot of high resolve,
of sturdy fiber, and of indomitable
pluck, is now patent to us all; He is
made of the material that the Repub:
lic needs in its places of power and re
sponsibility. He is not a demagogue;
he is a governor who governs.
