BACON’S FAIR PROPOSITION.
The Bacor. amendment to the
Hawaiian treaty, which proposes
to submit it to a vote of 'he peo
ple of the Hawaiian Islands, is
certainly a very fair on-3, or at
least one which the annexationists
ought to be willing to accept.
Surely the Urited States do not
wish to annex an unwilling peo
ple. Annexationists have held ou t
the idea that the people of the is
lands are anxious to come in. The
amendment exclud es 'he Chinese
and Japanese from voting.
As to the Chinese, they are not
admitted to American naturaliza
tion, but as to the Japanese, the
' qvestion is still an open one. The
Bacon amendment is, thorjfore,
somewhat fairer for '.he annexa
tionists than they have a right to
demand, but let it go at that.
The vote will show whether,
excluding two of the larger class
of residents, the peop'e of Hawaii
wish to be annexed or no . A sub
mission to the present voters of
Hawaii would not he fair, because
under the constitution and laws
of the opera-houtfe republic a
man has virtually to declare for
annexation before he is allowed to
vote. —Louisville Courier Journal.

Scrofula Sores
Neighbors Could Not Bear to Look
Upon Her—A Crand, Complete
Cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Arte Others Failad.
“1 wa.i taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this, i
scrofula fioze appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face looked so bad that some of my
neighbors canid not bear to look at me
and advised ino to wear a bandage, but I
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So I
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with a case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time I saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
I have never had any symptom of scrofula
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affliction. The neuralgia is also cured.”
