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.

Nesbitt, of the state agricultural department, succeeded in defeating Commis sioner Henderson by the argument that he held the oflice eight years which he said was long enough for one man to hold such an office. He is now serving his fourth term as commissioner, and Senator Stevens-one of the most popular farmers of southwest Georgia-in forms Mr. Nesbitt that he propos es to use against him the same argument used se effset ' ively by Mr. Nesbitt against Com missioner Henderson.

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.” Mrs. J. M. Hatch, Etna, New Hampshire.

The devil then got Into the moulding room, and he created the fellow who takes the paper for years and then fads to pay for it.
