The slug sidewalk on the north side of Kirk avenue, from Commerce to Henry street, is a good improvement and will prove a source of comfort aud conven? ience to the public. Wherever tried side? walks of slag and sand seem to cive guc ernl satisfaction, and as the materials are comparitivoly cheap and easily accessi? ble, they might be used with benefit and economy in many parts of the city. Some of the Red Men in the Indian " Territory are showing a warlike spirit and orders have been issued by the Secre? tary of War for dotachments of United States soldiers to bo sent at once to the points threatened. The noble Red Man has cost this country a vase amount of blood and treasure and ho is likely to con? tinue for some time to come a thorn in tha flesh of this great republic. The refusal of the Chicago Federal ion of Labor to joiu In a demonstration in the memory of the anarchists executed for the Haymarket~massacre shows that the great majority of the laboring men of that city and of the country generally t^o no sympathy with that class of rev? olutionists. In this country since tho foundation of the government the ballot has been found sufficient to remedy exist? ing evils: but even should this fail there is the last resort of open aud honorable revolution without recourse to assassina? tion by the most cruel and blood-thirsty methods W. J. Futch, the United States soldier who deserted his post at Fort McPher son, Ga., to visit his mother, who ho heard was going blind nt Savannah, will no doubt have to suffer for his lapse of duty, but there are extenuating circum? stances in his case which appeal to all sons -vho love their mothers or the mem? ory of what they were to them, and it is hoped while the enforcement of the proper discipline will require a certain amount of punishment In his case, that tue quality of mercy will not be entirely lacking. The all-absorbing question in regard to Cuba is as to the course > f the new Span? ish cabinet in regard to autonomy and what effect it will have on the policy of tho leaders of the Cuban revolution. Senor Sagasta, the liberal Spanish pre? mier, says his party is prepared to grant to the island all possible self-govern? ment, n bread tariff, and every|concession compatible with an indexible defense of Spanish rule and sovereignty in the West Indies, but will not assent to for? eign interference in any shape. All of the Cuban leaders in the United States reject tho proposals of autonomy for the people of the island; but are willing to guarantee Spain an indemnity of $200, 000,000 for the acknowledgement ol tho independence of Cuba. As no party in Spain could accept such a proposition it looks very much liko the eud of tho revolution was not yet in sight. SCROFULA It is Foul Blood's Advertise? ment But It is Soon Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may bo called the advertisement of foul blood. It is the scourge of the world?offensive, painful, debilitating, stubborn and well nigh unendurable. Outward applications do not cure, they only drive the difficulty to new quarters. Emollients may palliate, they cannot abolish the evil. There is but ono sure way out, and that is to eliminate tho taint from the blood. There is one remedy that can effect this, and it is the only one that, so far au wo know, has almost invariably succeeded ? even where t ho system has been poisoned by long years of taint, and the ravages to be repaired are tremendous. That remedy is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Read this: " My daughter was afllictcd with im puro blood. Thero were running Bores all over her body and they caused her much suffering. We tried medicines that wero recommended as blood purifiers, but could not sec that they did any good. A friend told mo about Hood's Sarsapa? rilla and I began giving the girl this med? icine. Tho result was that she was per? fectly cured after taking a few bottles. She has had no symptoms of scrofula sores since that time." Marietta M. Smith, South Middleboro, Mass.

THE YOST-HUFF CO., LIMITED, 208 Jefferson street, Roanoke, Va. Should the wonderful yield of gold in the Klondike region continue a railroad will soon be constructed from somo point on the Canadian Pacific to Dawsou City. 1 ho construction of such a road in the opinion of Canadian engineers who have been over the ground will not be as diffi? cult or expensive ns many suppose. It ia said that two surveys are now being made from difTerent"points on the Canadian Pacific railroail to Dawson City, one by a prlvato corporaticn and the other by the Dominion government, and it is as? serted by the advocates of the andertaK Ing that it will be necessary to build only ninety miles of railroad to make a 'good rail aud water route to the center of the gold fields. The rnilroad can be operated the year round, but during the^ winter mouths the water route 'will, of course, be nearly all Ice. The total length of *he route will be about 600 miles THE NEW YORK MAYORALTY. The contest for tho mayoralty "of Greater New York grows in interest. Four candidates are already in the field, aud the peop'o of the metropolis are man? ifesting a degee of interest greater, so far as they are concerned, than they would in a national campaign. As the new government of the consolidated cit'es will control an immense amount of pat? ronage in the wey of offices aud other things, the contest for supremacy will be a hot one. Just at this time it is bard to p-edlct wltat party or faction will be suc? cessful. Two candidates claim to ue Re? publican and two call themselves Dem ocrats.whtle the regular organizations of the two parties say they have eacY. only one candidate in the field, Chief Justice Robert A. Van Wyck being the nominee of the Tammany Democracy nnd Gen? eral B. F. Tracy the^ candidate of the straight or Platt Republicans, and Henry George, the single tax advocate, has been nominated by what is called the United Democracy, aud Seth Low, the ore3ident of Columbia College, is the nominee of the Citizens' Union. Mr. Gecrge claims to be a Democrat, but som? of his views are too advance3 to be woolly acceptable to all members of that party, and while President Low claims to be a Republican many of the latter proncunce him to be a mugwump and disorganizes It is thought by some ns tho campaign pro? gresses that the contest will nurrow down to two candidates, but who they will b?? is difficult to determine at this stage of the political game. FALSE SENTIMENTALITY. T. H. Loftin, the negro appointed post? master at Hogausville, Georgia, has con oludea, so the dispatches state, to accept a place under the government at Wash? ington and not take any more risks con? nected with holding a position to which the white people of the community ob? ject. He shjs he is willing to stay at Hogausville and fight it out; but he be? lieves at the same time that lie will lie killed, and as his friends coincide in this latter view it is said the administra? tion will provide a place for him in Wash? ington, but will prosecute his assailants to the fullest extent of the law. We arc not in favor of the method al? leged to have been pursued by the people of Hogausville to rid themselves of an objectionable Federal office holder; but, as every community should have a voice in the selection of its postmaster, we are not prepared to say that the white citi? zens of Hogausville, who no doubt con? tributed most largely to cue support of the postoflice, had no rights in tho prom? ises. The lesson of this unfortunate affair, however, is this, that'in appoint? ing negroes to important federal posl ions in the South tho present Republi? can administration is making a mistake, which, if persisted in, will not only drive every self-respecting Southern white man into the Democratic party, hue In the end n.ay result, in thoroughly alienating the South and the North. There has never been a time in the his? tory of tiio United States when the South was more loyal to the Union than It. Is now, but sections, like individuals, when insults are added to injuries, are sure in the estimate of their wrongs to include the old ones as well as those of more recent date, and thus their resent? ment Is intensified. Tho Republican party cannot afford to ignore the preju? dices of the South, unless, relying on the numerical superiority of the North, it hopes to perpetuate its power by array? ing ono section solidly ngalnst tho other, and in that enso .they,would las using a two-edged sword which might cut both ways. The position which this government has assumed as tho arbiter of the des? tinies of this continout would be a most ridiculous assumption without a coiintry thoroughly homogeneous In sentiment and aspiration. Even now Europe is booming alarmed at tho growing power of this country and its claims iu regard to this hemisphere. A coalition of the leadiog nations there against the Uuited States in tho near future is by no means Impossible, and, when every man aud all its resources might be needed to defend tho honor and integrity of this country, the rights of a few neuroes to hold Fede? ral offices in the South would pale Into utter iuslgnificance even in the minds of those who now profess to love them and would ^reward them for their votos in helping to secure for their candidate the Republican nomination for President. Until his recent appointment of negroes to Federal posit ions iu tho South Presi? dent McKinley was looked upon by th0 white people of this section as honest aud comparatively liberal in his views for a Republican; but his recent course, if persisted In, will thoroughly reverse this sentiment,aurj he will be universally regarded by them as narrow and bigoted. It is hoped however, that the administra? tiv.! will awake to tho folly of such a policy, aud, while insisting on absolute justice to all classes and conditions of men in all sections of the Union, will have the sense to see that in ignoring the prejudices of the intelligent people of this section under the [plea of a (also sentimentality it is pursuing a course founded on neither right nor justice.

WOMEN AND POHTAL BANKS. Wherever postal savings banks are in operation women are anionn tho most appreciative patrons of the system. As a rule women aro more careful of small sums than men, and seem to have a moro practical realization of the value of such accumulations. In man/ families it is omy the foresight of the wife that leads to provisions being made against a day of adversity. The. desire of women more generally than of men is for a place of absolute *afety for their small savings rather than high rates of interest. Con? sequently they are especially appreciative of tho stability which the postal savings hank alTords. Probably congress could do no other one thing that, wotud so com? mend it to the womeu of the country as would tho establishment cf a postal sav ings'bank system.?Chicago Record.
