Miss Grover was a great counterpoise on the negative, and in her opening ar gument made a lawyer-like point by quoting further from Brice, in answer to Miss Brown, where on the same page he distinctly said conditions might be improved in the senate by jiopular elec tions. It was the only argument that re ceived a cheer from the audience. Miss Grover thought it was striking at the very roots ot democracy to sav that the slums would control by the change. Leg islatures do good work when there is no senator to elect, and distract attention from other interests. The present sys tem is not democratic, as it originated in aristocracy, the framers of the constitu tion living aristocratic as well as demo cratic, and the two houses were the re sult of u compromise between the two elements. Townsend was quoted to show that the constitutional fathers feared to trust the people. Now the peo ple are satisfied with democracy, and as many as thirteen states have had bills looking to a change in the manner of electing senators. No such bills have lieeti directed at the house. Miss Wilkinson, who made one of the coolest arguments of the evening, and who possesses the qualities of a first-c1a«s debater, referred to Kansas as having made hh attempt to express the will of the people in the choice of a senator, and Spring Those 1111- ■ ■ Humors tions, painful boils, annoying pim ples and other affections, wliich ap pear so generally ut this season, make the use of that grand Spring Medi cine, Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a necessity. The accumulated impurities in the blood cause very different symptoms with some people. The kidneys, liver and bowels are overmatched in their efforts to relieve the clogged system. Dizzy headaches, bilious attacks, failure of appetite, coated tongue, lame back, indigestion and that tired feeling are some results. From the same cause may also come scrofula, neuralgia, sciatica or rheu matism. All these troubles and more may prop erly be called “ Spring Humors,” and just as there is one cause, a cure is found in just one remedy, and that is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Hood's Sarsaparilla purities the impure blood, enriches blood which is weak and thin, vitalizes blo<xl which lacks vitality. Thus it reaches every part of the human system.
