liable to the pains and aches of rheumatism dread
every change to damp or stormy weather. AL
though we do not claim Hoods Sarsaparilla to be
positive specific for rheumatism, the remarkable
cures il has effected show that it may be taken for

Its action in neutralizing the acidity of the blood
which is the cause of rheumatism, constitutes the
secret of the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla in cur

give Hoods Sarsaparilla fair trial. we believe it
will do you good.

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY,

augurate the Movement May I, 1890
A Plan for Full Discussion of the
Subject.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 15.-The first work be.
fore the American Federation Of Labor at
the morning session was the reception
OF the report of the Committee on Boy
colt and Labor. The committee recon-
mended several boycotts. The convention
then Endorsed the use of union labels
The Committee on Constitution reported
favorable to the amendment of Section 5,
Article 4, as to bar from afili alton with
the Federation any Central Labor body
that admits Knights of Labor or any or
ganizAtion antagonstic to the Federation
After several speeches for and against the
resolution, Halter, of Chicago, offered a
substitute resolution which excludes
bodies hostile to trade organization af1li-
ating with the Federation.
After some discussion Haller's substi-
tute was finally adopted. President Com.
pers then put the original motion, much to
the amazement of those who had just
voted for Haller's substitute, which they
had supposed was a substitute for the
committees proposition, and not an amend
ment to it. Gompers, however, decided
that it was offered as an amendment and
proceeded to put the original proposition
to a vote. The liberals rallied their
forces, however, and under Fosters
leadership defeated it, thus preventing an
open rupture between the Knights and the
Federation.
The committee on ''the elght-hour day"

that the secretary of the Federation shall
collect all possible statistics bearing
upon the question and its chances
of success; also that where posi-
BILE amicable arrangements shall be
made with employers for the short day.
The committee declined to set definite
day for the enforcement of the demand for
eight hours, throwing that question back
to the Federation for it's decision. After
much discussion it was decided to fix May
l, 1890, as the date.
Resolutions were adopted favoring the
Australian system of voting, requesting
President Harrison to appoint union
printer to the position of Public Printer,
asking from Legislatures AMI Congress
the repeal of all conspiracy laws,
and the passages of the bill now

TO MAKE NEW STATES,

Democratic Congressman in Caucus, Doc
eide to Increase the Number Of Stars
In the Flag by the Admission Of tho
Territories of Dakota, Washington,
Montana, New Mexico and Utah.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Democratic
caucus of the House met in the hall of
Representatives at 7:3O O'Clock Thursday
night and adjourned at 1O:45. The caucus
was harmonious. About seventy members
were present, Mr.. Cox IN. ~ presiding.
Mr.. Game q. T.) made an earnest speech
in favor of the admission of Utah as
State in the Union. She had, he urged a
sufficient population, aud the w was
such that no one could vote who
did not take an oath renouncing
polygamy. Speeches were made favoring
the division of Dakota by MIR. Dockery
(Mo.), Mr. Mansur (Mo.) and Mr.. Voor-
hees Nv. IT,. The latter strongly favored
the admission of Washington Territory
as State. Mr.. Oates (Ala.), Mr.. Herbert
(Ala.) and Mr.. Mcmillan tTenn.) opposed
the admission of any of the Territories at
this time, as all of them would
go Republican il admitted now. Mr.. Cox
said the Democrats might as we'll an
ticipate the inevitable and admit the Ter
ritories which were clamoring at the door
Of Congress for admission; If they were
not admitted now, they would be soon and
the Democratic party would gain no
prestige from it. II adm tied now they
would reap whatever prestige there was
to be derived from doing just and right
eous act. Speaker Carlisle spoke IN the
same strain. He favored admitting all Of
the Territories named in the Springer or
omnibus BILL This view seemed to be the
v ew of the caucus and the following reso-
luton was adopted:
''Resotued, That in the judgment OF this eau.
Gus provision should be made by which Dakota
may be admitted into the Union as one State,
or two States, as the people of the two pro-
posed States may hereafter determine; also
that the necessary legislation ought to be pro-
vided for the early admission into the Union
Of the Territories Of Washington, Montana and
New Mexico; that these measures should all
be embodied in one bill. either by the amend
ment OF the pending bill or otherwise as to
details, as the Committee on Territories shall
determines; and that an order of the House for
consideration of the measure should be made
at an early day, and the bill considered in the
House ut the earliest day practicable"
A separate resolution was approved adj
hitting the Territory of Utah as State.
At 10:45 the caucus adjourned. No other
question than the admission of the Terri
tories was considered.
