Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1894-10-12

Rock Island is today honored with
a visit from the vice president of the
United States, a man who is dis
tinguished not only in the high office
he holds through the suffrage of his
countrymen, but through his per-
sonal worth as a man and as a citi-
zen of the republic. In all the offices
of public trust he has held he has
discharged his duty with great dis
tinction, and his public services have
been such as to enroll his name
among the foremost men. not only of
the state of Illinois which is proud
to claim him as a son, but of the ma
ton. 1t was as first assistant post
master general under President
Cleveland's first administration, that
through his vigilance and energy in
filling the places of republicans with
democrats, that he first endeared
himself to the party that afterward
honored him with the second highest
Office within the gift of the govern
ment. As vice president, republic
cans rs well as democrats, accord
him the distinction of discharging
the duties of presiding officer of the
senate. with as becoming dignity and
fitness as has ever been shown in tina
chair.
Adlai f. Stevenson is one of the
men Of whom not only the demo
cratic party, but the nation, is proud.

circulars among the people for the pur-
pose of creating sympathy for the
south. And this il the kind of evil
dence the Union expects to present
in contradiction OF the sworn state
ment of the vice president of the
United States, and numerous other
citizens of Bloomington, to the effect
that he had always been a loyal citi-
zen. THE ARGUS still maintains that
the American people are greater than
any man or set of men. and they
don't elect disloyal citizens to the
highest offices in their gift.

Threats Against witnesses.

NEW YORK, Oct 12-For the third time
since the Lexow investigations commenced
Chief Counsel Golf produced evidence to
show threats have been made to put an
end to witnesses who have appeared be-
fore the senators conducting the examina-
ton. Samuel Kaufman, tailor's sales
man, gave the substance of a conversation
which he claimed took place on an ele-
waited train just after Policeman COrcoran
left the witness stand Monday. Corcoran
was alleged to have asserted ''he would
make those witnesses as dead as a door

some dark night"

Springfield Register: Mckinley
stated in his speech that the demo-
cratic tariff law is sectional in it's
character. because southern products
are highly protected. He did not
explain, however. that his robber
tariff law gave the sugar raisers Of
Louisiana &l2, 100000 annually in
bounty. and that the duties on south
ern products are lowered from the
figures they bore under his law. He
cannot plead ignorance Of the figures
in his own schedules, and must know
that the duties on rice. sugar and
cotton. the three chief staples of the
south, are less today than they were
before the democratic tariff law was
enacted.

Common Sense and Food.

The doctors, in truth, have accumu'
lated a great stock Of knowledge as to
food. They know what ought to be
eaten and drunk They know what
ought to be refused, and they know,
within the limits fixed by climate and
labor, what are the beneficial quantities
to be consumed, but they have entirely
failed to make their knowledge perme-
ate the world. The educated have only
glimmering ideas as to what their chill
dren should eat. Half Of them, till a
few years ago, had a sort Of horror OF
sugar, one of the most nourishing Of all
substances-and the uneducated have
positively no ideas on the subject. They
Just eat and give their children what
they can get. 1t may be said that this is
inevitable, because the majority in all
countries are too poor to do anything
else, but is that true?
We are not pretending to be experts,
but if we understand what professionals
say much of the best food produced in
the world is also the cheapest. Oatmeal,
for example, is very much better than
wheat bread and infinitely better than
rye bread, and it is cheaper than either.
Hardly anything in the world is as
nourishing as lentils, which might be
sold much cheaper than bread, and
eaten, too, with dripping, an invaluable
combination. Millet, ON which the big
races of India grow so tall and strong,
might, if there were demand for it in
Europe, be fer cheaper than wheat, and
so might "corn -four" on which Ken
tuckians, the strongest race in America,
are bred, though that requires mixtures
with less nitrogenous diet.-London

1ndestructIbIIity of the Diamond.

For thousands Of years after the dis
covery Of the diamond it was believed to
be indestructible, as far as acids and fire
were concerned As respects the acids
believe that it is still maintained that
there are none known that will dissolve
it. In the eleventh century Bishop Rem
mes wrote the following concerning the
diamond in his poem, "The Lapidarl-
um:"
Hardness invincible which naught can tame,
Untouched by steel and unconquered by hame'
The last words Of the second line are
not true under all circumstances. If air
be freely admitted to the retort a dia-,
mond will burn like piece Of bitumi-
nous coal as soon as the temperature is
raised above 5000 degrees Of the Fab
renheit scale. Such excessive heat can
not, Of course, be measured by Fahrenheit
thermometers, but is recorded on an in
strument called pyrometer But in
regard to the fusibility of the diamond,
while the experiment has proved that
it is instantly reduced to ashes if sub
jected to heat of 5000 in an open re-
tort, counter experiments also prove
that il the air be excluded no known
degree Of heat will materially affect it.
