EDITORS STAND BY BRYAN
Democratic Newspaper Men OF Illinois
lndorse Free Silver.

Democratic Newspaper Men OF Illinois
lndorse Free Silver.
Chicago, Ill, Oct. "a The demo.
cratic editors of Illinois wound up
their annual meeting yesterday by
declaring their allegiance to free
silver, Bryan and the whole 1896
democratic platform. They also de-
clared that John Riley Tanner Is a
typical republican Governor and that
the last Legislature was a typical
republican Legislature Ths plat
form adopted reads as follows:
The Democratic Editorial Associa
tion of Illinois renews it's devotion
to the principles of the democratic
party as taught by Thomas Jefferson
aud Andrew Jackson and clearly de
fned by the democratic national
convention of 1896 and indorsed at
the polls by more than 6,5UO,OOO
voters in the United States.
We heartily indorse the platform
ad ,pted at Chicago last year, and re-
iterate the declaration therein made
that the money question is the para.
mount question before the people
and we renew our determination to
continue the fight for the feee and
unlimited coinage OF silver and gold
at the legal ratio of 16 to l, without
waiting for the consent of any other
nation, and pledge to the cause our
allegiance and devotion until the
gold and silver coinage OF the con
s;itution shall be restored.
We send greetings to our great
leader, William J, Bryan, who 81
fully met the responsibility Of the
memorable campaign of 1896, anc
who, though defeated, is stronger
to-day in the hearts of the American
people than is the victorious oppo
nent.

SIXTEEN DEMOCRATS DISMISSED.
Thrown Out Of the Government Printing
Office Thursday.

Washington, Oct. 22.-SixteeD
men, all democrats, were discharged
at the Government printing Office
yesterday, one was democratic
relative of a Southern Senator, one
was a democratic nephew Of one of
the foremen of the Office aud others
were proof readers during the last
administration who gave entire salts
faction AL ara considered excellent
workmen. These removals are bs
l'ev-d by the democrats in the Office
to be test case, If the work goes
by without violent protest, it ia the
general opinion there will be gen
eral slaughter of democrats. As one
of them expresses it:
Every democrat feels that he is
in jeopardy, and that every day he
works h. is that much winner
1t is stated that thu democrats are
doing some work and contemplating
more in the line of strong opposi
ton to this impending fate They
are subscribing funds literally and
a lawyer is to be employed to contest
these 16 removals aud prevent more
il possible.
There is little probability that
anything can be accomplished Tie
Public Printer is an intense partisan,
and by one means or another he will
get republican heelers into every
desirable position in the office.

SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS.
Carbonic Acid Gas Easily Generated From
Vinegar and Baking Powder.

vinegar and Baking Powder.
That there is charcoal in baking pow
der, and that vinegar and baking pow
der will make carbonic acid gas were
two bits of knowledge impaired to sew
eral hundred school girls and boys by
Professor Peter T. Austen in the hall
of the Brooklyn Polytechnic institute.
This was the second of a series of lee
lures to young people OH How to Make
Scientific Experiments at Home"
Using the simplest kind of apparatus,
Professor Austen demonstrated how car
bonic acid gas can be generated from a
combination of vinegar and baking
powder, and he showed also how the
burning of a magnesium wire in a jar
of carbonio acid gas brings out the char
coal in baking powder. The children
were intensely interested in the state
ment that whenever they ate bread or
cake made by the use of baking powder
they ate lot of charcoal, but they took
the lecturers assertion that there was
charcoal in sugar as joke.
"While hot carbonic acid gas is light
er than air, cold carbonic acid gas is
much heavier than air and can be han
died like water" said Professor Aus
ten. To show the heavy and palpable
quality he generated a lot of it in a
large glass jar and proceeded to draw
it out in cupfuls. Lighted candles were
extinguished by pouring the gas upon
them as if it were fluid, and the pro-
fessor showed his alert disciples how to
make carbonic acid gas run through a
cardboard trough A dozen small can
dies, lighted, were placed few inches
apart in long glass channel. From a
pitcher Professor Austen slowly poured
carbonic acid gas into one end by the
glass channel, and as he continued to
pour the invisible fluid the lights went
out, one by one.
The children watched with evident
delight the construction of rude pair
of scales. Il shall use only such things
as can be readily picked up around the
house." said the professor. He took q
common strip of board and planted it
upright on his table. Across the top he
placed piece of lath and balanced it
exactly by hanging an empty bandbox
on one end and basin of shot on the
other. Now, there is nothing but air
in the bandbox," he said. LET me
show you how much heavier carbonic
acid gas is than air. And, suiting the
action to the word, he poured large
pitcherful of carbonic acid gas into the
bandbox. Immediately the bandbox de-
scended as if filled with bricks.
The children applauded and shouted
In glee, and few minutes afterward
they were on their way to their homes,
imbued with a determination to raid
the domestic larder for vinegar and bak-
ing powder with which to make car
bonio acid gas New York Times.
