Long Breathe WIN Drive Away . cold
when Il First Begins.

A cold, as nearly every intelligent
person knows, is the result. of a stop.
page somewhere OF free circulation Of
the blood, to which one is first semsi.
tive through a feeling Of chill.
So slight Is the chill oftentimes
that NOT until the preliminary sneeze
comes is the victim aware he or she
has been in the track Of a draught,
or that the temperature has changed.
The usual n0l,on is that by going
indoors, changing to heavier clothing
or re'reatiag from the moist atmos.
phere, The danger is averleh. These
precautions are all well enough, but
the first and most e~tficacious meas.
ure should be to restore the quick
flow of warm blood through every
vein, and so by heat Instantly coun.
teract the liatle chill.
One, perhaps the simplest, method
OF dong this has been learned by
men who stand on sentinel duty, who
are obliged TO suffer more or less ex.
posure in winter, or who scorn the
comforts in cold weather of overcoat
and umbrella.
Their method when the tempera.
ture of the body OF extremities is low
cred, or a sudden chill or quick
change from warm to cold Amos.
phere is endured, is to inhale three
or four deep breaths, expand the
lungs to their fullest extent, holding
every time the inhaled air as long as
possible, and then slowly letting it
forth through the nostrils.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. l6-The ques
ton Of colonial expansion overshad'
owed the American Federation o.
Labor convention yesterday. 1t came
up on the introduction Of the follow
ing resolution BY Harry Lloyd:
Whereas, As y result OF the recent war will
Spain. o now and far-reaching policy known o.
Imperialism or expansion is about to thrust
upon us q large and standing army, an auto
cratic navy, this convention offers Its protest
and calls upon Its officers TO use oil power Il
defeat 1t
The resolution was adopted. The
only voice in the convention to be
raised In support Of the policy Of ex-
pansion was that Of Samuel b. Donnel.
ly, Of Indianapolis, president Of the
international Typographical union.
The frequent applause with which his
remarks were greeted showed that
there is a good, healthy minority senti'
,nent among the delegates in favor OF
colonization.
Harry Lloyd, of Boston, one Of the
strongest men In the convention, re.
piled to the argument for expansion.
He received 90, 900 votes recently when
he ran for secretary Of state on the
democratic ticket.
The debate lasted five hours and the
delegates discussed the question In its
every bearing upon the labor problem.
An effort was made by some OF the
speakers to give a socialistic color to
the discussion, but their attempts met
with little favor. The debate made
evident the fact that the theory OF
socialism does not appeal to the prac-
tical minds of a great majority of the
delegates; that it is, to their minds, as
President Gompers characterized it,
simply IAN evanescent and iridescent
dream Of poor humanity cropping
blindly In the dark for its ideal"
). J. Kent, a friend Of William j..
Bryan and an introducer Of q resolu-
tion against expansion, said that he
would rather send an army Of school
teachers to the Philippines than an
army Of occupation.
Isaac Cowen, Andrew Furuseth and
W. D. Mahon talked nti.expansion,
and then President Gompers, who had
recommended against expansion in
his annual report. closed the morning
discussion. He said that none Of his
arguments had been answered.
In the afternoon James r.. Cary took
the floor to present the views Of the
social democrats.
1t took the convention just five min
utes to pass a resolution denouncing
what is known as the Gage bill for re-
the greenbacks.
After a heated discussion for more
than an hour, the federation decided
to send an organizer to the south and
to keep him there as long as the con-
1ition of the finances would warrant.
In this connection a telegram was read
Atlanta stating that organized
labor in that city had refused TO par
licipate in the peace parade, because
negroes were excluded. The fedora
lion knows no color line.
The social democrats have apparently
abandoned all fight on Gompers, and
will put forward their efforts for the
'ocialist resolutions.
The federation held q session lasting
ill past midnight.

A MENDAcIoUs VIEW.

In order TO make their defeat more
certain, the Sacramento convention
reaffirms allegiance TO the Chicago
platform and condemns the war with
Spain. To demonstrate more fully
their demogogy, and to play upon the
prejudices OF the ignorant with false
hoods, they oppose the guarantee by
the United States OF the Cuban debt
and charge the present admlnistra-
tion with intending TO pay these
claims, City Republican.
In another column will be found
the full text OF all that is said In the
Sacramento platform In regard TO the
war and the Cuban debt. Read it
over carefully and then see what you
think Of the unspeakable mendaclty

M'KINLEY's TEMERrrY.


Mr.. Mckinley has been subjected t
some undue criticism for his course II
calling on the people for an expression
Of their wishes In the Philippine
matter. He has been mildly ridiculet
as "holding his ear TO the ground"
and charged with indecIsion and
inability to make up his own mind
1t is said that he ought togo ahead
and use his own judgment 'without
consulting anybody.
This is all unjust 10 the President.
1t is motives that make the criminal.
If a man sincerely does the best he
can. he ought not to he too severely
berated.
IL may be very true that our presi-
dent ought to have enough backbone
to fire Mr.. Alger bodily out of the
cabinet. But he hasn't got IL, and
that fact must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON. He is weak man, and
always has been, and that is precisely
the reason That he was placed in the
presidential chair in the year of our
Lord 1897.
Now, In view OF this regretable
but undeniable fact, isn't it better,
when he Is in doubt on question of
public policy, that he should try TO
get an expression from the people Of
the wholecountry, than that he should
consult only some little clique of
politicians or "financiers" or ''mer-
chant princes" IN New York or Wash
lngton? Isn't 1t better that he should
hold his ear to the ground than to
the lips OF Mark Hanna? 1t Is not at
all surprising that he should be CEN
censured in some quarters for any
attempt TO take the people into his
and ask their wishes, but
he certainly ought to receive nothing
but encouragement from background
ngs."
Ii Mr.. Mckinley is sincerely desl-
rous Of carrying out the wishes of the
majority of the American people, let
us wish him good luck, and hope that
he may correctly divine the sentiment
Of the majority, whether 1t spells
or not. II the majority
