Labor and silver.

As has been heretofore chronicled
in the telegraph columns of THE AR
Gus, the State Federation of Labor, at
its gathering at Danville last week
declared for free silver at the ratio IF
10 to /. This was done by a two
thirds vote, dispatch having the fol-
lowing on the subject:
The convention of the Illinois State
Federation Of Labor finished its work
this afternoon and ad Journed to meet
next year in kewanCc. In the closing
hour the silver men had their inning,
and the free coinage Of silver at the
ratio of 10 to l Is again the slogan Of
the organization.
..Wnen the report of the constitu-
tiOn committee was made vesterda V
il was considered section by section.
Ii was not noticed that the committee
had left out the section relating to the
free coinage of silver, as well as one
favoring the initiative and referen-
dunn. The silver men now claim the
omission was trick on the part of
one of Gov. Tanners employees who
was on the committee on constitution.

club by Secretary Root, and pushed
nearer to clearness by Pos tmaster-
General Smith at the cornerstone
services. 1t was the logical outcome
of the present tour of the president
and his cabinet. Though the presi-
dent spoke, and TO an audience large
~ of his own party, the declaration
that We have still farther extended
our jurisdiction to the far-away islands
of the Philippines was not greeted
with unanimous enthusiasm. 1t
evoked cheers and shouts of approval,
but there were hundreds who re-
manned silent, and the attempt to
stampede the gathering fell short of its
purpose.
We have annexed every variety of
territory, from the coral reefs of the
cocoanut groves of Key West TO the
icv regions of Alaska and the islands
of the Pacific and the Caribbean sea,
was the utterance of the president
leading up to his assertion of iuris-
diction in the Philippines"
There was an.answering cheer from
one-third of the audience, and the ap-
proving banqueters rose to their feet
and waved their napkins, but the
spirit of imperialism was not strong
enough to maintain a sustained dem
onstration.'

RECIPE FOR RAINMAKING.
subsuIphuric Acid. Water and Zinc
Create Artificial storms.

Create Artificial storms.
Some years ago Kansas was overrun
with so called ''rainmakeTs" who did a
thriving business in vicinities afflicted
with drought. The Rock Island rail-
road had Il rainmaker who travelled
about the country in special car and
made rain from Texas 10 Iowa At the
time the process employed was guard
ed as Il secret. and no doubt the mys-
terry surrounding the operation had
much to do with the interest aroused
among the people But now comes
George Matthews in the Wichita Eagle
with a full exposition of the means
employed by the Rock Island wizard
and others, and the following is the
recipe given by him:
Ten fluid ounces OF subsulphuric
acid
Fifty fluid ounces of water.
"Fivc ounces of zinc.
"Rcnew every hour and stir every 30
minutes day and night until rain
comes The moment rain begins to
fall remove jar or crock. In territory
west Of Kansas use one-third less; at
sea level use double the quantity. In
Kansas work only on southerly winds,
which are the moisture bearing winds.
Begin an experiment only in clear
sky. One station of the experiment. If
successful. will produce rain 80 to 30
miles in diameter. \ better and more
certain result can he secured by having
three or more stations 40 or 30 miles
apart"
According TO Mr.. Matthews, this mix
ture left in an open mouthed jar gen
crates hydrogen gas, which rapidly
ascends. The theory is that this gas
ascending creates shaft through the
hot air down which the cold air rushes,
creating a storm center and gathering
moisture for precipitation. Matthews
claims that OF the POO experiments
made by him at least $50 were success

Mckinley FIatrooted for Imperialism.

At the Chicago day banquet in the
city bv the lake last evening, Presi-
dent Mckinley put at rest all the argu-
ments that have been raised by those
who, against their own conviction, have
been attempting to defend the admin
istration policy in the far east. on the
theory that the United States had pur-
chased the Philippines, not for the pur-
pose of territorial aggrandilement and
greed, but in order to help the natives
whom the fates of war had thrust in
our pathway rs 4 nation, and that
ours was TO he the holy mission of
preparing the islanders for self gov
ernment and then elevating them to
this high plane of civilization. In
fact. this was the idea first advanced
by the president when we forciblv ac-
quired the archipelago. But Mckinley
has gone back on himself again. In
short he has again changed his mind.
Last night he came out llatfooted for
permanent expansion and imperial
ism, the policy which it has been
contended by the opponents of the
administration course in the far
east would sooner or later be shown.
The Chicago Chronicle best explains
the final open avowal of policy on the
part of the president:
President Mckinley sprang from
the indeiiniteness of generalization on
the Philippine question at the Chicago
day banquet last night into definite.

ism and colonization on the far bor-
ders of the Pacific ocean. 1t was the

a cippus. or sepulchral column, con-
tanning n cinerary urn of rare oriental

Inscription on the cippus revealed that

was killed, ana piSo also suffered

Results Reported From People Who Have
Given "A Fair Trial to the Remedy.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the scientific
kidney remedy and backache cure, is
daily gaining favor in Rock Island.
No medicine has ever been sold in
Rock Island for kidney ailments,
backache, nervousness, sleeplessness
and general debility that has gained
such popular favor as Morrow's Kid
ne-oids.

is n seamstress. Miss Smith SAYS:

to render the kidneys helpless:

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,

tific form of preparing medicine.
They are put up in wooden boxes,
