MAY HIT HIGH OFFICIALS

Washington, Feb. 26.--Uniess certain
Republican senators abandon their pres.
ent intention, the closing hours of the
session win bring a sensational debate
in the Senate aroused by the unjust
attacks which have been made in the
Senate during the last week upon the
retiring secretary of the interior, Ethan
Allen Hitchcock The administration has
placed in the hands of certain senators,
among whom are said to be Spooner and
Hale, some startling facts about the lu
cratiye practice of land grating in high
places, and full information about the
policy Of Secretary Hitchcock in nn-
earthing these frauds. 1t may be found
inexpedient to take up the time Of the
Senate with such a debate during the
limited time between now and adjourn
ment, but close friend of Secretary
Hitchcock said yesterday: IF certain
senators make use Of information which
has Just been furnished them, not only
viii Secretary Hitchcock's policy appear
justified, but more than one westerner
in official life win be on the anxious
bench"

A Simple Mixture and Direc-
tons for Taking It
SAID TO RELIEVE QUICKLY
Try 1t at Home, Get the Ingredients
from the Drug Store and Mix Them
Yourself--Too Much Kidney
Trouble Here.

Recent hospital reports show that the
dread disease, rheumatism, Is steadily
increasing throughout the country All
known means 81 relief are being sug-
gested to save the great amount of suf-
fering this winter, especially among
those who are not in position to pack
up and visit the noted health resorts
to be treated. Recent tests prove rheu
matism not exactly disease in itself,
but severe symptom Of kidney trou-
bic, q condition caused by cloggcd up
pores of the eliminative tissues in the
kidneys which fail to filter the poison
GUS waste matter and uric acid from the
blood, permitting these substances to re.
main in the veins and deeompose, usual
ly seeding about the joints and muscles,
causing the intense pain, swelling and
stiffness Of rheumatism.
There arc numerous remedies known
which many persons believe win relieve
this suffering salieilate ef soda, eolchi-
cum, potash, etc but these drugs are
terribly hard on the stomach, often ruin
ing this most important organ, and they
fail as often as they relieve.
A well-known specialist, who has prob.
ably treated more cases of rheumatism
than anyone else, and who IS also the
most successful, gives the following sim
pie vegetable treatment, which Ii harm.
less and inexpensive, and 50 simple that
anybody can mix itat home.
The ingredients are: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, ione-half ounce; compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound9 Syrup
SarsaparilIa, three ounces. 60 to any
good prescription pharmacy and get these
three vegetable ingredients aud mix them
by shaking in bottle, taking as dose
teaspoonful after each meal and again
at bedtime.
There "a nothing better IN the world
for baekache, kidney and bladder trou-
bic, too. Such symptoms as frequent
and painful urination, soreness, weak
ness, general and nervous debility, are
caused by certain acids ar poisonous
waste matter, decayed tissue, etc, in
the blood, which the kidneys win clear

WAS IT mExIcANs2
New Theory in the Brownsville Raid
Inquiry.

Washington, Feb. 26. There was some
indication yesterday that before the Sen.
ate committee on military affairs, which
is investigating the Brownsville raid,
concludes its inquiry there may be some
international developments which win
tend toward the vindication Of the negro
soldiers. Recently Senator Foraker has
been asking many questions regarding
the Mexican soldiers stationed across the
Rio Grnnde at Matamoras, their guns
and ammunition.
It is not intimated that the Mexican
soldiers had anything to do with the
shooting, but that the Mexicans living
in and about Brownsville were able to
procure ammunition from the Mexican
soldiers, and the tendency throughout
the hearing has been TO show that Mexi.
cans instead Of soldiers shot up the
town.

Growing Power Of Corporations Gre

Growing Power OF Corporations Gree
ates Continent For Peoples Rule.
The presidents annual message asks
that certain forms of combinations be-
tween corporations be legalized-in 9th
er words. that pooling between rail-
roads be declared lawful and subject
to regulation by the seven men who
constitute the interstate commerce COM
mission.
But the president refrains from
speaking for that other great tend
ency, the growth Of the direct vote
system for public questions in order
that the people may rule. The presi
dent would place greater and greater
power ia private corporations and en-
deavor to control them In the public
interest by a handful Of rulers, but he
is silent about increasing the peoples
power
This fact should be noted, for II
marks a tendency among certain
class Of statesmen and would be public
officials. They endeavor to close their
eyes to the growing movement for
more power IN the people, which is
needed to Offset the Increasing power
In the private corporations. The rising
tide of sentiment for more power in
the people by means Of direct vote
system for public questions has already
swept twelve states and has 107 men,
bers of the next congress, with Wig
orous campaign in all the other north
ern states. One thing is sure, the
growing tendency to Capitalization OF
power in private corporations win be
met by growth in the movement for
more power In the voters. The one
stimulates the other. The world tend
eney is toward complete sovereignty
of the people.
