Doan's Kidney Pills are for tbe kid neys. Charles Bierbacb, stoue contractor, living at 2025 Chestnut St.. Erie, Pa., says: "For two years I had kidney trouble, and there was such a severe pain through my loins and limbs that I could not stoop or straighten up without great pain, had difficulty in getting about and was unable to rest at night, aris ing in the morning tired and worri out The kidney secre tions were irregu lar and deposited a heavy sediment. Doctors treated me : for rheumatism, but failed to help me. : I lost all conlldence lu medicine, and [began to feel as if life were not worth j living. Doan's Kidney Pills, however, relieved me so quickly and so thorough ? ly that I gladly made a statement to that effect for publication.

Plain Language About The Administration. Senate? The Senate Wednesday began conside ration of the postoffice appropriation bill and lt waa the signal for a revival of the Democratic demand for an in vestigation into the charges of corrup tion in the Postoffice Department. The debate was initiated by Mr- Gor man, who spoke for almost two hours in criticism of the course of the Re publican party in the Senate In refus ing an inquiry. Mr. Gorman referred to the hasty consideration and report of the bill and asserted that there had been persistent denial of the investi gation of the affairs of the Postoffice Department. He urged that it was not yet too late to take steps to prevent "further robbery" and thievery in the Department. "It is said," he weat un. "that Con gress must adjourn speedily; that from one source a request amounting to or ders has gone out; that lt is inconven ient for one branch of tho government to have Congress on its bands; that if there is delay there are likely to lie disagreeable inferences from what has already been developed. "We have reached" a rime when Hiera is much preaching of honesty and high mindedness, but corruption bubbles out It came like a fog. and has not yet lifted and we cannot tell whether ali the information is yet out." Mr. Gorman referred to the chargea made by the Postoffice Department, saying he believed they had been made for the purpose of diverting attention from the guilty ones who had filched money from the Treasury and abused their trusts. As for himself he was of the opinion that, the members had net gone more in the matter than their public ant's* required. Mr. Gorman called attention to the habit of criti cising men engaged lu executive work and he concluded that tliis criticism grew out of a well-directed effort to build up a one-man, Czar-like govern ment. "So far, indeed, had this plan pro gressed that legislation has come to be practically a farce, all important, measures being dictated by the execu tive. It was coming to be that only an executive order was necessary lo get an appropriation. The result is that Congress becomes a mere recording body. "We are told." he continued, "that having approved the plans of the ex ecutive we must adjourn and go home because of the fear of damaging dis closures! The "fear is so great that we are to be sent away and not to be al lowed to do anything." He then referred to some of the pending legislation and included iii the list Mr. Foraker's bill for the amend ment to the anti-trust law regard ing transportation. He referred to At torney General Knox's statement re garding this bill, saying that it was no', rt '.'apartment measure. "Think of lt." said Mr. Gorman. "Notice ls given to Congress that nothing should be done ia the way of legislation without con sulting the administration." The American people do not want ' one-man control. Mr. Gorman contend ed. He hoped that such action would be taken as would prevent one-man control in the next four years, whoso ever might fill the White House. ' Mr. Gorman closed with the declara tion cf the conviction that the Post office Department was ' honey-combed with corruption and inefficiency." Mr. Penrose, chairman of the com mittee on postoffices, said that while LL iwawtgljrullyfavored an-4avestiga tIon,?ne has now reached the conclu sion that none was necessary. Mr. Penrose challenged the accuracy of Mr. Gorman's statement that extra ordinary haste had been exercised by the committee on postnffices in the pre paration of the bill. The subject mat ter of the measure had been receiving attention, he said, since last Decem ber. Mr. Lodge sustained Mr. Penrose's Statement that there had been no un due haste In bringing the postoffice bill into the Senate. It was true that the committee had done al! in its pow er to promote nn early adjournment. "The party in power," he proceed? ed, "has deemed it beat to bring about an early adjournment If it could be done. So far as I am aware there have been no instructions received from any body in any quarter. I was not on this side of the chamber that the expres sion "cuckoo" originated. That word is chargeable to the Senator from Ala bama and applied to his side of the chamber." It also should be hrone In mind, bc said, that the charge that a President hrs said that, be wanted to p.et Congress of? his hands was to be traced to a Denim.*;3tic President, and Mr. Gorman had gotten his Presidents mixed. In the House. Substantial progress was made Wednesday by thc House, in the con sideration cf the sundry civil bill, fifty-one pages being disposed of, leav ing only twenty-one to be road. No amendments of general importance were road. Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, briefly re plied to the statements cf Mr. Gillett, of Massachusetts, made last Monday on the negro question. He said Mr Gillett had lectured the South for tier tain alleged outrages and violations of the law. He declared lhat Massa chusetts wns not free from tho chnrge cf disregard of the lav,*, even thone*'', that State may claim to be moro re fined than others. He cited an in stance whore n mob in Marion. Mass., in 1902. had tarred and feathered a man and woman, and he said the perpertrators of the outrage had been acquitted and marched through the streets as heroes. He read from sta tistics of Massachusetts showing the number of the "disgraceful" marri ages of whites with negroes in the citv of Boston. If these facts are true. Mr. Bartlett said, "the teachers of the gentleman from Massachusetts and those who believe as he does, are com in g like chickens, home to roost." He did not believe, he declared, thal the people of Massachusetts enter tained nor re-echoed the sentiments Of Mr. Gillett. While the people of Massachusetts may have peculiar no tions ?ts to some things, and may bo ;.forn in their convictions, they at least have awakened to believe that the people of the'South are entitled to wor titi* problem In their own way. "as God shall will it." He add ed these people would work it out "with the help of our brethren of tho North. If we ca nhave ir, but if net, we will work it out without their help. To such as Mr. Gillett, con tinued Mr. Bartlett, "we will say that ..our opinion and criticism meet with ?be calm indifference of our con tern pt." Kept Away by Fog. London.

The necessity for a universal lan* guage has now passed beyond the realm ol discussion. With the rail roads, the high speed steamers, the telegraph and the telephone bringing human beings closer together every day, it is outrageous that ?peech should still continue to separte them; Let us, therefore, unify all langa?g3S? But what language will the trust of mankind speak? A living language is not to be considered; the national pride of too many nations would have to be encountered. Artificial lan guages have no prospect of success; they are too arbitrary. Under th? plea of progress, Esperanto, which superseded Volapuk, is already op posed by the "Neutral Language" and by the "Common Tongue." Dr. Colombo asserts that only a dead language has any chance of suc cess, and that Latin is the most avail able. To begin with, It ia not a lan guage that is to be made; it is already constituted; it ls taught in all coun tries. Ten million persons can speak it, and, being more synthetic than any other, it Is eminently the lan guage of the telegraph. But it is said that Latin is a diffi cult language. Yes, if literary Latin Is meant; and that is why the periodi cals printed in that language in Leip sic, in Berlin and in Rome have their subscribers only among the learned; no, if commercial Latin is meant. The latter Is a3 simple as anything can be. The sailors, the soldiers, and tho merchants of Rome, taught it without difficulty to the barbarians who dwelt alonp the Seine, the Thames, the Rhine, the Nile and the Euphrates. Jjt: Colombo declares that he has rediscovered commercial Latin in the ruins of Pompeii. It has no deponent verbs; the passive is formed in all CHKOs by means of the auxiliary "sum;." it employs the shortest words; its grammar is reduced to a minimum, and it has no amphibologies. This kind of Latin Is clearness Itself, and can be mastered in a few lessons by a .schoolboy. It' lt should be adopted as the uni versal language, the weary years wasted over it by so many mediocre students in the higher educational In stitutions will immediately become time usefully employed.
