Few people know that all plants con-
tain digestive principles. They cannot
absorb their food until it is digested anv
more than animals can. The Mount
Lebanon Shakers have learned the art of
extracting and utilizing these digestive
principles, and it is for this reason that
their Shaker Digestive Cordial is meet
ing with such phenomenal success in the
treatment of dyspepsia. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial not only contains food
already digested, but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the d.
gestion of other foods that NAV be
eaten with it. A single 10 cent sample
bottle will be sufficient to demonstrate
Its value, and we suggest that every suf-
fering dyspeptic make trial of it. ANY
druggist can supply 1t.
LaXOl is the best medicine for chill
dren. Doctors recommend 1t in place of
Castor Oil.

1IoulpArroS OF WAR CLAIMS
Action to Be Taken at the Next
Session Of Congress.


Therea appears to be general lunderst and.
ing among members OF both houses oi
Congress and others that during the next
session some action win be taken toward
the payment q numerous claims against
the Government. Many of these claims
are for work performed for and mater
ials furnished to the overnment
during the war, while others come within
the class strictly known as war claims -
All have been favorably passed upon 10y
the Court of Claims
Regarding q proposition to have a bill
ready to meet the cases in December
Senator Faulkner remarked yesterday:
1T is certainly time something were
done with these debts of the Government.
We cannot repudiate them, and the plan Gf
allowing them to drag along year after
year without any promise OF settlement is
as bad as reputation. Many instances are
known where firms that have performed
work for the Government, or have suffered
damages through some fault OF the Govern
ment, have been forced into bankruptcy
aud their business placed in the hands of
receivers, merely because they could not
obtain from the Government the money
of individuals the hardships endured have
been in many instances even worse.
The House of Repre- sc natives has re-
peatedly refused to consider these claims
as single bills, and the Senate, while IL
has added many or them to appropriation
bills, has been unable to make a fight for
them in conference because of a rule Of
the Senate, which declares that no private
claim shall be added to an appropriation
bill. The Appropriations Committee can
therefore, do nothing in the matter, and
when Ineritorious claims have been called
TO their attention, they have referred
them to the Senate and permitted that
body to add them as amendments to appro-
priation bills, when IL is deemed desir-
able by majority of the members.
There is, however, no question that all
Just claims should be settled. and We have
hit upon this plan or general bill as the
best way to secure the desired result
AS every section of the country will be
interested to Some extent 1t is believed a
majority of the House OF Representatives
" i'll not only ask for the con nsidera ton Of
the Senate bin when it reaches them, but

Judicated by the court and will include

EX-SENATORS AS LOBBYISTS.
Some Against Whom Hale Amend.
ment NAV BE Aimed.

The amendment TO the rules OF the Sen
ate offered by Senator Hale yesterday,
which proposes TO exclude from the floor
OF the Senate al Y Senators interested in
pending legislation. while "A move In the
right direction, is said TO be aimed par
ticularly at certain eX-SenatoTs from the
West who are opposed to the ratification
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty. Ex-
Senator FELTON,, of California, VINO is now
in the city, and who agrees with the
Senators from his State that the Hawaiian
treaty viii not be a good thing for this
country. and certainly not for California, is
one OF the men named as having aroused
the ire OF the senator from Maine.
II cannot be denied, however, says the
Washington correspondent OF the New York
Sun. that the privileges allowed ex-Sena-
tors ia the Senate and ex-rnembers in the
House Lave been greatly abused. EX-
members of both houses have Used them
for purposes OF lobbying, aud have done 80
in some instances SO openly that both the
Senate and the House and the public have
been shocked Quite a number of ex-
Senators are now engaged in the practice
oflaw and the prosecution OF claims against
the Government. These gentlemen, IN a
business way, have not hesitated to use
the privileges Of the Senate floor, and have
even called attention TO their posse eSSion
OF the privilege in que stion in order 10 add
to the value OF their sc ervices.
It's charged that while the bankruptcy
bill was under consideration in the Senate
an ex-senator from Illinois was at the head

the interest of the large credit houses OF

with being the representative OF New

noticed while the Indian appropriation
bin was under consideration that ex-Sen-
ator Brown, of Utah, W no is charged with
being personally interested in the open

place. Other Instances could be cited,
and the names of some Southern Senators

the proposed rule would necessarily ap

The Spanish irreconcilalles in Cuba are
almost as unwilling to 5sccept the Canovas-
Hanna scheme of refoms, as the Cubans
themselves. Today it is reported that, al
a meeting in Havana they assaulted a
representative of the prime minister be-
cause he told them they hal best agree
10 the reforms, as otherwise something
worse would happen to them. Really,
these loyal royalists are amusing. The
''reforra" scheme is a humbug Of the most
transparent kind. Spain does not possess
and cannot conquer per cent Of Cuban
territory in which to try it. All this is
perfectly wen known TO all spaniards in
Cuba, and what use there is in the CON
trary pretense, which deludes nobody, il

The Senator can deeply sympathiZe with
Mr. Mason, of Illinois, who is Just now

dent having appointed two or three men
to important positions whom he specially

Assurances That England VIII Look

that the government did not feel called

circumstances under which the present

The Government was aware, he said,
that a proposal for the annexation OF the
islands to the United States had been
submitted 10y the President for considera-
tion 10y the United States Senate, but no
decision has as yet been arrived at.
