THE SENATE.

Washington, Dec. S.-The Senate today adopted all the committee amendments to the immigration bill with the exception of one prescribing an education test and also the action of the committee in strik- ing out section 36 prohibiting the sale of intoxicants within the Capitol building and then laid aside the bill until tomor- POW to pass a number of unobjected pen sion bills.
 The amendment fixing 8 head tax on each immigrant coming into the United States furnished the principal topic for debate. Mir. Gallinger insisted that there was less necessity for 1t now than there was year ago, but 1t was adopted with out division. A new amendment was add ed, designed to stop the alleged perjury on the part of persons seeking admission to the United States and the committee amendment making the head tax lien on the property of the transportation lines bringing emigrans to the United States was stricken out. An amendment also was agreed to exempting from the tax aliens in transit through the United States ai.-- aliens once admitted and who have paid

Parisian Ways.

Washington Post
 Americans are considered a most im- polite people. because of their failure to observe the little conventionalities that obtain in most European countries" said Mir. T. c. Wilber of Paris. at the Hotel Barton.
 "I have lived so long abroad that it has become second nature for me to do as the Parisians do in most of the minor customs of everyday life. In going into a shop over there, however humble, l never fail to remove my hat. This is a habit of the country, but Americans who are visiting Europe either are ignorant thereof or disregard the custom, and thereby are censured as barbarians.
 "of course. the shopkeepers do not ap- pear to take noticve, for they want the visitors dollars, but. all the same, they construe the keeping on of the headKear as an affront and chew the rag when Mir American has withdrawn. What makes them far angrier, however. Is to have a Yankee come into their office or shop with a. cigar in his mouth. No Frenchman would be guilty of such z piece of rudeness. The American Is such matters offends innocently. but he ought to inform himself. and when in Rome do as the Romans do.'"

A SOLD.EE'S FOE. Knocked Down by Unsuspected
 Enemy.

Coffee so affects the brain and nerves that proper nutrition is interfered with and the final ending is frequently nervous prostration.
 During the Spanish-American war, l went with my troop to Chickamauga, says Lieut. J. c. Talbott of Springfield, Ills. If there is ane one place on earth where one drinks more coffee than an- other it is in the army. It is soldiers back bone and I can assure you that drank my share. After several months of hard drilling my health gave out, the chief cause being coffee, bad food. over exertion and heat.
 On the advice of the surgeon, ten dered my resignation and with my heart full of regret and my nervous system shattered. l returned home. Almost the first thing the doctor whom I consulted advised me was to quit coffee. That was the first intimation I mad that coffee had anything to do with my condition. The next thing was what shall l drink?'
 My wife's mother used your Postum Food Coffee and knew how to make 1t right, so I tried it and grew very fond of 1t. My nervous trouble soon left me f; my old time health came back, and that Fall gained so in flesh that the boys on returning after muster out hardly knew me. Quitting coffee and using Postum did wonders for me-"

The Convict Problem.

Huntsville Mercury.
 In discussing the proposition to have the five leading counties organize and lease convicts in accordance with the State contract. The Birmingham Age Herald suggests that the matter should be left in abeyance until the Legislature meets, when humanity in the matter of costs to be worked out by the friendless may get the better of the officials who fight for the retention and collection of unjust fees.".
 Some reforms are badly needed in the matter of fees. One man finds it easy tu dispose of charge of assault with in- tent to murder, while other poorer and less influential men must suffer for less serious offenses. A negro caught shoot ing craps in a barn loft, where a court ofIlcer would never find him, may be in- dicted by a jealous neighbor and there upon he pays a Solicitors fee of $60 Such abuses are the ones referred to by The Age-Herald.
 But the matter of fees must not enter into the convict question to the exclusion of better leasing system. There will be convicts regardless of the fee brigade and they should bring as much revenue tc the State as their labor is worth. Ger tainly they do not under the present County contracts.

Politics as A Business.

Detroit Free Press.
 Booker T. Washington saw fit to issue public statement not many days ago explaining that he was not a politician. that he would under no circumstances promote candidates for office or discuss political issues, and assuring the colored people that ina smuch as they must work out their future educationally and indus triously before everything else, it would be better fqr them to refrain from seek ing political offices Tt Is excellent ad- vice to give the negro, and 1t would be equally good advice for some Booker T. Washington to give the white man. Too much politics has ruined more men than gambling. Every reformer deems 1t his duty to urge every young man to take an active part in politics, but few reform CTS are wise enough to urge the young man to make his party wholly subordi- nate to his everyday affairs. It is one thing to attend the primaries and help nominate the best man. but it is quite another thing to depend on politics fo" bread and butter. to say nothing of to- bacco and whiskey and other necessaries of political life. Politics is fine avoca- ton for a young man. If he is clean and honest it is good for him and good for tion. The man that depends on polite, for living will either havea very poor living or he will ob.ain t by methods which cannot be safely discussed in the presence of grand jury. Long partici- patton in office. without other means of support, often leads to penury or worse.

Loan Sharks.

Letter to Editor of Chicago Chronicle.
 The State Legislature will do we'll to heed the wise recommendation contain ed In your excellent editorial of Decem- Der l. concerning the unlawful and dis graceful usurers who lie in wait for the thoughtless wage workers of our large cities and loaning them money apparent ly without security place them under a financial burden which ruins their lives. causes untold agony to their endless an- noyance and expense to their employers.
 These parasites on the body polite are plain criminals and should be dealt with as such. There Is no place in our economic progress for men who, mas querading their nefarious practices under the title of. business" cajole the un- suspecting into their clutches and then make use of the statutes and courts that were created for the honorable protec- ton of legitimate commercial enterprises to hound their victims to the death to collect what they call interest"
 It may not be generally known to what vast proportions this industry" has grown. In Chicago they have a clear ing-house by means of which they check intending borrowers and debar undesirable risks. To avoid direct vio- lation of the State usuary law they com pei their clients to sign notes of wage assignment calling for. interest at the rate of 30 per cent. the total amount, principal and interest, to be paid within d few weeks. in weekly Sometimes month ly) installments. failure to comply with which is cause for immediate garnish- ment.
 Any one can readily see that the rate of interest under this ingenious plan amounts to several hundred per cent per annum But this is not the worst fea- ture. They impress upon clerks. book keepers, office men and skilled mechanics holding steady positions the lease" with which money can be procured from them and they and their emissaries are con- tinuaily canvassing large business estab- lishments to enmesh such employees in their tolls.
 I can prove that in many cases they lend to men under the influence of liquor | and that Is one of their chief sources ot | income The fundamental principle oi government is to protect all classes of cit l izens governed and the best protection il can afford is to open the jails to law | breakers who evade the statutes, as vel | as to those who openly defy them. The Chronicle has pointed out great | evil. May it continue to point the way to the Legislature to correct this evil until suitable legislation is enacted, or else the Rarnishee law Is repealed altogether which was the relief afforded by the General Assembly of New York some wears ago.

Vinol Promptly overcomas
 asf Weakness.
DEBILITY OFTEN TRAGEDIES
 COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
 How to Get Strong.
OUR WM0L IS 4 STRENGTH
 CREATOR.

The saddest tsighton earthisa broken down man or woman.
 We see such people every day right here in our city.
 It is pitiful to see a man that should be in his prime dragging himself through life dejected, discouraged and broken down, due to some premature weakness. It does not make any diff ference whether this weakness is the result of dissipation, indiscreet living or disease it can be overcome.
 We have known of many very serious cases of debility quickly overcome by Vinol.
 Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and strength creator. Itcontains the active curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in . highly concentrated form. The benefit that can be derived from the use of these properties is so well known that there is no need for us to enter into that subject.
 We could quote many instanceswhere vinol has done good; as an example, here is one coming from Jane s. Fem fren, prominent member of the w. G T. U., and a resident of Suncook, N. H. She writes:
 II was run down, was in bed from May to March. Was so nervous and sickly that every one thought l was in a most precarious condition. My weight was reduced to 12O pounds. I was ad- vised to take Vinol, which I did, and am now very much better, and am able to be about again. As rebuilder and strength giver nothing can equal it. Vinol is God-blessing to anybody"
 Because Vinol is delicious, and because it does contain these much-sought-after medicinal properties we endorse it, and we unhesitatingly proclaim that its better than any preparation of cod-liver oil or tonic rebuiiderwe have ever had in our store. W AN - R

Kenner,s Petition Denied.

Washington, Dec. S-The United States Supreme Court today denied the petition of a vrk of certeiorari in the case of %he United States vs. Thomas E. kepner of the Philippine Islands.
