Mississippi senators to vote for the Pan

deprecates the lynching of negroes, and
pleads for an observance of law.
The resolution adopted is as follows:
Approaching the tremendous Importance

the world, and especially the benefits that
it would be to the whole south by which
construction of such water way between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans would
make Mississippi an open gateway for
world wide commerce and traffic; realiz-
ing that conditions have shaped them

Second, that Senators Money and Nc

treaty.
The prediction is freely made that the
resolution will pass the house. 1t has al

GIVES VIGOR TO The SOIL

Recent Investigations indicate that
the chief source of the enrichment of
the soil, noted particularly in wooded
lands, is not altogether due to a con-
servation of the moisture and the adj
dition to the soil of needed elements
by the decomposition of the fallen
leaves. Of probably greater impor-
lance is the fixation of atmospheric
nitrogen by dead forest leaves when
these rest on a moist substratum of
SOIL In effect this phenomenon is
similar to that which is produced by
the tubercle growths on the roots of
legumes and allied plant families.
A similar observation has been made
in regard TO the mountain pine, which,
if verified, will account for the hardi-
ness of this tree and the ease with
which it maintains itself in soils that
contain comparatively few nutrients.
1t has been found by the Danish
Heather Improvement society, which
is interested in planting trees on bar
rem sandy stretches on the western
coast of Jutland, that spruce and

laid daring plots, planned and executed
deeds of atrocity that shocked the world
At last the fanatics brought affairs to a
climax: in 1881, after many attempts
succeeded in numbering Alexander H.,
the car that had begun the task of liber-
alton. After the committal of this base
crime there was political reaction;
from the center of power thsre ceased
to emanate radical experiments on be-
half of the people.
To-day the government sedulously fer
rets out and makes effort to suppress
socialistic tendencies, but there is at
present noticeable in Russia three dis
tinct lines in which the people are MAX
ing way against the old established order
of things. In industrial centers labor or
CARNATIONS, in spite of press censorship
and published warnings from the govern
ment, are making decided Roadway.
Scattered over many provinces are no
inconsiderable numbers of educated, de-
voted people that have deliberately cast
their lot with the peasants in the desire
to give the but recently freed serfs the

Firms in the northwest, Lithuanians
and Poles in the west, Roumanlans in
the southwest, many groups Of Uralo-
Altaic people in the east, in the south
east Tartars in the Crimea, Greeks on
the sea of Azov. In addition to these
there are considerable numbers of Ger
mans and great many Jews; in the
aggregate Russian empire there are
over 100000 Jews
Though now making advance in in
dustrial matters, Russia is distinctly
an agricultural nation, 80 per cent. OF
all her people are peasants. The peas
ant rents from the landlord, as in Ire
land; the landlord. generally an absen.
tee, squandering his wealth abroad
and letting the cultivation of the land
rest with the peasant. Russia is very
large and very poor, which facts par
TALLY explains the lack of education
among the masses. The number OF
those that cannot read and write is
shamefully high, rs per cent, and
while there exists among the better
classes realization that the nation is
kept from progress by the ignorance
of the muzhik, yet the fear that the lat
ter may prove too strong if allowed
an education has caused the ruling
conservatives to keep the school book
from him.
Though the Russian peasant OF to-day
is degraded and sQualid, his condition is
not nearly so low as it was back in the
days of serfdom. The rural population Of
Russia by the eighteenth century was
grouped in one common class, the serfs,
regarded as the property of the landed
proprietor of the state, and class of
abuses which repeatedly called for re-
forms. About the middle of the last CEN
fury, under Alexander H., a powerful
liberal reaction was inaugurated. The
year 1861 was marked by the sup
preston of serfdom; in 1864 refor-
nations were made in the courts
of Justice and the jury system; in
1866 steps were taken towards proyln-
cial se!f-government. These reforms
stirred the apparently Indifferent, fatal
istic Russian, and there sprang up in the
country band of enthusiastic youth
fired with the desire to aid the submerged
majority. Russia's autocracy saw only
cause for fear in the movement and fool
ishly and cruelty set to work to stamp
out the spirit of brotherhood that was
abroad. The wouldbe reforlers were
arrested, put in prisons, sentenced be-
hind closed doors to Siberian exile. The
nihilists now changed their tactics,
turned from reformers to assassins;
banded themselves into secret society,

by the police to surrender their work,
and many were exiled to Siberia, still to-
day the element is of marked strength
peasant against despOtism.
Separation from the Orthodox church,
body of people hostile to the official
church and existing government, is re-
ligiouS movement now gaining strength
in Russia and fraught with no little polit-
ical import The dissenters have been,
and still are, severely prosecuted but
they now number in greater Russia alone
IL 900, 900 people. In addition to the fric-
ton caused by the detection from the
Greek church, is the complexity that
arises because of the widely diverse
forms of religion existing in the coun-
try; the Roman Catholicism of the Pol
ish population, the Protestant faith OF
the German and Finn, the Buddhism of
the Mongols, the Mussulman faith OF
Crimean Russians.
The industrial depression in Russia
and the famine of 1901 gave opportunity
to the socialists and liberals of the land
to stir up the people as the nihilists were
not able to do. The professional and Off
cial classes both are taking part in ex-
pressions of disapproval of the govern
'ment, though still retaining loyalty to
the car, whom, they maintain, is kept in
ignorance of existing conditions. Stu
dents of the institutions of higher educa-
ton are boldly showing their sympathy
with the oppressed, and from time to
time their acts are of a decidedly revolu-
tionary character Revolutionary tracts
are sent out from government Offices, the
nobility discuss political reforms, the
works of banished Russian writer's some
how find entrance into the country and
wide circulation.
The government has endeavored tosup-
press these intellectual leaders by ban
ishment to the country districts, and the
result has been a wider field for the
workers. Violence has marked the re-
cent movement; the agitators have re-
sorted to assassination methods; the
Cossack police have dragged and shot
down the rioters, and offenders have re-
ceived the Siberian sentence. Women,
too. have taken part in the student riots,
and, like the men, have felt the Cossack
whips on their backs. In addition to the
student riots, strikes and labor riots have
occurred in scattered portions of Russia,
and agragarian riots have led to vio-
lence of no small extent. In the various
uprisings the soldiery have some times
been too weak to interfere; some times
too mutinous

For twenty-five years he was in misery;
then one lucky day his druggist ADVISED
him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. OF the
result Mr. Hutchins says:

much, bat / got two more, and before
got them used up | was great deal bet

Catarrh of the kidneys is very COM

People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get better.
They never once think of catarrh Kid
ney disease and catarrh are seldom
associated in the minds of the people,

in the minds of the physicians. Too
few physicians recognize catarrh of the
