W. M. Abney. Druggist, desires US
to publish the following extract from
letter of Chas. Nj. Gutfeld, of Reed
ley, Fresno Co., Cal, as he handles
the remedy referred to and wants his
customers to know what a splendid
remedy it is: "It is with pleasure I
tell you that by one days use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy I was
releaved of a very severe cold. My
head was completely stopped up and
I could not sleep at night. I can rec
ommend this remedy" A cold nearly
always starts in the head and after
wards extends to the throat and lungs.
By using this remedy freely as soon
as the cold has been contracted it
viii cure the cold at once and prevent
it from extending to the lungs.

More Senatorial Courtesy.

One Of the ridiculous absurdities |
That has long been a sacred and cher
ished relic in the Upper Chamber of
The United States Congress, is what
is solemnly referred to as Senatorial
Courtesy" It's original application
was to the relations between Senators
upon thd floor, each treating the
other with all possible consideration
and tho most punctillious courtesy.
OF late years this rule has almost
become obsolete. It certainly has
been violated in many instance in q
way to reflect great diseredit upon
the chamber, and bring down very
severe public criticism.
In most OF these disgraceful cpl
sodes Bill Chandler, the venomous
and insolent little Senator from New
Hampshire, has figured as a principal
and usually the aggressor. His pub
lie service has been mainly confined
to sitting quietly until there was an
opportunity to malign the South, or
to be impertinent to some colleague.
In several instances Senators whom
he had grossly offended, held him up
to public contempt, which Chandler
has been in the habit of submitting
to in silence.
The incident that occurred on the
floor Of the Senate on Thursday
night illustrates the man. The venom
had accumulated in Chandler's sys-
tenn and it oozed out in all direc-
tions-on German, on Senator Martin,
on Senator Hill-against all of whom
he made malicious and slanderous
charges. Mr.. Hill, in his reply, simply
skinned the little New Hampshire
marplot, whom at one time be likened
to q shyena." Senator Martin, of
Kansas who had been grossly insult
ed by Chandler, was more indignant
in his reply and spared no epithet
that seemed to fit the case. Some of
these were not selected from choice
vocabulary, but they were very ex.
pressive. Senator Martin referred to
stories he had heard about Chandler,
and declared that if they we're true,
or half true, insteed of representing
the magnificent Commonwealth Of
New Hampshire in the Senate OF the
United States he should be Gin the
penitentiary."
OF course, all this was not only
supplementary, but fragrant vic.
lation Of "Senatorial courtesy, which
can only be justified by the fact that
Chandler deserved all that was said
Of him. Further more, it is q dis.
grace to the Government that such
aman should be permitted to occupy
q seat in the Senate chamber.

Time is necessary in production,
and procrastination, while it may
often be 1.-THE thief of time" is often
times best presever. Indeed, it is
sometimes wise to make haste slow.
II. We have all read, when We were
boys, Captain Marryat's Midship-
man Easy" There is a passage in
that story which may serve as an
illustration of what is constantly
happening 10 actual life. The boats
Of the HAPPY were ordered to board
one of the enemy's vessels; young
Easy was in command of one of
these boats, and as they had to wait
he began to fish. After they had
received the order to advance, he
delayed little to catch his fish, and
this delay not only saved him from
being sunk by the enemy's broad
aide, but enabled him to board the
Frenchman. Here the pitfall was
avoided by idling away q minute OF
time on On occasion when minutes
we're like hours; yet it was mere
luck, not wisdom, which led to the
good result, demonstrating that
there is sometimes ssluck in LEISURE
Quick resolves are Oft unsafe.

turns until April the 10th.
tits probable that before that date |;
the United States Supreme Court will
decide the test cases pending before
it whether the law is constitutional. !
If it shall be held unconstitutional, !
and hence void, there would, of
course, be no occasion for returning
incomes. But the tax must be as
sumed to be valid until judicially de-
clared otherwise.
The personal as distinguished from
the corporate tax is levied on all in
comes above 81, 900, whether derived
from fixed saxaries, professional fees,
profits in business, investments, gifts
or inheritances. The rate is 2 per
cent. on the excess of $4,000. The
income to be returned and taxed this
year is the income from January LIST
to December 81, 1894. The tax is to
be paid on or before the LIST of July
next.
Every citizen of the United States,
whether residing at home or abroad,
and every person, citizen or alien, re.
siding in the United States, having
an income of more than $4,000,
whether the income be derived from
this or foreign country, is taxable
on the amount in excess of $4,000.
Any person who is neither a citizen
nor resident, but deriving an in
come from property owned or bust
ness carried on in the United States,
is liable to the tax.
While only incomes above $4,000
are taxed, every person who had an
income last year exceeding So, 500 is
required to make a return on or
before April Is.
Returns are to be made on blank
forms to be procured from the Office
of the Collector of Internal Revenue.
Some persons may receive these by
mail, but all persons having the pre-
scribed income are required to make
the returns whether blanks are or are
not sent to them, and whether the
collector does or does not call on
them. The person making the return
is required to state the amount and
source of his gross income, the
amount and nature OF the deductions
he claims and the sum of the net
income.
If any person having a returnable
income willfully neglects or refuses
to make return within the prescrib-
ed time, or makes a willfully false
return, the collector or deputy col
lector is authorized to make the re-
turn according to the best informa.
ton he can obtain by examination OF
such person or by any other evidence
1t is also made his duty to add SO
per cent. as q penalty to the amount
of tax due in case of neglect or re.
fusal to make return, and 100 pei
cent. in case of false or fraudulent
return. But before making such as.
sessment the collector or deputy
must notify the person so assessed
who is entitled to a hearing and ar
opportunity to show that he has moi
a taxable income or that the return
made by him is not incorrect.
