From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. NJ. RANK, No. 2,354
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:

to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any Improvements. At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, 1 felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse 1 can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. 1 was SO depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although l
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, 1 thought 1 would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured
l continued this way until the last
OF February, when l saw in a paper
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia e. Pinl1ham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. l determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose.

well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine"

he had made covered point raised pre-
viously by Mr. Hoar on question.
Citizens or Subjects.
Mr.. Hoar. in reply, contended that the
quotation from Mr. Webster which Mr..
Teller had referred to did not meet his
point. His desire was, he said, TO know be-
fore the Senate's feet were entangled by
the ratification of the treaty, whether the
Filipinos We're to be regarded as citizens or
subjects of the United States
Mr.. Hoar argued that they would be
citizens, and If the Philippines We're taken
by the United States every Filipino child
born under the flag of this country, be he
Mohammadan, Chinese, Japanese or Ma
lay, would be citizen of this country,
and would be entitled TO come to the
United States and enter into competition
with the laborers of Massachusetts and
of Colorado, or of any other state.
That was the point Mr.. Hoar said he
desired to have made clear, and thus far
in the present debate the advocates OF
treaty ratification had. not met n to his
ga tisfaction. .xv tie
Teller Makes Reply, ,.a,..
In reply Mr.. Teller said he was not in
favor of extending to the Filipinos a pres
ent ali the privileges and rights of citi-
zens of the United States, and he did NOT
think the treaty extended any such priyi-
lege.
Il do not believe" he said that we are
entanglng our feet by the ratification Of
the treaty. We cannot meet the condi-
ton which confronts us in any other way
than by ratifying the treaty
Il know, of course, that we shall have
to maintain in those Islands a military
government for few months al least. but
l am anxious to afford these people as
soon as possible a free stable and If
feasible, an independent government"
The Senate then went into executive ses-
sion, and three hours later adjourned.

CABINET HAS GEN. BRoOKE's PLAN
UNDER DISCUSSION.

Spanish system of Collection Caused
Much Dissatisfaction-The United
States should Take the Matter Out
of the Hands of the Spanish Bank.
Governor General Recommends
Remission of Back Taxes in Many
Cases.
Washington, Jan. 24.-The protest
against the continuation of the Spanish
Bank at Havana as a medium for tax
collection was thoroughly discussed at
the cabinet meeting to-day, and Gen
Brooke's statement of objection carried
conviction into the minds Of the cabinet
officers, although no final action was
taken.
The officials Of the war department. It
should be stated, In contemplating the old
system, had it in mind only as a tempo
rary expedient, believing that II afforded
the cheapest and quickest method of
meeting the difficulty which the United
States found in the effort to take upon
themselves the tax collections. They are,
however, perfectly willing to accept as
sound Gen. Brooke's suggestions; there
fore it may be expected that the original
plan will be abandoned Gen. Brooke's
statement is in effect this:
The Spanish system Of tax collection has
been a fruitful cause of dissatisfaction and
has led 10 more than one revolt, even the
last movement being founded in large part
upon the extortions and hardshps Of the
tax system. The taxes were. however,
unequally Laid and collected in the extor-
tionate manner. The Cubans thoroughly

Looking toward the economical consider
atoms that were urged Gen. Brooke main

States, through It's own machinery should

half the sum Of money that would have to
he paid over 10 the Spanish Bank based
on the collection rate Of per cent. on col
lectons. though this rate is far below tho
rate received by the Spanish Bank under
the Old regime.
The penalties proposed for default in
taxation are said by Gen. Brooke 10 be
so severe as to make Il possible for the
bank to foreciose upon most of the real
estate Of the Islands and place 1t in the
hands OF it's friends, though II is not
charged that this would be done.
Respecting the arrears Of taxes Gen.
Brooke believes that the people In most
cases are unable 70 pay them, and he
thinks that they should be RENTED on
something ike the following lines
All rural taxes that were due not paid
on Dec. 81 last should be RENTED

that he was no gentleman. This angered
the doctor. and he ordered Policeman
