Hon. David Meekison is we'll known,
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
was elected to the ~Fifty-fifth Congress
by a very large majority, and is the
acknowledged leader Of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:
81 have used several bottles Of Pc
ru-na and feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of h head. l feel
encouraged to believe that IL I use 1t
a short time longer I will be able to
fully eradicate the disease of thirty
years standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
a slight cough, a cold in the head, or a
trifling arrangement of the digestive
organs. do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear.

0REsIDENT MCKINLEY has con
ierred with number Of Senat-
Il ors and Representatives on the
back and forth action OF Cuba,
and its declining to send a Commission
to Washington. The President will
courteOu,ly receive the Commission, but
will MAKE it plain 70 them that the CON
dihons offered are final and that they
must be accepted sooner or later. The
opinion Of the President and those with
whom he has conferred, including
Democrats as well as Republicans was
reflected ia the following statement
made by Senator McComas, Just az
ter having had a talk with the President.
The Cu5ans are simply standing IN their
own light by not accepting the terms of
the Plat amendment. This amendment
was necessary, Just and ultimate. We
cannot change single one of the pro-
visions Of the amendment in Justice to
the Cuban5 themselves, not taking into
consideration cur own interests. Each
provision is prop TO the future repub-
lie. If a committee comes up here from
the Cuban Constitutional Convention
! think they will find that out. They
Certainly cannot accomplish anything
in the way Of modification to the Plat
amendment. They will learn what they
ought to know now that the President
has no power to repeal or modify an Act
of Congress. They are to be treated III
right when they visit Washington, but
| believe they will go back home
with palmer ideas OF the intentions of
this government Senator Cockrell, a
democratic member OF the Senate Com
mittee on Cuba, who has Just returned
from visit to the island, expressed the
opinion that the Convention would in
the end accept the Plat amendment, al.
though, he said, he would not be sur
prised if they took several more indeci-
sive votes before doing SO. He evident.
rly believes that some of the members of
the Convention wish to be persuaded.

Senator Morton was dead, and tha'
Senator Thurman was not in the Senate
when Gen Logan was sworn in for his
second term. OF course, we knew all
this, but we disregarded it, because We

NEW YORK CUSTOMS FRAUDS.

= The frauds recently unearthed in the
appraisers Office at New York are be-
1eved to have robbed the governments
OF nearly 81. oo0, 600 For months it has
been noticed that certain importers of
japanese wash silks in New York could
sell these goods below what would be
the legitimate cost If the duties wera
paid Chicago importers suspect dis
honesty on the part of their New York
rivals and set a trap to convict the
guilty parties. This measure of self
protection has resulted in stopping a
conspiracy OF fraud which was cheat
ing the government out OF enormous
sums annually.
The Chicago merchants believed
there were dishonest officials in the ap-
prafser's Office at New York who were
in collision with dishonest importers
in that city To test their theory they
refused to pay the duty on thirty cases
of silk in the Chicago custom house
and had them reshipped to New York
on some pretext, with the result that
the whole system of fraud has since
been unearthed. The dishonest prac-
tees in this case are the more mex
cusable because there is no opportuni-
ty for error as to the amount of the
duties. The customs charges on silks
are levied according to the weight of
the goods in pounds. There is no ex-
cuse for a clerk who makes an under
appraisement of goods subject to spe-
cif1c duties by the pound yard.
When goods are taxed the ad valo-
rem basis the importer may be tempt
ed to underva1ue his goods in order to
reduce the duty, and the appraiser may
be deceived. Frauds of that kind are
frequent and hard to get at, but the
silk frauds are more daring and I'M

Action of municipal governments
in Porto Rico in 1evying prohibitory
excise taxes upon imported coffee is an
expedient that, If adopted at all the
ports of the island, might afford a To-
cal solution of a problem that will
ceive the attention of congress at its
next session. But it is doubtful wheth-
similar local legislation could meet
the demand of Hawaii for protection
for its home coffee growers Under the
decision of the supreme court. con-
gress would have power to enact du-
ties upon any imports into these terri
toria1 possessions The problem sug-
gests an interesting illustration of the
theory of a protective tariff. Coffee
enters the United States free, because
we do not raise the bean ourselves.
But now we have acquired islands
where coffee-growing is a profit a bic in

product. There is a direct invitation
