A Valuable Medicine For Coughs And Colds

Dispensary first called my attention to
this valuable medicine and l have re-

TAFT In OPPOSITION.
Doesn't Agree With Gen. Mac
Arthur or Gen. Bell.

Washington, Feb Gov. Taft APP
peared before the senate committee
on Philippines with the intention of
taking up the senate Philippine tariff
bill and of devoting his attention to
the revenue and tariff conditions OF
the Philippine islands but before begin
ming with the subject he replied to a
number of questions by Senator Car
mack bearing upon subjects heretofore
covered by the governor in his testi
mony before the committee.
Mr.. Carmack quoted from the report
of Gen. Macarthur of 1900, to the effect
that there is substantially unity among
the Filipino people in their opposition
to the United States.
Replying Gov. Taft said that the COM
mission had not originally accepted the
generals conclusion and that the COM
missions tour of the archipelago had
convinced them that they were correct
in their conclusion. That originally
the people of the Philippine islands
were much abused, l do not doubt, >
not continue in its general aspect.
Since the second election of President
Mckinley the great m majority of the
people Of the Philippines have been ia
vorable to peace and to the acceptance
of the sovereignty of the United States
and it would be impossible to continue
the present system of guerilla warfare
without the system of terrorism which
now prevails. That is my conclusion
and in so far as the statement differs
from MacArthur's report to that extent,
I differ from him"
Gov. Taft also said that he differed
from Gen. Bell on the point of the gen
eral desire of the inhabitants to main
tain hostilities in Batangas; he did not
believe the common people felt SO in
elined.
Taking up the question of the tariff,
Gov. Taft explained the present system
of taxation in the Philippines. saying
that under the decision of the supreme
court no duties are now being collected
of articles going into the islands from
the United States. The plan of the
commission had been to have no inter
nal system of taxation for the support
of the general governm ent of these is
lands. Under the Spanish system there
was a general poll tax which Melted
about 100000 while the receipts from
the customs were only about $4,000, 600.
Even children were taxed under that
system. Under Spain there also was
tax upon business enterprises and
extent by the commission The commits
tax to the extent of 81 per head on
adult males, but to apply it only to
paving the governmental expenses of
the towns and the provinces. The peo-
pie of the islands had generally urged
the imposition of the poll tax as neceS-
sary to get some of their numbers to
work Under the Spanish regime the
plan had been used TO enforce q sort
of slavery.

CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC.
Brooklyn Bridge Not Equal to De-
mauCs of the Public.

New York, Feb. e.-Bridge Commissioner
Lendenthal, who has been seeking a rem
edy for the congestion of traffic on the
Brooklyn bridge, says the only adequate
solution of the problem is the reconstruc-
ton of the entire superstructure of the
bridge.
THE bridge is strong enough said he,
but as it Is now constructed can never
meet the demands which are and will be
put upon it. There is only one thing to. do,
lust as soon as the new East river bridges
are finished commence to rebuild the en-
tire suDerstructure-
This will be a gigantic task involving
the expenditure of several million dollars,
but it is absolutely necessary. The towers,
ca bles and anchorageS need not be dis
turbed.''
The commissioners plan calls for re-
building of the superStructure and the
substitution of two rows of tracks, one
above the other, as called for in the plans
for the East river bridges now in process
of erection

for the first of June. In his letter ask

wards outlined the tricks he proposed
to perform and the booking agent for
the company replied that he had four
sensations which have never been shown
anywhere in the world. Edwards also
inclosed in his letter newspaper clip
pings, and the manager of the Orpheum
stated that if he could perform half the
tricks accredited to him by the papers
he might have an engagement at any
time.
He performs all the tricks with which
he has been accustomed to entertain the
crowds on the streets, and plays the
cornet at the same time. He has had
set of steps made down which he rides
on the unicycle on his hands. That is,
he works the pedals of the unicycle
with his hands and rests his chest on
the saddle, his feet in the air On the
ordinary bicycle he not only rides
downstairs, but upstairs as well. He
performs a neat trick, which he has
never shown on the street, by means
OF the unicycle and an ordinary table.
He straps his feet to the pedals of the
unicycle, and riding directly against the
table, places his head upon it and
turns over it, machine and all, and
dropping to the floor on the opposite
side, rides away without having touch
ed his hands But these are not his
sensations
