A Liquor Strike in Cuba.

According to late dispatches from Havana, the present outlook is that there will be strike of a unique character throughout the island of Cuba, the last of this month The cause of the threatened trouble is the new loan tax. The government having decided to issue bonds in the sum of t3J 00O.O for the payment of war claims and to make needed improve ments. it was found necessary to in- crease the taxes in order tc provide funds wherewith to pay the interest on the new debt The liquor dealers and the liquor manufacturers are hard hit ey the tax, and they are the prime movers in the agitation for a strike
 They claim that they will be driven cut of business if the new tax goes into effect. In the meanwhile they will try to test the constitutionality of the law, and they have turned their case

over to counsel with full power of at torney to act This was done through Q committee of four manufacturers.
 An American liquor manufacturer is thus quoted by the Havana correspon- dent of the New York Tribune:
 "Under no circumstances can We comply with the requirements of the law, even if we were able financially to pay the tax. The four members of this committee alone would have to pay $l6O,OOO in stamps for the stock which they have in their warehouses. and if one pipe of liquor should con tain q lltre mere than the amount il ia supposed to contain. the law is sl worded that they would be made to pay fne as high as $45.OO0. besides being liable 10 a long imprisonment. The initial tax on the liquor now on the island would be S6.000.000, and the renewing of the stock three times yearly would mean the enormous annual amount of $lS,OOO. 900 to be paid the government.
 We are thus absolutely unable to pay the tax, and on October S1 We ex- pect to close our doors. The proprie- 
 others who dispense the necessaries uf life will close with us. The cafes and grocery stores will have to close if We do. because we supply them with their stock. In the case of the grocery stores. their profits are not made on grocer les. but on the liquor they sell, and when this is cut off they will not be able to do anything but follow our ex- ample. We expect that the produce markets and other business interests will also close.
 We do net want to appear in the at titude of menacing the government. We have tried in every way to get the government to change the tax so that we can live and make a profit, but all of our beseechings have been in vain. We believe now that closing our stores will be the only way that We can get justice"

An English View of the Philippines.

An English view of the Philippines of more than ordinary significance has been published in the daily bulletin of the department of commerce and labor quoting the following extract from the Pail Mall Gazette" of Sep tember 9, in the course of a discussion of British possessions, past and pres ent. in the various parts of the world
 We have but to examine the man of the eastern hemisphere to recognize what q powerful position we should be occupying on the eastern flank of China today had We retained not only Java. the Moluccas and the Celebes Islands. but especially the rich group of tl.. Philippines, which were ours by every right of conquest in 1762 and had been justly forfeited by Spain. whose hos tility had been prompted by the belief that she had caught US at a time of disadvantage. But they were lightly surrendered by statesmen who possess ed no just idea of colonial empire, and who. although the country was emerging from d victorious war. were too spiritless to resist the demand If inc VanGuished for the restoration of their forfeited possessions. We cannot reflect CroE the loss of this splendid and legitimate prize without a consid- erable measure of bitterness"
 If cur friends, the democrats, are to be believed, one of the first things they will do if they are returned to power next year. will be to haul down the American flag in the Philippines. Then. of course. some nation guided by broader statesmanship, will grasp the

 In five minutes he was back and handed over the bundle with a genial. Here you are. It's union now, O. K

A False Echo From the Hearst Re.
 ceptlon.

One of the Los Angeles papers the other day printed what purported to be extracts from a private letter written from Phoenix, in which a gross injus- tice was done to Mayor Bennett ani President Fowler of the board of trade. The letter states, in effect, that MT. Bennett and Mir. Fowler, being repub- licans, were not hearty in their wei come of Mir. Hearst and his party be- cause of the democratic flavor carried by the whole affair. and that, in fact. had II not been for the restraining in- tiuence eXerted by these officials the reception here in Phoenix would have been q very elaborate one"
 It would be difficult to stuff more transformation into such few lines. The reception accorded to Mr. Hearst and his guests by Mir. Bennett and Mir. Fowler. both officially and personally. was wholly cordial and was every thing that the visitors could ask. In deed. Mir. Hearst and the other con gressmen, and the ladies as well, were emphatic in saying that at no point on their route had they met a more hearty greeting than here. and they were equally emphatic in saying that the afternoon and evening spent in Phoenix and the valley was by all odds the most interesting and enjoyable day of their entire journey.
 NT- ited at the editorial rooms of The Re- publican, and with The Republican printers, until train time and he again alluded with pleasure to the cordial welcome the officials and people here had extended to him and his guests. IL seems very probable that the letter was not written in Phoenix at all. and the matter would not be worth notice now, except for the reasonable cer- tainty that some of the democratic papers of the territory will accept the alleged letter as truthful and will do a further injustice to Mayor Bennett and President Fowler by charging them with an exhibition of marrow partlS'tnShlp-a lault, by the way, that neither of them possesses in any de- gree.
 While the Hearst trip through Ari . zona was all too brief it will be pro- ductive of great good to the territory. The advertising If territorial resources which the Hearst papers alone have given free of charge would have cost thousands of dollars if paid for, and unquestionably the cause of statehood was benefited. All this is appreciated by every intelligent citizen of the terri tory, and it is absurd to suppose that two men like MT. Bennett and Mir Fowler could treat MT. Hearst or any of Lis party with any lack of courtesy

A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs tonic in
the spring. Something to brace the
nerves, invigorate the brain and cleanse
the blood. That Peruna will do this
is beyond all question. Everyone who
has tried it has had the same expert
ence as Mrs. D. W.. Timberlake, of
Lynchburg, Va, who. in recent letter,
made use of the following words: "I
always take dose of Peruna after bus
mess hours, as it is great thing for
the nerves. There is no better epring
tonic, and I have used about all of
! them"
Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medi-
cines more effective. A short course of
Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of
spring, will cure old, stubborn cases of
catarrh that have resisted treatment
for years. Everybody should have
copy of DR.. Hartman's latest book on
catarrh. Address The Peruna Medi-
