 Referring to the land question, MT. Redmond said the failure of last year S act proved that this parliament had neither time nor capacity to legislate satisfactorily for Ireland. The act must be amended forthwith, alike in the interests of the tenants and land- lords.
 MT. Redmond concluded with a few scathing remarks concerning that ir- ritating aanachronism known as Dub- lin Castle" declaring that the present government of Ireland was too rotten to be mended and must therefore be ended.n It would be the duty of the Irish to oppose the government unless the latter foreshadowed some appre- ciable advance on the road to home rllle

THAT MILITARY COMPUTATION
 TAX.

New Londons authorities set out a While ago, with quite blare of trum- pets, to collect the military commuta- tion tax. How they are succeeding may be inferred from local newspaper
 which says that if "a little more ener- gy is not shown on the part of the peo- pie to pay their military and poll tax the city government will have to in- crease the police force and ask Sheriff Jackson for dozen deputies to assist in the work of arresting the delinquents, and next Tuesday large uproportion

DIDN'T BELIEVE That Coffee Was the Real Trouble

Some people founder around and take everything that's recommended to them but finally find out that coffee is the real cause of their troubles. An Oregon man says:
 For 25 years I was troubled with my stomach. I was a steady coffee thinker but didn't suspect that as the cause. I doctored with good doctors and got no help, then I took almost anything which someone else had been cured with but to no good. I was very bad last summer and could not work at times.

I could hardly eat anything, everything distressed me, and I was weak and sick all over. When in that condition coffee was abandoned and I was put on Post um, the change in my feelings came quickly after the drink that was pois- ,oning me was removed.
 f.The pain and sickness fell away from me- and ] began to get we'll day by day, so I stuck to it until now I am we'll and strong again, can eat heart fly with no headache, heart trouble or the awful sickness of the old coffee days.

NEW ORLEANS, June 3-The develop
ment Of bearish sentiment in the cotton
market was shown with marked distinct
ness today and nothing more than the
bureau report published was necessary
TO furnish cause for additional slaugh-
ter of values. Liverpool was inclined to
anticipate this feature and reported a
sharp setback in the price of deliveries but
spots held their own with sales of 5000
bales. fair quantity for half holiday The
belief in bearish report emphasized
by free selling here from the start and the
bureaus announcement of condition Of SO

pressure instantly magnified and another
nice slice was taken from the value of the
staple but offerings moderated perceptibly
as the session wore on. indicating that pres
emit sellers were far fro mbeing confidnt OF
their position The fact should have under
gone serious shrinkaEe within a brief
period of time and as spnners recently
manifested an interest in fall deliveries
around the IL cent level. the temptation to
buy at such a reduction must be decidedly
greater. Aside from this, todays bureau
figures do not give an absolute guarantee
for large crop. Important changes in
picking season and IL trade should show
any tendency towards revival substantial
support could be relied upon even with IA
vorable crop prospects. Thus, while there
may be no incentive at present for buying
cotton spculatively, there is considerable
risk in selling it.
