Chamber of Deputies to increase by four
hundred per cent the tariff duties on
American cotton.seed oil which would, of
course, be prohbitive. There is also a
proposition to wipe out our furnishing
shoe trade in that country by imposing
an increase of sixty per cent in the duties.
1t may be also that American grains,
hours and other agricultural products
will receive similar increase in the tariff
duties, SO it may easily be seen that
serious situation confronts many branches

that he will issue another letter in which
he will elaborate the views expressed in

says:
The Philippine Islands are a bunch
Of trouble, gathered on the western
horizon Of civilization. They are
bounded on the west by hoodlumism
and smugglers; on the east by typhoons
and monsoons; on the north by hur,
ricanes and reefs; and on the south
by capnibals and earthquakes.
The climate is q deceptive combina'
ton Of changes well adapted to the
raising OF cane. The soil is very fer
4ile. and large crops Of instructors
and butchers are, produced. The in
babltants are industrious, their chief
occupation being trench building and
making trouble. Their houses are OF
bamboo and landscape.
The Philippine marriages are very
Impressive, especially in the classes
where the wife is given the privilege
Of doing as much work as the husband
desires. The chief amusements are
cockGghtlng and stealing.
The principle diet is rice, stewed
rice, boiled rice, and rice.
The beast Of burden is the caribou
and should a hundred mile journey be
taken with this beast, the driver
would die of old age before reaching
his destination.

NOT GETTING MUCH.

Wood county seems to be itching
to have a Congressman and the State
Journal thinks 1t ought to have one
and so do we for that matter, but the
Ripley Herald doesn't opine that way,

from the papers mentioned:

Of importance lately? = Parkersburg

Not much, of course. Only
A U. S. District Attorney,
"A U. S Marshal,
A State Supreme Judge,
The State Tax Commissioner,
The Clerk OF the State Senate.
Deputies, Chief Clerks, National
Bank Examiners, etc., would not be
regarded by the Journal as Of /. "im-
portance."
Governor DawsOn's predecessor was
also from Wood county, but that
wasn't yesterday.
Wood county getting anything of
importance lately?" Sure not! Who
said she had?
P. Sand now Col. c. B. Kefauver.

by Judge Dayton to the clerkship Of
