The unanimous opinion of all who have seen this weeks bill at the Orpheum IS that if is a strong well balanced vaudeville ,sfer;ps with every act a good one. No adverse criticism has been heard. Trov- oro pleases with his wond 'rful powers of ventriloquism; Ernie and Ernie have a wonderful acrobatic and dancing act; Louis London presents novelty In sing ing and costume changes; Blake and Am Der are a riot with their original mu- s,cal comedy act, and Clinton and Nolan proved a big hit with the African Dod- ger' stunt.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, September 4-(7 D. m) The pressure has been high over the eastern part of the country during the past 24 hours and fair weather has been quite general Over the country between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mississippi river the pressure has been low. While some rain has fallen within the territory influenced by this disturbance, it's greatest effect Is noticeable in the high temperatures prevailing throughout the plains states and the Mississippi valley. Maximum temperatures reached 90 degrees as far north as the Dakotas and in more southern portions of the great central basin they ranged several degrees higher

 At the worl1ingmen's dinner, Governor Wilson said:
 "One of the reasons why I am opposed to an exaggerated protective policy is that it is a choosing beforehand tc be provincial and to have as little to do with the rest of the world as possible. hear great deal said nowadays about the danger of free trade. There Lre circum- stances in this country which render It absolutely impossible in our time. l dare say. that we should have free trade. We have so divided the sphere of taxation both by principle and by practice. between the federal and the state governments that direct taxation is almost exclusively reserved for the state governments and indirect taxation is the chief resources of the federal government, and the indirect taxes which we would not pay if we knew we were paying them are chiefly paid at the custom houses. If you want to be certain that we would not pay them if we knew we were paying them, watch the people who come back from Europe and go through the customs. They are the most indignant and, from the poinr of view of some of my compatriots the most unpatriotic Americans imaginable. because they kick like steers against the payment of the duties because they are then and there consciously and visibly paying them out of their own pockets, and there would be a very different GUS | toms policy in this country if everybody | consciously and visibly paid the customs | duties out of his own pocket directly into | the hands of an officer of the govern 1 ment.

Restore 1879 Tobacco Tax.

propose to raise tho fund by re-

1879 on tobacco and sci eSidc the
additional income from this, source
as national road fund, The addi-
ticnsl tax so provided would amount
TO about $50. 000, 900 4 year. 1t would
he a little more than double the pres
cnt internal revenue tax on tobacco.
II the proposed roads should cost
100000 mile the roads Will be paid
for i'm about four years. and II SoG,-

] propose that II per cent OF this
additional income shall be used In
constructing like roads in our ma
tional parks. five or six In number.
This contcmDiatcs about 100000 a
year for each park for period OF
five years.
Our tax on toba eco Is very small.
Our tax on whisky and beer and our
tariff on WOODEN and cotton goods
has not been reduced practically since
the late war. Tho tobacco tax Tas
reduced in 1873 because the govern
mcnt was getting more revenue than
1t was using. 1t was decreased again
in 1879 for the same reason, and
again in 1899. Our tax on tobacco
is not one-foprth Of what it was
during the war. It was not taken
off in 1879 because there was any
demand Tor reduction by the con-
sumner; 1t was removed simply be-
cause tho government was getting
more money than it needed.
