Washington reports state that the Tress-
ury Department has under consideration a
grave instance of careless legislation in the
new revenue bill. Section l6 Of that act
authorizes drawback 10 the full amount Of
tax paid upon all tobacco exported, ard
directs the Secretary to pay Ii to claimants
at once The large stock of manufactured
tobacco now on h.nd has paid tax of 81
cents. Section 2, 500, revised statues, pro
vides that, upon reimportation of exported
articles, on which drawback for tsxes has
been paid, such tax shall be imposed
- the revenue laws provide. This tax after
the LIST of May next will be but sixteen
cents 1t will. therefore, be legal for hold
es Of large stocks to export the whole snd
make eight cents a pound, less expenses bs
the operation. Secretary Sherman thinks
the authority thus given for this operation
may cost the government between 81 000.O 600
and sS,0OO,000, but at present he sees no
method of preventing it. Secretary Sher-
man thinks that the stock that has be- n
sent abroad will be Immediately returned.

a REASONABLE CONFIRMATION

When ore Of the bills authorizing fhs
county and city to compromise their bonded
indebtedness was pending in The Legislature
we referred TO e clause which left the door
open 10 fraud and exrravsgsnce-a clause
providing that an indefinite amount of the
funds raised under the act might be used
in paying agents or attorneys for services in
assis'ing the county or city to effect the
compromise referred to. The bill, after it
had ssed the House and gone to the Sen
ate, WIS called back by Mr.. Legate, and
the Objectionable clause stricken out.
Another bill on the same subject which
was pased by the late Legislature and
which has since been approved and pub
lished, and now is a law, contains a clause
