The Tax 6n fIfnars.

For years past the tax on cigars bss
been 81 per thousand. regardless oil
grade or quality. On chewing tobacco
the tax was 10 cents pound. In May
this tax il to be reduced one. half on both
cigars and chewing tobsccn. While the
difference In the price Of all grades OF
cigars will be noticed, the re luc ion in
the retail figures on tob.es will be most
apparent. The present price of 100 to-
bies, outside OF the revenue. may he
given at 81 80; the tax added 80 cents TO
this cost, therefore when one-half OF this
is taken of it will lessen the price 80
cents per hundred. So next summer
good tobIes will be so'd for cent each
and the sz, Of ten cent plug Of to-
bacco will be considerably enlarged.

ance question Accordingly, Senator
CHAPMAN sprung . license amendment,

and Legislative Control Amendment had
passed both branches, and for few mo-

the Democratic ranks. Bot the cool
heads among the Democrats saw that the
object was to put the party "in hole, !"
and The rally care and every Democratic
Senator recorded his vote in favor OF
the amendment and it was passed. When
it came up in the House the Democrats
we're ready and voted solidly for it while
enough Republicans voted against it to
sscsre its defeat, for which they received
the curses OF leading Republicans from
the large cities. II the temperance leg
islation OF the Republican. majority in
the Legislature, and the temperance
tricks of that body, does not result in
the total defeat Of that party in Ohio
next fall, then We will admit that dishon.
