WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-1t appears an
important omission was made in the
tariff bill as enrolled and signed. Sec
ton 80 of the internal revenue schedule,
which was originally stricken out by the
senate and subsequently restored by the
conference, was completely omitted in
the enrolment. The resolution provided
for an allowance of the drawback on
smoking and manufactured tobacco and
snuff held in unbroken packages in the
hands OF manufacturers at the date when
the reductions go into effect. This date
is January uest. However, there will
still be ample opportunity for congress at
its next session to correct the error by
supplemental legislation
TEN MONTHS NOMINATIONS.
In the ten months of the session that
closed yesterday President Harrison got
to the senate 1878 nominations, of which
all but twelve were confirmed. As many
of these nominations contained the name
of more than one person, they repre-
scented probably 1900 appointments.
Several hundred of these were postmas-
tiers at offices which have become presi-
Dental through the growth of business.
They also include appointments in con-
nection with the census, nearly all Of
which are temporary in their nature.
In the first session of the Forty ninth
congress, which lasted eight months,
President Cleveland sent to the senate
1896 nominations.

THE FORT WORTH GAZETTE says:
EVERY smokestack is equal to an armed

the GAZETTE famous. A broader and

have been couched in the same number
of words. Waco realizes that it is true

The face of this watch is precisely the same as
that of the gold watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between the
two watches is only in the case. The latter is
of oxidized silver, acid eaten, very neat and
quaint.
The movement ST these watches is Identical il
is the quick train, with straight line lever es-
capemenl, with direct acting hand set that
permits accurate setting. and will not allow tbs
hands to move out Of position while setting. In
the sweep second movement the
the second hand is run direct from the move
meut train, insuring perfect motion, while the
dial train and hands are run by friction pinion
from a sids center. This gives all the advant-
ages in time keeping qualities OF the most deli
cately adjusted and expensive movement.
Each watch is put up in neat box padded, to
carry it safely through the mails. In the box
are directions for setting the hands and regu-
lating the watch with the name Of the person
at the factory who tested and packed 1t.

a MARVELLOUS RAILROAD.

The Denver and Rio Grande railroad IS
justly and universally known as The
scenic line of the world. From the car
windows of its trains can be seen the
grandest spectacleS of natures wonders
presented by any railroad IN the world.
The Rio Grande IS essentially the tour
lists line, and over it the traveller secures
equal comfort and speed, with the added
pleasure of behOiding sights and scenes
unequalled for grandeur. beauty and
subhmIty anywhere IA the world. 4 trip
from Denver to Ogden over the scenic
line is a liberal education. and one can
thus acquire more thorough knowledge
of the marvellous railway engineering
and the wonders of the Rocky mountains
than by any other means. Nothing but
lack of knowledge of these facts can

THE SUGAR OUTLOOK.

From the Medicine Index.
Sorghum cane and sugar beets have not
been hurt by the dry weather, but on the
contrary both plants have been growing
richer every day. The cane is green and
fresh, the earlier varieties heading out
nicely. Cane will be ready for the mill by
the 10th of August, and probably little
earlier. OF the 1900 acres planted here
this season, at least 1900 acres will be
harvested.
Sugar beetS are becoming richer every
day. A sample raised by Allen Smith,
south OF town was analysed, this week,
and showed II per cent. of sugar or su-
crosse. This was an average specimen
from a large patch. The web worm ate
the beet tops during the dry weather, but
the roots We're not injured particle and
now, new tops are growing. 1t Is now
the belief of Mr.. Hinze and others inter
ested. that the beets should be planted
earlier in this climate, and next season
this will be done.
The sugar mill at Medicine Lodge Will
be the only one in Kansas that will make
a full seasons run this year. Something
is the matter with every one of the 9th
ers, or there has not been planted a full
crop of cane. The mill here expects to
run on cane alone for 100 days, averaging
more than 200 tons Of field cane per day.
The management will not be satisfied
with anything less than | 800, 600 pounds
of sorghum sugar. Then the sugar beets
will be handled, and it is expected that
there will he $500 tons of these, 100
acres having been planted.
All of the Improvements at the sugar
mill have bppn tested
Quantity and not quality will be
worked for this season. The entire out
put has already been engaged to a re-
finery.
Superintendent Human is working
about twelve hours a day, getting in
shape all the details of shipments of fuel,
sugar and syrup. The saving over last
year will be quite an item.
The lake did not drop an inch during
the four weeks dry spell, and over l 800
cubic feet of water went out at the
waste-way every minute. That is great
lake of water.
Our exchanges mention the fact that
200 acres of beets will be made into sugar
by the various sugar mills of the state
this season. But they all fail to mention
that the mill at Medicine Lodge will use
100 of the 200 acres.

The papers Of Wyoming declare that
everything indicates a great mining
boom in that state this year. Before the
season closes, says the Cheyenne Com
monwealth, more than $4,000 miners
and prospectors will be in the mountains
delving for precious metals. The con.
viction has settled itself in the minds of
practical miners that broad belt of
country stretches across the state that is
rich in gold and silver. 1t is part of
the belt that has produced so enormously
in Colorado and in which the rich mines
north and west are located

Taking the cue from Governor D. B.
Hill, some of the disappointed ones in
New York City, since a rough estimate
of the city's population places it at only
little more than million and a half,
are bowling for recount. The COVER
nor and his echoes allege that there has
been practiced intentional fraud upon
the city in its enumeration for the pur
pose of cutting down its congressional
representation. New York is Demo
cratic, and if there were no other cities
demanding a recount there might be a
show of plausibleness in New York's al
legation; but the facts are that nearly
every city in the land is or has been max
ing demand for a recount, Republican
as well as Democratic, consequently
Gotham's plea falls fat. There is moth
ing real in it.
