THE FREE LEAF CLAUSE.
THE AMENDED TARIFF BILL
MAKES CONCESSIONS
To the Tobacco Manufacturers-The
Middle Men Who Sell TO Consum-
erS Must Pay a Tax.


WASHINGTON, March 2l.-It is the
general opinion here that the discus
sion on the tariff bill will not be un-
necessarily prolonged, and that the
final vote upon the measure will be
taken some time during the latter
days in May.
The bill reported yesterday is the
fourth reprint, and shows thorough
and careful revision OF the measure
since it came to the committe from the
House Several important changes
nave been made, and many conces-
SIons Of minor Importance have been
made at the requests of Senators who
appeared before the committee in the
interest of the industries of their
States.
Tue most important change shown
in the last reprint Of the bill is the
just and equitable concession made tu
the tobacco manufacturers by the
modification of the free-leaf clause,
which restricts the sale of leaf tobac-
co TO the farmer or producer. While
the rights and privileges of the latter
class are in nOWiSe curtailed or re-
Stricted, the middle man and retailer
Of leaf tobacco to consumers will be
forced to pay tax or abandon his
occupation.
THE LEAF CLAUSE AMENDMENT.
The amendment reads as follows:
Each person shall also be regard ed
as manufacturer of tobacco whose
business it is to sell leaf tobacco in
quantities less than the original
hOgSheads, case or bale; or who
sells directly to consumers, or to per-
sons other than duly registered
dealers in leaf tobacco, or to
duly registered dealers in manu-
featured tobacco, snuff or cigars, or
TO persons who purchase in orig inal
packages for export; and all tobacco
sold by such person ;;halli be regarded
as manufactured tobacco, and such
manufactured tobacco shall be put lip
and prepared by such manufacturer in
such packages only as the Commission
or of Internal Revenue, with the appro-
val Of the Secretary of the Treasury,
shall prescribe: Provided, That far
merS and growers of tobacco who sell
leaf tobacco OF their own grOwth and
raising shall not be regarded as manu-
faCturerS Of tobacco, and so much of
section three Thousand two hundred
and fOrty-four of 5he Revised Statutes
of the United States and acts amend
atofy thereof, as are in conflict with
this Act, are hereby repealed"

a Blizzard in { he Northwest,

OMAHA, March 22.-Reports from
the northwestern part of the State
say that an unusually severe blizzard
is raging and that it is the worst
storm of the winter. The blizzard
seems to be general, and the loss to
stock will be great. A despatch from
Custer City, S. D., says that the Black
Hills are getting good share Of the
storm, and that forty-mile wind rs
ming is also in the storm district, a
telegram from Gillette saying that
the blizzard there is the fiercest
ever experienced. The loss to range
cattle is estimated to be at least Il
per cent, as the stock was without
shelter and greatly weakened by pri
vation during the winter.

MISS POLL ARDS MONEY.
a Wealthy Widow Said to be Furnish
ing the Cash.

LEXINGTON, Ky, March 22.-Major
Horace Means, who is one of the
leaders of Colonel Breckinridge'S po
litical opponents here, declares that
a wealthy widow residing in Wash
ington went to Mr.. Wilson at the
time Miss Pollard was begging him
to take her suit, and told him to go
ahead with the case and she would
back Miss Pollard to the amount of
S5, 900, 81 will not call the lady's
name" SAID Major Means, "but
Miss Pollard had been intro
duced to her at a summer resort
by Mrs. Blackburn and she took quite
Il fancy to the young woman. When
the scandal came up she wrote Miss
Pollard, telling her to call, and as
sured her that financial assistance
would be given her. Major Means
could not be persuaded to disclose the
name of the woman he referred to, but
was confident that was the source OF
Miss Pollard's funds. Many here
wondered where the money was com
ing from with which this suit was be-
ing pushed.

Plug Tobacco as a Barometer.

1t is stated that plug of tobacco
is as good a barometer as any one
needs. AS long as the weather is to be
fine that tobacco will be dry and, if
there is not too much sugar and lico-
rice in it, will crumble like bark.
But just before rain the tobacco
will get damp and flexible and the
moisture in the air will make it al
most cIammy. No one who chews
tobacco need ever be without infor-
nation as to change in the weather
il he will only watch his plug.

that time convicts were leased out to
individuals, and one case is cited of a
father who leased his convict son from
