The leaf market the past week was
air enough considering the close of
the year. Comparatively, it was more
active than during many weeks in the
ALL which is the leaf markets season
par excellence. The sales embraced
chiefly filler grades of all kinds and
types. About 1900 boxes changed
lands, from SO case lots upwards
And prices are as firm as they posi-
oily can be. Pennsylvania BIS com
mand, as a rule, Ice. and over, and the
prices for Zimmer's Spanish range
much higher. Both the demand for
hese grades of our domestic leaf and
their high prices spring solely from
the fact chat the use of Havana has
been discarded completely in our
nickel cigars and partially also in our
dime cigars. And this fact bears out
our contention that the salvation of
our leaf trade, principally our domes-
tic leaf trade, and our cigar industry
lies in the enactment of a uniform
duty, sufficiently high to keep the
cheaper grades of Hanava out of the
nickel cigar.
The Sumatra market is moving
lowly but steadily. With the i'm
provement of the cigar industry its
consumption is bound to extend, as
it is practically the only wrapper leaf

Lancaster, Pa, Dec. %, 1897.-The
near approach of the holidays never
has a tendency to improve business,
and the present season is no exception
to the general rule. Dizziness is the
order of the day and the preparations
for taking account of stock, for over
hauling accounts, moving, and form
ing new deals and combinations, take
up the time of the trade. STILL with
all the grumbling that is dinned into
ones ears, some 700 boxes of goods
changed hands.

I fear, at anything like the price that
was expected when it made such an

on balls, both of which went for nothing.

out of the game on account of sore hand,
but Wrigley played the position without
an error and registered a pretty single.
Little DeAiontreville was again very much
in evidence yesterday, his fielding being OF
the sensational order. saving at least three
drives from being registered as singles
against the McJames- record of the day.
The eighth inning proved the heart
breaker for the Senators yesterday, the
the Spiders came to the bat in that inning
and little Blake. who. although a weak hit

on the second ball pitched met the sphere

per cent por annum. The efforts to re-
form our criminal costs by the present

the ordeal Of the Supreme Court, and

will be curtailed. 1t is we'll enough FOL

VIEWS OF UNITED STATES
JUDGES.

Mr. James H. Malone, Memphis, Tenn:
DEAR STR-You ask me to state six
reasons why, in my judgment, consti-
tutional convention is needed in Ten
nessee. have long believed that the
constitution of Tennessee needed a
thorough overhauling. Within tho past
twenty years the public opinion of
America has made great advances in re-
gard to the subjects properly included
within State constitution, These ad-
vances have been made most evident in
the constitutions of some of the North
western States, where the latest and
most profound thought upon the subject
of constitutional limitation has found
place.
Our convention of 1870 met under 80
many limitations that its work cannot
in any sense be regarded as a new pro-
| ject The constitution of 1884 was sim
! ply amended in certain limited particu-
lars, and no effort was made to cover
the field which would be now open in
case we should be able to assemble q
new convention.
We have outgrown the constitution of
1894 and have outgrown the amendments
of 1870, and there are so many reasons
why l think this, that it is little diff
cult to limit myself to six propositions.
Without undertaking to select the
most important particulars in which
would suggest amendments, will name
six particulars in which should be glad
to see changes brought about:
l, The present county court system
should be abolished. 1t is cumber-
some, expensive and unenlightened.
2. Our courts of law and equity should
be consolidated. The Jurisprudence pc
culiar to each should be preserved, but
the administration should be in the
same court This will enable a reduc-
ton to- be made in the number of judges
and an increase in salary without
} adding anything to present judicial ex.
T penses.
3. The present fee system as appli,
: cable to county officers, district at
torneys, sheriffs, ETC., needs modifca,
= ton. There should be a maximum
placed upon the amount of fees retain
able as compensation for services rem,
} dered and the balance should go intC
, the treasury Of the State or county az
= the case may be,
t 4. The clause eZempting 81, 900 worth
: of personal property from taxation
? should be stricken out. Its operation
} is to cover and protect millions of per
? sonal property from taxation. Thil
5 change alone would in itself pay the en-
( tire cost of a constitutional convention
0 in one year.
/ 3. We should have lientenant-gov
a ernor, man elected with reference t.
y the possibility of his succeeding to TIL
d office of governor. All state officer
t now elected by the legislature should b.
/ made elective by the people.
Q 6. The supreme court should be lo
r Gated at the capital The salary of tn
Y judges should be increased, and pro
l. vision should be made, after the expira
o ton OF the terms of the present incum
i bents, for tho election OF one Judge onl
S at time. Any system by which tn
IS whole Of the court may 60 out at on
e time operates badly.
Y Very truly yours,

THE sTRAlGHToUT PoPULIsTs
Oppose Political Fusion and Charge
Democrats with Deceit,

Memphis. Feb. 25.--In the National
Reform Press association convention
yesterday General Vandervoort offered
resolution to eliminate all proxies
from future Populist meetings and
conventions and moved the adoption Of
the plank of the Omaha platform
which prohibits officeholders attend
ing the conventions of the party as
delegates. The resolution prevailed by
an overwhelming vote.
The committee on address next re-
ported. which was unanimously adop-
ted. and appeals to the Populists to
continue to battle steadfastly for our
principles until each and all are en-
acted into law, and the people given
Justice and equal opportunity to en-
Joy good government. Populist educa-
tion is bearing fruit and even now our
opponents in many states are making
efforts to enact some of our principles
into law.
THE failure of the leaders of the
Democratic party to carry out their
promises. by which they secured the
Endorsement of their candidate for
president, places the responsibility for
the defeat of promised reforms upon
the organized Democracy and serves
as warning that no reliance should
be placed In old party pledges.
1--WE strenuously oppose all fusion
or entangling alliance with any politi-
cal party, and we declare to the boys
in the trenches who are looking to us
for new hope and encouragement, and
to the whole country, that we will new
er furl our flag or fight under the ban
