TOBACCO IMPORTERS KICK
Provision OF the Dingley Bill Means Losf
Of $500, 900 to Them.

Provision Of the Dineley Bill Means . Loss
of $500, 900 to Them.
New YORK, July 28.-The Dingley
law has caused a panic among importers
of tobacco, who declare that one para
graph in the new law, which compels
importers to pay duty on tobacco at the
weight it goes into the bonded ware
houses, takes privilege from them that
has for many years been accorded by
the tariff laws, and will mean a loss to
importers in New York alone of $780,
600 a year. The weight Of tobacco is
greatly reduced during the bonded
period by evaporation. When tobacco
arrives from long ocean voyage it is
frequently insufficiently cured and has
absorbed large percentage of moisture.
This moisture evaporates in the ware
house.

BALLOT LAW CHANGES.

The ballot law passed by the re-
cent Legislature of Pennsylvania is
of some importance in that it
makes certain provisions of the for
mer law more consistent, harmonic
ing it with some judicial opinions,
and in making palmer the direc-
tions respecting tho administering
of the law
The amendments specify more de-
finitely the shape in which nomina-
ton papers shall be prepared and
filed, and provide sort of copy
right for any political appellation
agreed on by five electors of any
political body who make nomina-
ton by nomination papers pro
vides against the use in nominating
papers of party appellations not only
at nominating conventions compos-
ed OF delegates, but also at primary
meetings and caucuses. 1t also re-
quires certificates of nominations of
Representatives to be filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
and requires that all certificates to
be so filed shall be flied at least forty
five instead of thirty-five days be-
fore election and nomination papers
thirty five instead of twenty eight
days.
The secretary in certifying the
form of ballot is authorized to place
a circle at the top of the column con-
tanning nominations made by politi-
cal bodies by nominating papers.
The size of the ballot is also at
tempted to be controlled by a pro-
vision that name shall appear but
once by certificate of nomination
and once by nomination papers, It
would probably have been better to
have a name appear but once on the
ballot in any form. There are sew
eral defects in the ballot which are
not remedied, one is as above stated,
and another is that which allows a
voter on his mere statement that he
cannot mark his own ballot to take
help in the booth to aid him. This
is a fertile source in aiding bril-
cry and the law should require a
man to be actually disabled and to
state wherein he is 50 before he can
call in assistance.

Now that the country has had
time to examine the charges of the
Democrats who were saying that
the Dingley bill was advantageous
to the sugar trust, it is quite appar
ent that the charges were entirely
without foundation. 1t is generally
conceded that the bill deprives the
trust of the advantages which it
had under the Wilson law, aud is
less advantageous to trusts general
ly than its predecessor which was
framed by the very men who were
foremost in the charge against the
Dingley bill.

cInders or Olrtlu the Eye.

Tho instant a foreign substance is
felt in the eye throw the head back
and drop two or three flax seeds on
the ball of the eye and lift the up
per lid and draw it down over
them, so as to hold them in. There
is no disagreeable sensation attached
to putting the seed in, and the re-
lief will come instantly. The mois-
ture of the eye dampens the seed,
and it gives out a mucous substance
which spreads over the eye and COW
ers the grit. After awhile the seeds
will bring the offending particle
out with them.
