HARRISBURG.

Several suggestion have been made
for the benefit of mercantile appraisers
lay Auditor General Mylin. DE says
that appraisers shall personally visit all
stores or other places of business liable
to mercantile tax, and that no license IS
to be assessed where the annual amount
of sales is less than $1,000. If dealers in
liquors sell other goods than liquors
then they must pay license for the
sale of such goods. The department
will pay no bills for mileage unless 1t
is satisfied that the appraiser has IN
person visited in one continuous trip
every place of business assessed. Deal
ers in live stock are exempt as are also
butchers who sell meat of their own
killing, but dealers who buy the dress
ed product must pay a license. All
dealers haying shop away from their
slaughter house must also pay. Coun-
ty treasurers are instructed to give the
collection of license fol theatrical,
operatic or circus performances, and
museums, their personal attention and
to strictly enforce 1the act. All own
ers of restaurants, eating houses, etc,
not selling liquors, must be assessed.
Publication of the list is subject only
to the county commissioners and dare
not be made in a Sunday paper. Sum
mons and executions in suits for uncol-
lected licenses must be issued direct to
the district constable, thus preventing
grave abuse of the past in the way of
big bills General Mylin also states
that it is within his province to reduce
all bills so as to conform with the
meaning of the law.
The Society for the Prevention or
Cruelty to Animals is making a fight
against cattle shippers and from all

The Phil'a Bolt.

The correspondent Of the Pittsburg
Dispatch writes from Washington rs
follows:
Senators Quay and Penrose have had
many bad quarters of hours since the
anti Combine bolt from the Martin
convention at Philadelphia and their
could they hear from all of their friends
in the House as they have heard from
few.
1t is the undivided opinion of the
Pennsylvania Republicans in the House
and of others who are in the city, that
the action of the hewitt, or Quay Pen
rose, delegates was little less than in
sane, considering all the circumstance.
have spoken on the subject with
nearly every Pennsylvania Republican
member of the House Naturally they
will not permit the use of their names,
as most of them are candidates for Gov
ernor, and without exception they de-
plore and plainly denounce the bolt.
Nothing could have happened,
said one of these gubernatorial candi-
dates. which will more surely pave the
way for discord and disruption in the
approaching State Convention. Quay
has given bloody instructions that will
return to plague the inventor.
What can he say now against bolt
in the State ConventionY In that con
vention there will unquestionably be a
considerable body of delegates opposed
to what is called the machine They
will have a candidate in the person OF
John Wanamaker or another represent
ative of the Business Mems League.
The league will demand the .nomina-
tion Of their man as departure from
machine nominations, and as an ap-
proach to the purification Of State poll
tics. From this time on the feeling
will prove more and more intense.
Can Quay ask these men, before

thing for him TO demand.
'Of course the Quay candidate will

man, but look for bolt no matter
