Complaint is made that the bal lots for West Berwick borough were! wrongly orinted, and that the result may be that the election in those boroughs will be declared void. The ballots were all printed at the Comtmiuax Okfich. and were printed in accordance with the copy furnished us. No mistake was made here. Columbia county has ' several ways of printing ballots for differ ent localities. There is the reerular form lor boroughs, another for townships, another for the Bloom Poor District, and still another for Conyngham School district. Papers are sent 111 to the Lomuiissionert office without any in truction whatever as to t'e make up of the ticket. Frequently more person are nominated by caucuses than can be elected, and when several persons are nominated for the same office there is nothing to indicate how many are to be elected. The Commissioners' clerk and the print er have to do a lot of guessing, as it is impossible to make up a correct ticket from some of the papers filed 1 here is no reason why there should ever be any trouble about ballots. As required by law, sample ballot was sent to the judge ot election of every district last week, Thursday. This is done so that corrections may be made there is any error. If the judge sticks it in his pocket and makes ao eftort to see that it is all right, he is not the man for the job. The ballots are supposed to be prepared properly, but with our complicated system mistakes will happen, and the sendiug out of specimeus is to give time for correction if any are needed.

TO AMEND LICENSE LAW. Liquor Dealer Drafting Bill That Win Be More Definito as to Restriction. Sweeping additional regulations ol the liquor traffic of this State, in the interest of the liquor dealers, will be adopted at the present sess ion of the Legislature, if the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association of Eastern Pennsylvania has its way A bill containing numerous amend ment 10 me present nign license is being drafted by W. J. White- house, of Pottsville, counsel for the association, and will be introduced into the Legislature by Representa tive C. A. Snyder, of Schuylkill county and it is declared that it is slated to pass. Mr Whitehonse says the bill will cover many phases of the liquor tranic on which the law is now si lent, thus necessitating rules of Court which differ widely in many counties. Among these subjects arethelmirs of closing on week nights and the question of opening or closing on holidays. TIIK HOLIDAY DIVERSITY. In certain sections of the State the saloons have been ordered clos ed by the Judges on Memorial Day, Christmas, etc., while in other parts there has never been any question of the rights of saloons to keep open on such days. in giving orders in this respect it is said that certain Judges have made use of their power to threaten a revocation of licenses if their or- 1 aersare not carried out. in some counties saloons are compelled to close at 10 o'clock at night, while in others they are allowed to remain open until midnight, and still in others all night. WANT LICENSE TO BE UNIFORM. i ne legislature should more closely define the regulation of the traffic," said Mr. Whitehouse. "Every saloon keeper will then understand just what he is to do. The average saloon keeper wants to obey the law, aud when he does this he should not be bound down by additional rules, operative in only one section. "We expect the bill I am draft ing to have the support of every liquor dealer in the State, as well as those who are w'lling that the traffic shall have fair play." It is intimated that the bill may have a clause which will impose greater responsibility upon those who make charges against liouor dealers, with the intent of revoking their licenses.
