HOTEL KENNEDY, LAPORTE, PA DARBY KENNEDY, - PBOP. Everything First Class. Charges Reasonable. Mar 7-90 BALLOT LAW CUAKGEM. Amendments That are Likely to be Made to the Present I.aw. Many changes have been suggested to the Bilker Ballot Law as it now stands upon the statutes, and these Lave all been referred to a sub-com mittee of the House of Representa tives, who have about agreed upon the following: "First, strike out of the ballots the residence of the candidates as being wholly unnecessary. It is in the nomination papers and that is sufficient. It only increases the size of the ballot by having it on them. Second, a reduction in the num mer of ballots, as the large amount of unused ballots all over the state justifies us in doing so. Third, have bit one day, to wit, Monday, on which to deliver them to the judge. It ie not only very expensive but difficult in some of the counties to deliver on one day, let alone two. Anyway it is looked upon as it is now as being the farcial portion of the act. Fourth, the time of the sheriff to make his proclamation is to be ex tended. As it is now it is impossible for him to fully comply with the day. Fifth, the validity of all certifi cates of nominations to be tested in the common pleas of the district where the nominations are made, ex cept those made instate conventions, they to be tried in the courts of Dauphin county. The amendment is because the courts of Philadelphia sent the Fox-Dai ley and the Rob bins-Donohue and the McAleer-Kcr cases to Dauphin county, under a strained construction of the law. Sixth, the method of marking the ballots; the committee will recom mend that each candidate's name be marked either with an X or an O, and that group marking be done away with. Seventh, all groups to have a party appellation where that party for ten years has been making nomi nations in a state convention. This leaves in the prohibitionist but keeps out the socialists and other parties who, like Jonah's gourd, sprung up in the night. Eighth, repeal that portion of the law requiring the sheriff to issue a proclamation for city elections; the small cities in the state like Mcad ville, Oil City, Williamsport and others ask for this. Ninth, no can didate to be a watcher or to be al lowed in the booths after depositing bis vote. This is to meet the trouble where >t is alleged one Harry Hun terment in and officiated; besides, Twflicli it is against the great princi ple of the purity of the ballot as contetded for in the act. Tenth, election officers not to be allowed to prepare the ballots of anj person who claims to be disabled. Eleventh, all persons who claims to be disabled must swear to the same.— Ex. Senator Porter proposes that 2000 pounds shall be a legal ton of anthra cite coal in Pennsylvania. The law at present requires that there shall be 2240 pounds in a ton of antharcite coal, and most consumers would rather have the weight increased than diminished, unless there is a guarantee that the price will be re - duced in proportion. Every pur chaser of anthracite coal by retail pays for 2240 pounds to a ton, though probably He is lucky if a 6 much as 2000 pounds to the ton is always delivered in the cellar. The law fixes the ton of bitumious coal at 2000 pounds, but that commodity in practice is usually measured by the bushel. The American Iron and Steel Association has just abandoned an atttempt to have 2000 pound tons used in the measurement of the iron and steel product, but the long ton of 2240 pouuds is very bard to displace. We do not think that Senator Porter can legislate it out of existence for antharcite coal. His bill, if eDacted, is likely only to increase the confusion worse con founded which characterizes the weights and me isures of this State. The best way to get along in this world is to get along. The man who stands still is liable to catch a cold ppd nothing else. CORBETT LEFT FOR CANADA. Hs Expeoti Mitchell to Aeoept the Coney Island Club's Offer. NEW YORK, April 2. —Champion Jim Corbett accompanied by his wife, Joe Corbett, his brother, and Manager William A. Brady, left for Montreal on the 5:15 p. m. train on the West Shore road this evening. The Californian will not be 'seen in New York again until he returns to train for his battle with Mitchell, Before leaving Corbett had a long talk with Jack McVey, of Trenton, who assisted him in his training for his fight with Sullivan. The result of the talk was that McVey accepted Corbett's terms to assist in prepar ing him for the match with the En glish champion. Corbett said that he expected Mitchell would accept the Coney Is land Club's offer and that the match would be soon definitely settled. He expressed the greatest confidence in the Cone}- Island Club's ability to draw off the contests. "I do not believe" lie continued, "that there will be any howl made against it or that the authorities will interfere. The club has pulled off successfully many other similar contests and I think it will be able to do likewise with the Corbett-Mitcbell contest. Regarding the club's articles of agreement, Corbett said that he wanted certain stipulations putin before he would sign them. He wants the contest to be decided according to Marquis of Queensberry rules. If cither man fouls the other once the offender is to be cautioned. If he commits another foul the event shall end then and there and the fight awarded to the man fouled. If either man drops down to avoid punishment the offending fighter shall be cautioned once, and if he drops again the referee shall declare the other man the winner. Corbett will train for the battle at his road house at High Bridge. lie will be trained bv Billy Delany, Jack McVey and Jack Donaldson The champion will work his way now toward his home in San Francisco, after which he will spend six month at the World's Fair in Chicago, re turning to New York in September to begin work for his contest with Mitchell.
