BALLOT LAW CHANGES. Tho ballot law passed by the re cont legislature of Pennsylvania is of some importance) in that it makes certain provisions of the for mer law more consistent, harmoniz ing it with somo judicial opinions, and in making plainer tho direc tions respecting tho administering of tho law. The amendments specify more de finitely tho shape in which nomina tion papers shall be prepared and filtxi, niiil provido a sort of copy right for any political appellation agreed on by five electors of any political body who make a nomina tion by nomination papers : pro vides against tho use in nominating papers of pa rty appellations not only at nominating conventions compos ed of delegates, but also at primary meetings and caucuses. It also re quires certificates of nominations of Representatives to be filed with tho Secretary of tho Commonwealth, and requires that all certificates to bo so filed shall bo filod at least forty -flvo Instead of thirty-five days be fore olection and nomination papers thirty-five instead of twenty-eight days. The secretary in cortifiying the form of ballot is authorized to place a circle at the top of the column con taining nominations made by politi cal bodies by nominating papers. The sia3 of the ballot is also at tempted to bo controlled by a pro vision that a name shall appear but once by certificate of nomination and once by nomination papers. It would probably have boon better to have a name appear but once on the ballot in any form. There are sev eral defects in the ballot which are not remedied, one is as ubove stated, and another is that which allows a voter on his mere statement thitt he cannot mark his own ballot to take help in tho booth to aid him. This is a fertile source in aiding bril ery and the law should require a man to bo actually disabled ami to state wherein he is so before ho can call in assistance. A lot of new straw and felt hats at W. & J. Mitchell's. It is always gratifying to ieceive testimonials for Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and when the endorsement is from a physician t is especially so. "There is no more satisfactory or effective remedy than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, writes Dr. R. K. Kobey, physician and pharmacist, of Olney, Mo., and as he has used the Remedy" in his own family and sUl it in his drug store for six years he should cor tu inly know.

Scarcely a day passes that many persons do not in some way or other Ret a scratch, a small cutor a bruise that may break tho skin. In most Instances, not V'1'1 slightest atten tion is paid to this beyond tho tem porary annoyance of the pain and the possible irritation when the hands are pnt into the water, or some subsequent blow on tho same j spot brings an exclamation on nr I oount of the hurt.. This, while n common practice, is by no means a wise. one. Tho air is full of floatinj! disease germs, esiiecially tho air ol rities and towns, and an Injury of this sort, in- it ever so slight, might fnrrish excellent breeding ground for some deadly bacteria. It is a good plan always to keep a bottle of prepared carbolic acid and glycerine, and frequently touch all bruises or sore spots with it. This is one of the most convenient and effec tive germicides imaginable. It is said by excellent medical authority that the use of this preparation would prevent half of the contagi ous diseases that afflict tho country. It is believed that many cases of fever and other serious ailments can bo oontraotM by a floating germ coming in contact with the abraded skin. Once snugly lodged in this most congenial dwelling place the gorin multiplies with amazing rapidity and soon overruns tho entire Fystom. Therefore, when ever there is a bruise or scratch, or any injury of this sort, germicidal applications should bo at onco re sorted to. Tho Home Doctor. A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea. In 18152, when I solved my coun try as a private in Company A, lCTth Pennsylvania Volunteers, I con tracted chronic diarrhoea. It has given hie a groat deal of trouble ever since. I have tried a dozen different medicines and several prominent doctors without any per manent relief . Xotlong ago a friend sent me a sample bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and after that I bought ond took a 60 cent bottlo ; ond now lean say that I am entirely cured. 1 cannot be thankful enough to you for this groat Remedy, and recommend it to all suffering veter ans. If in doubt write me. Yours gratefully, Husky Htkixrkkoer, Al lentown, Pa. Bold by Druggists and General Merchants in Pike County. - Cindera or Dirt in the Eye. Tho instant n foreign substance is felt in the eye throw the head back and drop two or three flax seeds on tho ball of the oyo 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 tho seed in, und 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 tho oyo and cov ers the grit. After awhile the seeds will bring tho offending particle out with them. Now that -the country has had time to examine the charges of the Democrats who were saying that tho Dingloy bill was advantageous to the sugar trust, it is quite appar ent that the charges were entirely without foundation. It is generally conceded that tho bill deprives the trust of the advantages which it had under the Wilson law, and is less advantageous to trusts general ly (hvn its predecessor which was framed by the very men who were foremost in the charge against the Dingley bill. Soft Cotna. Many people want a cure for soft corns. First, keep the toes constant ly opart by placing a wad of cotton between them. Heoond woar broad toed shoes made of soft leather. Third butbe the feet in warm water every night, wipe them dry, and ap ply aqua ammonia to tho corn. Soft corns are caused by squeezing the feet in narrow toed shoes. By keeping the toes opart, you remove ! tho cause and cure the corn. - - To Take Out Ink Stains. To take ink stains from white cut ton goods, wet tho garment in wa ter, rub common soap on tho spot and pour on spirits of turpentine. Lay aside awhile, rub gently, ad ding more soap and turpentine, uu til tho spot disappears. J ut t ry u 10c box of discards the finest liver and bowel regulator ever made. When he Stuttered A man who stuttered badly went to consult a atpee-Mhst about his all'iiction. Tho exp.-rt asked : Do you stutter all the tim :'i N u-no, said the sufferer I s s-stut-t- ter only when I t-t-talk Political Gossip. Silver bullion fell to tho lowest price ever known last- week. Business in Mcxil'o is in bad shape owing to tho continued fall in the price of Hilvor, and (hero is talk of going to the gold standard. Wheat poes up and silver goes down despite the assertions of silver orators of lt fall that these two commodities kept pace in the markets of the world. "The II ra sugar rate is written i'l the tariff bill, not the corruptly purchased Sonata rate. It Is n prent victory for right, for j'.ntico, and the people " New York World ( Democratic!. 'The new tariff cuts very severly into protection granted the sugar refiners tinder the Wilson bill." From "Sugar Trade Journal,'' (offi cial organ of the American sugar in terests.) "If the promise of the harvest fields is fulfilled it will be hard for theorists to persuade a thriving icoplo that they need monetary panaceas to keep them out of the poor-house." New York World. Tho last week in duly. 1H!)7, will long Ira remembered os tho first one under the imw tariff law. Reports from every direction show that the effect has boon instantly effective, both in manufacturing and business circles. Tho s olid business men of the country lying west of tho Mississippi are greatly depressed over tho fail oro of the Trans-Mississippi Con gress, which was intended to be useful in tv business way, but failed because of its capture by tho silver politicians. Sugar refineries and factories will soon lm scattered over the prairies of the Mississippi Valley in a vay which promises to malco tho sugar trust extremely weary, especially in vjew of tho fact, that it has already lost the advantages which it enjoyed under tho Wilson law. Tho "hold up" of the Dingley bill in tho Senate by the Democrats and Populists is tho cause of tho light receipts which may be expected un der that measure in its first few months by reason of the enormous importationsthat tho "hold up" per mitted the importers to make. "The case of tho farmers has cer tainly been hard for several years past. It has been a principal couse of discontent, and tho fruitful mother of wild financial schemes. With that betterment w hich is now so surely approaching, tho occupa tion of the demagogue and the Utopian dreamer will be gone." Xow York World. Australia, which last year pro duced 64:1,000,000 pounds of wool, is likely to produce no more t han half that in the coming season. Her sheep are dying by thousands from starvation on account of shortage in pasturage, and tho quantity as well tvH quality 'of her product in this line will bo materially reduced, thus adding to the price that American farmers will probably get for theirs. An interesting feature of this fall's campaign is the development of strength among tho gold Democra ts. It is quite npparout that in every Shite where there are to bo cam paigns their organization will be much stronger than it was lust fall, while the national organization is pushing work from its national hoadquurtors in Xow York a:id will aid with spoakors ond by other moans wherever there are Stato campaigns. The recent incroasod gold develop ments, not alone in Alaska, but in the increased production of mines everywhere, is a hard blow to the 16-to-l theorists, and, when coupled with tho fact that tho prices of farm products have advanced and that crops are plentiful and that farmers uro paying off their mortgages, must prove very depressing to those who have insisted that prosperity could alone coma through the adop tion of free silver. "When Mr. McKinley sout a com mission to Europe to plead again for international bimetallism, two classes of men confidently prophe sied ignominious failure. Both must be somewhat discouraged by the 'results attained and promised. Tho hope of international bimetallism is not dead. The time has not come when wo must choose between making silver a bjise metal on the one band, or making it in its depreciated, state our only money metal on tho other."

It Is further provided in the amended bill that the name of a can dldnte for any oince shall not appear more than once on a certificate of nom ination or a nomination paper. This will have the effect of reducing the size of the ballot, which lias been growing to mammoth proportions Governor HaHtlngs has concluded the work left htm as a legacy by the leg islature, and on Fiiduy started over luud fur his home In Ilellefonte. lie had many things to consider In dis poning tlimlly of the bills, but the work whs conscientiously done, and he leaves the result to the people. When he started a few weeks ago to Investigate the expense accounts of the several coiiiinlltees he renllaed that he was undertaking something that was bound to arouse the enmity of all persons In tel ested and the criticisms of news papers unfriendly to him. Hut having mapped out a One of policy with re spect to these bills he continued to the end. and as a ronsenuence of his com-nu the commonwealth hus been saved In the nelKhhoi hood of half a million dol lars. In vetoing- the expenye accounts of member of the investigating com mittees the governor took occasion to say that muny members had made up their accounts under the honest as sumption that they were entitled to mileage and to other compensation not authorised by law. The fact of the matter Im, the whole system of It gls lutlve InvestlMatlons, having grown into an abuse. Governor Hastings deter mined to make a start in the direction of abolishing this, species of extrava gance. It will he noticed In his vetoes of these bills that he has allowed ex penses where it w:is shown by those who submitted Itemized statements that the expenditures were properly made In the line of investigation. He cut down the Item of 176.000 for salaries of otlleeiH nnd employee of the houe to nbout tMii.iinn, and reduced the sen ate Item for the same purpose In a proportionate degree. I Anproprliif tons Approved. Among the items In the general ap propriation bill which were approved are the following: For fitting Grace church for the use of the legislature, M.VMM; for rental of Grace church two years, $,ii,00; for expenses of Tennessee cen tennial commission. fUi.OoO; for un veiling ceremonies of the monument to General John K. Ilartranft In the front of the eapltol, r.00; for payment of expenses incurred by the Gettys burg Ilattletleld Monumental associa tion in tho dedication of the equestrian statues of Generals Meade and Han cock, J1.200. In the general bill among the items approved was one making an appro priation of 15,750 for the salary of the chief of bureau of mines for two years; also 12.684 for assistant chief of this bureau for two years, and $575 for mes senger of the bureau, and $5,000 for contingent expenses thereof. This Is the new bureau created by the last legislature, and Governor Hastings will have the appointment of the chief. It Is said that Hubert Ilrownlee, super intendent of the Ited Run coul mines, located near Ttalaton, in Lycoming county, a personal friend of Attorney General MeCormlck. Is his selection. No name has yet been announced In connection with the ollice of assistant. Attorney General MeCormlck has handed down an opinion In the matter of publishing mercantile appraisers' lists. In York county gome of the newspaper owners held that selecting newspapers for printing the list was a subject for the auditor general to de termine, rather than the county coin enlsHlonere, and some of the newspapers printed the list without authority to do o and sent in bills accordingly. The attorney ijeiieiul held that the mutter was one for the commissioners only to decide. Ho Illrd Day In the I'uhllc s.-hoolH. The late legislature passed a bill to establish "Hlrd day" in the public schools and providing for a pnVcluma tlon of the same by the superintendent of public Instruction. This bill has set apart one day In each school year on which the sthoolB would have exercises in the fojln of lectures upon birds, read ings from bird literature and essays containing results of the observations of birds by the pupils, th singing of songs about birds and the recounting of personal experiences with them. Governor Hastings vetoed the bill on the ground that the school children cuuld nna mora profitable employment In adhering to the established curricu lum of studies as Is now required than they would If they were occupied In the way provided by the act. 11 said furthor thut the amullieance of such school holidays as Christmas, Wash ington's Birth,.luy and Lincoln's nirth duy, ltiurih of July and Momorial Day, would be detracted from by adding "Bird Day." ' Two yeai-f ago the governor disap proved the bills fo the Ileller-Laubat h senatorial contest from Northampton county, aggiegatlng about Hi.ouo, be cause the bills were not Itemized. This y-ur oih.r bills were sent to him with I tie total reduced to about IK,0..0. and he uppioved them. I:i cutting down the expense amount of the various investi gating committees the governor makes this stirsehuon; "Inatmuth a there appeal s to tte no leirislntlon fixing the frep ,,f pt'-nogi uphci-p for services to letlilatlee eoiuuiltteee, Ihe fees and mtletie of wHnesFes. snd Ihe fees and nillentre of the eeiuennt-nt-arms, in performing service for the committees, I earnestly recommen.l that nn act of aneinblv be proved governing oil these sobJect-" I'm 1 1 nltx of StiitB Ofno'M-.

There Is also an Item of fr.00 for the paint ing of the portrait of Lieutenant Gov ernor Walter I. yon, to be placed In the Bnrne collection. The .Fish and flnmc lllll. The Btnte Hportnmen's association was intensely Interested in the Baldwin bill providing for a state game and fish warden at a salary of 11,200 a year, whli h wa: vetoed by the governor. At the hearing at the executive depart ment the president of the association made a strong plea for the hill, and even went so far as to pit dpe the as sociation for the salary of the warden If the governor thought the finances of the state would not Justify the ap proval of the bill. It was disapproved on other grounds, which were pet forth at lenirth. The general fish law, framed by the state commission and Introduced by Representative Peoples, of Lancas ter, was also vetoed, the framers of the nietiure having repudiated it on account of the changes unpatlsfactory to them which were made by the house. This bill was a rodillcatlon of all the fluh laws and a repealer of a-iiumher of them. Among the bills vetoed by the gov ernor was one bearing the name of Reprepr.ntative Himon, of l'lttsburg. It provided for the purchase of the fran chises and property of electric light companies by the municipalities within whose- limits such franchises were ex ercised, and restricting municipalities from performing any business of such corporation without first acquiring Its franchises and property. Strong pres sure was brought to bear upon the governor to induce him to sign the bill, but many of the boroughs and cities of the state protested on the ground that such a law would be a Berlous hindrance to them. It was expected that the governor would disapprove the appropriations for the Lehigh university and Univer sity of Pennsylvania, but he only cut (50,000 from each institution, giving Lehigh university 15,o)0 and the Uni versity of Pennsylvania $200,000. There were few appropriations to hospitals and other pr ivate charities disapproved. Ill fact, with the exception of two hos pltnls that were not yet built, all these appropriations were signed. New Mcrnatitllo Tux Kill Vrtoert. The governor sprung a surprise on the last day by difapprov Intf the mer cantile license tax bill, which was op posed by the merchants throughout tho stute. He says in conclusion, after a full discussion of the measure: "For BiU'i-r.il years the biiL-luiMs depression has b-en so uieat that almost every Industry has stiuaKled to exist, and I am umi!li:.g to Impose further burdens upon thepe Intei ests for the reasons that I have Hinted." It wns generally expected thnt the governor would ap prove this bill, and there were many interested persons who were desirous of being appointed to the positions of mercantile appraiser under this act." i'-everal prominent Democrats, among them former Lieutenant Governor Chanucey F. Illnck t York and James Kerr of Clcarlleld, weip here the other day to firrance for a meeting of the exerutlve oomin It tee of the Htate League of Democratic societies on Aug. li. in this city. This meeting has been called to make arrangements for the annual convention vt the societies, which will be held at Wilkesbarre phortly after the Democratic state con vention at Heading, when the nomina tions will he latilk-d and plans adopted tor the campaign. Owing to the late day the state com mission authorized by the late legis lature to arrange for Pennsylvania's exhibit at the Tennussett centennial has decided to erect no building, bu4c4o recommend to the manufacturers of the state that they make mich exhibits a they think best. The Tennessee man agers have agreed to reserve for Penn sylvania such space as may be neces sary for the state exhibitors. An ap propriation having been made by the legislature for the dedication of state monuments at Chicamaugua, and also for the transportation of survivors of thut battle to the battlefield on the occasion of the dedication of the mon uments, it is proposed to have Penn sylvania day at the Tennessee cen tenlal about the 1st of October, so thut the old soldiers and others who go south about that time may be able to purttclpule in both events. The Army of the Potomac will have a reunion at Columbus. O., a few days previous, and the general Idea Is to have the veterans of the war go first to Columbus, thence to the Chattanooga ceremonies and on to Nastivllie for the Pennsylvania day exercises at the centennial. Governor Hastings and his staff, with other state officials, will go south, at this time. Ai elaborate program has been promised for this occiu-lon. TAC&foLk;. THE GRAND ARMY.
