The approach of the time for making the triennial as**<stnent of property for taxation purposes, is bringing to l.ght much discussion in various localities throughout the state, of the method in vogue of making a«s<~-ments, and the general inequalities of values placed on similar properties by different assessors. There seems to be a general demand for some more equable method of assessing real estate, whereby value* in the var ious boroughs and townships of a county world be placed more nearly on a pl-.ee. Up in Venango countv, Judge Cris well wrote an opinion on the law of the assessment, and the grand jury of tbe same county at a recent session in their presentment reported that they had ex amined into the matter and found grow irregularities in tbe assessments. They recommended that the District Attor ney institute proceedings against asses ■or* hereafter in all cases where the law is not folly complied with. Each assessor is required to suinscribe to an oath that be will assess all proper ty at its fuli value Withont favorit ism or diseriminatuja tacut assess each separate piece of what it would bring at public sale after fair notice. Some Coal. At one point in Pennsylvania, near Pottsrille, there are twenty-five differ ent coal beda with an aggregate thick ne>» of I*4 feet. In Alabama there are seventeen seams of coal in one field, and in this part of Pennsylvania we us ually have three or four measures, bnt rarely over one or two of merchantable coal. There are coal beds ail over the world, the richest deposits being found in Cc: ."V, where tbev extend over areas of many thousand square miles There is an abundance of coal in Rnwia, In dia, Africa, Australia, the Arctic re gions and io moat countries of Europe. Although China's coal beds extend over a million square miles of territory, tbe Celestial Kingdom has managed to struggle along for many thousands of years without bothering them much Later on they will likely be invaded bv the übiqoitious and irrc-pTe»sible yankee bnt lor the present we have an abundant supply in this c.untry, with mnch better freight rates In tbe meantime we need not be alarmed about the exhaustion of the coal supply. There Is enough to last for at least ten thousand years longer, and by that we not be in a position to care much about it. THOUGH Chamberlain nwigned his position In the English Cabinet he yet •eems to be the ruling mind of the country, as bis son, Austen, has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, against King Edward's protest. PKK.HIUE.vr ROOHKVKI/T and family left Oyster Bay, L. 1., Monday morning, and arrived that afternoon, at Wash lagtori. which again become* the Capi tal of tbe country Congress is expect ed to convene, this year on November 10, one week after election day—in order to get the Cuban Reciprocity bill out of the way before the regular session be gins in December, when a new Sjieaker is to be chosen, and there will be a wait of some weeks before the new Omunit tees are announced. The gathering of Congress will open up the Canal, Cor rency and innumerable other questions. Fiiank Jamkh, who some years ago filled a considerable i*agi* in history and who. as Shakespeare remarked, in his time, played many parts, has asked for an injunction to restrain a barn storm Ing theatrical company from producing "The James' brother* in Missouri," on tbe ground that tbe facts represented on the mimic st.ai/e are not correct hi* tory, that it amounts to defamation of character, and it is hurtful in its moral affect. This is a beautiful sentiment for the ex Pandit King to expre**, and may be token a 'omplete conversion from the error of hi* way* to the paths of right eousness and peace But, some way or (/ther, It hardly seems convincing. Ti:k time limit has expired, Colombia has refused to ratify the Panama Canal treaty and everything Is at a standstill In canal matters. Cnder tbe circumstances either one of four things can lie done. 1. We can abandon the Panama pro Ject altogether, and torn to Nicaragua. 2. We can surrender to Colombia, ac etpt her grasping demands and pay ex orMtant sums of money for right of way, H. We can en tor into altogether new negotiations. In other words, go through the or deal of submitting anoth er treaty to both Congresses 4, We can send a construct ion corps to Panama and build anyway I). T. Watko.n of Pittsburg is in creasing bis reputation 1/y bis work be fore the Boundary Commission, sitting in London. An effective feature of his argument, last week was tbe recogni tion of the American claim afforded by lhe consistent behavior of tbe British a-itboritles in treating the country as American territory, without any pre tuitions to the contrary up to the i»er iod wb< n Canada became aroused to the desirability of getting an outlet to the coast through lower Alaska. The Ca nndlan counsel, Htr Robert Finlay was driven to the assertion that British ac <)ul"sence In American occupation bad Mot been expressed and without, such n'jquiesence occupation was v ilneles*. This is a mark *1 departure from the well e*tab I'sln-d doctrine of International law that *o»erefgnt.y dr tw not e*|ot without ef f "five occupation. The Uolt' d Htatex his long oc<'Upi»w| the groind In dis p it", it has always be<-n mapped as American territory, even on the official limps of the British government To argne now that this occupation Is val neies* because not accomplished by tin acquiescence of the British kovemmeot shows that the Ca ntdian counsel is hard put to it In trying to make out a case |>,rd Chief Jnntice Alverstoiie of England, who is president of the commission, remarked that he could not understand the Brit l*h argument, and be pal>' Mr Watson ' the high compliment of saying ' with out wishing to flatter vou. yours Is a ! most powerful argument. The .Miller Case. An important conference t-xik place at the White Hocs«r Tnts«liy night, w tween Pr-sicsent Roosevelt ai-'l five members of the executive council of the American Federation of Lal*>r. inclnd- Prf sident Goinper? and John Mitchtl t«a<l of the Miner* anion, dunce which the case of Foreman XS A. Miller, of the government printing- Sice whowM dii=mi*ed because he had been expelled fro® the l'.«cal Bokbinders nn 10n and afterward wa* reinstated by direction of the Preaidect, was the prinHpal topic of discussion. The conference WAS granted at the request of the labor leaders. The Miller cass was very fully pre sented by the members of the executive council, at the cloee of which th* Pres ident made a statement in which he announced that his decision not to dis miss Miller w«« final, and that the question of his personal fif.ee- mast be settled in the regular routine of admin istration. Tbe statement in full is follows • Pursuant to the request of .-jainuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Lab>r, the President granted an interview this evening to the following members of the executive council of that body: Samuel Gompers, James Daocan. Joan Mitchell. James </Council and Frank Morrison, at which various subjects of legislation in the interest"/'! labor as well ee execu tive action'ttg- diacnased. Concerning the ease of A Miller the Pres ident made !<te following statement " I thank you and your committee for your courtesy and I appreciate the op portunity to meet you. It will always be a pleasure tu aee you or any repre sentatives of your organizations or of your federation as a whole. " 'As r«?arde tbe Miller case I have little to add to what I have already said- In dealing with it I ask you to remem ; ber that lam dealing purely with trie relation of the government to its ein- I ployea. I most govern my action by the laws of the land which I am sworn to administer and whicti differentiate- any case in which the government of the United .States is a party from a!l other coats whatsoever. These laws are en acted for tbe benefit of the whole people and cannot and must not beconstructed as permitting discrimination against some of the people. lam Presibent of the people of tbe United States, without regard to creed, color, birthplace, oc cupation or social condition. My aim is to do equal and exact justice as among them all. In tbe employ ment and dis missal of men in the government service i can no more recognize the fa'-t that a man does or does not belong to a union as being for or against him than I can recognize the fact that he is a Protest - ant or a Catholic, Jew or a Gentile. a< being for or against him. "In the communications sent me by various labor organizations protesting against the retention of Miller in the government printing office the grounds alleged are two-fold: First, that he i a non-union man, second, that he is not personally fit The question of his per •tonal fitness is one to be settled in the routine of administrative detail, and cannot be allowed to conflict with or to complicate tbe large question of rcrv era mental discrimination for or again*: him or any other man because he is or is not a member of a union. This is the only question now before rue for decision, and as to this my decision is final. Opportunity For Protfresslv <• Towns. As showing the high prices which manufacturing establishment* located in the Hty of Pittsburg must pay for ad ditionil land needed for necessary tensions the following from a Pittsburg paper is interesting. The Jones & Laughlin Steel company ha* concluded tbe purchase from J F > Tliomjsviti of a little over seven acre- f Isnd in the Twenty-third ward, for at suit fIiVi.OOO. It adjoins Other bold trigs of the same company, pucbased a few months ago. The recent purchase by the Jones and Laughlin company in the Twenty-third wara comprise about 20 acres, costing $20,000 an acre, or a to tal of %4W 000 The improvement*eon templated by the c<»mpany will Is of f/rime importance to that district. High prlc<r» arc driving the unw man ufacturing concerns outside the city. Tbi* condition i* not peculiar to Pitts burg as it is stated that the same U - - dency is shown at Chicago. The move ment gives an opportunity to progn-s sive town* to secure the hs-atiou »I plant* which are r-ompelled to remove Ijecause they have not sufficient room for expansion and also to get, n< w con which want at the start abundant room to grow. The townt within the 40-mile radius of Pittsburg get the s,nne freight rat; and, whet-they have the advantages of competing railr< «d tems, their growth with a little we*! di rected energy is as; ured.
