1 lie Triennial Assessment.
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.

left Oyster Bay, L. 1., Monday morning,
and arrived that afternoon, at Wash

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 <•

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.
