The Merideu Republican observes that: "It is nu Instructive circum stance that lu the present Springer free-wool bill the duty on the plush and cloaks of the rich Is reduced 20 per cent., while the rate on the blank ets and hats of the poor la lowered only 6 per cent." The sapient Springfield Jiepublican arises to remark: "It is hard to hold the South 'solid,' that Is, to keep the Democratic majority lu all the South em states from dUiutfgrating." 'Yes, indeed. The collapse of the Louisiana lottery shows that Democratic solidity is on the wane. Congressman Dickerson's bill for a reduction of the rate of pensions to certain classes of soldiers is notthe first measure of the kind proposed In the present Democratic House . Several other bills for that purpose were in troduced ahead of Dickerson's but his will r"hd the heaviest cut in pensions. The bill now pending in the Denfv. emtio House which provides for cut ting down pensions twenty-five per ceht does not apply to all soldiers, but to certain classes, it is intended imerely as an entering wedge. If i'lccessful in this, cuts bigger than wenty-flve per cent, and applying to ill classes of soldiers will be in order. The McKinley tariff reduced the duty on binding twine until it was merely nominal and could not possbly add anything to the retail price. Springer's free binding twine bill Is just eighteen months behind the times. That' bird's nest belongs to last year and there are no eggs In it.

One por tion wants the MclClnley bill repealed entirely and another wants to tackle It by piece meal. Borne want the tarlfl to take precedence, whilo the silver men are lighting hard that Bland' silver bill may be first considered. There is no end of trouble yet in store for that big majority In Congress. Representative Watson, of Geor gia, grew quite pathetic in his speech on the Indian appropriation bill when he promised to deal fairly with the veterans who upheld the Union flag and asked better treatment for "the one-armed and one-legged veterans who upheld the honor of our flag." Mr. Watson ought to know by this time that there is only one flag in the United States. ' The proposition to put binding twine on the free list is too barefaced a fraud for even such a free trade Organ as the New, York Times. It points ont that the McKinley bill practically cheapened binding twine as far as it is possible to dooo by lowering he tar ill, and that if the light duty now re maining should be repealed it could ' iuC mke any difference in the retail price of the article to the farmer, B1NO A SOKG or DEMOCRATS, Sing a song ot Democrats, Mostly full of rye, Going down to Washington Feeling pretty fly. liufwhen Congress opened What a lively inussl Every mother's son of them Ucgan to kick and cuss.

Ex"Inatokv Some time ago the HEIMI.I) published the Rallot Reform Act of 1SB1 In full with Ihe expectation that the readers who gen erally Interest themselves in elections would clip out and preserve the series. This was done by many, but others looked upon the pub lication us something on the style of notices of sheriff's sales. Others could spare the time to mid the articles, while others who did read them failed to preserve the serleB and have al lowed the provisions to escape their minds. It is abiolutely estenttat that erirv rofer in the ttate thoultl poat htmielf on the Act. The Herald will do Its best to put before Its readers concise lessons embracing the material points of the legislation so that they may know Just what the law Is, what its provisions arc, and how they operate.

Superintendent C M, Lawler, of Will lamsport, has been tendered the Jsuperin tendency of the main lino, which posi ion is now hold by Mr. Sweigard who it is un derstood will be transferred to another division. Mr. Lawlor is one of the most energetic.ablo and courteous officials under the P. & It. company and his unswerving fidelity to its interests has won for him the unbounded confidence of Proaident Mc Leod.

Cassatt and Powdorly in regard to the Reading leases will take place in Harris burg, on Thursday, March 3. Tho attorney general also calls for copies of tha leases or agreements by which the Ro&ding acquired control of the New Jersey Contral and Lehigh Valley roads. The Philadelphia Inquirer says: ''A break in Reading stock was expected to follow tho publication of Mr. Cassatt's and Mr. Powderly's letters to Governor Paul son in regari to the coal deal, but tha price fluctuated but little. Traders are inclined to let it alone until the outlook becomes a little clearer. Even in tho ovent that tho leases are set aside, tho same result can probably be effected by different means and in no case can the anthracite companies go back to tho old condition of antagonism. The report current that W, A. Lathrop has resigned the superintendence of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. is denied by that gentleman. lie also states that ho has not even contemplated resigning.

Editor Hukald : 1 think that the Germans, although thoy woro defeated in ho last elootion, aro deserving of some recognition from tha Citizens' party for the good work thoy did and I think they should be, because they worked hard in the Fifth ward for Ihe Citizens' ticket and be causa when any party works hard for a party thoy should be recogniz-jd. I think if tho Citizens' party wants to bo strong next year it must recognize ihese men and I say that Frank Schmidt, ono of the most solid and wide-awaka Germans of our town, would make a first-class borough treasurer. And I also think it w.uld bo a first class good idoa far Conncil to make Frank Schlilzor, another German, a po liceman this year. They have English, Irish and "Welsh on tho police force now and why can't they have a Gorman police man? If tho Citizens' party wants to make a good hit, now is the time.

THE COUNTY SOLICITOR PRESENT Warm Debates Ovor What Should be Taken as the Actual Value of Properties In Making Assessments. County Solicitor "Jimmv" Minoirue dropped into a hornet's nost last night. He attended the meeting of the citizens 111 the Council Chamber. Whon he entered tbo room his lace beamed with good nature and smiles. Half an hour later his "phy siog" looked like the Betting sun, great beads of sweat stood upon his brow an i the smiles wore replaced by a stern, ham- mer-and-tongs expression. The cause t tha change was the discoverv bv Mr Minoguethat the citizens of Shenandoah did not agree with him and the County Commissioners on the method by which the trionnial assessment should be made this year. Mr. Minogue spoke for some time and inado some excellent points, yet there were times when his arguments were not accepted by the meeting as logical. 'Ihe meetinglast night was not as larco as ths previous ono, yet the taxpaytng public was well represented. Several members of the committee of thirtem were among the absent ones. All the assessors were present. S. A. Beddall was made chairman and W. J. Walking, of thf. Hkkalu, secretary. M. P. Fowler was the first speaker. He outlined the work of tha committee an- pointed to revise the work of the assessors and declared that nothing had been left undone to present a fair and equitable assessment return to the county commis sioners. Ho paid a special compliment to S. A. Beddall from whom, ho said, the committee received invaluable assistance in ascertaining the ownership and location of properties. After a lew remarks Mr. Beddall intro duced the County Solicitor. Mr. M.nogue answered a quostion s&ying that several assessors have made their repjrts to the County Commissioner, but they are not satisfactory, because the assessments are.not considered high enough. Mr. Beddall called to mind a point made by R. A. Glover to tho effect that Shenar doah is purely a coal town. That th mineral wealth is being rapidly exhauste ' and the place will eventually bo left wit!' out any and the placo should not be assesse on the basis of other towns in which it real estate promises to enhance in vaiua It has been tho custom of tha Couct Commissioners to reduce tho assossmeuu on coal lands, but leave the assessments tn private properties as made by the a' lessors Mr. Minogue took the fl or again. He Bald the assessments of the past have be -' no assessments. The books tf the assts sors are full of irregularities. No man is fit to be an aste s r unless tio deyol- s some time to it. It require time and this has not been done. It Is this that has forced itself upon the Commissioners and they made up their minds to equalize and tp adjtut tb assessmitnts. "If the character of your property is not permanent," con tinued .ur. Minogue, referring to t:.u statements regarding the undsrmining ' properties in town, "your assessment is r. i permanent. It is only for three years. Ii your valuation decreases in three years, your assessment will be decreased. The basis of an assessmsnt is the actual rmV t o a thing. You must get the actual value u. tho thing as it is. The reason tic commissioners thought it best t raise .the asswtuieut to the aUua value of properties was to reduce tnp rata of mill. I have no doubt that if we bad the actual value and a tborcugh assessment wo could run the county for twu mills on the dollar, where it is seven now. An ordinary assessment would give us at least three mills. The farmers and pwr people aro assessed at full value. Yuu have property in this town whioh is n-.t assessed at ono-bal:' its value. I knnw property in this town assessed at $uo two that it making $70,000 In ono year. Asn land is just as bad. I was fi little astonished at Shenandoah when I heard of the stand it had taken. It i. belter to submit and. do the best we oan, and then we will all come In under tbo same rule. If tbo rititri will unite and help us make an assessment there will be an honest etlort of theOm roissloners to stand by you. The present Commissioners will not listen to mob law, vlolonco, or tho threats ot corporations I am authorized to say that they have mailt up their minds to do what is right betv.-.-,.i, man and man." In conclusion Mr Mlnoguo stated that the assessors aro bound to take their instructions from tna Commissioners and if thoy don't do their duty they aro guilty of a crime on domcatior. A statomont that the selling figure f a proporty is not a test of value created a hreozo. If a man puts up a house at a tCVnlirii( on Fourth l'ltge.'t.
