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.

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

NEW BAKER BALLOT REFORM LAW,
Let All Citizens of the Commonwealth Read and Study the
New System of Voting.
Introduction and Losson I.
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.
Lksson No. 1. The law rods into effect
m March 1, 1892. Thereafter all ballots
will bo printed and distributed at public
expense. Tho-Sscretary of tho Common

Superintendent O. M. Lawler to
be Promoted.
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. Mr. Wellington Bortolette.who has filled
the position of assistant superintendent the
past three years, will probably succeed Mr.
Lawler.
The agents of tho Lehigh Valley Com
pany bao received rubber stamps and all

pany at Gflborton, has been appointed sta

O.-ders have been issued for tho removal,
at once, of the large car shops of the Phil
adelphia & Baltimore Central Kail road
Company, located at Oxford, to Media.
Attorney General Uensol has written to
President McLeod, of the Reading Rail
road ; Maxwell, of the New Jersoy Central,
and Wilbur, of the Lxhigh Valley, that a
hearing on tha complaints of Messrs.
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.

A Plea for Germans.
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. Schmidt and
Schlitzer ain't got no relations in Cuineil,
but 1 think thero is too much of that busi
ness already and I say give others a chanco.

COMMISSIONERS
AND ASSESSMENTS.
LIVELY MEETING OF CITI
ZENS LAST NIGHT.
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
