Clrcu- latlon books open to all, What are Juries paid for? Certainly not to disagree. The early spring crop of 'betrayed husbands" who "uvengo their honor" by killing "the dtspoller of their families" is very largo. i The calte walk is epidemic all over the country, but it will be observed that It never strikes twice in the same place. There are no encores. Recent Incidents in Japan and France will doubtless convince foreign ers that the American husband Is dangerous. The limited circulation in this town of the Republican was increased last evonlng by u free distribution containing Archibald Belschazzar Lamb's vindication that doesn't vindicate. If Sullivan, Slaven, Mitchell, Cor bett and others ol their kidney would kindly consent to withdraw to some sequestered spot and settle the bust ness with dynamite bombs they will rank as public benefactors. Three hundred thousand German m Hussians are said to be coming to the United States. They are represented as being excellent people, sober, honest and industrious, but ignorant of the world, and especially of Americau institutions. We have room for them, but unless they have some idea of what a Republican government means they bad better be kept out of the country. Such increments to our populatiou are desirable only when they include the Intelligence which thoughtful American citizens havo come to the conclusion should be possessed by all who nsplre to citizen ship in the United States.

AT KEITEE'S. he would grunt naturalization papers to no man who had not read the Constitution of the United States, and his determination met general ap provul ; but of what avail would such reading be to the masses of Ignorant foreigners who are now flat-king to our shore? The subject of lmmlgra tion thould engage more of the atten tion of Congress than that body has hitherto bestowed upon it. We would suggest to the Great Dictator when he again desires vindi cation that he take advantage of the largo circulation of the Herald, He will not then be compelled to report to free distribution with marked copies, because the Heraid is read by all the people. If "A Citizen" had included in the Pottsville Handbill last night the transactions at all the caucuses the past few weeks he would' have made his letter au exceedingly Interesting one. The declaration alleged to have been made last Sjnday evening by one of the present policemen would have made it spicy, Prosperity to the farmer means similar conditions to all who labor; but prosperity must first come from the farm, and through the farm to the factory. The farm stands at the threshold of production, and if the farmers' labor go unrewarded success can not come to those who base their hopes upon what he produces. The vast interest represented iu manufuc turlng, transportation, mining, and the minor Industries must look to agriculture as ' a basis for all calcula tions for the future. It then follows that tho home market is the market worth considering; and the political party which aims to impair its con suming power should be denounced as a common enemy, publicly arrayed againBt prosperity. All perishable products must Ami a market near home to be valuable. It la far easier to bring the factory with its employes to the vicinity of tho farm than it is to transport the perishable product to the great centres of trade. Thelnoreaseof farm property within a radius of ten or twenty miles of a large factory can be used to demonstrate this truth.

A. nas baa a wonderful growth in Pennsylvania. Twenty branches in tho stale own build' logs valued at ?1,287,7( ). Although wo trout season is over a month distant many of our local fishermen aro already polishing their rods and laying in a new stock of tacldo. Tho season opens on April 15. Now that tho organization of Council is over lot the members prepare thomsolvos for business and show tho poople tho timber thoy are mado of. Of course it cannot bo expected that thoy can jump into tho work and make a showing at once, as tho chairman must first appoint his committees. This will bo dono at tho regular raeetlog of Council on tho 17th met. But moanwhiio tho Chief Burgess and High Constablo can do something and tho Councilman and Supervisor can proparo thomselves for suggestions whon tho commiltoos aro named. Tho Borough Treasurer can also find something to do in the meantime. Ho can prepare a statement of tho oxact con dition of the borough as shown by his books and givo tho members of Council some Idea of just how tho borough stands financially. Few, if any, members havo any idea. Somo of them know that tho debt of tho borough is heavy, but it is doubtful if any of them know what it is and how much the flnanco committeo must bo prepared to meet during this year. Tbo stone crusher, fire alarm systom, and hoso and flro ongino companies, together with the regular appropriations and incidontal oxponses, will keep tho financiaUend of Council figuring pretty well during tho noxt twelve months and tho sooner propar ations ate rando to handle them, the'bettor. Tho borough will need all tho money It can lay It) hands on this year. V Speaking of the financial condition of the borough, it would bo well if tho members of Council who aro talking of reform would put their preaching into practice by properly publishing tho annual statement of tho borough and list of exonerations from taxes. Those publications in poster form havo long since boon declared and demonstrated a farce. Tho only way to get those statements properly in tbo hands ol tho people Is put them in tho news papers, Tho publication of tho exonera tion list alone would bring soveral hun dred dollars into tho borough treasury. Tho Hkuald is not making a bid for the printing. That would bo a waste of time. Tho suggestion is a sincere one. V If Tresldont McLeod carries out his published intentions, which wo beliovo aro accurately recorded, tho coal trado will boom as it never boomed boforo attor the investigation of tho "deal" is ended, and that tho deal will be sustained seems to be a forogono conclusion in this section of tho region. The cutting down of unnecessary expenses, disposing of expensive and speculating middle men, the handling of tho markets direct, or as nearly as prac ticable, will be a boon to the Heading systom and undoubtedly revert to tho benefit of the miners and others who bare so long suffered through its crippled con dition. Ihero is every reason to believe that if the Reading can got upon its feet it will give better satisfaction to its employes. This is what Mr. McLeod promises and the only thing tho employes can do is to have pationco and liopo for the fulfillment of his promifoi, It Is hoped that when tbo timo dors arrlvol Mr. MeLeod's firs', act will bo to knock tho sliding scalo in tho head. Tho Philadelphia and Heading Company is a gigantic corporation under tbo new ar rangement and Its oxponses will run high, but by coonomioal management of a com bined staff of tho beet railroad and ooal men In tho country it should bo mado a paying concern. There is a bright futuro for tho anthra cite region, Tho Heading Company can not afford to kill tho goose that lays tho golden egg, and that it will do if it crcatos dissatisfaction amon? tho minors and la borers, and tho merchants and others do- pnndont upon thnm, In consolidating tho workings in tho Lackawanna, Luzerne and Schuylkill rogions the Heading Company has consoli m d ttrn miners, and tyrranical measuies with this immense body, made up as it is of nationalities from alt parts of tho globe, would mean a terrible uprising.

Burgess Smith Explaini Chief Burgess Smuh callod at tho Hxr ald office this morning and mado a statement regarding tho form of oath ho administered to tho Councilmcn and otbeu at tho organization of Council on Monday evonlng. He siid that on Monday last the Borough Solicitor, upon his request, looked over tbo law to ascertain tho correct form of oath to be administered ; and that the Solicitor found that tho Act of Assembly of 1851 wpi tho only Act applicable to boroughs and that prescribes tho form of oath administered by Mr. Smith, verbatim. Tno oath that has been administered here tofore, Mr. Smith says, is only administered to state and county officials. Tho Burgess also says that tho roview of tho law was made by tho solicitation and dictation of no ono other than himself, and ho asked it because ho wished to havo tho proper form administered as he was in doubt.

THE 60MMISSI0NBRSGIVB A POINT But at tho Same Time Givo Notice That They Will Form Themselves Into a Board of Revision. OW tho rato of assess ment of properties in town seems to depend upon who can play the best cards. The County O immission ors have avoided gr ing into court by accopting the reports of our ward assessors, but as thoy havo tho right to roviso tho assessments under tho existing laws and raise or lower the valua tions of properties as fixed by the assessors it s likely that tho matter may yot go before tho Judges. Our assessors did not follow tho inslruc tions of the Commissioners and assess tho proporties at thoir full values, but fixed the rato on tho eamo basis as last year, with the exception of making additions for im provemonts on some of the coal lands. Tho books now 'n the hands of tho Commissioners are in tho samo condition as they were when originally submitted by tho assessors, before tho last meeting of citizens. "When accepting the books the Oommis sioners gavo notico that thoy would go over tho books as a board of revision and raiso and lower tbo properties, as they mny see fit. Tho oxtent to which thoy will exer cise this right will deterraino whether or not tho books will go before tho court. Assessor Cullen, of thi Fifth ward, says he notified tho Commissioners not to change valuations in his book without first giving him an opportunity to bo hoard. The action of tho Commissioners wi.h ro gard to tho Mahanoy City assessments in dicates that they intond raising all valua tions as noar as possible to the full figures. It appears that tho assessor of tho First ward of Mahanoy City raised tbo assess ments to tho full value, in accordanco with tho instructions of the County Commit sionors. Tho other assessors of tho town dis regarded tho instructions and subsequently tbo First ward citizens asked for tho return of their book for correction. Tho r;quost was denied, tbo Commissioners stating that tho books becamo the property of tho county whon submitted by tho assessor and that tho assessments of tho ward were mado in accordanco with their directions. As tho matter now stands tbo properties in the First ward are assessod at full valuo and all others aro fixed at about ono-balf, It is believed tho lattar will bo raised by the O)mmissionors to what thoy deem full valuo.
