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

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

they include the Intelligence which

he would grunt naturalization papers
to no man who had not read the
Constitution of the United States, and
his determination met general ap

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.

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.

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.

is a gigantic corporation under tbo new ar

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

borers, and tho merchants and others do-
pnndont upon thnm, In consolidating tho

has consoli m d ttrn miners, and tyrranical

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 REPORTS OF THE
ASSESSORS ACCEPTED,
LOCAL ASSESSMENT QUES
TION SETTLED.
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.

which will ba presented with entirely now

bination is one of tho largost and strongest
on tho road and if you want to enjoy a
good hearty laugh don't fail to bo there.
A Narrow Escape.
A belated drummer bad au exceedingly
narrow escape at tho Lehigh Valley depot
this morning. As tho 8:52 train pulled out
for Shamokin ho mado an awkward at
tempt to board it. Ho caught hold of tho
hand-rail of tho car with bis loft hand and
mado a jump, but fell short ofthostep.
Too train had gainod some headway and as
the drummer half ran and half leaped to
keep up with it and savo himself from go
ing boneath the whoels the peoplo at the
depot looked on in breathless excitemont.
Finally Engineor Jero. Kyan took in the
situation and roversod bis engine. The
drummer got on first and his hat followed
him. It was an uncertainty for about fifty
yards and tho drummer was lucky.
