THE county commissioners have their same old trouble with, the corporations who think they arc nsscssessed too high for valuable coal lands that can't be bought at any price, and the court will have to again decide the equity of the assessments. We hope, this time there will be a disposition on the part of the judiciary to be with the people. Here tofore coal lands have been assessed too low entirely when compared with the assessment of farming land in the lower end. — Lelughton Advocate. WILLIAM MCKINI-EY'S evasion of the challenge sent him by Colonel McClure, to debate the tariff question, would seem at first to be nothing less than cowardly, hut on second thought we are inclined to acknowledge that the apostle of pro tection iB a shrewd and cunning politi cian. To appear in public and bolster up "protection" against any of the prom inent statesmen in the Democratic party would result in a complete anni hilation of all the Major's theories and arguments. McKinley is a first-class orator, but lie is not fool enough to meet an adversary on open ground when he says anything about the blessings of the tariff. THE claim that our high protective tariff does anything to increase the wages of the workers in protected indus tries—for it is not asserted that others can be benefited by it—lias long been seen to be a sham and a fraud by intelli gent men who have looked at the mat ter without being blinded by partisan prejudice nud bigotry. And now the • New York World has conclusively shown this truth in sucli a shape that even par tisans cannot fail to comprehend it. It devotes ten columns to printing a list of the 500 strikes against wage reductions that have occurred in our protected in dustries since the McKinley tariff taxes begun to be enforced. And not a single instance of increase of wages lias been or can be shown. There may lie narrow minded partisans who still take some stock in tliis delusion about the tariff increasing wages, but it is safe to say that there arc no intelligent workmen among tlicm, — Ex, IK the Democartic party ever had a chairman who knew his business it lias one now. Mr. Harrity starts out with the united support of a party that knows what its principles are and knows how to present them before the people to win their approval. His appointment of the executive committee was the most skillful piece of work seen in many a campaign. Every man on it is an earnest worker for the cause, anil is willing to do all in his power to elect the ticket. Under the leadership of a trust worthy chief like Harrity these men will conduct the most aggressive buttle against "protection to American mon opolists" the country lias ever seen. THE trades council of the city of Glas gow, Scotland, takes a very difforent view of the Homestead trouble than most labor unions. While sympathizing with the men the council lauds Andrew Car negie as one of the greatest men of the period, as lie lias been the means of fur nishing to the world the most powerful object lessons of the relations between capita) anil labor that could be given. In theory this seeems to be a good view, but as Carnegie's men are nearly all Re publicans the great object lesson will be forgotten by November and they will be found marching along under the ban ner of plutocracy again. i'fliinHylvHula'H Gerry mantler. The Republican newspapers, says the Wilkes-Barre Leader, find a great deal to say about a Democratic gerrymander in Michigan, and are in estacies because the act redisricting the state into sena torial and representative districts lias been set aside by the supreme court of the state. This hilarity, however, is not destined to last for it is the intention of the Democrats to call an extra session of the legislature anil redistrict the state in accordance witli the criticism of the high court. With respect to the merits of the case j before tiie the court, which resulted in I the setting aside the act by which the I state was redistricted, enough has not I been published to justify an expression of opinion, but admitting that there were inequalities in the act it is hard to see wherein I'ennsylvania Republicans have anything to say, for a more unjust division than that which exists in this state lias not been devised by any party in the country. These few instances noted by the Pittsburg Poet throw light on the case and exposes the twenty-year-old Repub lican swindle as it now exists. DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS. County. Population. Senators.

Republican Lancaster, witli 50,000 less population than Democratic Luzerne, gets two senators, while Luzerne lias but one. It is by such processes the Camerons and Quays are kept in the senate. It is the double-distilled and concentrated essence of insolence and pull for Repub lican papers to whine and cant about Democratic apportionments in other states witli this hit of monumental scoundrelism devised and perpetuated by the Republican party of Pennsylvania before them. Some "Old Iron" from Cuba. Two very rusty and very ancient look ing cannon, which look as if they had been buried several centuries, wore taken off a freight train at the Fort Wayne depot yesterday. They were un mounted and were boxed up carefully. The two pieces were consigned to the World's fair and listed in the way bill sent to the custom house as "scrap iron." This "scrap iron" came all the way from Cuba and goes to make up what will probably be one of the most interesting exhibits ut the World's Columbian ex position. The two old cannon were secured by a United Stutes naval officer detailed on Worlil's fair service on tho site of an old abandoned Siianish fort on ono of the West India islands. It was on this island which history and tradition says the son of Christopher Columbus built u fort to repel invaderH, and the two can non were said to have been part of the armament of the fort. The guns were made in Spain and brought over ill one of tho vessels attached to the great navi gator's fleet. The valuable relics will probably lie a part of the government exhibit at the fair.—Chicago Times. Treatment for Overheated Horses. Dr. Zuill says lie believes that in most cases horses are exhausted from brutal indifference on the part of the ilrivei more than from ignorance. On hot daye he says horses should be watered at short intervals with all the water they will drink, and their headH frequently bathed with cold water. If the horse appears to lie much exhausted fifteen or twenty minutes' rest in a shady place will often afford sufficient relief. If at the onil oi this time evidence of exhanstion con tinues, nothing will give more prompt or efficient relief than to bathe the en tire body with water. In more extreme cases, when the exhaustion is complete, the uiiiuiul must be secured so as to pre vent him from Injuring himself until lie can be removed in an ambulance, and in the meantime ice should be upplied to his head and ice water to his body to reduce the temperature. Stimulants in the form of alcohol are indicated, but should be used with the greatest care, and always under the sujiervision of a veterinary surgeon.—Philadelphia Led ger. lie lief Map of New York State. One of the important exhibits of this state at the World's fair will be a reliei map showing each city, village and en tire canal system, the rivers, churches, institutions of learning, etc. Tho canal system, Niagara falls, Hudson river, etc., will lie conventionalized. The county lines will bo defined, tho heights of mountains above the sea level and bodies of water will bo accurately shown.

An Armenian woman was arrested ul Ahgora a few days ago on the charge oi having poisoned her son, Artin, a young man about thirty years of age. At the examination the woman made full avowals, declaring that she hail taken tho life of her son because she could nc longer stand his misconduct, The woman was afterward subjected to a medical Inspection, the physician de claring that she was not suffering from mental derangement.—Levant Heruld, An Iceboat Ilun by Steam. An icebont of new design is to be trieo uext winter. It is well known that till ordinary Iceboat is entirely dependent on the wind, but the new vessel carries j a steam attachment which renders it en | tirely independent of that source of mo tion.

Yet, all protectionist state as it is, it can hardly have escaped observation that Pennsylvania is also the state in which there have been the mo9t Berious disturbances as regards labor. There are almost always labor troubles in Pennsylvania. The excuse for high tar iffs of late years is chiefly that high tariffs are in the interest of labor. Yet here is a state in which a Wh tariff has been longer relied upon and is applied to more industries than in any other, and yet labor in it is more dissatisfied, more unhappy, more aggrieved and more turbulent than anywhere else in the country. llit-re is a lesson to be learned from this as regards which there is no excuse for mistaking. It is that high protec tion, when the most fully applied, is a failure in its effect upon labor. High protection does enable those who are assumed to benefit by it to make great fortunes. No one will doubt that who knows of the millions accumulated by the Scotts, the Carnegies and the Besse mer steel magnates; but while these princely returns are being realized the workmen are in a condition which re sults in chronic discontent, too often finding vent in bloody outbreaks like that now appalling the people. "But why do you attribute this to the tariff?" we may bo asked. We reply, in Pennsylvania the tariff is supposed to doits most complete work. Hero is the test of it, if there is to be a test anywhere. Pennsylvania is a state of such resources in her soil, in her min eral products and in the character of her people that industry, if left alone, would win success there if it will win success anywhie. If industry left alone had failed there, we would have been willing to admit that the failure was the failure of the American people engaged in in dustry when unshackled by government, and to hove looked for the cause of it in some mistaken action on the part of themselves. But when government steps in, and against the protest of a large portion of the intelligent citizens of tho republic including umong them nearly all those who have studied the principles which apply to the productive labor of men and have taken pains to observe their operation in our own and other couu tries—when government, we say, in the face of this remonstrance undertakes to establish another system, under which enormous fortunes aro built up, while labor is constantly dissatisfied and often in open outbreak, as in the casein Penn sylvania, it seems to us that we are jus tified in holding the action of govern ment as largely responsible for the trouble. The advocates of protection in Penn sylvania, as everywhere else, insist upon attributing evory symptom of prosperity to the tariff. Do they seriously expect that they are to be allowed to claim all the credit of everything that is good in its results to the tariff, and to be freed from the responsibility for all that is not good at the same time? They have vaunted of the effects of legislation that have made Carnegie rich enough to build a baronial castle and live in Eu rope. Aro they to shirk the responsi bility for that same legislation when the effect of it is seen in the turning of thousands of men out of employment and the driving them to desperation and bloodshed? If the tariff did the one, we respectfully ask why it has not done the other? The American people arc too in telligent to be bamboozled in 'the an swer to this question.—Boston Herald. Curiiegis'a Tin, Caution. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has two castles now, one in Scotland and one in Penn sylvania. The former iB a palace of pleasure where lie spends in luxury the money earned for him by American workmen in his protected steel industry. The latter is a fort where, with Pinker tonß and gunboats and hot water tanks and deadly electric wires, he keeps out the workmen who think they ought to share with him a few of the benefits of protection.—St. Louis Republic. The Democrats Arc Ahead. Mr. Stevenson, we are aware, was an athletic headsman during the adminis tration of Mr. Cleveland. Moreover, Mr. Adlai E. Stevenson is a man of brains. On a 'show down' of vice presi dential candidates, the Democrats, it strikes us, are ahead.—New York Times. llut They Don't Do It. The tariff "enables" manufacturers of the Camepio kidney to pay their em ployees higher wages. But Carnegie does not seem disjiosed to take advantage of the enabling act.—Chicago Post.

None South of Kentucky. It may be noted that Chairman Camp bell's appointees for the Republican ex ecutive committee are all from whut are called doubtful states, with the excep tion of the members from Maine, Mis souri and Kentucky. The other ap pointees are from lowa, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Wisconsin and Illinois. The ex-offlcio members are from Illinois, Montana, California and New York, which are all put in the doubtful list. It is significant that no member lives in a state sonth of Ken tucky and that West Virginia has no representative. Louisville Courier- Journal. Solid for Cleveland. The independent Republicans of Indi ana who voted for Cleveland in 1884 and for Harrison in 1888 have now bolted Harrison and will cast their votes for Cleveland. We know also that the civil service reformers of Maryland, the bulk of whom are independent Demo crats, but who object to the methods and practices of the leaders of the party in this state, will join heartily with the regulars in carrying it for Mr. Cleve land.—Baltimore Sun. H© Doesn't Want Competition. Without a protective tariff to stimu late artificially the production of steel and iron by the bonus of large profits, neither Mr. Carnegie nor any other cap italist would take chances in the estab lishment of these great and expensive works beyond the legitimate demands of a market which would be governed by competition with the world.—Nor folk (Va.) Landmark. A Kuril AVIH. Ex-Senator Warner Miller is credited with the intention to raise a sufficient sum of money for the purchase of a medal to be presented to Appraiser Coop er, in recognition of the fact that Mr. Cooper was the one prominent employee of the present administration who did not go to Minneapolis.—St Louis Re public. Will Have to Fight Both Kant and West. Governor Fifer says that Illinois will be the battle ground of this campaign. The same thing is said of ev6ry other western state by other Republican prophets. The inference seems to be that the party of Harrison and Quay must fight for its life all along the line. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Novomber Will lllglit the Wrong. "Closed for repairs" is the legend writ ten over the doors of 400 iron mills in Pennsylvania. Open for repairs will be the pulling precincts of that state in November.

The helplessness of the governor of Idaho in the presence of the rioting miners comes as a new illustration of tho political recklessness of the Repub lican party in admitting such states to the Union.—New York Evening Post. He Need. No Tarlfl* Now. While the iron workers are idle, the entire tariff on iron can be removed.
