FREELAND, NOVEMBER 29, 1894 The action of the Clearfield county assessors in establishing a fixed rate of valuation on all taxable property was the work of only a few days ago; but it is in advance of many of the counties of the state, in which the as sessors one of locality and those of an other go so independently about their work that tho assessed value in one place may be 25 per cent of the real value, while in another it is 75 per cent. Where a given amount of tax is to be collected tho valuation mukts small difference. If the rate of valua atiou be low, the tax will be high; if the valuation be high, the tax will be low. But unequal valuation make all statistical calculations of values in accurate. An old and trusted bookkeeper of the Shoe and Leather National Bank of New York has disappeared with $354,000. It is always the trusted employe who commits depredations of this extensive character, and this af fair presents little that is essentially new. It is the old, old story of op portuuity, of temptation, and of crime. The responsibility for tho opportu nity, at least, rests clearly with the officials of the bank, whose attention to their duties must have been of a merely perfunctory character, and the exact measure of their neg'ec' is furnished by tho fact that the thieving had been going on for five years, and was only definitely disclos ed at last by the investigation of the national bank examiner. "Mr. Wanamaker," says the Phila delphia Record, "confirms the an nouncement that he has been asked to be a candidate for the presidency of the Lehigh Valley ltailroad Com pany, and that he is holding the sub ject under advisement. The state ment warrants the inference that the proposition has come in a substantial and practical shape; and it may furthermore be taken for granted that its acceptance would be equivalent to an election, since Mr. Wanamaker would enter upoil no scramble for the position. Should the stockholders decide to place him in charge of their property tho result would be hailed with general satisfaction by Pennsyl vanians, who recognize in the Lehigh Valley Road a corporation closely identified with the anthracite and general trade interests of the state." On January 1 the income tnx law goes into effect. A person with a yearly income of $4,000 or below is exempted from taxation, but all of an incomo over $4,000 is assesed 2 per cent. A person having an income of $5,000 must pay an annual tax of S2O; on an income of SO,OOO, $4"; on an in come of $7,000, SOO, etc. Every per son of lawful age, having a taxable income of over $0,500 for the taxable year, is obliged to render a list or re turn of his income on or before Jan uary 1, as directed. The tax must bo paid on or before July 1 of each year. In case a person, having a taxable income, neglects or refuses to render such list or return, or renders a false or fraudulent list or return, the internal revenue collector is ex pected to make an estimate of the person's means and to add 50 pi r cent as a penalty to the amount of the tax due. In case of wilfully false and fradulent returns the collector can add 100 per cent as a penalty. Tho Washington papers intimate that Captain Ilowgato, formerly chief of the signal service, may finally es cape justice. He is indicted for for gery and embezzlement of over SIOO,- 000. Thirteen years ago he fled from Washington and went into business in New York, where he was arrested a few months ago. Until recently there has never been any doubt about Howgate's conviction when his case came up for trial. He took the money and ran away. These facts arc well known. Yet good lawyers now say that the prosecution is on the verge of a collapse because the in dictments are defective. An effort will be made to obtain new indict monts, but the statute of limitations will mako such proceeding of no avail. Altogether, it is a suspicious case. For some reason Ilowgate has never been much wanted in Washington. Somebody in authority has been try ing to shield him, anil it may be that the criminal will go free. Such trilling with justice is a public shame. Subscribe for the TBIBUNB. ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING. The date of the first observance of i this distinctively American institution has been a matter of some dispute. A writer in an exchange has been to some trouble to ascertain the facts and states them as follows: The first observance of a day of thanksgiving, formally recommended by the civil authorities, occurred in Lcydcn, Holland, October 3, 1575, it being the first anniversary of the de liverance of that city from siege. In July, 1023, a day of fasting and prayer was appointed on account of drought. Rain came abundantly while thoy were praying, and the governor appointed a day of thanksgiving which was observed with religious exercises. The Charlestown records show a sim ilar change of fast day into Thanks giving in 1031, on account of the ar rival of supplies from Ireland. Dr. Franklin tells us that in a time of great despondency among the set tlers of New England it was proposed in one of their public meetings to pro claim a fast. An aged farmer rose and spoke of their provoking heaven with their complaints, and of the cause they had for thanksgiving. He then made a motion that instead of appoint ing a day of fasting, they should ap point a day of thanksgiving. The assembly readily agreed. Massachusettes Bay was the first of the colonics to uppoint an annual thanksgiving by the proclamation of the English governor. During the revo lution Thanksgiving day wasa national institution, being annually recom mended by congress, but after the gen eral Thanksgiving for peace in 1784 there was no national appointment un til 1789, when Washington, by request of congress, recommended a day of Thanksgiving for the adoption of the constitution. Washington issued a sec ond proclamation of Thanksgiviug in 1795 on account of the suppression of insurrection. President Mudison, by the request of congress, recommended a Thanksgiving for peace in 1815. But i the official recommendation of a day | for the giving of thanks was mainly confined to New England until tho year 1817, after which date it was regu larly appointed by the governor of New York. In 1855 Gov. Johnson, of Virginia, recommended a day of thanksgiving; but in 1857 Gov. Wise, when requested to do so, publicly de clined, on the ground that he was not authorized to interfere in religious matters. During the civil war, in 1803 and 1804, President Lincoln issued proclamations recommending annual | Thanksgivings. Since then a procla mation has been issued annually by the president as well as by the governors of the states and the mayors of the principal cities. Custom fixes the time as the last Thursday in November. It is well for us all to pause a little in the mad whirl of business or work or pleasure, and think of tho blessings which have crowned the year, and lift up our hearts in special thanksgiving.

Now \ork Trust Companies and Na tional Hanks Secure tho Whole Issue at $117,077 Per SIOO-De-| tails of tlte Transaction Show a Gain for the Government. Washington, Nov. 27. The Trust Company syndicate has secured the $50,000,000 bond Issue. Secretary Car lisle has announced to Mr. Stewart, head of the combination, that their bid of $117,077 per hundred dollars is the most satisfactory to the United States government, and that they must take the whole issue at that figure, or none at all. Interest dates from Nov. 1. The proceeds of the bonds under this bid will be $49,517.62 greater than they would be if the other highest bids were accepted. A very Important ad vantage to the government in accept ing this bid Is the fact that all the gold will be furnished outside and none drawn from the treasury. It is also more convenient and less expensive to the department to deal with one party rather than with many. The Stewart syndicate in their hid direct that $40,000,000 of the bonds are to be delivered in New York, $3,000,000 in Boston, $3,000,000 in Philadelphia, $2,000,000 in Chicago and $2,000,000 in San Francisco. The bonds will be ready for delivery as soon as the syndicate pay their first Installment and indicate the amount and denomination of register ed and coupon bonds they desire. This may take week or longer, as the syndi cate Itself does not as yet know how their associates may want the bonds "broken." New York, Nov. 27.—The final dis position of the bonds, and the j>ecullar astuteness of the average Wall street banker is disclosed by the fol lowing statement, authorized by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, a prominent member of the syndicate: "The syndicate which has secured the issue of government bonds will place them on sale. Persons wishing to obtain them can procure a limited amount—the first $5,000,000 anyway— at 119." By this it will be sven that the syn dicate is to make a profit of $2 on every SIOO of the whole Issue. Tho United States Trust company syndi cate, the organization of which was the work of John A. Stewart, tho President of the company, is compose 1 of the United States and Union Trust companies, the First National bank, Drexel, Morgan & Co., and Har vey, Flsk & Sons, representing a largo number of other banks, trust com panies, private bankers and financial institutions. At the sub-treasury it was said that the government will get $50,000,000 In gold, at least, which amount will bring the gold surplus up to about $108,000,000 The money from the bidders has already begun to come in at the sub -1 treasury. The bonds will not be dis tributed from the sub-treasury but will be sent out direct from Washington. The successful bidders will bring their gold or gold certificates to the sub treasury and the latter issues certi ficates of deposit and give tho latter to the depositors. These certificates will be sent on to the department in Wash ington, which, on their receipt, will send on the bonds. The bonds are all ready, but none will arrive in this city before to-morrow. Later the representatives of the syn dicate paid into the sub-treasury SB,- 000,000 in gold on account. From other parties $4,000,000 was received. Mora will be paid in this afternoon, and judging from present appearances, the government will receivo much more of the yellow metal than it has any use for. Eight Thousand Arc Loyal.

Minister Dun Accepted as Mediator and the Alleged Snub to tlie United States Disappears in English Fog- Probable End of tlie Strife—Clos ing on Wei-Hai-Wei. London, Nov. 27.—The Japanese- Chinese war is practically over. From advices received here it is <• \ i<l nt that Japan is satisfied with the capture of Fort Arthur.. It is also certain that tlie United States has not been snub bod, as generally supposed here, in the offer to mediate. Correspondents at Yokohama and Tokio both say that Japan has consented to receive China's proposals of peace, through the American Minister Dun. It is also said that upon the request of the lat ter gentleman no attack will be made upon Pekin or Mukden, until it is cer tain that all peaceful measures have failed. Japan will probably agree to this, but will keep Marshal Oyama and Admiral Ito in readiness to re new operations at any moment. Berlin, Nov. 27.—1t is officially an nounced here that Japan recognized that the United States Minister ot Tokio, Mr. Dun, is a suitable channel I through which China can open up ne 1 gotiations for peace.

The destination of the third Japan ese expedition, which is now afloat, is supposed to be Wei-Hai-Wel. Yokohama, Nov. 27. —It is reported that a large number of Chinese fled from Port Arthur on the night of the 21st, the Japnnese opening the way of escape.

Marsha! i Oyama, while holding Port Arthur, j has hurried one wing of his army for- I ward to China's last stronghold, and that place is now said to be sur rounded. Should Minister Dun's efTorts to mediate fail to bring about a peaceful ternHnation of the war within a few days another great buttle will cer tainly be fought. VENO FOUGHT A LION.
