FREELAND, FEBRUARY 25, 1897.
It Is Time to Call a Halt.
Instead of Increasing the tax levy to
meet the current county expenditures, a
burden which would fall on the people
generally, why not increase the valua
tion of coal lands to what would he a
just figure? The valuation placed on
coal lands is ridiculously low, compar
ed with what it should bs, and this gross
injustice ought to be righted. Coal
property does not bear its just and rea
sonable burden of taxation, and an in
crease of 100 per cent could be borne
without doing injustice. That's the
direction duty points, Messrs. Commis
sioners, and the plan Is a safe one to
follow. The people are taxed enough.—
Newsdealer,
The Newsdealer strikes at tlie root of
the trouble. With a proper valuation
placed upon coal lands, and for that
matter upon all assessable property,
there would be no deficiency. Instead,
thero Is a barefaced and flagrant viola
tion of the law practised in the commis
sioners' office year after year. Local
assessors may return property as often
as they wish at the value the law says
property shall be assessed. These re
turns, however, do not stand. The com
missioners, without authority from the
state, scale the figures down to one-third
and sometimes to one-fourth of the
amount sent them by the assessors. The
revised figures arc then made the basis
for the commissioners' estimates, and
the tax duplicates are made out accord
ingly.
This system Is an ingenious one, inas
much as It prevents property holders
from making any objections worth
noticing. The small owners, like the
big ones and the corporations, are favor
ed, not nearly so much, of course, but
sufficient to keep the great majority
from complaining, fearing that the
valuations of their own little homes may
be raised to their true value if a noise is
made.
This fear acts as a splendid check
upon those who desire to enter a protest
upon the system which permits unjust
assessments to bo practised annually in
Luzerne county, and in the absence of a
protest the inequality and injustice con
tinues and grows more noticeable every
year. There are coal lands in this
county assessed at less than 1 per cent
of their value. Not an acre in the
county is assessed at 33 per cent of its
value.
Those facts arc known to hundreds of
people, but the proper steps arc not
taken to remedy the evil. The man
whose home Is assessed at perhaps less
than 50 per cent of Its worth considers
himself fortunate in escaping that much
of tax burden, and leaves the objecting
to some one less favored. Little does he
think that in a few years lie pays double
and treble the amount he would if all
property, coal lands especially, were
rated and taxed at the value placed
upon them by experts.
The extra two mills which the com
missioners intend levying, making a
total of eight mills for county purposes,
is an outrage upon common sense, and !
the new board, from which so much in
the line of genuine and wholesale reform
was expected, deserves the severest
censure which the citizens of Luzerne
county can inflict. The increase Is un
necessary and uncalled for. If the
funds are inadequate, and it should not be
surprising to find them so, the remedy
lies in having the assessment books re
vised by intelligent men and taxing all
property at its true value, as the law
intends should be done. Any other
method places a stigma upon the board
which honest men will not tolerate.
The proposed issue of $90,000 worth of
4 per cent bonds by the commissioners
smacks so much of the ridiculous thai
comment must be reserved until it learn
ed positively whether Luzerne is govern
ed by a set of corporation slaves or by men.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, February 23, 1807.
Notwithstanding Senator Kyle's asser
tion that he (lid not get the Republican
votes which re-elected him by making
promises, the Republicans in Washing
ton are now counting upon his voting
with them to obtain control of the sen
ate organization and to iill committee
vacancies that will exist March 4. This
confidence of the Republicans is not
based upon any vague expectation or
hope; they do not say Senator Kyle may
vote with us, but that Senator Kyle will
vote with us. In voting with the Re
publicans in this particular case, should
his vote settle the question, Senator
Kyle will betray the principles he pro
fessed ever since he entered the senate.
As most people know, the senate finance
committee, as at present made up, is
controlled by silver, although seven of
its thirteen members, including the
chairman, are Republicans. There will
be two vacancies in this committee on
March 4. Senator Sherman will enter
the cabinet and Senator Voorhoes will
retire to private life. The Republican
leaders consider it necessary, as this is
the committee that will handle the new
tariff bill, that both of these vacancies
shall be filled by men who can be count
ed upon to support the new tariff bill
and to oppose any silver legislation that
may be prepared; and they are saying
that Senator Kyle, whose advocacy of
silver and.of free trade is widely known,
will vote with them. If he does, what
will be the natural inference?
Representative Mcßae, of Arkansas,
who was one of the Democratic members
of the coinage committee who voted for
the favorable report, with amendments,
of the senate bill authorizing the presi
dent to appoint delegates for any Inter
national monetary conference, called by
any nation or by himself, took occasion
to briefly state the attitude of tin; Demo
crats toward the bill, lie said the
Democrats had no faith whatever in
such a method of bringing about the
free coinage of silver, but that they had
no desire to place any obstacle in the
way of the Republicans trying to carry
out the promise made by their national
platform; on the contrary, that they
were anxious for the next administration
to demonstrate to the country what
could be done along that line.
The civil service commission has made
answer to senator Allen's resolution,
adopted by the senate last week, as to
the alleged dismissal of two women from
a branch of the agricultural depart
mcnt, at South Omaha, Nebraska, for
displaying pictures of Mr. Bryan in the
late campaign. The answer says the
commission investigated the complaint
when first r..a<!o and itSocretary Mor
ton denied that the discharges were
made for the cause specified, or that
he knew the politics of those discharged.
The most significant portion of the an
swer, especially to those in office who
regard themselves as being protected by
the civil service commission, is the fol
lowing: . "The commission is not an ap
pointing, or reinstating, or removing
body.''
Representative Walker, of Massachu
setts, couldn't upset the Reed rules, but
he could and did express himself very
vigorously on the subject, saying in
part: "Under the rules of this house,
we get mighty few rights. When you
go to see about a bill, you are referred
to a sub-committee, and then you may
cool your heel 9 thero day after day be
fore you can got so much as one mem
ber o{, the gub-couimittcc to hear you.
And when you do, lie tells you he knows
all about it, and intimates that you are
boring him. Then when ho reports
against you and you try to appeal to the
full committee, you get no satisfaction."
He called this "a system of tyranny,"
and added much more to the same effect.
It is unfortunate in more senses than
one that there should be an investiga
tion at this time into an act of the ad
ministration by which the step-father of
the president's will be largely benefitted.
And everybody sincerely wishes that the
senate committee on public lands will
find everything straight about the Flor
ida land patent for 23,000 acres, which
was recently issued to Mr. Perrine, the
husband of Mrs. Cleveland's mother,
and which the committee is now inves
tigating. Ex-Congressman Brookshire,
of Indiana, is counsel for the settlers on
this land, who claim that the grant was
forfeited many years ago.
Hon. \V. .1. Bryan will visit Washing"
ton this week, but ho will not probably
stay until Inauguration day. Ho will
be the guest of John It. McLean, who
will give a dinner to about 100 guests in
his honor. This dinner will not bo a
political event, as the guests will include
a number of personal friends of Mr.
Bryan in all parties. But during Mr.
Bryan's stay thero will be a conference,
perhaps several, to discuss the imme
diate future of the Democratic party.

FLOATING IN THE AIB.
Jew Aovop'ano Designed for the
Imperial Russian Navy.
I y Means tlie Movements of Hos
tile Warships Can lie Seen front
Afar—Buoyed Up by Alum
inium Cylinders.
The aerial observation ear, an in
penious device which lias just been per
fected by Paul Skobeloff, a Russian
naval expert, is destined to be of great
bervice in marine warfare, as by its
application the officers ofione fleet can
l>e n prized of the enemy's movements
by signals from the clouds, while the
enemy will be ignorant of being
w atelied.
This invention is to some extent a
modification and a vast improvement
upon the war balloon, yet it bears so
little resemblance to the usually con
ceived idea of that machine that the
observer might well be pardoned for
mistaking it for anything except an
airship. It is, in fact, a combination of
all the practicable features of air craft
constructed during the lust quarter of
a century, and, in addition, lias a num
ber of entirely new and novel features
which give it a success heretofore un
attained by any invention for aerial
navigation.
With this car, says the New York
Herald, the maneuvers of hostile ships !
can be observed long before they come
within the range of vision of anyone
aboard ship, and high among the clouds !
the rider of this novel machine signals '
his fellows by means of colored Hags
just what the enemy is iloing.
Stationed at Yladivostock, that lone
ly Russian naval station on the east
shore of Siberia, M. Skobeloff has dur
ing the last few ycars had ample time j
and opportunity to arrange and perfect
his plans for a successful trip among
the clouds. As n result of his thought
and labor he has just completed the
aerial observation ear, itiul after having 1
successfully tried a working model, a
large one is now being constructed at
Yladivostock, and it will in the early
spring bo placed in actual service on
one of the Russian war ships of the
Pacific squadron.

AERIAL OBSERVATION CAR.
the plans and movements of tlie enemy
miles away, consists of three large
cylinders, two of equal size and one
larger one, nil of aiumiilium. The two
small cylinders are cigar-shaped, and
are held in place side by side and sus
pended from the larger cylinder, which
is about 18 feet long and eight feet
in diameter at. the liront, while the
stern is somewhat smaller.
Projecting from each side of this main
cylinder are two sheets of aluminium,
which might be termed wings. They
arc seven feet long and three feet in
width. At the. stern of the cyliuder
there is fixed a large but light fan
wheel or propeller, which, when in mo
tion, acts in the air exactly as a ship's
propeller does in the water, forcing the
car onward through space.
Extending downward are four lig!;
but strong steel rods, to which are at
tached the two smaller cylinders, paral
lel with each other, but sufficiently far
apart to allow for the. working of the
machinery of the car between them.
When it is known that an enemy's
ship is in the vicinity, the services of
the aerial observation car are called
into requisition. The cylinders are par
tially tilled with gas, which is carried
for that purpose in a larg; storage tank
on hoard tlie ship. Tlie car is then
lowered over t.lie ship's side into the
water, and the rider takes his scat
upon the machine. The filling of the
cylinders is then completed and tJie
viirship rhes from the water like a
huge sea hi id.
High :p in the air the rider lias an
unobstructed view over miles cf water.
No bullets can reach him, and with
a powerful glass lie can at his leisure
locate the hostile ship or ships and
by tlie signal code give t he information
to his own ship's officers, who are
watching him through their marine
glasses.
When it is desired to return to the
ship the turning of a lever beneath
the handle bar of the machine opens u
let. of valves in each of the three cylin
ders and allows as much (>r as little
of the gas to escape as the rider may
desire. Instead of sinking d'reeUy
dow'ii now, as would an ordinary balloon
when the gas is allowed to escape, this
aerial ear descends in a diagonal direc
tion., being enabled to do so by the
wings, aided by tlie propeller and w heel.
As not all the gas is exhausted from
the cylinders, the car rides lightly over
the top of the waves; at the same time
the rider is clear of the water and in
no danger of a witting. The lead-bal
lasted cylinders maintain the machine
in proper position, mid the demonstra
tions by models have proved that quite
rapid progress can be made with this
car.

guished bravery. He won the Victoria
cross for ixis gallant conduct at the re
treat of Inhlobane during the war In
'/atluland. On that occasion he rescued
a brother oflicer who was, while re
turning on foot, hotly pursued by the
/'ulus. On the same day he conveyed
if) a place of safety Lieut. Kveritt,w hose
horse had been killed under him. He
also saved the life of a trooper whose
horse was exhausted and who otherwise
had been killed by the savages. The
Zulus were within 80 yards of the sol
dier when Lieut. Bullcr came up and
rescued him. Since those early days
Duller has been a prominent figure iu
the fights of the English against the
savages whose territory lias been lo
aded by the British. In the Egyptian
war of 1882 he was present at the act ion
of Kassassin, and likewise at Tel-el-
Kelier. In the Soudan expedition of
1884 Sir Redvers took n leading part,
and he served under Lord Wolseley in
the expedition of ISSS into the very ter
ritory he now goes to as commander.
As a general, it is the opinion of experts
that, with tiie exception of Wolseley
and Roberts, Buller stands bend and
shoulders over any general in the Brit
ish army.
QUEEREST OF BIRDS.
! litis the Face of n Cat, Tall of a
Turkey and Feet of u Dog.
i The queerest freak of nature ever
! seen in that section of the country, and
| vvhat is said to be the queerest bird ever
I discovered, tlew into a tree on Jesse
j Branthoover's farm, six miles from
I Apollo, Pa., several days ago and has
I i.ince been in captivity. That it is a
! bird seems certain, because it has wings
j which are certainly more than three
feet long, but in other respects it is
. difficult to classify. Its face is that of
a cat, its feet reueuible those of a dog
and its tail is similar to those of the
uirkey. its beak and talons ore as
sharp as those of an eagle, and it lias
great spurs like a gamecock.
From all the country miles around
people have come to look at the mon
strosity, but no one has been able to
identify it. Farmer Brauthoover was
plowing his field when lie saw the bird
in a tree. lie fired at it, and, one of
its wings being wounded, it fell to the
/flSv^
A FREAK OF NATURE,
ground. _Then the furiner attempted to
iiiek it up, but a fight which lasted for
naif an hour ensued, and the sharp beak
and talons inflicted wounds the scars of
which Brnntlioover still carries. At
lust the farmer's son Ned came to the
rescue, and together they succeeded in
capturing the queer bird, which has
since been confined iw the granary.
Many attempts were made to photo
graph the thing before the effort was
successful. The bird would fly into n
j age and jump around, as it always does
upon the approach of n human being.
