MINERS WIN A STRIKE.

End of a Long and Costly Labor Struggle
in Pennsylvania.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March 6.-The long
strike of the coal miners of the Monon-
gahela Valley las ended in a complete
victory for the men. This morning the
operators met here and decided to con-
cede the demands of the strikers for an
advance in the mining rate Of
cent per bushel and resume work on
Monday. The strike was one of the
longest and most determined ever
known in this section. 1t lasted ten
weeks, and the 5000 men lost in
wages alone over 100000. The
absence of this great sum of money in
the valley caused great inconvenience
and suffering among not only the min
ers and their families, but the great ma
jority of other persons In the valley de-
pendent directly or indirectly upon the
mining of coal for living. Besides the
miners this strike has affected great
army of day laborers, both yard
and mill men, storekeepers and even
farmers who dispose of thel( produce
to the working people of the valley.
The resumption of work will mean
prosperity and happiness to upward of
% 900 people.

The brusque and fussy i'm
pulse of these days of false
impression would rate down
all as worthless because enc

AS if there were no notes

Because one remedy pro-
fesses to do what it never
was adapted to do, are all
remedies worthless?
Because one doctor lets his
patient die, are all humbugs?
It requires a fine eye and.
a finer brain to discriminate
to draw the differential line.

PARNELL NEEDS MONEY.

An Appeal for Funds to Aid His Home
Rule Project.
DUBLIN, March Gan appeal for
money to form Parnell campaign fund
is issued to-day. The lord mayor of
Dublin, Joseph NJ. Meade. and the high
sheriff of Dublin, James Shanks, are
appointed treasurers of the fund.
The appeal puts Home Rule to the front,
and declares that the industrial deyel-
opment of Ireland and civil and relig-
ious liberty must be an essen
tial part of Irish self-government.
The appeal also says that there
must be no religious domination, as
Ireland has had too much ascendancy to
ever tolerate a Catholic or a Protest
ant government rule under her own

STATE Board Of Equalization.

Through the courtey Of R. L. Hor-
ton, State Controller, we are In re-
ceipt Of copy OF ex-Controller Hal
locks annual report. The subject OF
q State Board OF Equalization he dis
ecusses as follows:
"Caiifornia has such law and it
seems to work we'll. In 1890 its as
sessed valuation Of property per cap
lea was 1923 81, while in our State it
was only 1856 40. This shows the
effect of some influence operating in
California, in assessing property, that
does not prevail here, and it is be-
lieved 10 result from the enforcement
of this law.
"Had Nevada property been assess
ed In 1890 in amount proportionate
to the assessment of California, the
assessment roll for the year would
have amounted TO $40, 1923, l29 81,
instead OF S24, 633, 384 81; and a tax
rate of 54.25 cents on the hundred
dollars would have produced the
same amount as did 80 cent rate.
It cost California about per cent.
for assessing and collecting taxes,
and this State over 9H per cent.
With the same percentage OF cost as
in California, a tax rate of 1.67 cents
could have been substituted for 54.24
cents, and the net result would have
been the same.
To illustrate further: A ranch in
Nevada that In 1890 was assessed at
$4,000, and on which taxes were paid
at rate of 80 cents on the 800
would be assessed in California at
$33, 1875 80, and the tax of 1872 would
have amounted to $3.50 60, or diff
ference of $50 90 in favor of Nevada.
And to produce the $3.50 so Califor-
MIA would have taxed the ranch, would
have required rate of taxation on
the Nevada valuation of the $1f9 8
on the 500 valuation. This must
certainly be a mistake either of the
Controller or printer. Probably
81 1913 was iended.-ED. NEWS
"California's rate of taxation for
the year ending June 80, 1890, was
72.2 CENTS and Nevada's with like valu-
tioDs, Was 54.24 cents, or nearly Is
cents lower on the 500 than Caifor-
MAS; and with the same percentage
of assessing and collecting, it would
have been about 201z tents lower.
"All this is not a bad showing for
Nevada in the way of taxation, but
it shows the need of some mode of
assessment and equalization of val
ues, so that the tax rate can be re-
duced from 90 cents to some figure
that, while producing an equal
amount of revenue, will not seem SO
APPALLING, and that will stop the hue
and cry of our enormous rate of tax
alton, which has been continually
sounded by misguided parties until it
has reached the uttermost bounds of
Christendom, and turned from us all
faverably disposed immigration and
capital.
"The remedy is with the Legisla-
ture, and it is hoped that effective
application will be made by that hon.
able body at its coming session."
