OIL 1T los.

That the people may derive a
benefit from this meeting depends
largely upon themselves. They
must see to it that right and proper
men are sent to Harrisburg to vote
upon this request-that the law
be repealed whereby railroads are
exempt from paying taxes" Now
reader you will join with us that the
nominees of the two leading parties
of Sullivan county are quite different
ly situated upon this question. One
a railroad conductor and the other n
farmer. Mr.. Lull the conductor and
Mr.. Huckell the farmer. Which
one of these two will you
trust to cast the vote :? The mo-
nopolies or the railroad men went
to much expense and elected ma
jority of the Members at the time
this law went into affect permitting
the railroads to 60 untaxed. Have
we not good reason to suppose that
they will 60 to the same trouble to
prevent this law from being repeal
ed Gentlemen farmer you have a
majority of votes, hence, this very
important question is lett with you.
Elect Lull and the railroads will 90
scott free of tax. Elect Huckell and
we will guarantee that Sullivan
county will do her part to repeal
this act and in the future in addition
TO the four or five hundred dollars
levyed by the county the several
townships and boroughs through
which this great monopoly passes,
will derive us much more tax for
school and road purposes. Party
principles should not be observed at
this election, SO far as it relates to
Member, but We should consider the
matter and vote the nominee in of.
flee who will be of the greatest good
to our people. We sincerely ask
that the reading public study these
questions and vote in accordance
with their convictions OF conscious
and not party principles.

es were in order. Hon. Jerome B.
Niles was the first gentleman called
upon and he delivered an eloquent
address, bordering on the duties of
the commissioners and the pleasant
time enjoyed on the excursion. One
fellow, we think from Beaver coun-
ty and a Republican, wanted to
draw politics in, but he was quietly
set down upon. Several other at
torneys on board entertained the
excursionists. We reached Pitts
burg at about $3.50 when the entire
party extended thanks to the people
of Allegheny county for the pleas
ant time enjoyed.
A large delegation of Commits
sioners including the Sullivan coun-
ty representatives left Pittsburg
homeward bound at $40 A. NJ. Fri
day and while passing through
Johnstown, we were explained the
course and the result of the great
food of 'S9. We passed over the
railroad bridge where the great pile
of debris took fire and so many
people were burned and drowned.
Since this great calamity however,
the town has been rebuilt and we
were informed that it presents a
much nicer appearance now than be-
fore the flood, hence there were no
marks of interest in her borders.
We reached Williamsport at $50
Friday evening and home Saturday
noon. The trip was pleasant one
and we sincerely hope that the re-
suit of the convention will prove
benefit to the people.

able mills and other property now
exempt from taxation. Ex-Auditor
General, Jerome B. Niles of Tioga
county presented this resolution and
defined it's object. 1t was carried
with a hurrah. Mr.. Niles was made
chairman of the committee who will
see to it that these resolutions are
properly brought before the legisla-
ture this winter, and all can depend
upon it that he will leave no stone
unturned that will assist to bring
good results to the greater number
of people. Should this be accom>
plished no person will dispute, but
that the commissioners convention
will have accomplished much good
for the people, inasmuch as it will
reduce the tax of the laboring class
and the farmer.
For instance observe the tax that
Sullivan county would derive. With
the W. &. N. B. completed to
Dohm's Summit, would extend in
our county about 30 miles then. there
is the L. V. which would figure at
least 80 miles if not more, making a
total of 60 miles of railroad in our
midst. Now according to the as
sessments of railroads in New York
state we can safely count on four
hundred and fifty dollars county
tax derived from this enterprise in
little Sullivan. Who of our tax
payers would not be pleased with
this assessment ?

after voting Wilkes Barre the next

place of meeting, adjourned.
During the afternoon of Thursday
the commissioner at the request OF
the Pittsburg Bridge Co., took an
excursion to Braddon which is about
one-forth of a mile above Home
stead. The trip was made on a
steam boat and the occasion WAS en-
livened by the presence of brass
band. We passed the wharf at Home
stead on which the strikers stood at
the time of the recent riot, but
owing to the fact that the trouble is
not yet over, the captain of our
boat refused to land fearing that the
still angry workmen might surmise
places and give us black eye or
two. We all agreed with him and
willing passed it by. "Little Bill"
the steamer that CARED the Pinker-
tons from Pittsburg to Homestead
at the time of the riot and which
was so badly demolished in she
fight was steaming near the wharf.
1t was q badly wrecked concern.
The cabin was broken in and chared
with fire and her sides and plat
forms smashed down. 1t surely had
the appearance of boat just re-
turning from war.
On reaching Braddon we were
shown through the great steel works
owned by Carnegie as is also Home
stead. This was fine sight to
many Of us. The elevator was car
rying car loads of iron ore to the
top of the building where it was
thrown into the red hot vats and
come out in liquid form and was
being moulded into bars of steel.
The hum of industry at Braddon is
immense and one could hardly think
that man could become the owner
of such plant in one life time, The
concern covers hundreds of acres of
land aud We should judge that the
one at Homestead is at least three
times as large and perhaps larger.
At $40 p. NJ. the captain blew the
whistle of the boat and the band
struck up "Hail Columbia" which
was the signal that it was time to
start on our return trip. 1t took
some little time for US all to get
aboard as there were some five or
six hundred people on the excur-
sion. On the return trip and while
passing by Homestead the
captain steamed his boat very slow,
hence we got "a good look al the
seat of war. On the banks of the
river stood hundreds of men who
we presume were strikers and rod
or two farther back from the shore
were the great heaps of iron from
which the strikers secured their
weapons (or part of them) TO do
their massacreaing in the bloody
battle. Back of this were the great
industries which were steaming and
putting and surely had the appear
ance Of full force Of men. On the
hill is located the beautiful village
of Homestead. 1t is a pretty town,
the buildings are handsomely paint
cd and the streets are nicely laid
out which shows enterprise, tidy
and pleasant disposition OF men and
one could hardly believe that SO ignor-
ant people could reside in her midst
as some have proven themselves TO
be. On what is known as the Poor
Farm near the out skirts of the
village, is pitched the soldiers tents
This farm was recently purchased
by Mr.. Carnegie ut three thousand
dollars per acre. We were loo far
off to observe the doings of the
soldiers, but were informed that
there ara parts of two regiments
numbering about six handred boys
In blue, on duty.
From this point homeward speech.
