declares that protection Is u%nconstitu-

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 3.-The thirty.

laborcrs were induced to be present.
On the stage were President Wcihe,
Vice President John Pierce and Orator
Jere D~augherty, of the A~malgamated
association, each of whom addressed
the assemblagc in turn.
An important feature of the meeting
was the report of n committee which
went through the mill. A committee
OF eight Amalgamated association men
ut noon called upon Superintendent
Potter and told him how they
would like to see il the mill was
really being operated as was claimed
by the firm. They stated that they
would report at the meeting. The COM
mittee really did not think the manage
ment would entertain its request, but
Mr.. Potter cheerfully agreed to take
four members through the mill and he
did. The committee reported that tho
firm had a large number of men
working and q few experienced
rollers who turned out two or
three plates n day. The great
number of men were, however, unskilled
and useless. The committee found no
cause for encouragement The report
was really n surprise to the men who
would not accept press statements. The
Amalgamated officials rallied them i'm.
mediately, however, and the meeting
adjourned with unanimous sentiment
In favor of %prOlOnging the struggle.

BURLINGTON, N. j., June 23.-The
fifth annual reunion of the thirty-sev-

Association, was held at the residence
of General E. Burd Grubb, at Edge

Assessors at Work.

The local assessors have their little
books tucked under their arms and are
going about town putting a valuation
upon the property of the city. In
some places there has been an in
creased valuation upon the city pro-
perty, and of course there follows a
feeling of discomfort. Speaking of
taxes yesterday afternoon, City
Councilman said that 10 his opinion
before taxes were lower, they would
be considerable higher. There is no
need for such fear upon the part of
anyone if the assessors do 'their duty.
Let everybody, rich alike with the
poor, pay an honest assessment and
there will be much lower tax rate.
Here is an instance. Two livery
stables, both on the same street. One
is rented for 5000 per year, and has
been assessed as worth $4,000. Another
has been rented for $500 per year, and
the valuation ascribed by the assessor
is $1,000. Let there be more equality
and there will be much more satisfac-
tion.

The state Rum Mill.

The Camden Courier thus speaks of
the action of Governor Albeit in IL
censing rum mills in Hunterdon
county:
Governor Abbott continues to
spread the rum mill over the State.
The city of Lambertville, in the Dem
ocratic county of Hunterdon, in April
last voted to grant no license to sa-
looms, and all the bars were closed
June 1st. In response to the whiskey
element of the town Governor Albeit
has just appointed County Board
OF Excise Commissioners, which met
on Wednesday and granted number
OF licenses in defiance of the popular
will. The citizens of Lambertville are
highly indignant over the action of
the Governor in saddling saloons upon
them when they had declared they did
not want them. How strong this in
dignation Is, and how long it will last,
Will be made clear at the November
election when the people come to vote
Tor Governor and members of the
Legislature. Albeit, of course, will
expect to capture both of the Hunter
don Assemblymen, but If they have
any respect for decency and morality,
the people will chose men to frame
laws consistent with their views on
home rule and not men to help the
Aobettocracy and rumocracy."
