THE Republican Assessors are usin g
every means within their power to dis.
franchise Democrats. They are sitting
in obscure and inconvenient places in
their districts to hear appeals, and are
acting in manner generally unprinci-
pied. These means may have been
employed by other assessors of differ
ent political faith, but that does not
make it right. The time has about
passed for this kind of work in this
State. There are people who are think
ing for themselves and no party can
bind them to policy which is known
to be wrong. There can be no doubt
Of the fact, in the mind of any sane
man, that ignorance and a depraved
character do not belong to the properly
qualified voter, but when the law gives
TO such man the right to vote that
right must be respected such voter
is not a credit to the community and
is menace to the welfare of the State,
but that does not make the non-com-
pliance with the law excusable in any
public officer. The reported conduct
of the Republican assessor for New
Castle hundred is culpable in the high
est degree and by his misconduct he
has proven the fact that the office of
assessor should be filed by man who
is honest and above reproach. We are
aware of the fact that other men have
done likewise but the days of rotten
political methods are numbered and no |
man should refuse to condemn such !
scts, practised by any political party.

Carnegie's Consistency.

While every fair-minded mau will
confess the strikers at Carnegie's steel
works at Homestead are in the wrong
in taking possession of property which
does not belong TO them, in prohibiting
the Company from hiring n~on.union
men and in prohibiting those men from
working, yet Mr., Carnegie will receive
little sympathy. A point on his con-
s%istency will be interesting just at this
time.
Last December Mr.. Carnegie gave
the annual address TO the graduates of
Pierce's Business College, Philadelphia,
and in it be gave the following excel.
lent advice:

rocks ahead which | think you must
avoid il you succeed, First, Never en-
ter a bar,roOm. Do not drink liquor as
a beverage. l shall not paint the evil
of drunkenness, or the moral crime, but
l suggest to you that it is low, common.
10 enter a bar.room unworthy of a
graduate of Pierce College"
This is the same man who a short
time after sent President Harrison a
barrel of Scotch whiskey and the Presi.
dent expressed his cordial sympathy for
Nj. Carnegie and temperance by &C
cepting it. AS the President is a good
man he possibly used it topreserve bugs

Cyrus W. Field, n of the most not
ed men Of the past generation, died 10
New York on Tuesday aged 81 years.
After a common school education he
became a clerk in A. I. Stewards store at
the age of fifteen at a salary Of $50 for
the first year. His active, shrew, cum
ming commercial abilities had saved
enough money by the time he was Il TO
90 into business for himself. BY the
time he was So he had amassed a for
tune of $3.50 600 and retired from basi'
ness in 1853. The greatest act OF his
life and the crowning success for which
he became famous the world over was
the successful laying Of the Atlantic
Gable, which brought the old and new
worlds into speaking distance. After
spending thirteen years and several
hundred thousand dollars two cables
were completed in July 1867 both OF
which are in operation to-day. The
first cable broke in mid-ocean but Mr..
Fields perseverance accomplished one
of the most famous acts since the wal
in science and his labors were rewarded
by millions of dollars.

The riotiug at C%arnegie's Homestead
iron works has attracted world wide at
tention and discussions on the rights OF
property owners and organized labor.
The lockout of $500 workmen was be-
cause their association would not ap.
prove of a reduction Of wages for
about 325 which was claimed should be
done because of the introduction OF
new machinery which allowed the men
to earn more than was paid elsewhere.
The seizing of the mills by the work
men was unlawful as was their firing
on the Pinkerton's. Surely the Carne-
gle company had a right to hire Pin.
k~erton's as watchmen yet their unlaw-
full act consisted in trying to capture
the mills by force. The trouble OF
rioting can be laid On the ~paltroonery
of the Sheriff, for had he acted prompt
ly blood shed might have been avoided
as the calling out of the State militia
by Gov. Pattison has quoted matters.
The strikers are wrong in threatening
non.union laborer from working. AS
Manager Fricke says there must be a
reduction or a loss in running the mills
it is clear the workmen must loose in
the end. Tie idea of a %paternal gov
eminent enters into the controversy in
directly only from the fact that the
wages are rated at the price of steel bill
lets, the price Of which is somewhat
regulated by the tariff on them. AS
this country has the highest tariff the
plea that it is for the workmen's bene-
fit comes in against any reduction caus-
ed by competition and improved ma
chinery. True, Carnegie has grown
rich, but it is mainly because Of his own
superior brains. His workmen also
lave a chance 10 get rich for these who
have struck earned from So to S12 aday
and there are thousands who have to
live on less than their lowest wages
Tie end will most likely be unfayorable
to the rash and foolish workmen as
some are already needing food. Both
SIDE are in the wrong but the workmen

self nor family as he has very politely
requested his wife's name not to De used

be aroused by having these interesting

Judge Lippincott is gaining thefavor
of all honest Democrats by the way he
Is pushing the trials Of prosecuting the
punishment of the Jersey City ballot
box suffers of 80. Of the 6fty-six elec-
ton officers indicted for alleged frauds
at the general election in November,
1889, twenty eight (seven election
boards have been tried. convicted and
sentenced to prison fol terms ranging
from six mouths to eighteen months.
Pending the appeals to the Court of En-
rors and Appeals, the decision of which
was rendered June %, confirming the
Judgment of the lower court, twenty
eight have remained untried. For the
first time in years the Hudson County
Court will he In session during July
and August 10 try the remaining batch
of culpfits. On Monday Judge Lip
pincott began their trial by allowing
struck juries which will soon land them
in prison.
Judge Lippincott's course is IN glow
ing contrast to the Camden County
Court, which has Unexpectedly forfeit
ed popular esteem in putting off the
trial Of W. j. Thompson on a petty plea
until October after the case was call
ed.op a special day. Law and Order peo-
pie and public morality has been insult
ed for three years only to be continued
until fall. The action of Judge Lip
pincott shows there is plenty of law to
suppress these criminals and that what
is needed is men of principle, grit and
courage to enforce it. The sober NOR
al sentiment of the people Is pondering
as to whether new officials are not need
ed 10 enforce the laws.
