The Kickers Told That All Arc Now in the
Same Boat.
The County Commissioners as the Board
of Revision yesterday heard appeals from
the assessments made in Coraopolis, Sharps
burg, Knoxville and Bellevue boroughs
The largest number or appeals were re
ceived from Coraopolis borough, where q
large increase had been made. The assessors
had made a raise of 172 l-l0 per cent over the
former valuation, to which the Board of Re
vision had added 20 per cent more, total in
crease of 1872 lilo per cent. Most of the appel.
lants were satisfied, however, when they
learned that their valuations were only on a
par with other districts and that the assess
ment had been equalized.
From the other three boroughs heard but
few appeals were presented. In Bellevue
borough the assessors had added "a per cent,
and the Board of Revision added leo per
cent more, a total increase of Il per cent.
In Knoxville borough the assessors raised
81 40 per cent and the board added % per
cent. The assessors of Sharpsburg borough
made an increase of Is 2-5 per cent. Moth
ing was added to this, as it was considered

Gradual Work Again Recommended.


1t is assumed that none of the reforms in
the tariff which it is proposed to embody in
separate bills can receive the sapction of
the senate and Executive and become en-
actments. This do mot regard as altogether
certain. Bus suppose the assumption is to
be fully warranted by experience, and chat
in the coming Presidential contest the peo-
pie indorse by their votes the action of the
HoIsc. Then, i'll the next Congress or the
next session of the Fifty-Second Congress,
it wnuld be wise to renewedly present the
detailed measures in question rather than a
general bill: for, in face of decided ratifica-
Ti0n of them by the people. it would be
difficult to see how they could be rejected.
AND If accepted, even in part, the future
work Of reforming the tariff, either by
cOmnarat lively easy, for every interest

plumber the public would follow the
example of the quinine manufacturers
when this commodity was put on the free
list and became ardent tariff reformers;
suggesting the fable OF the old fox who,
when he had lost his tail in trap was most
anxious for general considerations that all
the other foxes should have their tails cut
of.
such are some of the reasons which induce
me to prefer and recommend the attacking
of our existing tariff system in detail or by
what l have termed the tentative method
rather than by general bill, which involves
q contest all along the line and in respect to
every particular, both of tax and admins

sIoKuEs PRAISES HARRISON,
As a Bravo Soldier Who Didn't Send n Sub

As a Brave Soldier Who'll Didn't Send n Sub
stitute to the Front
WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept, 23.-It is
evident that General sloeum and Cen
eral Dan sickles, of New York, are not
following Senator Hill into camp. Cen
eral slocum, it will be remembered, de-
clared at the Chicago convention that
Mr.. Cleveland could not carry the SOL
der vote of New York. General Sickles
was equally bitter in his denunciatiop
OF Mr.. Cleveland. At regimental re-
union, the two New York veterans
took occasion to air their hostility
to Mr.. Cleveland. General sickles was
particularly Vindictive. While he did
not mention Mr.. Cleveland's name, the
inference was plain. 81 know President
Harrison" said General Sickles. "He
was brave soldier. Ben Harrison sent
no substitute to the front. He went
himself and did some effective fighting.
have personal knowledge OF his
bravery on several occasions"
THESE remarks coming from the lips
OF Democrat, caused a sensation. It
is freely predicted here that General
Sickles, whom Governor Hill appointed
sheriff in place of the deposed Flack,
will be found opposing Cleveland in
December.
