Some G%reenvilie Church People Deter
mined to Fight Him.
The row among the teachers of the
Greenville Reformed Sunday School is
causing no end of talk in the G~reenvilIe
section. The teachers are indignant be-
cause the naughty" newspapers got
hold OF the story, and refuse to talk to
newspaper men about the matter. Moth
ing will be done by the teachers until the
next monthly meeting when it is expected
that the lively scene OF Wednesday night
will be repeated.
Mr.. Brooke likewise refuses to talk to
reporters, and nothing new eau be
cleaned from him. He refuses to say
what he will do at the next meeting. He
claims that the objection TO his report
was made in order to freeze him put.
1t is rumored hat the ground for the
opposition to Mr.. Brooke is his failure
to take a very active part in church
work. A member of the church when
interviewed by a reporter of THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS last evening. said:-
MIR. Brooke is not a member in good
standing, and for that reason objection is
made to his taking a prominent place in
the Sunday school. Even IL he were
elected the Consistory would not allow
him to accept the position"

Composition in Coal.

The latest news bearing on the coal
question is that the Cresson, Clear
field and New York Shore Line Rail-
road Company has been sold to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which is to take possession on Janu-
airy /. The line is thirty miles long,
and runs from CresseD, Cambria
County, Pa, to Jevonia, Clearfield
County. 1t runs through a rich coal
country andsshas branches extending
to several highly productive mines.
This appears to mean active CON-
petition in the near future with the
Reading system. We have often
prophesied that this would be the
upshot and solution of the difficulty
created by the so-called coal combine.
1t ds simply impossible for any corpor-
alton or syndicate to create a mon
opoly in such a necessary of life as
coal, and it is impossible for it to keep
on charging more than a reasonable
price for it for any length of time.
If So a ton is more than a reasonable
price fer coal, it cannot be exacted for
more than a short period. If it only
affords d moderate and just profit, not
all the composition nor all the law
suits in the world will permanently
establish any lower price. Such things
are governed by an inmutable eco
monte law. 4

All Night Saloon Licenses.
The New York Excise Commission
ers have issued. under a statute now
carried out for the first time, some two
hundred licenses to liquor stores to
keep open all night. This is an ex-
cellent practical step. In a city like
New York, or Jersey. City, there are
very many persons who stay up to far
advanced hours of the night, and
there are others who arise many
hours before the sun. There are not
a few who have to stay up every
night and all night. OF course we
speak not of the dissipated, but of
those who use the night for legitimate
purposes of business and pleasure.
For the accommodation of these, sa-
looms should certainly be allowed to
keep open.
But it is Enthusiastically bad that
there should be general latitude for
all night keeping open. It is unmis-
takably evil that low groggeries and
semi-dives should be allowed such a
privilege. The saloons to keep open
all night should be houses of high re-
spectability in busy centres-houses
which have no police records, which
will not permit all night loaing, and
which will not sell liquor to drunken
men.
The course of New York authorities
in putting a good stiff extra license fee
is the right one. A saloon keeper who
puts up 800 in addition to the
regular license fee is pretty sure to
allow nothing which will cause the
forfeiture of his privileges.

Tax Appeals and Tax Reductions.
Out of about a hundred adjudica-
tions made by the Board of Tax APP
peals last night. only twenty-three
ordered reductions in the valuations
set by the Tax Commissioners, and in
nearly all these cases the reductions
made were trifiing. This result is
honorable to both boards.
Nobody car deny that the Tax
Commissioners made a fair and hon
est effort to assess the property of the
city truly and equitably on an even
basis according to a fixed reasonable
proportion of its market value. They
undertook a colossal task. They went
over the entire city, de novo, and
they spared neither time mol pains to
produce a just and accurate result.
The judgments OF the Revisionary
Board, SO far. amount to a practical
endorsement of their work. The
changes are not only few in number
but are also so small in amount as to
represent little more than the per-
sonal difference in two mems appraisal
of a mercantile value.
The great number of appeals this
year represents merely the habit OF
absurd under valuation which has
prevailed in the past in this city.
Some people think it a kind of out
rage that they have to pay taxes at
all, and when they have to pay them
on something like what they really
own. their anger is not to be assuaged.
There are some Of them willing to
spend five dollars any day to get a
dollar knocked off their tax bills.

pathy in the abuse of Mr.. Peshall,
which some people. of very much note
have sseen At to indulge in. We cam
not see but what his course has been
perfectly right minded throughout
the progress of the Hallinger appeals.
No matter how the judges may decide
the actual law of the case, we regard
the statute in accordance with which
Hallinger was hanged as a dangerous
invasion OF the principle of trial by
jury. We hope the attention called
to 1t by this case will lead to its ap-
peal.

c%ution, he would do all that Mr..
Peshall has done, perhaps more. He
might act with more finesse and dip

the same. There is nothing to blame
a lawyer for. that we can see, for pro-
longing his clients life eighteen

but never hits the vital one. We are
told that the States may establish
any form of law they like SO far as it
is equal to all who live under it. We
all knew that before-or rather, we
knew that they could do SO within
the limits of the Constitution. Here
is the gist of the whole matter. The
Constitution of the Uaited States
and that of the State make the right
of trial by jury ar inherent right of
citizenship. The question is, can a
citizen waive or abrogate such a
right? He cannot waive a duty or a
responsibility laid upon him by the
Constitution. The law stops him at
once If he attempt to do SO. Can he
then dispose of his own rights, espec-
Tally in a case where his life depends
upon it?
