From the Philadelphia Press.
There was considerable talk in finan-
cial circles on Friday in regard to the
retirement of Eckley B. Coke and it was
said the firm of Coke Bros. q Co. was
going to go out of the coal business. 1t
was also stated that the coal mines and
railroad property were to be leased to
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company.
At that company's office the rumor
was emphatically denied, Vice Presi-
dent Hartshorne saying that his COM
pany has not leased the business of the
Coke Bros. nor has any offer been made
for it either by the Lehigh Valley or
Coke Bros. The names of the Pensyl-
vania as well as the New York, Lake
Erie and Western were also mentioned,
but nothing could be verified here.

why Mr.. Coke viii Resign.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Eckley B. Coke was seen on Thursday
evening at the Stratford hotel, where he
is stopping for few days with his wife.
He stated that there was no significance
attached to his contemplated resignation
from the executive position of the COM
panies in which he is interested, beyond
his desire to be relieved of onerous
duties before he might be compelled to
do so by broken health. In resigning as
the president of those companies, Mr..
Coke said that he did not withdraw or
sever his interests in them, but that they
would remain as before and that he
would still continue to have an active
voice in their management.
Mr., Waters, who will succeed him on
December |, is man who, by educa-
ton and practical experience, is in every
way qualified for his new duties.
Mr., Coke was very much amused at
the story that his resignation, following
so closely upon that of Postmaster kis-
ner, of Hazleton, meant that they both
were going to take an active hand in re-
organizing the Democratic party. While
the reorganization of the party is very
necessary thing, Mr.. Coke said, he was
of the opinion that it could only be ac-
complished through the efforts of con-
siderable number of Democrats and not
by one or two men.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, November lG, 1894

Washington, November l6, 1894.
The Republican and Populists who are
trying SO hard to make somebody think
that they believe the Democratic party,
as national organization, is dead, are
merely making themselves ridiculous.
The Democratic party, which, to go no
further back than the memory of every
middle.aged man, made six successive
unsuccessful presidential campaigns
defeated in five at the polls and in one
at the hands of an abortion known as
the electoral COMMISSIONS not killed
by dissensions among a few of its prom
inent members which resulted in stay
at-home vote large enough to defeat it,
On the contrary, that defeat will eventu-
ally make the Democratic party stronger
than ever before, beause it will result in
showing some of the prominent expert
menters that devitations from the estab-
lished principles of the party will not be
tolerated by the voters; that thousands,
yes millions of good Democrats will re-
fuse to endorse any half-and-half princi-
Piles, preferring defeat to compromise
with principles they have been taught
to oppose. The recent election was a
bitter lesson, but the future will prove
that it was a useful one.

No Democrat can possibly regret the
issue of bonds, officially announced this
week by Secretary Carlisle, more than
does President Cleveland and the mem
bers of his cabinet, but in the face of
the necessity for preserving the national
credit, and in the absence of any other
method, owing to the system inherited
from long series of Republican admins
trations, regrets were idle and action
imperative. When a merchant finds his
reditendangered, owing to his receipts
being less than his expenditures, he
cannot afford to waste time in regrets
because those expenditures are largely
the result of eXtravagant contracts made
by his predecessor His credit must be
protected and nothing will do that but
prompt payment of his obligations as
they mature, and to do that he must
have money and it can only be had by
borrowing it on his note. That he does,
trusting to his ability to stop the leaks
in his business and make it profitable in
order to pay it back. That is precisely
the position of the administration in
announcing an issue of bonds.

President Cleveland is not spending
much time at the White House Just now,
because the time is short between this
and the assembling of congress, and his
annual message to congress, which will
be one of the most important to the
country and the Democratic party he has
ever written, requires his entire time,
and he can work undisturbed at his
country residence, something which ex-
perience has shown him he cannot do in
his office at the White House. During
his vacation the president devoted much
time to studying the financial system of
the country, which is generally admitted
to be radically defective, and the result
of that study will be shown in the recon-
mendations of his message to congress.

A striking exhibition of fanaticism
run wild is given by the criticism of Mrs.
Cleveland by members of a Pennsyl-
vania branch of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, because she follow
ed the usual custom and broke bottle
of champagne in christening the steam
ship st. Louis, launched at Philadelphia
last Monday. The criticism is all the
more senseless because Mrs. Cleveland
is a consistent advocate of temperance,
never drinking wine at her own or any
one else's table. In this case she was
an invited guest and had no more to do
with what was to be used at the christen-
ing than a guest would have to do with
what was served on another's table.

An Important Decision.

Judge q. NJ. Cleveland at Rapid City
yesterday appeared before his honor
Judge Gardner in the certiorari pro-
ceedings in the case of l.. $. Ellsworth
against w. w. Smithson as auditor,
and James Bradley as county treasurer.
The nature Of the case was to review
the action of the board Of county COM
m%issioners acting as a board of equal
i~zation, in raising the assessed valuation
of the personal property of plaintiff for
the yea 1898 from S3,444 to $6,444. 1t
valuation Of nearly every stock of mer-
chandise in Hot Springs was raised at
that time, and fully twenty persons
feeling that injustice had been done
them, employed counsel to resist the
payment upon the increased valuation
placed upon their property by the
county board. These parties have no,
attempted to avoid the payment oftheir
taxes upon the valuation as returned by
the assessor, and egualized by the city
board, but upon the increased valuation
as made by the commissioners in 1893
which they claim is unjust and illegal.
The decision in Mr.. Ellsworth's case
is important in all these other cases, fol
it virtually decides them all. Judge
Gardner held, and rendered judgment
accordingly. that the action of the coun
ty commissioners, acting as a board o
equalization, in raising these assessed
valuations was "manifestly e%rroneoui
and void in law, and the same is re
versed, annulled and altogether hel(
for naught."
This decision is a great victory 70
Judge Cleveland who has vigorously
contested these cases from the start
believing that the raise by the boar,
was illegal. In fact, if we recollec. tn
matter rightly, States Attorney kella
at the time informed the commissioner
that they had no power to Il us rails
the valuation. The decision is ais,
likely to affect the real estate valuation
in the city which was raised at the SAM
time Star.
