Judge Albright, sitting specially
at Mauch Chunck April IL, handed
down decision in the case of the
appeal of the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
cation Company from the assess
ment of their coal lands as revised
by the commissioners. The old as
sessment was $449, ,475. The COM
missioners raised it TO 81, 942, 500 and
the court has fixed it at 81, 1876, 900,
or an increase of 200 per cent. The

will pay into the county treasury
each year $4,000 more than they
have been in the past. The people
of Carbon county are to be congra-
tulated on having such an efficient
board. Its political complexion is
two Republicans and one Democrat
We hear Judge Martins retire
ment from the bench commented on
both by Democrats and Republicans
in one direction only and that is,
that his course judically has been
strictly impartial to men of all poll
tical shades of opinion. Probably
no Sussex county judge has ever
won a more unanimous endorsement
as to his ability and freedom from
bias in the discharge of his duties
than he.-Wantage Recorder.

A RED-HOT CIRCULAR.

Alabama POpulists Wrathy Over Mondays
ElectiOn-FuslOn with Democrats Un-
likely.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 5.-The fol
lowing significant signed statement
was made public this morning by Seq
rotary Frank Baltzall of the populist
campaign committee:
The election last Monday was characterized
by frauds more widespread than any previous
elections and in the BLACK belt In defiance Of
law and contempt OF the opposition, which the
law required to be recognized by from three to
ten representatives at every poll.
The populists are very much exasperated on
account Of wrongs prAeticed upon them and
will not support the Bryan democratic'el electors
They will put out an electoral ticket for Bryan
and Watson. The democrats can take down
their ticket vote that ticket or see 10000 votes
practically lost. II this shall not be done, the
populists will refuse to vote and let the silver
democrats work out their destiny and repent
OF their meanness Self respect, manhood,
and civil liberty are dearer to some
people than free silver or any other politiyai
Issue. Hon. A. n Goodwin made q brilliant
and effective camnaign, visiting nearly everi
county and speaking to the largest audiences
ever accorded speaker In this state. He has
been elected by from $1,000 TO 1900 majority
In the white counties and received about 1000
votes In the "black belt" but these 40,nO0 votes
are counted for Johnston, giving him major
ity of about %, 000

Kansas Democratic Fusion Committee at
Abilene Ready for Conference.
ABILENE, Kan, Aug. 5.-John Mar
tin, W. S. Glass, John II. Atwood, W.
p. billiard and j. D. Johnson, compris:
ing the conference committee appointed
by the democratic state convention
yesterday to arrange basis Of fusion,
arrived at Hutchinson this morning ac-
companied by about 80 other demo-
Gratis from that convention. They can
accomplish nothing definite until after
the populist convention shall have eff
fected n permanent organization
Meanwhile they are discussing the sit
uation with the populist delegates,
They take the position that the wise
course for the friends of free silver to
pursue is for populists to accept the
democratic electors and the democrats
to accept the populist state ticket. II
the populists will not accept such terms,
the democrats will indorse the electors
to be nominated by the populists, but
will put up state ticket composed
wholly of democrats and thus let the
populists fight for the election of their
ticket without the aid of the demo-
cratic voters.

Illinois or Indiana or Ohio Demo-
Gratis of the north and west have not
the least realization of the bitterness
that exists here between their political
brethren and the populists. Under
the most favorable conditions it would
be work of extreme difficulty to patch
up any truce whatever upon any
conditions, und with the strained
relations that now exist, such 4
truce has become impossible. II
is certain that the action OF
the st. Louis convention will not be
Endorsed. If there ever was any pur-
pose to attempt it, it was abandoned
upon the emphatic declaration Of Mr.
Kearby that he would not accept the
nomination for governor if the action
of the St Louis convention should be
Endorsed. He made no secret Of his
wishes in the matter when he an
nounced his purpose to every one who
inquired Had there been no other
consideration, this would alone have
suiliced to cause the immediate aban-
donment of this course.

Wrought Up Over Them.
TROUBLE OVER A SALOON.
Two Factions Take Opposite Sides Over
Llccnse-The Catholic Total Absti-
nence Union of America Con-
vencs at st. Louis.

COLUMBIA, Mo, Aug. ashland, n
small town in the southeastern part of
this county, is all wrought up over
whitecappers. Several citizens of the
town have recently received letters
threatening them with a whipping.
As result Merrick Lindsey, Michael
Swillum ard Sebastian Burnett were
arrested Monday and brought to this
place. They Immediately gave bon Is
for their Appearance Wednesday. The
trouble is over q saloon fight which
has been goin on in the town for sew
eral months. Mike Swillum, one of
the men under arrest, has conducted
saloon in Ashland for several years.
At recent term of the county court
he appeared to have his license re-
newed. Much to his surprise he was
confronted with delegation of citi-
zens from Ashland who had an attorney
to fight the renewal of his license, In
the meantime all the population OF the
little town had taken sides on the
fight. The interest had become in.
tense and numerous fights had occurred
over the saloon question. The United
States will probably take the matter
up and prosecute for violation Of the
postal laws In the meantime Swillum
is preparing another petition for a
license. Ashland is town of about
400 inhabitants in a rich agricultural
section.

sembled to-day. This means that the
democratic presidential candidate must
give to Watson Sewal's place on the

on the populist platform or make up
his mind to the loss of the electoral
vote of this state. Manifestly, Mr..
Bryan cannot accede to these condi.

the plan of action adopted by this con-

district comprising Kansas, O1lahomG
