that indignation mass meetings be held
throughout the entire country to give
expression to the condemnation of the
unwarranted injunction in interfering
with the free rights of free assemblage
and free speech, and we also extend
sympathy and support to the mine
workers to the utmost extent.
1--WE hereby call upon each national
and international organization of labor
to send representatives to act for and
by the direction of the United Mine
Workers as organizers in West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and such other states as
may be necessary. We call upon the
workingmen Of our country to lend all
possible assistance to our suffering,
struggling fellow workers of the mines
and to unite in defense of our homes,
our rights, our citizenship and our
country"
The conference adjourned at mid
night. 1t was decided that President
Gompers should act as a committee OF

meetings all over the country Aug. 8.

The Conference.
PITTsBURG, July 28 = Eighty-nine
coal companies mines located in the
Pittsburg district were represented at
the coal operators uniformity meeting
here yesterday. The operators who
ship by river and those owning mines
in the Westmoreland field were not
present. The river operators held q
meeting at the Coal exchange in the af-
ternoon and decided to take no part in
the uniformity movement. No atten.
ton was paid to the call by the West.
moreland people. Very little was ac-
complished at the two sessions.
The old uniformity agreement with
the new clause inserted was reported on
by committee and the meeting today
will take up the agreement by clauses
for discussion. Where changes in the
condition since 1886 warrant different
provisions committees will be appointed
to draw up clauses that will cover the
points at issue. The only sensational
incident of che sessions occurred when
Colonel w. P. Rend presented minor
ity report on the uniformity agreement,
denouncing the procedure Of the meet

Judge NJ. w. Acheson, of the United
States circuit court, handed down an
opinion at Pittsburg Thursday morning
declaring the alien tax law unconstitu-
tional The decision was made in the
test suit Of John Frazer, an English
subject, In making his ruling, Judge
Acheson said in part
"As the employer is authorized by the
act to deduct from the wages of the en-
ploye the prescribed tax, it is quite clear
that the tax is upon the employe and
not upon the employer. The court is
here called upon to consider whether
these provisions of this act of assembly
are in conflict with the constitution and
laws of the United States.
"The fourteenth amendment, in de-
claring that no state shall deprive any
person of life, liberty or property, with
out due process Of law, nor deny to any
person within its Jurisdiction the equal
protection OF the laws, undoubtedly in
tended not only that there should be no
arbitrary Spoliation OF property, but
that equal protection and security
should be given to all under like circum-
stances.
"There can be no doubt that the four
teenth amendment embraces the case Of
the present plaintiff, who, since about
April 81, 1893 has been resident of
the state, and whose right to reside
within the United States is secured to
him by treaty between the United States
and Great Britain. Can the tax laid by
the Pennsylvania act Of June Is, 1897,
be sustained consistently with the princ-
pie enunciated by the supreme conrt of
the United States in the cases which

FREELAND, PA, AUGUST 30, 1897.


From the Philadelphia Press.
We are informed by the Pottsvlle
Republican that the Republican conven-
tion of SchuylkiIl county not only en-
dorsed Judge Bcchtel for recollection,
but formally nominated him exactly as
it did other candidates on the ticket.
Some of the news reports at that time
of the convention left this matter rather
uncertain, but it has been made very
plain by our contemporary.
Judge Bechtcl has now been nominat-
ed by both the Republicans and the
Democrats in regular convention, and
as matter of course his nomination
will be certified to the state department
by each party. As recent amendments
to the ballot act declare that name
shall go on the ballot only once by
certificate of nominations, it will be
rather interesting to see which party
is going to suffer the brushing aside of
its regularly nominated candidate for
judge under the ridiculous provision.
We presume the first guess at this rests
with the state department, but we guess
that the last guess will be made by the
courts.
If this provision OF the amendments
made 'to cure all the defects in the bal
lot law" can he enforced, then one party
in Schuylkill will have no candidate for
judge, although one has been nominat-
ed. All this was done in an effort to
prevent the enactment of amendments
which would have made the ballot com
pact and convenient, upon which the
names of all candidates could appear
with their proper party designations
whether nominated by one party or half
dozen parties.
Nothing more outrageous has recently
happened, and it will be good thing if
the complications arising in Schuylkill
serve to bring the question before the
courts for an early opinion. Naturally
that will happen if the certificate of
Judge Bechtel's nomination by the Re
publcans should be first filed Under
such circumstances the name of Judge
Bechtol would be left off the ticket, and
as he is a Democrat his party would not
be likely to let the matter rest there
They would want the court to determine
whether they have right to put the
name of their regularly nominated can
dldate on the official ballot or not.

And she FASTENED into the presence

@i'm.
YOU'RE too late to witness the cere-
mony," chuckled the quondam old
bachelor. We're married"
'Who are married2" shrieked Mrs.
Purvey, growing pallid under her rouge.

If evidence were needed to prove that
a majority Of the local assessors in this
county have not complied with the law
an investigation Of their returns for the
past three years would most assuredly
condemn them. In fact, as rule, there
has been no uniformity observed by the
local assessors so far as | can learn in
assessing tax on any kind of property.
If some of them are to be believed it
seems the tax rate has hitherto been
generally fixed by the county commits
sioners regardless of the assessed valua-
tion. Real estate, such as borough lots
and city lots without buildings or i'm
provements, are generally assessed at
about one-fourth the original value
But to show the unequal and unjust
method of assessment on that kind of
property as it stands today may merely
state few facts that have come to my
personal knowledge during the discus
sion of this question.
