Most Of the dealers said yesterday that

of them is willing now to sell at this figure
except for delivery from several days to

"Anthracite, Not Analysed" 10 Find the
Percentage OF Fixed Carbon,

Men in the coal trade were interested
yesterday in hearing that Appraiser White
head had returned to Collector Stranahan
a cargo of Welsh coal as anthracite, not
analyzed.'
In the trade Welsh coal has not hereto
fore been considered to be anthracite.
The action of the appraiser is incidental to
the arrival here Of five cargoes Of foreign
coal, all Of which have been entered as free
of duty. The customs authorities In pass
ing them have borne In mind the inst ructions
of the Secretary Of the Treasury that doubts
as 10 the dutiable character OF imported
coal should be resolved In favor Of the i'm
porter during the stringency in coal re-
sulting from the late strike
Under the law coal which gives a test OF
% per cent. Of fixed carbon or over comes
in free, and tho cargoes have been admitted
without duty, the customs authorities
not bothering to make tests.

Opcrators-s.O 900 Men Told TO Quit.
HAzLEToN. Pa. Oct. sO-The strike which
was declared Of by the Wilkes Barre con.
vention last week was continued at the
| collieries Of G. b. Markle d Co.. Coke Bros
h Co.. and j. s. Wentz 4 Co.. in this re.
| gion through an order issued through the
Mine Workers headquarters Of Distric,
| Number 7 this morning. The order affects
seven collieries Of the Coke company, -four
Of the Markles. and two OF the Wentz com.
pany, and more than 5000 men and boys
| are involved.
| The order WAS issued upon instructions
| from President Mitchell at Wilkes Barre
| and includes the fremen, engineers and
pump runners. All mine workers locale
| affected were notified to-day and the men,
bers were ordered to remain away from
| the collieres until further instructions from
| headquarters.
The cause for the new strike order Il
that the Markle employees are required
to sign an agreement binding them to sub.
| init 10 the findings Of the Arbitration Com.
mission. The employees of the other two
firms are required to apply individually
| for their places.
As A. Pardee 4 Co. also require their
| employees to sign an agreement, some
surprise was manifested because that firm
was omitted from the order to strike. Sec.
rotary Gallagher said:
The employees of A. Pardee 4 Co. were
not included in the order for reasons which
we do not care to make public at the pres.
ent time"
Coke Bros. 4 Co. to-day posted the fol.
lowing notice at their collieries:
WARNING. Any man who by in,imida
ton or moral persuasion, attempts TO in
duce employees to leave or join a society,
| or anybody who objects to work with any
| other employee because he does or does
not belong to society will be- discharged.
The operators say that the strike order
will have no effect upon them as they are
determined TO work their collieries indie

The Big stock Show.

There is unusual interest this year in
the International Live Stock Exposition
which opens in Chicago November 10Th,
continuing until December 9th. Ac-
cording to reports from Chicago. the
entries already exceed all previous
affairs of the kind and there is every in
dicati0n that the show will be the great
est ever held in this country. Special
attention is being given to the range
cattle feature and western men are more
than usually interested. The Denver Y
Rio Grande has made an open rate of
one fare plus So for the round trip from
all points on the system. Tickets will
be on sale November Both and Decem-
ber 1st aud I'd; final limit leaving Chi
cago on return. December Sth. A large
number of stockmen have already an
,nounced their determination of visiting
the big show.

But We think it must be evident to
anyone acquainted with political condi-
tions that the opportunity for changing
the tax system once in every four years.
while 1t might not result In actual
changes In many counties Of the state,
would continue to he constant menace
to the stability Of business conditions
and the source of interminable agitation
and political excitement. The present
agitation over the Buckiin bill undoubt-
ediy tends toward political education.
and it is not without its benefits. But
the repetition of such Il campaign once
in every four years is certainly not to
be desired, and the prospect Of such q
thing is one from which every conserva-
tive citizen may we'll pray to be deliv-
cred.
The outright adoption Of the single
tax system by the state uniformly
throughout its territory for n period OF
time long enough to allow general con-
ditions to become thoroughly adjusted
to the new method might well be con-
sidered of less danger to the state than
the passage of this piece Of dangerous
experimental legislation which will
plunge the taxation system of the state
into immeasu cable and endless con-
| fusion.
| It was to prevent exactly this sort of
thing. and to guard against the rank In
justice of tax discrimination. and max
ing one man pay another's taxes as q
matter of class or individual partiality.
that the wise constitutional provision
was adopted which the Bucklin bill now
seeks to destroy. The Bucklin amend
ment permits the counties OF the state
to undertake experiments that are dan
gerous to the rights and interests OF the
people OF the state as whole. 1t is
part of the proper function of the state
constitution to prevent such expert
ments.
The home rule argument, as used by
some of the Buckiin advocates, would
do away with the state constitution alto
getter and make Of the state an inco-
herent mass OF counties and cities. each
running its own affairs independently
of all the rest, and changing the ar
rangement OF them as often as factions
and personal influences might be able to
dictate. This was the condition Of
affairs that existed in the old Greek
cities. and later in the petty municipali-
ties and duchies OF Italy and Germany.
But 1t is not the ideal condition Of the
American republic. nor one that will
commend itself to the intelligence Of
American citizens.

The Issue Of the Bucklin BIN.

Whatever may be the fate of Senator
Bucklin's Australasian tax amendment
before the voters OF the state next Tues
day, it has served as the basis for one OF
the most interesting political debates in
the history OF the state.
On both sides the effort has been TO
convince the voters by means of appeals
to their reason and by the presentation
OF facts, and the debate has been singu
larly free on both sides from appeals to
prejudice, distortion of facts or mlsrep-
resentation of personal motives.
Both those who advocate the adoption
uf this amendment and those who oppose
it believe that they are acting for the
best interests of the people of this state,
and either party would be sincerely
grieved and disappointed if their views
are not indorsed by the people on cleo
tiOn day.
Stated In its simplest form. the propo-
sition of the Bucklin amendment is to
remove the constitutional restriction
which makes the taxation system uni
tulohkuoot huD osfhsSs --'-
uniform for long periods OF time.
The advocates of the Bucklin amend
meDt claim that it is home rule In taxa
ton. This is true. But its opponents
answer that the constitution OF the state
has us one OF its main objects to restrict
the actions OF local communities in
order that uniformity may prevail
throughout the state in matters affect
ing the general welfare of the people.
The Bucklin amendment does not es-
tablisb any particular method of taxa
tion. 1t does permit the people OF the
various counties to modify their taxa
tpn systems independently of each
other bv exempting wholly or in part
personal property Of all kinds, and rais-
ing their taxes by means Of increased
assessments upon land, rights Of way
and franchises in public ways.
1t also permits any county in the state
to change its method of taxation once
in four years, either by way of move
toward or away from the Bucklin tax
system.
1t is urged in behalf of the Bucklin
bill that the experiment would thus be a
gradual one; that at first only q few
counties of the state, possibly not more
than two or three. would modify their
tax system as they are permitted to do;
that If the experiment was failure in
these counties no great harm would re-
suit, and that il it was success, other
counties would gradually fall into line
fc4 its approval.

Tie Defeat ana its Lasae

Iu searching for cause for th1 over.
whelming Republican victory q last

various reasons advanced. u un'
doubtedly true that the result ls rs

cans did not dare to hope for snch vic.
tory in Colorado and were o1Gded
when the returns showed they had Feet
ed almost their entire state ttckl and
two congressman. and were near may

The people did it and they seld6n do
things without reason.
For one thing. the Populists. 3th a
vindictiveness which amounted s5D a
complete abandonment of pttpfaple,
way.
And right here the Pilot pauset n say
that it would rather be as it is in&efea,
after making straight fight than to
have won under another fusion con
glomeration such as. has proven y un'
satisfactory in the past.
In our opinion the Rocky Mountain
News has found tho correct solution OF
the result.
The present state administration, In
the judgment Of the people. has been
miserable and lamentRbie failure.
Democracy was on trial ind had te
stand for the fusion aggregation which
let US be frank. has shown blunderinp
startling in its lack OF
craftsmanship.
1t began with Chipiey and bis pay.
ment of warrants of the Eobber Seventh
a transaction which smacked 80 strong
iy of venslity that in the p,iblic mind il
remains fixed as a clean steal.
This was the first charge placed on
the debit side Of the ledgerby the people
in account with the fusion aggregation
which the Democratic party had to
stand sponsor for.
The Misrepresentation Of tho contin'
gent fund. as exposed BY Governor
Thomas. was another heavy account
and when the state officers, sittang as q
board Of equalization. practicsay nulll.
fed the revenue law which thu degislat-
ure had wisely passed. and abandoned
the people for the corporations, it is
small wonder that defeat cdane; the
wonder is that it was not more sweep
ing.
Let US try to learn lesson 1fom the
result. With the high hand uhfch the
Republicans have even now conlm@nced
to use, there 10 hope for the Ds0ogratie
party. standing on it, ancient IhiAsa piles

eyes to none.
The personnel of the ticket this yeal
was all that could be desired. but the
record on which 1t was compelled to
make its fight has been condemned by
the people.
