'SGREAT ISSUE
Education Bill Discussed by Pre-.
mier Balfour at a Unionist
Demonstration.
He CHARGES MISREPRESENTATION
by Those Who Should Know
and Do Better.

Manchester, Oct. ia notable adj
dition to the controversy over the gov
ernments education bill was made last
night by Premier Balfour, in an ad-
dress he delivered before a mass meet
ing held in connection with the an
nual conference of the National I'm
ion Conservative Constitutional asso-
citation. The premier declared that the
agitation against and the opposition to
the bill Were due to misunderstand-
ings caused by false statements of its
provisions and intentions. Balfour said
the voice of the caluminatOr had been
too long uninterrupted, but that the
country would no longer be hood
winked by the travesties of truth
which had been drunk in by those
from whom better things were TO be
expected.
Why the Disturbance Was Created.
The government had chosen to dis
turb educational peace because the eX-
listing system of education was chaotic
Intellectual and behind the age, making
Great Britain the laughing stock of
other nations, and it was bound. the
premier said, 10 provide secondary pub
lie education and to coordinate all the
branches Of public education under the
control of the bOrOughs and county
councils. If in doing this the govern
ment had given tonic TO the Liberal
party BalfOur did not begrudge it.
Continuing the premier asserted that
Il majority of the people believed re-
ligiOn should be taught in the schools,
bur that It did not agree as TO what
religion, and that the only alternative
was a system permitting denOmina-
tional teaching in schools wholly sup
ported by rates. as we'll as promoting
it in those schools which We're not
wholly so supported. He said that the
claim that representation did not fol-
low taxation was erroneous. since the
real control of the schools was vest
ed. not in the church authorities. but
in the municipal councils and their con-
stituents.

Regarded as Insult to President

Washington. Oct. II. - President
Gompers. of the Federation of Labor,
with whom Mitchell has been in con-
stant communication and consultation.
declined all requests of newspapers for
an expression of opinion on the propo-
sition of the coal operators, but last
night stated his views to the Asso-
ciated Press. GomperS aid: You can
readily understand that L want to leave
this whole matter in the hands of
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues. l am
particularly anxious not to say any
thing that might be construed other
wise. l will say that in my Opinoin
the proposition made by the opera
tors, at least so far as their designa-
ton of who should be invited to go on
the commission of arbitration is con-
cerned. is an insult to the president of
the United States" From which it
will be correctly inferred that Com
pers sees little good in the PROPOSE
ton.

only fair to say that Mr.. Morgan took
an active part in the proceedings, and
his suggestions were most valuable.
The operators realized that matters
had reached the stage where some
body had to give way. As men of COM
mon sense they knew that they could
not freeze the American public
We believe we have been
more than fair in our position. Tn
til we -know-how- it has been received

Washington, ID. C., Oct. 15.-No
statement has been given out at the
White House of the progress of the
conference thus far. 1t is expected
that before any definite announce
ment is made Mitchell will return To
Wilkesbarre to consult with Other
representatives of the miners. 1t is
understood Mitchelrs main objection
to accepting the proposition of the
operators was the limitation placed
upon the president in the matter of
selecting the commission. 1T is con-
sidered likely the proposition will go
back to the operators with the re-
quest that the restrictions be with
drawn in order that the president
may have a free hand in choosing the
commission.

MIGHT TNDICT ASSESSORS.
CONTROLLER CIRCUIT SAYS THEY DIsoBEY
THE LAW UNDER THE PRES
FNT SYSTEM

Controller Grout in referring to full value as
sessments. TO which the city is committed for the
next fiscal year. says that probably every deputy
tax commissioner in the State of New-YOrk could
be indicted and punished for perjury in disobeying
the law under the present methods OF levying as
sessments.
THE statutes bearing the levying Of assess
ments are explicit" said Mr. GrOut. AN unre-
pealed law says that the assessment shall repre-
sent a sum at which a solvent debtor would pay
a bill that ne owed to a creditor in ordinary bust
ness transactions. The suggestion that full value
assessments will warrant the next Tammany ad-
ministration in going beyond bounds is not well
founded"
THE Low administration is criticised for not
cutting down the budget IL suggested.
THE size of The budget and failure To reduce
it largely this year is nothing to be alarmed over.
said Mr. Grout. Indeed it would be a bad sign
il there were no increase in the ctys expenditures,
as II would that the city not expert
encng it's usual rapid growth. The aim of the
administration should be rot to increase the city
expenses faster than its growth warrants The
city is increasing in population at the rate of
about hundred thousand year. That means
that there needed more streets, more lighting.
more sewers, more street sweeping. and a little
raising ability of the city is increased by the erec-
tion of about 500 100000 worth of new buildings
each year. This tax raising ability makes II prac-
ticable for the citys expenditures increase year
by year without adding any unexpected unwaF-
Eanted burden on the taxpayer"

operators have been here for the

Among other matters discussed was
the purpose of the United mine Work
