LET US HOPE so,
Strike Commission Takes An
Adjournment to Dec. 3
To Allow Miners and Operators to
Patch UpIheir Differences.
Predicted that Commissioners Work Is
Now About Over.

Scranton, Nov. 23.-The anthracite
coal strike commission adjourned.
Saturday, to meet, Dec. 3, and it is
hoped that when the arbitrator again
meet an agreement on all the points
in dispute will be ready for submission
to and approval by the commissioners.
Attorneys on both sides express the
opinion that an amicable adjustment
will be reached and predict that the
commissioners will make only one
more trip to this city.
Before adjourning sub or .concil-
iation" committee was appointed in or
der that the wishes of the commission
be officially voiced with regard to any
matter that might arise in the interval.
The commissioners want it under
stood that they have the last say in
the adjustment of the differences:
that they will carry the full RESPONSE
bility for whatever award, if any, they
may make, and that whatever is
agreed upon must have their full APP
prevail before the agreement can be
put in operation.
The committee. which is made up of
Commissioners Watkins. Parker and
Clark, this afternoon called into con-
ference as many attorneys representing
all the parties before the commission
as could be gathered on short notice,
and stated to them the attitude of the
commission.

After the meeting the following
statement was given out:
Scranton. Penn, Nov. %. 1902.
1T appears that there is some mis-
understanding, or some lack of under
standing, in connection with the recess
taken by the commission, and the sug-
gestion in that connection that possibly
the contestants might be able to agree
upon some Of the important points in
volved.
The recess was desired by counsel
for both sides because authoritative
statements of hours and wages which
are being prepared are not as yet
ready.
THE suggestion was made that per-
haps some agreement might be reached
between the principals which would
simplify the problem and assist in
reaching proper conclusions.
'"Fhe chairman, speaking for the conf
mission, stated that the commission
would gladly cooperate, as far as
could consistently be done. in further
ing an effort to reach an understanding
through conciliatory means and meth
DDS.
The idea has gone out in some quar-
tiers that the matter is to be settled
without further effort or responsibility
or the part of the commission. This
idea is entirely wrong. The commits
sion, will as announced, cheerfully en-
courage conciliatory spirit and action,
between the parties to the controversy,
but the commission has not surrender
cd and will not surrender jurisdiction
of any of the matters which have been
referred to it. nor responsibility for
the conclusion reached.
mo adjustment can be made which
does not, by it's terms, commend itself
strongly enough to secure the approval
OF the commission and it's incorporation
IN the awards.
with "a view and for the purpose of
removing any misunderstanding which
might exist, the subcommittee of the
commission invited such of the counsel
representing the several interests in
volved as could be reached to meet,
Saturday afternoon"
The proposed settlement of the strug-
gle between the anthracite mine owners
and their employees by mutual agree
nent, the terms of which were sent to
New York FOR the consideration of the
anthracite railroad presidents and the
independent operators. is as follows:
"A 10 per cent. increase in the ray of
miners working by contract ,or piece:
al coal to be weighed.
An increase of per cent. in the
wages OF men working by the day; a
DAY to consist of nine instead of 10
hours.
~ reduction of the length of the
working day for bremen. engineers and
punpmen from II to 8 hours.
"A trade agreement providing for the
adjustment of future differences. in
which the function of the union will be
directly or Indirectly recognized
No settlement can be made that does
not admit the right of the miners to
present their grievances and make
their agreements through their or
ganiZation.
There is not the slightest truth in the
statement that the coal operators have
surrendered or that their present atti-
tude is due to fear that a continued in
vestiGation by the arbitration commits
sion right disclose deadly inforuia ton
respecting their earnings or their
methods OF doing business. Neither
MIR. Mitchell nor any other of the re-
sponsible officials of the Miners Union
believes that.

Live Nebraska Towns
Seward -Prosperous and Progressive.

Seward, with a population Of 1850, ls sit.
uated on the east and north OF the Blue
river. with Plum creek to the east. with a
fine natural park Of thirty acres, purchased
two years ago and improved at a cost Of
over $4,000, furnishing delightful shade and
boating, which makes a popular resort for
picnics.
With beautiful groves on three sides and
a level divide to the north makes one OF
the most desirable residence towns in the
state.
The city has never been doomed and and
Its growth has been steady since 1858. when
the town was first laid out. In residence
property there are over twenty-five costing
from 1900 TO s13. 900. while dwelling cost
ing from $4,000 to 5000 are in nearly every
desirable block.
A large portion OF the population are
Germans and there is a German college
situated in the northeast part Of the city
which causes a good demand for acre prop
erty by wealthy Germans who wish to ed
ucate their children. The High school has
very efficient teachers and a large number
Of students from outside the city are in at

OF religious organizations there are the
Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Congre-
sational, Catholic, United Brethren, Chris

As roNArIuNAL CREDIT.

The floating of the new British war
loan Of $16O,OOO,OO0 invites attention to
the difference between British and
American credit. The loan was sub
scrlbed many times over, showing that
the wealth of the United Kingdom is
still great and that there Is no lack of
public confidence in the government,
but the price obtained for the new is
sue of securities and the rate of In
terest make an interesting contrast with
recent and present conditions in gov
eminent finances in the United States.
The British bonds are to pay interest
at 2% per cent until after next year,
when the rate will be 3h per cent. The
price obtained for them was 1914. The
bonds Of the United States bearing IN
terest at 2 per cent are quoted steadily
above 100, last Saturdays quotation
being 1O9% and undoubtedly a very
large amount Of them, much larger than
the new British loan, might be sold
above par.
1T is not long, remarks the Cleve-
land Leader, "since Americans who
watched with eager pride the gradual
rise In their country's credit, al meas
ured by the price for its bonds, used
to wonder whether the United States
would reach the level of the United
Kingdom In this respect in the time
OF the present generation. Now, equal
ity has long since passed away, leaving
the young republic far in advance of
the ancient kingdom. This is one OF the
proudest facts Of American progress,
from the point of view Of all who know
how vital. a thing the credit of a nation
is and how directly 1t Affects its char
acter and it's prosperity" The fact that
our national credit is higher than that
OF any other nation is in large measure
due TO the wise and honorable financial
policy of the republican party, which
has at all times looked TO the mainte'
nance Of q sound monetary system and
the prompt payment OF the public debt.
The strict observance Of this policy has
created the conditions which are the
basis Of national credit.

GOOD ADVICE TO ASSESSORS.

The printed instructions Of the clerk
of York county to the township assess
ors are suggestive as well as instruct
i've. 1T has been my experience" says
Clerk Boslaw, that the average assessor
does not fully realize the Importance
OF the position to which he has been
called.
You are occupying a position which in
certain respects clothes you with greater
power and authority han is occupied by
our courts, for on you rests the care
and responsibility of the proper carry
ing out and enforcement OF the revenue
laws. Any error made in the assess
ment Of property is an eFro that eal-

two freight trains daily.
Farm land in the vicinity Of Seward sells
readily at $50 per acre and the most desira-
BILE property is held at $50 and SOS per acre,
and with good crops this year prices will
advance $40 per acre. During the month of
February OF this year there were 5,227 acres
of land sold in this county, the considera-
ton being S199, 451, averaging 1887 per
acre. During March there were 1927 acres
sold, the consideration being S266. 400. or
SSs.46 per acre.
Seward would be a good point for a small
mandatory, since there Is an abundance
OF water and good railroad facilities. and a
proposition along that line would receive
support from the business men.

NEBRASKA is ALL RIGHT.

Kearney Hub: Nothing short Of divine
wrath can beat the Nebraska wheat crop.
North Nebraska Eagle: The steady de-
mand for farm lands in Nebraska and Iowa
and the whole corn belt region shows nc
signs of let up. The man who has a good
Nebraska farm has an asset of constantly
increasing value on which a sight draft can
be made any time.
Fremont Tribune: Agricultural reports
show that Nebraska's winter wheat is in
excellent condition. that 1t stands at the
highest per ceRt. This fact, taken In con-
nection with the other that the acreage has
been largely increased, makes the prospect
for wheat growers in Nebraska very en-
couraging. With a perfect condition at
this season Of the year there is almost a
certainty of a bumper yield. II 1t gets
through the winter without danger the
weather Of spring and early summer is
very sure to be of such favorable character
as to mature 1t properly. Winter is the
critical period. 1t is not too much to pre-
dict that Nebraska will this year produce
60, 00O. 900 bushels.
Alliance Times: II additional evidence OF
prosperity is desired 1t can be seen In the
quarterly report Of the State Banking
Board Just made public. The total amount
on deposit in the 453 state banks in Ne
braska for the quarter just ended was $34,-
600, 900, an increase Of $4,000, 900 in three
months. The deposits in the national banks
Of the state for this period increased ST.
500, 900. The amount on deposit in the state
banks for the last quarter Of 1896, which,
by the way, was the close of the last Cleve-
land administration, was $40, go, 900. An

small as compared with the growth and in

showing will Nebraska again vote to return
to wallow in the mire of democratic de-
s~pondency? Well, we rather guess not.
North Platte Tribune: DR.. II. s. Ferrar,
resident manager of the Grand Island sugar
factory, spent part Of yesterday in town
and made this once q brief call. The doctor
Informed us that the total acreage OF sugar
beets contracted for in Lincoln county now
exceeds 1000 acres, and that there will be
about $50 more acres contracted for within
the next ten days. The total acreage in the
Maxwe section is now 500, the other 500
acres being principally In the neighborhood
OF Hershey and sutherland. Lincoln county,
with an average season, will furnish one
fourth OF all the beets used at the Grand
Island factory. II this season should prove as
favorable for sugar beets as was last season,
the value of the crop will reach SIS, 200, which
is by no means a small sun. A successful
crop this year means a doubled or tripIed
acreage next year. Last year there were
but eighty-fve acres planted in the Max
well section; this year the increase is 600
per cent.

sion seems to be the cardinal sin Of an
assessor.
"Do not discriminate unjustly. The
merchant. the banker. the lawyer, or
the man Of leisure. have no rights that
lnure them to the detriment Of the
farmer and the laborer. On the other
hand, the farmer and the labOrer should
not expect an extension Of any special
favors which would be detrimental to
the interests of the tradesman or pro-
fesslonal man. DO not assess one for
the position he occupies. but for the
property you find he has on hand.
1.-THE law governing the assessment of
property specifically provides that all
property shall be assessed at its cash
value and action could be brought
against every assessor who violates
these provisions and his oath of office
by returning property otherwise than at
its cash value. If, however, you are de-
termined to follow a precedent estab-
llshed by long use Of abuse In this par
%ticular, in violating the law, l would
suggest that you do so more syste-
matically."
This advice would apply with equal
force TO assessors In Douglas county as
1t does to those in York or any other
section Of the state. 1t may be taken
for granted that the assessors will con-
tinue to violate the law this year as
they have for years past. 1t is, there
fore, to be hoped that they will violate
1t Systematically, rather than by spurts
and freaks.
