Elliott, who is known as special
champion Of the railway interests
stepped up, and making taunting re-
mark sprung at him, attempting to
knock him in the face. Emery quickly
avoided the blow, and was set upon by
the others. Then followed scene Of
the widest confusion. Nearly one
hundred members of both Houses were
crowded together Eyes were black

In the melee the letters Of Matt. Quay

in the attempt to coerce the
oil delegation, were lost or stolen
This disgraceiul row has been brewing
all day, the "Roosters" gang taking
pains to insult members who in any
way have favored Wolfe's attempted
investigation. Hard feeling has been
growing for some time. Political and
personal feuds have been buried and
the House has divided itself into two
iactions-one favoring the lnvestiga
tion, and the other opposing.

TAX ON OIL.

The Philadelphia Times says: "lfthe
oil producers are wise they will cease
hostility 10 the taxation of oil and di'
rect their efforts to levy such tax in
the most equitable manner. 1t is the
one great product of the State that
has thus far entirely escaped taxation,
although it is the one product that
finds but a small fraction OF its con
tuners in our own country. -Four
ffths of the entire production Of pefrole-
um is consumed in foreign lands, and
no measure of taxation would furnish
so large a revenue with SO little tax
upon ourown citizens. The necessities
Of the Treasury are imperative in de-
manding increased revenues the 9th
er productive industries, are already
taxed as much as they can bear our
corporations are overloaded with taxes
imposed in almost every form that in
genuity can invent; political interests,
to which all parties bow, forbid the
restoration of tax upon real estate, and
oil can no longer escape its just share
OF the burdens OF government. What
the oil interests of Pennsylvania most
need is cordial relations with the other
great interests OF the State, and that
has been persistcntly and suicidally
prevented by passion, arrogance and
the babbling of demagogues. The oil
leaders have had much to contend with,
but their chief contest has been with
themselves. If they would propose a
wise and just tax upon oil, they would
command the generous support OF the
whole State; but while they seek to
throw tho whole wealth of the West
out of Pennsylvania into other States
by an anti-discrimination act that
would be destructive of the interests o.
both the producers and the trans
porters, and while they insist that
they alone shall dictate laws while
other Industries bear all the taxation
they must not complain if their owl
folies bring unwise and harsh exac
, tions upon the great interest they rep
resent. They ought to be able to see
by this time that the blatant dema
gogues in their own circles, and th'
politicians who barter with them OF
the eve of elections, are not thei
source OF safety when the day of tria
comes, and tney can nave little excus'
for persisting in opposition to enlight
ened reason and public necessity.

THE NEXT INTERNATIONAL Ex-
INHIBITION.


By the favor Of Mr.. Thomas B. Hill,
Acting Secretary, we have received q copy
Of the programme and regulations Of the
Melbourne International Exhibition, which
Will be opened October LIST, 1880, and close
March s1st. 1881. In the list Of Com
missioners the names Of a number Of the
most prominent men in the Colony Of Vic
tOris are given, together with the Consul
lar representatives Of every commercial
nation resident in Melbourne. The exhi-
biion will be held in buildings specially
erected for the purpose, the cost Of which,
and all the expenses incidental to the dis
play, will be betrayed put of the funds
voted by the parliament Of Victoria. The
Commissioner invite British, foreign and
colonial governments to take part in their
exhibition, ample arrangements being
made for space and transport facilities to
al who make application. The programme
Of the Commissioners thus sets forth their
objects:
The fact that Australia has been repre-
ssnted at all the great Exhibitions Of the
world since their inception in the year
1851, and the advance she has made in pro-
ductive industry, the extent Of her COM
mercial relations, and the high position to
which her imports and exports have at
tanned, indicate that she has now reached
the period when she may proftably invite
the great manufacturing countries to send
the most complete products Of thesr skilled
industry to . people who are in a position
to become not only good customers but
generous competitors.

requiring unusual tact and ability. and no
