OIb CITY, October II The pc
troleum industry is Ia a healthier con-
dtion now than at anv time since the
opening OF tie great Bradford field five
wears ego. The production is decin-
ing at a rate that in another mon b
will make it equal only to the COL
sumption, s.ate Of affairs that has
not existed for years, and in fact hard
ly ever since the beginning of the Pc
troleum industry From careful and
accurate guages the production is es-
timated as follows by districts: Brad
ford district, $4,000 barrels daily !;
Allegheny, n. Y, field, $4,000 bar
rels Cherry Grove. $500 other dis
tricts combined 5000 barrels, giving
an aggregate OF II eco barrels against
1O4, 600 on September lst then divided
as follows: Bradford, z5,05; Ale
gheny, $1,000; Cherry Grove, 35,-
0U0; other districts, 5000.
The above figures show an enor-
nous decline in Cherry Grove, due to
its thousand barrel wells having ceased
to produce. Bradford shows an en-
couraging falling Of, and Allegheny
is slowly dropping away. The minor
fields are principally old districts
where the production of tue wells has
fallen so low that much further de-
cline is impossible, and includes the
new Cranberry field near Oil City,
whcro operations arc active, and the
increase in production about covers
the decline of the other districts es-
timated with it.

cline as that Of September is expected

for September showed large decrease
as compared with the preceding
month, and unless some entirely new

General Beaver, ia his Philadelphia
speech declared that the voice of the
majority must rule. That's a very
fine proposition, in the abstract but it
is not always the case that the MAORI
ty must, or ought to rule. Martin
Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley and
other religious reformers were in a
decided minority when they refused to
be "ruled, Z" and mankind has been the
gamer because they did refuse The
patriots were 10 hopeless minority in
1775 and l776, and the Tories were in
a large majority, but the patriots were
right, and the Tories wrong. The re-
suit of the revolt Of the minority was a
new nation, which is to-day the hope
Of The mis-governed millions Of other
lands. Profane and religious history
arc full of records of great revolutions
wrought by small, but intrepid, brave
and resolute minorities.
But, if it were absolutely true that
majorities should in all cases rule, there
would have to be an exception made in
the case of General Beaver Ia the
first place. the little Stalwart faction in
this State is very small minority of
the Republican party of the Union. 1t
insults the Republican party every
time it claims. to be the party or
majority of it. In the second place,
General Beaver himself conspicuously
defrauded great, overwhelming major
ity Of their political rights, when he
voted for Grant and the unit rule at
Chicago while his district was over
wheImingly for Blaine General Bea
yer is the last man 10 the state TO whine
