We acknowledged that at present we
served and instructed the public in that

-THRRE is Garfield District
in the Gil regions of New York which
exhibits every phase of the rapid
growth usually seen in new y dis
covered camp where the ore is rich
and plentiful. A few months ago a
man almost at the end of his cable
and resources was patiently drilling,
hoping to strike oil before his rope
was all paid out. Que day when
nearly all hope had deserted him, the
peculiar appearance of the material
from the bottom of the hole caused
him to stop work, aud with the as
sistance of a few friends who were
let into the secret, begin purchasing
all the territory in the vicinity which.
could be bought. When the well WAS
tapped flow of 800 barrels daily
was the result, and many holders of
large lots of oil lost heavily on &C.
count of the depreciation in value
which followed the discovery of a
new district. Several wells are now
running, and the flow is counted by
the thousand barrels daily. A town
ofseveral thousand Inhabitants stands
where few months back was nothing
but wilderness, and it owes its
growth to the perseverance and hope
of an oil prospector who would have
been called fool had his cable been
few feet shorter, but who now ranks
as a farseeing and enterprising man.
Really the town of Garfield owes its
existence to the manufacturer who
made the cable long enough to reach
through the rock nnder which the
reservoir of oil was confined.

highest figure on August 31st, 1865
amounting then to 1854, 649, 626 Sc,

ury. At that time the population
was 35,22S 900, and the debt bore
five, six and seven and three tenths
per cent. interest. Since then the
total Indebtedness has been decreased
to $1,91s, 212,094.03, only $250,O0O.,
900 of which bears Al per cent, the
remainder bearing from per cent
to St per cent. With present pop
ulstion of 52,799,OOO, the debt per

interest is $1.09. The cash In the
treasury now amounts to 243, 289, 519,.

NATURALIZATION DECISION

Foreign.born citizens will be inter
ested in decision Just rendered by
Justice Harlan, of the Federal Court
of Illinois, at Springfield. 1t was
in the case of young man who had
been indicted for voting, when it
was alledged be was not legally en-
titled to that privilege. We find the
facts reported as follows:
The parents of the indicted man
were subjects of Prussia, where the
father died in 1855, at which time
the son was only seven years of age.
His mother came to the United States,
bringing the boy with her, and in
1868 she married naturalized citi-
zen of the United States. Justice
Harlan decided that the mother up
on this marriage became ipso fscto a
citizen of the United States as fully
as if she had been herself naturalized
and that the son, being minor and
dwelling in this country when his
mother married, became, by virtue of
her marriage with a naturalized citi-
zen, himself citizen. The conten-
kention of the Government was that
the son could not vote except by
complying with section 1857 of the
Revised Statutes of the United States
relating to naturalization. This view
was, however, overruled by the Just
ice, upon the ground that that section
has no application to the case of a
resident foaeign.born minor who be-
came citizen by force Of his moth
er's marriage to q citizen. The &C.
cused was, therefore, discharged hon
orably from simprisonment.-S. ..

THE EUCALYPTUS TREE.

A professor of the Santa Clara
College has written an interesting
paper about eucalyptus trees. He
has great confidence in the power
they possess of neutralizing malari-
Gus germs In the atmosphere, and
refers to numerous cases where they
have rendered malarious districts
healthy. He thinks if the courses of
the Sacramento and San Joaquin Riv-
ere were covered with these trees ma
larial sickness would be no more
heard of there. Speaking of the re-
markable capacity the tree has for
absorbing moisture, he remarks {:
Though the eucalyptus returns to the
air the moisture it takes from the
soil, it does not return the pestilen-
tial miasma, which either may not
be absorbed by the rootlets, or pass
ing through the capillaries, are de-
composed, or are killed from the
balsamic emanation of the trees,
which form around at a distance
q particular atmosphere which rem
ders the multiplication of the germs
impossible.

Don Cameron was in PhiladelpbiA

special. ives in - fsSTiul rsgs because
his political ownership OF the Keystone
State is disputed. He fairly stormed,
and in the choicest terms condemned
the whole Independent faction. Damn

them all the fight they want, even IL we
have to go down With flying colors, as
the 306 went down. They E=:. -

esrned. there will be no couprc mise

This representative OF the Gamer
OMAN clan admits that he had fought
for the protective tariff In the Senate as
his father had done in other days, but
those who had heretofore supported the
Republican ticket wanted to stab him,
and in burst Of heroic patriotism e1-
claimed: III you want to kill the
party. wo will all 60 to destruction to-
gsther!" According to this trsnk ad-
mission OF Mr.. Cameron, the only aim
and object OF the Republican party in
Psugsy'yaria, Is the perpstuatiou Of a
high protective t,riG by which the
millionaire manufacturers and monopo-
lists, OF whom the Cameron clan are
chiefs. might continue TO levy and eI-
act eItortIonAte tribute from the tax
ridden consumers Of this great and
glorious Republic. II release from
the clutches OF cold. bloolsd, selfish
protectionists necessarily involves the
destruction OF the Republican party. as
claimed by Mr.. Cameron. the sooner its
corrupt carcass is dscsntly inferred, the
better it would be for the American
people.
