THE deposits Of petroleum in the dis
trict OF Baku, near the Caspian Sea, are
proving to be far more productive than
had been thought But, even if they be
relatively as rich as those Of Pennsyl-
vania, the fact need not become bug
bear to the owners OF oil territory in
Southern California. At times the in
creased production of an article sought
by the world may result in temporary
depreciation Of values, and this is notably
the case since the beginning Of the era
Of great CORNERS" But the laws Of
trade, the relation between supply and
demand, ore, like those Of the Medes
and Persians, unohangeablo. Increased
production induces greater demand. In
this age of steam the problem which the
worlds workers are called upon to solve
is related In a few words--whence are
we to obtain the fuel necessary for driv-
ing the engines Of the world! In the
great manufacturing countries Of Europe
for some years it has been feared that
the supply Of available coal will give
out. Pending the perfect adaptation Of
electricity as q motive power, the fuel OF
the imme liate future is petroleum.
Notwithstanding the discoveries of pc
troleum on the shores of the Caspian
and in Missouri, tho world will need
every drop of the precious fluid distilled
from the alembic Of nature in Southern
California. We need much more than
is "in sight," Ito use miners phrase)
south of the mountains for our own
home development, and any surplus
which we may be able to spare will be
sought for eagerly.

About the Double Murder.


Mr.. VIM. Chappellow, brother of
the murdered K. R. Chappellow. was in
the city yesterday to ascertain if there
was any likelihood that his brother or
Mr.. Weinhold had $1,000, as was sup
posed, at the time of their murder. He
thinks that there was no such sum in
the house at the time, but that his
brother had sold n horse and buggy, and
from the proceeds had probably paid
500 to Mr.. Weinhold, on account OF the
$1,000 which he was to pay to enter into
partnership with him. The deceased
Chappellow held a mortgage OF $1,000 on
a ranch that he had sold at Duarte, but
there is no record at the Recorders S
office that he had sold or transferred
the mortgage to anybody for the pur-
pose of raising money. If anyone has
bought the mortgage aud has it in his
possession he will confer favor by
making the fact known to the proper
authorities. Mr.. Chappellow thinks
that some villains overheard some con-
yersation of Mr.. Weinhold with Chap
pellow or his friends about selling half
interest for $1,000, and supposing tie
money had been paid, followed them
home and murdered them for money
which they did not get. If the mort
gage had been transferred to Weinhold
as security for the payment OF the
money it was probably burned with the
two partners, and the fact will never be
known. Mr., Uhappellow went home
last evening, but will return to the city
to-day, to make further investigations
The case is SO diabolically aggravated
that II seems fit for the Board OF Super
yisors Of the county and the Governor ol
the State to offer large reward for the
apprehension of the murderers. A re-
ward of $1,000 apiece would be little
enough for the apprehension of each and
every person connected with the murder
A petition to the Governor to oner suet
q reward seems the proper thing to DO

The British Consul at Rochelle,
France, writes that there is ne Longer
any faith in that community touching
tho efficacy Of Insecticides to save the
bulk of French vines. AT present all
yignerons are experimenting in planting
American stocks. But. even should the
American vine prove to have lasting
resistance. it must be long ere French
vineyards can be re-established' al
present but a small acreage has been
planted in comparison with that which
is annually destroyed. As it has taken
centuries to build up the vineyards Of
France, the Consul thinks that, at least
10 the Rochelle district, the present gen.
Grafton cannot see the damage repaired.
Vineyards there are small holdings ana
replanting is costly. so that only the
wealthy can undertake II. Seven thou
sand vines are planted to the heetare,
and each vine costs a quarter OF dollar.
In addition to this there is the labor OF
planting, and that Of grating the French
vines on the American stock, More
over. it will be three or four years be-
fore the new vineyard begins TO Dear
We certainly do not rejoice in the mis-
fortunes Of others, but misfortune in the
sass Of French vineyards is inevitable

PERIODICALLY, twelve times in the
year, we are called upon to listen to 9
flourish Of trnmphets by the Republican
press, which announces with an accom-
paniment Of brilliant verbal pyrotochnica
that "the public debt was reduced last
month by five millions"-cr any other
sum. It strikes us that the reduction
Of the public debt does not depend upon
the Republican party; the amount OF
taxes paid by the people has good deal
TO do with the matter. 1t might be
asked why, during Republican admin
istratlen of nearly quarter OF GEN.
tury, that the public debt has not
been more materially reduced, but that
the answer is so patent II the thefts
committed by punderers of the Federal
Treasury, from the whisky ring to the
star route bandits, had been prevented,
how much less would the public debt be
to-day? The Democratic party, in obe-
dience to the will of the people, which
It recognizes as sovereign, desires to cur
tail expenses, to expend the public money
only in reasonable and an economical
manner. The Republican party does
not pay the national debt; that party is
known, from financial point OF view,
as party which raises money for the
purpose Of buying elections. For the
past three years the voice of the people
has shown that they fully know what
the Republican party has done to reduce
the public debt.

EDITOR BoRucK has been lately ap-
plying himself to predicting who the
Democratic Presidential candidates will
be in 1884. In the last issue of his
Spirit Of the Times, under the head OF
''Aeclamation, he thus disposes OF the
matter, and We are inclined to think
that he has hit the nail on the head;
T..den and Hendricks" will be nomi-
rateti fer President and Vice.President
of the United States, without a ballot;
it will be by acclamation. We are not
a prophet, nor the son of prophet, but
lust wait and see. The man who is de-
sirous of being mashed out democrati-
cally and politically fiat, let him be put
up In the next Democratic National Con-
vention as against Samuel J. Tilden.

To HAVE o northern and southern
party in politics is, according to es-
tesmed contemporaries, very deplorable.
Their position is unassailable. But did
not the apostles of Republcanism and
their followers applaud VIM. Lloyd Gar
rison when he asserted that there was
"merit in it 1.-THE Republican partly be-
cause 1t was the first crack in the ice
berg" and that "it would soon go with
a crash through the centery" The Repub-
Iican party is still sectional party
whereas the Democratic party alone has
q working organization from the great
lakes to the Gulf of Mexico; from the
Pacific to the Atlantic; in every State
and Territory of ths Union. A party
with so small following in any section
OF the country that it had to steal the
votes OF two States of that section in
order to elect it's President cannot be
considered q national party.

TAXING into consideration the state
ment OF Mr.. } s. lie Sage, managing
editor OF the Duly .Tetegraph, of Lon
don, that "the rule in the Telegraph
office is to write every editorial Of suffi.
cient length that it will just turn the
column" English ideas touching the
proper mode Of conducting newspaper
are, to say the least, extraordinary.
This rule would not work in this coun-
try. The aim of the American journal
ist is to condense, for he knows that to
his readers "time is money" and that
the public wants comments on current
affairs put into form as concisely as may
be. In a few exceptional cases the i'm
portance of the subject under considera-
tion needs lengthy editorial; otherwise
the modern American style Of journalism
forbids the adoption of Mr.. lie Sages
system. Procrustes, the Frank James
of Attica, who was finally slain by
Theseus, had bed OF iron ON which he
stretched his captives. If they were too
long for the bed he Topped off their
limbs; il too short, he stretched them
till they fitted it. This seems to be the
method of Mr.. lie Sage with regard to
editorials. The writer must either ex'
tend his article by weak repetition and
redundancy, or he must leave unsaid
what should be said, lest he exceed the
rule. Editorial matter is not written as,
before the days of John Roach ships are
said to have been built in Maine-by the
mile, to be chopped off in lengths to suit
Moreover, life is too short for us to
study out the meaning of long'winded
trsatises on the topics of the times; only
the man of entire leisure can conscien
tiously read the quarterly reviews,
where articles OF lie Sage-ian length find
their fitting place. For an English
public-school boy, MIR. lie SAGE il

grammar taught him-muttum in parrO

Particulars of the Mexican Rail-

KANSAS Cry, Mo, Nov. 1.-THE
Journals Laredo, Texas special says:
A bold train robbery was perpetrated at
7 o'clock last night ON the Mexican Ma
tional Railroad, twenty miles south of
here, across the Mexican line. As the
train from Saltillo, Mexico, bound for
this place, rounded a curve on q lonely
spot not far from La Jarlta, small sta
ton, the engineer discovered that a rail
had been removed from the track. He
applied the brakes and reversed the en-
CINE as soon az possible, but too late to
save the train, which was thrown from
the track. The engine and first two cars
were wrecked, and the others somewhat
damaged. The fireman was killed, fall
ing beneath the engine. The engineer
was considerably bruised. Slmultane-
ously with the train leaving the track
about forty masked men issued from an
adjoining wood and made an attack.
They compelled the conductor to give
up the money in the express car, $4,000
in silver, and were about to relieve the
passengers of their valuables, when it
became known that one Of the passen-
gers had escaped and gone to La Jarita
for assistance. The robbers thereupon
took fright, and, returning to their
horses, retreated into the woods. 1t is
thought they have crossed the Rio
Grande, and are now upon American
SOIL Scouting parties are out in all
