healthier tone to the politics Of the

N. Y. Sun: President Cleveland Tues
q " nominated Henry G. Pearson TO be
Postmaster OF New York city. This he
does after careful consideration of the
whole case. We are bound to believe
that his motives were conscientious. and
that he thought it to be right 10 prefer
this Republican over any Democrat who
might be found. In our judgment this
appointment will produce considerable
shock in the Democratic party of New

will certainly please the Independent
Republicans in fact, it is the one thing
that they have asked for and insisted on

on I'm Chester County.

Parkesburg, Chester County, Pa, has
the oil fever. About two years ago a
Philadelphia named Ellis bought prop
erty about two miles from Parkesburg,
and shortly afterwards noticed that the
surface of small creek running through
the property was covered with thick,
oily substance, which looked like oil
and had the odor of crude petroleum.
He bottled specimens of the stuff and
sent it to the oil regions for analysis. The
quiet farmers Of the neighborhood were
surprised, in course OF time, by visits of a
large number of strangers, all OF whom
inquired for the Ellis farm. But they
were still mere surprised quite recently
when they discovered that Ellis and two
strangers had taken ten-year leases OF
about dozen farms. Then 1t leaked
out that Ellis had found coal oil on his
creek, and that farmers who had leased
land had received certain sums and q
contingency of one eighth Of all oil
or ore found thereon or taken there
from. II was also ascertained that OF
pos pectors are on tn cir way I,
Parkesburg with machinery to bore 70
