handful to about four hills, by the side Of the

drought in August we watched it closely, and

Evidently the time is at hand when
crude petroleum, which is quoted at
about rs cents q barrel, viii be the
great fuel. The aim is to mix Il With
steam, and solatomize it and burn ii as
gas. This successfully accomplished.
and the cheapest and best fuel known
will be produced This country and
Russia are destined to come into active
competition as to the use of this fuel.
The Russian wells flow so much more
abundantly than ours that the product
of the 400 said to be IN operation Is
reported in excess Of the %, 600 in oper-
alton in this country The great point
in the application Of this fuel Is to use
crude oil and consume the smoke. In
most Of the hydrocafbon Arrangements
smoke is not consumed, and this form
ing SCOT, is a non-condHetor Of heat,
and so causes the operation to fail In
any operation that shall perfectly over
come this, success will be attained and
a valuable element introduced into our
commerce. II will give a new use for
petroleum, which will consume millions
of barrels
1t is contended that given amount
of fuel, in the form of petroleum, can
be put in one-thirti the space that coal
viii occupy. Thus q steamship would
be able to receive her full supply of fuel
in the shape of petroleum for both an
outward and return voyage, and still
have one-third the space used for coal
for a single trip, unused. But only
crude oil can be used in competition
with coal. Refined oil is not only more
costly, but less available, being volatile,
and lacking in body and substance.
Such are some of the points involved,
and the solution OF the problems ut
issue will have much to do with the
question Of competis on with Russia,
and with coal in this country. Penn,
sylyania, being largo producer of both,
is vitality interested il this question

Mr.. Tilden long ago, it may be re-
membered, gave formal notification
that in future he did not intend to
reply to any statements which might
be made in the public journals i'm
putting to him views and opinions
with reference to public men and pub
lie questions which he had never au-
thorized. 1t is an endless task"
he said, land no sooner is one fabri-
cation disposed of than another starts
up in its place. At my time of life
it is not worth the while to engage
in endless contradictions, even though
silence might appear to my friends
to give consent This was uttered
upward of twelve months ago, and
the rule then established by the ven
cradle statesman has ever since been
rigfdly adhered to. But within the
past few days his attention has been
called to published statements from
Saratoga implying that he is on un-
friendly terms with President Cleve
land and Mr.. Manning, owing to
their declination to respect his wishes
with reference to sundry Federal APP
pointments for this city, which have
been recently made, and il is said by
those who know him best that, under
a first impulse, he was anxious to
publicly contradict the report, in so
far as it imputed to him desire to
solicit, directly or indirectly. any
favors Of personal character from
the Administration. On reflection,
however, he philosophically concluded
that his self-respect and serenity of
mind would be best conserved by
maintaining the policy of silence,
and hence if anybody is expecting
the Sage of Greystone to show his
hand in a question of this kind
which seems to have been cunningly
gotten up on purpose to draw him
out he is doomed to disappoint-
men'. AS for his personal relations
with the President, there is no rea-
son to doubt that they continue to
be as they have heretofore been-of
the most agreeable, not to say cor
dial, character.-N. Y. Cor. Phila-

There is n matter of interest to
West Virginia that we wish to call
the attention Of her citizens to. The
New Orleans Exposition will open
again on Monday, November 10th,
under the auspices of new company
with capital of 100000. 1t has
been determined by the company to
appropriate $4,000 to each State
making exhibits. 1t is very i'm
portant that West Virginia should
make creditable exhibit of her pro
ducts, agricultural, mineral and lum-
Der this year, as she failed to do so
last, although her citizens were i'm
portuned time and again by the COM
missioner, Mr.. Philip Pendleton, of
Morgan county, so to do. The ex-
hibits at the exposition will be seen
and examined by people from all
parts of the world, with a view of
making investments. Gov. Wilson
has appointed Mr.. Philip Pendleton,
of Morgan, and Mr.. Alex. Campbell,
Of Brooke county, as commissioners
to represent this State. We should
like particularly we'll to see Berkeley
county make a creditable display of
her grain, iron ore, wool, &c To that
end we ask that our farmers bring
in samples Of wheat, corn. iron ore,
wool, &C., which we will take pleas
ure in having forwarded and properly
labeled. -Stdtesman

GOV. HOADLY EXPECTS TO
WIN.
The Germans Regret That He
is Not Anxious to Help Them
TO Offices.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 31.-Gov. Hoad-
ly is represented as saving that be
is delighted with the situation and
its prospects. Two years ago it was
struggle for him to get the nomina
ton, and now the difficulty would
have been to avoid getting it. Then
discussions marred the party's pros
poets, and now all is harmony and
unity. He feels sure Of a brilliant
success.
The German Democrats, who ex
clusively constitute the Jefferson
Club, had a meeting on Friday night,
at which 600 persons, one-half its
membership, were present. Hoadly
is credited with the remark that
"the next postmaster in this city
should be a native born Irishman,"
and that as far as he was concerned
the Germans had been ignored in
making up the slate for local Federal
appointments.
Mr.. Springmeier, the president Of
the club, called attention to this
fact. He said the Germans had elect
ed Hoadly two years ago, and that
the Jefferson Club had furnished
more Democratic votes than the
Duck worth and jackson Clubs com
bined yet they had failed to receive
the recognition to which they were
entitled in the matter of offices. Mr.
& n II hnP IF tho.
club and representative German,
was an applicant for the office Of
postmaster, and was Endorsed by the
Germans generally Yet Hoadly,
with his alleged influence with the
Administration, had entirely over
looked Mr.. Baumann's claims.
The president was vociferouslv APP
plauded. The club then passed a
long preamble setting forth the claims
of the German Democrats, and wound
the thing up with resolutions asking
the President to appoint Mr.. Bau
mann postmaster here, and asking
Hoadly to cooperate with them in
the matter. Copies are to be sent to
President Cleveland, Gov. Hoadly
and the Postmaster General.
There has all along been little
danger that an Irish detection would
trouble the Democratic ticket here
this fall, and if that fear has any
grounds the danger will be aggra-
waited by this action of the Jefferson
Club in pressing a German to the
front at this hour, after two promi
nent Irish aspirants have had a prior
occupancy of the field for so long a
time.

Chronic Dysentery.

Mr.. lanes Brannan, Second avt x,
Pittsburgh, Pa, writes For two years
| have been constantly troubled with 4
chronic diarrhoa, or dysentery, having
had, on an average, from twenty to
twenty-five passages every twenty four
hours, and every one bloody. / had
thoroughly tried all the prominent ply
sicians in Pittsburgh, was twice in the
West Penn Hospital, the first time thir
teen weeks, and though left it much
better, vet in five DAYS / was as bad as
ever. | then tried two other great doc
tors in this CITY, and one of them finally
assured me was not long for this world,
and advised me 10 write to my friends
about II. I next went to DIR. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said. he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and | have now
been entirely well for several weeks, and
never felt better in my life, though am
still taking his PERUNA. / will take il
whenever | need medicine.
Mr.. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes I:
81 have suffered intensely from piles and
chronic diarrhoea. | was treated by five
of the best physicians and surgeons in
the city of Pittsburgh, and with all grew
constantly worse. Finally three of them
said my only hope was an operation.
This frightened me, and went immedi-
ately to DIR. Hartman, who has entirely
cured me with PERuNA. l have been at
work now for three months, and never In
my life felt better. Call and see me at
corner of Twenty and Mulberry
streets, Twelfth ward, Pittsburgh"
Mr.. Patrick Cunningham, S. S., near
Sidney street, Pittsburgh, Pa, writes !:
"For five years have suffered inexpress-
IDLY from internal and external piles.
have tried the best physicians of Pitts
burgh and Allegheny without relief. /
went to DR.. Hartman, who cured me
without detention from work with Pr

Charles Frank, of Emrichville, Jeffer-
son county, Ohio, writes / had piles
and fistula in ano for four years. | had
suffered constantly with . discharge of
matter from the parts, and sometimes
from the contents of the bowels through
it. / could not have borne it much
longer. l had heard so much of the i'll
effects of knife operation that resolved
to go to DIR. Hartman. He ridiculed the
silly idea of cutting it, and at once per-
formed his own original operation with
out the knife, and without pain. / am
thoroughly cured, though ofcourse took
PERUNA."

MaidSyiIle.

MAIDsvILLE, Aug. 31.-The far
mers around here have been thresh-
ing for the last week, and are now
blowing for the fall crops.
The recent showers have changed
the looks of the pasture fields some
what but it is feared that in some
places the grass is entirely dead, as
it seems to have burnt out so bad
that it will not sprout. Corn is look
ing well, and a fair prospect for a
splendid yield.
The teachers from this place have
all been attending the Institute the
past week and a great many of the
people have been attending Confer
ence.
We have understood that two of
our citizens have applied for the
Bald Hill circuit. As it would have
been quite convenient for the gentle
men we think they should have
gotten the place.
Mr.. Geo. Baker, of your town was
in this vicinity some days ago doing
some insurance business. We un-
derstand he took several risks.
John M. Sanders has been off on
trip to Pittsburgh, but the prodigal
has returned. John said they did
not kill the fatted calf when he re-
turned but it was awful hard on the
prodigal.
Miss Lizzie Sanders and brother
Clark have been off on a visit up
Dunkard for some time but are home
again.
Major Ewing Davis is going to at
tend the University the ensuing
year. We will all miss Major at

There was match game of base
ball played here, Saturday, between
the Baker Ridge boys and our boys,

day, August 25th. Ex-Governor
St. John, candidate for President
of the United States in 1884, was
present and delivered short adj
dress. His speech produced the
widest enthusiasm. Barr. Spang-
Ter, of Lancaster county. was nom
mated for State Treasurer. The
delegates to the convention num-
bered about four hundred. and the
chairman of the convention thinks
their vote will be from 20, 900 to
25, 900 at the fall election.
Hole-in-the-Day is the eupho-
neus name of an Indian Chief, who
at Red Wing station concluded he
would engage in the laudable work
of breaking up an illicit traffic be
tween some white men and his
people. He was on his way to St.
Paul to have warrants issued for
the arrest of the whisky sellers
when he was attacked by masked
men dragged from the train taken
to the woods and so severely
beaten that his life was for a time
dispaired Of. The St. Paul Globe
edited by Lewis Baker in speaking
of the occurrence says: Such out
RACES are a disgrace to the white
mans civilization, and are a blot
upon Minnesota which must be
wiped out. 1t is with very bad
grace that we hold up our hands
in horror at ku klux proceedings
in the South, when such outrages
are being perpetrated in our own
state. 1t is a duty the governor
and the law officers of the state
owe to the fair name of Minnesota
to put detectives at work and spare
neither cost nor exertion to bring
the guilty parties to judgment.
Rev. w. w. Downs, Of Boston,
has created the latest church SEN
sation. His alleged undue init
macy with the wife of one OF his
parishioners, led to the separation
of husband and wife, and soon
thereafter he was surprised in the
chamber Of the discarded wife,
sitting on the bed with her, minus
coat, vest and boots, with door
locked and key hole covered. 1t
is possible that he may have thus
locked the door and disrobed him
self to help the woman pack her
trunk, as he all eyes, but if his con-
duct was not criminal, it was a
blunder worse than a crime, and
the congregation that respects re-
ligion would promptly dismiss such
a pastor either as an arrant hypo-
critic or an untamable fool. Misft
ministers are to-day the greatest
stumblingblock to the progress of
true religion. They furnish the
whole stock in trade Of scoffers
like Ingersoll, and they do more to
teach disrespect for religion than
al the other inventions of the
Devil. 1t is not to be assumed
that in all church scandals and
other disputes over ministers, the
minister is at fault but it is sell
dom that there can be strong
church smoke of that kind without
some fire, and when the usefulness
of a minister is ended in a particu-
lar field Of labor from any cause,
his pastoral labors should be trans
ferred to some more congenial and
promising flock.
