NATURAL GAS WELLS.

Just at present, in the western half of
Pennsylvania, natural gas is enjoying a
new boom, and all the papers in radius
of one hundred miles are filled with
praises OF the gas and its benefits to the
people. That this is the direct result of
paid advertising there can be no doubt,
in the minds OF those who are conversant
with the subject, and who have been on
the ground, as the whole business from
first TO last was arrayed against the in
terests OF consumers by being bought in
and controlled by monopolies In cir
cult of thirty miles around Pittsburg
there are as many wells, or "gushers," !"
as they are called, throwing up gas at
the well in vast quantities and at Il

Mr.. BLAINE, in one of his Maine
speeches, thanked God that he wouldn't
have to fight Democrats in heaven. He
was doubtless correct in his conclusion,
based upon erroneous premises.
His future battle field will probably be in
u region where he will find but little
Democratic opposition to his favorite
theory OF high protective tariff on

A YOUNG man out of work began ped
ding lead pencils about Norristown, Pa.
He went into a manufacturers office,
and, as the proprietor good-naturedly
listened, praised his pencils and drew
figures on bit of paper to show how
good they were. His method of drawing
and precision OF tonch led the mrnufac-
turer to question him. He proved to be
designer of ingenuity and skill, and be-
fore he went out had secured place.

The tactics contemplated by the
republicans in the Arkansas con
gresslonal elections, are clearly de
fined In the following from the Wal
nut Ridge Telephone:
"The republicans will not maks
any nominations at present. They
will try to get the political wheelers
TO put out candidate In each dis
trict and get up all the strife possI
bic between democrats in the wheel
and democrats out OF the wheel, and
just few days before the election
they will announce their republican
candidate aud the republicans viii
all vote for him. The wheel will
gain nothing but republicans may
possibly be proiited"

Government Guessing.

Frequently in the past few years
the press of the country has pointed
out the injustice done the producer
by the present system OF guessing"
at crops. Mr.. jerome Fill, of the
well known firm of Hill, Fontaine d
CO., st. Louis, has written letter to
the Commissioner of Agriculture,
Washington, In which the injustice
is clearly shown. The Nashville
News referring to this subject says:
"This is question of more impor-
lance than would at first appear, and
one when properly understood, will
readily succumb to the disapproval
of the producers Of this country.
The government ought not to collect
reports of the condition of the crops,
except for statistical information.
At present, only the Spectator is
benefited by the immense cost OF
collecting these facts, and that class
is amply able to bear the burden OF
it. The producer has already enough
obstacles and hardships with which
to contend, without the government
he is heavily taxed to sustain, ad-
ding more to his already onerous
burden. He is not benefited in the
least by this government guessing"
but often injured. II the reports in.
dictate large crop, the dealings in
cultures" correspondingly lower, and
the producer gets none of the adyan
tage of large yield; and If short
crop, the Spectator is the first to get
the information, giving him ample
time to again manipulate the "fu-
tures' so as 10 benefit himself in
stead of the producer.
The cotton producer is the princi-
pal sufferer from this government
guessing" consequently it is a ques
tion of prime Importance with us.
The sources of private information,
coupled with that gathered by the
government, leaves no possible
chance for the cotton producer to
ever get the benefit of a "short crop
price, for s'laree crop yield" The
disposition is to always give the
benefit of a doubt to an increased
yield, and liza close estimate Is made,
il seldom falls below the actual pro
duction."

BREcKINRIDGE was elected two
years ago by only 2463 votes. Carl

elected, and for him to remain in the
race will defeat Breckenridge and
elect Republican; therefore, In the

Well said; but why encourage
CarlLee to make the race by keeping
his name at the masthead OF your
paper? He ia not the candidate of

the Wheel, whose principles and
purposes he is endeavoring to over
ride. He represents no one but him
self, unless 1t be the Republicans
with whom he has doubtless entered
into a disgraceful political compact.
Therefore he should receive no
recognition from Democrats or

A vERr important meeting Of plant
ers and cotton ginners was held IN
Little Rock Saturday last to take in
to consideration what to do with cot
ton seed. 1t seems the oil mill men
had resolved to pay only So ton for
seed. This OF course is not much
over half the value Of the seed, and
the meeting took steps to counteract
such scale Of prices. This meet
ing considered the following resolu
tons which look timely. They de
serve the attention of all our farmers
Whereas, The owners and man
ayers Of Cotton Seed Oil Mills have
held a consultation among them
selves and resolved TO pay IS per tor
for cotton seed under future purcha

Whereas, Cotton seed is worth Il
the farmer more than such price as I
manure when returned to the fielc
from whence it was taken; and
Whereas, The present system o
selling cotton seed, instead OF so re
turning it to the field, is practica
robbery Of our cotton fields of thei
wealth, therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That we, the cotton pro
ducers and public ginners of Arkan
sas, condemn the policy of selling
our cotton seed at any price short o
that which will replace their value tt
the land from whence it was taken
and will not sell any except at sucl
price as will compensate US.
