1t Cannot Defeat Him.

Hon. John Mcbride, according to the
Plain Dealers Columbus correspond
ent, expresses confidence that he will be
elected secretary of State in November
next. He finds the sentiment of the
State strong in favor of the Democracy
this year, and general disposition on
the part of the workingmen, without
regard to party, to vote the Democratic
ticket at the coming election. Upon
these signs he bases his expectation OF
success.
We do not think that Mr.. Mcbride
has made any mistake about this, or
that his confidence is misplaced. The
indications are certainly in his favor,
and there is no reason to suppose that
there will be any change in public
sentiment between now and the elec-
tion.
Of only one influence does Mr.. Nc
Bride express any fear and that is the
influence of great corporations and
monOpolies that look with alarm upon
the entrance of workingmen into poll
tics. The men who are bitter foes OF
organized labor and who will do all
they can to crush out every labor Or
BdlllAdGiOIl III tue cOuntFy dTe HOW At
the head of the Republican ore;aniza-
tion. They are making use of the Re-
publican party organization to crush
labor down in utter helplessness. They
will spend money freely to de-
feat the Democratic party this year be-
cause it has placed a representative
workingman on the State ticket and
because it has made itself the cham
pion of the workingmen's cause. Of
this influence and the money that is
back of it Mr.. Mcbride expresses some
apprehensions. The presence of five
millionairs on the State executive
committee and the activity of avowed
labor crushers in the work of the Re-
publican campaign he regards as omi-
nous.
We do not think this influence can
defeat the Democratic party this year.
We do not believe that the millionaire
committee can gather enough Doodle to
defeat the party that has made its ap-
peal to the people in behalf of a cause
that is righteous and bound to prevail.

A New Jersey Judge has Matched up
a theory in regard to rain storms, which
fit proves successful in practice, will
make the signal service department
about as valuable to the government as
a lead quarter with hole in it. The
Judge belongs to a number of gaudy
military organizations, and has noticed
that every time any one of them
donned their richly tinseled uniforms
and went forth and fired offa Monday
fifth of July. Birthington's Washday or
other salute, the Heavens seemed to
open up and make a great effort to
drown the whole kit and kaboodle be-
fore they had chance to run home.
Theorizing upon this, and the fact that
it had been noticed, that artillery duals
and battles during the war, were usu-
ally followed by copious downfalls of
rain, his seething brain boarded train
of thought which took him directly to
the solution of the problem without
change. His idea is to effect condensa-
tions of vapor in the clouds, over the
region where rain. is wanted, by pro-
ducing artificial conclusions of great
force. According to his plan, instead
of the old method of getting down on
the knees and praying for rain, which
always results unsatisfactory even
when it doesn't produce greater
drouth than ever, all that will be nec-
essary to bring about a storm, will be
to send up cheap balloon fastened to a
wooden cask filled with dynamite,
which in turn would be connected with
an electric wire, and when it had
reached the desired height, let her go
Gal-that is to say, explode the dyn-
amite. The explosion would burst the
clouds and rainfall would quickly fol-
low. The Judge remarks that storms
all over the country might be regulat-
ed if the government would take up
my idea and establish rain-producing
stations all through the U. s. Cyclones,
tornadOes and hurricanes, as well as
droughts would all be done away with,
for the clouds would not be permitted
to reserve their contents from one Sec
tion until they had gorged themselves
with water for the purpose of flooding
rivers elsewhere and sweeping away
entire towns" The Judge ends up
with the assertion that "by this method
man would control the heavens almost
as we'll as the earth," seemingly utter
ly oblivious to the fact that man does
not control the earth at all. Such
theories as these are almost enough to
make the earth quake.-Penny Press.

sw Our Oil Resources.-In his theory of
the Oil resources of Northwestern Ohio, Pro-
fessor Orton gives the following: ''The pro-
ductive territory lies in spots, and the differ
ent centers cannot be connected by any lines
or belts that it is at all worth while to draw.
Any two places can be joined on the map by q
straight line, it is true, but not a line can be
drawn between the productive districts at
present known, which is not broken by fail
ures where drilling has been attempted, and
no line has yet been found that would lead
the driller to fortune. The northwest and
southeast line derived from Pennsylvania
experience, is perhaps, the favorite direction
in the new field also. Lima lies to the south
west of Findlay; so far, so good, but in the
same line lies Fostoria with two dry holes,
Fremont, without single well in the Tren-
ton that deserves mention, out of total of
eight wells. Between Lima and Findlay
wells have been drilled at four points, viz:
Beaver Dam, Button, Mt. Corey and Raw
son, and all are failures. To the southwe st
of Lima is Celina, where the Trenton is re-
ported unproductive. Out of total of nine
locations on this line two are productive
Another line on which great expectations has
been built, is the north and south line con-
Meeting Findlay and Bowling Green, but the
line is broken in the middle and at both ends.
Between Bowling Green and Findlay, the
North Baltimore well has showed unproduc-
tive ground, at least in the first we'll. North
of Bowling Green are the three unproductiye
wells of Toledo. South of Findlay, Airing
ton. Kenton, Belle Center, Urbana and
Springfield have made an unavailing search
for gas or oil in the Trenton. In this case.
two localities out of nine have proved sue.
cessful. Such lines, or belts, it is obvious.
are worse than none. The Canadian oil field
is frequently included in the same belt with
Lima and Findlay, but the Canadian oil is
derived from rock that is not present at
either of the named places. Its place in the
Findlay scale would be 800 or 400 feet in the
air. The corniferous limestone in the
Canadian oil rock, and the Trenton is never
approached within q thousand feet in this
field; and, moreover, there is good reason to
believe that the Trenton arch in Ohio was
formed ages before the Canadian oil rock
was deposited"

There are some books, like the remarkably
popular "Franz's Album of Songs" which
awaken in those who have genuine musica
taste, real enthusiasm. One of these is the
"Album of Songs" by Halfdan KjeruIf, (Oli.
yer Ditson & Co. S1.5O.) 1t will be difficult
to find anywhere songs truer to nature, purer
in sentiment more melodious or beautiful
than the thirty-three in this volume. The
melodies, which are of the finest workman
ship, with well wrought harmonies, and yet
not dificlt, prove that Kierulf is brother in
song and the equal, of the illustrious Franz.
The original text is by the most notable
writers, and includes song in French by
Victor Hugo. All of the songs have English
translations. -
The readers of "Ben Hur," Gen. Lew Wal
lace's fascinating ''Story of the Christ" win
be glad to know that the sweet song of the
fair Egyptian, "Wake not, but hear me
Love-" has been set to music by George l..
Osgood, and published by Oliver Ditson &
Co., Boston, at thirty-fve cents.
Victor Hugo's "Day Break" with Music
by N. H. Allen, "Nell, the Village Lass" by
j. W. Wheeler, leach thirty cents,) and
Max Piutti's verson of the Swedish Folk
Song, "High in the Vault of Heaven" (twen-

nounced by Oliver Ditson & Co. They also
announce the following choice instrumental
pieces: "Waltz," from the Opera of Cloves

MUSIC NOTES.

Godey's Lady's Book for October is a sea-
sonable autumn number. The fashion pages
are replete with pretty illustrations for differ.
ent articles of costume. while an attrac-
tive frontispiece illustration and colored
and black-work designs will be eagerly
welcomed by its lady readers. The "Wave o.
the Sea-" by Marian @. L. Reeves, grows in
interest. "An Old Mans Darling" by Eliza
beth Phipps Train, new contributor, is well
worthy of perusal. 1.-TWO Days in June,'
by E. I. Talbot, Is bright little story. "The
Great Scamperton Fair" by L. A. Cory is
concluded, all the complications being un-
raveled at last. Several other stories and
poems complete the literary matter.
Among the latter, "Fallen Leaves" by Emil
Ludekens, is especially worthy of considera-
tion. The Fashion Notes give many reasona-
BILE hints upon autumn styles, and also treat
upon different ways of decorating our homes.
Godey's increases each month in interest.

Fullerton, 18th District.--Threshing is
going on at a lively rate in this neighborhood.
The extremely wet season has caused much of the
grain to spoil, especially that which had been
stacked. In many instances the stacked grain
had sprouted so much that it made them look like
we'll sodded mounds.
Corn is looking we'll, especially that which is
on high grounl. Many of the farmers are cut
ting their crop corn and selling it for roasting
ears. They say it pays better to sell corn at III
to 25 cents per dozen, than to sell at $3.50 and
$500 per barrel.
All kinds of garden produce seems to be drown
ed out and overrun with weeds. Tomatoes par
ticularly are doing very badly and no doubt will
command good price through the season.
very pleasant croquet party was given few
evenings ago by Miss Laura Cole at the residence
of Mr.. Thomas Gorsuch.
Mr.. N. W. Smith is greatly improving the road
leading from Raspeburg to Graves spring, and
the travelling public appreciate the Improvement.
Several of the young people of the neighbor-
hood went to Colchester last Wednesday, and ex-
pressed themselves having a very pleasant trip.
The day was warm but gentle breeze was blow
ing and white caps appeared occasionally. A
school of porpoises, tumbling and jumping out Of
the water, was quite novelty to many, some
wishing to come back the next day and fish for
them. Bathing was INDUCED in freely, and had
it not been for CT the young men OF the party,
(Mr. Howard Mccormick.) little boy would have
been drowned. He was over his depth and, being
unable to swim, was calling for help, which no one
needed, thinking he only joking, until Mr..
Mccormick, seeing his precarious condition, went
to his rescue. The skating rink was patronized
and many falls was the consequence. But as ''pa-
thence and perseverance conquors all things" it
crowned their efforts with success, and in short
time many of them could glide or roll along quite
freely.
Gatch's M. E. Church will hold their annual
supper and festival in the grove adjoining the
church, next Wednesday, Aug. 18th.

A Ministar ON UTha Blues"

On Sunday night last Rev. George Elliott,
pastor of Union Square NJ. E. Church, Baltimore,
preached a sermon on "The Blues" He said
"All people can DE divided into optimists and
pessimists, those who look on the bright side of
things and those who look on the dark side. One
cause of the blues is natural temperament. 1t is
as natural for the dove to moan as for the robin
to sing. The state of the health is the source of
much depression. A disordered stomach and a
diseased liver are accountable for much of the
worlds gloom. Domestic trouble is fruitful
cause. A man without q true home, who has a
housekeeper a help to eat meat rather than wife
and helpmeet, is apt to be miserable. Borrowing
trouble crossing bridges before they are reached,
overwork and responsibility, all may bring the
raven of dependency to wave his black wings
over the darkened soul. But the chief cause is
an evil conscience Nothing can so weigh down
the soul as sin. Sydney Smith said that he had
twenty-five remedies for the blues. But as the
real disease is sin, the best cure of all is sure
trust in God. God is not dead. He careth for
you. He doeth all things we'll. Then there is the
hope of Heaven. The outcome of the Christian
life is joyful. This rainbow spans all the clouds
of life. Man is a laughing animal. AL! others
are failures in that particular The world is full
of sources of joy, and life may flow on in endless
song. If sinners can sing and dance on the road
to ruin, saints may shout on the way to Heaven.
