Petroleum Wells in Bur.na,,.

The petroleum field of Yenangycong ex
tends over an area of sixteen square miles,
the physical conformation of which repro
duces almost exactly that of the oil pro-
ducing district in Baku in the Russian
Caucasus. Baro crumbling ridges alter
nate with deep, dry gullies, half checked
with sand, while every here and there you
como upon black, narrow, and seemingly
unfathomable chasm in the parched earth,
all around the mouth Of which the dusty,
yenowish gray surface is spotted with
pools of thick, dark, glutinous liquid, as
it some boy giant had been set to fill
number of colossal jars of molasses, and
had done it so awkwardly as to spill the
precious fluid all over the place.
The petroleum wells of Yenangyoong
depth from 200 to 800 feet. They have
been worked for considerable period.
but hitherto without much success, partly
on account of the unskillful and costly
system adopted by tho natives and partly
on account of the ingrained rapacity of
the Burmese government, which, up to
the very latest moment of its existence,
never failed to lay its greedy claws upon
every native industry which showed the
slightest token of yielding any profit
whatever, thereby verifying to the letter
famous passage in the ancient Brahmin
hymn to the five headed deity of night:
"The priest is one of thy mouths. and
with that mouth thou devourest the peo.
pie; the king is one of thy mouths, and
with that mouth thou devourest every.
body"
The oil yielded by the Yenangyoong
wells is somewhat lighter than tho ordi.
nary color, and unusually thin when first
taken out, although after having been
exposed to tho air for some time (more
especially in cold weather) it shows
tendency to become thick and glutinous.
As regards its quality tho resident cx-
perts are not altogether of ono mind, but
all alike agree in Pronouncing it far infe.
likely to compare favorably even with the
best quality of petroleum yielded by the
Russian oil wells at Baku.-David Ker In

The POTATO Cron.

The department of agriculture re-
turns for October shows q small de-
cline in the condition of potatoes since
the previous month, quite evenly dis
tributed throughout the principal dis
tricts of production. The falling off
was less than usual during September,
and is attributed mainly to a tendency
to rot IN the east, and to local drouth
during the latter part of the season in
portions Of the west. Somsrdam-
age from frost occurred in New Eng
land, northern New York and Michi-
gan. Rot in the eastern states fol-
lowed excessive moisture The gene
raj average of condition for the whole
country is S6 8, against 6l.5 a year ago,
81 in 1886, an 50 in 1885. In the more
important states the average is:
Maine, 80; New York, 80; Pennsylya-
MIA, 81; Ohio. 81; Michigan, SO; Illinois,

To Go in a Special Car.

Minneapolis (AIinn) Tribune: If
Dakota carries out the reported inten-
tion of going in special car to con-
gratulate the president-elect, Indiana
and the states en- route want to sit
alongside of the track and see the
coach go by. Dakota has a style of
her own. 1t is broad like her golden
prairies, swift like her mighty river,
breezy like the sweep of her winds,
aud it is expansive and cloudless like
her native ozone and her brilliant
skies. The Dakota car and the Da-
kota statesmen therein will leave in
their wake a reflected glitter that will
stagger the vision of the modest mid
die states and multiply the self-con-
gratulations on Dakota's statehood

Meaning of the Word "L,ni,ca."

A subscriber asks for all explanation
of the word Limited" which frequently
follows the name of corporation, as the
Sunrise Backing company. limited" or
"Smith g. Jones, limited" In the last
case, as in tho first, the concern is cor.
poration, with shareholders, not one of
whom, possibly, is Smith or Jones.
The old principle of corporations ere.
ated by legislative act was that the entire
property of every stockholder was liable
for the whole debts of the company, as
the whole property Of every member of
general partnership is still liable for the
debts of the firm.
But this system made every shareholder
responsible for bad management of which
he might not be guilty, and deferred
wealthy men from becoming interested in
the shares of corporations. To remove
this objection the principle of limited liza
bility was introduced, and in order to no.
tify tho public that only the separate
property of the corporation was liable for
the debts of the corporation the English
law requires that tho word "limited"
shall be used in every case by The COM
pany.
Most American corporations are con.
stituted on the principle of limited liza
bility, but few, if any, of the states en-
join companies to append the word lin.
tied to their corporate titles. The matter
is SO well understood in this country, in.
deed, that it is not necessary.
Tho most noteworthy exception to the
general rule is the case of tho national
banks, and even in this instance liability
is limited to an amount equal to the par
value of the shares. That is, if na.
tional bank fails, each stockholder may
not only lose what he has invested, but
800 more for each share of stocks he
holds, if so much is necessary to pay the
debts of the bank.
Until within few years all the Scot.
tish banks were organized with unlimited
liability, and when, eight or ten years
ago, Glasgow bank failed, disastrously,
there were cases of mon WHO ,nly owned
share or two, valued before tho failure
at not much more than hundred dollars
each, who We're assessed thousands of
pounds sterling, to meet the debts of the
bank Since that time the Scottish banks
have been allowed to rcorganize OH basis
of limited liability.-Youth's Companion.

Still Another Trust.

Aberdeen News: And now the mil
lers' trust is to be thrust upon the
public. The organization is being
worked up throughout the east and is
extending into Dakota. Its object is
probably to keep flower just as high
aud wheat just as low as possible.
There is no way to break 1T, only by
legislation. 1t is combination to
affect the price of the necessaries OF
life and ought to come within the
reach of the law.

The Sioux Question.

D"hola AuVduC: NOW that the
administration has failed to WORRY
the Siouxinto an acceptance
OF the proposition, we are
informed that congress will open the
reservation without the red IN ans con-
sent. The reason given for this course
is the increasing demand for more land
Tor settlers, and the fact that the
Sioux can make no progress without
a reduction of their reservation. "The
authorities are convinced" it is re-
marked that public policy demands
that no further attention should be
paid to the treaties" But it certainly
Is strange view of public policy
which ignores public treaties. If the
government made covenant with the
Sioux by which they are legally pos
sessed of these lands, there is but one
honorable way to obtain them and
that is by purchasing at price which
the Indians will accept. If they insist
on S125 per acre, let that price be
paid, and the money used for their edu-
cation and introduction to civilized
life. If that is more than the settler
is willing to pay let him go elsewhere.
This is not question of the white
mans profits but of the Sioux's rights.
In hunting them out of their last acre
on earth, let us be decent as possible
about it.
Chamberlain Register: Such articles
cause the very mistaken ideas on the
Indian question that are entertain ed
by many eastern people. The Sioux
bill it carried out was indended to and
would have in few years raised the
Indian from position of a lazy pauper
to that of an independent farmer. To
be sure it gave him but fifty cents per
acre for his land, much of it good only
for grazing purposes, but it provided
for each Indian tamllv from 100 to sew
eral hundred acres according the num-
Der in the family-they to have first
choice over all whites. 1t also provid-
ed teams, clothing, rations and all
things necessary to start them on the
road to independence, and even more,
to wealth, as their lands are now idle
and worthless to them or any one else,
whereas if white people settled among
them and improved farms and built
cities, the farms would soon have
value of thousands of dollars each.
To all this would you prefer to keep
up the reservation system which is a
barrier to progress and civilization, no
Indian having title to any certain piece
of land and hence little incentive to
cultivate any of it and all kept in idle
ness at the public expense. like COM
anon herd, while these immense tracts,
larger than many eastern states, are
held by them in a dog-in-the-manger
style, they neither making any man
ner of use of them themselves OF al.
lowing others to? AS to "hunting
them out of their last acre. we are
lead to wonder if the writer can be
ignorant of the fact, that besides CIV
ing them each farm, the bill leaves
millions of acres to them still un-
divided. The whole article from first
to last shows either culpable ignorance,
or willful and wicked intention to
deceive.

We further represent that the ne
cessity for division OF the territory and
the admission of South Dakota imme-
dlatly, and Of North Dakota at the
earliest practicable date is most urgent;
and we urge immediate measures for
that purpose as a matter of right and
an act OF justice already too long de-
ferred.
We therefore earnestly petition the
president to call special session of
the liftY-frst congress to convene as
soon as may be after the 4th of March,
A. ID. 1889, in order that acts may be
passed Immediately admitting South
Dakota into the union. and securing
for North Dakota membership of the
great family of states without unnec-
essary delay.

Exchange: A New York state
Judge has refused to allow man to be
naturalized in his court because he
was an habitual drunkard. This is the
first instance that we remember where
the requirement OF the law, that man
shall possess a good moral character,
mas been enforced; and it ought not to
be the last one. Massachusetts, has a
law to the effect that man who has
been convicted of q state prison crime
forfeits the right of suffrage, but it is
not always enforced.

DEAR SIR: Permit us to call your
attention to resolutions and form of
petition herewith enclosed. They are
submitted to you by committee,chos-
en-, as you will observe, very soon after
the glad tidings of the recent election
were received. We do not deem it
necessary, at this time, to enter into an
argument to satisfy you of the urgent
need OF division and admission of the
Dakotas. All loyal Dakotans, having
due regard for the material interests
OF the people, must appreciate the pro-
prlety OF prompt action in the direction
herein suggested. We take theliberty
of submitting form of petition to be
presented to President Harrison, call
ing attention to the pledge in the re-
publican national platform, and asking
for special session OF congress to ex-
pedite our cause. This is presented to
secure uniformity throughout the ter
rltory, north and south, and will be
circulated in every county in Dakota.
Will you cooperate by circulating
these petitions in your county. and
when they have been signed by all cit
zens SO disposed, regardless of party,
forward them at once to Governor A. g.
Mellette, Watertown, Dakota. If you
deem it advisable, please call public
meeting in your county to popularize
your action: it not, circulate promptly
and with as much energy as you may
be dis posed to exert.
Hoping that you may be favorably
impressed, and may give this matter
your prompt and active support. we
are yours, sincerely, for division, ad-
mission and the early promotion of the
two Dakotas to the great family of
states. w. T. .LAFoLLETrE.
