THE OGDEN ELEoTIoN.

Assuming that the Peoples party in
Ogden is in the mejority-an assump-
tion which seems to be fairly well
groundeG-the members of that party
rather than the Liberals will be the
gamers by the failure to make Ogden
city of the second class. With the dis
tricts and superintendent as they were
arranged the Liberals would have had
two-Efths of the City Council, and if
they had been in the majority would
have chosen the mayor and general
officers as we'll, virtually giving them
control Of the municipality AS it is
the Liberals will get all or none, and
that would practically have been
the case under an election by districts.
providei they have the most votes.
Under the old law as under the pro-
posed arrangement which has been de-
fe&ted, it is question of votes in the
aggregate rather than by districts. AS
to these the defeat of the district cleo
ton movement makes no difference
whatever. Each party has on the list
all the voters it would have had if the
wards and not the entire city had
elected the alderman and councillors.
The Liberals are claiming a majority,
but when was the time they did not do
the same thing? They have certainly
made the same claim at every elec
ton for the past four years,
aud have regularly suffered defeat.
There is nothing to show that their
claim is any more valid now than it
was in 1887 or 1888. While the registra
ton list has grown, there is no visible
reason to believe that the growth on the
part CT the Liberals has been so extra
ordinary that it has overcome the
Peoples majority. On the contrary,
there is reason to believe that the
People can hold their own, coming out
of the race with their accustomed lead.
THB HERALD confidently expects the
Liberals will want to kick themselves
for having interfered to defeat tn
scheme which would have given them a
representation of two-fitths in the
Council, and thus deprived them of all
representation. We will not be dissp
pointed in this if the People are faith
full to their party and all vote for their
ticket,

THE sULzD SOU III.

General Lengstrees says that within
four wears the Solid South will be a
thing of the past" People do not pay
much attention to the opinion of an
ex-rebel who is so hungry for ottics
that he grovels among the crumbs
which fall from Republican tables,
hence it will concern intelligent people
very little what Longstreet says. In
this instance there is nothing in General
Longstreet's prediction beyond desire
to gam favor with General Harrison,
with the view of getting Federal
Office. One eff.ct of the national cleo
ton last November was to continue the
'solidity" of ths South for at least four
years. The Republican policy and per-
Torrance have ever besn in the direc-
ton of keeping the South solid.
The late campaign was conducted
on the principle that it was essential
the Republican Party's we'll being to
have solid South Republican legis
lation, of which the country will hav.
q surfeit during the coming four years

THE ALARMS rs,

The alarm which some of the partisan
newspapers are trying to excite through.
out the country because this country
has not a. strong navy will not seize
upon intelligent, thoughtful people. To
be sure, in the event Of the immediate
declaration of war against the United
States by a naval power, for a little
while America would be att disadvan-
tage; but not for long. There is enough
of a navy to afford reasonably
fair protection to the most important
seaports for o time, whatever the
alsrmists may say to the contrary.
There is a better navy to-day than the
United states havs ever before owned
at the breaking out of a war, and yet
the country never suffered greatly be-
cause it was not prepared With full
supply OF war ships when hostilities
were declared. In 1861 the govern
ment was practically without ships of
war, but in two years the Union navy
was one of the most effective on the
seas, and during this time the country
was carrying on one of the most ex-
pensive wars the world ever witnessed.
Of course, in the event of trouble with
Germany. it would be more convenient
and in every way better if we had 6
navy with which to at once ad-
minister q sound aegging; but it
would be only little time
hef1re Germany and the world would
be surprised at the strength of the
United States upon the high seas.
With energy, g.nius and money won-
ders can be accomplished in very brief
period, and all these things the United
States possess in larger degree than any
other country. Knowing our great re-
sources and unequaled abilities to do,
our ablest statesmen may be anxious,
but they are not alarmed. Only the
demagogues and the scribblers who
write to fill space see cause for great
fear in the fact that three or four of the
great e Iropsan powers are ahead OF
America In the number and character
of their War shios.

will drive the South closer together,
Just as the legislation of the party al
ways has done. To- day the chief Re-
Publican measure before, Congress, the
Senate tariff bill, is direct blow at the
South, and will have the effect of in
tensifying the political unity below the
Mason and Dixon line. The fact is
and intelligent politicians all know 1t.
that the solid South would be broken
quicker with Democratic administra-
ton than by Republican one.
Quarrels within the Democratic
party rather than the assaults by the
Republican, party, will in time break
the solid South Itwas such quarrel
in Delaware which recently resulted in
the election of Republican Senator in
that State; and it was another such
Democratic quarrel which came near
turning West Virginia over to the
enemy. Both these quarrels sprang
largely from the Democratic national
administration, and neither would have
occurred had there been Republican
in the White House and Republican
maj ority in Congress. In that event
the Democrats of West Virginia and
Delaware would have seen the neces-
sity of standing together to avoid dis
| aster.
In the opinion of THE HERALD the
talk of the breaking of the solid South
before the next Presidential election is
idle, and the trucking assertion of
General Longstreet to the contrary
confirms this opinion.

CHILD LAbOR.

Now Illinois is to indulge in the I'm
wisdom of a law forbidding the en-
ployment in mills aud factories, or at
day labor, of children under fourteen
years of age. The Legislature Is under-
stood to be committed to the passage
of such an act, the workingmen, who
are the voters, having demanded it.
Perhaps it is better that children under
fourteen years should run the
streets and be supported in idle
ness or by crime, than tha'
they should work and earn their
living; but you may gamble on
the boy who works growing into bet
ter man than the one who plays. To
be sure. tie theory is that if the chill
dren are not permitted to work and earn
money they will go to school and get
learning; but that is only theory in
most OF those cases where children
under fourteen are allowed to WORK for
pay. Their parents cannot support
them in idleness or send them to
school, and that is why the little
ones go into the mills and
factories to help feed and
ciothe themselves. Denied this priv
ilege. a good many of them will neces
ssrily become charges upon the state
either as paupers or criminals. But
when ignorant voters command, poll
ticians will obey, and ignorant voters
think that child labor lessons the wages
of men and women, and therefore ought
not to be permitted.

MINERS AND OWNERS TO CONFER

As to whether Business VIII Warrant an
Increase In Wages.
The committee representing the river coal
operators appointed to meet the miners
committee for the purpose Of discussing the
condition of the trade with view to set
tlement of the existing wage difficulty, will
consist of Captain I. N. Bunton, who will
preside, Captain Henry Brown, Captain w.
w. O'Neill, W. N. Lysle and s. L. Wood.
The meeting win be held tomorrow at 1:30
o'clock in 4essrs. John A. Wood & Sons
Office.
1t may be said that the miners have vir-
tually already struck for the additional half
cent increase, for work over the entire dis
trIct has been suspended since formal in
timation of the demand has been made. The
Feeling among the operators points to a de-
termination on their part not to grant the
increase, founded on the low price of the
market, the unusual cost of transportation,
and the unfavorable time of the year settled
upon by the miners to proffer their demand
for higher wages. It was stated by one
prominent mine owner that he would not
object to closing his mines for the next two
months, and he intimated that he would find
it more profitable to do so than to continue
operations at existing prices, much less add
another half cent to the cost of output.
Whether the miners will decide that they
have reason to demand higher wages, when
the condition of the market is placed before
them BY the committee tomorrow, it is i'm
possible to say, but it is thought by those
cognizant of their affairs that they regard
their case as presenting strong grounds for
their present action.

&C. Klussmann, of Derby, England, is a
gentleman extensively connected with the ex-
portation to this country of the higher grades
of iron oxides Despite an import duty of %
per cent he has not made any change in the
prices of his manufacture from what they were
previous TO the duty being imposed. He does
not favor trusts and combinations. and saws
that the competition natural in growing coun-
try will in time cause disruption in trusts of
all kinds. Mr.. Klussmann admitted that a good
deal of English capital has been invested in
breweries here, and expressed the opinion that
some of his countrymen who had invested in
this country would not come out very well in
the end, owing, he said, TO the yearly pro-
gressive tendency of the nation to temperance.
He deplored his inability to obtain a glass of
beer, or even a cigar on Sundays and desired
to know where was the vaunted American lib
erty. In England saloons opened on SUNDAYS
from 1890 o'clock P. N. to 2:30 o'clock to enable
the workingman to get his dinner beer fresh
from the tap, and they were again opened in
the evening from $50 P. NJ. to IL o'clock
"Engiishmen," said Mr.. Klussmann, "are chary
of putting their money into enterprises which
have been dropped by Americans They nat

ANOTHER GUsHER STRUCK.
0OO-BarreI sDOuter Brought In In the
CHARTERS OIL FieId-Ir Started at ~
Barrels Per Hour


A 00O.BarreI sDOuter Brought In In the
CHARTERS OIL FieId-Ir Started at ~
Barrels Per Hour.
The CHARTERS oil field is booming. An
other big strike was made there on Satur-
day. A man named Aiken, who owns a
farm about mile south of the Arbuckle
property, and has been drilling on his own
land, struck it very rich. The we'll started
with flow of about II barrels per hour, and
kept growing stronger. Yesterday q gen.
tleman who returned from visit to the new
we'll stated that it was flowing at the rate of
900 barrels per day. This is as good as the
Arbuckle well, and shows that the field is a
good one.
The new well was visited yesterday by
scores of people from the city and the sur
rounding country. For the time being the
Arbuckle well was neglected, and very few
persons went to see it during the day. The
country is rough one, and the roads are
very bad. The neighborhood begins to pre-
sent decidedly oily appearance. Looking
from the hill Just above the Arbuckle we'll,
new derricks are visible in almost every
direction. On the top of the hill the Ar
buckles have now in process Of drilling a
new we'll. About furlong north of the
flowing well timber is being collected for
another derrick. It is in the orchard near
the farmhouse on the Arbuckle or Jamison
farm. The Gufeys' are drilling on property
south of the Arbuckles, and in the valley
half a mile toward CHARTERS, Robinson
Brothers are preparing to drill. Every
body in that neighborhood thinks that the
field is wide and strong one. The Ar
buckle well was drilled little more on
Saturday, and the oil flowed out with re-
newed strength.

The speak-easy business was playing in
hard luck yesterday in all directions, but
those pounced upon by the strong arm of
the law were small places as rule, although
in one case a very liberal deposit was asked
and paid for the landlady's appearance.
She may be regarded as receiving the fat

Pittsburg whose personal appearance was
valued at $40. About $50 P. NJ. yesterday

four customers, were arrested. The lady
took the arrest, as well as the beer philo-
sophically, saying that it served her right

Mary Shields was interrupted in the mid
die of a moderate business last night at the

ty-third street and arrested with two Gus
toners. An information will be made
against Mrs. Shields to-day. A curious fact
in connection with the speak-easy arrests,
Captain Dan Sylvus says, is that for the
last few Sundays many of the visitors were
in the places for the first time, and proved
such to be the case. The Captain thinks
that the speak-easy proprietors are getting
shy of their old customers or the latter are
getting shy of the police.

MISS DREXEL'S GIFT.
She Purchases Some Property to
Enlarge the Mercy Convent.
NINETEEN THOUSAND THE PRICE.
The, Intention to Buy the Whole Square
Being Carried Out.
A YARD IS WANTED FOB RECREATION

The Order of the Sisters of Mercy on
Webster avenue, this city, has acquired an
other piece of property adjoining their con-
vent. This is another wedge in the opening
made some years ago to purchase the whole
block bounded by Wylie and Webster ave
nues and Chatham and Tunnel streets. The
final negotiations were closed on Saturday
for the transfer of the property Nos. 25, q
and 29 Tunnel street from Mrs. David Reed
to the Sisters. The price paid was $4,000.
It was purchased in trust by Sister Kate
(Miss Kate Drexel), and bv her turned over
to the convent.
Two years ago when the Sisters purchased
the property where the new chapel and
home for working girls now stands, it was
the intention to secure all the property on
the square provided it could be purchased
cheap enough. They particularly wanted
the property owned by ex-Chief of Police
Pender on Wylie avenue, He has two lots
in the center of thesquare between Chatham
and Tunnel streets fronting on Wylie
avenue.
MAY BUILD AN ADDITION.
The price offered was too low and it was
declined. The Sisters had intended to build
an L TO their building on the lots, and have
the convent front on Wylie avenue. Some
day they claim this will be done.
The Sisters now own half the block.
Their two schools are on Chatham street and
Webster avenue. The convent building and
new chapel are on the latter street, and the
new home for working girls covers half the
square on the Tunnel street side. With the
property just purchased they will own the
whole block on Tunnel street with the ex-
tion of the building at the corner of Wylie
avenue, which is ''tied up' in the Siebeneck
estate. The latter had an interest also in
the lots just sold, but dicker was made by
which they were enabled to sell to Mrs.
Reed. The latter then sold it to the convent.
MISS DRExEL's GIFT.
The conditions upon which Miss Drexel
turned the property over to the order are not
yet known. Mrs. Reed is the widow Of the
late David Reed. ex-District Attorney of the
county. 1t is understood that the sale was
made outright to Miss Drexel, but no def
mite information could he obtained about it.
However, it will be given to the order, and
probably next spring it will be improved.
The lots run back from Tunnel street half
way to Chatham. This will give the order
control of three-fourths of the block.
The tenants now occupying the build
ings upon the ground will probably
have to vacate about April L. The convent
authorities want room enough to make a
recreation yard for the inmates of the insti-
tuition, but the piece just purchased is
hardly large enough. It is possible that
the working girls home will be extended
to cover part of this ground and the home
enlarged. The business ofthe laundry con-
nected with the institution has grown to
such proportiens that greater facilities are
needed,

TIE STATEMENT READ.

The Trustees Show That DR.. I. n. Hays
Church Owes n Heavy Debr.
After services at the Central Presbyterian
Church yesterday, statement Of the fnan-
cial condition of the organization was read.
The reading was brought about by the re-
cent resignation of the pastor, Rev. I. N.
Hayes, and the charges made against the
trustees by some of the members of the con-
gregation. The statement, as read, was not
at all favorable, and caused considerable
comment among those present. 1t showed
that there was a mortgage Of 81, 200
against the church property and that, fur
thermore, the church was in debt 1914 "a
November 1, after the pew rents due on that
date are collected. This state of affairs is
said not to be the fault of the trustees, and
they have the support of majority of the
congregation in their position.
One of the trustees said last night that
the congregation had asked that a special
meeting be called for next Wednesday
night, and that such a meeting would be
held. On that evening the trustees will
present q statement covering q period of
several years, and destined to show
whether Rev. Hays was success az q
pastor or not.
The trouble in the church is eaused BY the
strained relations between the pastor and
the trustees, and the congregation occupies
the position of an onlooker, watching that
his interests may not be jeopardiZed by that
which is passing before him.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-11

is reported as saving that this plant would
probably soon follow his mill.
A meeting of citizens of theItwo boroughs
was held last Thursday evening, and the
s.. 600. their share of the purchase money
for the site, was raised with little difficulty.
R.P. Burgou. William Wilcox and Bur
CESS c. A, Willis were appointed COM
mittee to take charge of the funds, and they
will visit the city to-day to have the con-
tracts ratified by all parties concerned, and
then work on the new plant will begin at
once.
There is still auother project on the way
for the valley. The Panhandle Company
has purchased about 80, acres of ground
within the borough limits. 1t is said their
intention is to make Mansfield the terminus
of their freight division, and that large re-
pair shop will be erected. This will give
employment to several hundred more men.
Altogether, with coal at their door, the
Charters gas line on one side of them and
the Philadelphia on the other, the citizens of
the two boroHghs seem to have bright
future ahead of them, and the most jubilant
feeling is prevailing along the valley.
WILL MAKE A FREIGHT YARD.
The ground purchased by the railroad
company lies on the north side of their
present tracks and extends from the depot
almost to the western extremity of the bor-
ough. There are few lots near the station
that are desired by the company to make the
tract complete, but the owners have asked
such prices for them that the railroad peo-
pie refused to purchase them. As soon as
these lots can be bought for a reasonable hg-
ure the company will begin to lay side
tracks. A large freight depot will be erected
and much OF the freight now handled in the
city will be handled there. No through
freight from the South and West intended
for the East will be shipped through Pitts
burg as it can be sent by way of the Ohio
connecting and West Penn roads, with less
shifting.
This plan will increase their facilities for
handling Pittsburg freight, as it will relieve
them of much of the city work. When the
repair shop is built it will add another
boom to the place. More workmen will be
needed and more houses will be demanded.
Real estate is on the advance at present in
both boroughs, and the indications are that
an appreciation of its value will continue
in the valley for some time.
