NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The election of Harrison has
not benefited single working -man tc
the amount of nickel.-Louisville
Courier Journal.
john G. Whittier agrees with
James G.. Blaine in one thing. He
| thinks all old letters should be burned.
Still he was not in the habit of put.
ting postscript on them to this effect.
Detroit Free Press.
One thing can be relied upon:
Foraker will accept any thing that
Harrison has to offer. Nor will 1t
make any difference whether the offer
is made on a silver salver or with a pair
of tongs Chicago News.
The death of the elder Mumm
recalls Senator Evarts' comparison Of
the administrations of the silent Grant
and the teetotaler Hayes. In the
former" he said, sit was 'Mumm's cab
met but ours is extra dry '"--Phila-
delphia Times.
The race question is by no means
a simple problem. But the Southern
whites will attend to it, and in the
best way-as nature has ordained.
When white mans government shall
crumble in the Gulf States, the North
will share the Southern danger.-Chi-
cago Herald.
If Colonel Dudley be innocent
of the grave charges preferred against
him he should go to Indiana and meet
his accusers and put them to shame.
His failure to do so tends to confirm
the general belief in his guilt; and the
outcry raised at Indianapolis and else
where over the appointment of
prosecutor who would prosecute is
tantamount to confession.-Philade
phia Record.
Steel nails to-day cost $27 ton
in the United States and $1S in En-
gland. The SO difference is not paid to
American working-men, but to Ameri-
can millionaires, and comes out of the
pockets of farmers, wage-earners and
producers generally. This is how our
blessed tariff works, and why the Car
negies and their like are so anxious
that it should be maintained-'for the
benefit of working-men. ."-Indianapo-
lis Sentinel.
The South -haters of the North
are forever charging that the Southern
people are guilty of intimidation.
Now, the only cases of intimidation
that have occurred in this State were
those of colored Democrats. who were
threatened or maltreated by Republic
ans of their own race. Charges Of the
prevention of voters in this city from
casting their ballots were brought, but
when the examination of witnesses be-
fore the United States Commissioner
was made it was proved conclusively
that only by challenging and through
questioning were many minors and
many OF those who were disfranchised
for va rious ofrenses prevented from
unlawfully casting ballots. Richmond

enlightened intelligence to solve aud sottle the
Issue forever,
REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Ono of tho Results of the Recent "High
Protection victory"

Ono OF tho Results OF the Recent "UIgh
Protection victory"
A special dispatch from Troy, N. Y,
says: "The knitting-mill owners OF
the Mohawk Valley and Cohoos have
announced reduction of fifteen per
cent. in wages, beginning January l..
There is very little doubt that other
mill men and factory men, following
the example of the knit goods manu-
facturers, will cut wages."'
The closing down of mill or the
reduction of wages previous to No
vember 6 was ascribed to "tariff
tinkering," and the Democratic party
was unjustly assailed in that regard
by every monopolistic newspaper in
the country.
Now the same journals are as mute
MS so many mice when the wages of
working-men are reduced and indus
trial establishments 'shut down for
an indefinite period" They told
the people that the election of
General Harrison meant "pro-
lection to American labor" but
how working-man is protected by
having his wages cut down or by be-
ing entirely deprived of employment
is difficult to understand. 1t is cheer
ing to know. however, that the INTEL
ligent wage-worker was not misled to
any great extent by the misrepre-
sentations Of the campaign liar.
Those who were deceived doubtless
know by this time that a vote against
honest tariff reform was vote for
that sort of protection which cripples
industries, fosters monopolies and
wrings unnecessary taxes from the
pockets of the toilers into the bar
gain.
The working-men will also be able
to sec more clearly that the Jarretts
and Litchmans who strove to preju-
dice them against the Democratic
party, and went among them to
preach tho DEVILS gospel of "pro-
tection," were not only false prophets
but missionaries of evil. Their oc-
cupation's gone, SO far as intelligent
working-men are concerned. = Har-
risburg (Pa.) Patriot.

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY.
The Transfer of tho Industry from Per
sylyani2 to Ohio.

The Transfer of tho Industry from Penn-
sylvania to Ohio.
The supply of gas seems to be abun-
dant although rumors to the contrary
are being circulated. The largest sup
ply well in the world was recently
bored near Findlay. Ohio, producing
$4,000, 900 cubic feet of gas per diem,
the largest one in that vicinity hereto
fore producing 15,000,000 cubic feet.
Astonishing and valuable discoveries
have been made recently in the line of
making gas from crude petroleum that
bids fair to become a rival of natural
gas as regards expense and utility. II
is claimed by several parties that they
can produce it Mt q cost of from one
to three cents per 1000 cubic feet and
to prove their good faith one of these
companies has recently purchased a
gas plant in one of the Ohio cities and
has contracted to furnish the city with
gas for five cents per 1000 and this
plant is to be running within the next
80 days. Chicago capitalists are con-
nected with this enterprise. The sue
cessful manufacture of fuel gas from
crude petroleum would become i'm.
mensely valuable to custom manufac-
turers and those of points remote from
large fuel supplies.
There appears to be q difference in
the quality Of natural gas as there is in
crude petroleum, the sulphurous ele-
meut varying in quantity with the diff
ferent localities and the extent of its
injurious oxydizing effect on the con-
fining valves is yet to be ascertained.
There are millions of gallons OF Ohio
oil stored in tanks which as yetar not
available for illuminating purposes on
account OF the excessive quantity of
sulphur it tcontains. The Pennsylvania
oil containing a smaller quantity OF
sulphur is readily and easily separated
into several valuable articles OF use but
the great affinity of sulphur for the illu-
minating oil in the Ohio crude oil
creates an obstacle which is as yet in
surmountable. At one refinery several
hundred thousand dollars have been
to purifying the Ohio oil, but as yet
they nave Deen unsuccessful. This oil
is at present used chiefly for fuel pur-
poses.
There is no great reason to doubt the
decline of the oil wells of Pennsylvania,
and the general transfer of the indus
try to Ohio. The daily production of
the Pennsylvania and New York fields
has fallen from 100000 barrels, to A.
000barrels. The rich fields along Oil
Creek in the vicinity of Bradford are
nearly dry, and the land is being
reclaimed for farming purposes. The
Ohio fields must become the center OF
the petroleum industry. Many prac-
tical men assert that tho State can give
a daily yield OF 100000 barrels. Men
are at work every day removing the
tanks to Ohio soil. Cor. Albany IN

Bridesmaids carry flower muffs in

throat to ankles.
Tailor-made empire gowns are still
in vogue for street wear. The bodices
are warmly lined so that it is unneces-

One of the new Partisan importa-
tions is an elegant opera cloak. 1t is
of emerald-green velvet, lined through

. GENERAL CLUSERET.R
a Man Whose Life nistorY Reads Like
That of Bar Munchausen.

That oil Baron 4MunchauSen.
Probably no living man can boast of
career more wildly romantic than
that of General Cluseret. the recently
elected Deputy to the French Assem-
bly,. A true sketch of his life would
belittle the adventures of the Baron
Munchausen, Cluseret proved himself
brave and brilliant soldier on many
fields. He served in Africa, in the
German war, in the Italian war, in the
war of the rebellion in this country,
and in the fighting of the Paris Com
mune. He was a war correspondent
under an assumed name during the
fighting in Egypt. Several OF his let
ters appeared in the Sun, in which he
denounced Lord Wolsely as military
humbug, and the movement on Tel ell
Kebir as a marche instead OF a march.
His eligibility is now questioned on
the ground that he is an American cit
izen. He contends that in 1870, when
he returned to France to fight the Ger
mans, he became once more French
man, and went through all tho legal

other hand it is said that there are
some legal formalities which he neg

barred out by the code. In the third
volume OF his Memoirs he says: "If /

my military services in Africa and in
the Crimea the title of Frenchman, l

a citizen was not smothered under the

hope, when public esteem will not be
measured by the number OF crosses and
metals on uniform, but upon the
number of nationalities acquired for
services rendered"
Cluseret is certainly an interesting
follow, and doubtless we will hear
from him again before long.-M Y.
