THE democracy of Ohio have met,
nominated state officers, resoluted
and adjourned. The force of political
farce could go no further than has
been reached in their platform. Its
rebuke of the republican party for
violation of the civil service reform
laws; it's acknowledgment of a great
debt of gratitude to the union soldiers
and its declaration in favor of liberal
pension laws are among the rich
things contained in the platform. OF
course it denounces third term and
the state legislation passed under re-
publican rule. All the same the de-
mocracy won't get there and their de-
nunciation of trusts will not pull the
wool over the eyes of those who do
not intend that Ohio shall be run by
Standard Oil.

THE Chicago press committee for the
Worlds exposition of 1892 has sent its
circulars on two separate occasions to
the LIGHT setting forth the reasons
why Chicago should be selected, and
asking the opinion of this journal. In
its issue of July 9th the LIGHT took
strong ground in favor of the national
capital, Washington, because it is the
national capital, and because only
under national direction could it be-
come truly a national affair, and be-
cause it was important that it
should be national and not local as
would be the case were it held in
st. Louis, or Chicago or New York.
1t is not a question of location, or Of
ability to provide for the people mere
ly. This worlds exposition OF 1892 is
to celebrate the four hundedth ami
versary of the discovery of this conti-
nent and it is an affair in which all
the nations of this continent are in
terested, and 1t must be made ma.
tional affair to secure such interest
and cooperation. The LIGHT is of
opinion that outside of the ma
tional capitol the exposition Of
1892 should not be held.

VIRGINIA has cut her democratic
majority very low, but the state is dem
ocratic as truly as Ohio is republican
and the chances are against Mahone's
election. There is a difference, how.
ever; Ohio is growing more and more
certainly republican and Virginia
grows more uncertainty democratic.
1t is therefore much more probable
that the republicans will carry Vir-
ginia than that the democrats will
carry Ohio. Free trade platforms
may tide more than one southern
state over into the republican ranks.

THE 'Cronin trial has commenced,
and the securing of a jury Is in pro-
gress. The defence objected to the
appointment of the assistant prose-
cutors asked for by attorney Longne-
cker, but the objection was overruled.
There will be no unnecessary delay
as the state IS prepared for trial.
The interest in the case is intense
and will grow from day to day as the
trial proceeds. The manner in which
the trial is involved with the Irish
societies will make the case celebraG-
ed on both sides of the water, and
Ireland land American alike will
watch It's progress with intense inter-
est. England also, with her in sane idea
that America is the Matching ground
for plots against the British govern
ment will follow very closely
the progress of the case to see what
ground for such suspicion she can
find in This trial. Apart from the
Nervousness of the crime and the APP
parent lack of all personal motive,
both of which would invest the trial
with Importance, the alleged compile
ity of the Clan-na-Gael i'm the murder
will make it assume semi-national
Importance. Add to this the local
personal interest in the murder and
its attending circumstances and the
trial becomes one of the most noted in
American criminal annals.

PRESS COMMENT On SAMOA.
The Germans Trying to Let Them
selves Down Easy.

BERLIN. Feb. 25.--The iSeriin P9ss
reprints an article from the Weser lei
tssng on the Samoan question. and re-
marks that in many respects the views
therein taken are correct. The article
in question rejects the superstition
that the government came TO terms
with America. owing TO Germany's
position in regard to France, and says !:
Neither under the present nor under
any other circumstances would Ger
many have risked a rupture with
America for such a bagatelIe The
Samoan white book shows that wher-
ever the actions of German officials
we're repudiated, il was because the
officials acted contrary to interna-
tional law. The press criticisms evoked
by the white book were almost en-
tireiy directed against the excess of
zeal displayed by the German agents,
who appeared TO be lacking in the
statesmanlike discretion necessary in
dealing with the situation in Samoa
The reports show an endeavor TO make
German annexation or protection APP
pear necessary. After stating that the
conflict December Is might have been
avoided had the German consul taken
more literally his instructions, which
were that he should not intervene, bat
in the event of Tamasese' ability to
hold his ground, he should support
negotiations between Tamasese and
Mataafa.
The Weser Zcistaq continues:
Whether Mataafa's people were led
by an American or not is of no conse.
quence, as the American government
cannot well be made responsible for
the action OF individuals. The Ger
man consul, however, by his action
undoubtedly burdens his government
with such responsibilities. The con-
trast between the attitude of the con-
sui and the government is shown by
the white book, and therefore is
easily explained.
The Cologne Gazcfte, violently attack
ing the Ffeisiasice Rcsse, repeats the
demand for punishment or extradition
of the American Klein as common
criminal.
The North German Castle publishes
a map of the Samoan islands, study
OF which, IL declares. leaves no doubt
of the preponderence Of German in
terests in Samoa

HE STRUCK OIL.
Career OF Millionaire John Me
Kecwn, OF Pennsylvania.

new I OK h1dp1lc.
The wealthiest oil producer of Penn
sylvania is John McKeown, who lives
at Washington, Pa. His figure is set
at$s ,o00,oo He is an Irishman who
went from Castle Garden direct to the
oil regions. He arrived there during
the early excitement on Oil creek in
1864. He had no means, and went
to work at 81 day as a laborer. His
employer was grading tor oil-weil der
ricks and tanks, and McKeoyn ham
died the pick and shovel for months.
Then he took q contract OF a similar
kind, at which he made money enough
10 buy an interest in a small wei.
His riches did not come in a burst
but slowly and only through hard
work and careful investments. From
Oh creek he went 10 Bradford In the
early days OF that development. and
there be was wonderfully successful.
His operations there were mostly on
the rich Bingham lands, where every
well was q success He left Bradford
very rich man and went to Butler
county, buying a small farm not far
from Martinsburg. Although a small
tract, this was one of the most prolific
in the great Butler field, and Mr. Me-
keown realized another fortune here.
During this time he was making care
ful investments. mostly real estate, in
Pennsylvania and the west, and these
investments, so far as Is known. have
all realized handsomely. Indeed none
OF Mckeown's friends can point 10 any
considerable investments of his that has
not been a good one.
