THE NEW OIL WELLS.

The strike of 1,000-barrel well in the
Montour oil field, reported in our local
columns, is another important increass of
Pittsburg's petroleum resources. With
gusbers of various sizes from 400 barrels up
to !, 900. coming in from variou. points of
the compass, the probability of the exhaus-
ton of the Pennsylvania supply of Pc
troleum does not seem at all imminent
The value of these additions to our natural
wealth is very much mitigated by the fact
that there is little competition in the pur-
chase of the oil for refining, and consequently
every such strike as that at Haysville or
Montour exercises depressing effect on the
market. IF the producers can revive COM
petition In refining, so as to make it as
active as it is in producing petroleum, by Sc
curing the location of independent rein-
cries right in the field. the prosperity of the
interest can be made much more permanent.
This can be done by laying pipe line to
the seaboard for the transportation of export
refned-which will cost much less than q
pipe to transport a corresponding
volume of crude-and using the rivers
and railroads to distribute petroleum
to the domestic trade. Properly organized,
such an enterprise in the center of the Pitts
burg field ought to permanently throw off
the woke of the Standard from the petroleum
interests

OUR LICENSE COURT.

UN1oNrowN Republic: One OF the tricks of
the Pittsburg trade, IS developed in the license
hearings, is to feed customers on salty soup to
make them drink like fish.
TOLEDO Commercial: The license law seems
to operate successfully in Pittsburg. The Off
hand independence of the License Judges.
viewed from this distance even, is decidedly
refreshing.
WASHINGTON Post: The Judges of the Pitts
burg License Court have decreed against free
lunch in the saloons. and also that the liquor
dealers must not extend credit to their custom
ers. If this thing keeps up, the Pittsburg
saloon keepers will be driven to offering
chromos with each drink.
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin: The License Court
at Pittsburg has indirectly warned saloon
keepers that they must not give free lunch.
The argument against the lunch business is
that food induces hungry men to go to saloons
and drink. If the abolition of the free lunch
could be made general the saloon keepers
would rejoice over it as much as the License
Court; for the setting out Of variety Of food
daily on their lunch counters Is one Of the
heaviest items on the saloon expense account.

the victims OF the disaster fully cared for, is
a credit to the Southern city. The loss of
life proves to be much less than was feared,
the total so far being only 76. That is large
enough to take rank as serious calamity,
and the destruction of property increases the
loss to total that must be very heavy for
single city to bear. 1t is matter on which
the people of Louisville have a right to take
some pride, that they have cared for all the
sufferers from the disaster without outside
help. 1t is now stated that the amount re-
quired to aid those who need help in re-
building will be somewhat beyond what can
be raised in that city alone. The charita-
bic of other cities will be prompt to con-
tribute to such purpose. Pittsburg's bust
ness relations with Louisville should make
her among the foremost to offer aid for that
work,

POINTS OF IMPORTANCE.

The circular of some OF the railroad coal
operators, with regard to the proposed rate
of wages, puts some very important points
very strongly before the organized miners.
The questions that are raised there are such
as cannot be ignored with full justice, either
to labor or capital.
1t has long been recognized in these col
umns that uniformity in wages as between
the different districts would be great ad-
vance on the present state of affairs. But
unless the points referred to in this circular
are covered, the uniformity will be a pre-
tense and a delusion. So long as certain
operators are able to deprive their workmen
of percentage of their wages BY under
weight in their credits for coal mined, or of
another percentage by charging excessive
prices for forced purchases at the company
store, the payment of the same rate as COM
panies who pay for full weight, in cash,
will be anything but uniform wages.
The claim that employers who pay full
wages honestly shall be conceded a different
position from those who have no check
weighmen and run "pluck-me" stores, has
much strength. These evils have justly
been the subject of the greatest complaints
among the miners. The present seems to be
the time for striking a blow for their aboli-
tion.
With the policy pointed out by the cir
cular, it certainly appears that the miners
have as much power to, wipe out those
methods of cheating them of their earnings
as to establish a 80 cent rate for mining.

BALLOT REFORM IN RHODE ISLAND.

NEW YORK World: The returns of the
Rhode Island election s how that there has been
no choice tor Governor. The Australian ballot
system was pretty thoroug hly tested and nearly
everybody is satisfied with it.
NEW YORK Times: The ballot law of Rhode
Island, which was first applied at the State
election on Wednesday, is in many respects far
less simple and effective than that proposed for
this State in he Saxton bill, but as the law
now stands ballot reform has secured new
triumph in Rhode Island.
PHILADELPHIA Press: The Australian bal
lot system has now been tried in State elections
in Massac husetts, Montana and Rhode Island,
and in each instance it has shown that it pos
sesses all the advantages claimed for ii. Its
success in these cases will encourage its ad-
vocat es to urge it upon the Legislatures of the
80 s tates that have not yet adopted the reform.
P PHILADELPHIA Record: The Rhode Island
election shows onclusively that the objection
raised to the secret ballot because of the delay
it necessitates at the polls is entirely illusory.
Undoubtedly. there should be five polling
places where there is one in Providence; but
even under the disadvantageous condition of
an overcrowded poll the Australian system has
again vindicated the good policy of its adop-
ton.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS.

The address of Mr.. II. W. Kratz before
the State Board of Agriculture on the SUBJ
ject of country roads, which is published
elsewhere, puts in a striking form the ad-
vantage of thorough system of max
ing solid and permanent road ways.
Mr. Kratz uses large number of illus
trations to establish his point, but all
of them are summed up with the statement
that raising of our roads to the standard of
those in England would, with the same
number of horses engaged in hauling, ac-
tually double the amount of the work that
could be done; while bringing all the roads
to the Telford standard would take one
fourth of the horse power now required.
The necessity of educating the public up to
the value of good roads is shown; and it is
for that purpose that The DISPATCH lays
the address before its readers.

KICKS A La Russo,

The students at the st. Petersburg q nj
versity gave very discourteous reception
to Lieutenant General Gresser, Chief of the
st. Petersburg Police, when he tried to
pacify them the other day. They threw
him on the floor and kicked him. Possibly
they wanted to see if the true Tartar was in
him. Kick Russian and you will find
the Tartar as a rule. 1t was somewhat
novel treatment no doubt to Chief of
Police. In Russia the police usually do all
the kicking. The Gar seems to fear that
the students might apply the same radical
remedy to him, and has ordered that all the
universities in the Empire shall be closed
for year.
1t is resctionary po licy with vengence
that the unhappy Gar is adopting. Clos
ing all the colleges will not put the students
out of existence. 1t will not incline them
to keep on singing "God Preserve the
Gar" which anthem they sang after kick
ing the Chief of Police, just to show that no
personal offense was meant to their Imperial
ruler. The chorus of the Nihilists is more
than likely to be swelled by many OF the
young men cut off from their studies.
How long can this state of things 60 on in
Russia? 1t is all very we'll to kick Chiefs
of Police, send threatening letters to the
Gar, and protest against the existing sys-
tenn of government in all sorts of childish
ways, but it is not time that the Russian
people shook off despotism? The measures
of the oppressor are desperately silly.
Think of shutting up the universities be-
cause the students ask for reforms in the
management
There can be but one end to all this. The
sooner the revolution comes the better.

A Hnrd One Certainly.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
When the Queen OF Sheba having heard of
the wisdom of Solomon, questioned him with
hard questions he answered them all, but
doubt very much if he could have answered
such query as was propounded by {. E. w.
in the DISPATCH in regard to the political
leaning of the soldiers in the last war.
Two million seven hundred and fifty thousand
men were called out by "Old Abe" of which
number the good old Keystone State furnished
366000 and the "State of Allegheny" 10000. OF
the vast majority OF them it may be said: "On
fames eternal camping ground their silent
tents are spread"
They sleep their last sleep,
They have fought their last battle.
No sound can awake them to glory again.
But as TO their politics. that is certainly q
very preposterous question for anyone to ask.
expecting to get an answer thereto Anderson
vile and Salisbury prisons contain 5000 un-
known graves of Northern soldiers; yet the
Black Hole of Calcutta and the blowing up of
the Sepoys from the cannOn's mouth by the
English was Christianity in comparison to the
treatment of our soldiers in the prisons of the
South. l shall await with great anxiety an an

A GUARANTEE WANTED.

The question of the coal rate to the lakes
is announced to have been settled yesterday,
BY fixing ninety cent rate for the Pittsburg
districts. and an eighty-fve cent rate for
the Hooking Valley. This will be salts
factory settlement if it is adhered to in good
faith. There is no better reason why the
Hooking Valley mines should have an ad-
vantage of five cents per ton over the Pitts
burg interests than there is for levying the
same amount in taxation on Pittsburg coal
and giving it to the Hooking Valley opera
tors. But it is burden which Pittsburg
can stand, and if there is any guarantee
that the burden will not be greater, the
Pittsburg interest will be satisfied to carry
it for the sake of an assured basis of opera
tions
But what is the guarantee that the dis
elimination will not be greater? Exactly
the same agreement was made last year, as
regards the amount of diferential, and it is
now known that, when the shipping season
got fairly under way, the Ohio roads in
creased the diferential, by rebates, to 25
cents per ton. The Central Traffic Associa-
tion, which bases its very existence on the
profession of preventing just such discrimi-
rations, and the sum total of whose princi-
piles is that cutting rates is the mortal sin
against which the united railroad interests
must fight, permitted this violation, alike
Of its professed and its real principles, to go
on without word of protest What is the
tangible assurance that the same thing will
not be done this year? The only explana-
tion of the failure of the Central Traffic As
sociation to interfere is to be found in the
fact that the interests of influential corpor-
ate magnates in the Hooking Valley mines
kept the pool officials quiet. The same in
fuences are likely to be at work this year,
so far as can be seen at present.
1t is stated that the Pennsylvania Com
pany will, it the system of rebates is re-
newed, take the course of putting down its
rates independent of the association. It is
to be hope that it will. When the combi-
nation neither enforces the public principles
it processes or the pooling ethics that it
really maintains, it is time for the railroads
to conduct their business on their own basis.

Each Number of The Dispatch a Monster
Magazine of Choice Productions.
From the Washington Review and Examiner.l
We do not one whit exaggerate the merits of
THE DISPATCH when we pronounce it one of
the best newspapers in the United States. All
its departments are full and complete, and
every issue of it gives evidence of the intelli-
gent and harmonious working of its editorial
and publishing force. Its editorials are well
written, unbiased and replete with sense. and
its news columns take in the whole wide range
of current events. We may mention the wonder
full growth and popularity of the Sunday edi-
tion, which has attained bona fide circulation
of considerably over $4,000. The matter selected
for the lite rary columns of the mammoth 20
page Sunday issue is supplied by scores of con-
trlbutors of the highest merit and reputation.
Each number is monster magazine of choicest
pen productions, as well as an accu-
rate and exhaustive chronicle of cur
rent news. The special cable letters
and the sporting and business reviews
are also attractive features of the Sunday issue.
1t is a newspaper for the people and the homo
circle.
The daily issue of THE DISPATCH, which
has ever maintained the lead, will continue to
offer the best things going in the news line. Its
reliable market reports. vast news-getting ma
chinery (including leased wires to all the prin-
cipal points with bureaus in the chief cties),
and its earnest. progressive and independent
policy have earned for it national reputation.
