The birth of a great industry-the
production and marketing of petrole-
um-will be described by Prof. j. 5.
Newberry in an article on 1.-The First
Oil Well" in Hsrper's Magazine for
October. When, about thirty years
ago, the great oil wells of western
Pennsylvania were opened, it was gen.
orally supposed that crock OIL" as it
was called, was a newly discovered
material. But the Pennsylvania wells
we're by no means the first. Professor
Newberry traces the history of petro-
leum back to remote period of an
tiquity, and shows not only that it was
commodity known in certain Asiatic
countries thousands of years ago. but
that the deposits in western Pennsyl.
vania were probably known and util'
lied by prehistoric people.

The Baltimore Journal of Commerce,
discussing the financial situation. as
based on the proposed tariff legisla-
tion, says:
''It is pleasant, after months of the
widest guessing and irresponsible as.
sertions for political effect, to have a
clear-cut, concise statement of the eff
feet of past and pending legislation
upon the finances of the country by
those familiar with the subject and
responsible to the country for its ac.
euracy and results. An income of
$3.50, COG, 900 and a total expenditure of
$4ll 900 900 does not look like deiic-
it, bu. leaves almost margin enough
for the kiekeTs to renew the cry of
surplus. 1t has been mystery to
many plain business men how duties
could be raised, the surplus swept
away and the income of the govern
ment reduced by the operation to a
800, 000, 900 deficit, and it could not
be made plain by ordinary business
logic. The situation seems clearer
now. We find by Senator Allison's
statement that the tariff has not only
been reformed, but reduced as well.
the amount of reduction amounting to
$50, 500, 343. Tie amount of reform
consists of 38 articles which have been
taken from the dutiable list and put
on the free list, and Is free articles
have been put on the dutiable list, so
that with both reform and reduction
and still surplus we rest content,
proud of our country, its resources and
power, and happy beyond measure
there is no deficit, for busted gov.
eminent is byword and an abomina-
tion."

In the Editors Easy Chair" of
Harper's Magazine for October, Geo.
VIM. Curtis will present some pleas
ant reasons why we should regard our
own time as the best of all possible
times. IF 1t were not so, Nature
would deny to each generation and
every man the opportunity which she
granted to all their predecessors. If
the Golden Age seems always to be
far behind. that also is but gentle
device of Nature to stimulate US by
the happy inspiration that what man
has done man may do-and more"
