words in emphasizing the contrast
1t is too glaring to escape the notice
of the most careless reader.
1t is not that the Democratic com
mitteemen are all bad, or the Repub-
licans all good. 1t is that the vast,
overwhelming majority of the Demo
cratic Representatives" are toughs
and heelers, who have neither honor,
intelligence, or standing in the COM
munity; while, on the contrary, the
vast majority OF the Republicans are
men who do their party credit.
1t is time for the State Democratic
organization to interfere and help turn
the rascals out.

Oil Field Notes.

\ number of oil producers held meet
ing in Pittsburg last Thursday for the pur-
pose OF discussing the late decision of the
Supreme Court relative to the leasing Of
property. The producers claim that the
Courts decision is making them liable for
Matchmaking schemes, and one case was
cited where a land owner has presented
bill of $ll20 for rent after the land was
given up as fruitless. The meeting ad-
journed to again convene at the call of the
chairman, and it is generally thought that
a uniform style of lease will be adopted by
all the producers.
