One feature of the convention OF ke=
nnhIican league clubs which was held IN
cincinnati. last week, has either entirely
escaped the attention OF our esteemeu
southern Democratic free trade contem-
poraries. or failed to impress them WIN
its sicuificance. We refer to the presence
of the unusually large number OF white
delegates. tmay not perhaps be war
rantable to predicate upon this TACT the
ASSUMPTION that there is very consider
allie change in the relations OF the white
voters of the south to the republican aud
democratic parties, respectively, but
there is certainly good reason for seeking
the cause of the phenomenon. For one
tbing. the race question has nothing 10 90
with II. The southern white man, whether
a Renublican or a Democrat, Is as mucn
onposed to negro ascendancy to-day as ne
ever was.
The cause of the change, in our Judg'
ment lies IN the completely revolution

creasing every day. lhueeu; Nouu'Ilu
as has been the change in this respect
during the past ten or fifteen years, it Is
mere 6agatelle compared with the easily

TO recognize and acknowledge the great
share that the policy of protection has
had in bringing about this altered state
of affairs and it is not unreasonable 10
assume that many who have hitherto
trained with the Democratic party, per-
ceiyinr the worse than folly of free trade
as advocated and urged by Cleveland,
Carlisle, Mills, WattersOn ct ID genus
omne, and the inevitable and disastrous
check which its capitalization into
national policy would exercise upon the
industrial development of the south, have
cnt loose from such leadership and cast
their fortunes with a party which, though
in many respects not in sympathy with
their ideas, proclams and pursnes policy

A Wnll q. Mile Deem.

WHEELING, w. VA, April 24.-One OF
the most important scientific explorations
into the depths of thu earth ever under
taken will be carried out near Wheeling,
under the JOINT auspicies of the Unitea
States Government and the city of Wheel
ing. Some months ago the Wheeling
Development Company begun drilling
a well near this city IN search OF oil OF
gas, following the theory of the State
geologist, Prof. l. G. White, OF the state
University, that oil or Gas would be iound
| if the well was only sunk deep enough, 1t
was determined to bore so far as possible.
The hole has already reached the depth oil
A. 100 feet. within 500 feet of the deepest
we'll in the world. In this distance
dozen thick veins of coal have been pass
ed. oil and gas both struck, but not IN
paying quantities gold, quartz, iron ana
many other minerals. The hole Is elght
inches in diameter, and the largest IN
diameter Of any deep well IN the world.
Yesterday, Prof. White, who has watch
ed the work with interest, arrived from
Washington, d. c., where he had been to
confer With the officers of the Geological
Survey. He succeeded in getting the
Government interested in the exploration
and the result is that the hole VIII Ut
drilled Immediately to a depth OF one
mile. Then the Government will take uI
the work under the direction OF two ex.
pert officers of the Geological Survey and
drill into the earth as far as human SILL
can penetrate.
Tie idea is to take the temperature and
magnetic conditions as far as possible
and by means of an instrument construct
ed for the purpose, complete record o.
, the progress and all discoveries made Will
he kept and will be placed In the
Geological Surveys exhibit at the World
Fair and afterward preserved at Wash
ington. Prof. White and the Govern
ment officers say this will be the most
novel and important exhibit IN the Fan
and will attract the attention of the
scientists Of the world.
