Eres richness indeed California has
struck oil sure enough this time. Phenome-
nal strikes of petroleum are reported in
Fresno county. For some weeks past two
experienced wellborers from Pennsylvania
have been at work about ten miles north of
Coalings on land owned by San Francisco
aud Los Angeles capitalists. Reports state
that the flow of oil struck by the borers is
in black slate formation, 267 feet from
the surface, which flows out of the top of
the we'll. They went forty feet further,
and have suspended work Ia the rock,
which they say is simply large boulder,
and not bed rock. Agent Craig Of the
Standard Oil Company has visited the we'll
and examined the oil, which he pronounces
50 Dor cent. Work on the well was tenn
porarily suspended in contemplation of a
trade being negotiated between the owners
Of the we'll and the Puenic Oil Com
pany of Los Angeles. This oil is said to be
of a quality superior to anything ever
found on the Pacific coast Natural gas
has also long been known to exist, and the
Los Angeles people have been driving their
engines aud drills by the gas that they have
been able TO eaten as 1t leaked out from
crevices and cracks in the earth. Six car
loads Of machinery have already been re-
ceived. Three large oil tanks, probably
thirty feet in diameter, sush as are used 10
| Pennsylvania oil fields, are being erected.
About twenty owners in all are represented.
| 1t is estimated that the flow will amount to
probably ten or twelve barrels day. I'm
til the tanks are completed and put in place
the oil will be allowed to run down the
gulch. When disturbed the well f lows very
heavily, pouring out oil like geYser. This
is one of ths most important discoveries ever
made in that country. 1t means the addi'
tion of millions to the wealth of the coast.
Certainly California has no cause to COM
plain of the way nature has lavished rich
| gifts upon her golden head.

Postal Service improvement.


Some time ago the MORNING News called
attention to the Postmaster Generals plan
for improving the postal service, ana sus-
Rested that it looked very much Ike pau
! to bring about more thorough orsali%a-
tion of the Republican party. 4Is pau
| briefly stated, is this: The postmaster al 'he
county seat of each county - re4ueSIeu u
visit all the other postoflices 10 bis county
and renort whether the service rendered Oy
them is satisfactory. and, If not, III "ha' re-
spect it can be improved. The county seat
postmasters are requested to DO TINS "ork
without compensation.
It unite evident that very few county
seat post masters will comply with TINS re-
ouest. unless they have political aspirations.
/ In many counties in each state it would
/ take much time and cost considerable for
travelling expenses to do what the Postmas-
fer General desires to have done. And why
should postmaster at county seat spend
time and money in improving the service,
unless be has some hope of reward.
1t might be said, of course, that the
county seat postmasters who do this work
would improve their chances of retaining
their offices, but would they! Did not the
present administration, when it came into
power remove about all democratic post
masters in order to make room for repubi-
cans! 1t seems that the Postmaster Gen-
eral did not think of this scheme for getting
reports relative to the merits of the service
rendered in the different postofices of the
country until about all the offices were
filled with republicans
The county seat postmasters are republic
cans, and they are pretty certain to
make favorable reports about postoHlces in
their respective counties which have re-
publican postmasters. 1t is pretty safe to
assume therefore that the reports the post
office department receives, in accordance
with the Postmaster Generals plan for i'm
proving the postal service, are not valuable.
The Postmaster General wants sugges-
tious as to how the postal service can be i'm
proved. The best suggestion is this: Let
good postmasters, whether they are demo-
Gratis or republicans, remain in office during
good behavior This suggestion has
very little chance Of being adopted as
long as the Republican party remains
in power. And IN view of the anxiety the
Postmaster General is now showing to i'm
prove the service it seems strange that he
found it necessary to consent to the removal
Of so many thousands Of democratic post
masters soon after he entered upon the duties
of his Office The inconsistency between his
recent action and his present profession is SO
glaring that 1t is difficult for very many
TO believe that he is sincere in now attempt
ing to improve the postal service.
However, every genuine attempt to im-
prove the postal service should he encour-
aged and it win be. But the people first
want to know that the attempts at improve
ment are genuine and do not hide political
scheme.

They glance at the clock, exclaim "Holy-

Possibly one Of the most remarkable out
RACES Of late years has just been committed
in Maryland by citizens of Pennsylvania if
reports be true. According TO recent dis
patch from Annapolis Attorney j. J. Lind
say Of Baltimore county recently called
upon the governor of Maryland relative to
the alleged kidnapping at Towson in Balti-
more county of one Albert K. Marshall on
Sept. by two persons hsiling from Penn
sylvania calling themselves A. b. Donald
son and James McFeeley, and carrying him
off into Pennsylvania. They procured
carriage in Baltimore and drove
out to TowsoD, where they forced
Marshall TO enter the carriage and drove
him to Hollidaysburg, where, Mr.. Lindsay
says. he is now confined in jail on no charge
whatever. In dispatch to Gov. Pattison
Of Pennsylvania, Gov. Jackson says: at is
the most fragrant outrage against our laws
that has occurred in Maryland. As requ!-
sltion Is apparently not the proper remedy,
l must call upon you for such relief as you
may find it in your power to afford" Gov
Pattison very promptly replied, saying that
he had communicated with the Holidays
bui X dutuOElJi6S ana was awaiting lDLOEIud-
tion. All developments of the case show a
most violent and outrageous case Of kid
naping. Marshall was local agent or the
4Etna Life Insurance Company, and Dom
aldson, one CT the kidnapers, is alleged to
be the general manager of the company
for Pennsylvania. Marshall was prevented
while Ia the hack from making out
cries by physical violence on the part Of the
abductors. They drove to Lutherville,
where the train was taken. Whenever the
party would stop to inquire the way, and
Marshall would try TO tell of the wrong
being done enc of the party would clap his
hand over Marshalls mouth and prevent
him from speaking. That they went there
for the purpose of kidnapping Marshall, is
indicated by their registering under false
names at the hotel where they stopped in
Baltimore. Attorney General Hensel of
Pennsylvania is now investigating the mat
ter. 1t is certainly q matter that calls for
prompt investigation and very vigorous
action thereafter.

Since a large number of people have
lately been killed by the collapse of rickety
old buildings the New York building in-
spectors have stopped chasing the horse
races around the circuit and lounging about
saloons long enough to look about little,
and their unwonted activity hiss been i'm
mediateiy rewarded by finding many tot
tering buildings that have been standing on
the same sites and in the same perilously
insecure condition for years. These they
have duly pronounced unsafe. But if they
had taken as long TO get away as they did to
discover the condition Of the structures the
buildings would probably have fallen on
them and put Tammany Hall TO the trouble
Of finding some new men for promotion.

LAKE has wonderful tempering effect on
the climate. Thus, according to NJ. Forel, the
quantity of heat accumulated in the lake OF
Geneva during the summer of 1889 was equal to
that given off by the combustion of 81 600 900
tons of coal, or the amount carried by a coal
train ,120 miles in length. The greater part of
the heat is discharged into the air of the valley
during the cold season, thus producing milder
temperature in autumn and winter.
