curious fact that the qualifications in
the oil territories of California as con-
trasted with those of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, are almost Numerically different,
and this circumstance led the scientists,
with very rare exceptions, to sneer at
the possibility OF discovering petroleum
in the Golden State. It certainly proved
to be an element of difficulty, and has
greatly increased the cost of sinkin g
wells. The probability is that the con-
ditions under which natural gas will be
developed in California will be as variant
from those OF the East as has proved to
be the case with petroleum. Several
years ago we'll known oil and natural
gas man OF western Pennsylvania said to
the writer, after a somewhat extended
examination OF this section, that he was
satisfied that the city of Los Angeles
was underlaid by natural gas. He added
that if his own business connections
had not been already formed, he would
like nothing better than to come out
here and develop it.

FROM London we are informed that
the American minister. Patrick Egan,
quarreled with Balmaceda, and that the
latter threatened to send him on board
of British man of war. There is
something rather salty in this narrative.
In fact, it has the fresh fragrance of a
canard. If Egan can persuade the in
surgents, nov the controlling power of
Chile, that such was the case, it may
tend to make his lines slightly more
comfortable in Chile, and prolong his
stay in that lively republic. As mat
ters now stand, Egan would appear to
have much to explain.

EMPEROR WILLIAM is constantly crying
out for peace. He acts like the man
who was determined to have peace by
fighting to obtain it. Whilst the emper-
or is iterating and reiterating his desire
for peace, the German people celebrate
what they call Sedan day in most
irritating way. 1t is not at all in the
interest OF peace that the French nation
should be humiliated by the offensive
reminder OF the battle that lost them
two provinces, and the treason of q
marshal of France who could have
averted that disaster had he not de lib
erately betrayed his country.

Gated scientific phrases, that the Emma
mine was true fissure vein of incalcu-

amounted to nothing. and never could
amount to anything. The English IN

SAMUELS, OF KENTUCKY, HAS GOT
THERE.

Thanks to our bull-headeG perverts,
the position of chief of the horticultural
department OF the worlds fair has gone
to Kentucky instead Of California. At
ter our own marplots had, through per-
sonal spite and innate "cussedness'
killed off Maxwell. man entirely and
eminently fitted for the position, there
was no show that any other Californian
would get it. Whoever knew anything
of the conditions Of the fight, and the
elements arrayed against each other in
it must have been born idiot not to
have known that.
The local directory of Chicago yester-
day confirmed the nomination OF j. NJ.
Samuels. of Kentucky, for the position.
Mr.. Samuels has visited our state often
and has many friends in it. We have
before us letter from this gentleman
in which he says:
81 have been in all the beautiful viii
lagos of the Golden state, and have very
many friends among her residents.
California has no greater friend,
or admirer of it's enterprise and
progress, than myself, and should my
appointment. be confirmed by the local
directory her people may rest assured
that every encouragement possible will
be given to the state to make a grand
display Of her products"
These are very friendly and appreci.
ative words, and with them before us we
have no hesitation in saying that, as no
Californian could possibly have got the
position after the execrable behavior of
section of our constitutional mud
throwers, we are glad that it has fallen
into the keeping of Mr.. Samuels, of Ken,
lucky.

A FAITHFUL CAMPAIGN.

Both the great political parties, in a
quiet way, are having great deal of
trouble over the campaign in Ohio. Not
for many years has there been such ex-
citement as now characterizes the Buck
eye state. The issues are over-shadow-
ing. There is now an attempt in certain
quarters to shift the leading issue of the
campaign, which is undoubtedly that of
the tariff. This is an indication of the
racillation, indecision and fear OF the
Republican party. In the Ohio cam
paign the Mckinley bill is distinctively
on trial. When William, of that llk,
was beaten for congress, the universal
Dutcry amongst Republicans was, ''that
settles it. The result of this election
makes Mckinley the next governor of
Ohio" This, of course, was very dd
captandssm way OF looking at things; but
it embodied the confidence of the Re-
publican party in the ultimate success
of the Mckinley bill, when its scope
should be fully understood, and expert
eIsce should have demonstrated it's ex-
cGllence. That was brave talk, and
the people believed it at the time
thaxcis, that portion of the people
which is commonly known as the Re-
publican party. But change has come
over the spirit of their dream; and, to-
day, there are leaders in the Republican
party who entertain grave doubts as to
whether William Mckinley can carry
Ohio. Sherman, Foraker, and all the
leaders of note are in the forefront of
the fray. Unlimited money is at hand,
for the 'fat-fryers" can say to the manu-
facturers: "If you lose this fight all is
lsst,' and the truth of the proposition
flashes out with the brilliancy of
calcium light.
1t does not amount to much If the
Democrats should lose Ohio. That state
has cast its electoral vote against the
Democracy, and for the Republicans,
ever since the Republican party was
organized. Occasionally, but very rare
Iy, in an "off-year," the Democrats
have elected governor. OF the many
Omitted States senators elected in the
lsst thirty years the Democrats have
succeeded in electing Thurman, Payne
and Brice. This is probably III
the ratio of one to fifteen. In
the innumerable governors elected
In the last forty years the Demo
Gratis have elected Allen, Hoadley,
Bishop and Campbell. This is about
the same ratio. All these Democratic
trinmphs have been ON local issues.
A normal Republican majority in
Ohio is about twenty Thousand. 1t has
sometimes run as high as 1O4 900, which
is the majority the Buckeye State gave
Brough over Vallandigham during the
war. If Mckinley only carries Ohio by
twenty Thousand majority. the result
may be fairly called draw.
On the other hand, should Campbell
be reelected governor, especially in
view of the Democratic detection in@the
great city of Cincinnati, where can the
Republicans hope to succeed? The
answer which every intelligent, man
would most surely make is, Nowhere =
McKinley's defeat would let the bottom
out OF the Republican party, aud would
leave Vermont as the only state in the
Union on which it would have a sure
lease.

ADJUSTMENTS.
FAUST.

To give the devil his due, Mr.. Morri-
son is very funny, buffoonish, farce
comedy sort of a Mephisto, but last
evening at the opera house he came
very far from giving an artistic, inn
pressing rendering of His Satanic Males
tv, as depicted by Goethe. Mr.. Morri-
son, when he is playful. brings the
character up to date. He does not say
All there! nor ask Dame Martha where
she got that hat, it is true, but his
phrases and tone in his lighter mo-
ments are strongly suggestive of the
modern farce comedian. In the heavier
work Mr.. Morrison is found wanting in
force and in expressiveness. In. fact,
last night he did not play the part
as we'll as he did here some
years ago. He was warmly received,
however, particularly by the gallery,
and was given call at the end OF the
second act.
The best work of the entire company
is done by Miss Carrie Carter as Dame
Martha. Her acting was easy and ef-
fective, and SHounded with noticeably
clever detail.
Miss Roberts evidently did her best as
Marguerite, and gave the audience the
satisfaction of seeing. conscienJio us
work.
The scenic effects were we'll displayed,
and the electrical and mechanical fea-
lures we're very taking.
