Preparations are now in progress for
drilling a well on Fluharty's run, a trib-

miles east of here. This will make the
third wild cat well drilled in that imme-

A series of experiments is going on
in London which cannot fail in their
development to attract worldwide
attention. When the London county
council was organized a few years ago,
it was SAID that the effect Of creating
this body would be to give the radical
members of society opportunities which
they had never before enjoyed OF
practicing their theories upon "a broad
scale.
The municipality Of London is both
the largest and richest city in the
world, embracing within It's confines
all the classes and conditions Of society
and work OF pOHticO-sOcisl reform
undertaken there is played On the stage
where, in the opinion of the Bos ton
Herald, it canuOt fail to command
universal attention. A number OF the
cities of the United Kingdom, notably
Birmingham aud Glasgow, nave made
decided progress in the path of social
reform, by meaus Of which the munic-
ipaI government has taken control
Of number of semi-publie services
and has carried them on in an emil
uenJIy successful manner.
But London has hitherto made small
progress in this direction, chiefly be-
cause the municipality was, until
recently, divided iuJU number OF
neutrality-suspicious. political commu-
mites, and it was Impossible for any
one of thess-eyeu Tor the corpora ton
OF the city Of London as iC is calIsd-to
carry Oh public work on - cOmpTehen-
sive scale. Apparently the county
council proposes 10 make amends for
past deficiencies by proceeding upon
work Of pOliJicO-sOcial evolution in a
decidedly radical manner.
One step that is nov proposed Is to
obtain possession by purchase OF all the
tramway lines in the city, and 20
extend and improve these AS the public
needs may require. Besides tins, the
county council has in view the laying
out Of several broad thoroughfares
/ through certain coEgested parts Of the
metropolis as a means Of relieving the
pressure Of travel put upon existing
stTseta,
Another change likely soon to be
made is the acquisition Of the gas and
electric companies that supply the city
with light. 1t VIII be noticed that
these proposed improvements are quite
similar to changes that have been sug-
gested as falling within the line Of
municipal reform Ia this country.

THE OUTLOOK.



That the world is Oh the eve of vast
changes i'll social economy is seen by all
observers and thinkers. The money
conference at Brussels simply emphu-
sizes this fact.
The truth is, the people of the world
are staggering alOng under all the debt
they Can bear. The profits of industry
and enterprise go largely into the
strong box of the money lender. III
terest OH loans OF governments, on all
sorts of bonds, on mortgages and dis
counts on current bank paper, ali have
tObe pRld before any money can be used
by him that makes it. In Europe the
governments are fairly staggering under
debts, and taxation has about reached
the limit of Industrial ability to pay.
In France a crisis exists growing out
of a loan to a corporation by she peo-
pie, and almost a panic impends in
Germany because of au increased ex-
psnse for the army. IN England the
farmer class are clamOring for protec-
ton to the grain and meat they pro-
duce-LO avoid bankruptcy. And in
this country Of unlimited resources and
virgin margins the fact that half our
| money is a commodity cripples every
thing-eveH money lending.
1t is = suggestive commentary upon
our system OF economic civilization
that our hope fer escape from disaster
is mainly based on the misfortunes Of
Europe. Ii only s war were to break
out involving all Europe, then Ameri-
Ca would make money. And that is
about all we have gained in civiIiEa-
ton. 1t is the law OF might over
again-proHt Ouly at the expeuce OF
| some one else. such a state Of things
among millions of people who can
read and think as well as those who
rule them, cannot remain the normal
| condition OF civilization. Why shoald
the people Of Europe Or America suf-
| fer Inconvenience that the money loan
er may have the biggest profit. In the
markets Of Europe to-day the wheat OF
India has eight cents a DusheI- advssn-
/ tags over tie wheat of America from
tie price Of silver alone. III 1892 this
/ fact in amy country Of Europe would
have led TO war if needed to get rid of
it, Aud it is just as IuJoIerable HOW.
We use this simply to illustrate one
phase o. the situation. II will not 80
