ANOTHER OIL COMBINE.
The Standard OIL Company and the Roth

ness Between Them.

The Standard OIL Company and the Roth
chiIds Bave Divided the Worlds Busi-
ness Between Them.
PITTsBURG, PA, March est was
reported here to-day that the Standard
Oil Company and the Rothchilds had
effected combination to control the
Russian oil business, the purpose being
a Lewiston Of the foreign refined oil trade
and the regulation OF prices in the up
ward direction.
According to paper here the deal
was consummated two weeks ago. by
1t the Rothschllds, IL is said, will with
draw from Germany and England
and the Standard from Asia.
The Rothschilds have an extensive
tankage system in England, however,
and they will be permitted to do busl-
ness there at Standard prices II they
can. They will also do business with
China from English ports. "The exact
terms Of the agreement will probably
never be known" the paper
SAYS. at was undoubtedly an
entirely favorabse report which made
the Standard extend its operations 70
such an extent during the past few
weeks that its production purchases
now aggregate fully s1,60O,o00. 1t is
the consummation of this deal that has
prompted the Standard to refuse to sell
New York shippers or brokers any oil
whatever, and to refuse to quote prices
to them. In this connection the adj
vance OF Is points in refined oil in New
York, late yesterday afternoon, may be
considered as OF special significance.

w. w. Evans, one Of the editors Of
the WayneSburg Independent, was in
Washington yesterday moaning on his
way to Moundsville, w. Va. Mr..
Evans states that his town is at present
eejOying an era Of prosperity and
that much building will be in order
this year. The Independent firm has
about completed a substantial building
OF its own, and is prepSring to enjoy
(9) the pleasures OF moving the Office
in:o it. Mr.. Evans is greatly in
terested In the projected Wheeling &
COnnelSyille railroad and firmly be-
lieyes that the route will be via
WayneSburg. He is aware Of the effort
being made by the Prosperity people,
but entertains the opinion that the rail-
road people have made up their minds
about the route. tie predicts that
work will be commenced on the new
railroad this year and quite naturally is
elated over what he believes will be
great impetus 20 all kinds OF business in
Greene county as a result. However he
was cautious enough TO admit that the
project might fall through, as have
other similar ones, but thinks tht d.
rectOrS OF the road mean business this
time. Editor Evans has given much Of
his time 20 the matter and has talked
frequently with leading men connected
with the road.

New Chiefs of Divisions Must Demon

to Which They Aspire.
WASHINGTON, d. c., sMarch 25.-
There are on file In the Treasury De-
partment nearly one hundred appilca-
tions for appointments to chiefs OF divi.
sions. So far no appointments in this
class have been made. Many OF the
applicants have been surprised to learn
that even this class of positions are
within the civil service rules. or par
italy so. The latest Treasury Depart
ment regulations contain the following:
Hereafter no person shall be appoint
ed a chief of division in this depart
ment unless he shall have first satisfied
a board of examiners Of his fitness for
that position provided, that the chief
of the division of appointments, the
chief of division of special agents, the
chief OF the secret service division, and
the chief of the mail division may, In
thu discretion of the Secretary, be APP
pointed as at the present time, without
examination.
The examination for this purpose will
be non-competitive, aud not technical,
and shall be practical in its character,
and as far as may be, shall relate to
those matters which will fairly test the
capacity and fitness OF the person to dis
charge the duties of the soffice TO which
he is to be appointed. The board Of
examiners, for the examination OF such
persons shall be constituted as follows:
The assistant secretary in charge OF
appointments, the chief OF the bureau
In which such person is to be appointed
or the chief OF the division IL the Score

The tanners in the east have formed
a $50, 900, 900 combine. They assign as
a reason 1t is to keep the leather bust
ness in the east and to try to prevent an
Just and indiScrimin0te competition. Is
that all Perhaps so and perhaps not.
AT any rate shoes have gone up ten and
fifteen per cent. That part Of the rea-
son Ia italics above looks innocent
enough on its face, but read it over two
or three times and try to guess how
much mischief and harm can be done to
tanners outside Of the combine and to
consumers generally. Says the com
blne, II you don't join US we will crush
the life out Of you. So you join, OF
course. After little while you are
commanded to shut down in order to slim
ulate the market. You do so and from
fifty TO one hundred men are knocked out
Of work. They may starve for all the
combine cares. The owner OF the tan
merry is placated because he gets his pro-
fit on tho investment and he need do
little else than watch his once prOduc-
tive property pass into decay. But he
cannot do anything. He must Join the
combine or go to the wall.
We had a sample the other day Of
the Locomotive and Firemen's Brother
hoods combining for their rights. 1t
caused considerable inconvenience to
the public and for that reason, it is al
legged, Judges TAFT and KICKS arrested
several Of the promoters Of the strike.
Is not this $50 900 combine much
worse in its sweeping effects than the
damage that the engineers strike at
Toledo might have caused? Many peo-
pie are not compelled to travel but
everyone is compelled to work in order
to earn an honest living, and all require
shoe-leather at a minimum price for
protection and comfort.
Oh, for a Judge TAFT and Judge
KICKS or two TO construe the law so as
to teach these millionaires that others
need live in this land besides them
selves, and that they alone have no quit
claim deed upon all the privileges for
the promotion of health, comfort and
happiness in these United States.

ouR RRICK PAvEMENrs.

A communication appears elsewhere
in this impression calling attention to
the rapid distraction Of our costly
brick pavements by narrow tires on
wagons hauling heavy loads. The
article Is timely. 1t is not overdrawn,
indeed IT does not tell half Of what
might be said in favor of broader tires
for vehicles OF heavy tonnage.
The city has expended several hun
bred tboussnd dollars on her magnif-
heus brick pavsments. They are the
pride Of the town aud the envy Of every
representative Of the other cOmmnni-
ties who has been sent here to inspect
them. How shall we protect them from
unnecessary wear and tear? How shall
we protect our pockets from the cost Of
replacing these pavementS within a
period that is entirely too short? These
are grave matters and deserve very
careful attention on the part Of Council.
Broader tires is one way, and from the
cogent reasons contained in the COM
municatlon, they seem TO be the most
practicable and cheapest way Of doing
it.

Mr. Cleveland WIN Go Slow and Make
Sure of Getting Good Man for Pension
Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 25.-Be-
youd the inward rush Of scores Of place
hunters with their escorts OF Senators
and Representatives there was little Of
interest to-day. The Private Secre-
tary's room was constantly crowded
with Congressman who asked about the
Office of Pension Commissioner and
others. The President said he would
not fill these Offices for some time to
come. He is giving considerable at
tention TO the claims of persons
whose names have been presented for
Pension Commissioner and intends to
20 slowly and surely. 1t is certain that
q number of candidates for the Pension
COmmissionership have already been re-
jected because they did not come within
the requirements OF Mr.. Clevelsnd's
expressed intention to appoint only a
man of established business capacity,
against whoss political reputation the
charge of "bossism" has never been
brought. The candidates for the Com
misSionership are numerous, but the
number is exceeded by the aggregate
OF those who want to be Public Printer.
Tennessee alone has seven candidates
for the latter Office.

A NEW MAREr HOUSE FOR TIE SEQ

OND WARD.
The agitation OF a new market house
for the Second ward is timely, and the
REGISTER believes that majority Of
the tax payers will unite with it in ad-
vocating that that Unconditional, mad
eouate aad dilapidated back number
now defacing Market SQUARE be replaced
by we'll designed, substantial modern
structure 10 which the buyer aud seller
can do business with some degree Of
convenience and dispatch.
How long has it stood there? Almost
seventy years. Has it not paid for it.
self over dozen times, and ought II
not be- allowed to retire from business?
It was a noble structure in its hey day,
and whom the city was less than one
third its present Dimensions 10 answer
ed we'll the purpose for which it was
built. But that day is past. The city
north Of the creek, and the Island, is as
large again as the whole city OF fifty
years ago. The methods Of doing bust
ness now are far different to what
they were then. We must make
the market house more suitable and
contain greater facilities for the
gardener, butcher and every class Of
dealer, il we want TO maintain its pres
tlge and usefulness. Few farmers or
anyone else for that matter, care TO
bring their product to a market where
there is no adequate protection for
either their stuff or themselves during
inclement weather. Neither will Gus
toners inconvenience themselves to buy
in such a market Competition has
made changes necessary in the market
place as much as anywhere else.
What Is wanted is a structure which
will protect one In rainy weather, aud
can be heated and made comfortable ia
cold weather. One section OF it should
be devoted to the sale OF garden truck,
another to the sale Of meat, a third to
butter, eggs, etc, fourth to fish, and
a fifth to snndries. BY such an arrange
ment purchasers would save time and
avoid being numerically jostled and
knocked about by the thrOng, as is now
the case.
There Is another good reason why a
modern commodiouS structure shonld
replace the present one. This city
needs q large public or town hall where
the people can assemble ia mass
meeting or otherwise when desirable.
At other times it could be used for an
armory or for other excellent purposes.
The upper story could be designed and
adapted to such an object with little
additional cost.
