THE next turn OF the screw, to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer, is
the reported coalition between the
Standard Oil company of New York and
the oil trust of Russia, whose principal
works are located at Bsku on the Black
sea. This means an increase of not less
than five cents per gallon on every gal
lon of petroleum used in the world.
There will be division of territory, in
which the United States will lose the
trade of Italy and Greece, and, perhaps.
that of France likewise. Australia will
be supplied from San Francisco, as well
as all the South Sea islands, there be-
ing no competition. The only thing
that can possibly occur to break this
great combine would be the discovery of
petroleum in some part of the coal-pro
ducng region of Australia; and as the
people OF that country have but little
experience in prospecting for oil, such a
discovery is not likely to occur very
soon,

Government Business to Take Prsce-
dsnce la the House Of Commons.
LONDON, May 3l.-In the house of
commons today Sir William Harcourt
moved that the government business
take precedence for the remainder Of the
session, as more time was imperative in
order to hasten the budget. He WAS
unable "a yet to state the governments
intentions in regard to what bills might
be abandoned.
Mr.. Balfour comp lained of Harcourt's
reticence in reference to discussing gov
eminent measures, and said the ihG;--.
leod--is PrUPUrur W aPpTUprlhIo tue Llho
of tue house without stating to what 1t
was to be devoted had caused de-
cdedly unpleasant impression in the
house.
Stern-Karr declared the course pro-
posed was "pure robbery" and moved
that it should not go into force for
month.
Mr.. Redmond opposed Hsrcourt's
motion on the ground that the govern
ment was asking for blank check.
Mr.. Redmond said the psrnellites in
sisted the house should proceed with the
6VlcLbu tonauLb OIL auu Win tIlo CTluoo
act repeal bill. The former, though dis
appointing, was good so far as it went
and the most urgent measure in the gov
ernment programme.
Joseph Cham Derlain declared that
Harcourt's demand was unreasonable
and arbitrary. Samuel Woods asked
the government to state its intention in
regard to the eight hour bill. and Fred
erick @. Morgan wanted information as
to the governments course regarding
the Welsh disestablishm bill. S.r
William Harccurt said he hoped the
government would be able to carry all
the bills mentioned during the present
session, but he was unable to state
which of these measures would first be
dealt with.
Or the appeal OF Mr.. Balfour, Stern
Karr withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Goschen moved that precedence
be granted for financial business only.
This motion was opposed by Sir William
harcourt and was rejected, 258 to 232
the house then divided upoa Sir Will
liam Harcourt's original motion, that
government business take precedence for
the remainder of the session, and 1t was
adopted by a vote of 234 to 2l7. fine
result was greeted with loud Liberal
cheers,

Du Puy's Ministry Launches Forth It's
Declaration of Policy.
PARIS, May 31.-The declaration OF
policy of the new Du Puy ministry was
read today in both chambers. 1t says
the ministers have accepted office from
sense of duty as patriots and repub-
licsns. adding:
1--WE hope that you will assist us in
dealing with that trouble in the midst OF
which we have assumed Office. We are
determined 10 resolutely preserve public
order and to always:secure strict conser-
walton of the laws of the government.
The government hopes you will actively
assist in the democratic tasks which
should distinguish the present legisla-
ture. But it does not propose to add to
the present programme before the house.
1--WE snail give the closest attention to
the questions of old age pensions, and
the practical conclusions OF the commit
tees on this subject will prove that 1t
does not need to become revolutionary
in order to improve the lot of the work
ing classes.
'rhe Chief object of the legislation,
however, will be the financial problem,
as the fiscal reforms which are demanded
urgently by the country cannot be post
poned. In our opinion the fiscal re-
forms are the leading special reforms.
Republicans may differ respecting
the methods, but aot respecting the ends
to be a tanned. and we count upon the
hearty corporation in this task OF all
those who have faith in the work of the
French revolution and the destiny of
popular government.
I'm regard to foreign policy we have
it at heart to maintain the continuity Of
views and relations which, in spite of
political rivalry, have enabled France to
resume a place among the nations.
worthy of her name and history.
Strong in your support. and imbued
like you with national sentiment, we
shall always be watchful guardians of
the interests Of France and the vigorous
defenders of her rights. [Cheers.l
ave shall also be devoted in our
efforts to assist husbandry, and especial
ly wine growers, whose grievances have
elected universal sympathy.
The government has a great task be-
fore it, and we ehall best satisfy the
wishes of the country by resuming the
normal course OF deliberations"

THE grand jury yesterday afternoon
made another partial report, largely de-
voted to the city board OF education.
The board is severely criticised, and the
report charges the majority of the direct
ore with venality and gross mismanage-
ment of school affairs. The grand jury
explains that they have returned no in
dictments against the officials OF the
defunct City bank, because they do not
believe prosecution would be followed by
conviction. The city attorney is COM
plimented upon the general manage
ment of his Office, but the jury says he
and his chief deputy have accepted bust
ness and favors from persons and COR
porations having dealings with the city.

Pacific bank trials in San Francisco, it
begins to look as il the delinquent Off
Gals Of that badly looted concern would
soon meet with severe and impartial
punishment, whether the misguided
depositors ever get back their money or
not. The arrest of r. H. Mcdonald, jr. 4,
and the subsequent indictment of his
father, both go to show that there is a
spirit of justice in the city which has
long lain dormant but is now thoroughly
aroused. Gan we wonder at Coxeyism
or anything else, when men who use
other peoples money in wildcat specu-
lstions and leave their creditors to suf-

THE colored race in ard about Oak
land are in peck of trouble over their
ecclesissticsl affairs. About year ago
the Rev. Mr.. Gray, whose congregation
were color-blind in supposing him to be
black, was discovered to be bad man
in that he carried razor in the pocket
under the armlets OF tne garment which
the eleventh commandment bids US pull
down. So be was discharged and the
Rev. Mr.. Smith was called to the vacant
pulpit. Now the congregation, finding
the new man to be one of peace and
gentleness, are disgruntled at his utter
ances and have requested him to resign,
on the ground that his sermons were
"dry and mechanical" The lack OF
eIoquence in the reverend Gentlemsn's
remarks is said to consist in the fac.

DR.. B. F. LEE of Philadelphia has
just written lengthy pamphlet on tu-
berculosis, in which he condemns the
prevalent practice of sweeping up all the
refuse on public streets and allowing it
to remain in heaps, awaiting the arrival
of wagons to haul it away. He says the
winds blow it about, and the fine dust
is inhaled by foot passengers on the
street, thus laying the foundation OF
tuberculosis. In Los Angeles, however.
there is less OF this to dread than else
where, for the reason that the carts
which haul away the sweepings
always follow closely in the wake
OF the sweeping machines; and
moreover, the work OF sweeping the
streets does not begin till an hour at
which one-half the population is either
abed or in the house for the night. Los
