AS BAD as ILLINOIS.

WASHINGTON, December 19-United States
Consul General Penfeld, at Cairo, Egypt, has
informed the State Department that new
anti slavery law will soon come into opera
tion in Egypt supplSnting the convention Of
1877, which was found to be defective year
ago, inasmuch that 1t provided no punishment
for the purchaser of slave, but for the
seller only. Another provision Of the law is
the abolition Of the trial by court-martial, and
the substitution OF civil court composed Of
naive and European judges While any Egyp-
tian slave may secure freedom upon demand,
many choose to remain in nominal bondage
for food and shelter.
1t is only short time ago that some
Illinois coal miners offered to sell them
selves into slavery to the mine owners
for a guarantee of food and clothing.
Egypt must be nearly as bad as Illi-
nois If it be true that slaves who might
90 free choose to remain in bondage
for food aud shelter.

ANOTHER SCOOP FOB THE STANDARD
OIL COMPANY.

Since the latter part Of September Col W. G
Irvine and SON, of Exeter, have been drilling
for oil on the farm of p, e, Roller, between
Washburn and Seligmsn. The first 45O feet
was through very hard limestone, after which
% feet Of black shale, heavily saturated with
oil, was drilled through. Beneath that sand
stone has been penetrated, which bears plenty
Of oil, and numerous other wells will be put
down at once. The Irvines have 1900 acres
under lease, and are contemplating erecting
refinery as soon as the territory Is better de-
veloped. For thirty years the seepage in this
vicinity has been gathered by the farmers for
lubricating purposes, but the property has not
been developed for want Of capital:-CassUille
No., dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
The Irvines will probably not erect
any refinery, for if they do the Stand
ard Oil Company will sell refined oil in
their territory for less than it can be
pumped out of the ground in Missouri;
and the railroads will discriminate
against them in freight rates so that
the Irvines cannot ship their oil to any
market. There will be no market on
earth for Missouri oil until the Stand
ard has possession of it. Mark that.

This class is becoming numerous and

This plan Of diversion also possesses

A SUNDAY RELIGION.

Governor Felt preached a very good
sermon in the Sunday ChUmpion, De-
cember 10. If his Sunday religion
would only hold out seven days in the
week he would make a 6rst.class Pop
ullst; but when he sees and points out,
as clearly as he does on Sundays, the
evil conditions of the times and their
causes, and puts in the other six days
of the week supporting a party that
has enacted all the laws under which
these evils have come into being, there
is little hope for him. There is very
little good In q religion that is only
put on exhibition one day In the week.

How very nice it would be if CleVe-
land and his coterie of conscienceless

loans, but it would draw attention from

ONE hundred million dollars for coast

agreeable, no doubt, than questions re-

THERE WILL BE NO WAR.

however mucn our mACnAno pun
ticians in this country may need
war to divert attention from other
things and to teach patriotism, Baron
Rothschild says there must be peace,
and what he says goes. He is well
aware that the conquest of the
United States is being rapidly and
surely accomplished by means of En-.
glish money, and that war between
the two countries would very likely re-
suit in the cOnfscation of English in.
vestments here as q war measure, and
the results of q half century of plotting
be lost. 1t is not likely, however, that
speculative interests will suffer though
the war spirit should be held in check.
The manoeuvers of the money sharks
have already shown substantial re-
suits. New York dispatches of De-
cember 20 contain the following in
teresting statements:

business in New York. In London there was
a wild collapse in American securities from

stocks as New York Central, L. &. N, st. Paul
and Denver & Rio Grande preferred falling
with extreme violence. But the wreck OF
values was not confined to such stocks. New
Jersey, Central, which Is almost entirely
owned in the United States, broke points;
Rock Island, which Is not traded in abroad
broke 81 Missouri Pacific 5, and 80 on
throughout the list. The widest demorallza-
tioI prevailed during this movement, some
purely speculative stocks, such as the indus
trials, crumbling away points bstween sales,

For several years our "public serV-
ants" have been seeking a reasonable
pretext for war. There is q reason for
1t. There is spirit Of unrest abroad
In the land that is very disquieting to
their nerves. Workingmen are dis
posed to demand some rights that are
not consistent with the assumed rights
and privileges of corporations. When
deprived Of work and unable to obtain
food they complain. Some of them
beg, thousands of them tramp the
public highways In search Of employ
ment and q few of them steal. OcCs-
sionally one, bolder than the rest, and
gosded to desperation by what he be-
lieves to be unfair and unjust Condi-
tions, commits violence upon the
person of an American citizen Of high
respeCtsbility. Then, again, there Is
a large class of people who claim that
these things are all unnecessary-thst
they are the result of causes that might
be, and ought to be avoided. They
advocate certain changes in the laws
of the country which are regarded
with disfavor by bankers and corpora
ton and monopoly managers. They
dare to criticize the imprisonment of
workingmen without trial by jury, and
they are even demanding curtsilment
of the powers of the courts in such
things. They complain that laws
enacted seemingly In their interest are
arbitrarily declared unconstitutional.
