Sistersyille, January 9th. The pres
ent severe cold weather has interfcrcd
TO a great extent with oil develop
ments. There is n general shortage of
gas, and water pipes have become
frozen up. a numbo of wells have
been due fer the past few days, but
they were either shut down for day
or two or the drilling in has been re-
tarded by the cold weather. AS soon
as the weather moderates little there
will be flood of reports from the field.
Among the wells that were due are
several that were looked upon as com
ers.
Henderson & Co. have leased part of
the Stewart farm and will commence
two wells north of the Calebaugh.

is down close to the Big Iujun," and
should be drilled in in few days.

81 Am Not A Democrat

On March II, 1896, the Hon.
William J. Bryan declared, in a
speech at Mount Vernon, HI. u am
not Democrat
1t was true. He had been spout
ing free silver and coquetting with
populism for two years or more.
He had induced the Nebraska Dem
ocrats to endorse the Nebraska Pop
ulist State ticket in 1898. He was
not at that time q Democrat, and
he was frank enough to say so.
This young Populist, nominated
upon Populist platform, is 10 more
a Democrat now than he was, by his
own admission, last March. Why
should any Democrat feel himself
bound to vote for man who was
ostentatiously proclaiming four
months ago that he was not Dem
ocrat?-N. Y. Sun.

BrYan'S SpeeCh.

To read in cold type Bryan's
speech at Chicago puts one entirely
at a loss to understand the effect
produced. 1t has been described
as the "greatest speech of the cen
tury," one surprising in every way
anything that eyer fell from the
lips Of James G, Blaine, Roscoe
Conkling, Col. Robert G. IngersoI,
or Bourke Cochran. We simply
cannot comprehend this. No one
can read the speeches of Blaine.
Conkling, Ingersoll, and Cochran
without strongly heightened pulse,
no matter how little the reader
may be in sympathy with the orator.
They utter great thoughts in mar
yelously forcible, felicitous Ian
guage. Their sentences linger in
the mind like strains Of music.
And when we the think of these be-
ing uttered by men Of wonderful
personal magnetism, with lifelong
training in oratory. we can account
for the effect upon their audiences.
But Bryan is not happy in formu-
lating sentences and epigrams; he is
far from logical; his English is very
ragged, and his speech a rehash of
vapid and misleading generalities
with which the people have become
tiresomely familiar. Much has
been said of the influence of the per-
sonality Of the orator, but though
Mr.. Bryan is very good-looking
young man, with full and pleasing
voice, his presence is hardly to be
compared on the same day with
those of Ingersoll, Blaine, Conk-
ling, Or Cochran.

"VOx POpuii. el


Bryan's passion for Tx has at
last infected the reticent Jewall, land
he is now boastiLg abo1k the way
|'the silver ranks are growing daily
stronger. Naturally enough, he
has to take up the Vox populi Del
idea. He says:
The Democratic party has decided
that the trouble lies III the financial
system, and that the Remedy is re-
monetization of silverA The people
haye decided the same way, and
what they want they Twill have, and
no one can help it. What the peo-
pie want is right, aeH cannot be
otherwise. ScA
Sewall is of no particular conse-
quence, but some newspapers in the
east that ought to know better talk
as though they were little shaken
in their conviction that free coinage
would be a bad things by the fact
or, rather, the allegation-that "the
people" in many sections want it.
Garfield made some remarks on this
subject in an address on "g'he Flu
ture Of the Republic" delivered at
Hudson, o., July 2, 1875 which
are very appropriate to 1ao present
situation. Speaking of the danger
of beng deluded into security by
political catchwords, devised to flat
ter rather than instruct, he said that
we had happily escaped the dogma
Of the divine right of kings, and
ought not to fall iGto the equally
pernicious error that multitude is
divine because it is a multitude. He
recalled the warning of DR.. Francis
Leiber on this eubject: "Woe to
the country in which political by
pocrisy first calls the people al
mighty, then teaches that the voice
Of the people is divine, then pretends
to take a mere clamor for the true
voice OF the people is divine, and
lastly gets up the desired clamor. "
Garfield proceeded;
"This sentence ought to be read
in every political caucus. 1t would
make an interesting and significant
preamble to most of our politlcaI
platforms. 1t is only when the
people speak truth and justice that
their voice can be called "the voice
of God .

1t will be impossible for him to see

they would be just as hard for him
to get as they are now, and the

MONEY TO THE FORE.
Senator-EIect Wellington Outlines
the Plan of Campaign.


BALTIMORE, Nd, July 30-Sena-
tor-elect Wellington spent a few
hours this morning on his way home
from New York, where he had gone
to attend the conference of Chair
man Hanna and the other leading
Republicans of the east. In con-
versatlon with reporter at the Car
rollton Mr.. Wellington said; "The
New York meeting was highly sue
cessful in every way. The reports
heard from the several parts of the
country represented were extremely
encouraging, and all present felt
that the prospects OF the campaign
were very gratifying. My impress
sion is that in the conduct Of the
general campaign the financial ques
ton will be pushed to the front and
tariff and other issues subordinated.
That such will be the course adopted
in our Maryland campaign | can
state authortatively. We expect to
poll a large vote of sound money
Democrats, and out of regard to thelr
low tariff proclivities all allusion to
protection will be, as far as it may
be possible, vigorously excluded.
We feel that we cannot afford to af-
front our sound money allies. Then
after all, every Republican really
feels that the tariff has no place in
this campaign, although he may be
just as stronga protectionist as ever.
The preservation of the national
credit should be the watchword, and
high tariff oratory will be not only
intrusive, but product Of poor
Judgment"
When asked about the situation
in Maryland, Mr.. Wellington re-
piled: Il believe that our electoral
ticket will be triumphantly elected.
| have reviewed the entire field care
fully during the last few days, and
am glad to believe that any defec-
ton from our ranks because Of free
coinage sentiment will amount to
nothing. We will retain our full
vote, and in addition will be rein
forced 10y Il heavy sound money
Democratic vote. In fact, from
what | can gather, feel sure that
the Maryland Democracy will suffer
detection of at least % per cent.
Of its voting strength, and if we get
q fair proportion Of these boilers,
Mckinley and Hobart will carry the
State by between 10000 and 80, 600
majority"

An Object Lesson From Brazil.


Brazil now rejoices in the same
system of government paper cur
rency that the pseudo Democrats
and Populists demand in their twin
platforms. Thirty years ago the
people Of this country had their full
experience with that kind of cur
rency. But Mr.. VIM. NJ. Iyins, a
prominent citizen of New York who
has Just returned from Brazil gives
an interesting description of the
working of the system IN that coun-
try. He says that exchange fuctu-
ates between o and 10 pence, and
that every man that buys or sells
dollars worth of goods does it sub
ject to the risk Of this fuctuatlon.
As a consequence, there is little or
no stability. As exchange goes
down, prices 60 up. The price of
commodities, Mr.. WINS says, are
even more than three times as high
as they were in 1888 and 1889.
On the other hand, the wages of
labor have not risen IN any such
proportion. Mr., WINS says that
labor does not realize more than
half as mach again in Brazilian
currency as it did five or six years
ago. At the same time the people
have to pay IN the same Brazilian
currency three time as much as they
ever paid before for the cot
ton cloth out of which they make
their clothes, for their -four, and for
the manufactured goods which they
bring from the United States and
England. The conclusion of Mr..
WINS is that the workingman is the
first and chief sufferer from this
system. while no one derives any
advantage from it.
Such has been the fate of the wage
winner at all times under a debased
currency. There is no escape from
it. The workingman is doubly the
victim IN that his wages do no rise
except as the result of a struggle on
a strike, while the prices of all the
commodities which his family con-
sumo mount at a frlghtful rate.
Whilst it is the manifest interest of
American workingmen that they
shall be paid for their labor in the
money that will command the most
of the necessaries and luxurIes of
living, the Populist demagogues seek
to persuade them, to their injury,
that the best thing for them is a de-
preciated currency, with q crippled
purchasing power. The strangest
thing is that many workinglnen are
deluded with the sophistrles and
humbugs of the Populist creed,

Two Distinguished Boilers.

Two notable boilers Of the Chi

Bourke Cochran and William r.
Grace. These distinguished Dem

Mr.. Cochran has just returned

the result of the Chicago conven-
ton before he left the other side
and he employed his time while
sailing home in considering the
situation and the best way of deal
ing with it. His statement is a
long one, and it is not necessary to go
into it in detail. He regards the
situation as "the gravest IN the
history of the country" "This
is a question of morals as well as
politics" 81 decline to follow
Mr.. Bryan in a crusade against
honesty and the rights of labor. +"
"In a contest for the existence of
civilization no man can remain

fences, and are earnestly common
ded to voters whose actions are
controlled by principles.
Mr.. Cochran is opposed to a
third ticket, and gives these as his
reasons: 81 do not believe that the
nomination of other candidates

Ex-Mayor Grace's letter speaks
from personal experience with the
silver standard countries of South

business relations with them, and
he discusses the serious effect the
adoption of the silver standard
would have on wages. His conclu-

Of the Philadelphia Recerd, and
also candidate for Presidential
elector on the Democratic ticket,
is rakIng the cause which he repre-
sents fore and aft, and is doing his
level best to snow himself under.
One of the readers of the paper is
somewhat puzzled by Mr.. Singerly's
peculiar course and has asked for
an explanation. Mr.. Singerly's
reply is:
What,we suppose our friend wishes
to learn is: How Mr.. Singerly
would vote in the Electoral College
If he should be elected an elector
from Pennsylvania? Mr.. Singerly's
answer is that he would vote for
Bryan and Sewall. He would be
bound in honor to do so. But as
Mr.. Slngerly will not be elected an
elector he will not have to carry
out the obligation.
There are many peculiar compli-
ca tions appearing in this campaign
and this is one Of them. We do
not think there is much doubt
that MIR. Singerly will defeat him
self by an overwhelming majority.

Not Finance, but Robbery

To the Editor 9th Republican.
If man takes a piece of steel
worth Is cents and makes of it
watch springs worth 500, that is
skill.
If he takes piece of paper wroth
two cents and writes on it a poem
that sells for $50 that Is genius.
If he takes farm worth s. an
acre, and by his labor and know
ledge puts it in heart again and
makes it worth $50 an acre, that
is work.
If man takes q hammer worth
60 cents, and IN a days use Of it
earns s1.83, that's hard work.
liza man buys a yearling at a
trotting sale for $15 that in its
three-vear form develops ability to
make a mile at 2:064 gait, that
is judgment.
If a man buys silver mine he
has never seen, and it makes him
a millionaire, that's luck.
If a man buys an article to-day
for $3.50 and sells it to-morruw
for $3.50, that's business.
But when a government takes
SO cents worth of silver and coins
it into a cart-wheel, and says legisla-
lively that tits 100 cents, or a dol
lar, and pays it out as such to Gre
ditors, that is not finance, but
