Still Talking.

So far as we have observed, Mr..
Bryan since the election has said just
one thing worth saying, and apparent
ly he did not mean that. In his mes
sage of congratulation to Mr.. McKin-
ley he made this Acknowledgements:
s'We haye submitted tlIe issues to the
American people, and their will is law"
but his subsequent utterances create
the conviction that when he SO de-
clared himself he was merely striking
an attitude in the expectation that the
applause which he necessarily Graves
would be Forthcoming.
More and more conclusive is the evil
dence that vanity is the instigation of
his words and acts. Many Of his most
serviceable supporters in the recent
campaign are saying, through the news
papers which they direct or otherwise,
that the free-coinage question has been
settled for the time being, if not finally,
and that at least for the present the
country wants rest. But Mr.. Bryan
declares that the fight has just begun,
that he proposes to make the pace con-
tinually hotter, and that rest is the one
thing which the country shall not be
permitted to have. The tactics to
which he resorted in the campaign he
is still employing. He wants all who
can be induced to listen to him to be-
lieve that the American people. to
whom the issues were submitted and
whose will is law, did not make free
and honest decision, but were manipu-
lated by powerful and brutal agents OF
fraud and oppression. One of his lat
est speeches, directed at the President
elect throughout it's most noticeable
paragraph, and most of all in the SEN
tence disclaiming any personal appli-
cation, was a crafty insinuation of the
meanest accusations which he stopped
to utter while electioneering for him
self.
We have said that this was crafty
insiruation, but we withdraw the ad
jective. An act or utterance is moi
really crafty which is SO only in inten
tion. To deserve that characterization
it must be fitted, as well as meant, tc
accomplish its object. Otherwise it il
not crafty, but stupid. Unless the
signs are all at fault, great many
persons whom Bryan fooled completely
see through him now. In his recent
manifestoes they recognize, not an un
selfish summons to sustain cause hon
estly believed in, but deep persona
dread of oblivion. In such call there
is no inspiration, excepting as it may
inspire disgust. We judge that this i:
the chief effect which the defeated
candidates protracted loquacity is hav
ing upon his late supporters.-New
York Tribune.

H. Clay Emmett, young cowboy
from Bolton, Tex, reports a singular
find made by him during cattle-hunt-
ing roundup in the Panhandle coun-
try recently, says the Denver Field and
Farm. The find was nothing more or
less than petrified pony, standing
erect and complete in all its parts. En-
NETT says that he and his partner, B. c..
Weodville, were riding across the prai-
rie late one afternoon when their tired
ponies neighed and whinnied as if they
were aware of the presence of another
animal. Looking around, they discov-
cred what they thought was broncho
tethered to a mesquite which crowned
the summit of little knoll to the north
ward
They rode up to the spot and found
that the horse was fastened by a
chain, but stood so rigidly and seemed
altogether so mysterious that their own
horses reared and plunged as if in
fright. Finally they dismounted and
found that the pony was petrifled, not
n hair or hoof amiss. Emmett says
that some ranchInan years ago must
have chained the poor horse there, leav-
ing it TO starve upon the plains. AS the
ribs of The animal were plainly visible
in the petrifaction and it seemed to
have been otherwise much emaciated,
this is probably the case. Emmett will
arrange to have the strange find ex.
hibited in some museum. 1t frequently

of going to sleep while standing, and il

OIL Notes.
OIL MARKET,

The well which the Forest Oil COM
pany is drilling on the farm OF VIM.
Bedell, a few miles from Finleyville,
in Washington county. Pa, has reach
ed depth of 5000 feet This makes
It the deepest we'll in the world, and
the end Is not yet. Heretofore the
deepest well has been at Pottsdam,
Germany a depth of $500 feet having
been obtained there. The Forest Oil
company are engaged in thorough
test of this territory for oil, and an
nounce that they will not stop short
of 5000 feet, unless they find oil in
paying quantities sooner, or some ac-
cident occurs which will render deeper
drilling impossible. The progress now
is naturally slow, the greatest difficult
ty being in drawing the tools and
nearly mile of rope out of the well
when it becomes necessary to pump
the hole out. They usually drill two
"towers" of twelve hours each in the
twenty-four hours, making it necessary
to draw the tools twice day. Forty
feet day is the most they are able to
accomplish, and they do not average
that. Sand from all the strata pene-
trated, is being preserved in bottles
and q very careful record of the opera
tions is being kept. This promises to
be a very famous hole in the ground.
