AN A. p. A. FOR SECOND PLACE.

The \. p. A. is very we'll pleased with
mckinley and has officially declared that
he is in thorough accord with its aims
and principles. One of these principles,
and the only one that affords an ade-
quate motive for secret organization. is
not merely to deny political rights, but
to deprive of the means of livelihood
a considerable number of the citizens of
this country on account of their relig-
ious beliefs. One of the loftiest aims Of
this secret association which has at
tracted public attention was the attempt
to exclude from the national gallery in
the Capitol at Washington the statue of
Father Marquette, the brave French
priest. to whom the world is so largely
indebted for the discovery of the Upper
Mississippi river. If the members of
the A. p A. take pride in such war
fare upon the honored and illustrious
dead, the rest of the American people
have reason to be heartily ashamed of
them.
Not content, however, with the alleg-
ed recognition of its principles by Nc
Kinley, the A. P. A., it seems, is re-
solved 10 have one of its members NOM
mated for the Vice Presidency on the
Republican ticket. We learn from the
Capital City Record, the organ of the
association in Lincoln. Neb., that the
choice has fallen upon John l.. Webster
who is described as a distinguished law
yer of Omaha and an intimate personal
friend OF Senator Thurston. This is the
first instance of a distinguished lawyer
having identified himself openly with
the principles of the A. p. A; for a law
yer without any distinction ought to
know that a secret political order,
known to make a,war upon religious lib
erty. is a deadly enemy of the consti-
tutional principles of this government.
This selection of Webster, who is the
friend of Thurston, who is the friend
of Mckinley, appears to be rather
shabby treatment of Linton of Saginaw,
who had been led to expect the support
of the association in his political am
bition. BY all accounts. to Linton be-
longs the credit of having conducted
the negotiations between Mr.. Mckinley
and the A. p. A. But while the Repub-
licans are quite ready to court the
A. P. A. on account of its real or i'm
aginary political strength, the Republi-
can leaders will not be guilty of the folly
of nominating for the Vice Presidency
any man, no matter how distinguished,
who shall be openly connected with this
secret association. The public mention
of Webster, A. P. A., the friend of
Thurston, as a probable candidate for
the Vice Presidency, has served him an
III turn.

EXPORTING AMERICAN SHEEP

According to the Wool and Cotton Re
porter. the export of American sheep is
getting to be quite a fourishing bust

shipped from New York next Wednes-

Republic. This is but a repetition of
former shipments and. says the Re

abroad for American stud sheep and
suggests a more thorough cultivation of

not only have small shipments of Meri-

Sistersville, w. Va, June 5.-The ac-
tivity shown by the developers out in
the Wick territory is something won
derful. New derricks are going up II
every direction, countless teams going
backward and forward as thick as bees
hauling pipe, tank material, etc., toI
the vast amount of work under head
way and to be done. All the available
lands within a radius Of ten to fifteen
miles has been taken up by the leading
developers in the business, who predict
a splendid profit from the bowels oil the
earth, upon the fact that there is al
ways something for the deserved. All
thosenow holding leases in this field are
jubilant over the big strikes recently
made and think great deal more OF this
pool than any other in this vicinity.
The latest strike, that of the Devon
ian, on the John pullman farm, which
was chronicled in the Register yester-
day. has stimulated work in that imme-
diate locality to marked degree; and
the latest reports from this well are
that it is still holding up wonderfully,
but in course of time it will show de-
crease, as has its predecessors.
The VIM. Stealey well belonging to
the Victor, and which is in close prox-
unity to the pullman No. 3, was report
eG in late last night and credited with
a capacity equal to that of the Devon
ians, but up to time Of writing nothing
further has been heard from this well.
The South Penn got small well at
their A. Seckman location No. 2, out in
the Indian Creek territory, this morn
ing.
The Victor and South Penn Oil Com
panies are going to drill their Nos. 4
and J. G. Smith down to the Big
Injun, and hope for some returns. These
wells are near Hebron.
The owners of the Henderson No. 1,
out near Wick, are highly elated over
the fact that this well is increasing and
is now making nearly 300 barrels per
day.
The Carter Oil Company are still for
warding to New Martinsville material
for a complete development of their
holding in Wetzel county.
The Springer Oil Company purchased
a boiler and appurtenances for use on
their leases near Moundsville.

The Matthews Resolution.

Yesterdays dispatches said that, In
the senate, Mr.. Pugh introduced reso-
luton similar in text to the historical
one known as the Stanley Matthews
resolution for the payment of govern
ment obligations.
Under the Matthews resolution, con-
gress went on record in January, 1873.
President Hayes had sent goldbug
message to congress. John Sherman,
secretary Of the treasury, had backed
the president with a report earnestly
advocating the payment of the princi-
pal and interest of government bonds
in gold. Congress became engaged at
once in the discussion of the financial
question. Stanley Matthews, of Ohio,
who afterwards became a member of
the supreme court-introduced a reso-
luton declaring that ALI bonds of the
United States are payable in silver dol
lars at 412h grains and that to restore
such dollars as a full legal tender for
that purpose is not in violation of pub
lie faith or the rights of the creditor"
This was offered as a concurrent res

ensued, Senator Conkling proposed that
II be made a joint resolution; it would
thus require the signature of the presi-
dent. The senator was aware that the
president had recently conveyed to
congress views that were in opposition
to those expressed in the Matthews
resolution. The senate did not accept
Mr.. Conkling's suggestion. Then fol-
lowed one of the first of the great de-
bates in congress on the silver ques-
ton. Morgan, Thurman, Jones, of Ne
vada. Ingalls, and others took part.
During the discussion Mr.. Blaine spoke
| for a silver dollar that would prove
an absolute barricade against gold
recommendation"
The Matthews resolution carried the
senate and the house. A little later,
both houses passed the Bland bill which
President Hayes vetoed. At the same
time congress provided for the interna-
tional monetary conference that was
held in Paris in 1878 and came to moth

Senator Call is right. He proposes
that the senate take the question OF
the recognition of the Cuban patriots
out of the hands of the committee on
foreign relations and deal with it di-
rectly. At present Mr.. Sherman's COM
mittee has possession of the senate res
olutions respecting the Cuban troubles.
The purpose of the committee has been
to hold back its report. 1t is told that
certain business interests are Juggling
away at the committee in order to re-
tard its action. How long does the
senate want to wait before 1t reaches
conclusions on the merits of the war
which the Cuban's have successfully
forced, after weary months of fight
ing. up to the very gates of Havana?

This action was assumed TO be an in

They have a curious complication I'm
Helena as the outgrowth of the water
company scandal Two aldermen swear
they were offered each $4,000 to act
in the company's interest respecting
matters pending in the city council.
The offer seems preposterous-for

stick to their statement.
The people in Helena have leisure for
the full discussion of a scandal of this
kind. Some of them are laughing at
the testimony of the aldermen-at the
twenty thousand dollar clause in Ii we

From the management of the water
company comes a fiat denial of the
sworn statements of the aldermen.
