Silver and Prices.

The silver miners want free coinage
to put up the price of their product,
The farmers want it to cheaper dollars.
1t cannot do both. If, as the silver
miners contend, free coinage would so
advance silver as to make the bullion in
a silver dollar worth 100 cents, then the
silver dollar would be as hard to get
and as costly TO the farmer as the gold
dollar is now alleged to be. One or the
other class of free silver advocates
would be disappointed in the results OF
free coinage.
Again, the most numerous class OF
free coinage advocates consists of men
who think that the.so-called demoneti.
zation of silver depressed the price OF
farm products, and therefore that free
coinage would enhance such prices

The Courier-Journal Speaks It's Mind.
The day after the Kentucky primaries
the Louisville Courier-Journal said edi-
torially:
''They (the democrats) have repudi-
ated the only president the democratic
party has elected and seated for so
years. They have repudiated the most
distinguished of Kentucky's living sons
and the greatest democratic intellect in
the United States. They have spit upon
the fathers of the party whose name
and organization they claim, have pro-
claimed Jefferson an ignoramus, Jack
son a conspirator, Benton knave and
Cleveland a traitor. For the faith
handed down through 100 years of glo-
rious party history they have substi-
tuted fad rejected by every intelligent
civilization on the globe, and for the
exponents of that faith they have sub
stituted such apostles of populism as
Stewart, such eXhorters of socialism as
Tiilman, such evangels of anarchism as
Altgeld. Saturdays work makes Ken
tucky republican for years. Before Sat
urday Bradleyism was dead, but Satur-
day made it possible for any republican
to carry Kentucky over party which
binds itself to the corpse of free silver
ism. The one thing now for Kentucky
democracy is that the Chicago conven-
ton shall not ratify its stupendous
blunder, and that chance seems all too
remote"

The Glass of Ninety-six, Marietta High
School, Bids Goodbye to schooldays.
The class of '96, NJ. H. s., will go
down in history as one of the very
noblest of the forty-six that have grad
uated from the old institution on
Scanned Street Hill. The number is
unusually large, there being twenty
two in the class at the close of it's
career as class, and among whom
were three,young men.
There were gathered at the Auditor
ium over eleven hundred Mariettians-
relatives and friends of the young men
and women who were starting on life's
fitful voyage. The house was not only
tremendous one, but interested and
enthusiastic as we'll, as was demon
strated by the close attention and APP
plause.
The essays and orations, and there
were sixteen of them, were uniformly
good, though of necessity short. There
was very little of the standing with
reluctant feet etc.. in the sentiments
displayed in the efforts, but most of
them were Just good, hard, practical
essays, abounding in common sense
and good English. 1t was remarkable
too, how sprightly the graduates all
appeared, and how well they spoke or
read their lines.
The girls of course all looked charm
ing in their cool costumes of white;
and banked at the footlights were
almost enough flowers for season.
Not small attraction, too, was Arm.
Odds orchestra, which fairly outdid its
tuneful self in six fine numbers
Judge Leeper, President of the Board
of Education, presented the diplomas,
and made a splendid talk to the young
men and women,
The members of the Board sat in a
box on one side of the house, and the
High School instructors occupied box
opposite.
The instructors in all our city grades
the Board of Education and best of all,
our citizens must feel large pride in
knowing of such educational attain
ments as were displayed by our com
mon school graduates last night.

IN THE OIL FIELDS.

Sistersville w. Va, June 11.-Bun-
nell x Work are putting up an engine
and boiler on the Schauwrecker farm,
down at st. Mary's, today.
The Kanawha Oil Company are put
ting in the casing at their well on the
Griffin farm, ont at Wick.
The South Penn Oil Company are
erecting two rigs on the Alex. Flesher
farm, out in the Wick pool, and will
commence spudding as soon as they are
completed.
The Devouian Oil Company's Nos. 3
and on the Spencer farm, in the In
dian Creek district, still maintain the
estimated output of 40 and 80 barrels
respectively
Parties coming in from the Viola
we'll yesterday reported that when just
above the Big Injun sand Wednesday
night, another misfortune came to this
company by a large cavern taking
place. BY this the tools were left at
the bottom and the manager found it
necessary to send to Colerain to get
tools to recover those lost A strong
flow of gas was issuing from this well,
and experts report the prospects excel
lent for a good we'll. 1t is thought
the tools can be recovered in two or
three days and drilling resumed.
The Campbell Oil Company, compos-
ed of Wheeling parties, have started
their third we'll on the Lewis Boyer
farm, on Cats run, near Powhatan, o.
The tools were lost in both of the wells.
Experts who have examined this loca-
tion feel certain that good we'll will
be struck aud a fine oil field developed
there.
The old we'll on the Sttt farm, near
Glencoe, Belmont county, O., has been
cleaned out and new casing will be
put in This well, it is now discovered,
was only dug six feet into the sand,
and produced about nine barrels per
day. 1t is believed that there will be
more oil if the sand is penetrated deep
er, and this will be done.

year. The commissioner believes this
should be further reduced to about
three or four months with new meth

MCKINLEY is a lucky man in having
friends friends in need. A few years
ago he was made a bankrupt by en-
dorsing for neighbor, but friends raj
lied around him financially and made
him comfortable by the use of their
own money.
When he entered the race for nom
ination for President it was said he
was too poor to suceeed-that he could
not meet the expenses of the campaign.
But 1t appears that he has more money
than anybody. His nomination seems
inevitable. 1t was said that he would
be strongest in the East, where the
rich manufacturers expected to be
made richer by his protective policy,
but he is as strong in the South as he
is in the East. and in the South it takes
the longest kind of purse to reach the
carpet-bag and negro delegations.
The men who have Mr.. McKinley's
campaign In charge are millionaires
now, but they will be multi-million-
aires if he succeeds and his high pro
tective policy prevails. MIR. Mckinley
as the tool Of a syndicate viii be dan
gerous man at the head Of the govern
ment, and the masses will find him so
when 1t is too late il they succeed in
elevating him to that high position.

UNUSUAL attention has been attract
ed to the Republican Convention OF IlIi-
nois for variety Of reasons, some OF
which have had to do with the aues-
ton Of candidates, and some with the
attitude OF the party in that State on
the monetary question. The couven-
tion adopted a plank which declared
that the Republicans of Illinois are
emphatic in their demand for honest
money, that they are opposed to any
and every scheme that will give to the
currency in any way deprecated or
debased value, in any respect inferior
to the money Of the most advanced and
intelligent nations OF the earth, and
that they favor the use OF silver az
currency, but TO the extent only and
under such restrictions that the parity
with gold can be maintained. ID was
thought at one time that the Illinois
Republicans would present the name
OF man from that State for the Pres
idential nomination, but the conyen-
tior declared for candidate from an
other State whose marked success In
the conventions seems 10 point TO the
prominence OF protection as an issue In
