BUSINESS is dull. Men are waiting.
Capital is timid. Enterprise halts.
But the real spectators of the country,
the men who stand the great risks as
betters stand to political managers,
are the chaps in Wall street. They are
the men who discount the future, who
risk hundreds of thousands on the
events of the future. Do you notice
that Wall street markets have been
firm for more than a month Have
you observed that lowest prices were
made in the early part of August
These sharp dealers can make money
whether the market goes up or down.
1t is their business to forecast. That
is what they are doing today. And the
stock market tells the story of the COM
ing November even better than the
betting ring.-Com. Gaz.

Foreign and Home Markets.

George B. Curtiss in his book, PRO
lection and Prosperity" gives the tar
iffi history of every nation on earth.
His object is to see just how much
there is in the cry for foreign markets.
He concludes that part of his work as
follows:
Over 800, 900, 900 people in Europe are
not only preserving and maintainin G
their home markets, but are Cutting
every market on the face of the globe
with every conceivable commodity
made by the handicraft of man. Every
port in the world, every warehouse is
filed with articles from their factories
offered for sale at prices which furnish
small reward for capital and but a
scanty return for labor. These are
the conditions under which the United
States is asked to contest for foreign
markets. Never in the history of the
world has it been so difficult for the
United States to maintain it's wage
rate and the comfort and opulence of
their people under free competition as
today. The very fact that European
countries are undermining the indus
trial life of Great Britain aad that her
industrial centres are filled with alarm
and her manufacturers and artisans
crying out with distress, makes the
the proof doubly strong that if the
United States should let down or re-
move her protective barriers every in
dustry would be closed, every wheel
silenced and every laborer thrown out
of employment There is scarcely an
article made in the United States but
that can be made cheaper in some other
part of the world. AS long as this sit
uation remains, the only hope of our
industrial prosperity lies in the perpet-
uation of the policy of protection.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, H., was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr.
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr.
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San
Francisco suffered from dreadful
cold, approaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured
He is naturally thankful. 1t is such
results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy of
this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

THINGS MIGHT BE FAR WORSE.
workingmen Would Suffer More Under
Free Silver.

Free silver.
1t is frequent excuse OF unthinking
men for leaning toward free silver that
''things can't be worse than they now
are"
This is q mistake. Matters can be
very much worse, especially for the
workingman.
First.-They would be worse if wages
were paid in 53-cent dollar or in dol
lar worth less than 100 cents. How
ever it may be with mine owners and
mortgage debtors, men whose capital is
their labor are not interested in having
the purchasing power of their dollar"
diminished.
Second.-Things would be made
worse for the 1,732,3s2 savings bank
depositors in this state alone if their
S715,032, 500 of savings were made pay
able in deprecated dollars.
Third.-Things would be worse for
the nearly 100000 pensioners if their
monthly stipend were to be paid in So
cent dollars.
Fourth.-Things would be worse for
all the millions of benefciaries of stock,
mutual and cooperative insurance COM
panies and all the 1,745,T25 shareholders
in building and loan associations if
payment were to be made to them in
any money less good than the best.
Fifth.-Things would be worse for
everybody in case a panic caused by
the prospect of silver basis.-N. Y.

Gold is recognized as the universal

that must be used. 1t is the measure by
which your wealth must be tested.
The wealth of the United States

Appreciated the Cider.

Some years ago well-known foreign
prince, who owns large estate in the
uidlands of England, invited his ten
ants to hunt breakfast, at which claret
was the principal beverage After the
breakfast, and just before the hounds
we're thrown off, champagne was handed
around in large cups, when one old
fashioned farmer, after taking long
pull at one of the cups and smacking
his lips, exclaimed: "Well, your royal
highness, didn't think much of that
port wine we had at lunch, but must
say this cider is the best ever tasted"

A New NIinuet by Paderewski.

Ignace Paderewski has written a
new minuet for the piano. which he
has dedicated to his American admir-
ers and given the significant name of
"Menuet Moderene" He regards the
new composition as his best, and be-
lieves that it will meet with greater
popular favor than his "Menuet a
L'Antique," written in 1883, of which
over 100000 copies were sold in q
single year. 1t is the first minuet
written by Paderewski since Ian
tique," and was composed by the fam
ous pianist expressly for The Ladies
Home Journal, and will appear in the
October issue.

week. He brought good news, as do
most Of the visiting Republicans these
days. He says: ''The electoral vote OF
Nebraska will surely be cast for Nc
Kinley and Hobart; sound money and
protection. The Republican ticket
will win by majority ranging from
5000 to $4,000. The majority depends
much on what takes place regarding
the tail end of the Popocratic ticket
IfSewall is withdrawn Bryan's chances
will be weakened, because there are
many Democrats who do not favor
making it possible for a thoroughbred
Populist like Watson to become Presi-
dent. Mr.. Bryan will not carry his
own voting precinct. A recent poll of
the precinct showed that Mckinley
and Hobart would poll 2O1 votes
against II for Bryan. The Republi-
cans will carry the district by at least
$500 majority. If the election had
been held one month ago the Demo-
Gratis would have carried the State by
from 10, 600 to $4,000 majority. Now it
is irredeemably lost to Bryan. The
cause of this great change is that
great number of the voters of Nebras-
la have been carefully studying the
financial question, something they
have never done before. They have
come to the conclusion that they want
no 53-cent dollars in theirs. Hence
the assurance of Republican success.
The Democratic managers are get
ting worried about the state election
in Georgia, next month; they fear that
the legislature may be anti-democratic
and are not sure of electing the gov
ernor. Hon. c. P. Goodyear, of that
state, who is Republican, says: 81
feel certain that the Democratic ticket
will win by greatly reduced major
ity. We have a very strong prohibi-
tior element, which will nearly all
support the Populist ticket, and the
sound money Democrats are more num-
erous than is generally supposed, and
they are making an aggressive war
fare The enthusiasm for free silver
is decidedly on the wane in Georgia"
Rev. DIR. Talmage returned to Wash
ington this week to resume his pulpit
labors. AS he travelled around extern
siyely during his vacation he was ask
ed what he thought of the political
situation, and by inference which side
he was on. He replied promptly: ~
do not believe in the gospel of smash
up" He further expressed the opinion
that this country would enjoy big
business boom, which will begin right
after election. He says he found pub
lie opinion asserting itself everywhere
he had been and the feeling of con-
tidence in our country and our institu-
tions growing.
There is reason to believe that Sena-
tors Teller, of Colo, and Dubois, of
Idaho both of whom were in Washing
ton this week for the purpose of con-
ferring with the other Popocratic man
ayers, regret that they allowed their
love for silver to lead them into their
present company, not only because
they see defeat at the end of the cam
paign, but because they have to tacitly |
support other planks of the Chicago
platform to which both of them are
conscientiously opposed, and of which
they haye become thoroughly ashamed

THE POLITICIAN.

Smiles are carried by every body con-
nected with Republican headquarters
and by everybody who has called there
this week, and why shouldn't there be?
Everything has been coming the way
of the men who are engaged in direct
ing the fight for Mckinley and Hobart,
good government, honest money and
chance for every man to earn it by
honest labor The Maine cyclone was
good second to the recent Vermont
tornado, and even in the heart of the
silver stronghold of Arkansas the re-
vised returns show that tremendous
gains were made at the recent election
by Republicans and that there was
corresponding loss by the Democrats
From the faraway Pacific coast comes
growth of Mckinley and Hobart senti-
ment and of the strong probability
that Oregon and California will both
be found in the Republican column in
November, and from the great middle
western states, which were considered
doubtful a short time ago, comes the
most positive assurance of Republican
victory. The Republican who could be
in the midst of all this good news and
not carry smiles around would be a
queer sort of an Individual, wouldn't
he?
There has been lot of scurrying
around this week by the Popocratic
bosses. The whole outfit has been in
Washington holding consolation meet
ings which did not give any consola-
tion to the badly frightened crowd.
They see the handwriting of defeat on
the walls wherever they go, and as a
consequence they are backbiting each
other in great style. Although they
one and all denied it, there is reason
to believe that one of the subjects they
discussed was how to get rid of Tom
Watson and Sewall, 1t is known that
they also agreed to abandon the cam
paign in the East and that Teller's en-
gagements to speak in New York have
been cancelled.

The big Injun" sand territory in
the vicinity OF Hebron, Peasants Co.,
is growing in Importance and promises
to show greater activity than any other
development bordering on the Ohio
river
! The Mayfield well near Conway,
Tyler county, is still attracting some
attention, but the rapidity with which
the we'll has declined has caused some,
who at first thought we'll of it, to be a
little skeptical, and they are little
backward about starting new work.
A report has also been circulated to
the effect that the Mayfield we'll got
! it's oil in the Keener instead of the Big
Injun formation. This has proven a
drawback to the starting of new work.
Those who are posted on the record of
the Mayfield we'll say that it got its
oil at 25 feet above the line and it's
color and gravity are identical with
the Keener sand product. 1t is pro-
ducing 70 barrels a day. Spragg & Co.
the owners, have started to drill test
on an adjoining lease and are building
the rig for No. 9 on the Mavfeld.
These two wells and the three locations
made by the South Penn Oil Co. I, COM
prise all the work how under way or
prospective for the near future. Other
leaseholders are waiting and watching
for more favorable indications before
they will try their luck.
The Carter Oil Co. has made five
more locations on the Livingston farm
and the Fisher Oil Co. has made three
on the Barker farm.
Rainey & Co. are among the active
operators in that locality and have
made four locations. Their we'll on the
Odell farm, completed few days since,
is said to be good for 100 barrels day.
Bettmann & Watson and Crawford &
Treat, two active Sistersville firms,
have made locations out in that terri
tory. 1t is thought now that 25 or 80
new wells will be drilling in that terri
tory within the next three weeks.
In the lower southwest fields, no new
developments were reported. The
Kanawha Oil Co.'S. No. 8, Robinson,
had not been heard from. 1t was re-
ported making 10 barrels an hour We'd
nesday night
On Indian Creek, the Victor Oil and
Gas Co. is drilling at 1,70O feet at it's
No. 2, Furbee. The gas pressure that
nade that locality fa mons a fav vaare
ago, when the "Big Moses" was drilled
in, has gone off and is now down to a
very low ebb.
A special from Sharon says that rep
resentatives of the Standard Oil Co.
have leased several hundred acres of
territory in that vicinity and will drill
in several wells at once. Jas. Shilling
and C. Stewart have taken up some
leases at Wheatland. Hubbard & Co.
have drilled we'll near that place and
got good showing for lubricating oil.
Operations at present are quite active
in the vicinity of Yankeeburg. Roeser
& Downing are moving the rig from
their No. 9 on the Conger farm and
Schnauffer & Berry haye the rig up
and are waiting for water to commence
drilling on the Thrasher farm.
Latchaw has stopped drilling on
Magruder on account of the lack of
water.

The Resolutions on the Subject TO
Come IN I'm the senate Tomorrow.
The Extreme Position Taken by
the Committee Resolutions in One
Direction and by Mr.. SeweII I'm the
Other sure tn Give the Debate n
Wide Range.
Washington. Jan. 19.-The report from
the Senate committee on foreign relations
Of the Monroe doctrine resolutions to-
morrow will probably cause that subject
to divide the time with the Senate free
coinage substitute to the House bond bill.
which Is still the unfinished business. The
extreme position taken by the committee
resolutions in one direction and those OF
Mr.. Sewell of New Jersey in the other,
will give the debate a wide range.
Mr.. Davis has been instructed by the
committee to urge prompt action on the
resolution. and while IL cannot supersede
the financial discussion as the unfinished
business. it will probably receive much
discussion this week.
Mr. Sewell may address the Senate to-
morrow during the morning hour on his
resolution, which declares that the Pres
ident has gone too far in his message
The committee resolutions VIII doubt
less be discussed by Messrs. Morgan,
Sherman, Cullom, Lodge, Frye, Davis and
others in favor, and they Will be antago-
nized probably by Mr.. Gray. II Is believed
that the result will be almost unanimous
i'm favor of their adoption, and the vote
may be taken this week.
Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Daniel have given
notice that they will speak this week on
the financial question and Mr.. White and
Mr. Cockrell may also speak.
An additional interest to the weeks pro-
ceedings will be given should the finance
committee report the tariff bill. This
will be DONE It Is understood, without an.
other meeting being held. The nature OF
the report will depend upon the position
by Mr.. Jones of Nevada. Should he Stlll
insist upon increasing the duty on raw
sugar an adverse report will be made
should he vote with the republicans then
the bill will be reported as 1t came from
the House. As soon as Mr.. Jones signihes
how he desires to vote, the bill viii be re-
ported This may be done tomorrow.
In the House of Representatives the
programme of business for the coming
week is about as follows: The urgency
deficiency bill will be reported by the
committee on appropriations Monday and
IL Is expected that immediate considera-
ton will be given it, Following that the
bill making appropriations for the militia
ry academy for the next fiscal year Will
be taken up. But little time will be OcCu-
pied in considering these, and opportuni-
ties for action on bills by unanimous re-
quest will be numerous. 1t Is expected
that next Friday the committee on invalid
pensions will invoke the rule providing
for night session on that day TO begin
the consideration of private pension bills
During the week the committee on ways
and means will give several hearings. or
Monday advocates of a bill to establish
a sub-treasury at Savannah will be heard
and on Wednesday will be held the fna
hearing Of the customs administrative act
