menian massacres would sink into nsig-
nilcance.
Continuing Mr.. Curzon remarked that
the day the Greeks withdrew would be
the dawn OF brighter prospects for Crete.

The retreat was not the result of a general
plan, Tor the position could not have bee.
carried without enormous loss. Therefore
their sudden retreat must have been due
to the fact that the troops could no longer

President Mckinley has called Congress together to pass a new tariff bill. The bill has already been framed and will pass with but few changes. While we believe that tariff duties should be imposed in some cases we really do not think the tariff has anything to do with our present financial distress. Of course, the silver men in con gress should not interfere with the passage of a tariff measure and af-
 ter the new bill is put in force it should remain until a thorough test is made. Tariff tinkering must be taken out of the hands of Congress.

SAVE MONEY BY USING

This Engine can be operated on either Crude Oil, Distillate, Gasoline or Kerosene: It is the cheapest power on earth and IS not tied to any one kind of Oil, but can use any kind that will make gas and is not handicap ped by being compelled to use certain oil. Do not forget this when in need of an Engine.
 We guarar tee our Engines to work perfectly on California Crude Oil, or Distillate, or any of her kind of gaseous Oil; we however prefer CALIFORNIA CRUDE OIL from Coal1ngs, Fresno county. for the reason that gas from crude Oil will produce more power from the number of feet of gas used than from any other oil, and it is also natural lubricant as well, the valves being always fabricated su sutc1ently to prevent them from sticking, thus assuring greater dura bility of the working parts than it otherwise would be ill using dry gas. Ana an other advantage we claim is, that danger rom explosions is reduced to a minimum, there De- ing no accumulation of gas, but IS used by the Engine as fast as it is generated and hence is absolutely safe. The following IS test tnaI we made with one of our Five Horse foWer Crude Oil Engines running ten hours on the different gas oils:
 Cal Crude Oil, 40 gray, 711 gals. at SC. Sa12 DistilIate, 40 gray. 71@ gals at &c.,, .6G Dom Coal Oil 40 gray. 712 gals. at 1213c 93A Gasoline "A gray. oA gals. at loc I.5l4 City Gas lOOO feet,
 We manufacture all sizes from two-hOrse power up and will guarantee that our Engines will run cheaper and are more simple m con more durable than any other G9s Engine on the market. Seeing is believing; don't take our word for it, but come and investigate TOT yourselves You can always see one in opera tiOn at our works. We will be pleased to see you and will at all times take pleasure III showing them up. Our engines are eSpeclally adapted for running well ana mining ma chinery-in fact, for any kind of power oe- sired. We are the pioneers and first inventors of Crude Oil and Distillate Engines. we al ways lead and never follow. Send for Cata- logue and Price List of the only genuine Crude Oil and Distillate Engine made.

Senator Grill may be regarded as a
Napoleon Of finance. Last fall on the
stump he promised the people OF this
county that he would. il elected, give
- economical and satisfactory report
Of his work. In commenting upon the
former legislature words scarcely de-
plot the horror Of his feelings, the out
rage OF his pure and unsullied con-
science as to the manner in which the
peoples money had been squandered
by those awful rascal republicans. The
people took him at his word. and now,
alter his performances are completed,
We find in looking over the appropria-
tiOn bill that there was squandered {.
plump 800 coo more than the republic
cams. How our dear delectable friend,
the Napoleon OF Union county can ex-
plain this proposition, is more than we
can zee. II this is sample OF Louie's
management in finance we fear that
his political death is sealed and we hope
that two years hence he will come up
Tor reelection, because certainly ii is a
grave question whether the people will
endorse legislature elected under the
hue and cry Of reform and retrench-
sment, that has struck the high notch
IA extravagance Of the peoples hard
SSarned money. Times are hard Too
hard - Withstand an $500, 900 legisla-
