WHAT AIS our ENeLIsH COUSINS?

A most remarkable apprehension
seems to exist in England over the dam
ger of war with the United States. 1t
is not known on this side of the Allan
tic that there is any immediate or re-
mote cause Of war between the two
countries. Still, a large and influential
section Of the English press seems ter
ribly wrought up over the question and
Is gravely discussing the possibilities Of
q conflict
The London Morning Post, for ex-
ample, had this to say few days ago:
Every indication goes to show that
Great Britain will be compelled to fight
for her existence against the United
States as soon as the American govern
ment believes that a war can be safely
begun. We are not among those who
would make light of a conflict with the
United States. We can imagine no
more dreadful calamity The duty OF
our countrymen is to make sure that
il it somes it shall be no fault Of theirs
and that it shall find them united
ready and led by their strongest states
men"
The Daily Chronicle, which is sup
posed to represent the Salisbury gov,
eminent. feels called upon to talk il
this binigerent fashion about Secretary
Sherman's correspondence on the Der
ing Sea matter: Mr.. Sherman's dis
patch is such as passes the bounds o
diplomatic intercourse, and we thinl
Lord Salisbury would have been JUST
fed in returning it on the ground tina

Mr.. Mckinley is showing his weak
ness in a new direction, namely in turn
ing loose big thieves, bank defaulters,
eminently respectable rascals, who hap
pen to have influential social connec-
lions. It is pointed out that within
three weeks he has released three con-
victs who had stolen large sums. All
the cases were fragrant and the sent
ences were not excessive except on the
side Of moderation. There was abso-
lutely no excuse for these pardons.
Following is a record Of the cases:
Fred l.. Kent. cashier of the First Ma
tiCnal Bank of Ellsworth Me. was found
TO be $4,000 short i'm his accounts IN 1875,
and on the 9Th of september was senlenced

of this month he was pardoned by the
President after having served q little more
than a third of that period. j.. r. Carter

six months. and his term began on the

bv Mr. Mckinley on the 10th of this month

convicted of SquanderlnS a great sum
the bank being wrecked by his operations
on the 5th of June. 1885 he began serving
a sentence Of five years imprisonment
and on the oath of this month he was par
doned by the President. after having beer
hut up a little more than two years.

sequence Coroner Schultze postponed
the inquest until to-day.
The coroner has turned over to Louis
Marsh, a brother of the deceased. all
the property found in the possession Of
the deceased. 1t consisted of a gold
watch, pocketbooE containing two five
dollar notes and SS.15 in silver. one
knife, lot of tab memoranda, hand
kerchief, one receipt and lot of sun

kLoNDYKE AND SPECULATION.

! The reports from the Alaskan gold
/ fields are becoming more and more rose
( colored not to say lurid, and we shall
be lucky indeed, if we escape an era OF
wild speculation in mining stocks at
home, which is the usual development
of all such movements.
/ It is probable that, unless great eau
ton is observed. we shall have in this
country a counterpart of the recent Eu-
rcpean Kafir craze. Millions of money
were lost and thousands Of comfortable
estates were wrecked in England and
other parts of Europe few years ago
by investments in Kafirs that were
never developed beyond the incipient
stage Of location.
The speculative spirit is stronger in
America than in the Old World. Our
estates are newer and bank accounts
more numerous than are those evil
dences of thrift and enterprise on the
other side of the Atlantic. Conservat-
ism is less part Of us than Of the Eu,
ropeans. Therefore are we more liable
to plunge thoughtlessly into alluring
speculation than our old and staid
neighbOrs across the water.
Americans ought therefore, to regard
with suspicion every proposition for in
vestment in an Alaskan mining ven
ure. Too little is yet known about the
conditions Of the Klondyke region to
warrant the pouring of savings or idle
capital into enterprises based upon I'M
known prospects for returns.
Every sort of scheme known to the
promoter" may be expected to be
launched within the next few months.
sounding and attractive titles will be
formed to enhance this interest and de-
velop that mine" in Alaska. Shares
and stocks Of every imaginable descrip-
ton will be thrown upon the markets
and hawked about the streets. Glowing
accounts OF marVelouSly rlcn mus VIII
be printed and circulated as aids to
stimulate the already undue excitement
over the latest Eldorado. New devices
will be invented and old ones resorted
to to increase the public interest and in
flame inherent inQuisitiyeness beyond
the point of control. And when the
conditions are right the sharks and
over-zealous promoters will begin to
reap richer harvest at home than they
could nope for in the Klondyke even if
gold were as abundant there as they
will represent
Wait for expert opinion and inform
alton from sources known to be trust
worthy before investing in Klondyke
enterprises. Wait for thoroughly relia-
BILE men to lead the way unless you
known something yourself of the min
ing business.

ASKlN GAME FOX ADVERTISERS.
In a double-leaded appeal to adver-
Users, the Intelligencer advises them to
patronize those papers, which, like our
neighbor. publish all the fake prosper
ity news" they can get hold Of, ignor-
ing. as far as possible, the actual situa-
ton. and it further. by inference, ad-
vises advertisers to boycott newspapers
which publish the truth, whether it be
favorable or not.
In other words the Intelligencer adj
vises advertisers to patronize the mar
row-minded, unenterprising and hide
bound organs of the administration, to
the exclusion of honest, independent
newspapers which publish all the news
regardless Of its political significance
or bearing and consequently have a
larger circulation and more intelli-
gent class of readers than the subservi-
ent and untruthful party organ.
In this the Intelligencer shows its
lack Of appreciation of the fact that the
average advertiser is a man Of common
sense who will advertise his wares in
the newspaper that will exhibit them
before the largest number Of possible
purchasers. This is the reason that ad'
4 vertisers in this community prefer the
Register, which always publishes al
the news, regardless of its politica
bearing. and which is. consequently
the newspaper which the people gener
! ally seek.

Sistersville, w. Va, July 40
Operations in the Elk Fork territory
are more brisk now than they have
ever been in the history of the field.
All of the companies who have
leases in that section are hustling to
the utmost to develop their holdings
and rigs are going up like mush-
rooms and the wells are being pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible,
some record breaking time having
been made in drilling.
The we'll neing drilled on the Rose
berry Prickett farm is due in the sand
this afternoon, but up to late hour
nothing had been heard from it. This
well is located east of the Foster Oil
Company's we'll on the Jim Prickett
farm, and will test the territory ia
that direction, and should it come in
good it will extend the developments
fully half a mile in advance of the
present line.
The most interesting happening in
oil circles in this section in the past
forty-eight hours was the drilling in
of the Padens Valley Oil Company's
well on the Pollock farm, at Padens
Valley. The well was reported here
to-day as good for about 100 barrels.
1t will be tubed and put to pumping at
once, and there is every reason TO be-
lieve that it will make a fair pro-
Queer.
Henry Macdonald has made ten To-
cations on the John Pipes farm and
the work of building the rigs will be
commenced at once. Their No. / on
this farm is the largest well ever drill
ed in the Elk Fork field and is still
making about 500 barrels a day. OF
the ten wells located yesterday on
this farm, No. is directly opposite
Child & Co.'S No. on the Snider 30
acre tract; No. Offsets Boyd Bros
No. l on the Snider 70-acre tract, and
No. 9 is opposite the well being drilled
by the Atlas Oil Company on the Sim
con Pipes farm.
Treat & Crawford have located their
No. ! on the northeast corner of the
J. E. Rymer farm and the rig is being
built. This well is almost a mile
ahead of developments to the south.
and it, with the well just located by
the Atlas company on the William
Thomas farm, will be an important
test of the territory in that direction. !

Police Commissioner Grant, who will
not stomach the vicious sneak meth
DDS employed by the New York
police in getting evidence against
disorderly houses, has had a row
with the other members of the
board and rendered his resigna-
ton. Commissioner Grant has the right
of the matter. The police methods in
these cases compel officers Of the law
to put their manhood to one side and
degrade themselves as low as their vic
Tins and to become liars and sneaks.
This sort OF work is not calculated to
elevate the morale of the police force.

aware that anything half so serious as
limited at by the newspapers of London
has occurred to cause a breach between
this country and Great Britain. Prob
baly they keep better informed about
such matters on the other side than we
do. The American people are aware
that they are cutting into the English
trade territory nearly everywhere. But
certainly this is not SUFFICIENT cause for
wax From the American standpoint
it certainly is not. The English, how
ever, seem to look on commercial COM

enemies those people who are shrewd
enough and strong enough to extend

RESPONSIBILITY FOR CUT RATES.
Outside Roads Say That 1T Rests
With the Lines in the West
ern Association.

The bottom fell out of passenger
rates to Chicago yesterday as far as
Italians are concerned, the Burlington
road standing charged with having
started off eighty-three for the Windy
City at $275 each. This goes the Mil
waukee rate of the night before Une
better, and leaves the Omaha people
the only ones to ST k by the agree
ennt entered into some days ago to
leave this business for the weaker
lines to struggle with.
The eighty three men came In from
the West in the morning, and lost no
time in starting out ticket shopping.
Stories as to what the different roads
offered TO take the business for are
conflicting. but it is agreed that the
Burlington limited bore them away to
Chicago and at the figure mentioned.
inquiry at the city office Of the Bur-
lirgton brought out the information
that the deal had been made at the
company's general Office.
The trouble is probably at an end, as
the executive agreement is effective to-
day. and will in all probability be OBJ
served at least until this Dago move
ment is over for this year. Hereafter
the rate should be for parties of tWen-
ty or over, $500 between here and chi
cagO.
