LAUGHING AT PROSECUTION.
Oil Men Say the Law Against Wasting
Gas Is Unconstitutional.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, May 9.-Nim Carver,
owner of the farm in Monroe township
where the big oil we'll was recently drilled
by Lima capitalists. was in Anderson yes
terday and beaming with good feeling over
his luck. He talked very freely concerning
the threat to prosecute oil operators for
the extravagant waste of natural gas and
said: I'm not afraid of this prosecution
business. The law will never be held consti-
t%utional. Why, if a man desires to drill a
we'll on his farm and turn it loose that is
his own business and his own privilege,
no matter whether it throws out gas, oil
or water"
But what do the oil operators think
about the suits that have been filed, Mr..
Carver?"
They don't give the matter much
thought. Arrangements are now being
made to drill fifteen or twenty more wells.
which shows that the spectators are not
frightened to speak Of"
How much do You make out Of the well
Il get an income of about $25 per day
and can stand that kind for some time to
come. l need it."
Are the oil men still leasing land in
that Vicinity?'
"All of it they can get. 1 leased 10 acres
yesterday for my father at $40 per acre, on
forty days"
In this connection it is of interest to
know that Mr.. Carver purchased the farm
on which the big well was drilled from
Hon. j. w. Lovett, of this city. five years
ago, agreeing to pay $1,000. OF this 81, 200
was paid in cash and a mortgage given on
the farm. A year ago the mortgage fell
due and because of the depressed condition
in financial circles Mr.. Lovett extended the
time another year and now Mr.. Carver Is
congratulating himself that the mortgage
was not foreclosed when due.
Since the suits have been filed against the
owners of the Carver well for violation of
the new law relating to the waste of gas
Dan Longabaugh, one of the interested
parties and who is known throughout the
country as Dry Hole" Dan, claims that he
is in no way responsible for the waste of
gas, as he disposed of his interest in the
well shortly after he had completed it's
drilling. The prosecutor will be amply pre-
pared for the trials when called, which will
not be till after the expiration of ten days
from the tiling of the complaints.

on the street do not keep step. A Greek
funeral procession presents to our eyes a
most disorderly and i"ndiYidualistic appear
ance. The people who compose 1t go on
foot, and each one seems To be s~trolling
along on his own account On arriving at
the grave there is likely TO be no fixed
order of procedure. If there Is, people do
not conform to il. Everyone does what
seems to him good. Absence OF previous
plan and of sense for order are apparent
on every band. If there occurs a halt in
the proceedings. through any uncertainty
OF lack of preparation. a debate may ensle.
Three out of four of the bearers will prove
to be orators. There is no one person in
authority. Five or six different ones are
giving orders or making suggestions at the
same time. The same popular trait shows
itself wherever masses of people are as
sembled. Any single man is a potential
marshal and master OF ceremonies and any
may develop into such without warning.
All this represents a deep-seated national
characteristic and one that renders the APP
plication of strict military discipline in the
form known to the armies of the North ex-
tremely difficult.
Herein lies the chief ground for appre-
henSion regarding the fitness of the Greek
to meet the demands OF modern methods Of
warfare. A German battalion is a firmly
compacted machine in which the individual
has lost the sense of autonomy. Panic can
not resolve it into its constituent elements,
because steady discinline and persistent
drill have made machine action a second
nature. In the moment of emergency a
Greek battalion is liable 10 become ex uno
plnreS.

OUR TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
Improvement Best Begun in a Small
Way by Cooperation.
Leslie's Weekly.

Recently the writer of this has travelled
in several of the middle States and has seen
a number of towns and villages and many
long stretches of country road. 1t would
seem a libelous extravaganza to say that
not one street in ten and not one road in
twenty and not one farm fence in thirty
was in order, but with due respect to our
own proper pride. the statement is well
within the facts. OF the good-roadS move
ment nothing need be said here, because
enough IS beng said in countless places,
and with such slow effect that we almost
begin to feel that the statesman who said
ii took England forty years to carry out a
reform after she saw the full necessity for
it might twist his words to fit his kinSmen
on this side of the sea. For several genera
tions the solemn intellects of our state leg
islators in all the States have been weighed
down with the problem of how to fence in
stock without building fences, and the per-
suaSiVe agents who deal in contriVanceS
of wire warranted to outlast eternity have
complicated the situation in more ways
than one, but the general effect has been
the same-the decay and the demoraliZation
of the fence. There are in the United States
about five million farms, but 1t might be a
lash thing to say that two hundred thou
sand of them were surrounded by fences
kept in good repair and presenting an
agreeable appearance.
But the most deplorable condition is that
OF the average town or village, where the
opportunities for beauty are so numerous
and where they are so often neglected. 1t
is almost impossible to make an American
city acceptable from an artistic STANDPOINT.
because the difficulties are so innumerable;
at best it will take a century or two to
achieve anything satisfactory, but we can
catch our towns and villages young and
thus train them from the start. The main
obstacle is the general lack of ~co-opera-
ton. There are village Improvement
schemes and elaborate plans by landscape
men and architects, but, except in rare in
stances, they are so complicated or so
costly as to be forbidding TO the small pop
ulations: for almost everybody who owns
a home lives pretty close to his income and
lights shy of any extra expenditure. Our
observation from scattered cases is that
the village improvement movement which
really improves and keeps on improving is
the one that begins in a simple meeting of
the property owners. They get together
and talk matters over.
When there is interest in improving and
beautifying towns and villages the owners
of homes will keep them improved and
beautiful. After all, the sentiment of a
community is pretty well expressed in its
physical condition, and when carelessness
is written Ill over n settlement it is a
place which wise people avoid. 1t is so
easy TO correct these evils. and the results
are so profitable and far-reaching that a
crusade for town and village Improvement
ought 10 be one of the browning achieve
mentS of the century.

The Campaign of 1850.
Philadelphia Press.

Hnllauelpnla Press
The Republicans were at first stunned by
the result in Maine, but they quickly saw
that if they carried Indiana and ONO IN the
following October they would not only re
trieve the Maine defeat, but would practi-
cally end the campaign. AT once all the
machinery of the party was brought TO
bear on those two States. The most lnsplr-
ing leaders and the best orators OF the par
nv were nut in the field, Mr.. Blaine, Gen
eral Grant and Senator onklln pelnS
among the number Ohio and Indiana
never saw such a campaign as they Wit
messed in the month of September, 1880.
The latter State was the more doubtful.
but the Democrats felt certain of carrying
il. and they confessed to be confident OF
carving Ohio also. The election, however,
gave both States TO the Republicans and
the result was so sudden and unexpected
nv the Democrats that it left them with the
Maine smile frozen on their c~ountenances.
The result in Indiana was the more sig
nihcant. as the State had been usually
Democratic, and it at once gave Governor
Porter a national reputation. The Demo-
Gratis have always claimed that the Repub-
licans won by the aid of money. It is doubt
ful if there was any substantial basis for
their claims, or if the Republicans used
any more money than the Democrats. The
fact that so notorious a c~orruptionist as
the late Senator. Barnum, of Connecticut.
took personal charge of the Democratic
campaign is proof that money was not
wanting on that side. The determining fac

with the running accounts. Then at the
May session of the auditing board an
order sweeping in the opposite direction
was adopted. holding that a trustee could
not pay a cent until he had issued 81 war
rant for the same and it had been audited
and approved by the board. This last order
was based on the opinion of the attorney
general. While the trustees and a major
ity OF the board do not look at the law in
that light, still it is regarded as being at
least perfectly safe in doing this way, so If
the Supreme Court should decide that this
ruling is the intent of the law. no harm
will be done. and also no harm will be done
even If the Supreme Court should reverse
the same. Prominent attorneys here say
that the law is very remote. in its true
meaning. and that the person who framed
the bill surely did not know the manner
in which trustees transacted business or
he would have known that warrants are
not issued by trustees against themselves
for the payment of accounts when they have
money IN hands to paw the bills.
