IT is estimated that there are two mil
lions of counterfeit silver dollars now Cir
culating in this country. They have the
same amount of silver in them that is
found in the standard dollars of the United
States, but when their spuriousness is de-
tected they become valueless, except as to
their bullion value in the markets of the
world. They are no more valuable than
would be the freely coined dollars, if the
Bryan idea of free coinage should win.
The counterfeit dollars were originally pri-
vate property and will be the same
their character and quality are known.
Silver dollars made under free coinage
would be individual property from the
moment they were placed in the HANDS Of
those who supplied the bullion from which
the Government coined them. They
would never be the property Of the Gov
eminent, but would be waits, cast out upon
the markets of the world, owned and sup
purted by no one except the individuals
whomay for time have them in possession.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
arms.

The correspondent of the Richmond
Times writing from Lynchburg, Va, on the
18th instsaid: Themerchants and bankers
all agree that business is looking up all
along the line. One of the latter said re-
Gently: "I never saw the farmers SO
anxious to pay their debts. They have
gotten good prices for their wheat and to-
bacco and are handling more money than
for years :"
In addition the correspondent says that
the mechanics care cheered by the pros
poets of a large amount of building"
Lynchburg occupies central position in
the State, and the business conditions that
exist there are about the same in all sec
tons of the Commonwealth. Being the
home of Senator Daniel, the chief of the
free silver calamity howlers, it is gratifying
to get this cheering news from the "Hill
City," ALI the same the Bryan calamity
howlers will continue their efforts to dis
satisfy the people, and endeavor to make
them believe that relief is only to be found
in a cheap, deprecated silver currency.

THURSDAY, MARCH, "a, 1898.
PARTY ABOVE SELF.

If any Republican is dissatisfied with
the present Administration or the Re
publican party he ought to ask himself
what cause he has for such dissatisfaction.
There can be none, except it be of per-
sonal nature. The party has done or is
doing everything it promised the people
while the great political struggle of 1896
was in progress. 1t pledged the people
that it would protect the credit of the
Government and maintain safe and
sound currency. Another promise was
that tariff legislation would be effected
that would do away with the deficit that
followed the adoption of the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff law. The Republican party
confidently predicted that its return to
power would restore public confidence
aud produce activity in all classes of trade.
We ask any Republican who is sore or
dissatisfied, if all these promises have not
been kept and the most sanguine expec-
tations fulfilled? Should not all the peo-
pie be content or even gratifed with the
results? Ought not Republicans, espec-
tally, to be proud of the vindication of the
principles for which they made such
brave fight, in the memorable struggle of
1896, against the combined forces Of De-
mocracy and Popuism? Has the party
record since the Inauguration Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley been in any way impaired? We
say emphatically that it has not. Why
then should Republicans complain? The
public good has been advanced and the
doctrines of the party thoroughly vindi-
Gated
There are some Republicans who COM
plain and give utterance to unwise, angry
expressions. We fear, we know, the
wrongs they are excited about are OF
personal and not of public nature. A
great many of them have been applicants
for official positions and have failed to
secure them. Disappointment has made
them sore and they are unwisely blaming
the party for their personal disappoint-
ment. This is not right. If they were
sincere in their party convictions they
should exhibit more anxiety for the vel
fare of the public and less for their own
personal interests. The man Sho turns
upon his party and threatens to stab 1t
because he does secure part Of the
spois does himself greater injury than
he can possibly infict upon his party.
His motives are bound to be questioned,
and he will be placed among that class of
persons who shape their convictions to
suit their Individual interests.
We assert again, no Republican can
say that the party has not made good all
its promises, on public questions, to the
people. If there is any disappointment it
is of personal character, where men have
failed to get post Offices or other places
that they thought they ought to have
for party services. Those who were sim
cere Republicans will see how wrong it is
to elevate themselves and their supposed
injuries above the party. Others, per-
haps, may sulk Or stab, but they will live
to regret such foolish course.

ABOUT two weeks ago municipal elec'
ton was held in the city of Seattle, Wash,
and the Republicans carried the city by
737 majority. In 1896 Bryan carried the
state of Washington by plurality Of l2,.
493 and Kings county, in which Seattle is
situated, by 1854 plurality. 1t looks very
much like the tide has turned against the
free silver craze in that state, and we hope
in all the Pacific coast region.

SOME of the Republicans of the Ninth
district have commenced to plot to defeat
certain men, if they or either Of them
should be candidate for Congress this
year. The sensible thing for these plotters
to do is to go to work to reform the party
lines and elect the nominee of the party to
Congress.

A PECULIAR WELL
In the Lima Field Producing
From
THE SHALE FORMATION
Eighty Feet Above the Trenton
Rock.
Other OIL Notes From the Buckley
Fields as Cleaned From the IOiedO
Commercial.

Lima, O., Feb. 10. The Chill
dren's Home field south of this city
has the honor of having the most
peculiar we'll at present in the Ohio
fields. It is the Ohio Oil company's
No. I, on the Breese farm, and its
claim to distinction lies in the fact
that its production is found in the
shale formation between 80 and 90
feet above the Trenton rock. When
drilled i1to the shale last week the
showing was so strong that it was
decided to put the well to pump
ing without drilling down into
the Trenton rock formation.
In fact the hole filled up within two
hundred feet of the top and made
further drilling a matter of difficulty
without the fluid being exhausted.
The well was put to pumping on
Friday and started off by making
100 barrels the first ~ hours. 1t
has settled down to a 40 barrel well
and a report from the we'll says that
it is holding up close to those fig
ures. The we'll has pretty nearly
enough gas to run and is producing
40 or SO barrels of salt water. The
we'll is not, strictly speaking, skale
we'll, but undoubtedly draws its oil
from the regular Trenton sand
through a crevice or assure in the
everything strata, a strong pressure
of salt water or gas forcing the oil
upwards. At least that is the ex-
PLANTATION figured out by the talent,
and all the indications bear out that
theory. So good strike has added
new interest to this territory, which
is now the most promising spot in
the South Lima district. Kerr &
Co. and Roth, Argue & Co. have
already started rigs on leases adj
joining the Breese farm and will
hustle to get wells down to the pay
streak as fast as possible. Whether
any more crevices will be struck or
not is problematical, but the sur
rounding territory is considered
good as far as its chances are cor
cerned in the regular Trenton rock.

Beware
OF the knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, u. T.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted pre)u'
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
1 would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. IS the only,
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

pleted we'll on the Lowe farm il
Wetzel county and when the sane
was reached it was known to have
shown signs of a producer, After
sending and having put up three
tanks, built a tank house and placed
guard over it, they gave out that
they had completed buster. They
knew at the time that E. J. Thomp'
son and others owned an adjoining
farm, comprising 200 acres, which
the South Penn had at different
times offered to buy. After circu-
lating broadcast the news Of their
completed buster, they proceeded
to the landowner of the Thomp-
son lease and ascertained the eX-
act date their rental was due.
They also submitted the propo-
sition that if Thompson did
not have his mon = ready at the
appointed hour they would give a
bonus of s. 800 for the lease.
After finding that Mr.. Thomp-
son had deposited the rental on the
fixed date the South Penn then
made the proposition to refund all
money raid out by Thompson ct al
aud still tack on to that a neat sum.
Il would look as though they were
very anxious to throw money away
on land that was destitute Of oil, for
if their we'll on the Lowe was a

prove otherwise than nonprolihc.
