Natural Gas Failing Rapidly.

According to the Chicago Rec
O,G'S study OF the natural gas sup
ply oi Indiana, il is now so rapidly
falling that in two years the two
great supply companies will see the
end Of their business. There will
be gas for domestic purposes prob
ablV for ten or fifteen years, but
for industrial purposes natural gas,
will soon be out OF use, with seri"'
Gus results for the industries that
have grown up on the basis OF this
cheap fuel. Drillers and opera
tors agree that the great reservoir,
a,8oo square miles in extent, had
now been narrow ed to AGO square
miles OF first class territory. The
great companies which supply In
diana, Illinois and Ohio with nat
ural gas are pushing their pipes
into this 200 square miles. In six
months gas, 900 consumers, it is
estimated, will be drawing gas from
this area. Within this area the
gas has still a pressure Of 400
pounds to the square inch. Around
it for IA or IS miles the pressure
averages IRON 100 to Iso pounds,
but outside these limits salt water
comes up from the drill, instead OF
gas. Some Is7 Indiana towns use
the natural gas, to say nothing OF
OHIO and Chicago. 1t was for
merly supposed that exhausted
territory would recover after a
time, but experience shows that
this is not the case.

perhaps the most civilized OF the

gold, and on Mindinao it IS certain
there are valuable deposits. Old

Trusts win be an Is sue.

Colonel William Jennings Bryan
was in Chicago on his way to
Barnesville, Ga.
Trusts" he said, will form a
more important feature in the next
campaign than ever before for the
reason that there are more trusts
and combines of greater impor-
tance. The Democratic party be-
lieves that the trusts should be an
initiated, the term trust being
used to describe a form OF corpor-
ate wealth which monopolizes the
production Of any article Of com
merce."
mo better illustration OF the alb
solute indefensibilItY Of trusts can
be offered than the fact the Ohio
Republican Convention, OF which
Mark Hanna was the manager,
was compelled to denounce them.
If the Republican party goes into
the campaign denouncing trusts
it will labor under the disadva n
tage of having tolerated the for
nation of more trusts under the
present Administration than were
formed altogether during the pre-
ceding history of the country.
"In 1896 the party made the sill
yer question of paramount import
ance. 1t will be kept to the fore.
The position taken in 1900 will be
as emphatic as that taken in 1896.
All the new questions will be takeu
up and discussed. and action taken
on them without any oil the olo
oues being abandoned.
THE organization OF a large
standing army ought to have 4
place i'll the Democratic platform

which hampers trade is the wait

What 10 He BiainKP

So long as the truth censorship
exists the American people and
their representatives in the Con-
gress cannot intelligently discuss
the Philippines question.
They may know what is not true
They may suspect part ofthe truth.
But they cannot know the truth
just as It is, lust as they mLst know
it if they are to come to a fair and
sound decision.
On the one hand Mr.. Mckinley
asserts that the responsibility tor
the settlement Of the Philippines
question rests not upon him but
upon the people, upon the Con-
gress. On the other hand he res
olu ely refuses to permit any facts
TO come before the jury except
those facts which he shall deem it
wise for the jury to know. Mr..
Mckinley admits the Jurisdiction
of the national jury, but does all
in his power to make il impossible
for the verdict OF that jury to be
rendered upon the facts.
The truth censorship was estab.
lished upon the pretense that if
American newspapers published
the truth the insurgents would get
news oi our plans and purposes in
advance Of execution. AS il there
was any possibility OF such publi-
cation when a simple request that
no such news be sent would be
sufficient now as it was in the
Spanish war AS il the insurgents
could not get all the news they
wished through the friendly
natives" swarming about our
camps and eagerly conveying
they could pick up to their brothers
in arms, the insurgents. AS if the
insurgent leaders could not manu-
iacture lies about the condition OF
our troops which the rank and file
would believe implicitly.
The truth censorship was never
intended and is not now intended,
was never used and is not now used
tor protection against the insur-
gents. Its motto is "distrust the
American people"-the motto of
Mr.. McKinley's Administration
The truth censorship is the key
to the Philippines question. What
is going on behind that censorship
which Mr.. Mckinley dares not let
the American paople know

BURNED THE Devil" GAYS The
steamer Idjumi Maru, from Japan, brings
an interesting letter from c. Fred
Bonnmore regarding the troubles OF
starting an electric railroad in Seoul,
Corea, He is a young American in the
employ OF Colbran & BostwIck, the
original contractors OF the Seoul Chem.
ulDo electric railroad. He writes:
IF you think Coreals take kindly to
modern inventions you should try to
operate an electric car in Seoul. The
last few days have been most exciting,
andit's wonder that any one onnected
with the road is alive. We built the
Corean company a good road. imported
motormen from Japan and cars from
America. For some reason the tenders
end gongs did not arrive with the
shipment and much trouble resulted.
Interested Coreans insisted on the road
being opened despite the non arrival OF
those n scessit ties, and the trouble began.
"The formal opening of the road was
to include ran to the I'm oerial Tomb
with the COrean President Of the
company and few invited guests. The
citizens were out in force to see the
devil wagon run by wire. Soon after
the car started a child OF 10 ran across
the track. His father called to the child
to come pack. The child became
frightened and ran directly in front OF
the car. The body was dreadfully
mangled and mob soon gathered.
THE excitement was worse from the
fact that Seoul had been specializing for
weeks on the cause Of the drought.
MANY think the electric wires cut
of the influence OF heaven; others
say there can be no rain until our power
house is removed from the dragon.
When the lieless body was taken out
the crowd began to pelt the car with
stones and all on board fed for their
,lives. The car was torn to places and
then burned. The wires were pulled
down regardless OF their death dealing
currents, and a serious accident was
averted by turning off the current at the
power house. Another car was sent
out later in the day. only to be burned
The mob then started for the power
house, but the distance was long and the
| police managed to prepare a resistanc,
that kept them of. The Tapanes,

Foraker sneers at MoKinIe,

AT the unveiling last Sunday Of
tablets at Fort Thomas in memory
OF Col. Henry c. Egbert and the
dead OF the Sixth United States
Infantry, which he formerly COM
manded, United States Senator
Joseph Foraker declared war upon
the Mckinley Administration
Recent attacks printed by Editor
Kohlsaat, OF the Chicago Times
Herald, aided in causing the Ohio
Senator to break relations with the
President.
Senator Foraker said, in sneer-
ing reference to the haste with
which Col. Egbert was hustled to
his death:
even before his wound healed
Colonel Egbert, although deserv-
edIv promoted to be a Brigadier-
General OF the United States Vol
unteers, was ordered to report tor
duty in the far away Philippines
as colonel and commander OF the
Twenty-second United States In
fantry. He was not in proper
physical condition to go, but his
unconquerable spirit and soldierly
pride were stronger than his sense
of duty to himself, and without
hesitation he started tor that new
held, where, almost as soon as he
arrived, he fell in battle at the
head OF his command.
"There is something miserablY
incongruous in the fact that he
should have survived his wound
from the Spaniards at Santiago,
received while fighting for the lib
erty and independence OF the Cub
ans only to be hurried around the
globe, there to receive a mortal
stroke from the poor FilipinOs,
who at least imagine that they are
fighting for their liberty and inde.
pendence. -.
"What more pathetic and at the
same time more magnificent than
the sight recently witnessed at
Manila, when the half civilized and
more than halt naked insurgents
OF AguMaldo, armed with only
bows and arrows and long spears,
undertook to stlnd before the
Krag- Jorgensen rifles and the
thirteen inch guns of civilization
and benevolent assimilationP"
Referring to our policy toward
Cuba, Senator Foraker said:
"Our pledge must be kept by
the prompt establishment and
prompt recognition of an inde
pendent government for the Re-
public Of Cuba, after which, and
not before, wi h honor, consider
the question of annexation.
His speech Is accepted as a def
ance Of the McKinley-Hanna wing
oil the party in Ohio who are fight
ing for re election to the Senate.
The local feeling upon the national
boycott OF ihS Sixth regiment and
the refusal to promote Col. Coch-
ran and Col. Egbert is very keen.
