JUSTICIA.

lune Oil Develonments,

It is almost four years since the oil
fields showed such wonderful activity
as during the month of June, and the
800 new wells reported in the Appal-
achian fields by the Oil City Derrick
would make a new record for field
work were it not for the months of
June, July and August, 1895, each of
which surpassed these figures, by from
to l3 new wells. July of 1895, with
S22 wells drilled, IS the biggest month
in the history of the oil country. Last
month almost reaches the record.
| The new production of the new wells
of June was 1883 barrels. 1t is
small when compared with the great
number of wells drilled, yet every
corner has been sought for productive
territory.
The yield of oil from the wells dur
ing the month has been fairly good,
the daily production coming probably
close to $4,000 barrels. But with the
increased population and the improve
ment of business, there is continually
growing need for petroleum, and while
the month will perhaps note a slight
increase in the stocks of Pennsylvania
oil, it will be marked by the same de-
crease in the Lima Stocks that has
Deen going on for months, and which
sooner or later, unless new fountains
are found, will compel the resort to
the superior Pennsylvania crude.
Steadily, month by month, the com
bined stocks of the two fields continue
to grow less, and in spite of the in
creased persistence of the wildcatter
nothing develops to indicate a new
source OF supply. West Virginia
polls widen, and an occasional little
streak elsewher excites hope, yet there
is not today s.gn OF oil like those
which made the enormous accumula-
tions of the past. In sympathy with
,4e conditions, prices have advanced.
There was nothing else to be DONE

A Ridiculous Agitation.

The st. Louis newspapers have taxi
en- the Initiative in an agitation to
change the name Of the United States.
Them ovement is ridiculous and, In
view of the tenaelty with which the
people OF this country hold to tradi-
tlonal names, Il is not proDablel that
the agitation win reeeice much impet-
us,
Neither the proposition to change
the name of our republic, nor the
name suggested, "Usona," are now
original with St. Louis people. The
proposition is not, however, wholly
without argument in its favor. The
title of the republic, the United States
of North America, is cumbersome,and
furnishes no convenient derivative by
which its people can be popularity des-
ignated or its characteristics describ-
ed. In this respect IL differs from the
titles OF all other countries We quite
naturally refer to the British, the Ger
mans, the Russians, the Mexicans,
ETC., but 1t would sound awkward in
deed, to refer to the people OF this
country as the United Statesmen.
For want of better term the people
of the United States are commonly
referred TO as Americans, but this Is
term as justly and properly appli-
cable to the people OF Canada, Mexico
or any Of the South American coun-
tries.
In the early days OF the republic our
foreign cousins readily applied the old
cant word, "Yaknee," to the people of
,ne United States, but as this later be-
came sectional term, in contradis-
tinction to Southerner and Westerner,
it is not probable that the term Yam
kee would have become popular
national sobriquet, though sectional
significance had not become fastened
upon it, on account OF the frequency
with which it was used in sense of
Jest or ridicule. Since foreigners no
longer refer to us as Yankees, they
have fallen back on the very broad
term, Americans, and it has served the
purpose well, since our neighbors on
this continent are referred to specific
ally as Canadians or Mexicans.
The present. title of the republic has
stood for more than century, and
clustered about it are the traditions OF
the greatest nation of the world. II
anyone imagines that the name United
States will be lightly brushed aside,
even for more euphonious and con-
venient title,' he greatly misjudges the
temper of the people.-ohio State
Journal.

Banks Show Expansion.

An encouraging review OF the pres
ent prosperous business and industrial
conditions is given by Charles G..
Dawes, Comptroller of the Currency,
whose close connections with the coun-
try's financial condition makes him
quite as much of an authority as the
Secretary of the Treasury. Discussing
the situation as 1t now appears and
the outlook for the coming year. Mr..
Dawes said:
THE present condition of business
throughout the United States, as re-
flected in the business of National
banks, is very prosperous. The banks
during the past year have shown a
concurrent expansion in both loans
and deposits, which is always indica-
tive OF activity in profitable CONNER
cial exchanges and general prosperity.
AT the date OF the last call for re-
ports of the condition of the National
banks of the country, on April 5,

crease of S437.914,9S1.3S and their
loans an increase of S3O6, ,S16, $50. .4S
over the amount as shown by the call
in May, 1898.
The country, while doing a pros
porous business, is, as a whole, doing
a. conservative business, and the indi-
cations point to a continued period OF
industrial progress, unmarked by any
great disarrangement OF credit condi-
tions. In such times as these the
temptation to engage in speculation
is, perhaps, greater than at other per-
iods, but the continuance Of prosper
ity is largely proportionate to the
avoidance by the business community
of the desire to amass wealth by spec
ulative devices, as distinguished from
the usual method of labor, commerce
and manufacture.

lClipped from New York State paper OF 1872 ]
Up with the morning, my children, the.sunrise
is climbing the hill,
The birds are singing their anthems and TAX
ing their baths In the rilli
The daisies have donned their fresh collars, all
tiedfwith ribands OF white,
And meadows put onltheir gold buttons, like
many q true-hearted knight
The hili-sides fiung out their banners, tri.col.
ored OF red, white and blue,
And thistles drawn up their battalions in reg
ular army review;
The air, that Ia freighted with perfume, watts
to US from every hand
Echoes OF. hearty rejoicing from Fourth Of
July through the land
'Tis the day Of Americas glory the birthday
OF freedom won,
Ana each year does It seem more holy, like the
memory of washingtoni
So rouse ye from morning slumbers and un-
furl TO the balmy breeze
The nag that your grandfather carried and
Britain endeavored TO seize
For among all the vast possessions to those
who have borne his name,
There is naught we value so highly, except his
soldiery fame,
And bring down from the garret chamber the
patriots sword aud gun,
have kept them polished so brightly they
shine like the MONDAY sun
May the spirit of seventy-six, " whose heroes
their life,blood gave,
Return to "the land of the free" and protect
''the home Of the bravel"
Let our homestead be decked with flowers,
and asparagus, fresh and green,
Fill up the .old-fasuioned fireplace with its
berries OF scarlet sheen
Let Mary enwreathe with myrtle the portrait
of Washington,
A loyal and fitting tribute to the day that his
greatness won;
Ny daughters be robed in their vesture, as
white as the spotless snow,
And father, mother and children to the church
in the village go.
Where the greatest OF declarations, from any
country or cline,
Be read to admiring hundreds, as 1t was in the
olden time.
This day of our independence declared by the
patriot band
May ever be proud to keep 1t all over this free
born land
1t, never can grow old fashion d. any more
than the starry skies
The rosy light OF morning, or the rainbow OF
richest dyes,
And the hearts OF Americas children, It's
praises ne'er shall cease
While they wish their homes protected by the
white-robed angel, Peace"

the FOURTn oF JULY.

Oh, day OF days our Nations birth
When Freedoms nag on turrets high
Attracts the gaze of all the earth
And Pilgrim Fathers In the sky.
1t says that men should have the right
To rule themselves by laws their own
And raise their State to glory bright,
without kingship or throne.
1t shows by all historic love,
When selfish pride has won the day,
How vain ambition, more and more
Leads on to war and swift decay.
When Washington our armies led
1t was to give our Nation life.
For this our heroes freely bled
And ended we'll our foreign strife
Each State could then select the best
To make her laws with honest zeal
And canvass with the wisest zest
All measures for the public veal.
All hail the day of brightest tame
That celebrate Nations birth,
And shows how freedom won the game
Foe public good, of matchless worth.
Our stars and stripes proclaim to all
That we are one for human good
And can on other nations call
To see we have the smiles of God.
Let people all rejoice TO see
How freedom works for righteousness
In giving truest liberty
Which will at last all nations bless.

You see. these are the plainly knifns

him OFF to the hospital and operate for
appendicitis without waiting for him

A farmer tells an exchange that he
has made discovery that will be OF
vast Importance to the farmers during
l.-e dry season, He has found by
planting onions and potatoes in the
same field in alternate rows, the onions
become SO strong as to bring tears to
the eyes Of the potatoes in such vol
umes that the roots Of the vines are
kept moist and big crop is raised in
spite of drouth. The same farmer has
a scheme for raising custard pies by
crossing the egg plant with the milk
weed.
