100000 Plan in Europe.

100000 Plan in Europe.
New York, July 15-Count Carracrist,
a mining and oil expert, arrived to-day
on the steamer St. Paul The Count is
returning to this country after having
been instrumental in getting through a
deal in oil lands involving S5,OO0OOO He
was summoned to London about month
ago to consult with Prof W. E. Gallo
way and BeverJon Redwood, experts in
oil.
Count Carracrlsu said: II was consulted
with view of deciding whether it would
be advantageous for British investors 10
purchase petroleum-producing sections in
America. Prof. Redwood, who is the
chemist to the British Parliament, came to
this country in the interest of an English
syndicate in February, and as a result
of his inspection English capital is in
vested in petroleum lands owned by the
Cherokee nation. This was the founda-
ton of a new field of English Investment,
and I have no doubt that in a short time
American petroleum will be as much the
fashion in London as has been Russia oil
for some years past"

CAN STEER A BALLOON.
French Aeronnut Said to Have Solved
the ProbIem-HIs Machine Is
Cigar-Shaped.

NJ. Santos-DuMont, member OF the
Automobile and Aero clubs, of Paris,
seems to have solved the problem of
steering balloons. He made an ascent
at Vanguard that convinced the most
skeptical spectators. He first directed
his course toward the Eiffel tower,
which he encircled, then turned off
west, though a southwest wind was
blowing at the time, and finally came
down near the Moulin at Bagatelle, in
the Bois de Boulogne.
NJ. SantosDuMont's balloon Is cigar
shaped and has volume of 500 cubic
meters. 1t is provided with petroleum
motor, for a screw at the stern, which
only works when the balloon is going
against the wind. All power in the mo-
tor is thus reserved for modifying the
direction of the balloon in spite of aerial
currents.
NJ. Santos-DuMont is said to have ar
ranged beforehand with friends for the
descent at Bagatelle. He has also made
a bet that in a short time he will GO up
in his balloon and come down upon the
roof garden of the Automobile club, in
the Place de la Concorde.

It's up to the People.

Less than a year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president Of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not of spontaneous
growth They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transpiring, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with truthful
array of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
look beyond their plausible decep.
tions. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era of
greatest good to greatest number.
Watch carefully the
Cincinnati Enquirer
