Berberton, Feb. 5.-Thcre is no abate-
ment in the oil talk here. Some sny
that the fact that oil has been found in
a small quantity will insure capitalists
to invest their money to develop the oil
ields,of which Van Campcn has struck
the edge.
The statement In Saturdays paper
that Van Campcn said the oil was
worth from 81 to $40 per barrel was
incorrect. He says it will bring from
81 to S3 n barrel, which is a high price.
In speaking of the oil he said, ut Is
the finest oil ever found in America in
the green oil group, in the sandstone
| formation. know there is oil $500
feet deep in big quantities, and I'll
| live To see it, Mr.. Van Campen says
the well is good for from six to L. bar
rcls per day.
som epeople have an idea that when
the well was shot because oil did not
squirt 100 feet int othe air, the well
was dismal failure.
Contrary to this, It has proved one
very satisfactory thing, that is, that
there Is oil In this vicinity and the
prediction Is made without fear of
contraction, that within year there
will be dozen oil wells in and about
here.
A reasonable theory was advanced
today by q man who has drilled salt
wells for the Soda Ash works. He said
that the west we'll of the Soda Ash
works did not produce n drop of oil
In the wells east of this one each well
produced n little more oil than the 9th
or one. Van Cnmpen's well is half Il
mile east of the nearest salt well, and
II has given up considerable oil. The
salt drilers say that If Van Camper
: would drill southeast of his present
well, he would get oil galore.
Mr. Van Campen Is not disheartenei
: because the well is not flower, in fac
he says II 1t Is only worth five barrel.
n day, the people ought to throw vi
their hats and shout for joy. He II
, jublant in proving that there Is oil il
! this meek o the woods
He says 1t required seven wells to b
drilled in Bradford, Pa, before oil flow
cd in big quantities, which now has tn
reputation of being the largest produc

There are many insurgents in the
House of Representatives, men who,
some from high motives, some from
low, are bent upon encompassing the
overthrow of the present bosses of the
state, and the bill will meet strong OPP
position here. If all the Republican
representatives who have expressed
themselves as against it have the conr-
age to cling to their determination in
the face of the tremendous party pres
sure and nevcr-ending lobbyings and
promisings, the bill will never become Il
law. Most honest people hope these
men will not weaken at the last mo-
mcnt The status of things reminds
one of the famous remark of Colonel
Ike Hill, one of Ohio's premier states
men, made at the time of the fight oven

The bill has been made purely n par
ty masurc, however, and the great
majority of Republican Senators will
weakly fall into line and do the will Of

Senator Marchant has prepared two
bills relative to the sending of youth
full wrong-doers to the Boys Industrial
school at Lancaster. At present boys
are sent to the institution upon the
charge of truancy alone and the Pro
bate Judge receives his fee only upon
conviction. Senator Marchant desires
| that the law be so amended As to pro-
vide that boy must be proved OF
vicious proclivitics before being sen-
fenced and that the judge shall re-
ceive his fee whether the truant urch'
in is convicted or not. He believe,
that less boys will be sentenced to the
school If his bills are en'p.ted into law.

A SATISFACTORY CAMPAIGN.

The people of st. Paul have much right
to congratulate themselves on the man
ner in which the campaign just closed
has been conducted. 1t has been largely
a campaign of education. 1t has run
entirely on the questions which relate to
the administration of local affairs. There
has been an attempt to turn it into chan
nels of personal scurrllity but the popu-
lar response made to the effort put an
end to that incident. and the result must
now be one which will either indorse or
repudiate the-men and methods identf-
fed with Republican control for the past
four years.
The only feature of the campaign main
tanned for any considerable period which
was not worthy of the occasion was the
diversion sought to be created by our Re
publican brethren going back ten or fif-
teen years in local history for their cam
paign ammunition. This, however, was
in some sense unavoidable, since the main
contentious Of Democratic advocates
stood proved out of the mouths of their
adveFsarics. There was no attempt at
denial or disnroof of the charge that the
police department las been both corrupt

THE COUNCIL.

Let the voter not forget in casting his
vote today that the membership of the
incoming council will have the most i'm
portant bearing on the conduct Of city
affairs for the ensuing two years. This
will remain true whether the city charter
is beyond all comparison the most i'm
portant department of the city govern
ment 1t Will have its Importance re-
duced but slightly by the new charter.
The present body is concededIy a very
bad one. Where 1t has not distinguished
itself by positive wickedness, it has been
shifty and vacillating, and has shown itself
ready to change its attitude In response
to influences which should be suppressed
in their operations On public representa-
tives. 1t has a well-defined reputation
for corruptness, and 1t has been openly
charged on the public thoroughfares, and
wherever men discuss the public concerns
of the city, that 1t has always been Pc
culiarly amenable to corrupt influences.
lice alarm system. on the pavement Of
Rice street, and on a number of other
important measures was regarded by well
informed citizens as having been dictated
by unworthy purposes
The success of Robert a. Smith, of tt
self, will avail but little for the relief of
the taxpayers If it Is not sustained in
ether directions. His last administration
as mayor, while one of the best, cleanest
and most economical that was ever given
the city, had It's value misrepresented
and destroyed through the course of con
duct of a vindictively hostile council and
by the virulent partlsanship of ComptroI-
Ter McCardy.
The citizen who casts his vote for Rob
ert A. Smith for mayor and fails to vote
against the Republican candidates for re-
election to the assembly, or fails to cast
his vote for Messrs. Bremen and Betz, is
doing less than his duty as citizen.

Already voters have been arrested and
dragged to the central station on trump

conditioned on their promising to refrain
from voting for Robert A Smith.

roustabouts Of his type to deprive certain
men Of their suffrages by subjeeting them
TO arrest as they appear at the polling
places, on the belief that there would be
no one available to secure their release
before the closing of the polls. The obli
cation to meet the crisis thus created
rests upon the executive officers of the
Democratic city and county organization.
They can probably be relied on to defeat
the Infamous plot.
But within the past twenty-four hours
a raid has been made by this same official
on the political rights of certain colored
men in this city who have signihed their
purpose TO vote against the Republican
candidate for mayor Certain of them
have been arrested and others threatened
with arrest. and the determination has
been openly expressed to them by A4cIn-

town if they appear to vote. The object
is to Illustrate the apparent win of this

hold-ups have been great feature Of
city life for two years past, or that the
social evil has faunted itself on the public
thoroughfares and in the city tenements
unrestrained, as the result OF the -degrad-
ing alliance entered into between the rep
resentatives of vice and the authorities of
the city.
The only affirmative claim put forward
by those in power has been that through
the watchfulness of Comptroller McCardy
the city treasury has been guarded so ef-
fectiveIy that great savings have resulted.
No attempt was made, however, In this
connection to show wherein economy was
practiced or what particular department
Of city government had been conducted
either more capably or more economically
than under former Democratic admfnis-
trations. The struggle of the contending
forces was ardently maintained to the
end, and every question which might be
regarded as legitImately involved was
discussed fully. If not with absolute fair
ness, by both sides.
On the question of the city charter the
record made is one which rebounds to
the credit of the community In an ex-
