THERE'S BLOOD ON THE MOON.

The recent naval orders of the
Kaiser mobilizing a German squad
ron for service in the Delagoa bay
neighborhood means in plain language
that Germany is not going to take any
more nonsense from England, and
that the next move made by Grandma
Victoria in the way of interference
with German in South At
RIGA will be met by a protest from be-
hind German naval guns.
In this connection it is thought that
Germany's order prohibiting further
German exports of war material to
either of the parties to the South At
rican war is not so much the out
come of a desire to be strictly neu-
trail as to the possibility that Ger
many herself may need all the guns
and amunitions German manufacture
ers can turn out in the near future.
At any rate this is the way shrewd
observers in Washington look at it.
There is also serious trouble brew
ing for England in the direction Of
the restless Russian bear. The Rus
sian minister Of finance in his budget
for the current year, refers to strin-
gency of the money market being due
to vague fears of European com
plications." No one is better able to
| speak by the card as to these com
plications" than a member of the
Russian cabinet. Already there have
| been concentrated in Central Asia and
in the Caucasus 100000 Russian
troops, and Russia has demanded of
Turkey an immediate payment of the
| first installment of the war indemnity
of 1878.
All of which signifies that the Rus
sian bear is restless to get on the wal
path, and that when he does Eng
land must look to her interests in
Asia, where the great paw of Rus
STA is already reaching out. 1t means,
also, that Germany's wal lord is mad
and is ready and willing to fight at the
drop of a hat on the deck of a cruiser
in Delagoa bay. And, meanwhile,
France, almost open in her sympathy
and aid for the Beers, would be but
too willing to drop her thin mask of
neutrality and vent her time-honored
and hereditary hatred Of perf1dious
| Albion in open hostilities.
And England, with every available
soldier in South Africa, while she
might hold her own on the seas
against any or all of these enemies, is
in no position to resist their encroach-
ments on her territory in the East.

Justification al turning over the ~
PIES money without Interest ~ ~
Standard oil trusts bank simply leads
to q further admission showing that
his conduct Is without defense. He
says in excuse for farming out the
governments revenue collections to
this bank:
1T will readily be recognized by every
one that the absorption by the government
of a sum SO large as $2O0.O00,0O0 within the
space of a few weeks could not fail to dis
turb most seriously the general business of
the country. In fact, it is saying too much
to allege that, were the government to
draw into the Treasury $500, 100000 within
a brief period of time, the financial disaster
and ruin which would ensue would be APP
palling."
Now, it will strike men of business
as surprisingly strange that the govern
ment up to date has managed to salts
factorily handle and dispose of these
funds year in and year out without
disturbing business in the least or call
ing on any ONE bank anywhere to as
sist it in the work.
What revolution in the affairs Of the
country or of the government has oc-
Cured that suddenly has made it abb
s~olutely necessary to save the nation
from appalling" disaster to call in the
entire $500, 600, 900 collections of the
nation from as far away as San Fran
cisco and New Orleans, and turn it
over without interest to ONE bank in
New York City?
What disaster Of any kind threaten
ed the country then or now? There
is absolutely n In fact, the lead
ing inanciers of the country have stat
ed that the gamblers panic" in Wall
street which Secretary Gage recently
was at such pains to quiet by dumping
millions of the peoples money into
Wall street, was confined solely to that
Safeguarding centre and had abso-
lutely no bearing on the financial sit
uation in the country, which was en-
tirely free from apprehension in any
direction.
There is no palliation or excuse for
the favoritism show this bank by Sec
rotary Gage and the main points in the
Indictment against him are practical
ly admitted by Mr.. Gage, himself. They
cannot be denied nor concealed nor
CLOSED over.
The situation is intolerable. AS the
New York World vigorously says: "The
system which permits Treasury Off
Gals to grant favors and privileges,
to bestow wealth upon selected per-
sons, to cooperate with Wall street
gamblers in rigging the stock market
by creating alternate speculative fren-
zies and money stringencies-that sys-
tenn must be torn up root and branch"

In connection with the Treasury
scandals, it is but common justice to
keep in view the fact that Secretary
Gage is not the really responsible
party. He is an able financier, and it
is questionable if the Standard Oil
bank scandal was the outcome of his
own system of fnanciering. 1t is a
matter OF record that in several In
stances he subordinated and changed

PARKEDSBURG, w. Va. January
15.-The wells of the Elk Fork Oil
and Gas Company are being gagged
preliminary to their purchase by the
Carter Oil Company. The Elk Fork
company owns 81 wells. and several
thousand acres of territory that is yet
undeveloped, but it is understood that
it is only the production that the
Carter company contemplates purchas-
ing.
The Pollock Oil Company brought in
another well, known as the No. 5 H. C..
Henderson, on Saturday evening. 1t
is not SO large a producer as the Nos.
l and 2. but is a good one neverthe-
less. The volume of its production has
not been gagged with certainty.
The success which attended the
shooting of the W. w. Walker well,
IN the Henderson, farm, last Thurs
day, has started activity among the
owners of other abandoned wells in
that neighborhood. The No. 2 Roth,
in the same locality, will be given a
200-quart physic with glycerine about
Wednesday of this week. This well is
owned by a number Of Parkersburgers,
and was at one time one Of the best
producers in that section. Great ex-
pectations are entertained as to the
result in view of the splendid results
obtained with the Walker.

"Ths Royal Box" is a piece some
what akin to David Garrick," mas
much as the central character in each
is an actor. In the former, this gen
tleman of a thousand faces is one
Clarence, who is represented as a Lon
don favorite in the year 1910. He is
represented as a friend of the Prince
of Wales (afterward George IV), and
a pet of society. The actor falls in
love with the wife of the Swedish am
bassador, who begins an intrigue with
him. He is in turn loved by Celia
Pryce, a stage-struck girl, who COM
promises herself by visiting him at his
lodgings. The actor grows jealous
of the prince and insults him from the
stage. His friends desert him, and his
countess love comes to reproach him
for putting her reputation in jeop-
ardy; but Celia clings to him through
all, and when London is closed to him
he finds comfort in her devotion. The
play is in five short acts. 1t will be
the Opera House attraction Wednes-
day and Thursday.
