Consent of the Governed.


MIR. Bryan and his associates cannot say
enough about the consent Of the governed
doctrine as applying to the Philippines.
They dwell upon the fact that no man Is
good enough to govern another In North
Carolina and other southern states we see
before our eyes the process Of the disen-
our eyes the black man governed without
his consent by the white man. BE 1t re-
membered. too, that the men thus disfran-
chised have always been Mr.. Bryan's fell
low citizens, most of them born as free as
he was born. If our opponents are sincere
they must necessarily denounce what has
been done in North Carolina with even
denouncing what has been done In the
Philippines.

historic policy. We have annexed the
Philippines exactly as We have annexed
Hawaii. New Mexico and Alaska. They
are now part of American territory, and
we have no more right to give them up
than we have the right to restore Hawaii
to the kanaka queen or to abandon Alaska
TO the Esquimaux. There Is not particle
of difference between the cases.

SHOOTING AN OIL WELL.
The TicklIsh Experience of . Curious
Amateur.

From the American Machinist.
"Say, can you fix this reel? I want 1t
Just like this other one. Put your best man
on it, and tell him to take his time and
do it right I don't care cents what it
costs, but IL it isn't right there will be a
great big row. The last one I got fixed
only cost me $40, and I nearly got done
for with it, and I don't want you to fix
this one for less than IS. What do I do?
Well, any one would know you were new
to the oil country to ask that with that
wagon standing there"
The speaker was a quiet, good-lookine
man, with a clear blue eye, who had driven
up in a rather queer-looking wagon and
thrown two reels filled with about as-inch
lines on the floor / looked with much in
terest at the vehicle and outfit, which was
a well shooters, and found an excellent set
Of springs mounted on first-class wheels.
The seat was roomy and turned up on
hinges and disclosed a space divided up SO
that a can of nitroglycerine just filled each
division, which was carefully padded, both
bottom and sides, and the bottom covered
with rubber that came up several inches.
so as to catch anything that might come
from a leaky can, which Is no rare thing.
''It might make good axle grease, but
never wanted to carry the experiment very
far, although I had a can once that I was
carrying in an ordinary buggy leak down
on the axles. You see, there isn't much
curl to my hair yet. said the shooter as
he was showing me the rig.
Each can holds eight quarts, which weigh
twenty-six pounds. Some wagons are made
for sixteen cans, although this one only
held twelve. A couple Of brackets bolted
to the left-hand side of the body carried the
pieces which formed the rack for the shells
and anchors that make the torpedoes. The
arms of the rack are carefully covered
with rope or cloth and come UP high enough
to bring their load within easy reach of the
driver. Behind the seat was room for the
reels, etc.
"Mr Smith said you wanted to see well
shot, and IL you get that reel all right and
a couple Of go-devils ready by the time
get back I will take you on, and as I in
tend to use the reel you fix you had better
either fix 1t right or make your will,' said
the shooter with laugh as he drove off.
Just after dinner he came back, loaded
in one reel, put in the go-devils. took me
and started. The "go-devils'' are castings
tending out two inches each way from q
center. They are let fall into the hole and
strike the top of the shell, setting of the
illuminate of mercury cap that explodes the
glycerine. The wings act as guides to keep
them straight In the hole. They must be of
the most brittle, rotten iron possible. SO
that they will go into small pieces after do
ing their work.
Soon we left the main road and went
twisting and turning among the trees
and rocks, and presently drew up before a
small board building about twelve feet
square and eight feet high that had a sign
on both front and rear:
NITRO-GLYCERINE.
KEEP AWAY.
It was without windows, and the door
had heavy hinges. and heavy bar across
1t was secured by q strong. good paddock.

under the bail, was a round piece Of iron
with a A-lnch rod; on the lower end of tbis
rou long cap, which rested on small
anvil piece. The go-devil, when dronnad
snould strike the plate and explode the can
Inc shooter went out to the reel and drew
the smell up so that the top stood about
,alee i, ieet ABOVE the floor and securely
locked the reel The cans were then un
corked, and noticed that there were two
corks to each can, the holes being on oppo-
site corners, as they didn't want any slop-
pihs over. The contents Were poured into
the shells and looked much like fine winter
strained lard oil. 1t was hard for me to
realize the energy stored UP there and
| ,hat lew drops were enough to tear me
into shreds.
AS we walked back to the reel NV com.
panion remarked that perhaps l had better

not work smooth and even L cannot tell

Sometimes shell sticks and unhooks and
sometimes the bail lets go. If your reel has
hard spots you never feel sure" AS he
spoke began to realize that a few cents
on the price paid for getting things just
right did not count for anything in busi-
ness like that. In few minutes the shell
was at the bottom, and / was given the
privilege of dropping the go-devil. We walk
ed off about 100 feet and waited. l must
respond, and another go-devil did no bet
ter. Then a jack squib was made. This Is
simply small tube with about two or three
ounces Of nitro -glycerine in the bottom, sew
eral feet of waterproof fuse, with cap on
the lower end in the gylcerine, coiled up,
and some sand packed in to make weight to
sink it through the fluid. The fuse is light.
ed and the squib dropped into the hole.
This did its work. We could feel jar;
then came a rush of air. then sand and
gravel and with great rush and roar
the water and dirt came forth, going high
over the top Of the derrick.
In gusher country this might be follow
ed by flow Of OIL amounting sometimes to
several thousand barrels in twenty-four
hours. or by a flow of gas, with pressure
of hundreds Of pounds per square inch and
a roar that can be heard for miles. All the
fire under the boiler and elsewhere around
a well is extinguished before shooting, as
some gas is always present, and many
men have been burned up by the gas ignit-
ing. This well turned out to be a small
pumper. We left 1t to the drillers to finish.

WATER FOR WHITE BEAR

TO 90 so, the legislature passed a bill
authorizing the commissioners of Ram

and $4,000 this year for the improve
ment of White Bear. Very little of the
allowed amount was expended last yea
and by the first of the coming January
II Will be Impossible to spend any more
without getting another bill through the
legislature
The gentlemen propose that the county
bear part of the expense Of digging a
ditch connecting the White Bear with
Pine Tree lake. During the spring over
how in Pine Tree, the ditch will carry
off the extra water to White Bear. Bald
Eagle at present takes the outflow
from Pine Tree lake but it is not be-
heved that much opposition will be
raised by Bald Eagle residents. Bald
Eagle can take care of itself without
the help foom Pine Tree
1t is hardly likely that the water board
will object to the proposition as the ditch
will only operate when the level of
Pine Tree is higher than usual and when
water is plentiful.
Mayor Smith yesterday refused to
give his opinion of the project but adj
mitted that White Bear has been at
a low level and ought to get the benefit
of any possible inflow.

CAN GROW GOOD APPLES.
Climate and Soil of Minnesota Are
Suitable for Raising Them.

Suitable for Raising Them.
Central and Southern Minnesota will
be visited during the approaching season
by not a few representatives Of nurser-
les in the Middle West states, partic-
ularly Illinois. These husbandmen
have their eye on the North Star state
as the vantage ground for some eX-'
tensive business in the sale of apple
trees and have already come to open up
fire upon the farmers.
George B. Sprague, representing one Of
the largest, but not among the oldest
nurseries of Central Illinois, is a guest
of the city at present and will be in this
portion of the state for a Inonth maxi
ing calls on farmers as far North as
Stearns and Benton counties for the pur-
pose of selling young trees to be set out
when the proper season arrives. Mr..
Sprague expresses the most sanguine OPP
inion of the adaptability of the soil of
this state for the growth Of the apple
tree and especially certain varieties. He
maintains that Michigan, which is one OF
the best apple producing states, has d
climate not radically different from that
of Minnesota and soil which is no more
adapted to the healthy growth of this
fruit
"Of course our opinions upon such
matters will be taken by farmers as
those of agents interested in doing a
f1ourishing business" said Mr.. Sprdgue,
but nevertheless we believe what we
say or we would certainly not be up
here for this purpose.
No one who has ever tasted the ap-
pies grown in the Southern tier of Min
nesota counties will hesitate for a mo-
ment to accept the theory that the soil
is capable of producing good APPLES and
the climate conducive to as fine quail
ity of this fruit as can be found any
where. The apples in those counties
have an established. reputation that
would warrant the superstition that
counties even a little to the North
might be made to grow at least an
average quality of fruit.
