Treating Him Square.

Speaking of natural oil wells, re-
minds me of little circumstance,
said the man from Toledo, with sigh
to finish off his words, says the Detroit
Free Press. Il was looking for a
farm in Ohio a good many years ago,
and | finally found one to hit my fan
cy. l bargained for it at $4,000, and
realized that l had a good thing. 1t
took a week for the farmer to get his
abstract of title for my lawyer to ex-
anime it, and a day was appointed for
passing the papers and paying over
the cash. The farmer didn't show up
on that day or the next, but on the
third day he came in and said:
L didn't mean to keep you wait
ing, but you have saved $500 by it,
How do you mean?' 1 naturally
asked.
We'll, three days ago, when 1 was
working out in the meadow, l began
to smell "a strange odor. 1 looked all
around, and pretty soon / found that
the little creek running through it was
all covered with a nasty black stuff.
followed it UP TO the spring, and that
spring was bubbling up something like
tar. 1t was mighty geasy stuff, and
barrels of it floating down the creek
and smelling clear to the house, and
/ knew you'd never take the farm with
no such stencil around
And what? / whispered, as
realized that the tar was petroleum
II was going to send you word that
I'd let you off on your bargain, as
don't want to cheat anybody, when a
man comes along in a buggy and
smells and shifts and calls out
Hollow, neighbor, what's this
smell?'
" It's tar or soap grease says 1.
q" Where does it come from?'
=" From a spring down here
" He got down and went to the
spring with me, and after looking and
tasting and greasing his shoes, he
asks:
What's your price for this farm ??
at was asking $1,000, and had it
sold,' says l. but owing to this smell
I'll take $500 less
HE said he'd take it, and he got
a lawyer and we finished up the bust
ness in half a day. That's why l didn't
show up, and that's how you saved
$780,
''It was a natural-oil well, of course. :"
sighed the Toledo man, land 1 may
tell you that it yielded over half a
million barrels of oil before it petered
out. 1t was a big thing and a good
thing, but don't try to console me.
There are no words in the English
language that can do it,"
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-03-09

doubtful if there is much authority for
these statements. Mr.. Clark is a very
rich man, and no doubt would spend
money freely to elect a majority of
Democrats to Congress, but he has a
political record that would do the
Democrats more harm than his wealth
could do it good.
There are public men who are the
objects of slanderous tongues, but
whose regulations suffer no harm on
that account. Mr.. Clark is not that
kind of a public man. He resigned
from the Senate because a committee
composed of Republicans, Democrats
and Populists reported unanimously
that certain charges that had been
made against him relative to his buy
ing his way into the Senate were true.
If he had not resigned it is probable
that he would have been expelled.
1t may be that Mr.. Clark does not
think the offense of bribery is a Sc
rious one. 1t is so serious that if he
were to be put in the conspicuous DO
sition of chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee he would be
attacked continually by the Republi-
cans. His public record would furnish
them with about all the campaign
material they would want.
1t seems that Mr.. Clark has a tow
ering ambition. He not only wants to
be the Democratic Congressional cam
paign manager but he wants to he
the Democratic nominee for President.
He ought to put aside the latter am
bition, because the Democrats haven't
the remotest idea of making him their
standard bearer in 1904. They want to
win the next national election, and
that they couldn't do with Mr.. Clark
at the head of their ticket. He would
so heavily handicap them that they
couldn't win.

SETTLED IN FIFTEEN MINUTES.

The Philadelphia Ledger, comment
ing on the visit of the Boer delegates
to the President, said: I'm an inter-
view lasting only fifteen minutes he
convinced them that this country
would not abandon its attitude of neu-
trality, and that it was useless for
them to agitate for intervention. Thus
he settled at once and for all an agita-
ton that has been going on for two
years"
The Ledger does not state the sit
uation exactly. The President did not
settle the agitation. If the people
were for Intervention the President
could not have settled an agitation in
favor of it in fifteen minutes or in
fifteen hours. He could not have set
tied it at ALL
The American people think for
themselves. They do not depend up
on their President to do their thinking
for them. The chief anxiety of Pres
ident Mckinley was to find out public
sentiment on important questions.
When he knew 1t he was ready to
act. Figuratively speaking. he always
had his ear to the ground.
What President Roosevelt did was
to tell the Boer delegates that the
American people have practically
made up their mind not to interfere
in the South African war. And in
telling them that. he did not tell them
anything they did not already know.
They had learned from the Boer SYM
pathizers, Immediately on their arri-
val, that if they entertained a hope of
American intervention they were
doomed to disappointment.
The only thing for which the Presi-
dent is entitled to credit is knowing
public mind and stating it clearly
to the Boer delegates.
There is no occasion for stating the
reasons why the American people
are against Intervention in South At
RIGA, Notwithstanding the fact that
the sympathies of so large a portion
of them are with the struggling
Beers. They are generally known,
and are deemed so satisfactory that
neither party is urging it.

the Standard proceeded to ruin him in
the usual way-cutting prices below

by him, preferring to pay the higher
figure. He charged 10 cents a gallon
though the Standard vainly offered it
at half that price.

FIFTY-FOUR YEARS IN THE Pull
PIT

The venerable Dr. Theodore L. Guy
Ter of Brooklyn recently celebrated his
eightieth birthday anniversary. For
fifty-four years he has been a minister
of the gospel, of the Pres byterian de-
nomination. During his career he has
come into more or less close touch
with the great preachers of the times
the Beechers, Bushnell, Hodge, AL
exander, Thornwell, Olin and others
who have passed on to their reward,
as we'll as the present day prominent
wearers of the cloth. - His observa-
tions, covering as they do better than
half a century of pulpit endeavor, can
not fail to be of interest. DIR. Cuyler
was asked by the Independent re-
Gently for statement covering the
changes that had taken place in the
methods of the American pulpit within
his memory
When he was young preacher says
DR.. Cuyler, the average preaching was
more doctrinal than it is now. The
preachers pushed to the front such
deep and mighty themes as the at
tributes of God, the divinity of Jesus
Christ, the nature and desert of sin.
the atonement regeneration, faith. the
resurrection, and judgment to come.
with heaven and hell as tremendous
realities" The preaching was fervid.
eloquent, white-hot, and the sermons
glowed with earnestness and the eager
ness to save souls. The preaching
was directed chiefly to sinners. and
of salvation was pointed out to them.
Nowadays large portion of the SER
mons is addressed to professed Chris
tians; many others are addressed to
nobody in particular; but there is
much less of faithful, fervid, loving,
pungent and persuasive preaching to
the unconverted." This. says the Doc
tor, is one of the reasons for the ia
mentable decrease in the number of
conversions"
Fifty years ago the preachers were
not "hamstrung by any doubts of the
divine inspiration and perfect infalli.
bility of the Book that lay before them
Oll THEIR pulpiiS. Inefe was no QueS-
tion as to whether any part of the BIZ
BILE was open to reputation, and how
much of it should be accepted with
reservations. From cover to cover
every word of it was accepted. Now
the higher criticism" has had its eff
feet on the work of the pulpit.
DR.. Cuyler disclaims any purpose
to disparage the noble, conscientious
and self-denying labors of the great
army of workers in the pulpit. But
they have new conditions with which
to contend. They are surrounded with
an atmosphere of materialism; "the
ambition for, the seen things increas-
ingly blinds men to the things that
are unseen and eternal" The Jealous
pastor of. the present has to strive
against lowered reverence for the
Sabbath and a diminished habit of
attending the house of worship. The
new conditions, however, are not to
be met with any new theology. The
venerable minister pleads for a strong"
er hold upon the eternal verities of
the old gospel

THE PRINCES VISIT.

Prince Henrys visit is pretty nearly
ended. He will sail for home on the
Deutschland early this week. His re-
pectations in every particular. He has
been entertained with a cordiality and
courtesy that has pleased him beyond
expression.
The New York Herald still insists
that he came to this country for some
sort of a secret mission. Its dis
patches from Berlin at first said that
he was charged with the duty of tell
ing the Foreign Relations Committee
that if there was a desire to avoid
friction between the United States and
Germany it would be advisable for the
Senate to ratify the reciprocity treaty
between the two countries which had
been negotiated by John A. Kasson.
In its Fridays issue it has another
story from Berlin which is supple
mented by a dispatch from Washing
ton, to the effect that Germany de-
bean sea, and therefore wants a coal
ing and repair station in Central or
South American waters. On account
of the Monroe doctrine the consent of
the United States is necessary, and
Prince Henry was sent to this country
to get it.
1t is safe to say there is absolutely
nothing in this story. The Prince has
had no opportunity to discuss such a
matter with those who have iuris-
diction of it. Besides, what qualifica-
lions has the Prince for such a mis-
sion? He says himself that at home
he is chiefly useful to raDresenf the

lively settled that those injured by
the explosion of the Maine must look
to the United States for compensa-
ton. Individuals so circumstanced as
were the officers and crew of the
Maine cannot look to a foreign gov
eminent for compensation. If we could
have proved that Spain was respon-

our government could have collected
the indemnity and made such dispo-
