The Attack on Roosevelt.

A many-columned attack upon Prosi-
dent Roosevelt which appeared in a num-
Der of Democratic papers yesterday most
strikingly illustrated the impregnable
position occupied by the present chief
executive of the Nation. There are a
number of counts in the indictment
against him, and it is difficult to decide
which of them is the weakest and most
ridiculous. The first grave offense
charged to him is that he refused TO en-
broil the Nation in controversy with
Great Britain by interfering with the
Boer war. Such interior ence would have
done the Beers nc good and would have
subjected our government to well de-
served criticism. The next charge is that
he put an end to the interminable Samp-
son-Schley controversy, an act which it is
now admitted by the fair-minded men on
both sides was timely and sensible. A
third count relates to his course in re-
gard to Venezuela's trouble with the
European powers Inasmuch as that
poubiO was Guutu III u lldilntT WHICH
has received the praise ofthe world, ow-
ing to the measures taken by President
Roosevelt and his advisers, the weakness
of the charge is apparent. His attitude
concerning the trust question is chal-
lenged, but his record thereNn is entirely
satisfactory to every iair-minded citizen.
Tho laniSlatinn nm tho Snhiaot anaatol NJ
his instance by the last Congress and the
measures taken by the Attorney General
to enforce the law furnish him, in fact,
with a complete defense against the
charge of weakness or insincerity.
The Presidents firmness in insisting
upon proper treatment for the negro,
and in standing by appointments made
by him of creditable members of the race,
is another charge against him. The At
lanta Constitution" the leading Demo-
cratic paper of the South, speaking upon
this subject a few days ago, said the me-
gro question could not be made an issue
in the next National campaign. Ger
tainly, il it is, it will not hurt President
Roosevelt in the Northern or Western
States. A trivial complaint is made be-
cause of the Presidents utterance con-
corning race suicide, but it is needless to
discuss this seriously. Objection is made
because of the Presidents recent utter
ance against lynchjng, utterances which
several Democratic Governors have endor-
sed. The ridiculous claim is made that
his letter on the subject to Gov. Durham
onght to have reproved the latter for re-
fusing to permit Taylor, the rightful
Governor of Kentucky, TO be taken back
to that state to be imprisoned on a bogus
charge brought against him by the men
who stole the position he was elected to.
Then, although the President was, as has
been said, accused OF not doing his duty
in enforcing antitrust legislation, we are
informed that he will lose votes because
he has taken too radical a stand upon the
subject. Finally, President Roosevelt is
charged with having done wrong in TAX
ing the action which settled the anthra-
cite miners strike, an act which in itself
alone will give him many more thous
ands of votes than will be withheld from
him on account of all the other false and
ridiculous charges enumerated above
Pittsburg Times.

West Virginia.

Ed. Republican:
l was looking over the REPUBLICAN
this evening and reading some of the
items the thought came to me to write to
your paper and describe some of the oil
fields of West Virginia.
There are hills here which are 700 feet
high, and on one hill about seven miles
from here, standing on top of a derrick
you can see old Pennsylvania hills
looming up in the distance, some twenty
miles away. The majority of the hills
are wooded so this affords great advan-
tage for the r~igbottorns, The hills are
very steep and TO illustrate | will repeat
a story a native told: One morning,
bright and early, a man went out and
called his cow, but no COW came, so he
climbed to the pasture field near the top of
a hill and when he got to the top he found
his cow had fallen into his neighbors
com field. Upon investigation he found
a land slide had carried the COW into his
neighbours field.
Some wells are located upon the top,
sides and foot of hills like the one above
described. A rig-builder says, "Why out
here upon a rig | helped to build, on one
side you can lay your hand against the
hill, while on the lower side, if one should
fall, he would never stop until he touches
the creek, some 80 feet below the rig"
Some people live in tents and log
cabins. l saw a log cabin nearly nine
miles from here TO which a pig-pen is at
tache1, and the chickens roost over head
on the ~rafters, while the calf slept in the
same room. l believe l would sleep out
under the stars rather than have fowls.
calves and other live stock, including
bed-bugs, tleas, creepers and other pests,
for DOMINATES.
There are quite a number of former
Forest county people in this section.
Blaine Morrison, son of Postmaster Nor
rison of M~arienville, has a good position
here and is making money. The oil eX-
element is at tle top most pitch i'm this
community, and everything is on the go.
Team work runs from $3.50 to $500 per
day. Some days as high as 300 teams
pass our house, and there seems almost a
steady stream during the day. The
sights n sees at times almost beggar
description.

ACCORDING to a Washington dispatch,
the days of the crisp bank notes are num-
bered, and their place will be filled by
notes that will be soft, pliable, and vel
vety. Officials of the United States
Treasury Department are experimenting
with paper treated by a lately discovered
chemical process, and are already much
in favor of the change. BY the appli-
cation of chemical mixture of a Japa-
nese paper napkin that article becomes as
soft and pliable as silk. The chemical
preparation acts as an anti-septic and
p~reservative. When applied to old docu-
ments IL seems to knit the fibre together
and prevents decay.

ONE of the New York papers proposes
Gen. Miles as a candidate for vice presi.
dent on the Democratic ticket. As the
general has often been mentioned for
head of the ticket, this suggestion is
hardly likely to strike him favorably. OF
course, no Democrat, nor anybody else
except Miles himself, knows how he
stands on any of the big issues. This,
however, would moi be a drawback to the
general. No tw of the Democratic NOM
ination possibilities stand together on all
the questions. The Democrats could
take mp Miles with as little risk as they
could nominate Parker, German or Hill.
Each OF these DIVORCES from all the rest
on some issue or other, but this fact does
not prevent them from being mentioned
as possibilities. Miles might easily be a
good enough Morgan until after the cleo
ton.

Flood Oil.

During the days of the oil excitement
in the Pleasantvilie field and in the vi
cinity of Pithole, the Farel farm, between
Pl%easantville aud Pithole, wa operated
Oh and proved quite prolific. The recent
strikes near the old United States well on
old territory induced Farel d Davidson
to drill a well on the old farm. 1t has
been completed and the indications are
for a first class producer. The first head
pumped was 40 barrels. IT is doubtless a
fact that the production is what is known
as "hood" oil. 1t is known to all pro-
ducers of this section that in many of the
local fields, after wells have been pumped
a certain length of time the oil is ex-
hausted or drained or driven out by an
influx of water and, that sometimes years
afterwards the oleaginous fluid gains the
supremacy and floods out the water or
drives it back from other places, again
making the apparently worthless terri
tory valuable. This has been the case
several times in the Tidioute and other
fields of this part of Pennsylvania and
along the Allegheny in Butler and Arm
strong counties. The newly completed
well is several hundreds of feet ahead of
the developments of Csrnahan IL Co.,
whose wells completed some time ago
are reported to still be doing from 10 to %
barrels. The production if the oil is of
the flood" variety will continue until it
is exhausted or it is forced out by water.
The terrltoSy is shallow and the drilling
comparatively inexpensive. Tit0svilA

GoRNAN's boomers among the Demo-
Gratis can not understand how it is that
the Republicans are disposed to welcome
that parsonage as a personal candidate.
This is all easy. The Republicans would
be glad to see German nominated, be-
cause Of the fact that they believe he
would be weak. The Republicans are
supporting Bryan for a like reason. Cor
man never had the e~loquence, the mag
netism nor the popularity Of Bryan, but
everybody knows that Bryan as the can
didate in 1904 would get fewer votes than
he received in 1900. German would be
one ofthe feeblest nominees whom the
Democrats could choose. If he were the
candidate it wodld be hard to inject much
excitement into the canvass. II the
Democrats want 10 con fer an especial IA
yor on the Republican party they will
nominate the Maryland trickster.

Pittsburs Authorities Object to the In


Pittsburg, Aug. 17.-Detectiye Roger
O'Mara served notice on J.. r. p.
Brown. a brother Of former Recorder
j. o. Brown, to the effect that unless
the present inquiry into the death of
Recorder Brown was stopped, a peti.
ton would be presented to the court
praying for an injunction to stop it.
Clarence Burleigh, former district at.
torney, who was present with j.. o..
Brown when he died, wrote and signed
the notice.
Burleigh has referred to the inquest
as g "coronial' fishing excursion, be-

the will of j. O. Brown. Jesse Nc
Geary. the coroner, was a nephew of
Recorder Brown. His niece received
by the will a 20. 000-acre ranch in South
Dakota for which the deed cannot be
found. Coroner McGeary said he
would continue the inquest in spite Of
the threat.
