Several papers in the State have, Of
late, had great deal TO say relative TO
the candidacy of Senator 2rOome for
Governor Of the State two years hence.
We have up 20 this time been unable TO
interview the gentleman on the subject,
and are not in a position 20 say whether
the idea is contemplated or not In any
event, the suggestion on the part Of
our brethren is very kind one, and
those who know Senator Broome can
vOuch for the fact that with him as
Governor the State would certainly be
given a spotlefs administration, and his
sole desire would be TO give absolute
justice to all. There would be no chance
for scheminR politicians to pluck politi-
cal plums, nor one class TO receive
greater favor than another -Gadsden
Times.
Hon. James E. Broome, first, would
make Florida a good Governor should it
be decided that he is the man for that
position next time; second, he would
make Florida good Comptroller should
it be thought best for him to have that
position; or third, he might make
good Commissioner Of Agriculture; or
he might fill any other position well and
acceptably he might be elected to.
Once upon a time, in the long ago, his
father made Florida a good Governor,
and as the Senator has oftentimes been
tried and never found wanting, the peo-
pie Of Florida may see fit to call him to
one Of these greater positions Of trust
next time; for ourselves, we would
never register kick at his being the
Governor. James T. Broome is all
right, if Hon H Clay Crawford did
leave him behind in the race last time.

20 wait then until 1885, SINCE they had

DEMAND FOR FUEL OIL.
Independent shippers ORer More Per
Barrel Than Standard.

Chanute. Kas., Jan 4-The demand
for fuel oil is constantly increasing
throughout the Kansas oil field. This
is evidenced by the fact that shippers
are now in the field offering Is cents
a barrel for the oil at the wells. What
is more, they agree in case the price is
raised by the Standard, to make CORE
spending increases until the 60-cent
mark is reached. The Standard pays
35 cents for the fuel oil grades.
Whether the Independent buyers will
pay more than so cents if the price ad-
Vances is matter of conjecture.
The Independent buyers are getting
a large quantity of the fuel oil from
the Chanute field. too. The producers
would prefer to sell to the Standard if
treated right, even if the price which
it pays is a few cents less than the in
dependents pay. The Standard takes
the oil right at the wells It lays its
own pipe line and puts in its own con-
nections and the producer is not put
to the expense of laying his own line
to the nearest shipping point
The Standard, however. tacks on so
many penalties for different sorts of
things that it is Irritating to the pro-
ducers, and they are glad to escape
from its system even when they have
to others.
A refinery at Erie would be in oper-
alton now but for a rather humorous
error made in ordering the supplies.
By an oversight the pumps to force the
oil from the wells to- the refinery were
not ordered until a snort time ago,
when the plant was ready for opera
ton. and now the refiners are waiting
on the pumps. 1t is said that this Erie
refinery, the Great Western. will be
one of the biggest in the field. An
other refinery is what is known as the
Chanute and Austin refinery, which
was recently purchased by Charles p.
Martin, of this city. who represents
some of the biggest independent prop
critics of the district This plant will
start with capacity of 500 barrels
