The latest thing to command atten-
tion from those interested, is crude oil
and all sorts Of things are credited to

man, abandoned by his physicians,
who sought the oil fields, lived and
rcughed it for several years in the very
heart OF the industry. eat the stuff,
GisHk it, bathed in ii; and now he is
renewed and has lease on life as good
as any mans. These remarkable mani
festations are not to be denied, they are
susceptible Of confirmation and dispute
only upon deliberate trial, and this i
why they are not tried out oftener;
maRy victims Of the malady are too
poor to change their habitat and too
discouraged to seek the relief even if
they had the emans.
Ii Is part Of the lesson OF life that
the simplest and most unsuspeeted
agencies are the surest and most effec-
tive in the curing Of reputed incurable
diseases, and like other lessons it is
ignored because of our predisposition to
the elaborate and scientific systems OF
treatment devised and recommended by
the physicians. 1t takes courage to cut
loose from preconcieyed ideas and fol-
low the simpler calls and pledges, even
with so vital an incentive as the regain
ing of broken health. We are creatures
Of habit and circumstance, and are not
easily weaned from the beaten paths,
and for this reason, nine-tenths Of the
ills OF life are perpetuated.
We hope the crude oil theory for
consumption is all that is claimed for
it, but the simplicity Of the idea is what
will discredit it. There is no style, no
culture, no display nor elaboration
about it, therefore it will be left untried
and Intellectual, except for those who are
70 poor they cannot turn to anything
else, and dwell next to the oil sources.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

Governor Gillette, of California, is an
ardent arbitrationist in the matter Of
the final adjustment of conditions be-
tween the capitalist and organized Ia
bor; and intends to inaugurate some
plan, with the power Of the state behind
it, compelling the submission of all
issues to board Of final arbitration. We
wish him success and the movement
also. The scope and frequency of these
contests warrant some such device and
the man "between the neither and the
upper mill-stones,' the citizen who has
to bear the brunt Of loss and denial OF
the necessities and conyeniences of pub
lie service, will hail the day and the
law that puts both these contending
elements on a common plane of action
and makes them equally amenable to a
rule that stands for the maintenance Of
service while the phases of contest are
undergoing honest adjustment. 1t can
be done if there Is any desire for the
accomplishment on the part Of those
most nearly affected; and public opin-
ion will soon force it, however it may
be disputed.
Every other element of discord as be-
tween men has to undergo the arbitra-
ment of the law, and there is no rea-
son why the issues arising between
these forces should not have "their day
