A STANDARD SCHEME.
Kaatern Pene Ivanta eitlea te be Liberally

Can be Foaeit But or the Alltgtienlcs.
Within the next 00 days the Standard Oil
company hope te announce that natural
gas can be furnished te Harrlsburg, Lan
caster, Philadeljbla and all Intervening
towns and cities. Leasee of Immente tracts
of land along the range of the Bine Moun
tains have already been secured, oeverlng
thousands et acres located In no lesa than
five counties, and the operation et drilling
for the gaa baa already liegun by empleyes
et tbe company, and within five miles of
Harrlsburg.
About eight months age a large corps of
ceoleclsta and prospectors beean a care
ful inspection et the valleys lying east of
the ridges end spurs of the Bine Moun
tains, situated In Perry and Mlfllln coun
ties. A fter several months' work a report
was made which gave sueh faverable
bowing that It was at once decided te se se
eure all available land in the territory al
ready examined. A special agent of the
oempany, F. O. Bellamy, was accord Ingly
sent te the ground and set te work procur
ing land grants. Mr. Bellamy has been as
sisted In Ibis labor by Lawyer A. M.
Rbeads, or Carlisle, and several ether,
and se quietly has It been carried en that
It Is only quite recently any knowledge
of their operation! baa come tellght
Thus far the use or between 33,000 and
40,000 acres of land, chiefly In mountainous
reulenc. has been obtained thrnntrh irranta
from the owners. The vast district Ilea In
Perry, Dauphin, Mlfllln, Juniata and
Huntingdon counties, reaching virtually
from Harrlsburg te the nearest eattsrn alepe
of the Allegbenlcs. This mueh accom
plished, preparations were at once nude
te begin drilling a well, and all the requisite
machinery was shipped te Harrlsburg. At
this point it wa discovered that a party el
usrnauurg capitalists nsa aireaay inaae
considerable progress in the search for gas.
The Harrlsburg Natural Uaa and Mineral
oempany had sunk a well near Lucknow,
five miles above the city, te a depth of
17,000 feet Me success up te that
time been met with, and the lunds of the
company were running se short that it wes
prebsble operations would have te be sus
pended. The Standard very promptly, but
quietly, obtained a controlling interest in
the local oempany, and It was announced
that the present well would be abandoned,
and that under a contract with new oper
ators, in which oentraot the name of tbe
Standard did net appear, another well
would be sunk at a point net far distant.
The Standard's drill is new in motion
about hair a mlle baek of Lucknow, and it
will penetrate terra ilrma 3,000 feet, if nec
essary, te find the gareeus fuel.

bia gun clubs, carried off the first honors in
the blue rock contest, winning the cham
pionship medal for that contest with the

Tne Democratic flan el Itetnatleg the Burden

A llo.len te the l'etnotie Adminis
tration of rrelcttnt Cleveland.
Following Is Judge Thutman'a letter of
acceptance :
OeLUilnus, O., Oot 12, 1838 Hen.
Patrick A. Cellins and ethers, oemratttee
Gentlemen : In obedience te custom, I
send you this formal acceptance of my
nomination ler the office of vlee president
of tbe Uniied State, made by the national
convention of the Democratic party at St
Leuis.
When you did me the honor te call upon
me at Ceiumlms and olllelally notify me of
my nomination I expressed te you my
seu se of obligation te the convention, and
stated that although 1 bad net sought the
nomination I did net feel at liberty, under
the circumstances, te decline it I thought
then, as 1 still think, that whatever I oeuld
properly de te promote the re eleollen et
Prenldeut Cleveland I ought te dr.
Ula administration has been marked by
sueh integrity, geed sense, manly courage
and exalted patriotism that a just apprecia
tion et thee e high qualities secies te eall for
ma re-eieciien. 1 am also strongly Im
presied with the belief that his re election
would powerfully tend te strengthen that
feeling or fraternity among tbe Amerletn
people that la se essential 10 their welfare,
peace and bapplnes?, and te the perpetuity
of the Union and of our free institutions.
I spprove tbe platlerm of the St Leuis
convention, and I cannot tee strongly ex
press my dissent from the heretical teach
ings el the monopolists that the welfare et
a peeple can be promoted by a system of
exorbitant taxation far In excess et the
wants (it the government,
The Idea that a peeple cau be enriched by
heavy and unnecessary taxation, tbat a
man's condition can be improved by taxing
him en all he wears, en all bis wife and
children weer, en all his tools and Imple
ments of Industry, Is an obvious absurdity.
Te fill the vaults et the treasury with an
Idle surplus for which the government has
no legitimate use, and te thereby deprive
the peeple of tbe currency needed for their
business and dally want, and toereatoa
powerful and dangernus stimulus toox teox toex
travagauco and corruption Iu the expendi
tures et the government, seems te me te
be a policy at variance with every sound
prlnolple of government and of political
auuuuujy.
The neeeestty of reducing taxation te
prevent such an accumulation of surplus
revenue, and tbe consequent depletion of
the circulating niedium, is se apparent tbat
no party dares te deny it ; but when we
oemo te consider the modes by which tbe
reduction may be made we find a wide an
tagonism between our party and the
monopolistic leaders of our political oppo
nents. We seek te red u co taxes unen the neces
saries of life ; our opponents seek tolnerea'e
them. WetayiGive te the masses of the
people ehesp and Reed clothing, cheap
blankets, cheap tools and cheap lumber.
The Republicans, by their platform and
their leaders In the henate, by tbelr pro
posed bill, say : Increase the taxes en cloth
ing and blankets and thereby increase their
cost; maintain high duty en the tools of
the farmer and mecharJle at d upon the
lumber whlen they need ler the construc
tion et their modest dwellings, shops and
barnt, and thereby prevent their obtaining
these necessaries at reaaenable prices.
Can any i-enelble man doubt as te where
be should stand la this controvert 7 Can
any wall-Informed man be deceived by the
false pretense that a system se unreal ona'jle
and unjust la for the benefit of Jauerlng
men?
Much Is said about competition of Amor Amer Amor
lean laborers with the pauper labor of
Eurepe ; but does net overy man who leeks
around nim see and knew tbatan iuimcnae
majority 01 the laborers in America are net
engaged in what are called the prcteeted
industries 7 And as te these who are em
ployed In such Industries, is it net undo
nlable that tbe duties proposed by tue Dem
ocratic measurti called the Mills bill far
exceed tbe dlUttrence betwnen American
and Eurcpjan wages, and that therefore, it
it wero admitted that our werklngmen
could be protected by tariff against
cheaper labor, they would de lully pro
tected, aud mero than protected, by that
bill?
Dees net every woU-lnfermol man
knew that the luerease In price of home
manufactures produced by a high tarlll
does net go into tbe pockets of the laboring
man, but only tends te swell the profits of
ethers?
It teems te me that If the policy of the
Democratic party Is plainly presented all
must underBtand that we seek te make the
cost of living leas and at the same time in
crease the sbare of the laboring man In the
benefits et national prosperity and growth.
I am, very respectfully, your eDedlent
servant, Allen G, Tmubmax.
POLITICAL MOIKS,
The demonstration of New Yerk business
men In favor et Cleveland and Thurman
en .Saturday afternoon was all tbat tbe most
dovetod supporter et the Democratic tleket
oeuld have desired, The meeting before
tbe sub-treasury, In Wall stroel, embraced
a crowd of probably 15,000 listeners, Inde
pendent of tboae who took part in the
parade, A substantial platform en tbe sub
treasury steps contained tbe invited cuent,
and It was gorgeously decorated with flags
and streamers. A large peitralt of Presi
dent Cleveland and auetuer or Allen G.
Thurman were suspended en two lart;e
pillars of the butidlug facing tbe peeple.
Secretary Falrchlld and Speaker Carlisle
were tbe principal speakers. Tbe pared 0
Included 20,000 ompleyorH and empleyes.
Congressman Samuel J. Randall was en
Saturday formally notified et bis renoml reneml renoml
natlen by the Democrats In his district
The cominlltee waited upon Mr. Randall
at his home in Berwyn. Mr. Randall
spoke words of praise for President Cleve
land and his administration, and declared
tbat the best lnteresta of tbe oeuntry de,
manded tbat be should be re elected. Mr.
Randall thought that the tariff should be
reduced se as te cut dewu the treasury sur
plus without cllMiub.DK the buainesiand
trade of the country,
Fletcher Zslngat, or Carlisle, Pa., who
was a soldier In the war, and has Blwayu
been a Republican, has announced his In
tention et supporting Cleveland and tarltl
reform. He nays he had long been In the
dark, but tbat after listening tnaspeeth
dellvered by ex Congressman Frank E.
Bellzhoevor, et tbe Nluuieentn district, he
cempare 1 the Ihue of tbe two parties and
discovered that the Dotnecratlo party Is the
Fiarty for the weiklngman, aud the Kopub Kepub
lam party tbe party et the monepollxt.
He Ih new In favor of a reduotien of the
tariff as advocated In President Cleveland'
meseaite, and as submitted te Congress in
the Mills bill. He believesthat the present
administration La) beea the true friend of
the soldier.
J. U. Lambert, oneol the editors el tbe
Philadelphia l'tca, lain Michigan. Writing
of tbe situation iu that statu hu says: "1
believe Michigan Mill give a geed Republi
can majority, but It will net de it If there Is
net the meat watchful care. The kind et
campaign which the Democrats have carrled
en Is dangerous In tbe extreme, and It
would be easily e-lieottve if net vigorously
fought That the Democrats have tiepj for
results Is openly shown iu the fact that they
have already employed a great deal of out
side help. But tbere la no present weakness
in the Republican lines uulers It be en the
Upper Peninsula, and the Information from
theie Is net se complete as from ether sec
tions." Rev. Edward Cornet, a prominent Meth
odist preacher et Len( Branch, who hereto
fore has voted the Republican ticket, will
vote for Pealdent Cleveland's retoutlea at
thei head of ibe government Mr. Cornet
said, "I consider Grever Cleveland the best
president the United SUtcs has had since
Llnoeln, In my opinion he has lived up te
bis pled re aud the spirit of the plalfeim en
which he was eltisted as nearly as any
human being oeuld."
Tae chairman of the Democratic national
oemmltteo talks in the most confident tone
et the political situation in all of the so se
called doubtful states. He does net think
the local fights In New YeiK city will
Jeopardize the rwulUutae state at Urge,
but points te tbe necessity for hard work
en the part et the national committee te
keep the Empire state In line. A letter
was received yesterday from a prominent
San Francisce politician, who feels assured
thst Cleveland and Thurman will carry
California. "Han Franolseo," he say,
"will give a Democratic mslerlty of 8,000,
which will make the state Demoeratlo by
nearly 3,000. The local estimate Is change!
and the antl-Cblneae convictions et the
administration are lully recognized. Clove Cleve
land has net only shown the fact tbat he
sympathizes with us, but he has done
everything in his power te relieve us."

Et'ltRATA, OJt, 15. Stturday was a gala
day for our town, thu event belng Ihoopen Iheopen Ihoepen
lug of the Hphrala driving pstk,
Thst Ephrata has a race track is principally
due te the efforts of Beveral of our sporting
men, who early lit tbe summer held a
number et races at Rnthsvllle. This they
found te be rnthur lucenvenlent and be
came Impressed with the Idea that this
place should have a track et its own. The
matter was talked about and Koveral meet
ings wero held. The prlme movers of the
affair were Jehn Seldomrldge, D, J,
MeCas, Adam Rehm, F. M. Coevor, D. W.
Winters, Jacob Seldnmrltlge and anumber
of ethers. They decided te push the
matter tn nn end, and a oemmlttoo
was appointed who nfler considerable
work Buoeeoded In securing a sultable place.
They leased a tlne plece of land sullleleiit
for a bait mile truck for five years an the
farm et Strohl k Molxell, a short dlatance
northeast el town along the Cocalleo creek.
After the ground wan secured no tlme was
lest in putting It into excellent condition
aud in a few weeks it was made a line a
track as any In tbe county. Wben the
work Is oemplottd, whieh will be in tlie
near future, it Is expected te Buipiss them
all. Considerable difficulty has been ex
perienced en account et the frcquent heavy
rain storms In keeping tne track In geed
condition.
After tbe work of constructing the track
was progressing very rapidly It was decided
te have a grand opening day, and Jacob
Soldemrlgo, an onergetlo young gontleman
of the town, undertook te leek after the
necessary arraugements te make the allrtlr
a success.
Saturday was the tlme set for tbe open
ing, but ter a tlme It was thought that It
would have te he postponed, owing
te tbe rain of Friday night and
Saturday morning. This made the
track semewhat heavy, but did net
neoeskltato the postponement et the
races. When tbn grounds were opened tbe
crowd began te arrive, and upwards et
1,000 paid tboadinttslenfooot butteneents.
The Epbrata band was en the grounds and
discoursed excellent music. Messrs. Jehn
Seldomrldge, D. N. Winters mid Jehn
Relsnd acted ss JudgCH, and thelr doelslons
gave satisfaction. Thore Beamed te be a
disregard of rulOH, however, and the drlveis
were allowed tee many privileges.
There wero four trots and ene running
race. The last was bet weeu mules, and it
created a great deal of tun. Several of tbe
animals left the tiaek and ran aoreav the
fields, mueh te the dlegust of the boys who
rede but oeuld net control them. The
audlence was greatly ainused overthe rsce.
The result nf the races are given as fellows,

there were no bends te be botiithttxcept en

The only eertaiuly lawlul menus et avert
