THE PITTSBTTKG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1890. I & a.' TALK ON PENSIONS. Eepnblican Side of the House minded of Tast YarninIs He- BY TflEIE DEMOCRATIC BRETHEEN. Congressman Tcters Induces in a Farmers' Alliance Prediction. THE AITROPJUATIOK BILL PASSED Washington, Dec 5. The House went Into Committee of the Whole to-day on the pension appropriation bill, and Mr. Onth traite, of Ohio, said that in the debate, yes terday, charges had been made against the Commissioner of Pensions, which, if sus tained, brought the conduct of the officer very near to an impeachable offense. He criticised the conduct of the Commissioner in abandoning his post for the purpose of effecting on honest (sarcastically) election in the district of the gentleman from Indi ana (Mr. Cooper). (Mr. Cutcheon suggested that Commis sioner Black had taken part in Congressional elections. Mr. Outhwaite replied that if Mr. Black had done such things as Commissioner Kaum had done he should haTe been brought to justice for it He then proceeded to reproach the Republican House with shirking its duty, arguing that the pending bill would show a deficiency of at least ?32, 834,000. Charge of Partisan Action. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, said that a few months ago he had stood on this floor and declared that the Republicans of the House Vere refusing, for party purposes, to appro priate within f45,000.000 of the amount whicn would be required for pensions under existing law. j.ue ueciarauon uau ueen almost substantiated by the fact that the Commissioner now came in asking for a de ficiency of 534,500,000. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, said that the probability was that within seven years there would be 1,000,000 pensioners on the roll, who would be paid $170,000,000 annu ally. The first necessity was to meet the question frankly by adequate appropria tions; the second was to raise a committee to investigate the bureau thoroughly; the third was to transfer the bureau to the War Department and take it out of the domain of politics. IfThese were charges which gentlemen could throw at each other across the center aisle; but when gentlemen came to act as legislators, these charges ought to disappear from their consideration. Here were the people staggering under the burdens that had so distressed them that they were seek ing new alliances. Peters Acknowledges the Corn Mr. Meters, of Kansas, said the Demo cratic party was always flooded with tears in behalf of the soldier when it was out of power; but when it was in power it was quite a different thing. The Democratic party was endeavoring to embrace the Farmers' Alliance movement. He con ceded that the Republican party in Kansas had run against it and had been overthrown. It had received a black eye. Laughter. But the time was coming when the cyclone would strike Democratic States. It was now being entrenched in Texas and Mis souri; and in 1S92. gentlemen who were re lying upon the Alliance hosts would find that their hosts had disappeared, as the Re publican majority had disappeared in Kansas. Mr. Spinola, of Xew York, said that dur ing the last session he had called attention to the rambling ol thunder and had advised his Republican friends to put their ears to the earth. Bicxs "Wants to Bet. Mr. Biggs, of California, said that when his colleague (Mr. Morrow) stated that there would be no deficiency he stated what he knew to be untrue, and in order to back bis judgment he (Mr. Biggs) would bet 2,000 to $100. Laughter. On motion of Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, an amendment was adopted, providing that no acent or attorney shall demand, receive or be allowed any compensation in any claim for increase of pension on account of increase of disability. It is estimated by Mr. Dockery and Chairman Morrill, of the Invalid Pensions Committee, that this will save $5,000,000 to the pensioners within the next three vears. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, offered an amendment increasing to $150,000,000 the appropriation for the payment of pensions, which was lost. Mr. Biggs, of California, made a brief and humorous speech in the interest of an increased appropriation, which would pre vent a deficiency being thrown upon the Democratic House. He created a hearty laugh, when in conclusion, he ejaculated: "Ask the people of California, who stands foremost among them, W. W. Morrow, or Marion Bigss; and the answer will be 'Biggs, by 50,000 majority.' " After further debate, the committee rose, thj bill was passed, and the House ad journed.

Continued from First Page. In additiou to their functions as jetties they can be made to act as dredges; as anyone familiar with the Plenum process will readily see. It is also proposed to use these portable jetties in connection with other proved expedients to carry out the idea of Captaiu Eads, in sinking' the bed of the Mississippi below the alluvial deposits and carving or making it carve for itself a course in the underlying clays, thus securing to the lower river States good drainage and free dom from washouts. Subsequent papers will contain drawings of the sectional balanced automatic mov able dams, portable jetties and balanced quick-acting locks; and further, a demon stration of the fact that only by lowering the bed of the Lower Mississippi below the level of the adjacent land can we be assured of safety from future disasters too apalling to be imagined. In order that these navigable waters may not threaten the health of the inhabitants, it will be further necessary to pass laws for bidding the cities on their banks to sew er into them. There are at present in practical operation systems of sewerage sep aration which have been demonstrated by vears of successful practice to be profitable business enterprises from the valuable fertilizers which are saved, aside from their beneficial effect upon the public health, and in view of which it is a reproach to us that we continue to pollute our streams with what we could readily convert into a source of wealth. Tho Federal Government's 'Work. In order that such a "system as is here out lined should serve the purpose for which it is created, it is necessary that it be operated by authority in accordance with well digested plans. It would, therefore, prop erly be under the permanent eontrol of the Chief of Engineers ot the United States Army, manned by trained men, enlisted and of rank according to their several stations, and operated with that vigilance and pre cision which is best attained by military discipline. An outline of the method and its mode of operation will be suggested in a later paper. it is beyond question that this is a public work beyond all precedent in its cost, extent and far reaching effects upon our country and upon onr people. Since the time of the Roman Empire there has never been suggested any system of national roads, and the first thought of many people will doubtless be, that this is an undertaking too vast for our energies, and too expensive for our means; and that it is proposed to pledge the Government to a vast outlay to attain ends, one of which at least, that of securing means of transportation, had best be left to private enterprise. Bnt to that argument it maybe replied, that if one man, a citizen of the United States or an alien, were in a position certainly to lose his life unless speedily succored, and if it were in the power o'f our people or our Government to rescue him, we would move as one man, pour out our money and risk our lives to save him. Such a deed appeals to our humanity and to our love of glory. It stirs the popular heart, and the successful rescuer is enshrined iu song and story among the heroes of our race. Demanded by Generosity and Justice. We are a humane people, loving one an other and serving one another to the extent of our ability, and tne first appeal to justify works of this character must be an appeal to our humanity and brotherly love. Instead of pressing to save one life, to accomplish which the people would undoubtedly spend millions, it is proposed to save thousands of lives; instead of rescuing one man from danger it is proposed to rescue a whole nation from certaiu death; instead of carry ing food and succor to a handful of perish ing heroes in an Arctic hut, it is proposed to carry redemption to a million people in the fever-stricken regions of tne South. This action is demanded not less by generosity than by justice. The action of nature and the accidents of history have so organized the Mississippi Valley that at recurring periods the drain age ot the populons and prosperous North ern sections floods and devastates the South ern portion. It is not justice for the North ern portion to reap the benefits and leave to the Southern portion only the losses and misery. We ought at least to provide a suitable sewer to our own houses and not drain our waste water upon our neighbors, property. The inhabitants of the high and well drained Northern section should assist, iu proportion to their wealth, to ptovide a system of drainage which will insure to all the inhabitants ot the Mississippi Valley an equal chance for health, and not, by shirking their responsibilities, entail upon the dwellers in the Southern section the cer tainty of yearly recurring fevers. A Strictly Constitutional Undertaking. To the argument that it is not a proper function of government to undertake work of this nature, let us reply that it is the proper function of Government to assure to its citizens life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as was publicly set forth upon a well known occasion. No one can question that this work will save life; no one can question that it will insure to all tbe -people of the Mississippi Val ley a liberty they do not at present enjoy, and that is, the liberty of a free ex change of products one with another. At present no extended traffic or intercourse is possible except along the lines of a very highly organized railway system, the nature of which requires to the successlul discharge of the duties of a common carrier, such per fections of organization, such far-reaching combinations, and the command of such vast sums of money and armies of organized laborers, as to be limited to a very few people. These people, by the nature and duty of their position, are entrusted with powers greater than should be entrusted to any single citizen iu a constitutional Gov ernment. Their action has repeatedly shown that they yield to their temptations and subvert the powers at their command from a proner purpose that of common carriers into engines of oppression, of robbery and of corruption. Instead of serving the natural growth of the country they retard it in one place and grant to their favorites and co-conspirators in linother place privileges and lavors, which are paid for by the people, thus robbing the people to enrich the favorites of the corpora tions and the officers thereof. The desire to make dishonest profits has led to unjust combinations, to attacks upon public and private morals, upon the public purse, and upon the property of private citizens, and to selfishly endangering the lives of railway employes and the people indiscriminately. The Crimes of Corporations. There are few crimes which have not been committed by corporations in tbe pur suit of illegal gains; not because the officers of the railroad corporations are weaker or wickeder than other men, but because their temptations are greater and because they havei that which always leads to crime, unrestrained unaccountable power. The Government ot the United States and the Governments of the States have tried by statute to control these corporations, but so far their efforts have generally failed. The power which the railroads have of starving the people unless they choose to bring them food; of shutting up their fac tories unless they chose to bring them materials:, of freezing the people unless they chose to bring them coal, so nearly touches us in life, liberty and pursuit of happiness as to set the Declaration of Inde pendence at nought so far as railways arc concerned. That they do not scruple "to use these powers we know. We have seen New York City shiver while the railways struggled with their em ployes to complete their subjugation, and for lack of fuel we have seen the industries of the Eastern States paralyzed and tbe working people idle; we have seen a general stoppage of labor due to wicked combina tions of the coal-producing railways. Such acts are acts of war, and diiMhey proceed from a foreign nation we would answer theui with tbe boom of cannon. Wc have seen hundreds ot indnstries aban doned and thousands of people ruined by illicit combinations of the railways among themselves and with their confed erates; we have seen men of very ordinary abilities amass colossal fortunes and dom inate important industries by reason of transportation and drawback contracts with the corporations, giving them unjust ad vantages at the expense of their competitors and the people. To Regulate Inter-State Commerce. Acting upon its constitutional preroga tive to regulate inter-State commerce the United States Government has recently at tempted to control the operations of the transportation corporations at least in their more objectionable forms but so far without that degree of success which would commend the effort to the admiration of the people. But what the Government of the United States cannot accomplish by statute law it can accomplish by undertaking on a grand scale what was done half a century ago, by the State of New York. We have only to go to the line of the Erie Canal and the great lakes to see the railway corporations most effectually re strained and held to their duties as common carriers by the operation of competing free water transportation; and it is undoubtedly practicable for the United States Govern ment most effectually to regulate inter-State commerce in the Mississippi Valley, and that without interference or inquisition, but rather to enlarge the freedom and opportuni ties of the citizens by rendering navigable the Mississippi and all its tributaries, thus creating cheap transportation in a far reach ing system of navigable waterways free to all the people. H00KST0WN REVIVED. SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE OLD FIELD. When the Drilling There Is Completed Producers in This Section "Will Quit Until Spring Keports From the Various Important Centers. rsrrci.it. txlepbam to Tint DISPjLTCn.l Hookstown, Dec 6. The old Hooks town field of late is looking up a little, and a small strip of territory, which was not until recently considered good, is being drilled and some fair wells found. The new development is located between the Nickel and Rail pools. Duff Bros.' first well here was a gasser on the Ramsey farm. They then went further southeast on the same farm and got a 25-barrel well, and they have just now completed No. 3 southwest from No. 2, which is good for 15 barrels a day. There are a number of other wells drilling in this old pool, but when the work now under way is completed producers here, almost with one accord, will suspend drilling until the opening of merry spring. Chabtiers Marlarkey & Co. are hav ing good luck iu the Chartiers field, a fact that their mary friends are glad to see. Their last venture on the Sculley started off at a 700-barrel-a-day gait, and to-day is holding up at 12 barrels an hour. Gringo The Ohio Valley Gas Company have brought iu their No. 3, which had ten feet of good sand and a liberal amount of the caloric fluid. It will make as good, or perhaps abetter, well than their No. 1. The latter well, it will be remembered, had 18 feet of san', and Superintendent Mason in formed The Dispatch to-day that it was not as good a well as No. 3, and had not more than half the volume of gas. No. 1 has been treated with a 30-quart shot, which increased both its gas and oil. As de veloped by the Ohio Valley Company this section ot the country at present does not indicate anything more than a small pool. Canadian Oil The Dispatch repre sentative to-day had a talk with Mr. F. W. Mitchell, one of the principal refiners in the Ohio acid, and who has recently built a large refinery at Petrolia, Landerton coun ty, Ont. Mr. Mitchell says the oil found here is of the same quality as the Lima oil. The production of the Petrolia pool is about 3,000 barrels a day, and the refiners pav SI 30 a barrel for it at the wells. The well's here do not average a barrel a day, aud at present there is considerable activity in new work. Mr. Mitchell says this is one place the Standard is not in it, and tbe refining inter ests all held by independents. The wells are only 180 feet "deep, and cost $150 to drill them. The Duncan & Co. well is still holding up at 30 barrels per day. The well on Billr farm will get the eureka sand to-morrow and is an important one. It is three-louiths of a mile northeast of the Duncan well. Johnston & Co. 'swell on the island at Find lay is 2,000 feet deep and no oil. Johnston &Larsen got a big gas well at Alum Cave, on French creek. They are going to drill it to a depth of 2,500 feet. Joe Hey drick is drilling on the F. Cochran farm at a depth of 1.000 feet. This well is the farth est down the Ohio river from Belmont. AV. J. Steele, who is drilling a well on Bull creek, has been fishing for tools four weeks. Decker, Allexander & Co. are drilling their well deeper, on Bull creek. This well is one mile east of the Pool well. H. Mc.
