A Fret Pipe Bill bat paued the Leglela- tnre. bat from an elimination of the mea sure w believe It to be tread. It la en cumbered with the following proviso, wbick tbe Pittsburgh MaUaaye wac lacked to It by Mr. McJunkee member of Assembly from this county: "Provided, That no line of pipe shell be laid under authority ot tbls aet within five miles ef tbe State line for the purpose of carrying oil ont of the Stale, and that tbe owners, producers and shippers of all oil In tended tor Baltimore, Philadelphia and New Tort, usiog pipe laid under tbls set, shall give preference to Hoes of rosd traveling tbe greatest distance in this Stale at tbe same rates of transportation." It looks to os as though this so tailed free Pips BUI bsd been passed more in tbe Interest of the Pennsylvania Railroad than of tbe oil producers, as every one knows that line Is tbe longest one In the State, and consequently the name might as well have teen Inserted. Mr. MoJ. mey be all right oa tbs subject, but there Is something rotten bout the bill, "which tbe same" smells exceedingly strong. What we wsnt is a Free Pipe Bill about as stated below: To the Honorable the Senate and House of Kepretenlaiwes t venerai Assemaig met: Tbe undersigned, citizens ot Pennsylvania, would respectfully demand that tbe reetrte tions and conditions attached to tbe Free Pi tie Bill be repented. Nothing short of tbls action will be satis factory. We want a Free Pipe Bill la fact as well as in name. Give us a free pipe bill but do not insult us by palming off patebed up bill which shows soapUolty with the enemy on the face of It. Can Mr. McJnnkio explain tbe whys and wherefores tbereoff A good many people hereabouts would like to know.

Won der If the Commercial editor is green enough for a moment to think that tbe people of the oil regions are Incapable of seeing through bis labored efforts to plaster np tbe South Improvement Co., and make bis resders believe that all Is quiet la tbe oil region, and the producers have given themselves up, body and soul, to tbe monopoly. Such Is not tbe ease. Tbe difficulty Is not settled, oor will It be, until tbe vast scheme of plun der le crushed out, aod Its Instigators, agents, subsidized newspapers, rotten rail road corporations, and ring of outlaws are made to know tbey oennot control tbe free men of the oil region of Pennsylvania. Tbe Commercial is a good newspaper, and bss always been popular in this region but its recent course is fast making enemies for II hereabouts, which faot it will discover ere long. Until recently we bad always given the Pittsburgh papers the credit of being untrammelled and outspoken on every sub ject; bat their action on tbe monopoly ques tion shows plainly ibst tbey are in tbe In terest of the So.

"Leaves hsve tbeir timo to fail, And Sowers to wither at the north-wtnd's breath, And stars lo set but si', Thou hast all seasons for thine own, eh! Death." Another family circle has been made des olate, and another Infant spirit has taken Its flight to tbe "land beyond the silver moonbeams and tbe stars of night"; beyond tbe chilling winds and storms of earth; Its tiny feet have "olimbed tbe golden stair and passed to tbe shining strand over the river."

The working elassesju the oil regions are highly iodignant at tbe Southern Improve ment Company. Tbe laboring men have been furnished constant and profitable em ployment by tbe oil producers for years. Having bear! that a set or capital lets, idlers and political tricksters have attempted to Mb tbem ad the producers of their profits, tbeir iodlgnatloa has been fully aroused and a determination manifested to defend tbeir own rights and those of their employers at all hazards. If it not strange such a feeling should exist Laborers and producers came into tbls region, labored day and night, ex pended their money to tbe Itst dollar and made operating for oil a profitable business. To see vile speculators wbo have never Invested a dollar or spent a day's labor la tbe business forming combinations to rob them or tbe profits or tbeir bard earned fields of labor Is enough lo arouse their indig nation and cans them to threaten eternal vengeoce upon the beads of those wbo have attempted to oppress tbem.
