Tlie Oil Situation.
Tlin Volcano Lubricator, organ of tba
West Virgin in oil fluids, gives I tin following
(K-naiUlu view ol the present prices ol oil
tt'o curuuieoJ I hem to our operators :
We eeldora ever look upon the dark side
of picture, and very sldnm da we show
that side to our rnaders; hut in our opinion
the lime has come when It will he what wo
oosider our duty to thow up to the opera.
tors of West Vngmia what we conceive to
be the ipuatiou i f tie oil hwiness. In doz
ing this we leel bound to respect the opin
ions oi nou, but to state fully what is the
disease, and what, in our opiuion, should
be the remedy. In the first place, the pro
duction is loo largo and still increasing;
nod another Ihing, too much business is
done ou the credit system. Now to remedy
this, no now development should, be carried
on, nor no new wells be drilled on territory
alieiidy developed, and while any ons o
any business faculties would think that the
oil mm would thus act, what are the lads?
Simply this, that mere is as much operat
ing t, . l,v a8 there was wbea it paid to nro
t'uee oil. A largo well is struck on Elliott's
Kun; what is the consequence? Why, 10 or
15 new rigs are built and operations are
Commenced all along the line. When will
it eod, and where will It end? To tb'e
question; we cnu find no belter answer than
that furnished by the Greenville Advance:
'The end of this must oome soon Produc
tion mtiBt step, etlhor by coucert of aotioe
by prices becoming eo low that nooe but tb"
Iw larger wells can be kepi working, , or
general smash up and sales by the Sheriff.
O io or tie other of these things (must hup
P "it or a now outlet for oil. must be found
that will make the demand at loasl equul to
1Mb supply."
How la regard to the credit system.
li my an operator knows too well that it Is
2ft barrel well or bankruptcy, and when
ouly about on well out of twenty produce
that amount of oil, the number of men who
must budge or bust Is known ouly to them
selves. We h.ipe the price of oil will soon
advance, but It seems as though it wss im
possible for it to do so, when the produc
tion of oil ic the several fields exceeds the
aimsud some 98,000 barrels monthly.

Yesterday evening-, a mn named Allen
Wyant. residing el the head or Two Mile
lino, and who is a deputy tax collector, ar
rivsd In town so route to Pioneer whither
be was going for the purpose of collecting
taxi.. ITpon arriving there hi found the
parties absent from town, and accordingly
drove bark to reirnleuui Centre with the
Intention ol staying all night. Arriving
here be put up his team, and started out tn
fake a hok at the town about nine o'clock
in the evening. He journeyed along up
the street, and as he says, stopped Into two
or three places and drank liquor to some
extent, but not enough to intoxicate. While
passing along a short distance above lbs old
'free aud easy," he states he was assaulted
by Utnry O'Brlan, ' knocked down with a
ptece of boara or stick, and beaten In most
shocking manner. He managed to crawl
way on bis baods and knees across the
street into the grass and underbrush, where
he was subsequently picked up and brought
downtown. Ho claims also that be was
robbed of $18 In greenbacks and valuable
papers. This is his version.
O'Brian. we are Inlormed, states that
Wyant was intoxicated at lbs time, and
hud knocked down a woman known by the
name of Vic. Williams, and that be turned
in to assist the woman, and knocked Wyant
down. - His story may be true, and aisum;
ing that It Is. there was no reason whatever
as fat as we can learn, for beating a man
after that fashion. We Interviewed Mr. W.
this morning, snd a look at bis lace will
convince any one of the shameful manner
In which he had been treated. To speak
plain occurrences of this kiod are becom
ing quite too frequent and wn respectfully
suggest to the powers that be that a quietus
be put upon the perpelratots. When It
reaches tha point that atraogers cannot
pass along our streets at night without be
ing knocked down and beaten, It is blgb
time fur a revolution of soma kind. We
may be mistaken as regards the part taken
by O'Bcloo In 'bis affair, II so let blm rise
and explain.'1 Mr. Wyant, we know to be
a man of good standiug in society in the
neighborhood where he resides. Ho left
town this morning, but inlormed our repot-
ter he should be back as soon as bis face
and bead healed up, and endeavor to solve
the problem us to whether there is any law

men of New lurk went to Canada to kill

These young men owe a debt to the Sunday
