Zlegler'a nerald, ot Butler, again ? re lieves us ot the task of original composition on tbe oil situation. We coincide with It fully. It says: "Tbe Pittsburgh papers, or at least their teperlers who write up the market reports for them'say, that oil duilng tbe last week t04e lo prico some fifteen cents and this, "In tbe face ol several new wells producing largely." These reporters are a batch of wlse-aoies who ought to take trip through the oil region and see what tbey never knew before and what they will never learn by tunning about city and forming opto Ions from what tbey bear from Idlers on tbe street camera. When an nnerittnr afptlrea a five hundred barrel well, tbe news is tele f rnphed to all perls, but when a poor devil strikes a dry hole, everybody shuts tbe eye and says, ''nut " Thus there may be twenty dry holes fn a district and not half so many producing wells, still community believes all are good and an Immense amount of oil Is produced. Tbislsa game wbicb baa been played with great success ever since tbe Troutmao well was struck at Modoo and tbe Sbreve well at Millerstowos and will ounlluue to be played so long as men can be found to believe It. We are not drawing on tbe Imagination when we say tbls policy Is of tbe most fruitful causes of tbe decline in the price of;oll, nor are we wrong lo charging' the operators with being partioipanta to IV. Instead or being tbe means of giving oorreot luformatlon they quietly acquleaoe in tbe raise reports circulated because they may possibly be able lo speculate to tbe amount ol a few dol lars. It Is a well known f.ct that tbe produc tlon at Modoo has lalieo off considerable even more than any one anticipated. Tet to bear people talk, it would be supposed that more oil was produced in tbat reglou than ever. Wedojnot wish to disparge any looality. Tbat Is. not our object. What we want Is tbe truth, .because lo Us circulation tboja Interested in oil and oil laods csn alone reap tbat firlcb reward lo wbicb tbey are justly .entitled. We have said and say agalo, tbere Is no just cause for the low price of oil. liTbe production is lo tbe bands of speculators, and until it la left free to be regulated by tbe ordinary laws ef trade, hundreds of people will; bave labored for themselves la valo, while tbe land owner will not obtain by royalty or otherwise oear what be should. The Petrolla, Canada, Oil Market. Tbere was a trifle more activity in tbe crude market during the past week. Tbe Home Oil Works having created quite a demand for distillate baa caused refiners to commence operations again. Tbls will in all probability be kept up for the next 4 or 6 months and will lo a great measure re. neve the market ben. Prices bava not materially changed still paying 95 cts. to Si per bbl. The tapid decline In produc tioo ot late lo Pennsylvania must have Us fleet In'.enchanoing tbe value of crude there nml will cjuho sti udvance nt sime ratio here. R. lined keeps low In New, Voir, Hi',; 1 I'-r gallon him been tl. evince ': I' IN' p'.st vi V A correspondent ot the Chicago Inter Ocean, who recently passed through the oil region, has this lo say ol Dr. J. W James ACo.'s well, no the Btrnbart farms Ws slopped at the "Bom Spoiiier,'' near Millerstown wbicb had been How log ten days the yield lining Qlty barrels an b our. The well U 1,440 feet and the pure oil, uo mixed wilh water, comes In a constant stream about fifteen minutes, flowing with great foroe when it ceases for the spaea or about sis or eight mioules. And so It spends Us days and nlgbls. Two pumps are constantly engaged seoding this Im mense supply through the pipe lines lo the railway at Brady's Band on the Allegheny River, now long it will continue to flow is of course a problem but as there are no other wells very near to lap the vela wbicb feeds it, and the owoers bold Iheland in the immediate vicinity, it will probably hold out longer thaa most others have done. A stlggestiva episode enlivened the cele bration ol tbe lourib anniversary of the Woroan'a Suffrage Association, at Cooper Institute, New York, I'll Inst. There was a meeting of the female parasol and umbrel la makers in We si me building, and a dele gation of these marched into tbe presence of tbe Wninao Suflragsrs and listened to the eloquence ol Luc Stooe. The presi dent of the Caiirella M.kers' Uoioo, Mis Leonard, addretsed a few words to the meeting, saying tbat hundreds of women in New York were suffering not fur tbe ballot but for bread, Tbere was a great deal of significance in tbat remark. If tbe cham pions of equal political rights for women would concentrate their energies upon tbe ol j-ct of directly Improving the condition of tbe sex in the Industrial sphere, a point might be gained of far more immediate im portance than t ie qnestioo of suffrage. We do cot condemn the ardor and persistence of the ladies In eombioating to fight their battles with the world. Let tbem agitata Incessantly that is the wav lo accomplish great reforms. But tba poor girls who are hard at work from morn till night would be better pleased to have the question of wages agitated In advance of tbe question of auls frages. Most or fields of labor are already open to womeo, but opeo at prices that ren der the privilege or work a doubtful bless Ing. While tbe female suffragists, s year af ter year, exhibit Ibis bobby lo a mocking or Indifferent world, the silent workingwonien of tbe large cities are wearing tbeir lives away In uoremuserative toil. Put tbe bread-basket within easier reach; it is more desirable than tbe ballot box to tbe hungry women.
