Light-The Free Pipe Bill-" Not
the kind of Legislation the Com
monwealth Needs.
Long ago people used pine knots
for light After they accumulated
more of this world s goods, they nse J
tie lard of hogs and the tallow of
cattle for light Each family pro
duced its own ligh af tittle cost
The next fcght was whale oil and gas,
neither of which were produced by
the people themselves, but by second
and third parties, which was the
cause of the creation, as it were, of a
new industry. But all the lights of
the fathers have given way to the
light of this day and generation.
The new light is not gathered from
the wood, extracted from hog, steer,
or whale, or generated in gas houses,
but is pumped out of the earth, and
people are pleased to call it cool oil.
Coal oil is the new light. Large com
panies and corporations have been
formed to get it out of the ground,
and so centralized have these organi
zations become that they are threat- remaining on deposit in said deposi
ening the equilibrium of the coal o0 j tory or invested in bonds, for which
business, and agitating the legisla- j the bill makes provision, shall not at

pressing the Legislature for enact ' or withdrawal, without the voluntary
merits, is called "The Coal Oil Pro- consent of the depositor, by reason
ducing Association." The Associa- of any debt due against the deposi
tion is importuning the Legislature tory or legal representative.
to pass what it is pleased to call a
tree pipe bill, which shall provide for
the construction of a pipe line or
lines, through which coal oil is to be
run from the oil country to the ports
along the Atlantic 6ea board, on the
principle much like a free railroad
law. At first sight the question
seems fair enough in the light of a
Free Pipe Law, but when the inter
ests of Pennsylvania, which are the
first interests in the question, comes
to be considered, the proposed free
pipe law fulls to a heavy discount
for to give the proposed measure life
by legislative enactment will be to
strike at interests in the Common
wealth that are sources of revenue to
the State, and sources of employ
ment for many men. It has already
been told that the parties moving in
the matter, as soon as they get the
law passed, will construct a pipe line
to Baltimore, Mil., that being the
nearest sea port A line to Balti
more would destroy all the oil re
fineries in the Commonwealth, and
thus throw hundreds of men out of
employment and render millions of
capital invested in the refineries val
ueless. It would destroy the coal oil
carrying trade of the railroads, and
thus again destroy the employment
of hundreds of men, without making
work for a single man removed. It
would render the millions of dollars
invested in coal oil cars and coal oil
tanks valueless, and would cut down
the revenues of the State to a much
greater degree than people now real
ize, which would have to be made up
on other branches of industry. For
all this loss to the people of Pesnsyl
vauia, nothing whatever will be re
ceived in return. The pnly people
who will receive benefit are the peo
ple across the ocean, and the coal oil
pipe corporations. Foreigners may,
or may not get cool oil a few cents
cheaper than they now do. But grant
it that foreigners thereby may be
benefitted to the value of a penny or
two on a quart how would thot bene
fit the people of Pennsylvania T Says
one, "It will strike at the powerful
railroad corporations who carry all
the coal oiL" That is about the most
truthful thing that has been said of
it. Grant it, that it strikes at the
railroad interest, how will that help
the State ! How will that help the
people ? He must be a dull man who
cannot see that to so strike a railroad
interest that employs thousands of
men in the Commonwealth, and pays
thousands of revenue into the State
Treasury, and carries the products
of the soil, and the merchandise of
millions of people, to benefit a pipe
line, that in the nature of its business,
comparatively speaking, employs few
men, and pays but little revenue, is not
the kind of legislation that the Com
monwealth neuds. ;

Post-Office Banks or Depositories
There is a bill in Congress that
proposes to create in th Fost-Office
Department a new featftre, to con
nect a Banking department with the
Post-Office department, for the safe
deposit of money that people may
desire to put out on call loans.- A
dispatch relative thereto Says :
In order to give complete' and' di
rect security to all depositors,- the
credit of the United States is pledged
for the repayment to the depositor
or to his legal representative of every
sum of money deposited. There is
to be a chief office at Washington,
and the Postmaster General is au
thorized to designate such suitable
money order post-offices, at which
the salary of the master is not less

of the postal savings depository may
require.

Tceke is a row in the English Cab
inet over the Turkish situation. Cer
taiu English statesmen were meddle
some enough to declare that Russia
should not send terms to Turkey, ex
cept through England as mediator.
Russia bluntly rejected the impudent
wouhl-le mediator, and Turkey was
compelled ta ask directly for terms.
The terms of peace were sent by Rus
sia to Turkey without even a whisper
of it having been sent to England,
and that is what raised a row among
the English. The first officers in the
country have ordered an English fleet
to sail to a point not far from Con
stantinople, ami have also asked for a
large loan to equip the army. These
war-iike movements have been char
acterized by several members of the
Cabinet as nonecessary, and have
caused them to resign, and that's the
row.

There is a financial bill in the U. S.
Senate, in which provision is made
" for the paj'ment of all debts, one
half in gold and one-half in silver.
In other words, for the payment of a
debt the creditor can only be forced
to accept one-half in silver and must
be paid the other half in gold. This
provision, it is claimed, will create a
double standard, or a bi-metalic cur
rency, that will be unvarying."

for the Middle District has beefl fa

hardly seems as if $100,000 was
enough for the erection of such a

central part of the State has devel
oped a criminal population large
enough to prove an important factor
in crowding the Eastern Penitentiary,

The Truth About Tramps.
from the Stw York Tribuut.
Two of the best detectives in Massa
chusetts were detailed last summer to
proceed to tbe western pat; of tbe
State, join tbe army of tramps, asso
ciate with them for several weeks, and
keep a journal of their observations.
Tbe diaries of these two tueo are in
corporated in tbe Annual Report of the
Chief of the State Detective force, and
render it an exceedingly interesting
public document. (Jne of the entries
under date of August 1, relates that a
gang of tramps, moving toward the
towu of Washington, met another part
in the woods, about twenty miles from
Pittifield. The leader of the second
gang stated that they were waiting lor
a strike on tbe Boston and Albany Kail
road, and tbat there were scattered
about in tbat country about four hun
dred men. who were all waiting to join
the strikers. These men appeared
ready for any plan of pillage and de
struction tbat was proposed. Tbe prop
osition to butn the small stations on
the road would bave been carried into
effect bad it not been for tbe argument
that it would be blamed on the poor
men who were employed on tbe road.
Tbe plan of soaping tbe rails at vari
ous places, for tht purpose of stopping
tbe cars, was discussed ; but as a strike
was confidently expeeted, tbe tramps
decided to wait a few days. The de
tectives took pains to find oat whether
the tramps they met were such from
choice or necessity, and all with whom
they conversed they found but two who
did not not scout tbe idea of work noon
any terms, tnrt of the willingness of
these two to work tl.ey express doubts.

24. Gen. Miles telegraphed from
Post Fort Keogh, last evening that
he had received Indian news which is
really of a most startling character.
His news comes from an officer of
his command, and is substantially as
follows : Sitting Bull is camped on
Frenchman's Creek, and has over
1,000 lodges with him, including the
escaped Nez Perces and the recent
deserted Indians from the agencies.
The latter number 280 lodges, with
800 warriors. Sitting Bull's own
camp numbers 2,300 warriors and
5,000 women and children. They are
splendidly mounted and armed. The
Agency Indians are armed with
Sharp's rifles, and have plenty of
ammunition. They also have a large
number of Government horses and
mtf.es. "With him are all the power
ful hostile chiefs. A short time ago
Red Bear deserted his agency with
200 lodges. This was just after he
returned from Washington. Two
companies of infantry have been sent
to Fort Peck to hold it against attack.
It is evident that a southern move
ment is intended by the Indians, as
they have been seen within ten miles
of Fort Peck. Gen. Miles can only
put 500 soldiers in the field.
