HILE Mr. Loud stands before the people of Wthe Fifth Congressional District as the repre- centative of Republicanism and the champion of the McKinley administration, it should not be over- [ Jooked that his claims upon the voters for re-election | are higher than those of partisanship. He is the fore- most Californian in the House; he holds there a higher position than any other; he has an influencea.nd | a prestige there of great value to the whole Pacific Coast, and that influence he never fails to exert for the benefit of all. It is an honor to the people of the Fifth District to be represented at the national capital by a man of cufficient ability and repute to enable him to command | the chairmanship of cne of the most important com- | mittees of the House. It should be, furthermore, a gratification to them that their representative has used his high position to benefit not only his own 1districl and his own State, but the whole country. Among the younger leaders of the Republican party | in Congress none has done more for the improvement | of the government and the general good of the pcople | than Mr. Loud has done in improving and extending | the service of the postoffice. Had he achieved noth- | ing more than the establishment of the rural free deliv- | ery system he would still take rank among the Con- | gressmen whose work entitles them to be ranked as | progressive and constructive statesmen. Mr. Loud has | done more to angment the usefulness of the Postal | Department than any other man who has been in | Congress for years; but the full measure of his pro- gramme of improvement has not yet been accom- | plished, and consequently his defeat would be felt as | a loss to the whole country. | California has been comparatively without influence | in Washington because for a long period of years she nas changed her representatives so frequently that not even the ablest and most faithful had time to make his worth felt in the House. A continuous succession of new men have followed one another from district after district in the State, and as a result in the making | up of committees none of them obtained chairman- ships. The people of the Fifth District were the first in California to perceive the folly of such fickleness | and to adopt the New England plan of choosing a {gr»hd representative and re-electing him term after They are now enjoying the benefits of that wisdom. They have a representative who can do more for them than any other representative they have ever had. They see the proofs of it all around them In: the city the evidence of Mr. Loud’s service is seen in the magnificent postoffice building now in process of construction, and in the rural portions of his dis- trict it can be seen in the free delivery system, which lias not only provided them with a great convenience, term. but by reason of t value of their h From the cordial greeting with w mes.

SOME WORDS OF McKINLEY. 1e leaders | | AY after day for weeks past the papers of the | country, in fulfillment of their duty as news- | gatherers for the people, have published the iteration and reiteration of Br. harangues. They will have to continue to do so for some days to come. In the meantime McKinley keeps the silence which the dignity of his high office imposes upon him. His words are not spread before the country every day. and it is therefore right and fitting that something of what he has said upon issues Bryan is talking about every day should be recalled to the public mind. Bryan has been lord in denounci n's g the army, join- ing it in the general condemnation which he pro- nounces upon “militarism” and “imperialism.” Here are some of the things McKinley has said about the army: What a magnificent army was mustered in less than sixty days! More than two hundred thousand soldiers responded to the call of country, coming from the homes of our fellow-citizens everywhere, the bravest and the best, willing to go into foreign territory to fight for the honor of our flag and for oppressed humanity. There was no break in our column. There was no division in any part of the country. North and South and East and West alike cheerfully responded.—Speech "at De- catur, Illinois, October 15, I The heroes of Manila and Santiago and Porto Rico have made immortal history. They are worthy succes- sors and descendants of Washington and Greene, of Paul Jones, Decatur and Hull, and of Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and Logan; of Farragut, Porter and Cushing; of Lee, Jackson and Longstreet.—Address at the Trans- Mississippi Exposition at Omaha, Nebraska, October 12, 2598, At Bunker Hill liberty was at stake; at Gettysburg the Union was the issue; before Manila and Santiago our armies_fought, not for gain or revenge, but for human rights. They contended for the freedom of the op- pressed, for whose welfare the United States has never failed to lend a helping hand to establish and uphold, and, 1 believe, never will.—Speech at the Auditorium, At- lanta, Georgia, December 15, 1868, Bryan has been making daily appeals to class antag- onisms and sectional prejudices, but McKinley has ad- dressed himself with patriotic gladness to the task oi directing attention to the .harmony of the country. As an offset to Bryan note these words: We have had such a revival of patriotism in this country as we have never had since the earliest days in our history. For the first time for more than half | a century, North and South are united in holy alliance, | with one aim, with one purpose, and with one determin- ation—to stand by the Government of the United States. That is what the war has done for the people of the | United States.—Speech at Tipton, Indiana, October 21, 9. My countrymen, not since the beginning of the agita- tion of the question of slavery has there been such a common bond in name and purpose, such genuine affection. such a unity of the sections, such obliteration of party and geographical divisions. National pride has been again enthroned; national patriotism has been restored; the national Union cemented closer and stronger; the love for the old flag enshrined in all hearts. North and South have mingled their best blood in a common cause, and to-day rejoice in a common victory. Happily for the nation to-day, they follow the | same glorious banner, together fighting and dying under its sacred folds for American honor and for the human- ity of the race.—Speech in the Coliseum, St. Louls, Mis- | souri, October 14, 1868, Calamity and disaster, present or to come, are all that Bryan finds to talk about. McKinley has noted other things. Compare these words with Bryan’s: ‘We have grown from a little more than three millions of people to seventy-five millions. We have become the | greatest_agricultural and manufacturing nation of the world. We have been making progress at rapid strides in all the arts of peace. We have a nation from whose history we need not turn away. We can study it with ‘and profit. We can look back without regret or humiliation and forward with hope and confidence.— Speech at Clinton, Illinols, October 15, 15%. We are a most fortunate people.

We sent more Ameri- can products to the Old World, produced and made in the United States by our own labor, than we ever sent out of the country in any year in all our history; and more than three-fourths of our exportations came from the fields and farms of the United States.—Speech at Arcola, Illinois, October 15, 188, Why should any considerable number of the Amer- ican peaple give heed 1o the office-seeking dcmagol_lfle who is trying to excite discontent and dissatisfaction when every intelligent man knows that the patriotic words of McKinley have in no way exaggerated the loyalty of the army, the patriotism of the great masses of the people and the abounding prosperity of all?> We have a great country and a great President, and why should we listen with patience to a man who tells us we will be robbed of our property, de- prived of our liberty and reduced by militarism and plutocracy to abject serfdom if we do not vote for him? i A VICTORY FOR RIGHT LABELING. OME time ago the various brewing companies S of Milwaukee filed in the United States Circuit Court a bill of complaint alleging that a certain New York company was using the word “Milwaukee” upon labels of beer not made in that city and was selling the same as Milwaukee beer. They atked for a perpetual injunction, and the court has recently granted it. The report of the case states: “Judge Lacombe’s order perpetually enjoins the defendant from selling or offering for sale any beer in recep- tacles bearing the word Milwaukee, excepting only beer actually brewed in the city of Milwaukee, Wis.” Should this decision of the Circuit Court receive confirmation from the Supreme Court and stand as the law of the land a great victory will have been gained not only for honest labeling but for pure food. | It has long been the custom for the manufacturers of spurious wines, beers and foods of various kinds te place false labels upon them. Such articles are not always harmfui—indeed as a rule they are harmless erough—but they are of an inferior quality and their sale is an injury to the consumer and to the trade of the men whose brands are counterfeited. % It has been known for a long time that a good deal of cheap and comparatively worthless fruit produced in the East and prepared for market there is branded with the word “California.” The sale of such tends to prejudice the consumer against all California fruit, and the wrong done is therefore much greater than appears on the surface. It is because of the experience we have ourselves had in that direction that a majority of the people of the of the French the exposition concerning Cali- that were Jabeled as French It is recognized here that there is no reason why our wines should be wrongly marked. They are fully able to stand upon their s, and the reputation of the State as a wine pro- ducing country will be increased when all her wines are sent to market clearly marked as California products. That view of the case has been taken by many of the foremost authorities in the wine trade. Thus The Call recently received a note from Lee J. Vance, editor of the New York American Wine Press, approving the stand The Call has taken upon the matter, and say- ing: “There is no doubt that some of the labels on California wines must be changed, and it is a good time to change them now. Thus far few persons or few papers have defended the use of foreign names on our native wines. It seems to be settled that our winemakers have no moral, legal or business right te use such names.” The whole question of proper labeling is one on which the people of California can well afford to take a strong stand. We have more to gain than to loce by right labeling. * If the decision of Judge Lacombe be extended to all sorts of labels the people of Cali- fornia will have no reason to be dissatisfied. decision authorities of wines A CHALLENGE TO THE EAST. Y a simple telegram to a friend in the East an- nouncing the results of the test of the Wiscon- sin Irving M. Scott has stirred up the ship- builders of the Atlantic Coast and set some of their organs to wondering what will happen next. The tele- gram said: “The queen of the seas was crowned when the Wisconsin made her record to-day—i18.54 knots, maximum; average for thirty-two knots, 12.9; average for whole trial, 17%4. The West challenges the East to try again.” Commenting upon the telegram the Marine Jour- nal of New York says: “This furnishes what philoso- phers call food for thought. Aifter the first blush of surprise at the audacity of the Pacific Slope in chai- lenging the East in the science of iron ship building, and battleships at thar, we can only settle down to the conviction that there is much more behind it than Western swagger. * * * When we rub the in- credulity out of our eves the fact stares us in the face that the slope is accomplishing wonders in its ship- yards. More than thirty Yessels is the record for the past three years. * * * \More in sorrow than in anger we have to admit that the East is not the only pebble on the great coastline of Uncle Sam’s do- minions. Let us pray—and ‘immediately thereafter let us hustle.” Just why the Marine Journal should note the tri- umph of Pacific Coast shipyards with either sorrow or anger is not clear. The upbuilding of this coast is not going to injure the East. If, however, such feats as we have accomplished make them sorry, then much sorrow is in store for them, for it is as sure as any- thing in the future can be that the Pacific Coast will soon be engaged in manufacturing on an extensive scale in all important lines of industry. With the de- velopment of the commerce of the Pacific Ocean there will grow up all along this coast extensive industries in the manufacture of all kinds of goods needed by the peoples of countries facing on that ocean. The successes achieved in the way of building ships attract more attention than those attained in other lines, but they do not stand aione. Battleships are not “the only pebbles on the beach” of Pacific Coast industries. We are preparing to challenge the East all along the line, and the cry, “Pray first and hustle afterward,” will }nve to be sounded to more people than ship- builders. It is hardly necessary to say the rivalry we are pre- paring for the older States will be beneficial to them. The magnificent ships built in our shipyards have been an incentive to Eastern builders to improve upon their former, methods. We shall see whether they can beat the Wisconsin. If they cannot we shall rely upon the Union Iron Works to improve upon it. There are more battleships to be constructed. The end is not yet. The crown of achievement has not been reached. The Marine Journal would better ad- vise its readers to make ready for a prolonged hustle. T e —— When the new gun, which fires “curves” with deadly swiftness, is introduced on the diamond it js they will not be against the pitcher. | i OIL OUTPUT WILL EQUAL THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD State Mineralog ist Cooper Pre- dicts a Great Future for the Oil Industry. A. 8. Cooper, State Mineralogist, says that If the future realizes what may reasonably be expected, from existing conditions, the value of California’s petroleum output will in four years catch up with the gold production of the State. Mr. Cooper also made several other interesting statements. He says the probabllity is that where the shallow ofl fields begin to fall, it will be only necessary to go down another 500 feet in depth to secure a new supply and that the ofl on the lower strata will be of better quality than that lying nearer the surface. Tak- ing” this view of the case, Los Angeles hi really only begun to develop its possibilitles i Dpetroleum. Mr. Cooper sald that practically the same set of facts had been found to be applicable wher- ever petroleum has been found in the oil fields of the world. Assuming it to be the fact that petroleum owes its origin to the distillation of carbonaceous matter, there is a probability of getting petroleum way down to the metamor- vhic rock. Near the surface, and down to & depth of several hundred feet, evaporation has disposed of the volatile matter and the ofl is comparatively thick. Down below the possible level of evaporation is thinner and more valu- able ofl. The history of the oll fields of the world s that they have been started in shallow and have been deepened. All California wells ara comzaratively shallow. Speaking of the expectations entertained in varfous parts of the country concerning the productiveness of ofl wells, Mr. Coover said that in Ohto about eighty wells are drilled per annum. and these Ohfo wells average only about ten barrels per day each. They are pumped until they yield only one-half barre! | per day. Californians would not think of | operating wells on such a low basts of produc- | tion. “The Kern River district alone,’ sald | Mr. Cooper, ‘‘should yield over 1,000,000,000 bar- rels of oll. The sand averages 190 feet In thickness and the area of the fleld 1s about fifteen square miles. Perhaps that ol will | bring 90 cents net. Illustrating the possibili- | ties that are in the oll sands Mr. Cooper sald | that one fleld In Russia, of less than twenty acres in extent, has already yielded 35,000,000 barrels of ofl. material was thrown up that shovels had to ba used before operations could be resumed. An entirely new district will be developed in the city limits of Los Angeles at Highland Park and Garvanza. Samples of ofl have been pro- cured at a depth of ten feet. Six wells will be Fut down within the next half-year. A. B. Butler, C. A. Canfleld and E. L. Do- beny have requested the Attorney General of the United States to send a special representa- tive to California in reference to investigating the operations of the scrippers. The biggest well in Kern County is said to be the Dabney No. 2, which is credited with flowing about 400 barrels per The Monterey Oil Company has reached the first sand, but will go deeper. Ofl indications have been discovered at Chula Vista, San Diego County, and a company will he formed to sink a well. The Los Angeles Times of October 16 reported that “the California Ofl and Stock Bxchange Pas made no call since September 30; they an- ncunce that they will probably turn their at- tention more particularly to mining stocks in the future. The Sespe Canyon Oil Company fs about to &earch for oil in the Sespe Canyon, about eight mfiles north from Fillmore. The company owns abcut 960 acres. One day last week the ofl refinery at Chino shipped twenty-two carloads of refined oil. The Puente Ofl Company has fifty wells pump- ing and has started to sink others. The Los Angeles Times says concerning the Summerland fleld: *‘While local companies ap- pear to be getting satisfactory results from new wells those who are laboring to pick up the vein to the east and west of town are meeting with disappointment. The only exten- sion of the fleld known is to the south, and therefore seaward. Several holes are being put | dewn at Carpinteria, some as far as 1000 feet, but the result is ndt encouraging.'” Oil men in the Sunset district belleve that a | second ofl belt extends through that section about two miles to the southwest and parallel with the present line of development. Membership in the proposed Oil and Stock Ex- change at Bakersfleld will cost $100. The S. and 8. Ofl Company has leased 30 The State. Mineralogist has recently visited San Ardo district, which Is between King City and San Ardo, In Monterey County. The San Ardo and Monterey Oil companies are operat- ing there and also several others. *‘If they get one producing well in San Ardo district,” said Mr. Cooper, ‘“‘that district will be the equal of any In the State. The district is about seven miles long and one mile wide.”” Mr. Cooper is satisfled that the day is not far distant when oll territory will be selected by geologists on | acres of land from the Occidental Company in Kern River district. Over 20,000 acres have been secured by Mack & Keith and M. Green and B. D. Plke near Oroville for exploitation. Other parties have smaller tracts. The Bakersfleld Californian savs: *‘A week or two ago a combination contracted for twenty acres in 25-28-27, making partial payment on a total of $20,000. Since then an offer has been received of $10,000 bonus for a lease, the lessee account of favorable structure and position, Ir- respective of surface bitumens. A somewhat interesting computation made by Mr. Cooper is as tollows: “In the year 1898 there were imported into the State of California 1,740,027 toms of coal. To supplant this 6,794,278 barreis of oil will be needed. The perfect cleanliness of fuel ofl and the simplieity of supply and regulation | make it the most desirable substitute for coal. | As lone as coal remains at 8730 per ton in California it cannot be expected that ofl will fall below its present price—at least not for | some years to come. A comparison of the con- | sumption of fuel ofl with that of coal shows 3.33 barrels of ofl are equivalent to one ton of good imported coal. Figuring ofl at §1 40 per barrel and coal at $7 50 per ton, it shows the cost of ofl to be $4 66 as against $750 for its ecutvalent in coal Moreover the labor re- quired to operate with coal is far greater than with ofl, tn most cases it being nearly double." So much gas arlses from the wells of the West Shore Company in the Kern River dis- trict that an electric light plant will be in- stalled, there being danger frfom any other il- Iuminant. The Pacific Consolidated Company 1s reported to have made a strike at a depth of 1200 feet. | The place Is several m¥les from the MeKittrick | and Sunset district and is practically a new‘ field. | Kern Ofl Company’s No. 4 well dropped into a pocket of gas that blew up with force enough | t> carry off the roof of the derrick and threw sand in the air to a great height.

The advance sheets of the United States consular reports give some interesting data on the petroleum industry. Richard Guenther, Consul General at Frankfort, reports as fol- lows: “It is reported on good authority that Russian petroleum is gaining ground in Ger- ac- many and England, while in China it has so | far not been able to successfully compete with | the American product. The imports of Ge: many were, in the first three months of 1900, 42,79 tons of Russian and 243,963 tons of Ameri- car petroleum. The total imports for the year | 1599 were 110,157 toms of Russian and 913 tons of American. In Great Britain, only a few years ago, American petroleum had almost a mcnopoly. From January 1 to August 1, 1306, the fmports were 3,020,000 gallons of American end 2,840,000 gallons of Russian petroleum. The reass for this is sald to be the fact that large Russian ofl flelds have been acquired by Eng- lishmen. China imported in the first six months of 1000, 3,500,000 cases of Russian petroleum, against 5410,000 cases In the same period of 1599, and 6,100,000 cases of American petroleum | during the first six months of 1900, against | 4,620,000 cases In the same period of 1599.” PERSONAL MENTION.

NEW YORK COMMERCIAL ADVER- TISER—What the Kentucky Democrats of the Legislature seem not to understand is that the public opinion of the country regards the two crimes, public and pri- vate, the Goebel law and the murder of its author, with almost equal detestation. BROOKLYN EAGLE—Every address of Mr. Bryan since his speech of acceptance bac been an error's crown of error. Every step toward him or with him of those at heart against him has been a blunder, and, worse, the nearer they get to him ::‘e“mare signally lamentable their mis- CHICAGO TIMES - HERALD — Great Britain has had a practical menopoly_of the world’s export coal trade. We are already masters of the iron and steel situation. If we can add to this a final control of the fuel situation in Europe our supremacy in the manufacturing world is completely assured PHILADELPHIA NORTH AMERI- CAN—The United States is the most con- servative great nation in the world to- day that governs itself by parties and under parliamentary forms. 'gho respon- sibility of the intelligent voter steadies him. Bryan is a man for a revolutionary a, and the American spirit is the re- verse of revolutionary. EW YORK MAIL AND EXPRESS- Should the day ever come when the United States will be constrained to take up arms in defense of the Monroe doc. trine it is likely to find placed at its dis. posal the fleets and armies and resources of the 60,000,000 Latin-Americans who have come into the council of the nations un- der its protecting shadow. BOSTON HERALD—It Is of no avail to | say that Bryan is not a man_ who can stomach Croker. This is not the proper statement of the case. Croker has stom- ached Bryan. He was against him four vears ago. He has now taken him in. and, so far as appearances go, Bryan is | far better satisfied with his sftuation than Jonah was when taken in by the whale. NEW YORK TIMES—But, although Mr. | Bryan's Madison Square audience was a Tammany audience, it was made up of intelligent men, and he did not fool them for a single moment. They were inter- ested in him. they were curious about him, but it is plain that they cared very littie about what he sald—that is, it was | Bryan, not Bryan's professed principles. that interested them and brought them to the Garden. ATLANTA CONSTITUTION—Let us | make the most we can of our cotton, but | let us at the same time buttress our situ- | atlon by those other avenues of profit | which, more than anything else, can cut | down "the cotton acreage. Albany was | once nothing but a cotton center. Now she drinks artesian water, holds hay carn- fvals and plants her spare acres in peeans There's money in it, and there's escape from the cotton speculator as well. NEW YORK TRIBUNE—The world is learning to regard Willlam II as a states- | man as well as a sovereign, and as an uncommonly able and benevolent states- | man, in whose hands the destinfes of his empire are as safe as they could be in the hands of any man. That is the fact that vindicates the Emperor in being his own Chancellor and that makes a “‘Chan- | cellor crisis” at Berlin an incident of noth- ing more than passing personal interest. ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS—What the Ploneer Press is laboring te bring about is a state of public opinion Which will re- sult in State and Federal legislation and | in voluntary action by the lumbermen | themselves which will gut a stop to the wholesale devastation 6f our rematning forests and the adoption of appropriate methods for the reforestation as far as possible of lands which have been cut over and which are still capable of a regrowth of the young pine. CHICAGO NEWS—It is not necessary to go into the detafls of the.comstruction of this first ship to sail the azure deep of the The great fact which every one can at least partially comprehend is that the dream of centuries has at last been real- | ized and that the problem which heretofore baffled the inventive genius he greatest century the world has see has at last been tentatively solved—solved probably as fully as by Fulton in the steamship or by Morse In the telegraph.
