Nature’s Stop to Silver Agitation.
It the silver question shortly to be
put at rest for at least half 11 century!
It looks like it. It looks as if gold and
silver were to be put upon 11 parity once
more, and u if nature herself were go
his to do this in her own way by openiné
up new and vast supplies of gold to Innu-
kind. ,
From several parts of the world at
the some time comes news of large gold
finds. The excitement in Western Aur-
trnlio is only excelled by that of the
early days iii that country and in Call-
fornia' 111 1849. Although the new Ans-
tralian goldfields are not so extensive
as the old ones, yet they are very rich.
From the Yukon mines of Alt-h rich
yields are reported. although only the
surface of the earth has begun to be
scratched there as yet. The report from
the Rainy river district in (Bounds is
none the less favorable, while Vancou-
ver, the terminus of the Canadian l’u-
oiflc, has added to its importance by end-
denly becoming the scene of 11 gold fever
of considerable intensity. Ono quartz
vein there is said to be 80 feet wide. In
our country the Cripple Creek excito-
ment of two you; ago repeats itself.
Not less than "£00,000 11 month are
taken from the mines at Lcodvillo. It
is to be remembered meanwhile that
comparatively few of the newly found
veins about Cripple Creek are opened
up yet. With the. construction of more
branch railroads to the mines and the
starting of more stamp mills the output
will be greatly increased. The are over-
ugcs 040 to the ton, some of it running
up nearly to 380.

of her existence. All the same, it will

The hand of destiny seems to point to
the overthrow of impcralism and, the es-
inblishmcnt of a republic. in Germany.
If we were in Germany, we would at
()llf‘O be arrested, fined imprisoned and
m win an awful example of for writing
that. sentence. But we are in frccAmer-
ion, and 1111 say what we think. When
young William II ascended the throne,
it was 11 matter of grief that Emperor
Frederick, so kindly. moderate and lib-
eral in his tendencies. could not have
lived longer to rule. over the people who
loved him. But German republicans
whouuderstmd the situation were sat»
isfied. They declared that the accession
of a rash, headstrong and arbitrary
ruler like William would only hasten
the downfall of monarchy. It is possible
their expectations Will be realized. Cer-
tainly the wholesale arrests and prose-
cutions for speaking disrespectful” of
majesty, made, it is known, under the
order of the emperor himself, will by
the very lip-any of them gain adher1
cuts for thou-inflate more rapidly than
anything else could do. The arrest of
Professor Delbruck for making the very
mild remark that he regretted the police
had plunged into a pettifogging cam-
paign against the socialists caused sur-
prise evon in Germany. The severe sen-
tence of Dr. Liebkneehi. too, gained
sympathy for him.
Of course it was an untruth that the
patriot leaders Maceo and Gomez sold
out the cause of Cuban independence to
Spain. Men who have fought and suf-
fered as they have done for many months
are not the kind ,to turn traitors for any
money that Spain could offer. If they
had (intended to sell out, they would
have done it in the beginning. But they
are not. in this war for money. It. shown,
however, the desperate straits to which
Spain is reduced, when she resorts to a
silly lie like that in the hope of causing
