national Debts.


The world has great many big
debts, most Of which can he traced to
wars as their cause. The aggregate
public indebtedness OF the world in
1848 amounted to 81 ,629, 692,3l5. This
had risen in 1860 to $1,000, 341 ,6SS,
or an increase of Sc per cent IN IL
years. During the next decade the
figures swelled to $l7,ll7,64O ,42S, or
IS per cent. advance. During the de-
cade from 1870 to 1880 the total was
further sweled to $23,2S6,4l4,753, a
further advance of &c per cent. This
makes the average annual increase for
the period between 1848 and 1880
$489, 1886, 079. These are pretty large
figures, but the world seems to be big
enough to owe it. Germany, Holland,
Denmark, England and the United
States are the only nations that are
reducing their indebtedness.

Gold in Africa.
Chambers journal.

Captain Burton, the celebrated trav.
eler, says that almost llllmltaDle
gold can be obtained at the Gold
Coast, Africa, a district which has
been auriferously prolific for centuries.
He says the region is equal to half a
dozen CALIFORNIA;. This testimony is
supported by Commodore Cameron,
who visited and investigated the Gold
Coast along with Capt. Burton.
Gold is found in the sea sand, in the
dust of the roads, and in the mud
walls of native huts. Several mining
companies are engaged in gold find
ing, and they testify to the great pos
sibilities it affords. A subject of such
Importance has. Of course, been wide
ly discussed by experts in England,
and by this time large numbers of
prospectors are doubtless verifying
matters on the spot.
There are many difficulties in Afri.
ca that did not confront the gold dig
gers Of California and Australia. The
climate has it's dangers; the inhabi-
tants are savages; the rulers suspi
cious and hostile to strangers. But
where abundant gold is to be got
with ease white men will go, and the
capital of civilization will flow thither
bearing 10000 energies to confront
those Of nature and barbarism.
The want of gold is SO great tina
the world must have it at any risk
and were it guarded by all the sava
ges of Africa united in u single host i
would become the possession of com
merce. When biologists and special
lists have pronounced favorable opIn
ion, and diggers have proof positiv
that a great gold deposit remains t.
DO worked, the difficulties with native
will soon be solved.
Medical science can mitigate tn
evils of the worst climate. Durin.
the thirty years of great gold discov
cry the art of mining and washing 70
the metal has made more progress
than in all antecedent time. Every
thing favors the speedy translation O
African gold into the channels of in
ternational trade, should it be found il
the quantities alleged by Captain Bur
ton.

Several political conventions of late
have decided that no proxies shall be
substituted for elected delegates. The
reasoning is sound. The proxy bust
ness il in the nature of fraud. The
people are supposed to elect delegates
to represent their views in the conven,
ton. The opinions of delegates are
well known, The individual is sub
ject to the test of popular election.
He'is elected because the people have
confidence in him. Now, it frequently
happens that professional politicians,
whom the people do not want, and
who could never be elected on the pop.
ular vote, for the reason that they do
not stand well in the community, are
uncertain, tishy and cratic, have axes
to grind, or enemies to punish, are the
men who contrive to ring in by the
device Of proxies. Some good natur-
ed delegate is persuaded not to go to
the convention, but to hand over his
proxy to some politician who wants to
go but cannot be elected on the popu-
lar vote. Now, this proxy does not
represent the people or that element
which is in his own party. He repre-
SCENTS nothing but himself, and is usu-
ally selfish, tricky fellow who worms
himself in where he is not wanted. and
where he has not been authorized to
go by any vote or other expression of
preference on tho part of the commu-
nifty. Gorham and other men Of that
stripe usually get into political con-
ventions in that way. Sometimes the
convention would be deviled by some
fellow who had got in from the cut
side and who seemed to take revenge
for degree of uupopularity which
prevents his election in regular way
as delegate. Nothing has ever been
gained by admitting proxies, because
just so far as that is done the popular
will has been defeated. In that way
tricksters manage the convention. /,
is because they are tricksters that the
community refuses to elect them. II

convention admits them to seats 1T has
simply encouraged and even endorses
trickery. Tie proxy no longer finds
favor with those who are determined
that there should be fair expression
of the popular Willis +. Elk.
