THE GOLD QUESTION.


fefhaps 10 be SolVed Dy the limeiy Defeat
OF King Lobengula.
The following communication, bearing
Washington date, appeared in recent
issue of the New York Sun: 1t is Gu
rious that the newspapers of today which
announce the destruction of silver should
also announce the collapse of the Mata-
belle king of a country larger than the
Dakotas. In each instance the British
auri sacra flames will be held responsible
by the critical or perhaps hypercritical
chronicler of events.
have always ventured to profess a
faith in the infallibility of the Anglo
Saxon races. In this country believe
that the nation is swinging with a ve-
locity perhaps dangerous toward the
freedom of silver. and that seems to be
the view of the triumphant repeaiers
here today, where the losers are more
elated than the winners.
But in Africa, England is today an
ticipating such production of gold as
will bring back the traditions of Cali
fornia and Ballarat, and the victory of
mere joint stock company over the
forces of Lobengula may now be fol-
lowed by results not less remarkable
than those which in 1S49 followed poor
Marshalfs discovery of gold nugget in
the dam at Suffers mill in California
Until Il month ago the only laborers
in Mashonaland, the various Mashona
tribes, were harried by the Matabeles
whenever this fighting horde required a
further supply of wives. The male Ma
shonas we've killed or carried off from
the very old dumps of the gold mines of
Hartly hill, of Marco Oh Fort Victoria.
Now Lobengula and his routed ''impis"
are in retreat to northward of the Fam
BEST He will be there in the same posi-
ton that was occupied by Sitting Bull
and the Sioux after your catastrophe on
the Little Horn in 1876, when that
mightier Lobengula had retired into the
British northwest.
Today the gold developments in Africa
are of extraordinary interest. The Randi
gold camp at Johannesburg, which dates
back only to 1887 and produced but a
monthly average of 10000 ounces in
1888, shows the following developments:

Fruitfnlness OF Squash.

The Hampshire Gazette furnishes a
good suggestion for squashgrowers in
its statement that the main vine of the
squash chiefly bears male blossoms.
while the side branches produce the
fruit. Keeping the main vine well
pinched back so as to encourage more
side branches is therefore good way to
make the vines more fruitful

Hawaiian Annexation.

IT is stated on official authority that the
government of Hawaii will take a decided
stand in the negotiations with the United
States. The annexation club and the gov
eminent announce semi officially that they
will abide the issue together. When this
is considered, in connection with the fact
that the governments 400 men were sup
ported by the 600 members of the club, il
becomes significant as showing the COM
bined strength in the event of an emer-
gency. The apparent serenity of affairs is
misleading.

SUPPOSED HIDDEN TREASURE.
Ground Dug Up on Account of Slate
Writer'S Experience.

Spiritualism and slate-writing have been
mer, and as a result there have been q
number of mysterious doings Last week
two men could be seen digging at an early
morning hour in an old field on the river
bank about six miles north of the city.
When the streaks of dawn began to ap-
pear in the sky and farmers began
TO pass by on their way to market
the mysterious searchers abandoned their
work of the night. Almost an acre of the
ground was dug up.
Some time ago John Allison, living on
Tacoma avenue, developed ability as a
slate-writer and medium. Harry Mays a
railroad conductor, became interested in
the occult science. The controlling spirit
of the slate-writer was a well-known doc
tor of the city, who passed into the land of
held converse with his friends this side of
the great vale. and one day he told NAYS
and the Sla te-writer that a wealthy old
miser had died in this city many years ago
while travelling TO the far West. This miser
1t was stated, had buried $4,000 i'm q field
on the river bank north of the city. The
departed spirit even went SO far as to draw
a perfect chart on the slate showing the
exact location of the hidden wealth The
chart was all right as far as the descrip-
ton of the country went but it was lack
ing in locating the treasure. The two men
dug for several hours and then gave up the
quest. They vowed TO say nothing about II
but the joke was too good TO keep and it
leaked. The treasure is now open to all

literary reputation, who stated that he
could not give the most remote explana-
ton of it: Some years since, a hot
summer afternoon, the Advocate A, to-
gether with his wife and two children,
left their house in Via Gaeta, at 6 o'clock
precisely, for an evening walk. He was in
good health and spirits, but just as they
crossed the street he was suddenly seized
with a shock through his whole body,
which caused all the blood to leave his
face. and obliged him TO support himself
against the wall. His wife, in alarm as
sisted him TO steady himself. anxiously
asking what was the matter. He recovered
himself speedily, and was able TO con-

countable perturbation and humming in

TWIN BENEDICT ARNOLDs.
Carlisle and Voorhees, as Viewed by
a SiIverite Organ.

New YORK RecOrQer.
The most perfdious page in our political
history-blacker than that which records
the underground treachery to the Union OF
the closing days of Buchanan's administra-
tion--is the one which records the attempt
of Cleveland, Carlisle, Wilson, Voorhees,
and their obedient following in Congress
to assassinate the cause Of bimetallism
and silver coinage, which every man OF
them was publicly pledged in the most SOL
emn manner TO defend.
History will cherish with a peculiar, pun
gent disdain the names of John q. Carlisle
and Daniel w. Voorhees, as the arch-be-
trayers of the silver cause. These two men,
more than others Of their party, had stood
forth time and time again TO denounce
the single standard gold plot against the
prosperity OF the country. They had
branded the infamy of the act Of 1873 in
words that seemed hot enough to blister
the pages of the Congressional Record on
which they were printed. They had
spoken of the great crime against silver
and the plundering of the people by the
associated usurers of the world in terms
that were so scathing and scorching that
they had burned themselves into the minds
of all who heard them. And these are the
two men who are now closeted in daily
for stabbing the silver cause to death and
fastening the milestone OF the gold stand
ard around the neck Of the American peo-
pie, and throwing them, thus weighted
down, into the sea of contraction, where
the bondholding sharks are waiting to de-
YOUR them.
These two deserve eternal remembrance
as the twin Benedict Arnolds of bimetal-
lism--Carlsle and Voorhees,.

600 cans of tomatoes at its main house, and
100000 cans of tomatoes and 100000 of corn
at its branch house. but is about through

keeps quite large force canning soups,
catsups. etc. Last week this house shipped
sixty carloads of canned goods to St Louis,
and the last month has been making large
shipments to number of Eastern and
Western cities.
The American Canning Company, which
puts up largely corn, has canned the prod
uct of thirty acres of bottom land. where
the crop was unusually good, and the other
canning works have put up about their
usual quantity. Indianapolis has reached
quite a prominent position in canning fruits
and vegetables, and it's goods are now in
nearly every American market.

Admiral Mello. the revolutionary leader
in Brazil, is comparatively young man.
though old enough TO have worked his way
up from midshipman's berth TO be one of
the admrals of the Brazilian navy. He has
before now made his reputation as fighter.
and was in favor with Dom Pedro because
of his bravery and ability a naval COM
mander. He has been something OF a poll
tician, also, and was concerned in the forced
abdication of Dom Pedro, although the navy
took no active part in the revolution which
established the republic. When Fonseca
was made President Mello heartily support
ed him until "Deodora," as he is generally
called in Brazil, assumed too many of the
airs of a dictator, when the admiral Joined
heartily in the movement which ended in
Fonsecas deposition and the seating of
Peixoto in the Presidents chair. Mello's
professed reason for rebelling against Peixs
OTTO is that the latter is deferring the cleo
ton OF a President against the require
ments of the constitution and is plotting to
continue himself in power. PeiXoto Is only
Vice President acting President and il
said not to be himself eligible to election as
President, which is the reason why he holds
on to his power so firmly. Mello seems de-
termned TO compel his retirement, and IS
using every endeavor TO strengthen his
forces so that he may capture Rio.
