The British folks are great meddlers in
the affairs OF, other countries. They think
they know it all, and are therefore capa-
Bile of instructing all other people about
their domestic affairs. Not long ago the
London newspapers were discussing lynch
ings in the south. OF course they know
nothing of the lynchings or the causes
which lead to them, but one reading their
voluminous editorials on these subjects
would suppose they knew all about them.
As a matter of fact the whole of their in
formation was obtained from the unre-
liable utterances of a colored woman who
went to England for the purpose as she
alleged, of arousing the sentiment of the
civilized world against the white people
of the south for lynching negroes.
But stin more amusing is their utter
ances relative to the purpose of the con-
sttutional convention of South Carolina
to make ability to read and interpret the
new constitution or the ownership of $500
worth of property qualifications for suf-
frage. One of the London papers, the
Daily News, speaking of these qualifica-
tons, says: Nothing but strong decla-
ration of public opinion throughout the
civilized world can prevent this mon
strous injustice. We are proud to say
that the Daily News has always champion
ed the cause of the negro in America, and
it will champion his civil rights as we'll.
What does the Daily News or any other
London paper know about the proposed
suffrage qualifications in South Carolina.
the need for them or the effect they would
have? 1t simply wants to say something
in behalf of the negro, whether what il
says is based upon common sense or not
Why doesn't it turn its attention to the
people of India, and demand for them the
rights of which they have been deprived
by English rule. What, it is pertinently
asked, would that journal say ito a pro-
posal to give free suffrage and self govern
ment to the native people of India and
other British possessions"
Senator Tillman and his constitutional
convention will not be disturbed in the
least by what the London Daily News
says. The senator and his followers are
much more concerned about what the
South Carolina papers say, though even
their utterances do not deter them from
carrying into effect the senator's plans
and purposes.

The Gold Mine RuhhIe.

It is clear that good many people IN
London. Paris and elsewhere in Europe
are going to get badly crippled financially
by the extraordinary craze for specializing
in South African gold mines. The craze
is startling in the extent OF its unreasOn-
ableness. No doubt a great deal Of gold
is being produced in the South African
mines, and their is promise Of a steady
increase in their output In 1880 the out
put was 100000. In 1894 il was $3.50
900. II is estimated that it will reach g,
10000 this year, and s60O00.O0O next year.
one English engineer, a man Of high char
acter and great reputation in his profess
wall alone contains S5.000,OOoOOO in gold,
and may, within the next twenty years.
yield as much as 100000 a year.
But neither the present output nor the
estimates justify the wild and reckless
speculation in gold mining property that
has been. and is still, going on in London.
A few Of the mines will pay dividends,
but where there is one that will pay there
are ten that will never pay enough to
cover the expense Of working them. No
doubt many mines have been sold for a
high price which have never yielded an
ounce Of gold and never VIII.
A curious feature of the speculative
craze is that the shares of new mining
companies are purchased as soon as put
on the market and very often at a high
premium, without inquiry as to whether
the mines owned by the company are
yielding gold or not. 1t is stated that the
aggregate quotation Of what are called
Witwatersrandt shares have risen in a
year from $l5oOOO.O 600 10 $75O,OOO,OOO. 1t is
alleged that shares in mines that have
never paid cent. and many never pay
more than the cost of working them, have
risen within few months more than 5000
per cent. Instances are noted Of the
shares Of companies rising in a single day
from IS, the par value, to $3.50 Even
mere holes in the ground are being capt.
talized and shares sold at high prices.
one of the results of all this specuIa-
ton is that there are a great many newly
rich men in London and Paris. Some few
of them have accumulated immense for
tunes and are making great displays Of
their wealth.
But what is to be the end of it all?
That is the question that is now being
asked. 1t is apparent that the end must
come pretty soon. As soon as the holders
Of the shares begin to realize that they
are to get no dividends, and this will be
the case with the great majority of them,
there will an attempt to put their
holdings on the market, and it will find
out that there is no sale for them. Then
the bubble will burst. a panic will follow
and there viii be a fun realization of the
fact that the fool and his money have
parted.

stolen Millions.

A fidelity insurance association. which
insures firms and corporations against
/ losses through the dishonesty Of en-
pIoyes. says that the total Of stealings
! by those occupying positions OF trust dur
ing the year 1884, amounted to more than
S25. 10000. As compared with the year
preceding, there was an increase in
stealings Of 100000 These figures rep
resent the crimes against property after
trust that became TO greater or less ex-
tent known to the public. 1t is possible
that several millions of dollars were
stolen concerning which only the thieves
and the losers know anything. In a
very great many instances employers
who have suffered losses through the
populations Of employees are content TO
let the matter drop with the making good
Of the losses and the discharge of the en-
ployes. Criminal proceedings are too in
frequently instituted. Family influences
are brought to bear, and the delinquents
suffer no greater penalty than discharge
from employment. And it not infrequent-
ly occurs that the unpublished and I'M
exposed thief begins forthwith to steal
again as soon as he has secured other
employment which offers him an opportu-
nifty to do so.
Twenty-Five millions of dollars is a
small sum when compared with the i'm
mense amount of money handled by en-
ployes in business during the course Of
year. But the unlawful taking of that
amount Of money is proof that business
methods are too lax in all parts Of the
countryside stealing takes. place in all
parts of the country. With careful bust
ness management and a strict supervision
Of those in places of trust in banks and
other institutions. there should be very
little peculation.
1t is probable that as much money is
stolen by men too weak to resist tempta-
ton as by men who deliberately plan to
steal If the weak men knew that they
were closely watched and that wrong do
ing would be promptly followed by ex-
posture and punishment. their moral cour-
age would be wonderfully strengthened
And thorough system Of checks against
dishonesty would soon expose to employ
ers those deliberate criminals who some
times work themselves into high posi-
tions for the purpose of robbing.
No honest man would object to the most
rigid precautions against dishonest en-
ployes. Every check against the thief
is protection to the honest employe.
1t lightens his responsibility, and re-
moves temptation further from him. 1t
reduces the chances of the honest man
falling under an unjust suspicion.
There is the need for business men and
institutions to adopt a thorough system
of safeguards for the protection of their
business interests against dishonesty. and
for rigid enforcement of the criminal
laws against thieves of all degrees and
stations in life for the protection Of So
ciety as a whole.

a Beard for Charity.

A pretty good story is going the rounds
on. Col. John E. Thayer of Clinton. and
explains why the fresh air fund recently
received a check for $500, says the Boston
Globe. 1t also explains the sudden dis
appearance of that beard when Con-
gressman-elect Simpkins of Yarmouth
wore this summer. Col. Thayer and Mr.
Simpkins were two of a camping party
in Maine. one night the crowd ''lix" on
the congressman's fiaxen beard as a sub
Ject of conversation.
Why don't you shave your face?'
asked the colonel of the congressman
Not much, was the answer; they re
worth too much.''
I'm give you a hundred to take 'em
off" urged the colonel.
mo, sir" said the congressman, en-
phatically. But I'll tell you what Til
DO 4 you want me to part with these
Qondly stroking the wealth of hair on
his facet; you double your figure and
send it to the fresh air fund and I'll pay
the barber for a shave"
Done" said the colonel. you call
on me with smooth face and it is a
bargain"
Each kept his word. Congressman
Simpkins' face once more wears that
boyish look that was so we'll known
when he was the senator from the Cape
district, and hundreds of little ones have
enjoyed the munIficence of Col Thayer
and the sacrifice of Congressman Simp-
kins.

Townsend, the Chicago negro preacher
who advises the people of his race to ap-
ply the torch 'in those cities" where
lynchings of black men occur, exposes his
ignorance in his advice. Lynchings seldom
or never occur in the cities. They are
perpetrated in the country districts or in
small towns. Townsend's advice, how
ever. was probably meant to apply to all
communities alike. But it will not be
taken, for the very best reasons. Men
like Townsend are fast losing their in
fluence with the black race. The blacks
are turning to men like Booker Washing
ton, who teach them not to meet lawless-
ness with lawlessness. but to obey the
laws, and win success and recognition by
deserving them.

Upon her lily throat
Set wistful fancy dreaming
With every haunting note.

No senseless modern lay;
