Although the financial world looks to South
Africa and Western Australia for its chief incre-
ment Of gold at present, It is possible though not
probable that New-Jersey may come in as an
important auxiliary and be the arena of another

nioter fields have originated r the London mar
ket. There is no gold In sight yet 1t Is true, but
Mr. Henry Fos!ck OF New Brunswick, has had
the same dream three successive nights. and 1t
IS his opinion shat that repeated nocturnal vision
points to the discovery OF unlimited treasure
somewhere in the neighborhood Of Assiscunk
Creek fortune-teer told him the same story
long ago, admonlshing him to be on the lookout
for q small Y hite house with barn. both In
line with a clump of bushes, containing stone
slab with the imprint of mules hoof In the
middle OF t. like the track OF Mahomet's camel
In the pavements OF Jerusalem. They have all
turned up not only in his dream but In his wax
ing vision likewise, and he Is going to break
ground as soon as a few premnaries are ad-
justed The incident is given not only as a cur
rent item of news, but also to show the influence
which dreams and fortune tellers yet exert upon
the New-Jersey Imagination, in the region watered
by Assiscunk Creek and elsewhere The gold
deposits In the State best worth discovering are
those stolen and cached by It's politicians. and
these are little likely to be located by Mr..
Fosick's attendant SYPHILIS outlined In his
dreams or turned up by his excavating spade.
II he should strike any other lead he will be
lucker than anybody except himself imagines,
and is more likely to upon true fissure veins
Of red clay and hard pan than Of the precious
metal.

The report that petroleum poured on the waters

ately abrogates that insect Is too good to be alto

canard The geographical distribution OF the

the domestic hen. and real agent of extirpation
would have a much larger sale than Kentucky

Elections not very cheap there. but far less
costly than formerly. the law defining the methods
and extent of outlay with a rigor unknown In the
olden time. The record Of the Parliament shows
that the candidates were not in all cases worth
their cost nor even their salt. but that will hap

laws in England work well, correcting host OF
old abuses and being as economical in their
operation as could be expected.

THE resolution of thanks to Mir. Brewster Cameron at the Rockport meeting on Saturday, was but 8 mild expression of what is due him for the work he has done for Aransss Pass Texas. Probably no one-not even him. self-csn fully realize the force of will, the stesdfsstness of purpose, and the iron nerve that must have been neces- sary to sustain him in the fight of SIX teen long months against the overwhelm- ing combination of adverse conditions that prevailed during most of that tune. held by many to be absolutely useless to attempt to induce capitalists to un- lock their coffers for any proposition, however tempting, during period of severe financial stringeDcy, aggrsv ated by labor troubles that convulsed the country from ocean, and by the uncertainty of pending fiscal legisls- ton. MT. Csmeron's fidelity to the trust reposed in him, through the long and severe strain he has undergone in their behalf commands the sdmira- tion and gratitude of the people of southwest Texas. He has achieved no halfway victory, but has enlisted for Arensas Pass and southwest Texas one of the greatest financial powers of the earth, whose name is already drawing to this section the favorable attention of the union. Mir. Cameron's success, achieved when promoters generally had gone out of business in dispair, tells the world of the stupendous merits of the proposition, and in DO less degree the merits of the man. His most difficult mission IS nobly fulfilled; let the people now quickly complete their part of the contract, and all will be we'll with them. -Ar8nsas Pass Herald.

MIR. H. H. CABANIss, manager of the Atlsnts Journal, has hit upon a novel idea for helping the cotton states and International Exposition. He invited the womsn's department of the exposi- tion to get out the paper for one day, and the proposition was accepted. Mrs. Joseph Thompson, president of the wo- mans board of managers, will be editor iH chief and other ladies will conduct the different departments. St Valen- tines day has been selected and the la- dies will edit the Journal that day and take the proceeds for the wonsn's de- pertinent of the exposition. Women re- porters will do the courts, railroads, sta tion house, recorders court, capitol and everything else. All the regular force will be discharged for that day and the ladies of the exposition board will tsKe the whole responsibility. The list in cludes some of the brightest women in Atlanta and tie Valentine Journal is expected to be the raciest issue that has ever been printed.

THE territorial penitentiary is, so far as we can learn, model institution. When the writer examined it some months ago it presented a both neat and cleanly appearance throughout, not only as to men themselves but the CD. tire institution. The work done could not be improved and presents 6 massive and solid appearance. Just how much of the work has been done under the present management we have 70 means of knowing, but we do know that the improvements have been extensive and done at 8 minimum cost to the territo- ", at least such is the general report. The prison farm at the confluence of the Gila and Colorado rivers will lessen the cost of msintainance, and there is reas- on to believe that in due course of time this costly institution can be made self sustaining. The place is not only we'll officered but is we'll guarded, the men being especially we'll qualified for their several duties and stations. We say this as republicans for the reason that we believe in being fair even politically and giving due credit where it of right belongs.

ONLY LET HER LOOK WELL.
And the Average Woman VIII Face Death
 with Reasonable Calmness.

And the Average Woman VIII Face Death
 with Reasonable Calmness.
 A young lady of Owensboro, Ky, while recently visiting in another state, narrowly missed a horrible death. She was walking upon long and high railroad trestle with male friend and they were overtaken about the middle of it by lightning express train They had sufficient presence of mind to step out upon the end of the ties, and, crouching down, clung to a water barrel fastened on the side of the trestle. The flying train caused such a vibration of the trestle and the young woman was so frightened she all but lost her grip upon the barrel, which would have meant horrible death upon the rocks below. After ward she said she did not think in this moment of great peril of her father, mother or sweetheart, or the little sins of her past life, but only of the fact that the greasy barrel and cross ties were ruining her new spring gown. This reminds the Owensboro Messenger of the experience of a girl at Russellville, who, when run down in a carriage with a gentleman at crossing by a train, suddenly found herself suspended in midair on the pilot of the engine, supported by one arm of the gentleman about her waist, while he clung on to the pilot with the other. She said she only re- membered that she had gone out to drive with her shabby shoes on, and wondered if anybody was seeing them.

THE inability of the Boston Herald

THE inability of the Boston Herald to see the truth concerning the money question, remarks the Denver Republi- can, may be mentioned among peculiar psychic phenomena. It is strong ad- vocste of gold monometallism, but it lsbors under mental inability to avoid the errors in winch reckless advocacy of gold monometallism is sure to involve one. An illustration of this is found in e recent issue. It tells of suffering among the farmers of Ksnsss, and of how they labor under a heavy burden of debt, of how their interest charge is excessive, of how 10000 of them are dis possessed every year, and of how the people of that state have lost in ten years practically s3,OOO,OOO through de- cline in the price of corn and wheat, products which they have to dispose of at @ bare per centsge above cost of pro- ductiop. It is true it takes this figures from an article written by the governor of Kansas for the North American Re- view, but it accepts them as correct. Yet our hsbltually erroneous friend fails to recognize that all this suffering is a di- rect result of that decline in prices which itsef is 8 result of gold monometallism. Upon some other occasion the Herald would be quick to say that the low price of wheat is due to improved methods of production. The Herald and other gold monometsllist papers simply will Tot eee

THE question of female suffrage V

THE question of female suffrage will undoubtedly come before the legisla- ture in one form or another as it usual ly does, and there is 8 substratum of opinion that if it does not become the law of the land it will be close enough to give the anti-suffragists a wild eyed scare. It may not, however, pass at this session of the legislature nor at the next, but it is sure to come. The digni ty of self sovereignty, with which wo- man is to be crowned, like other great social reforms may moved slowly, but it moves irreslstsbly. Like the Piute h. dian who had been detailed to avenge a tribal death sad of his victim, T get him, maybe one month, maybe six month, maybe ten years, maybe long time, but get him." And so it is with woman suffrage. It may be necessary to bury one or two generations more of mankind, but the masculine basls os the right to suffrage must go down before the common consent of higher civili- zatlon than we now enjoy.

MEN AND WOMEN IN NNEWYoRK.

The census. says Harper's Weekly, reveals some curious facts about the distribution of New York's excess of women. New York city has 20,00 of them: Brooklyn, 17,000; Albany, $500; Troy, 5000; Utica, 5000; Rochester, 4O0O; Syracuse, zoo. They are all practical ly, ia the larger cities of the state, the one exception being Buffalo. which has 4000 more men than women. It would be interesting to know more about these 4OO0 superfuous Buffalo men, whether they are Polscks, Italians, lake sailors, canal -bostmen, or merely lively young bachelors from the country in the west ern part of the state who have gone to Buffalo to seek their fortunes. New York city's business opportunities. attract quite as many women. yeti the excess of women in New York is comparatively small. The city has 45 women to every A men, while Brooklyn has 26 women to every 25 men, and Troy II women to every 10 men. Why should it happen that in the suburban counties nearest New York there should be more men than women? It would seem thst of the population drawn by the metropolis to this end of the state the unmarried men would nearly all live in the cities, and the dwellers ID the suburbs would for the most part be people with families. Yet the suburban counties all show sn excess of men-1300 in Westcheeter, 1700 in Richmond, and 2300 in Queens.

PLENTY OF CABS IN LONDON.
The Withdrawal of Five Thousand of
 Them Makes No Disturbance.


 The recent withdrawal of five thou sand cabs from the streets of London on account of a strike of the cabmen against the owners of the vehicles was talked about with apprehension before it occurred. When the cabmen finally struck, it was found that the vast pas senger traffic of London could be handled easily by the cabs still in serv- ice. These figures give some idea of the enormous number of cabs in the English metropolis.
 Pat Sheedy once remarked that there were more cabs in London than there were men in New York The cabs and horses are nearly all owned by the big stables, and the cabmen pay about three dollars and seventy-five cents a day for the use of a cab and one horse. The driver must feed his horse three times a day, and it is by no means easy for the cabmen to make profit, since one may travel two miles in any direc- tion in a cab in London for a shilling The public does not bother much about elevated or underground roads in Lon don. It is claimed there that they have solved the rapid transit problem by having perfect pavemen,s throughout the city, so that the cabs run easily, and the fares have been brought down to minimum

IT being now certain that no financial legislation either good or bad can be ex- pected from this congress, the belief is general, both in and out of congress, that sn early session of the fifty-fourth congress will be called to consider finan- cial legislation. It is no longer @ ques- tion of what MT. Cleveland wants, or what the democratic party wants, but of whst is necessary to maintain the credit of the United States government, which takes precedence of all other questions. The democrats having proved their incompetence, the republicans must be asked to come to the rescue.

LEvEI-HEADED republicans are glad
 that Representative Sibley, of Pa, who this week made the most disgraceful per.
 soma. attack the president of the United States ever heard upon the floor of the house, claims allegiance to the dem- ocratic party. Repub blicans do not admire MT. Cleveland, but in criticising his public acts they never allow them selves to forget that he is president. Mir. Sibley's speech was sprinkled with coarse language, which should never have been allowed to be uttered on the floor of tEe house, or anywhere else in tLe presence of gentlemen, but for some unexplained reason no member called hIm to order and he kept on until his time had expired, although there was no indication that bis supply of billingsgate was exhausted.

Mutton in the Southwest.

In the meat shops of towns in New Mexico and Arizona the visitor from the east is apt to notice that the dressed carcasses of sheep have tuft of wool still attached to the head and tail. This is left by the butcher to as- sure the customer that it is mutton and not goat flesh they are buying, for in these territories many fiocls of goats are reared and pastured by the small Mexican ranchmen to be killed for food for the poorer natives. Roast or stewed kid, with Chilli pepper sauce, is an esteemed dinner dish at the tables of many well-to-do American and Span ish-American citizens.

 WAsHINGToN, Jan. 14-Senator Hill was asked last night if he did not think congress at this session should take steps necessary to brlng about popular elections of United States Senators,
 ''Yes," replied Hill. '1 think congress should give the country not ouly the Financial Legislation it needs, but other app opriate legislation demanded by the best interests of the people. mong other things it should pass the proposed amendment 10 the constitution for the election of senators by the people. It is a much needed reform, the importance of which at this time cannot be over- estimated.
 'The house. which usually is more in touch with public sentiment than the senate has already passed joint resolu- tions proposing an amendment to the constitution providing for the election of senators by the people, and these res- olutions are now awaiting action by the senate. If the senate should concur with the house and pass the resolutions, have no doubt whatever but the amend ment would be ratified by the requisite number of states.
 "It is popular movement. It sccords with democratic ideas and sentiments. It would improve the senate and bring that body more in accord with public sentiment upcu great measures. Sena- tors h. se election Is removed from the people and is for long terms, naturally become indifferent to popular desires and are slow to act upon important questions. Legislatures can be i'm properly manipulated and controlled by influences which cannot we'll reach the people of 6 whole state, and many scan dals would be saved and better selec- tions secured as general rule. if power of election were vested in the electors of the state.
 "The election of United States sena- tors by the people would largely relieve partisan legislatures from the tempta- ton of ''gerrym sndering" Legislative districts, and members could be chosen according to merit and not because of their attitude toward senatorial candi- dates.
 States which are ordinarily democra- tic like Connecticut, New York and New Jersey could elect democratic senators by vote of their people while by req son of serrymandering by Legislation or in constitution 1t may be mpOesi ble to do so. Democrats ought to be able to see where their true interest is upon thIs question and should act accordingly
 'The democratic, independent, and republican press that favor this con- stitutcnsl amendment should press the matter upon the attention of readers. No important reform was ever accom- plished except by agitation, and aRita- ton sometimes even affects the senate of the United States"
