There has been some doubt as TO
whether the United States was still
ahead OF the other nations OF the world
IN the production OF minerals. But the
annual report OF the chief Of the mineral
division Of the geological survey,
which has recently been issued, would
seem to settle this question beyond q
reasonable doubt The report alluded to
is especially interesting to those en-
gagged in our mineral products aud we
CLEAN some facts which will DO OF
interest to the general reader.
The yield Of all kinds OF ore In this
country in 1894 was smaller than It was
In 1898. and less than It was In several
former years, but 1t 10 siill Immense. A
singular fact in connection with the
aggregate value Of the production was
that SO large proportion OF It was not
represented by the output Of the precious
metals, nor by the coal aud baser metals
which make up so large share OF
minerals In England.
OF the total output the value was
1924 $685. l31, and Of this gold and silver
represented only $l04. 900. O0O and the
coal, pig iron and copper but 1884 $50. :
95S There remains as the value Of other
products the figure 1886 l65. IT'S, which,
1t is seen, is larger than the value Of the
gold aud silver combined. and beside
which the data for bitumInous coal and
for the yield Of iron and copper combined
are respectively Of secondary Importance.
Ia detail. the results OF the inv estI-
CATION Of the survey officials mark the
progress Of the Industrial fabric Of the
land with several specific facts which are
exceedingly interesting The production
OF aluminium, or aluminium as u Is
popularity called, reached 200 long tons.
The value Of the copper mined was
almost as great as that OF the gold and
half as large as the figure for iron. On
tin there was nc production to speak Of,
and no figures are given for either the
ore or the metal itself. The silver which
was turned out was less in amount by
10000, 600 troy ounces than was produced
In 1898 but even under that Limitation
eAe figure for the total quantity OF this
Hstll, as expressed in troy ounces. was
thirty five times as large as the yield Of
gold. The measured dow Of natural gas
had value Of SIC. 600 600.
But the complaint Is made BY the
government officials that poor and irrsg-
slsr methods are pursued by those who
follow the business OF producing All the
less common minerals The trouble with
the tin mines Is that they are not properly
worked to bring their owners the profits
which ought 70 come from them IL the
metal is rs easily obtainable as some
maintain.
1t Is the same with mica mines. and TO
40 extent the same thing must be said
In the case OF the deposits Of zinc, nickel.
Platinum and sons other metals. Rapid
progress Is however, belng made in the
development Of building stone queries.

THE THIRD TERM AGAIN.

II now turns out that the letter from
Washington published few days back
concerning Mr.. Carlisle's views Of Mr..
Cleveland's probable candidacy again,
was written by Mr. William Ryan. .oi-
lester of internal revenue for this district.
We quote that part of the letter which re-
lates TO the third term idea:

This is a very strong argument for the
denomination OF Mr.. Cleveland. and II
must he remembered that it comes from
a United states official whose relations
with Mr.. Cleveland are very close.
The Times sees indications cropping up
on all sizes Of a purpose 10 force MI
Cleveland on the party as its next noih-

which The Times will fight from TINS
time onward with all its might. All the
traditions of our party are opposed TO the

of the republic is threatened by the sus-
eestion that we shall violate our time

of. and every well-wisher Of his country
should put his foot down and declare that
he will not hear Of 1t.
But why do we hear nothing from MI

PEELED to resign. His resignation was a

Judge Fisher abhors Germans methods

prospect that German would force one
OF his tools upon the party for Governor
has aroused so much interest In Maryland
that number Of good citizens have pre-
vailed upon Judge Fisher to announce
himself as a candidate for the place.
Now, Notwithstanding the fact that he
is perhaps the most popular Democrat
in Baltimore city, and that If the wishes
Of the voters could be heard he would
most probably receive the support OF
or most the representatives from
Baltimore, he will not receive the
vote OF single one. but, on
the contrary. Baltimores represen-
tatiyes viii move heaven and earth
to defeat him. and they will cheerfully
vote for the most servile slave that Cor
man has rather than for Judge Fisher.
People of Virginia. do you want any
such condition Of things here as exists in
Maryland? We tell you that two years
ago you were at the very threshold Of IT.
The bosses here had adopted the plan
Of raising a large fund AT every election
to avert negro rule" which fund was
regularly spent in hiring tools for the
ring in all quarters Of the State The
ring was formed. and ii had fastened
grip upon the State that required a pro-
digious effort for breaking II. fortu-
nately the disclosures made at the begin
ming Of the last Legislature gave the
people a small insight Of what was going
on, and a few warning notes Of protest
came back from them. These notes have
been swolled into chorus Of considefa-
BILE strength. Its notes are being heard
in several quarters of the state. The re-
cent nomination of Mr.. Rice in Charlotte
county was one of their reverberations.
The death Of all contributions 10 a cam
paign corruption fund is the most mpor-
tant of them. If we mistake not the
temper of the people Of Virginia this cho-
rus is going to be heard soon in even
louder tones, and unless we are deceived
in the signs of the times. a Legislature
Of Virginans is coming TO this city
in December that will force upon the pub
