ATLANTA,S BULL FIGHT.

The spirit that makes man enjoy a
padded bull fight is in the suburbs of
the spirit that would enjoy the real bar
barrie bull fight. The Atlanta EXPOSE
ton authorities defend 1t on the ground
that it will be "as harmless as a stage
duel, and nothing more than a living
picture, so to speak"
The protest against this demoralizing
aping of Mexican brutality by William
Hosea Ballou is the subject for much
sport by the Atlanta press. But it is no
subject for ridicule or sport. 1t is a
subject for serious consideration. The
moral element of the country land this
composes nineteen twentieths of the
population will not approve of the in
PRODUCTION of bull fighting in an Expo
sition intended to be great aggregation
of the progress in the arts and sciences,
agriculture and mining and manufactur-
ing.
If it is to be nothing but an imita-
tion,. those whose taste would approve
of a bloody bull fight will be disap-
pointed. They will not like the shadow
when they would like to see the sub
stance. If it is to have any of the aces
SORES of real bull fighting, it will shock
the moral sense of the whole country.
Mr.. Ballou is right. The bull fighting,
whether real and bloody, or sham, 'a
living picture, so to speak, ought not
to be permitted 1t is an appeal to the
brute that is in man; not to his love for
pleasure, or his education or liberal ideas.

THE GOLD PRODUCTION.

The gold production this year is eX.
pected to. exceed two hundred million
dollars as against $181, 800, 900 for 1894,
Reports to London financial papers from
South Africa indicate that the Wit-water-
srandt region alone is now producing
81, 900, 900 per month, which will make
$48, 900, 900 a year. This was about the
average for May. The other districts of
Africa are counted upon to supply the
deficit, if this region fails to reach quite
the total named. The whole African
product In 1894 was $40, 246, 900, so that
gain of 8,000,00 will be afforded on
a single continent.
The Australian production is increas-
ing and promises to largely exceed
Sal, 760, 900, attained in 1894. The race
is getting to be hot one between these
two countries and the United States for
the highest record for the year Aus
tralia won in 1898, with Africa a close
second, and the United States third
Africa seems likely to win this year,
with Australia and the United States
fighting for second place. The Colorado
people promise to increase their product
from 50, 491, STA in 1894 to about ST.
OOO,0 900 The mint officials scarcely
credit such au increase, but admit that
Colorado will show a big gain. The
Cripple Greek region, which has been
averaging 100000 to $400, 900 a
month has suddenly climbed to $780,
600 a month, indicating a gain of
81, 800, 900 for the year. The Lead
vile district is also showing an
increase. Hydraulic mining is now al
lowed under certain restrictions in Cali
fornla, which is counted on toincrease
the product of that State. The facts re-
gardng the production of Mexico also
indicate seeming increase because of
the apparent suppression of the actual
production of previous years under the
influence OF the export duty on the pre-
cious metals. Even the distant territory
of Alaska promises a bigger product
than in 1894 and tests are being made
in South America which are thought
likely to increase the gold output of
those uneXplored countries.
a production of $500, 900, 900 in
single year will equal the aggregate pro-
duction of both gold and silver as re-
Gently as 1886 and will be twice the
average gold production during the
years from 1881 to 1885.

THE REMEDY FOR LYNCHING.

In the November number
of the American Law Review, Justice
Walter Clark contributed an article
upon a topic that has a peculiar interest
at this time. We quote
The remedy for lynching is to restore
the confidence of society in the just,
prompt and efficient trial and punish
ment of criminals. Courts are very ex-
pensiye to the people. Yet in most cases
if a criminal can procure the services Of
able and skiIlful counsel the advantages
granted to the prisoner in a trial for q
capital offence are such that a verdict
for the State is almost impossible, no
matter how fragrant the offence, Or if
a verdict is had, so numerous are the
technicalities that it is very difficult for
the trial Judge to so conduct the trial
that reversal will not be had on appeal.
The trial of capital case when the pris-
oner is guilty, generally is not so much
an investigation of the truth of the real
matter at issue as a display of legal
skill on the part of counsel, which is
usually sufficient to prevent the execu-
ton of the just sentence of the law.
Let the trial be speedy, and the pun
ishment, if there is a conviction, be
prompt and certain. Remove the tech
nicalities which render so many trials a
travesty. abolish the delays and con-
tinuances which battle justice, and which
make punishment at the end of long
chase, take on the appearance of revenge
rather than justice. Do these things,
and not only lynchings will disappear,
but the grand annual total of over TO-,
900 capital offences will shrink wonder
fully.

AT the last session of the Legisla-
ture of the State of Indiana, the
Republicans passed a bill gerryman-
dering the State in such way that ii
was believed the Democrats could not
have a chance of re-eleeting Senator
Voorhees,. The decision Of the Supreme
Court, declaring the new apportionment
invalid, holding that the Constitution
contemplated an apportionment only
once in ten years, gives the Democrats
a cha1cc in Indiana in 1896. It would
be national calamity for Voorhees, tC
be defeated.
