The Horrors of war.

The latest news that has reached here
from Abyssinia Is surprising in the ex-
treme. When Col. Gallianos forces came
to the relief Of Gen. Baratieri, who was be-
leaguered at Makalle, they found the lat
ters men in a most pitiable condition.
Owing to the scarcity of water, they had
been unable to wash for TWEEN ty-fve days,
but still their ardor was not one whit
abated. 1t Is difficult to see why this should
be regarded as hardship to regiment of
Italian soldiers, or why any one should
think 1t remarkable that their courage did
not ooze away under such circumsta nces.
To one who has seen the Italian son of
Mars on his native heath 1t is not surpris-
ing that the men at Makalle could survive
an extended period without additions. On
the contrary, nothing would be so likely to
foment discord and instruction in an Ital-
ian barracks an order to battle "for the
altogether at least once a day. Now, If a
regiment of the Kentucky National Guard
could stand a siege of twenty-five days
without a drop of whisky and still be ready
to fight, the world might well stand
amazed, but it seems as though altogether
too much sympathy were being wasted on
the Italian army of invasion.

OIeOmargarine Regulations,

If thorough enforcement is given to the
hewly-promulgated regulations of the
treasury Department regarding oleomarga-
inc and kindred products which take eff

Fnitations of butter will be palmed off on
IN unsuspecting public as the genuine ar

prevent evasions of the law requiring max
prs md wholesale and retail dealers in this
commodity to mark their product with the
ForG 'oleomargarine'' so distinctly that the
purchaser cannot be deceived. There has
been persistent tendency on the part of

kne-half to two-thirds of the price of the
genuine article. OF course this is a direct
Ind distinct fraud and, as the law contem-
plates, should be punished by severe pen
rlties- But there are other frauds prac-
iced in@this same connection that are Just
Ps reprehensible and the new regulations
lend to prevent these. It appears that

An Excellent Measure.

A simple and effective solution of the
grade-crossings problem is afforded by the
bill recommended to Congress yesterday by
the District Commissioners. 1t adopts the
policy, frequently commended in The Star,
of fixing a date beyond which the main
tenance of tracks at grade becomes illegal,
punishable by heavy fines, the collection of
which would naturally soon bring the
offending corporations to terms. The Com
missioners in their bill fix this date at
January 1, 1900, and the penalties at 500
for each train or locomotive crossing a
street at grade, and 800 for each day
of delay in commencing the work of
elevating or depressing the tracks after a
lapse of eighteen months from the date of
the bills passage. The general purpose of
such a bill ought to become law. 1t does
not interfere in any way with the specific
plans of relief now pending or proposed
for such plans. it is plain, fall within the
provision in the Commissioners bill that
requires the details of the schemes for the
abolition of grade-crossings to be approved
by the Commissioners and Congress. Some
grade-crossings nuisance should be fixed
by law, and whether it Is earlier or later
than 1900 is, comparatively speaking, i'm
material The plan of the Commissioners
and Board of Trade Committee on rail-
roads is good one. 1t gives the roads
eighteen months to perfect their plans, and
then allows them the remainder of the
time until the first day Of 1900 to complete
the work This places a premium on the
speedy passage of the proposed bill, for
the sooner 1t becomes a law the more time
will be available for the establishment of
the new systems. Meanwhile, the two roads
should show some interest in getting
favorable action at early date on the
bills prescribing the methods of elevating
or lowering the tracks. The bill applying
to the Pennsylvania road is now under
consideration and measure relating to the
Baltimore and Ohio road is expected to
make its appearance In a short time.

The Prospective GIut of Gold.

The worlds gold production of 1875
eaehes the astonishing figures of S2Os.-
10000. Commenting upon this fact Har-
er's Weekly says:
The total of more than two hundred
pillions represents production half again
, great as that of four years ago. and
vice as great as the average yield through
ut the years from 1870 to 1890. Indeed. II
within the brief interval since Mr..
Lleveland's first election that the gold sup
~ has doubled. as that supply has been
nown to this generation. 1t is now larger
y half than in the years when the virgin
eids of California and Australia poured
prth their golden flood; twenty times
reater than In any year from the opening
= the century down to 1910; equal to the
ntire product of two decades before or

dawns, the supply Is doubled in seven
years, and so great yield IL predicted for
the immediate future that we are now face
to face with a condition not merely novel
to our day, but absolutely unique in his
tory-a prospective glut of gold"
The causes of this marvellous increase in
production are such as to give promise Of
future development even more startling.
Fresh discoveries of rich deposits and the
development of cheap processes by which
low grade ore can be proftably worked
are, with improved machinery and cheaper
labor, the main causes of the enormous
product The prospect is that new pro-
cesses of cons tantly increasing effective
ness will extract paying gold from lower
and lower grades Of ore, and that the only
limit upon the increase of gold production
is in the gradual exhaustion of the worlds
mines. Upon this point the Popular Science
Monthly says:
There Is scarcely any assignable limit
to the gold known to exist in the world or
even in the United States. 1t is said that
simply by the removal of the restrictions
on hydraulic mining California can produce
half billion of gold. The quantity easily
obtainahle in Colorado is stupendous.
Other parts of the United States are also
rich, while Australia and Russia probably
possess a stock equal to our own, and are
increasing the annual output every year.
But the most surprising and, so to speak,
revolutionary facts regarding gold that
have recently come to light are those con-
corning the great Witwatersrandt mines Of
South Africa. There gold is found In enor-
nous quantities and in cheaply workable
form in new geological situation-fn
strata the component parts of which are
pieces of quartz held together by a clayey
cement"
Experts have estimated the gold deposits
of the Transvaal ''in sight at above thirty
five hundred millions, an amount equal in
value to one-half the total output in all
the world from the time that the Two
Americas were discovered"
How much longer will 1t be safe to keep
the mints open for free coinage of gold?
Does not gold threaten to become the de-
preciating and deprecated medium? Should
not the anti-gold bugs with malice afore-
thought assent to the issuance of bonds
payable both principal and interest in gold,
If by so doing they will in few years
compel the Shylocks to accept the cheaper
money? VIII not we the people then have
to combine against the arrogant, blood
sucking silver bugs?
