DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED.
Booker T. Washington on the Condi-
tiOn of Affairs in the south.

The opinion of Prof. Booker T Washing
ton as to the condition of affairs in the
south was asked py representative of The
Star when that colored educator and orator
was at the White House. After careful
consideration, Prof. Washington spoke as
follows:
In the present excited condition of the
races in certain sections of the south L
think it the duty of ali good citizens, black
and white, 10 be cautious and thoughtful
and not add fuel to the flame. The mass
of the colored people have always been
IaW-abidlng citizens and they will continue
TO be. 1t is especially important that the
coIored people DO not get discouraged. 1t
Is also important to bear in mind that while
there Is trouble in a few sections, there are
ten thousand places in the south where
the TWO races are living peacefully and
happily together. All cannot be smooth
sailing. We must have the cloud as Well
as the sunshine. If the colored people con-
tinue securing education, property and
character, and cultivating in every manly
way the friendship of the people who are
their neighbors, no matter what their color,
our future is secure. In the future as in
the past there will be temporary backsets,
but We must not let these discourage U.s."

WORLDS COINAGE OF GOLD.
About Twice Grent This Year as
1t Was Last.

The director of the mint will soon make
public figures as to the coinage and pro-
duction of gold which will surprise the
financial and political world. These Will
show that during the fiscal year ended
June -. 1888. the worlds coinage of gold
was about twice as great as for the pre-
vious year.
Russia and Japan led in this coinage,
evidently to secure sufficient gold TO thor
oughly prepare for possible war. Ii Will
also be shown that the output Of the yell
low metal is increasing In large quantities.
The reports for the fiscal year will show
an estimated production of $27J.000 100, as
against S23I 100000 for the previous year,
and S1l0, ,OO0. go for 1873.
South Africa and Australia lead in the
enormous increase. From July I 10 No
vember / the Kloudil,e output receive q at
San Francisco was SlOOO0,TD0.

One of the best-indorsed representatives
is Joseph " Graf of the fourteenth Illinois
district He had been a strong sound mon
ey man and a steadfast indorser of Prcsi-
dent Mckinley, and the fight for his defeat
was waged along those lines. The heavy
manufacturing interests and the Germans
of Peoria, the largest city in his district,
voted for him literally, his plurality in
Peoria county being nearly l,so0. and the
total majority Of the district is nearly three
times greater than IL was in the republican
