PEACE AND WHAT Is TO BE DONE.

Uses to continue it until the final re-
port from the Paris commission comes.
The terms are surely both easy and

come from the Paris commission that
begins to set a month or so hence. The
provisions prevail now in so far as
putting a stop to fighting is concerned.
So we will have no more war news to
please or excite. The ending of open hos

matte and congressional difficulties.

Parson Baylus Cade, of Russell's'
happy political family, has been on
the stump. He and Daniel H. Mclean
met in a big political discussion at
Dunn on the 18th instant, and Daniel
slew him. At least so says a report in
The News and Observer. There were
1000 people present, when the aide
de-camp of the fat governor came out
boldly, squarely in favor of negro
equality. That perhaps reveals where
Dan stands. That is one more nail in
the black radical coffin. The report in
our Raleigh contemporary says:
"In words of burning eloquence and
resistless logic, Mr.. Mclean exposed
the villainy of the present administra-
ton in North Carolina, and the treach-
cry of the pOpulist leaders, which has
made honest ~populists the uninten-
tional allies Of republican miSrule and
negro domination.
when compelled to face the issue,
Mr.. Cade came out boldly as the cham
piOn of the negro, advocating not only
politics, equality, but in words whose
import could not be mistaken, social
equality of the races. One sentence of
his speech, which will carry one hon
est populist, for every letter it con-
tains, into the white mans party, Il

THE ERA OF GREAT MEN.

Some one observes, apropos of the deaths of Gladstone and Bismarck, that the era of great men is closing. Judging from the reports in the daily newspapers since the war began, great men are springing up on every side But, as one of the poets remarked every age is unheroic to those who live in it; so it may take two or three gen. eraticns to discover that nature care fully preserves the germ of greatness and inoculates every age which needs it. The peculiar kind of greatness which made one man the ruler of a vast empire and another an arbiter of blood and iron may not be called for under present modern conditions; but the spirit of greatness is independent of conditions and particular applica- tions. The end of the next century will doubtless have as much cause as this to weave laure1s for its heroes.- Baltimore American.

OUR BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

There need be no fear of stringency in the money market in consequence of the large movement of capital result ing from the popular absorption of the new bonds. Conditions are very differ ent now from what they were at the time of the last few loans, taken by the bankers Then the bonds had to be paid for in gold, which was to be locked up in the treasury out of the reach of business. This time any kind of American money will pay for the bonds, and as the government is pay ing out at the rate of over a million dollars a day there will be no with drawal of funds from the regular chan nels of trade. Besides, we still have a large balance in the money markets, subject to draft, and the decline of sterling exchange to the importing point shows that we are beginning to bring some of our money home. Here after the coming of money in our di- rection will be in still larger volume than in the past, as our exports are
 increasing and we are about, unless all signs fail, to enter upon a new era pof commercial expansion. There is no good reason why we should not be before many years. as big a cred tor nation as Great Britain herself. ,.

Silver.

As will be seen, the gold production is now equal to the combined produc- tion of gold and silver in the years just before 1890. If we allow for the pro- portion of both metals required in the arts, the amount of geld now available for monetary uses exclusively is con- siderably more than fifty per cent more than was available in both met als in 1883. The bearing of these facts wolves, of course, no considerations that are now absolutely new; but it is worth noting that each new set of figures, as it comes along, strengthens the force of those considerations.

GOLD PRODUCTION.

According to the estimates just giv- en out of the United States mint bur eau the production of gold throughout the world for the calendar year 1898 will be about s275 ,000 ,00G; and as these estimates have always been marked by strict conservatism the figures given will probably prove well within the mark Last year the total world pro- duct was, in round numbers, $240, ,000,- 00o. The increase expected this year will not come mainly from the United States, but from Australasia and
 South Africa. Our own output-and the mint director has just returned from a tour of inspection of the west ern hints and assay offices-does not now promise to exceed $63, ,0Oe, ,O0O, as compared with 5S,O00,0OO last year. These figures do Kot include the pro- duction of the KEondyke region. Most of the new gold fields up there-at least those that have begun to be worket-are outside of the jurisdiction of the United States and the mint di- rector is trying to separate carefully tion He is also allowing good deal for exaggeration in the rose-colored reports brought back from the north by prospectOrs and speculators. At
 present, for example, he will not ad-
 init that the total Klondyke production
 for 1898 will exceed $1O,O0O,0O0.
 It is probable, therefore, that the
 United States will drop this year from of the greatest gold producing country
 in the world. In that year, with pro-
 duction of $53,08S.O00, we led both Australasia and South Africa, the for mer producing 45.1S1, 300 and the lat ter $44, ,407 500. In 1897, as has just been said, the United States product
 was valued at $5S,0OO,O0O, while the Australasian fell but little below that and the African rose to $6O,000, 900. This year it now looks as if we should
 be surpassed by both Africa and Aus trafasia. Up to the end of May the re- turns from Africa showed production
 in the WitwaIersrandt district of $1,- 616,993 ounces, as compared with l. 136,902 ounces in the corresponding
 months of 1897 and S60,S63 ounces for 1896. If this rate of increase is main tained through the rest Of the year the
 African product for 1898 will be about double that of 1896, and the London
 estimate of a total African output for
 the year of s75,OOO,OOO will not be found eXtravagant. Australasia, ac-
 cording to returns so far, also promises a large increase.
 | Together these three countries now 1 bid fair to increase the total 1898 pro-
 duct over that of 1897 by at least $20,- 000.000, and their aggregate contribu- ton to that product will be nearly l S200, 100000. Figures of that magni-
 tude remind us again very forcibly oi the great change that has taken place i in recent years in the conditions affect
