THE GREATEST PRODUCER OF GOLD.


If the United States must be beaten in any
competition with the other nations of the earth.
It is at least satisfaction TO know that the
palm Is yielded not TO one Of the effete mon
arches Of the Old World. but to a progressive
sturdy young republic. The distinction Of pro
ducing more gold than any other country has
long been enjoyed by "the land Of the free and
the home Of the brave" But there is good rea-
son to believe that during the current year the
Transvaal will take the lead in this particular
industry, II, indeed. II has not already done so.
In ITS recent estimate Of the output for 1897
"The Engineering and Mining Journal credited
us Yankees with contributing S55.49S,950, and
the Beers with S55.472300 to the worlds sup
ply. The difference is paltry and is liable TO
be wiped ont by revised returns The signif-
canoe OF these figures will be better understood,
however, when n comparison is made between
them and those for 1896. The Increase IN yield
IN this country last year was only S3000,o00,
whereas the Transvaal made n jump OF S13,-
100000. Here is a pace that surpasses ours.
1t may not be maintained long. but it Is hardly
likely to slacken enough to prevent our being
beaten In the race in the near future.
Indeed, It Is quite possible that the United
States may drop to the third rank in this scale
within the next year or two. AuStralia's gold
production last year was more than $4,000
0OO not counting that Of New-Zealand and GER
tain small Islands in that quarter Of the globe.
This was an advance OF about $4,000 600 or
81 900 600 upon the yield Of 1896. II Australia
continues to gain at the same rate for the next
two years. and our own country merely repeats
the progress of the last twelve months. there
will he n second producer in the Southern Heml-
sphere with better record than ours
An interesting feature Of the Transvaal's
achievement Is the smaness Of its territory
The whole South African Republic falls a little
short Of New-Mexico in area. and eleven
twelfths Of It's treasure comes from district
not quite as big as Rhode Island The wonder
ful development Of the Witwatersrand Is con-
fined TO the last twelve years II was no longer
ago than in 1885 that gold was discovered there
And in the February number Of The Engineer
ing Magazine" John Hays Hammond expresses
the opinion that the amount Of precious metal
taken from that region will continue 10 in
crease rapidly for several years yet The eli
mate Of the Witwacrsrand, It may be remarked
Is highly salubrious and thoroughly delightful
In this respect, as well MS In others the vicinity
Of johannesburg Is n much more attractive field
of operations for the gold hunter than that of
Dawson City.

LNDESTRL4L EDECATLON

Among the topics considered at the Manu-
facturcrs Conference which has Just been held
in this city scarcely any was Of greater practi-
cal importance than that OF Industrial cduca-
ton. In spite of all the mechanical devices Of
the age the applications Of steam and olec-
trcity to manufacturing. tho personal factor
still dominates the problem Of production.
Human skill is no less necessary In the great
factory than in the cottage workshop. The great
power loom Is as dependent upon its operator
as the handloom Of a century or two ago
than before 1t has not dispensed with the
man himself. And while machinery can he

ment, and the plants Of Creusot and Essen
rival those Of Bethlehem and Pittsburc No
nation can hope 10 surpass another simply by
virtue of better mechanical appliances. Its su-
periority must he based upon the man outside
the machine upon the superior Intelligence en-
crgy or endurance of it's working masses And
since there is comparatively slight difference
between nations In the latter two respects. the
ground for competition is narrowed down TO
that Of intellectual ability.
There is no Disgusting the fact that on this
ground the United States is In danger Of being
outstripped; and that is not because of any
n. tural deficiency OF intelligence on the MARI
or It's Inhabitants. but because Of a general neg
iect to provide them with facilities for indus

On. The example Of Germany was

trial education. The example Of Germany was
recently cited In these columns. That empire
is dotted all over with industrial schools, estab-
lished and maintained at public expense, in
which thousands OF young men and women are
being scientifically educated and physically
t,aineC'or various handcrafts There is not n
branch of industry. unless it be the lowest grade
of unsklllcd labor. that has not one or more such
institutions The result is that German factories
are being filled with operatives specially and
thoroughly educated for the work they have to
do. That, more than anything else. is the rea-
son why Germany IS now able to compete sue
cessfully with British trade, even in British
markets, and why the ubiquitous legend made
in Germany" is regarded by industrial Britain
as n most ominous handwriting on the wall.
In France also. almost every public school has
its industrial annex. and there are innumera-
bic special trade schools. to which that country
owes the high reputation Of her wares Great
Britain is waking up to this fact at last, and
Is undergoing such n movement for technical
education as she has never known before. 1t
rests with this country to decide. and that
pretty promptly. whether 1t will adopt or not
the only sure means Of securing permanent
industrial excellence
an Introduction here of the German system Of
Stateaded industrial education. II savors too
much Of paternal government. The principle
Of free public education is nseparable from
our scheme Of government, but there is n gen
cral conviction that such education should be
general and primary. All children should be
thoroughly educated in the elementary and
common-schoOl branches before there should be
any higher education of special classes at pub
lie expense. Indeed there is not little obiec-
ton TO any such higher education at public ex-
pcnso ut any time II IS held TO be the duty
Of the State TO prepare its children merely for
the common duties OF citizenship. and not for
the pursuit Of business or the practice of the
learned professions In that view Of the case,
industrial education must be supplied by pri-
vate or corporate enterprise. 1t will be re-
proach to this Nation If 1t is not thus. and
speedily, supplied It will be more than a re-
proach: 1t Will be the certain cause Of ire
trievabe disaster.

scurng the design by flowers OF rhetoric or ar's
of special pleading. What they propose Is the
disfranchisement of the negro. and, now that
the issue has been decided at the polls. we need
look for no uncertainty or delay In the achieve

There Is one aspect OF the situation, however
which should not be ignored The whites VIII

majority OF the Louisiana blacks. and they VIII

and the financial and commercial interests OF

in their hostility to negro rule. How long can

TIE MAYOR REVEALS HIMSELF.

II it Is humillaiing TO the people OF New-fork
to realize that a bully and boor sits in the
City Hall as their Chief Magistrate, 1t is just
as well that they should learn upon ms own
showing what sort of man the Mayor really is.
When on the day of his advent 10 power he
seemed In his response to Mayor Strong's cour-
teous welcome. TO reveal a sury and malignant
temper Il was hoped that he had been betrayed
by the excitement OF the moment into doing
himself injustice. But. unhappily. 1t is no lon
ger possible to entertain that charitable sup
position. Mayor Van Wyck is deliberately tax
ing pains to make the people understand that
his manners are as bad ms his politics. his
latest outbreak against the President OF the
Board Of Education. whom not having appoint
ed and doubling his power to remove he detests,
differed only in degree from many previous
barbartles which have made II clear why his
managers never once permitted him during the
campaign to open his mouth In public Having
been elected, Mayor Van Wyck presumably sup
poses that such performances will he jubllantly
welcomed by those who voted for him as a con-
vlncing proof Of their own dscernmen; and his
complete fitness for the office
But he will surely find that official black
guard.sm is not safe Not even Tammany
Mayor can afford 10 violate every oblgaton
OF common decency in his intercourse with
the citizens whose servant A minority chose
him to be. President Hubbell Is entitled 10
much credit for preserving his serenity in the
face Of such provocaton to reprisals as a pub
lie official has scarcely ever had to endure be-
fore But this sort Of thing cannot possibly go
on without provoking from some man Of less
equable temper retort which will put the
Mayor where he belongs. amid the applause Of
the whole community In the mean time, his
conduct affords. on the whole, a useful measure
OF the man.
