The bureau Of statistics of the treas
ury department furnishes some inter-
estIng information about the gold pro-
duction Of the world; especially Is 1T
valuable in connection with the con-
Germ expressed in commercial circles as
to the effect of the war now going on in
South Africa. The facts compiled by
treasury experts show that Of the &iO,-
O0O, 100000 worth OF gold produced in
the world since the discovery Of Amer
lea, more than one-half has been pro-
duced since 1860, and more than one
fourth since 1885. Or. to put 1t in other
words, one-half Of the gold product of
the last 400 years has been produced
within forty years, and one-fourth
within fifteen years.
The compilations summarized make
the grand total of gold production from
1888 to and including the estl-
mate for 1880. S9,SssO59,sOO. A casual
examination Of the figures OF annual
production shows so plainly the very
rapid Increase during the last half Of
the closing century OF the term under
consideration as to suggest detailed
examination Of the relative proportion
of recent production to that of the
S9,s3s,O59,6 600 gold produced since 1893,
35,s4i.s55. 600. or considerably more than
one.half, has been produced since 1860.
and $3.50. 2GO.4O or more than one
fourth, since 1885.
Regarding the effect of the suspension
of gold production in the Trangvaal
mines, tables are given which show that
the gold production of the entire world.
outside the Transvnal mines, is now
double that Of the entire world includ-
ing the Trnnsvnal decade ago, and
exceeds that Of the entire world in any
year prior to 1897 thus evldcnclng the
ability of the mines Of other parts Of the
world to furnish more than the aver
nge additions to the worlds money sup
ply that have been made In the imme-
dlate past.

senator pettigrew's "patriotism."

Senator Pettigrew, Of South Dakota,
was reported to have said in speech
at Woonsocket. that he was ashamed
OF his cOuntry's flag and that 1t ought
20 be hauled down. He now comes for
ward with an explanation which he
deems as qualification OF the words
imputed to him. 1t is very lame and
hating. The speech referred to was an
attack on President Mckinley and his
contention was that the President was
wrong in assuming that Providence had
anything to do with the United States
in occupying the Philippines. II said"
he explains, that II God had anything
to do with the transaction He must
have come to Mckinley in vision, thus
making the President the latest of the
prophets, and that in this way only
could God be made responsible, under
the circumstances. for our claims of
sovereignty.
81 said that refused to receive such
messages from God transmitted through
such source and refused to recognize
a God who would use such an Imple-
ment as a means Of making his wishes
known to US; that our flag stood for a
principle, for an idea, for the doctrines
Of the Declaration of Independence;th that
II was emblematic of these, and when
raised in violation Of the ideas for
which 1t stood and the principle which
made 1t dear to us, 1t wns no longer our
nag, and could only be restored to US
by pulling it down, and that / hlushed
for shame for my country's honor and
wished could blot out the recent his
tory we had made. never said l dis
owned my country or my nag"
Mr.. PettIgrew, like great many
others, gets away from the vital point.
The nag that he processes to be
ashamed Of was insulted by the overt
act on the part of Agulnaldo in rebel
ling against the authority Of the United
States. The rights Of this country in
the archipelago, strangely enough, are
not disputed except at home. The fine
sentimental frenzy which Mr.. Petit
grew has worked up deals with IN af-
fected reverence for the Declaration Of
independence. He. with Atkinson and
his coparceners. assumes the only
"blown in the bottleT patriotism that is
now extant, and his inelasticlty of mind
narrows the question down to the sltua-
tlon Of the eleven stubborn jurymen.

ORIGIN OF EXPRESSION
Didn't Do Thing to Him"-It wa
Bred In Boston.


worcester Gazette: The man who has
run about a bit thinks he knows the
origin OF the expression, didn't do a
thing to him." which was frequently
heard q year ago, and Is not entirely
obsolete to-day. He says 1t came from
Boston, which would indicate that 1t
must have been in good use from the
beginning, appearances to the contrary
Notwithstanding. According to this
story, the phase was bred and spread
from a police station in the neighpor-
hood Of Causeway street, in Boston. A
patrolman brought in a prisoner one
night with badly cracked head. TWO
or three officers had been concerned In
the arrest Of the fellow, and It was ex-
planned that the wounds were the result
OF an attempt to break away from his
captors, Some Of the arrested mans
friends had Joined in the fun, the other
officers had come up. and there had
been brisk tapping of clubs before the
prisoner was safely installed In the Off
ciaI wagonette. The lieutenant looked
at the blood streaks on the mans fore
head and said: Look here, Jim, you've
used this duck up pretty well. You
didn't have to soak him like that, did
you?"
"Oh, that must have been one Of the
OClGE pOySt StLlu JIM SSSlALAI6 . 49,
ture. IT didn't do a thing to this one"
"oh, no, you didn't" shouted the
prisoner in angry irony. "Oh, no, you
didn't do ting to me, you didn't. You
didn't do ting to me-" He gave Jim
various titles which, in spite OF the un-
denEnble advantages of realism, cannot
be repeated here. Look at dis. Loot,
an look at dis. Pipe de holes In me
nut. oh, he didn't do ting to me, he
didn't" Then he conferred more titles
upon Jim. besides repeating those which
he had already employed, and he was
led off to the cells still calculating, "Oh,
no, he didn't do ting to me-" Just as
the patrolman was leaving the guard
room to go back to duty second OFF,
Ger with second dlsturber, gathered in
n little later near the scene OF the frolic,
came in. The offenders head was as
badly cracked as the others had been.
The lieutenant smiled at Patrolman
No. and said to Patrolman No. 2,
"well, Reilly, ] see you didn't do a
thing to your man, either"
The Joke was told the next day, and
as the Jokes of those in authority are
quick to become popular, the phrase
was soon in use throughout that sta
ton, and no man showing the results
of a fight could be brought in thereat-
ter but some one would say, well.
they didn't do thing to him, did they?"
So Il spread over the country.
