Goebelism Rebuked in Kentucky

The entire country will rejoice
in the rebuke administered to Goe-
belism by the people of Kentucky
at Tuesdays election Goebel is
the exponent of "bossism" in its
most vicious form. His success
at the polls would have led to the
domination of Kentucky by a
machine even more outrageous in
its disregard of popular rights than
anything known to New York or
Pennsylvania. which are common
ly pointed to as the worst "boss"-
ridden states in the union. Goe-
bells nomination was secured by
means which were denounced by
his opponents as fraudulent, and
which certainly were dishonorable.
He started out TO make his way by
the use of bullying tactics and
rode rough-shod over all who OPP
posed his am bition. In this situa-
ton large numbers of democrats
considered it their duty to ignore
other issues and to make the de-
feat of Goebelism the chief consid-
Grafton. So sternly were they set
in this purpose that not even the
appeal of Mr., Bryan could avail to
save Goebel from the fate he so
justly deserved.
Kentucky is normally a demo-
cratic state. The republicans
elected the governor there in 1895
In 1896 Mckinley carried the state
by 2Sl plurality. Thereafter it re-
turned to the democratic column,
and no doubt might have been
carried by that party at'Tuesday's
election but for the new issue
raised by Goebel's attempt to make
himself its political dictator The
voters of Kentucky are to be con-
graduated on their exhibition of
independence Chicago Record.

OUR GOLD PRODUCTION.

The report of Director Roberts
of the United States mint at Wash
ington, has just been published
and an inspection of his figures re-
veals an interesting state of affairs
During the year 1898, South
Africa produced 1881, ,975 ounces
fine, of valuation of S79,2l3,953
Australia produced3, 1877 ,644 ounces
fine, of valuation of S6I $50
800. The United States produced
3,11S,39S ounces fine, of valu-
alton of $64 100000. To what the
United States did may be added
Canada's production of Sl3, 775, ZOO,
and Mexico of SS,500,000. These
three countries united bring the
grand total up to $50, ,73S, ,4o0-over
S7,OOO,0OO more than what South
Africa produced last year. To re-
capitulate the worlds gold produc-
ton for 1898, was $2S7, ,424 900, of
which North America produced
$50, ,73S, 400, or nearly one-third of
the total yield
Taking these figures the Mining
Record predicts that the report for
1900 will show sufficient increase
in Americas output to put her in
the lead of Africa. It says:
The record for 1899 will be in
creased according to calculations
based on Mr.. Roberts figures, by
at least 2,500,000, of a valuation of
$50, 00.00O-this taking account
of the loss from the Transvaal.
One-third of this increase, or Sl6,-
100000 falls to the United States,
and of this amount Cripple Creek
alone will contribute between 81
100000 and S3,000.000. This
amount of increase would have
reached S5,00O,O00 had not Cripple
Creek suffered set back from the
labor troubles during the summer
and which effectually closed all the
smelters and mills for two months.
The situation may be summed up
by saying that America leads the
world in the production of gold,
the United States is the greatest
country, and Cripple Creek the
greatest camp.

Banana Trade Troubles.

Mobile. Ala, Nov. 15.-The
steamship Managua, from Gaute-
malan ports, has arrived with half
cargo of bananas, reporting that
since the Gautemalan government
put on. an export duty of 10 cents
a stem on bananas, planters have
stopped cutting and cargoes of the
fruit are not obtainable.
The captain of the Managua
says that the tax of 10 centr stem
amounts to % per cent. of what
the planters get for bananas and
is about all the profit from raising
the fruit, and that planters may as
well let their fields lie waste as to
attempt to pay this tax The tax
was imposed November /.

TRIBES IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The possibilities of a general
uprising of the blacks in South
Africa, while the British and Beers
are locked in their death grappls
are proving very substantial. The
unrest of the Basutos. a warlike
and powerful tribe, occupying a
country east of the Orange Free
State. is acknowledged in London.
where fears are freely expressed
lest they take up arms, This tribe
is almost the onl y one in South
Africa that has never been severely
disciplined by the whites in war,
and, on that account it may be
difficult to hold them in check.
The Basutos are under a British
protectorate, and the British gov
ernment, therefore could be held
to some measure of responsibility
in case they should sally forth.
While this particular tribe would
probably attack the Beers, there
are others that would attack the

Utility of the work. leaving that to the
engineers who have studied the cOndi-
TONS and are we'll acquainted with the
difficulties.
Mgr. Thomas Griffin said he had not
come TO say anything but TO learn from
the object lesson presented by the en-
gineers. He was anxious to know The
result of the investigation made by
the commission appointed by the may
or as these men had been employed
for the purpose of making exhaustive
and impartial investigation.
He would say, however, that he had
been much pleased with the action Of
those who had gone ahead and secured
Ihe proposed plan, acting on the prIncI-
pal that God helps those who help
themselves" In so doing he Thought
SO far as he could understand the plans
developed were very feasible.
He thought the city should not act
TOO hastily in the matter. He consider
ed it within the province of the city
council to allow a hearing, and he ia
Vored taking time year longer if need
be, so long as the best solution of the
problem was finally reached.
He believed another hearing should
be granted and If 1t is not granted to
protest. After examination and a hear
ing let both sides abide by the conse-
quences. He thought the citizens
should insist on the plans being pres
ented to the city government of Wor-
cester in city hall assembled The cit
liens should remain strong for a hear
ing and when convinced they are right
ts go ahead in the name of God
In closing the meeting Mr. Vaughan
said the remonstrants would no doubt
encounter statements from officials in
the city hall to the effect that the plans
or the remonstrants are not competent
but he thought it the best policy to hear
what his clients have to say and decide
on facts, not fancies.
