CURRENT COMMENT.

AS our readers know the South Carolina
Legislature recently appointed a commit
tee TO inquire into the affairs Of the state
penitcnt.ary and to see how the institu-
ton was conducted under the IAiman
regime. The Investigation has been go
iu.e on for some time past but the COM
mutee has about concluded its work ana
will submit its report TO Governor Me-
Sweeney this week A Columbia cor
respondent in referring 10 the matter
says:
'The sequel Will be one or more cases
I'm Court civil. and likely criminal The
testimony has developed two striking
things. Almost absolute Indifference and
carelcssncss in the handling Of the States
affairs and business by those charged
with such responsibility, and second. the
development of the tendency TO get some
thing for nothing out OF the state. that
IS. amy old thing" at the states ex-
pense."
This an comes not so much OF dishon-
esty. as of a slipsh0d way OF carrying on
the affairs OF state. The superintendent
Of the penitentiary seems TO have been re-
sponsible to nobody and the affairs were
permitted to go on I'm their own easy
way without even calling the management
10 account The superintendent and
three different governors OF the state
seemed TO- think that the emoluments Of
the penltentlary belonged 90 the officers
of government and they appropriated the
same with liberal hand. There IS a
lesson I'm thls to every State IN the Union
Eternal vigilance is the price Of good gov
eminent.
The Director of the Mint has nearly
completed his estimate Of the worlds gold
production for the year 1898. The data
al hand seems to warrant the conclusion
that the production will amount TO at
least sol. 100000 and possibly $3.50 900 GOO
Africa leads all other countries with $s0.-
800 900. with Australia second with $1,000
0gO and the United states third with SOi.-
4s3 600 Russia S. credited with $4,000. 000,
Mexico with slOO00.0O0 and Canada. in
Guiding the Klondyke, with 100000.
In 1897 Africa produced $5S3050 90 with
the United states second with s5l363.000.
and Australia third with S55,G 600: Russia
fourth with s23.2i5OoO Mexico fifth with
g. 426. coo and Canada, including the klon-
dyke sixth with SG.O27 900. The total for
the year was S237 $4,000. OF the $4,000 ono
credited TO Canada I'm lNS about So~oVo
came out Of the Klondykc, and In the es-
innate OF the production Of the United
states during the last year 252fOo0 came
from Alaska. In 1896 and for nearly fifty
years previously the United States occu-
pied the first place in the worlds produc-
ton OF gold In that year the output Of
the world was estimated at S2o2 GS2. 900.
These figures are subject TO revision in
making up the final estimate. but they
are believed to be approximately correct
How can It be said with these figures
staring us I'm tho face. that there IS not
enough gold to supply the necessary
money OF final redemption"
