The war in South Africa has made the
price Of diamonds high, and they may so
stiu higher. The Kimberley district pro-
ducing 90 per cent. of the stones of com
merce. controls the market of the world
for diamonds But there are possibilities
ip connection with the war which may
knock the bottom out of the diamond mar
ket and send the prices down with rush.
Il is very wen known that the great dia-
mond trust has a reserve stock of stones.
valued at about $lO0000,O0O, in store at
Kimberley. This great stock of gems is
employed to manipulate The market in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of the owners
OF the mines. Kimberley is now being be-
sieged by the Beers. Should they capture
the town their first care would be to seize
the diamonds. Having seized them. they
would probably sell them as quickly as
tne opportunity for doing so presented it.

loose il can be readily conjectured what
me effect would be upon prices.

Manifestations of hero worship, in the
way Of presenting houses, swords and low
ing cups. are beginning TO pail just bit
upon the public. It is safe to say that
neither Joseph Wheeler nor Fitzhugh Lee
desires that there shall be any popular
and substantial demonstration of apprecia-
ton to him for his services in the war
with Spain. Wheeler and Lee are soldiers
from natural preferences. They have per-
formed their several duties with marked
ability, because it was their duty and not
for the purpose of receiving popular laud-
ation. Both are modest men. 1t may be
doubted that they would approve of any
exceptional Testimonial" in recognition
of their services.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Piusburg Dispatch looks for the
war in Sou Africa TO assume mucn gre t.
er proportions It says; The important
bearing of the Boer victories, however,
and The formidable investment of Kimber-
ley. is the effect it Is having on the Beers
in Cape Colony. These are apparently,
ready to rise against British authority and
so make the issue of the conflict one of
having either a great South African Re
public or a solid South African British
dominion. IL the Cape ColOnoy Dutch re-
volt the war will at once assume much
more serious aspect, for several reasons.
First. because it will mean an immediate
doubling of the Boer forces, and, second.
because there will then be an opportunity
to land men. arms and ammunition in sup
port of the republican cause. 1t is no
wonder Great Britain is apprehensive."

mendations for the clear and unmistakable
establishment Of the gold standard in the

banking law as shall provide for greater
elasticity Of the currency and for a more

COTTON VIII LABOR.

The Manufacturers Review of Birmins
ham, after canvassing the cotton mill sit
uation in the South, reaches the conclu-
sion that the time is not far distant when
the supply of white labor will be exhaust
ed. That point. it is asserted, has now
been pretty nearly reached in the cotton
manufacturing sections of North and
South Carolina. and also in some of the
Georgia mill towns Even now a new mill
has to give closest attention to its labor
supply; and new mills are being project
ed every month, almost every week, in the
Carolinas and Georgia. The Review says
that at present mill managers in the Caro-
linas ARE sending agents into Georgia
and Alabama. and even to the upper por-
tons OF Mississippi, to secure for new mills
a supply of labor" There are at present
approximately 500 cotton mills in The
South. During the next few years, prob
ably within five or six years unless ali
signs fail that number will be duplicated
The Southern people want more mills, and
are building them as fast as they can. But
the Review asserts positively that the
white labor supply cannot stand a dupli-
cation of the present demand upon it,
Within the next five years it is predicted.
there will be such a scarcity of white
labor for Inc mills as to cause a sharp
rise in wages. Then where is the labor
for the additional mills to come from?
Why, from the black race, answers the
Review. 1t takes no stock in the claim
that the negro cannot be made good op>
erative. All coons may look alike, bur
they are not all alike, and there are many
quick and intelligent individuals amons
them. This is to be seen in the fact claJ
there are so many competent and success
full carpenters, masons and other skilled
laborers with black faces.
It is possible that the blacks may be
made good operatives, and that mills may
be prof tably run with them. 1t Is prob.
able too, that the time is not far distant
when the white labor supply viii be e1,
hausted and mill owners viii have to look
10 the black race for their help. But IN
that event there would have to be ex-
clusvely white mills, and exclusively
black mills. 1t would not be practicabic
to have the two colors in one mill. Race
prejudice would prevent them from work.
ing together upon equal terms, or upon
any other terms, in fact. Especially Is
this true when it is remembered that wo.
men and girls as well as men and boys
work in the mills. The impossibii,y OF
white and black operatives getting along
together in harmony has been shown in
several recent instances in certain mills
in this state. There is one large cotton
mill in Charleston that is being operated
with colored labor. A NIL to employ col
ored labor exclusively is being built in
North Carolina. These experiments ara
expected to demonstrate the value of the
negro as a cotton mill hand. The Charles
ton experiment has been now in progress
for more than year, and reports respect
ing it are of an encouraging character.

\ Matter of Choice.

From the Baltimore American.
They do a heap of talkin'
Bout the man behind the gun;
They're always singin' of the deeds
This man has braVely done.
We're all proud of this hero,
Who bears the battles brunt-
But I'd rather be behind the gun
Than standin' out in front.
I'd rather squint along the sights
Than to be squinted at;
I'd rather see the breech- block than
The muzzle-tell you that!
More fun in bein' hunter
Than the object of the hunt
So, l rather be behind the gun
Than dodgiu' round in front.
In fact, to put it palmer,
/ wouldn't Ike to be
Out where the other fightin' men
Could get a shot at me:
And just about the moment
The shootin was begun
I'd like to be ten miles behind
The man behind the gun.

A Methodist minister the Rev. Mr.. Wix-
on, speaking before the Newburgh. N. Y,
Chautauqua a few days ago, advanced
the proposition that the criminal classes
would have to be exterminated, in justice
to the law-abiding classes. 1t was a gross
injustice. he said, that the law-abiding tax
payers should be saddled with the support
Of 10000 criminals. He favored ext ermina-
ton by chloroform after two fe-
lonious offenses. He was opposed
to hanging because il was too
violent, the guiloine because it was
too bloody and the electric chair because
it was too uncertain and expensive. None
Of these objections can be urged against
capital punishment with chloroform, he
said
