General Fuz John Porter Dead.

General F'itz John Porter who com
man,led the right wing Of McClcllaud's
army Ia his ''on to Richmond" died
Tuesday morning ut his home in New
Jersey.
Gen. Porter made a gallant stand at
MechanicsviIe and at Gaines Mill at
the opening 81 the seven days battles
around Richmond, Int was afterwards
charged with cowurdice for non.support
OF Gen. John Pope at the second battle
OF Manassas, and was cUurt.martialed
aud dismissed from the service. Later
his case was reopened and at bis second
trial he was acquitted and restored to
his rank.
That was great wrong done General
Porter, No Federal troops ever fought
more brayely than Porter's command
at Gaines Mil. We remember the
stand they made; We remember the
dead on the battle field; we remember
distinctly the weird picture 10 the pine
forest in the night after the close Of
the battle ~ the piue-knpt camp fires
cast their white lights over corpses
strewu thickIy over the ground. The
COnfederates always counted General
John Pope the poorest Of the Federal
generals, and never, for once, thought
Gen. Fitz John Porter coward.

Will There be q flint Of Gold!

From American Mining News.
The extraordinary increase in the
production of gold in modern times has
given rise to the question, Is Colds SUI
premacy as standard of value in dang
er? In recent lecture before 900 stud
ents, Professor N. ). Shaler, who holds
the chair Of geology in Harvard Uni
versity, predicts that within the next
thirty years there will be an influx OF
gold such rs the world before has never
known. II, as a result OF this big pro-
duction, the price OF gold should de-
preciatp, which is possible, the pro-
fessor holds that another metal must be
looked for as u token OF international
value. He believes the substitute will
be silver, because it is not found like
gold in alIuvial plains and il more diff
cult to mine.
Excepting iron, gold is the most gem
orally diffnsed OF all metals. OF course,
! it does not occur everywhere in paying
quantities; that happens only in spots.
But the new system Of mining in mod
ern times have broadeHed the produc-
tive gold field Of the earth immensely.
During the past hall century The worlds
output Of gold has become, in conse-
} quence, more than twice what the three
and one-half centuries Immediately
proceeding produced.

A SUMMER NIGHT SEA TRIP.

Nothing more delightful orrefresh-
ing can be imagined than short sea
trip, to break the mOnotony of a jouur-
ney by rail. Who that has travelled
thus, but recalls with plsasurable
thrills the delights of the ride between
Norfolk and Washington, Baltimore
or New York. The splendid cuisine,
tempting the appetite, already sharp
ened by the salt breezes, and the the
cool quietude of the. decks, and good
nights rest, bringin in it's wake re-
newed vigor and energy, are memories
never to be forgotten. The vacation
traveller finds in this the recuperation
he seeks, before he has even reached
his destination, and the business tour
ist brings to his occupation a clear
head and sound nerves.
Summer Excursion Rates are in eff
feet via Norfolk and the water lines,
presenting most favorable conditions.
Any agent or representative of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway can give
you full particulars, and will cheerully
do so.

CHANDLER ON TRUSTS.

Ex-senator Chandler, now head
of the Cuban Claims Commission,
Washington, is out with an appeal
to the Republican party to regulate
the trusts. Mr.. Chandler speaks: up
as loudly as though he were not as
utterly alone in his party in advo-
eating such ideas as is Mr.. BabcOck
in advocating tariff reform. He. re-
hearses the evils that have arisen
and are arising through the fOrma-
ton Of these gigantic monopolies.
Concluding as follows:
"What is the remedy for the
threatening evils? It is easy and
sure: the exercise Of legislative con-
troll over corporation organizations.
No abolition of competition in any
business can take place through
agreements Of individuals or part
nerships of individuals alone. Cor
porate powers are indispensable.
Bonds and stocks must be issued
and thrust upon the markets. But
the Legislatures can decide what
shall be the quantities Of bonds and
stocks and can limit the business
which each corporation may do.
Congress can absolutely control the
Interstate commerce railroads. The
State Legislatures can also govern
them and all other corporation mon
opolies and force them back to the
ancient ways"
It is an extraordinary tribute to
the virility of the d. emOcratic prin-
ciples that men like Babcock and
Chandler, lifelong Republicans,
both, should find themselves forced
to come over to the Democrats for
remedies against the growing ills Of
monopoly. The pity is that they dc
net dare change their party emblem
any more than McLaurin dares tC
change his.

The fable of the race between
the rabbit and the tortoise, in
which the former lost ignominiOusly,
teaches US that appearances are
sometimes deceptive. One mans
ambition may have outward strength
to set the world on fire, and yet
lack inward solidness to turn an hon.
est penny. On the other hand an
other may have the appearance of
absolute lack of ambition, and yet
there may burn within his breast a
fire that adversely cannot destroy,
or obstacles become too great for
him to surmount Only time-and
plenty Of it-reveals the real quail
ties of a man. Therefore, let us
not be deceived by appearances.

The Republican leaders generally
seem to have come to the conclusion
that no steps sh3ll be taken for some
time to come in the direction of re-
ducing the representation of the
South on account Of negro disfran-
chi5ement here. The platforms,
both State and national, will con
tinue to denoute this, but that will
be all. Efforts by the radicals who
insist on every action tending to
cripple the Sohth, will be confined
for some yearg; to pushing a case in
the Supreme Court designed to test
the constitutiopality of the so-called
grandfather clauses of several
Southern States, with the idea that
If these. are found unconstitutional
it will then be easier to secure legis.
lation from Congress. The Ala
bama Convention especially has
brought matters to a focus, the new
constitution of that State being
specially candid in it's efforts to es
tabhsh a color test. It will take
