John n. Padon Dead.

Although it had been known for
some time that John Padon was af-
Gicted with Bright's disease, and his
recovery very doubtful, none were
prepared for the announcement OF
his death on Monday evening. His
life terminated in uremic convul-
sions, Il common result of the disease
with which he was afflicted.
Deceased was mechanic of rare
skill, and when able to work com
manded lucrative employment, but
for some years has been unable to
labor hard. The widow and her five
little children thus bereft of their
natural support have the sympathy
of every mother and father in the
community. Death in any family is
a terrible visitor, but when his call
leaves widow and group of help
less children to front the world, he
is especially cruel.

The Production of Gold and Silver.

The United States led the world in gold production last year, according to the figures presented by Director of the Mint Roberts in his report on the pro- duction of the precious metals for the calendar year 1901 The total amount of gold produced during the year was valued at S263, ,3747 700 and the oroduc- tion of silver was valued at s104,999, 1OO The value of the gold product of the United States was S7S,666, 700; of silver, $33, ,12S, 400. The entire world produced 12.740.7 TAG fine ounces of gold, and 174,- 99S,573 fine ounces of silver. The coin age value of the latter was s226, ,269, ITO, or more than double its commercial value. Next to the United States, Aus tralasia produced the most gold. it's total being 6,S8O, 200 Canada was third in the list, with a value of SEA- 12S,500, and Russia fourth with $22,- S50,990. The only other country with a total in excess of S10, 900, GOO was Mex ico with a total of s1O,2S4, 800. Among the silver producing countries Mexico led with product having a commer- cial value of 4,5S3, 300. The United States was not far behind with value of $33,12S, 400. Australasia was third at a long interval, it's production amount ing to S7,s29,500 and after it followed in order, Bolivia. Chile, Peru, Germany and Canada

'Leslie's Weekly" remarks the Provi- dence Journal, like several other pub
 ications beyond the borders of New England, has printed the photograph of the now famous seven old men of Ashaway, Rhode Island, who were pictured in the Journal several months ago. At the time the picture was taken their ages amounted in the total to six hundred and ten years and nine months and averaged eighty-seven years and three months. In comment ing upon the strange fact that there should be so many old men in the small villag of Ashaway the Weekly said: This suggest the thought that if Ponce de Leon were still alive he would make his search for the fountain of life in Rhode Island instead of directing it toward the fabled 'El Dorado" A commission has recently selected a site for the proposed sanatorium for con- sumptives, and SO carefully has the selection been mace that 1t is thought eN bN thN Nci y DcSl pOSSlDle. NOW IT only healthfulness of surroundings and excellence of management will together allow the promised institu- tion to make the disease it is to treat less of a scourge than it is now, Rhode Island will be content to leave the question of eternal youth to the romantic past or to the remote future"

Right Way to Deal With Them.

In the city of Providence. Rhode Island. the police authorities have just set good example of how to deal with anarchists.
 For some days handbills had been dis tributed through the city announcing that Emma Goldman, a notorious mem- Der of the anarchist brotherhood. would give a lecture in a certain hall The subject was "The Russian Revolution ary Situation" but then, any other title would have been as fitting for the ha- rangue which the Goldman woman in- tended to deliver
 At the appointed time some two hun dred anarchists and sympathizers were assembled in the hall. The chief of po- lice, with some of his subordinates. was also there. When Goldman appeared she was told that she would not be per mitted to speak. She made no attempt to defy the authorities Then the as- sembled anarchists attempted to hold 2 meeting without her Again the chief interposed his prohibition and the an archists dispersed.
 on the next morning Goldman left city, having been kept under close sur veillance in the meantime. Chief Mat thews says that anarchists will not he permitted to hold meetings in Provi- dence. The rabble that is affected by this order is ranting about "outrage" and restriction of the freedom of speech" but the chiefs order stands and of course has the approval of all law-abiding citizens. Anarchists should have no rights in this country. either under the constitution or under statutes

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. NOV. 20. 1902.
A Busy Nation.

The most remarkable condition exists +oaay in the matter of the shipment of freight by railroad. The pressure is reported to be so strong everywhere that the railroad managers do not know how to meet the demands made upon them. Instead of being an aid to business in a financial sense it is detriment, and the problem has to be worked out in some fashion. In spite of the increase in the railway mileage, by the duplicating of tracks the de- mands for cars and engines continues and it is now a serious matter with the more important railroad companies how to obtain sufficient rolling stock to accommodate the calls for the move ment of freight.
 It is wonderful what is being done by the railroads that have from two to four tracks at their disposal but it is marvellous what is accomplished by the great single track railroads in the west that cover the territory of thousands of miles, These roads that have to put in use almost endless sidings are being forced to their utmost, and the time Is certainly coming when a single-track road will be almost unknown. But the railroad business is indicative of the general condition of business through out the country, and the moving of thousands of loaded freight cars every day and in every imaginable direction proves that the demand for products of every description keeps up.
 In the industrial world there appears to be a condition of solidity and an ac- tuaI pressure Tor more products. The building of new electric railway lines. the construction of giant buildings with steel frames, the placing of tremendous bridges, the astonishing improvements made by the steam railroad companies, the municipal work being done in the east and elsewhere; and the excessive call for more iron and steel work has given the country an impetus that must carry it along prosperously for years.
 The condition of the money and stock market is occasionally disturbed and generally without reason. The financial fiutters now and then are not the legiti- mate outcome of any real financial difficulties, but rather because of cer- tain groups of men seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of others. There is nothing as timid as one thous- and dollars except it may be one million dollars. The small holder of money or stocks is the first to get frightened, but when there are enough of them scared at the same time there is danger. Just at this time-and under existing condi- tions-it is perfectly senseless to think of a justifiable panic. The acknowl- edged leaders of financial affairs are not at all disposed to precipitate a- panic. They have learned that strength is necessary, and that 1t is far more profitable in the end to boI- ster the markets than to depress them. But the mills and factories are busy and the railroads are being worked to their utmost capacity. And all this means that business conditions are good. The United States is indeed busy nation.

By way of Investigating the indus trial condition of the negro in the southern states, The Chattanooga Tradesman' has recently sent circu- lar letter to all the manufa cturers of the south, asking how many negroes they employ. how many of them are skilled or semi-skilled, what kind of skilled work they do. what wages they receive, how they compare in efficiency with the white workmen. how much the employers intend to continue to employ skilled negro workmen. About five hundred replies were received, not all pointing to the same conclusions nor anything like it. but from them The Tradesman" reaches tn conclus- ion that in some industries. among them the cottonseed oil and lumber mills. the foundries. kilns, mines and white or any other kind of labor, while in the occupations requiring more skill they are inferior. They are most val uable as experienced assistants, and in this respect are practically indispen- sable. As brick makers, carpenters, blacksmiths, firemen and engineers, many of them become fairly expert, but in the textile industries. fine cabi- net work. watchmaking, nice tool and macshine constructing, and in the pro fessions, the number who have distin- guished themselves is too small to be appreciable as effecting the possibili- ties of the race.

To republicans outside of Colorado it would seem that some of the leaders of the party in the Centennial state are governed in their actions more by jealousy of former Senator Wolcott than by zeal for republicanism. When in terested politicians succeeded in calling off the proposed republican jollification at Denver because they feared it might develop into ''Wolcott meeting" they demonstrated their entire fitness for the peanut trade. Edward O. Wolcott is the greatest republican Colorado has and he is one of the big men of the nation.

France, Germany and the United
 States stood next in order as importers of gold. The United States stood next to the United Kingdom as an exporter of gold; Russia, France. Canada and
 British India following after in order. of the world as an importer and ex- porter of silver; India and the United States were next in order as importers of silver, with France, the Straits Set dement's and the Federated Malay States following in rank. though at q considerable distance.
 The industrial consumption of the precious metals is estimated by Di- rector Roberts at $SO.OOO. GOO in round numbers for gold and $57 OOO,OO for sil- yer. Mir. Roberts has made an csti- mate of the increases in the gold stocks of the principal countries, which is of much interest. This estimate is made after allowing for industrial consump- tion, and it covers the calendar year 1901. According to the statistics given, the United States leads with an in crease of $63, SOC, ,OOO: Germany comes next with gain of $41. 700 900. France third with an increase of $40, ,4OO. .OOO, Austria Hungary fourth with a gain of $27. .600. 900 and Great Britain fifth with a gain Of s17 .OOO. .OOO After these come in order India with $5, 800. 900. the Meth erlands with $500, 900, Italy and Switz- erland with $3,5OO,OOO each, Portugal with S2.3OO00O. Belgium with S1, 800, 900. Sweden and Roumania with S1. 800, GOO each and Japan with s1.7O0,O 900. Com bining these estimates. we get a total of $21S, 40O.00 increase in gold for the calendar year. It will not escape the attention of the careful reader that the allowance for industrial consump- tion, added to the figures of increase give total in excess of that set down for total production. How this result is arrived at is not set forth, but the discrepancy is deserving of explanation if the figures given are to be accepted

Los Angeles continues to lead all other cities in the country in the per centage of increase in postal receipts For the last fiscal year the receipts were more than 5o per cent larger than the receipts of the year before. The postal business of a city affords good index as to the prosperity of the com munity. and there can be no doubt that Los Angeles is growing at a remark able rate. It is especially interesting to the people of the Salt River valley to note this growth, for the time Is near at hand when Phoenix will begin to overtake Los Angeles with rapid strides.
 The next thing of interest politically in California will be the senatorial election. Reports indicates that Senator Perkins stands a good show to succeed himself, but there are a number of receptive candidates. It is quite possible that Irving M. Scott. the famous shipbuilder. may enter the race as an active aspir- ant.

The Pan-American Conference.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Peppers letter to The
Star, printed today, summarizing the work
of the Pan-American conference at Mexico
to which he was a delegate, affords an in
structipe bird's-eye view of. that assem-
blage and its results. Mr.. Pepper writes
enthusiastically of the future fruits Of the
conference, believing that the meeting
caused the delegates from the various
American countries to grow into closer re-
lations and better understanding which
cannot fail eventually to make for good in
the welfare of the continents. He holds
that the next conference. to be held in a
few years, will show that this one just
closed has been productive of tangible re-
suits along the line of the arbitration of
governmental differences in the three
Americas and Of the general promotion Of
Pan-Americanism.

Another Touch of HOmestead3

1t is trick of history sometimes to re-
peat itself. Shall we witness a repetition
this year of the blindness which sent the
republican party to smashing defeat in
1892?
When the labor situation took acute
turn at Homestead in that year, the wtsest
of the republican leaders, seeming danger,
were anxious for the great iron and steel
interests to make terms with their men.
Those interests were proSpering as the re-
suit of republican policies. national cleo
ton was approaching. The country gener-
ally was in good shape, with a strong man
In the White House The interests ap-
pealed to stood as stubborn as a mule.
They refused to give an inch. riot re-
suited: blood was shed; labor circles every
where took fire with indignation, and the
democracy swept the country. The repub
lican leaders were furious. They denounced
the iron and steel men, and General Gros-
venor. then in Congress, and now a MEM
Der Of the ways and means committee, paid
his compliments to Andrew Carnegie in a
most picturesque Characterization.
The iron and steel interests are again to
the fore. They are dominating the re-
sistance to reciprocity and the few tariff
reductions that are demanded. They are
greatly prospering as the result of repub
lican policies. Their combinations, for the
amount of capital involved and for the
magnitude of their operations, are one of
the wonders of the day. The country gen.
orally is in good shape, and there is
strong man in the White House. He urges
reciprocity, not only with Cuba, but with
other countries Shall his advice be re-
jected? Shall the giant protected interests,
which can so well afford to yield some
thing at this time-iron and steel a little.
sugar little, and other industries a little
stand as stubborn as mules and yield moth
Ing? If so, shall we have, as the conse-
quence. another taste of such bitterness
al doubled up the country with the return
OF Mr.. Cleveland to the White House?
1t may be said that the people, even I'M
der the most exasperating conditions, can
be relied upon not to repeat that perform
ance; that they will be willing to bear the
greatest of the trust ills rather than fly
again to those of a political combination
shouting reform but aiming principally at
the offices. Better not lean upon that reed.
The thing to do is for the party in full
power, with everything lovely and the goose
hanging high. to correct fragrant and con-
fessed abuses and appeal to the country
on the strength of good record courage
ously made.
