For years Bat" Masterson has been the hero Of all the Would-be desparo- does in the country. How 1t must grieve them to think of the downfall of their idol Where was his famous gun. with it's twenty-rine notches. each representing booted addition te the Masterson private graveyard? .? How could he forego the opportunity to make the gun play" of his life tor the astonishment and edification Of the people of the metropolis? And the pub lie is not less grieved. Always, the he Toic Eat" has been pictured as Ky ronic daredevil, gentleman and valliin possessed of all the virtues of the his toric buccaneers, who in mildest man. ner scuttled ships and slit the thro2ts Of the misguided parties who had the temerity to be found with doubloons in the chests. Always, We have sup posed that if Masterson had lived in the old days. he would have been the prince of pirates. But living in the prosaic modern day, We have regarded him as an example of that ataVis1n which occasionally reveals to us le- version to the type represented by tfe refined, polished and gentlemanly kill CTS of oiden time-the Robin Hoods and Dick Turpins oi the highway, and the Captain kidds c? the sea.
 And who could think of Turpin, Hood or Kidd operating brace game of faro? They would take your money, 10 be sure, and gently usher you into the hereafter as matter of habit. but nothing would they do dishonorable. And Masterson? We can imagine aim with a pained and bored look upon his face removing an adversary with his trusty siX-shooter. and then directing that the remains of the late lamented be buried with honors at the expense Of the MastersOn bank account.

And to think that he could fall so low as to fleece a Mormon elder with the diabolical and dishonest faro layout,
 To Elder Snow we extend assurances Of consideration. Doubtless the good elder thought that of all the men in the world he could expect . square deal from the great MastersOn. It is to It hoped that when the case is tried ETr. Masterson will be able to show that the

 That the coming of peace in south Africa will be followed by a commer-
 cal expansion of vast pro AFRICA. portions. is everywhere
 taken for granted. But the importance which the Dark Continent has already achieved as factor in the business Of the world is not generally appreciated.
 \ monograph entitled .'Commerciai Africa, issued by the treasury depart ment, contains some interesting facts. as. for instance. that Africa occupies fourth place in the list of grand divi- power in relation to internationa com merce, the imports of the grand diVi- sions according to the latest availa ble figures being as follows: Europe $S.- 300 coo eco; North America, ST BOG, ,O00 091: Asia, S9OO. 0CG: Africa, s43O. .O00 GOO: South America, $375. 900 000, and Ocean, ica. s325, GeO.OGO Of this total of $11,- 630 GOO, ,OG0 the United States supplies , per cent in the case ol Africa. 10 per cent cf the imports of South America 10 per cent of those of Asia and Ocean, Europe and 40 per cent of the imports of North America exclusive of the United States. Railroad development in Africa has been rapid in the last few years and seems but the beginning of a great system which must contribute to the rapid development. civilization and enlightenment of the Dark Contin- ent. Including all of the railroads now constructed or under construction. the total length of African railways is nearly 12,500 miles, or half the distance around the earth. The Kimberley diamond mines, about 500 miles from Cape Town, now supply sS per cent Of the diamonds of commerce. although their existence was unknown prior to 1867, and the mines have thus been in operation but about thirty years. It it estimated that about $350, ,0G0, 000 worth of rough diamonds. worth double that sum after cutting. have been pro- duced from the Kimberley mines since their opening in 1SG3-69. and this encrm- GUS production would have been great ly increased but for the fact that the owners of the various mines there i formed an agreement to limit the cut put so as rot to materially exceed the worlds annual consumption. Equally wonderful and promising are the great "Witwatersrand" gold fields of South Africa, better known as the Johannes burg mines. Gold was discovered there in 1883. and in 1881 the value Of ! the gold product was about S5G.000. It 1 increased with startling rapidity. the product Of 1888 being about $5.OG0,0o that of 1Ss0. s1GOOG, eco: 1892. over $2O.- GO0,ooG: 1895. over s40.00O 000: and 1S97 and 1898, about $55.OOO, DOC Work in | these mines has been practically sus- 1 pended during the war in progress in 1 that section within the past two years. | The gold production Of the Rand since 1884 has been over $500 poo, G00.

GO TO THE ROOT.

The Charlottesville Progress agrees with
the Dispatch that it would be unwise poll
cy for the Democrats in Congress to
formulate q Ora site antitrust bill on the
theory that notwithstanding the majority
would not permittit to pass it would make
a good record dor our party, and exercise
u potential Influence in our favor in
1904. The Dispatch is altogether right, =
says the Progress. There isl it adds,
"but one remedy for the trusts, and that
is thorough revision. and vigorous re-
duction, of the Dingfey tariff. This S
what the trust barons really dread"
Without doubt And nothing would
please the trust interests more than for
the Democrats to adopt some policy whic!.
would. take the tariff revision issue out OF
the domain OF hustnlgs discussion there's
by diverting public attention from it, and
causing the masses to lose interest III
the question which must take precedence
of all others from now until 1904, if the
Democrats are to win, and the people are
TO be relieved from the trust burdens.
The record for the Democrats to make
is that of consistent, unremitting purpose
to. attack directly the root of:+the trust
evil; which is robber protection. and to tic
end Of attacking it successfully and ex-
tirpating it, they must never lose an
opportunity to expose to the people the
fostering relations Of DingleSism to tho
trusts.

THE RIDDICN CASE.

There are some careless readers who
heedlessly suppose that the prisoner Rid
Gicl. who killed Dr. Temple, has received
some special" cIemcncy. which will en-
able him to get his discharge from the
penitentiary before the term of sentence
is fulfilled Not so. His term is three
gears, but under the old and weIl-ap-
proved State Jaw, he is entitled to an
abatement OF four days in every month
when he is guilty of NO violation Of the
prison rules. Having been guilty of no
such infraction, he IS credited with ia
days.
That is a very different thing from a
conditional pardon. He might ave filed
his application for q conditional pardon
after he had been in prison less than a
year and a half, but he did not do so.
He waited the end of his term in due
course, and that will come on January
26. 1s0S-with ''good-conduct" time off
It$ the way, it is a singular thing about
our conditional pardon 1aw-but probably
never intended to he so-that it allows
the applicant the benefit of all good con-
duct time he could possibly have earned,
mad he stayed in prison until the last; then
tic residue of his sentence Is split in
half and at the expiration of one half,
thus reduced. the prisoner may apply
for a conditional pardon. And he is fairly
sure of receiving 1t. too. if his prison record
has been good and clcmency is recon-
attorney who tried him. But the ques-
ton is. can convict be entitled to an
abatement for good conduct in prison
wien he isn't in prison? We should
think not.

John Knox,s House.

1t is interesting to know that the ground
floor Of John Kuox's house in High street,
Isdi11burg has been transformed into a
quaint haunt of old books. 1t has been
in 1urn, a hair dresser's, public house,
ereengrocer's, restaurant, and tobacco
nist's. ..Ye house of John Knox which
is one OF the NEST picturesque of Edin-
hurgh relics, was standing in 1880. Sur
v1ving many vicissitudes, till 1859. it was
then rented to the Town Council of Edin-
burgh, for the ''lodging' Of John Knox,
when they called him to be minister of
St Giles in 1859. From the west window
he frequently preached, and here, in
November, 1872, he died.
