The Gold crop.

According to the best estimates at
hand, the gold crop of the world for
the year 1910 was $454. 1000, 900, which
is equal to that Of 1909. The output
of the latter year was the greatest in
the history of the world. OF the
gold produced. more than two
thirds is either coined or piled away In
vaults for coinage purposes. Thus we
are adding billion dollars in every
three-year period to the worlds stock
of gold coin. There is one Of the
reasons why Iowa land Is not going to
decrease In price
In this connection 1t Is Interesting
to note that Thomas Edison has adopt
ed the views of some of the leading
English scientists, who hold that mat
or Is one. and that the transmution Of
metals and minerals is by no means
impossible and may be effected al
most any day. Edison pictures great
corporations redeeming their obliga-
lions, which were made payable In
gold, with stuff that can be turned
out at the rate Of about s25 per ton.
Either way, there will be vast prob
ems left for coming generations. and
here will be hard nuts for the wisest
u the wise to try their teeth upon.

:, stern Advice.


William Dean Howells. at one of the
A'Immortals' recent receptions in
New York. told good story about a
critic 81.
ITO this critic" he said. "a popular
novelist brought his first novel in
manuscripts manuscript of about
100000 words. The critic duly read
It. then he gave the author this ad-
vice:
"'Cut out half.
THE young man accepted the ad-
vice. He cut out all the weak and
dull portions. and it seemed to him
that the story was improved wonder
fully thereby. He sent 1t in its new
form to the critic, who then gave him
this second piece Of advice:
Cut out the other hail."

Governor Dix and
Democratic Success.

Little is being said of Governor Dix
as possible candidate for the Demo
cratic standard bearer, and in all
probability he will not be the chosen
leader, but when a careful considera-
ton Of the facts is made it will show
that with Governor Dix rests to a
large extent the success OF the party
next year.
With the new apportionment New
York will have almost double the
number of votes of Ohio in the cleo
: toral college, and, as a matter Of fact
: New York will cast almost one tenth
of the electoral vote. Thus 1t may be
seen that with the solid south and
New York, the Democrats could win.
1t is possible for either party tC
; win without New York, but the chance
is slim one, and, as in the past, New
York must be the lighting ground, and
II there ever was a chance for the
Democratic leaders to get together and
