Last Years Gold Output.

The value of the production of gold in the
United States in 1910 fell below that Of the
record output of 1902 which was nearly $780,
100000. Preliminary statistics compiled by the
director of the mint indicate that in 1910
the value OF the total production Of gold in the
United States (including Alaska and the insular
possessiOns) was $96055, 214 decrease of
%, o1o,l S6 from the value of the output in 1909
which was $99,6734O0
Notwithstanding this decrease which was
chargeable mainly to reduced production in
Alaska, Colorado, and South Dakota. the de-
crease in the two latter having been due to
merely temporary suspension Of production in
important camps and gold-mining industry was
on the whole and during most of the year pro
gresslVe and IN satisfactory condition. I'm
portant increases in production are indicated
for California, Nevada and Arizona and smaller
increases for New Mexico, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Utah, and Washington.
Decreased output Of gold is noted for Alaska
where the production from the Fairbanks and
Seward Peninsula gravels has finally begun to
decline; for Colorado, where operations in Grip
pie Creek mines until near the end of 1910 were
somewhat less active pending the completion of
deep drainage by the Roosevelt tunnel; for
South Dakota, where the great Homestake and
other mines and mills have made less than their
normal yield owing to labor difficulties in the
early part OF the year; and for Idaho, Montana
Oregon, and Virginia where the decrease in
output was less important. Other states show
minor variations and indeed the final figures
may change somewhat the distribution Of pro-
duction given by the earlier figures Reduced
production from Alaska foreshadoWs a probable
continued decrease for 1911, but this reduction
may be to considerable degree offset by pro-
duction from new placer fields in Alaska and

Pretty In Theory.

Woman suffrage, considered from an
academic and purely abstract standpoint, is a
charming theory. The idea of exaIting woman
to the same political plane as that occupied by
the Steiner sex, even we have already exalted
her IN social and business life, appeals to the
chivalry OF the average American In theory
it is beautiful
But with this, as with many other things
which in time are given practical test, we
have modified our views. We have seen equal
suffrage thoroughly tried out in four of the
states OF the Union and the result of the trial
mas not sustained the arguments Of the suf
traglsts. The result has been equally unsatis
factory whether the test given was complete
permitting women to vote the entire ticket at
every election, or whether it was partial as in
some states, where women are permitted to vote
at school elections only. The outcome has not
sustained the contentious of the suffrage people
lhere are two strong and incontrovertible
points In the indictment of equal suffrage One
is that women soon tire of the experiment and
after going to the polls once or twice give it
up as bad Job. The second point is that after
the good women have quit going to the polls
the vicious classes of the sex resort to ward
heellng and dirty politics, in comparison with
winch some OF Abe Ruefs star performances
seem the work of very tyro
No ground other than these two need be
urged against the extension of the suffrage to
our wives, sweethearts and daughters They
are enough, for concession to the sex which, as
it proves, rebounds to the advantage only Of her
more vicious sisters, can be no real gain to the
noble cause of womans elevation And if the
good women do not want it. it then becomes
mmaterial what the other kind wants
After all is said and done despite all the
hacEneyed and foolishly trite arguments in this
direction, womans true sphere is the home
circle. Whatever she gains in public life, and
in competition with man, she loses here-she
have regarded her when associated in our minds
with the ares and penates Of the hearth And
IT IS idle to argue or assume that does not
lose some of this respect for the sex when he
sees some of the best women Summing around
polling place on election day.
Ii any practical gain were to be made by
giving woman full suffrage it might be worth
while. But there is no gan-none whatever
and so we can see no necessity of a change in
our present constitutional limitations

posed vote of thanks to Key Pittman for

was trying to thank Mr.. Pittman for being only

were owing the Democratic members of the two
houses who honorably kept their word Mr.
Pittman could not have changed their vote if
he had wished therefore, we ask, why these
thanksg This action was almost in as poor
taste as Clay Tallman's apology for his vote
for Nixon. Since the people Of the state had
selected Mr.. Nixon for the senatorship there
occasion for Mr. Tallman to worry over
the matter. The people of Nevada are perfectly

CAPT. A. N. KNIGHT
Trial Grows Out Of Sinking
of Puritan in Recent
Ordnance Test.

The announcement that Capt Austin
NJ. knight, u. S. N. under whose su-
pcrviSiou was made the test of ordnance
which resulted in the sinking of the
monitor Puritan in Hampton Roads in
November, 1910, will be tried by court
martial, has been made by the Navy
Department. The personnel Of the court
has not been selected, it was stated at
the Navy Department today, nor have
the charges been formulated. Those
proceedings, it is probable, will be had
within n few DAYS.
The court-martial is subsequent TO the
findings of a court of inquiry appointed
bv Secretary Of the Navy Meyer soon
after the Puritan sank. The evidence
given to the court was to the effect that
each charge Of explosive gelatine eE-
pioded in the interior of the vessel had
made a hole in the Puritans armcr and
caused other damage. so that she sank
ShCrtlY after tie experiment. There was
question whether Captain Knight
ought to have taken the vessel to dry
dock at the risk of permitting her to
sink in deep water, or to have left her
as he did, in the shoal water or the
middle grounds. The answer to that
question will determine the case.

BLACK, WHO SAT ON
CAR TRACKS, INSANE
Asylum Physician Says That
Government Employe
Should Be Confined.

DR.. D. Percy Hickling, of the Dsyco-

this morning transmitted a report to
Judge Mullowny, of the United States
branch of the Police Court, in which
he said that Alexander c. Black. the
Government employe. who delayed traf-
fic on Pennsylvania avenue on the
morning Of February Il by sitting on
the street car tracks, is mentally ire
sponsible and should be confined.
Accordingly, the matter was referred
TO the sanitary office, who will attend
to having Black removed to the Gov
ernment Hospital for the Insane, for
treatment.
Black, when arraigned before Judge
Pugh in the District branch of the Po-
lice Court last Friday, refused to an
swer any questions. and scratched and
bit the policemen who tried to take him
from the room. He had to be han'!-
cufred and carried bodily to the prison
van by three policemen who guarded
him during the entire trip to the aSy-
Iurn, where he will remain until trans
ferred to the insane asylum.

WATER MACHINERY
Employe of House Annex Is
Held in Default of
$500 Bonds.

When arraigned before Judge Null
lowny in the Police Court this morning,
on a charge of having concealed soda
water fountain and carbonating ma
chine valued at $3.50, on which he had
made a few payments, Dabney Smith,
at present an employe in the House of
Representatives annex, entered a plea
of not guilty and demanded a jury trial.
He was held in default of $500 bonds
1t is claimed that Smith purchased
the fountain and carbonating machine
last September. giving notes for the re-
mainder of the money due. The plain
tiffs allege that Smith Jagged behind in
his payments and then claimed that he
did not know what had become of the
machine. Suit was entered in the civil
court to obtain possession of the prop
erty. Then a warrant was sworn out
in Police Court for Smith on a charge
of violation that section of the District
code referring to the transfer or hiding
o. goods partly paid for on the INSTALL
