THE SUICIDE OF JAMES W. LNGARD.-
The announcement that J. W. Lingard, the
well known theatrical manager and actor, had
committed suicide created sad sensation
throughout the city yesterday. In theatrical
circles particularly the tragic end of this once
popular man was almost the only subject of
conversation. Deceased may have had his
faults, but those who knew him best speak Of
him as man Of generous impulses and free
nature. He was liberal to fault, and when
fortune smiled upon him his hand was ever
ready to share with others the favors it con-
ferred on him. Since the loss of his theatre
by fire, in 1866, Mr. Lingard has had to
struggle with adversely. This no doubt
preyed upon his mind, but it is to be feared
that other circumstances more grave impelled
him to the commission Of the act which has SO
hurriedly called him from the stage Of life.

Is 1T TEMPEST IN TEAPOT?-Some of
the dissatisfied republicans in Allegheny coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, have just held convention
in which the formation of third party, or the
publication of the old one, under the moral
reform and anti-corruption lodges, was advo-
Gated. Nominations for Congress were an
nounced and an effort made to wriggle General
Negley, present incumbent from the Twenty
second (Pittsburg) district, into the movement
The General, feeling secure Of the regular
nomination aud probable reelection, would
not allow his name to be used; and other
prominent republicans adopted the same
course. Allegheny is considered the Gibral-
tai of Pennsylvania republicanism, and among
the stsnchest in her loyalty to the princi-
ples-the loaves and the fishes included-of
the party. AS far as the present disruption is
concerned il seems nothing more than very
gentle tempest in very little teapot. And
yet such strong and influential republican pa
pers as the PittsbMrg Commercial endorse the
new movements Hnd fly the nominations at the
head Of their columns. AS the Snowman says,
'sWc shall see what we shall see"

Tho Spanish Throne -Franos and Prussia.
Judging from our latest dispatches from
Europe the Spanish throne question still gives
trouble. 1t Is deeply significant fact that
the rentes touched the lowest point that has
been reached In many years. This shows that
France feels keenly. There is no longer any
mystery about the situation. The Prince Leo
pold has consented to be q candidate for the
vacant throne The Spanish government has
80 notified France aud all the great Powers.
France still talks loudly and wildly against the
new man. The French government is in active
telegraphic correspondence with all the govern
ments of Europe. The result is as yet imper-
fectly known to us. The governments express
sympathy but what the sympathy means we
do not know. Prussia, 1t seems, has answered
the note Of the French government. The
answer, 1t is said has been evasive. If 1t be
true that Prussia has said that she will stand
by the Prince Leopold If the Cortes elect him,
and that until the Cortes meet she has nothing
more to say, 1t must be admitted that she has
acted with consideration and becoming dignity
in the premises. A fuller answer is expected
from Prussia. Much depends on what Prussia
may say. It Is possible, however, that this
tempest which brews 80 wildly will not burst
until the Cortes meet. II the Cortes do not
elect the Hohenzollern Prince matters will
remain as they were, and general European
war will be put off for an indefinite period.

JOHN CHINAMAN AND THE SPANISH CUES
TIoN.-John Chinaman has experienced a
decided sensation in Paris. He has been
actually frightened and slightly in danger.
The Parisians were deeply excited over the
news Of the massacre of their countrymen in
Pekin, and John became decidedly unpopular.
John did not run the gauntlet of the public
gaze, however, but remained quietly within
doors. He waited; perhaps prayed. How
long he would have had to keep 80 was very
doubtful, when up springs the Spanish throne
question, and poor John, to his immense
relief, was forgotten. The ''checks and bal
ances" system of nations Is very curious.

PAPAL AVAILABILITY AND THE PoPE. -
Judging by our kilograms from Rome, pub
lished this morning, Pope Plus the Ninth will
proclaim the dogma of infalliblity at an early
day. Next Sunday week, the 18th Of July,
is named indeed as the moment for the cere-

taken in the light of the Roman Catholic
Church, in the eyes Of Christendom. St.
Peters chair will be used on the occasion and
the religious services be wound up with salvos

SILVER FROM CANADA. The New Dominion
on our northern frontier, in addition to the
many other grievances that have vexed her
yonng life ever since she became Confedera-
ton, has been suffering for long time from a
dropsical tendency to too much silver. She
has, in fact, had SO much silver about her
house that she is now at work to get rid Of it
at loss, and since March last has succeeded
in buying up six million dollars worth Of Anne
rican silver at eight per cent discount, and ship
ping II to the United States. An agent OF the
government is now busy buying 1t up at six per
cent discount and at this rate the influx of our
much desired silver pieces may be greatly in
creased. We look to our brokers and mer-
chants, therefore, to put this returning silver
on the market, circulate it, give it q healthy
ventilation, and let the mass Of us enjoy once
more the musical chink in our pocket which
seems to have become such unharmonious dis
cord in Canada's.

CARRYING TIE JOKE LITTLE Too FAR
The letter recently published in the HERALD
from J. w. Smith, the colored cadet at West
Point, touching the personal insults "heaped
upon him" by the white cadets of that institu-
ton, is creating more noise than we suppose
they bargained for. White prejudice against
the African may be excused; but if Smiths
report of it's manifestations at West Point is
true the guilty parties have made poor be-
ginning in their studies to become professional
soldiers.

For the past few years attention has been
called at various times to the claims Of Ameri-
can citizens against the republic of Venezuela
According to commission which was organ
lied in 1868, and which held its session in
Caracas during the summer Of that year, the
amount claimed by American citizens amounted
to "a, 1913, 273 81. OF these but 81, 253, $40 80
were allowed-$749. l22 resting on the award
of the umpire. Upwards of three and half
millions of dollars claimed were disallowed. In
the memorial which has just been presented
to Congress from the claimants II Is shown
that the claims, which date back as far as the
year 1911, arise from many causes. Some are
for war supplies furnished Venezuela in its
struggle for Independence some for acts Of
forcible appropriation Of property, and others
for acts of outrage and murder perpetrated on
citizens of this country. There are others,
but these will suffice to show the nature of the
claims. After the adjudication of the demands
by the mixed commission, and the time agreed
upon for the payment settled apparently to the
satisfaction of all concerned, it was thought
that we had heard the last of the Venezuelan
claims, and that the Central American republic
would discharge its debts. Events have
proved otherwise. Two lnstalments of prin-
cipal and three of interest upon the awards
fixed by the commission have matured but
the Venezuelan government manifests not the
slightest anxiety about the matter. 1t does
not seem to give itself the smallest particle of
uneasiness. 1t ignores the affair altogether. So
the matter rests so far as the venez 1elans are
concerned Now while these lovers of liberty,
truth, justice and republicauism have practi-
cally repudiated their indebtedness to the citi-
zens of friendly nation, 1t Is about time that
the American government should apprlse them
of the fact that their seeming forgetfulness will
not be overlooked, and that American citizens
will have to be Unidentified for their losses.
The citizens of q nation that can afford to 60
to war every three or six months, upset the
government, sack towns, close ports, destroy
corn fields, burn valuable forests and slaugh-
ter, rob and pillage unfortunately, can afford
to pay Its just debts, and the venezuelans
should be given to understand that these claims
of American citizens must be paid peaceably
If possible, forcibly If necessary.

Claim TO Eixhiy-Two Millions Property in
New York.
We learn from Georgia papers that two
claimants to property located in this city and
estimated to be worth the snug little sum Of
eighty-two millions of dollars have turned up
in some obscure Georgia village, and that able
counsel have been engaged to press the claim
against the present occupants of the premises
This property is said to be located at the cor
ner Of Broadway and Canal street, and to have
been held only under hundred years lease,
which has recently expired. ''If our memory
serves us"-to 60 no further back-the locality
referred to was hundred years ago, dismal
swamp, nursery for mosquitoes mud turtles
and pollywogs, which nobody but an idiot
would have thought of leasing for any purpose
whatever except for an aquarium or floating
bath. Therefore ii the present heirs prove
their identity they viii also prove themselves
to be descendants from race of idiots, and
their claims must be thrown out Of court ON
the grounds of insanity. In the meantime we
would not advise the present tenants, the
Brandreth House being included in the estate
mentioned, to ''move out" until more is heard
from the counsel of these Georgia heirs.
