The good feeling existing between Venezuela
and the United States will be intensified by the
events of the last month. At public meeting
held in Caracas on July "a, in honor Of the
memory of Bolivar, the Venezuelan hero, Rear
Admiral Cooper and other officers of the
North Atlantic Squadron took prominent part
in the proceedings. In view Of the fact that q
statue of General Washington was to be set
ND in the public square of Caracas on July 81
as token of the Venezuelan Governments re-
gard for this Republic, Admiral Cooper's action
was graceful and appropriate.
The labor question is being well discussed in
the city at the present time. The Senate Com
mittee is patiently listening to variety of
views on the subject, while Congress of Fed
Grated Trade and Labor organizations has been
in session for three days. Ike telegraph
operators and other strikes here have
also given the question unusual promI-
ncace. Those who profess TO represent
the workingnlen express such widely different
views as to what ought or ought not 10 be
done to improve their condition, that it cannot
be said that any new light has been thrown
upon the subject The only point on which
there seems to be general agreement is that
Of the advantage of creating a National

LETTERS TO THE EDIToR.I
A GAS coNsUMER's DIARY.
10 he Editor.


Saturday evening Oct 9, 4:30 o'clock. Lit
the gas in my library because the clouds and
storm had brought on twilight earlier than
usual. 1t burned up brightly with its seven-
teen-candle illuminating power. was happy
in the prospect of y comfortable season for
reading the evening paper, and entered upon
that agreeable service in high satisfaction,
believing that the gas company had entered
upon an era of reform.
Five o'clock. Tho summons for dinner is
sounded, and drop the paper, turn down the
gas in the drop light, and repair to the dining
room, which was bathed in the effulgence of
seventeen candle illuminating power. 1t
was luxury to dine in such blaze of glory.
Half-past five. The glory of the scene be-
gins to grow dim, and as the dessert comes
single tallow dip would have outshone tho
light of the gas burned. We CROPPED through
the closing moments of the repast in gloom
under the conviction that gas companies are
mighty uncertain factors.
Six o'clock. Adjourned to tho library to
finish up the reading of the news of the even
ing. Turned up the light, but it failed to re-
spond. 1t was twilight out of doors, and on
the library table in about equal proportions.
| The gas failed to flow, and it was
demonstrated that gas fixtures will not shed
light without proper flow of that
| agent of illumination. To record is impos-
sible, and to attempt to write is vexation.
Home is made desolate by the lack of light.
The Greenlander is to be envied even
during the long nights that hover upon the
icy mountains of that region, for he has his
oil and wick, which never fail him. 1 have
gas burners, but no gas in contract quanti-
ties to provide the illuminating power of one
good honest tallow dip. / exclaim "How
long, Oh! gas company, will you abuse the
patience of this people?" And then yield all
the fattering hopes inspired at early candle
| lighting" in despair.
Seven o'clock. Same as before; gloom hangs
over my writing table; no reading; no writ
ing. Go out to see a man, and ascertain if
am the only SUFFERER.

SOLDIERS AND DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE.

In one of the departments in this city there
is a clerk from southern state, who when at
home, is rebel democrat of the most pro-
nounced type. This gentleman has been
drawing 81 200 salary for several years.
In the same county from which this clerk
is appointed there is an ex-federal soldier,
who suffered the horrors of Andersonville
prison. This man is a brave, loyal republi-
can, and is far superior every way to his
bourbon neighbor Of the 81 1900 salary. Yet
this man, although he has long been an ap-
plicant for position in the civil service,
must stand aside in favor of his rebel and
bourbon neighbor Do you think the reverse
of this case would be likely to exist under
democratic administration? SOUTHERN.
