i've victory. He will be worthy
successor of the gallant Fitz Lee.
Speaking of ex-Solicitor General
Phillips, formerly of North Carroll
ma, and his recent appointment the
Baltimore San says: "He (the
Presidency put an end to further
speculation as to the probability of
ex-Solicitor General Phillips, of
North Carolina, being appointed
member of the Supreme Court or
interstate commerce commission by
selecting him as commissioner on the
part of the United States under the
Venezuelan and United States treaty
concerning the adjustment of claims.
Mr.. Phillips is we'll known in this
city, where he practically makes his
home, and he has the reputation of
being one of the soundest constitu-
tional lawyers at the bar of the
United States Supreme Court. AS
solicitor general, his briefs were gen.
orally regarded as models for cons
prehensiveness, terseness and brief
ness. His arguments were conduct
ed on the same principles, and con-
sequently he always commanded the
attention of the court, quite an I'M
usual occurrence, SO far as govern
ment counsel in that count is con-
cerned.
1t is remarkable how quick for
eigners "catch on" to the American
way of doing things. The French
cook who was recently discharged
from the White House, and who
for several days had the papers full
of an intended suit to be brought
against the President for breach of
contract, now says that she never
had any idea of bringing any such
suit, but as she and her husband are
about to open boarding house in
this city she thought it would be a
good idea to get some free advertise
ing in the newspapers. She believed
it would pay. Smart woman.

We are sincerely glad to know
that Hon. Jas. w. Reid is succeed
ing in Idaho. A letter received in
Wilmington from a gentleman in
Idaho, delegate to the constitution
al convention at Boise City, which
concluded its work on the 18th
instant, states that Mr.. Reid made
splendid record for himself as the
leader of the Democracy in the con-
vention, and that he stands a fine
chance of being elected to the United
States Senate in the event the Dem
ocrats have majority in the new
State Legislature.
The Medical Gazette says: The
following letter was received by a
physician from a man whom he
knew, practicing medicine, and de-
string counsel-"dear Dock. I have
a pashunt who's phsical sines shows
that the windpipe has liberated off |
and his lungs have drop down into
his stumick havegiven hymn every |
thin without efeckt her father is
welthy honable and infuenshal as
he is member of assembly and god
nose don't want to loos hymn what

frat"
And now they have invented or
manufactured a smokeless, noiseless
powder. A cable dispatch from
Berlin says: All accounts of ex-
periments with smokeless powder at
the sham fight, concur in saying
that no smoke was visible at dis
lance of 800 yards, and that no
sound was heard beyond slight
tapping. A strange effect was pro-
duced by the spectacle of a large
mass of troops in firing position,
seemingly inactive, but really pour
ing forth the deadly fire.

There is no need to appeal to the
public to purchase of advertisers,
for the people do that very thing
and in spite of all other
influences, observes the Charlotte
Chronicle. The advertiser, the real,
live, business basis adver-
tiser, gets there every time. God
helps the man who helps himself;
and the advertiser has front seat
in that category.
