Demerara News.
From the ArgOSy,

Appropos of the suspected intention of
our Venezuelan neighbours to again raise
the rather veXed ~''boundary question" as
evidenced in The secret mission of Dr.SeijaS
referred TO III our last issue, itmay be worth
reminding those interested in the British as.
pect of the case that clear evidence is ac-
cessible OF the Barima district having been
under the control of a colonial officer, forty
seven years ago. We alIude to the regime
of the late Mr.. w. c. McClintock, officially
described as "POSthOlder aud Superinten-
dent, Rio POmeroon," and his actions in
1913, somewhat special significance at
tachlng to that period in as much as it was
only a year or two after the dTlimitati0n
of the frontier by Schomburgk. 1t is quite
true Venezuela tumed considerably aneut
the work OF the explorer in this respect,
and carried out her protest so far as to re.
move the ScEOmburgk pAals. But all the
same our POmerOOn pOSlhOIder exercised
jurisdiction quite up to the Barima, or as
Mr.. McClint0ck spelt it "Bareema". In u
report sent in by him to the Governor and
the Court of Policy 'tor the quarter ending
September, 1S43," be records his return
from the Bareem a CATER having arranged
several disputes among certain NARROW
Indians in the ABOVE named river; and ex-
IlGoStS CuC SlCdC diAlVtJ plCN dlCHC dlHOhS
the "Akaway' Indians of the Bareema
Creek and Rio Winey for the appointment
of a school teacher. He mentions also the
settlement OH "the shell bank at the mouth
of the river Wyney," of Mr.. John Sutton
and family, late of the POmeroon, and re-
ports Il number Of instances of duties hav-
ing been exacted from traders from the
Orinoco, one in particular where the
payee was, "Jose Rodeize, POstholder of
Corioppo, a village in Rio Orinoco." We
thus find on the one hand, a Vellezueian
official submitting without any demur to
the payment Of Customs dues in the very
heart of the territory covered by the pre-
sent prepoSterous claims of the Republic;
and on the other, from the Pomeroon to
the Barima full and complete authority,
welded by an accredited seryanC of the
colony. We feel confident that if the quar-
terIy reports of this officer are still extant
and are carefully examined, abundance of
evidence to the same effect will be elected,
If Venezuela is we'll advised, she will drop
her frontier "bogey."

BISHOP SPAULD1NG makes a big
mistake in claiming higher intel

Woman is mans better part and is
his superior in everything else. But
as man was endowed by nature as
the strongest physically, a more
vigorous and powerful mentality is
natural corcomitant. Weak minds
and strong bodies do not go well
together, although some of the most
powerful intellects have been found
in the frailest bodies.
