which seem anxious that this
country shall have a wal with Chill.
These outgivings are reassuring, and
vet the fact remains that, SO far as the
public know, our government has re-
ceived no word from the government of
Chill to change the situation from that
which prevailed when the president sent
his message to congress, unless it be the
~undiplomatic communication of the Chill
ian minister of foreign affairs to the lega-
tions of that country, of which this gov
eminent has not thus far been called upon
to take any notice. The new president
of Chilli will be ~inaugurated this week,
and it is expected will form a new cahi-
net. He is understood to feel very friendly
toward the United States, and very likely
it is this fact that induces the authorities
at Washington to view the outlook as
more favorable for a peaceable and early
settlement of the complication.

An Untaught Diplomat.

That is why it annoys me SO to have you
ask your Uncle John, whenever he
comes, if he has brought you candy.
Remember, ROW, you must never do it

But it's my candy-he says so-and
he wants me to have it,"
''Then he will certainly give it to you,

Nick made the promise with a very

This is the way he kept it. When Uucle

II KELLEY CURE.

Much has been said against the KELLEY
| cure here Of late.
Of course this was to have been ex-
pected, and consequently no one is disap-
pointed.
THE GLOBE figures it out that If a man
be cured or restrained or whatever else
you call it, in the matter of his consuming
passion for rum, no matter how it is done.
Ifyou press the button and Dr.. KELLEY
| does the rest, it should not interest science
as to the manner or method of the treat.
ment.
Science is wrong in this particular.
In fact, science is still crawling--it will
be years before it can walk.
Science, so called, makes too many de-
mands. If a man has his picture taken it
is not necessary for the artist to explain
how he does it. 1t is only the artists
business
Science has asked KELLEY to tell how.
Well, if KELLEY were running a Kinder
garten and teaching the art Of curing
%drunkards, then the patient and the
world and science could demand hat he
teach the rudiments or the elementary
principles.
But KELLEY is only curing people and
does not claim to explain how he does it.
Yet it is a great and credulous world.
Men will go to a medium-tO the
D~AvENPORTs or the MOTTs-and they
claim with great gusto to converse with
spirits beyond the material world and the
people believe.
If they really think that they have con-
versed-why not let them rest happy in
that belief?
Why rob them of what to them has
been happiness and a pleasure?
Men who condemn BOB INGERsoL for
tearing out by the very roots the chris
tian's hope and the christians faith and
belief in a supreme GOD beyond this
strife, condemn KELLEY because he will
not impart his secret which absolutely
cures drunkards and brings back hap
piness where the pail of sorrow was
brings back hope where before despair
and anguish lived.
Why not say that the christians faith
was a humbug and that no man or wo-
mar would ever see heaven.
If those who profess their faith believe
in it-why break down their wall Of
hope?
If those who 60 to KELLEY believe they
are free-free from the thraldOm Of de
bauchery and dissipation-why should
any man be base enough to prove that
their hope was groundless that, they had
chased a phantom and that the science
of medicine would admit Of no such tom
foOlery.
Admitting even that KELLEY has the
faith cure alone
Well, why not let the unfortunate have
new faith, even if it is injected into
their souls through the arm.
THE GLOBE believes in the KELLEY
cure.

Wealthy Men and Directors Fees.


The money making people of Wall
street were startled a few days ago by a
report that Russell Sage had gone away
from a directors meeting without col
lecting his fee of five dollars. Investiga-
ton proved the ru-nor to be unfounded.
"Uncle Russell" is q director in about
twenty corporations, and he never misses
a directors meeting if he can help it.
The usual custom is to pay each director
that attends a meeting five dollars. Ere
quently the money is handed to the di-
rectors in the form of a gold piece as they
enter the meeting room. At other times
the directors get their money just before
is summoned to three or four directors
meetings. If he happens to be J. Pier
pont Morgan he will attend the meeting
of the greatest Importance. If he hap
pens to be Russell Sage he will attend
them all.
Mr.. Sage does not believe in neglecting
any of his official duties, and he considers
the collection of his five dollar fee as part
Of his official duty. Mr.. Morgan occa-
siopally accepts the fee when it is handed
to him and passes it over to a clerk or to
the porter Of the building If he chances
to be nea Mr.. Jay Gould pays no at
tention whatever to the customary di-
r~ector's fee. The modest cashier who
tenders him a paltry five dollars does not
even receive the courtesy Of a glance

A MORE PEACEFUL ASPECT.

Two reports come from Washington
which give a more peaceful aspect to the
complication with Chilli. One Of these
states that SECRETARY BLAINE had as
sured the CHILEAN minister at Washing
ton that after a complete investigation
of all the matters in dispute between the
two countries he was confident that an
amicable conclusion could be arrived at.
The other gives an interview with SEC
RETARY TRACY, in which he expressed
the opinion that the difficulty will be set
tied very soon. The secretary was in
credulous regarding the report that a
mob had threatened the house of MINIS
TER EGAN, saying that if any official in
formation Of the kind had reached Wash
lngton he would have been notified, and
he took occasion to mildly rebuke those

"BuSted.O Not Broken.

Doubtless our unlettered friends have
fine distinctions in the use of words, for
which we do not give them sufficient
credit. A new pupil in a colored school
took a shattered lamp chimney to show
her teacher.
"Ah" said he, "your chimney is
broken, is it,"
No, sir" she answered, cts busted
In her distinction of terms lay all the
difference between a confession of guilt
and an assertion of innocence. The
word broken" she understood to mean
that the 1uishap had occurred by her
own fault; and in correcting to busted
she meant to imply that some unknown
agency, a current of cold air, perhaps,
had caused the break.
Here is a distinction a clear and real

CHICAGO'S PNEUMATIC TUBES.

Chicago is congratulating herself upon
the prospect of securing better postal
facilities for the rapid transmission of
letters, postal cards and small packages,
through pneumatic tubes, which are to
connect her principal thoroughfares with
the Worlds fair grounds and the out
skirts of the city. But, like the telephone
and other devices that have been intro
duced for annihilating time and space,
the Chicago pneumatic tube system is to
become a monopoly in the hands of the
franchised corporation. The right Of
way has already been voted with other
privileges that will enable the company
to construct and operate this system over
or under public highways. In due time,
if not from the outset, the company will
stock and bond it's plant for five or ten
times as much as it will actually expend,
and tolls will be levied upon patrons of
the pneumatic postal tubes to pay interest
that is pure water. This is the usual
method which the promoters Of our great
enterprises always have pursued and the
Chicago Pneumatic Tube company is not
likely to be an exception.
By rights New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Boston and Baltimore should
have rapid postal transit by pneumatic
tube, owned by the government and op-
Grated as part of our postal system. A
postal pneumatic tube plant should be a
permanent investment just like a post
Office building. 1t should be operated
not for gain to enrich spectators, but
solely with a view of serving the patrons
the p~ostoffice in our great cities with a
rapid service.

Americas Earlies. Discoverer.

Among pEe-Columbian discoveries OF
America the claims of the Norsemen, or,
properly speaking, the Icelanders-who,
by their low stature and features, are
somewhat different from the character
istic Swedes and Norwegians-and OF
the Welshmen under Prince MadOc are
fairly well known, but those in favor OF
an Irishman, St. Brendan, bishop OF
Cionfert, in Kerry, are not so familiar
to US. although they are to the French.
According to eleven different Latin
manuscripts in the National library,
Paris. one of which dates from the
Eleventh century, st. Brendan left Ira
lee bay about A. D. $50 on a mission to
the undiscovered country which he be-
lieved to exist beyond the Atlantic. The
vessel he embarked in with his compan-
ions and provisions, including five pigs,
was caught in a current, and after a
voyage of many weeks he landed in a
strange country, where he taught the
natives the truths of Christianity.
After seven years he returned to Ire
land, and subsequently tried a second
voyage to the same country, as he had
promised to revisit it, but was baff1ed by
the wind and tide. He died in the odor
of sanctity in 578, aged ni~nety-four years.
The curious thing is that when CorteZ
invaded Mexico he found the natives IN
possession of some of the doctrines OF
Christianity, which they said had been
taught them by a stranger clad in a long
robe, who came to them from the Holy
island beyond the sea in a "boat with
wings many centuries before and prom
ised to return to them. The advent of
Cortez was in fact hailed as a fulfill
ment of this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

1T WILL COME.

1t was an interesting thing this morn
ing to read that Christmas has passed.
1t was gratifying to know that those
who placed their stockings on the bed
post had not lost them to know that
some socks were filled and that others
had been darned.
1t was refreshing to see that the
mayors proclamation, giving the kids
the benefit Of the city had resulted in no
fires and but few fights
1t is always joyful to know that a hol-
iday passed off pleasantly.

Come on Now.
News and Observer.

THE DURHAM GLOBE continues with
force and power and patriotic ardor to
urge that a fund shall be raised by the
popular subscription to have a North
Carolina exhibit at the Worlds fair.
That was the alternative which was sug-
gested when it was ascertained that the
provision made by the legislature was
no available, and The GLOBE has earn
est pushed the idea. 1t has done more
han advise and recommend it started
the list with a subscription of $3.50.
This is very handsome. Why may
not others follow such a patriotic lead ?
In fact we observe that the Blackwell
Durham Tobacco company has with the
usual liberality of it's president sub
scribed a thousand dollars. If others
would now say the word, the matter
would go forward. Cannot a hundred
patriotic citizens each contribute $3.50 ?
Ii is true that some provision has been
made by the state board of agriculture,
but the cause is u that appeals to the
individual citizen-and any addition to
what the board can appropriate will be
of material assistance. Mr.. Leo D.
Heartt, of Durham will receive all sub
sc%riptions. We follow THE GLOBE in
urging our liberal aad patriotic citizens
to take the matter in hand and make the
proposed exhibit an assured success.

HELD OVER,

The news printed yesterday, to the
effect that COLONEL ABERNETHY had
been held over until conference to answer
for his recent conduct, was of a nature
which was gratifying.
If the evidence is that GRIMsLEY had
been wrOnged and that ABERNETHY was
too promiscuous in kissing the sisters, the
verdict may have what the book would
call a salutary effect upon the general
run of the universe.
The preachers of all denominations
must soone or later learn that buck shot
are plentiful, and that husbands generally
will kiss their own wives.
