played in San Francisco the other
night where the heroine turned her
ankle just as she was about to plunge
the knife into the villains breast and

worse tragedy than the play itself.

LATER NEWS.
Justice Lamar Dean.

MACON, Ga, Jan. 23.-Justice Lucius
Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar died here
at $50 o'clock this evening.
1t is a terrible shock to the commune
ty. The death was sudden in the ex-
IRENE, for, although he had been ailing
for some time, Justice Lamar appeared
to be gradually gaining in health. He
came from Washington to Macon about
month ago and had been visiting at
the residence of w. Fl. Virgin, in Vine
vile, a suburb of this city. This after
noon about o'clock Justice Lamar took
his overcoat, intending to go to the
city. but was met at the door by a
friend, DIR. Llewellyn, with whom he
returned to the sitting room. At that
time, and during all the afternoon, he
was in good spirits, and at dinner, at
$50 this evening, he seemed to have a
good appetite. DR.. Llewellyn left the
house about 8 o'clock, and few min
utes late: the justice was seized with
violent pains in the heart, and died at
the hour mentioned.
Bright's disease, with angina pec-
toris, was the direct cause of Lamar's
death, and is given by the physicians
as being the chief complication in the
case.
Mr.. Lamar was appointed to the SUI
preme bench by President Cleveland in
1885.

FRUITS OF RECIPROCITY.

Those people who think that there is
necessarily loss to the extent of the
excess of what we buy from a country
over what we sell it will gain but little
consolation from the treasury returns of
our trade with those countries with
which the late lamented administration
had, with much flourish of trumpets,
negotiated reciprocity treaties. Mr..
BLAINE chung tenaclously to this the
DRY of trade. He was not surprised at
a stringent condition Of the money mar
ket, because the returns of trade showed
that we ''had dropped S40.000,000 into
Cuba" in our dealings with her; that
is, we had bought that amount of her
more than she had bOughtOf US. 1t was
with the express purpose OF preventing
this that Mr.. BLAINE forced on an
averse congress the reciprocity features
of the MCKINLEY act. That proceeded
on the theory that if we could get the
other governments to tax their people
less on what they bought of US they
would buy more, and sell US less, of
course.
The treasury report for February
gives the amount OF increase or decrease
of imports and exports with those coun-
tries with which treaties have been
negotiated since the date when they
went into effect. The dropping"
process does not appear 10 have been
checked to anv very encouraging extent.
While there has been d net increase of
our exports amounting to SIG, 40S, 4S5,
there has been net increase of our i'm
ports amounting to Sl20.995,5S1. Ac-
eOrding to the BLAINE theory, then, we
have made a net loss of S104, 527, 156 in
our dicker, in spite of our efforts
to make our trade relations really
reciprocal, that is, dollars for dol
lars. Meanwhile We have been about
S9,OOO,O00 out of pocket annually be-
cause of the rise in the price of our eof-
fee. resulting sfrom the imposition of a
tax of three cents a pound on that i'm
ported from Venezuela and Colon bia,
because those benIghted countries re-
fused to make their people pay more
for the goods they bought of US. The
GLOBE trusts that President CLEVE-
LAND has not permitted the engrosS-
ment of his time by the seekers for
place to make him forgetful of the fact
that he can revoke President HARRl-
SONS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. at any
time. If he has, the coffee cups of the
country should rattle him into remem-
brance of it.

succeeded an oil inspector who had
made from $4,000 to $4,000 year; but
Mr.. NICHOLS had not gone far until the
Northwestern Oil Company of Mime
apolis questioned his right to inspect a
forty-barrel tank and charge fees for
forty barrels. The matter was taken
into court, and Judge LoCHREN decided
that the official could charge no more
for the tank than for one barrel. The
legislature changed the law, placing
the inspector on a salary OF 81, 400
year, and requiring him TO cover all
fees into the treasury. This is the law
which the legislature has just changed.
The new law makes the inspection
fees much higher than ever before,
gives them all to the inspector, and pro-
videS that tank containing any num-
Der of barrels of oil shall be inspected
by the barrel, the oil company to pay
the same fee for each barrel as for
single barrel.
The consumers and not the oil COM
panies will be the sufferers, and it is
doubtful if the people of the state have
so much interest i'll Mr.. FooTE that
they will uncomplainingly contribute
such princely income to him. 1t is
likely that the legisl ators who voted for
such an outrageous measure will hear
from their constituencies in way that
will hurt
