For almost third of a century
the National banks of this country
have been issuing their notes and
the people have been taking them
freely and unsuspiciously, knowing
that the government bonds were
pledged for their soundness, and in
all that time there has been no
loss to the holders by reason of a
bank failure. Who will guarantee
any such results for the next third
OF a century if the present accept
able plan is changed?

What will Mayor-eleCt Strong do
with Byrne's resignation? This is
the New. Years gift for which his
honor does'",not thank Parkhurst.
II the resignation is accepted the
people of New York who do not
care baubee for Parkhurst, but DO
care for the efficiency Of the SLAM
dered superintendent, will be about
the Mayors ears like hornets; and,
il it is not accepted, then the Park
hurst crowd will swarm down on
him like the locusts of Egypt. A
preacher is good in his place and
his efforts at reform need not be
decried, all the same experience
demonstrates that the parson as
purifier Of politics is only bad med
icine. He never has been a dis
tinguished success in that role.
The LIGHT rises to remark that
there are fool people in all gather
iugs, mott excepting those of the
press. The immediate occasion OF
this truism is the criticism that is
being made upon the fool utter
ances OF that one Wisconsin editor,
who was let out a little too soon
from the milk pasture. There were
some splendid specimens OF the
genus homo in that crowd, and the
wisdom of the whole should not be
called in question on account Ct
the fool utterances of a very small
specimen.

None the less certainly is the pro

have returned. The party went down

the improvement of . valuable conces-
sion made by the Venezuela govern

through the default of the original
grantees, of whom Mr.. Bowman was
one. and changes in the government,
might pass into new hands. Mr.. Grant
says that he was very much impressed
with the appearance OF the country, 50
far as he had examined il.
The offered concession embraces .
tract Of land near the mouth of the ORR
noco river, running l25 miles north and
south of it, and it extends from 10 to 80
miles east and west. There is a vast
amount of very fine hard timber upon
the land, comprising mahogany, dye
woods, rosewood. etc. There are nu-
merous iron mines there also. The soil
is adapted to any Of the staple. crops,
such as coffee, which is extensively
raised. They now ship the mineral
products to the United States. The
concession also embraces Trinidad

WASHINGTON, April 4.-There is .
great deal more in the news from Fari-
bault of the grant of . concession by
Venezuela ut the mouth Of the Orinoco
than is indicated in the dispatch. This
concession, may become more or less
famous in the history Of the diplomacy
Of the United States and Great Britain.
The concession is well calculated to
bring to an acute stage the most
troublesome diplomatic question before
the state department.. The concession
is in the heart of the territory long in
dispute between Venezuela and Great
Britain, and Ambassador Bayard for
some time has vainly striven to per.
suade Great Britain to submit the
whole dispute to arbitration. There
have been limitations that the nd.
ministaation, in the event of a
physical conflict over the disputed
lands, might deem it necessary, in the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, to
follow up the moral aid it has rendered
Venezuela with more substantial and
potent assistance. The fact that >citi-
zens Of the United States now, by this
concession, are thrust. so to speak, be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, considerably increases the meas
ure Of this governments responsibility.

The Night CONDUCTOR Courtship.

The conductors on the night runs are
usually more genial than those who
look after the fares in the daytime.
Just why this should be 50 is not quite
clear, but the fact that most of them
conduct affairs Of the heart with young
women who are engaged in domestic
service during the daytime may have
something to do with it. In making as
signments the aim usually is to put the
married men OH the day runs and the
single men ON at night. As soon as the
evening dishes are out Of the way the
lady in whom he Is interested boards
his car, and between one end of the line
and the other they manage to have a
lengthy tete-a-tete. The gripman is
more fortunately situated than the con-
ductor in this respect, as his little
chats are not subject to frequent inter
ruptions, as the conductors are.-Chi-

An American Art Lover Who Proposes to

There is a lady tuft hunter in an up
eign title fever of the most pronounced
type. She paralyzes the other roomers
by the easy, matter of fact way in
which she tells the names and titles of
her distinguished callers. One night it
was the Prince Bombastes Deadbeati.
The night before it was the "Dook"
Indebto, and the next night it will be
the Count F~reakivitch. She has been
across our great salt water privilege
several time and has contracted the
broad gauge style of numbering the
English language. There is reason to
believe hat she bewails her fate at hav-
ing been born in plebeian America.

filled with princes, potentates, "dooks,"
counts and bald heads in the absence Of
crowned heads che incidentally remark.

she would get more works of art and
among them a work of venus de Me-

"You must be varee particulars and

of precaution.
