BUY GUNS.

Several senators are thoroughly in
sage and propose to back him up in
the most substantial manner. There
have been numerous conferences of
senator's, and there appears to be a
somewhat practical unanimity that an
appropriation should be speedily
made that would enable the admins
tration to equip an army if it were
necessary to call one into the field.
With this idea in view, Mr.. Chand-
Ter (rep., n. Fl. last week introduced
a bill which provides that the Presi-
dent be authorized and directed to
strengthen the military armament by
adding thereto, equipped for use, one
million infantry rifles, one thousand
gums for field artillery and not ex-
ceeding five thousand heavy guns for
Notifications, to be procured by man
ufacture, in the arsenals, or by con-
tract for manufacture, or by direct
purchase in this country or elsewhere
according to the discretion of the
President, who shall conform, when
practicable, without unwise delay, to
the methods prescribed for making
contracts and purchases by existing
laws.
The sum of one hundred million dol
lars is appropriated to carry into eff
feet the provisions of this act.
Mr.. circuit (rep., W. offered in the
house bill of the same purport as
Mr.. Chandler's. Itappropriates $780,
100000 to be Immediately available
for the construction of Notifications
and other works of defense on the
sea coasts and along the Canadian
frontier, and for their armament with
heavy ordinance.
To provide the moneys for the exc
cution Of the act, the bill authorizes
the issue and sale, at not less than par
for coin, Of $1,000 900 in p. C.
bonds, running from one to 80 years
at the pleasure of the government to
be offered to the public in sums of $40,
$50, 800 and multiples of 500, not
exceeding $1,000. And they may be
used in the payment of treasury war
rants to such persons as may choose
to receive them at par.

A movement has been started
among some of the hotel keepers of
Vermont to hold convention, perfect
an organization and draw up a plan
whereby the hotel keepers shall re-
sist the prosecution of those of their
number who violate the liquor law.
A letter has recently been sent out to
this effect, to all hotel keepers in the
state. 1t is signed by the proprietor
of the Avenue House, st. Johnsbury,
land twenty one others" Now
there isn't a soul in the state that will
have the least objection to the entire
lot of Bonifaces in Vermont organic
ing-it might be a good thing for them
in many ways. They have just as
much right to organize as any other
body of business men. But when they
organize for the express purpose of
protecting violators of the law, why
that is an entirely different thing.
The State of Vermont will not be
"hoodood" by any such movement.
We are of the opinion that the better
class of landlords will take little stock
in the movement, and we somewhat
doubt if an organization of the kind
proposed is ever effected. -NeaUs and
Citizen.
Let the wives of the hotel keepers
speak out.

The annual report of Sec. Car
Isle was sent to congress Wednesday.
1t follows the lines of the presidents
message in regard to currency, and
maintains that the revenue will soon
be sufficient to pay expenses, if bust
ness continues good. The deficiency
this year is estimated at ST., 900, 900.
After recommending the establish

suggested in the presidents message,
Secretary Carlisle closed his report as
follows: 1t is not probable that any
plan for the permanent retirement of
the United States notes will be adopt
ed that will not require considerable
time for it's complete execution and I
therefore respectfully urge upon con-

THE VENEZUELA COMMISSION.

There is naturally a good deal of
talk in Washington and elsewhere
concerning the make up of the pro-
posed commission to investigate the
disputed boundary line between Ven
ezuela and British Guiana. Of course
as yet nothing is definitely decided,
not even that there shall be such a
commission, although it is practically
certain to be authorized by congress
The commission, if appointed, is like
| ly to consist of five members, and
among the men already mentioned as
available for this service are Chief
Justice Fuller, ex-President Harrison
and ex-senator George E. Edmunds.
This is a great trio, and it would be
we'll it all could be given places upon
the commission. The commission will
have a difficult duty to perform, one
requiring delicacy, sound Judgment
and high order of intelligence, and
hence should be constituted of the
very ablest men in the country. It's
decision will establish the boundary
line between Venezuela and British
Guiana, assuming that the United
States maintains it's present position.
The attitude Of this government will
show to the world that we seek ONLY
just settlement of the dispute be-
tween Venezuela and Great Britain.

Under the caption of s'Youngest
Operator" and the picture of hand
some young lad who left Charles
Town baby boy some dozen years
ago, the Raleigh IN. C.) News and
Observer of recent date says:
Master William Hughes, now IA
years old, was the youngest operator
in the United States when appointed
operator, being not quite ten years
old. He entered the service of the
Postal Telegraph Company at Ra-
leigh as messenger boy in 1891, and
was appointed operator for that COM
pany in April, 1892.
He is not yet ID years old and
works the New York quad at Norfolk,
Va, and can handle any kind of busi-
ness that goes over the wires. He
is an expert typewriter, and is the
son of Mr.. P. H. Hughes, formerly
of Raleigh, now manager of the Pos
tai Union Telegraph Company at
Norfolk, Va. He is "cbip off the
old block" and like his popular and
successful father, is a born operator.

And smiled as he glanced at the Rose Of Aldie-
Just then, o'er the hill, ike fends in their glee,
Dashed Blazers moss-troopers, with sword
And seized e 'ors on the maid. the Rose Of Aide;
Then the bold trooper, who rode with titz
Loosened his rein, pressed flrmer his knee,
And charged the rude riders, who raided

Away DER the hills, away from the sea,
Rang merrily out the bells of Aide,
