The Mount Lebanon Shakers re-
Gently performed great deed Of char
ity, although it was not designed DIS a
charity, being nothing more nor less
than advertising scheme. 1t how
ever resulted in great good just the
same. They gave away 700 bottles
of their Digestive Cordial to those
suffering from stomach arrangements.
1t was so effective in curing those
who used the remedy that they were
loud in their praises of it and in con-
sequence large demand for the cor
dial was at once created.
The druggists of this town have lit
tie books that tell all about it. Di-
gestive Cordial creates an appetite,
aids digestion and brings about rap
i'd increase in flesh and strength.

The recent action of the city coun-
Gil in providing for all-night and
every-night street lighting is most
commendable. The only criticism is
that it should have been one of the
first acts of the Republican council.
The people expected it and more.
They expected the street railway to
receive such consideration at the
hands Of the council as would enable
the cars to run. Why the matter of
the lights was postponed year and
half and the street railway thus
wrecked is not known.

Henry Labouchere in a telegram to the
New York World says that if it were
understood in England that the Ameri-
can proposal was. that unbiased arbi-
traitors should be appointed to delimit the
Venezuelan frontier, he is certain public
opinion would insist Oh the English gov
eminent accepting this solution, and he
thinks that it is desirable that American
public men should explain that this is
the American position. 1t is very likely
true, as Mr.. Labouchere intimates, in an
other part of his despatch that the Eng
l1sh public may have derived from the ac-
tlon of Congress in favor Of the appoint
ment of commission, the impression that
we haVa undertaken to settle the limits of
British Guiana ourselves, and compel
the British government to accept our de-
eislon, and though that is very far from
the fact perhaps under the circumstances
there is some excuse for the prevalence of
shat Impression~in England. II. as Mr.

The administration has practically
abandoned all hope of getting any bond
legislation from Congress and has made
an arrangement, it is said, with the Bel
mont-Morgan syndicate to take an issue
of 500, 600, 000 in bonds which will soon
be put out. OF course the refusal of
Congress to come to the relief of the
tresasury will be due entirely to the
silver men in the Senate. The House
will promptly pass the bill, but the
silver senators have announced their in
tention to kill it, an intention which, it
is to be regretted, they have the power
to carry into effect.

Lord Dunraven has crossed the ATTAIN
tic to appear before the committee, select
ed by the New York Yacht Club. to in
quire into his charges of fraud on the
part of the Defender in the international
yachting contest. He has brought with
him a we'll known English barrister who
has a great reputation in his own country
as cross examiner. When Dunraven
first made his charges they were looked
upon as rather mean device on his
part to mitigate his chagrin at his defeat
and his rather childish action in with
drawing from the last race. Nobody be-
loved probably that he would ever ap
pear before any committee and attempt to
susbstantiate his charge. His appear
ance therefore with a lawyer tends strong
ly to show that he believed his charges,
and that he has some evidence in sup
port of them, for he would hardly cross
the Atlantic to- undertake to support
charges which he knew were false, and
a lawyer would hardly come along to
assist him unless he had examined the
evidence and thought there was. some
thing in it. We have no doubt that his
accusations are false and will be so prov
en- beyond all question when the case is
heard by the committee. yet Dunraven' s
willingness to appear raises a presump-
ton of honest belief or his part that they
were true His coming has certainly
tended to relieve him from the charge of
being a sneak, and to that extent has
helped him already with the American
public

Discussion of tho Senate rules has set in
again. They have been discussed fire.
quently in tho past, but there it has end
ed. Nothing has ever bean done to change
or modify them in any sensible degree,
and today two or three senators can hold
up any important piece of legislation for
an indefinite time merely by keeping
their mouths open and their tongues
wagging. 1t has been evident, however,
for some years past that unless the Senate
is to degenerate simply into a cumberer
OF the ground, to be pitched out some
day as destructive of all progress, its rules
must be changed so as to permit the ma
Jority to legislate' on measure after it
it has received a reasonable amount of
discussion. Tho Snate by reason of the
longer tenure Of its members is expected
to be more conservative body than the
House,, less responsive to public opinion.
1t Is not advisable that that feature of it
be changed. But it is desirable, indeed,
it is imperative, that 1t be put in q posi-
ton where such opinions as it holds can
be expressed by votes. Now the majority
is at the mercy of the minority, and can
virtually do nothing except with the con-
sent of the latter.

There is reason to expect in the near

Of great excitement. The size of the in
surgent army is yariously stated, but
there is good reason to believe that it
numbers at least 6, 900 men and probably
more. The Spaniards claim that the in
surgents have marched into trap and
that they will soon be dispersed or cap
tured. The rebels o the other band al
lege that they have outgeneraled Mar
