THE ST. JAMES GAzErsk
whining Over Alleged Insults By Vens-
zueIa To England.


LONDON, Oct. s.-The St. James Ga
zette devotes leading articls to dis
eussion of the Venezuelan situation, In
which the paper insists that no prog
ress whatever has been made toward
q settlement of England's dispute with
Venezuela. The paper recites the Ven
exuelan affronts and outrages perpe-
trated upon English officials, and con-
cludes by saying:
IF such insults and outrages had
been addressed to the meanest sister
repu bile in South America there would
have been war long ago. Any other
European power would not have stood
it week, yet we stand with folded
hands aud permit one slap in the face
to succeed another. We hope
most sincerely that the negotiations
with the United States viii result
peacefully, but nothing is to be gained
by shutting our eyes and crying

One of the Disadvantages of Hiring .
Lawyer by the Day.
With the name of Rufus Lockwood
is recalled to mind one of the most ex-
traordinary geniuses that the state of
California ever produced. It is many
years now since Lockwood held sway
in the courts of San Francisco. He

yer in the state, and it was only be-
cause of his utter Indifference to
pecuniary matters that he did not
leave large fortune behind him.
Lockwood went at one time TO Horace
HAYES, a very distinguished lawyer
and the author of the consolidation
act which is now in force. HAYES had
a reputation for close figuring, and
Lockwood knew it. He said: "Mr.
Halves, I'll hire myself to you for one
year from date at salary of S25 day,
payable every night"
''All right" said Halves, delighted
to engage the services of the brightest
mind in the state at so low a figure
for the salary was not a great one in
those days-and the bargain was
sealed. 1t was Il o'clock in the morn
ing. But from that time on, it is said,
Halves never missed an opportunity of
reminding Lockwood of his bondage.
He would say, in the presence of
others: Lockwood, go fetch that book;
Lockwood, do this or that" etc. Lock-
wood never said a word, but did as he
was hidden, and HAYES enjoyed his
triumph.
Finally it came to the day when the
wears engagement Terminated There
was most important law suit on hand
which Lockwood had made a careful
study of. No one in the state could
possibly have handled it as he did.
Well, on the day in question Lock-
wood stood IL court, an array of
law books in front of him, and ex-
pounded his views in mastery fashion.
Suddenly he looked up at the clock
and saw that it was the hour of IL.
Closing the book from which he was
quoting, he turned TO Halves, who was
sitting beside him, and said: 'Mr.
Halves, year ago to-day at this hour
contracted to work for you for one
year. My time is up. the contract is
cancelled, and am going"
Thus did he repay his master for
the humiliation heaped upon him.
Halves was in the greatest consterna.
ton. He could not possibly take up
the thread of the case where Lock-
wood had left it, and he begged and
implol ed him to proceed. But Lock-
wood remem bered, and he turned a
deaf ear to all persuasions. He kept
his word; the contract had EXPIRED

Gladness Comes


With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pl pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup OF Figs prompt-
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which It acts. It is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II

INFANTICIDE AID SUICIDE.

Camden, n. j., July 27.-Mrs. Mary
Herman, 30 yers old, of 917 South
Fourth street, drowned her two infant
children and attempted TO drown her
self Tonight in the Delaware river. She
tied the hands of one child and the
feet of the other, and took a large dose
of carbolic acid. Then holding child
in each arm she leaped overheard.
Two boatmen saw her jump and drag
ged her out of the water as she was go
ing down the third time. The children
did not reappear ON the surface. Mrs.
Herman was taken to the hospital.
She cannot live. Domestic trouble
caused her to wish to die. This was
the second attempt she has made to
commit suicide.
When Mrs. Herman heard of her
crime he attempted to suicide by cut

PRETENDED PATRIOTISM.

During the past two years the gold
spectators have forced the govern
ment to issue bonds to the amount of
1862 100000, not counting interest, to
keep up the gold reserve. According
to the statements of officials, this mon
ey has not been needed for current eX-
penses, although some of it may have
been SO used. The ruling of the Presi-
dent, following Republican precedent,
that he would pay all coin obligations
in gold was all that the gold specula-
tors wanted in the early days of the
administration. They knew Mr. Cleve-
lands fxedness of purpose, and having
procured his pledge to redeem every
thing in gold they went forward syste-
matically depicting the gold reserve,
compelling several bond issues. In
all this the administration, to keep upa
gold reserve not required by law and
not needed to carry on the operations
of the Treasury, has fastened an I'M
necessary debt upon the country equal
to the value of all the property in
North Carolina.
A few days ago the announcement
was made that another bond issue was
imminent. This frightened the gold
men, because they feel that if other
bonds are issued pending presiden-
tial election the people will elect a
man who will prevent further issues.
What do the very men who have been
forcing bond issues on the plea OF
maintaining the public credit" do in
this situation? They carry gold to the
Treasury and beg to exchange it for
Treasury notes, and make "all neces'
sary arrangements to control the ex-
change market so as to prevent the ex-
port of gold" On four distinct occa'
sions they have declared that nothing
but a new bond issue would accom-
plish this result.
Whence this new born zeal TO main
tain the public credit at their ex
pense? 1t fools nobody. 1t is no
born of regard for the public credit Oh
the country's veal or patriotism, a.

MlD0LE-OF-THE-ROAD PLANS.

st. Louis, Mo. July 27.-The middle
