A I WIXLXAK H. BERNARD. ? WILMIKlrTON, N. C. Saturday MoaanHa. Dec. 13. GOVB&ffXESTS AS COLLSCTIHQ AQSITTS. The cause of the present difficulty between Great Britain and Germany ' on one side and Venezuela on the ' other is simply a matter of dollars, the two former adopting the heroic method of forcing the latter to pay up sooner than she apparently was 'disposed to do. Debts collected by the methods that these two collec tors are pursuing generally cost a good many dollars for the one re covered. If we understand this Venezuelan tangle, the GoTernment of Vene zuela owes English and German money lenders about $10,000,000 borrowed from them in 1896, on which no interest has been paid. That is a transaction direct between these money lenders and the Vene zuelan GoTernment. Then there were some railroads built by Ger man and English companies, or with German and English money, upon which the Venezuelan GoTern ment granted certain concessions and made certain guarantees, which the English and German capitalists interested Bay have not been respected or kept, and hence both the money lenders and the railroad builders hare sought the intervention of their respective Governments to make Venezuela toe the mark. Those claims may have founda tion and probably have in part, at least, but didn't these money lend ers who took that Venezuela loan and didn't these capitalists who built those railroads know what they were doing and what a risky thing it was to plant money in those South American countries where they are not happy if they don't have periodical revolutions ? Men who put millions in countries like those are certainly not entitled to much sympathy, and could not reas onably complain if their Govern ments took their time and plenty of it in collecting their claims, which they doubtless make large enough to " even up on the chances they took. It is not charged that the Gov ernment or people of Venezuela up to this time have, outside of their money transactions, given subjects of 'either of their Governments cause for complaint. They have not been oppressed or harshly treated, or robbed or imprisoned, or mur dered; on the contrary they seem to have been fairly treated and seem to have gotten along pretty well. It is the fellows who put their money on speculation and took cnances who have the grievances, are howling and now ask their govern ments to collect their claims and protect them from loss. Venezuela has not repudiated any of their claims. The Government has had its hands full attending to revolutions and other domestic mat ters that didn't leave it in good con dition to attend to the claims of outsiders, especially when their claims came in the shape of money due, when there were so many ur gent demands for the money that ; Government could get hold of. Revolutions may be exhilarating pas times down there, but they cost money and interfere with the regu lar course of business. President Castro says his Government has no idea' of repudiating just claims against it. He is quoted as saying when asked about ultimatums sent by England and Germany: "The Venezuelan GoTernment hu not received any ultimatum, properly peaking, but rather simultaneous re quests from Great Britain and Ger many. The claims Great Britain asks this Government to settle are mall, and up to the present time we hare not been aware of them. Never hiring; been presented. Venezuela baa conse quently never refused to settle them. Great Britain's action is therefore without justification. "The Venezuelan Government can not decide on foreign claims before the revolution has been entirely crush ed. At present the only aim of the Government is the re-establishment of public order, and other questions must necessarily be subservient to this ob ject Nevertheless, to prove Ven ezuela's desire to settle all pending claims in a conformable manner, the Government issued a decree during the last session of Congress, dated Lov. 28, creating a committee to which all pending claims should be referred. No claims have been presented to this committee, and no claims have been rejected. There has been no denial of justice. Why, then, should foreign Chaneelloriea Intervene, thereby ig noring our laws and - endeavoring to violate our sovereignty! We cannot understand this action." As long as these claims were not denied nor repudiated wouldn't it look more reasonable if these two powerful nations had waited some time and given Castro's, government time to catch its breath and look around and figure on its assets and resources for meeting its obliga- Venezuelan Government has doubt- less oeen spent long ago, and the railroads . built with English and German money are there still, with n' danger of their being' ripped up or carried away, so that there was mlly nothing to be lost by waiting on President Castro until he got his House ui wrier &uu got zauiy started 1 -3 3 A. ( i in business again. - But they rush in and demanded trr.Tri rpay- ment Of at least someoftneir claims, when the p1bffitie are that Cas-1 tro didn't haYe a dollar, and didn't haye,a-Men tnaVn could borrow one fromr, If these claims had been repudi ated there might have been some w ground for prompt and vigorous ac tion, but as they were not it looks as if King Edward and Kaiser William might have fixed up this job just to give some of their warship crews some exercise, and impress other weekly nations which might owe their people anything that they had a pretty strong collecting agency for the purpose of collecting these for eign outstanding debts. Of course this doesn't apply to strong nations which might talk back and put up a strong fight. They deal differently and much more politely with that kind. Turkey, for instance, owes a good deal of money to Englishmen, and has owed it a good while. There has been much talk about.it, at times, but no ultimatum has been sent to Turkey. Ultimatums are in tended principally these days for the little nations that can't buck up against the big ones, especially when two or more big ones pool issues and double up on them. Our opinion is that if England and Germany had gone about this col- and had given Venezuela time to raise the money to meet the pending claims, they would have been met quite as soon, and both of these gov ernments would have won quite as much glory. We don't believe it is a sensible thing to do, anyway, for govern ments to undertake to do a collect ing business for their people who speculate, loan money and take chances in foreign lands. If they take the risks they ought to take the consequences, and not call on their i governments to come to their rescue and collect their debts for them. A SILEKT PABTSE&. The part the United States Gov eminent is playing in the Vene zuelan affair makes it a sort of silent partner in the Anglo-German col lecting agency. It seems that be fore those two governments decided to apply the screws to Venezuela they felt the pulse of this Govern ment to see how far they could go without arousing opposition over here and gave assurances that they wouldn't do anything to. conflict with our ideas of the relations we bear as a sort of godfather to those Latin Bepublics. This, to say the least, was showing respectful defer ence to this country; but when they were doing all that and showing such a desire to respect American sentiment, why didn't this Govern ment take advantage of the placat mg disposition snown ana as a friend of all parties propose to try to settle the business without resort ing to summary proceedings? Such action by President Cleve land on a former occasion prevented a clash between Great Britian and Venezuela on a matter of conaid- derably more importance than the money involved in this dispute. As tbjs is a matter of money only it is clearly a case to which arbitration would apply especially as Venezuela denies that there is any intention to repudiate just claims. It should be no difficult matter for competent and impartial arbitrators to decide what claims were just and to fix the amount. That would be a much better way than dispatching warships, seizing vessels, destroying them and doing other acts of violence which still further estrange the. principals in the dispute and make amicable and saiisiactory settlement still more difficult. Besides there is always danger when force is resorted to of one side going too far and bring mg about a state of affairs that may ieopardize the interests of others and drag them into the racket. The position of a friendly arbi trator would be more creditable to this Government than that of silent partner in this foreign collecting agency, and that was doubtless the view taken of it by Congressman Shafforth when he introduced his resolution, Thursday, authorizing President Eoosevelt to tender the services of this Government as a mediator, a proposition which will meet with a hearty response from the British public which, according to the press dispatches, is not en tirely satisfied with the steps taken by the British Government and ex presses a hope that the United States Government may intervene in a friendly way to prevent hos tilities.

Some of'the Washington corres pondents say that President Eoose velt is miffed -at: the .action of the North ''Carolina members, in ? Con gress in interfering in the Vick case by requesting the appointment or. some good white man ' in place ox the negro Vick. He is said to re gard this as meddlesome interfer ence, especially after so many white men in Wilson had endorsed the character of Vick, and he believes that the motive of the Congressmen and of Senator Simmons, who joined in the request, was to still further embarrass him and in adjusting the racket with Senator Pritchard. As Mr. Roosevelt has gotten himself into a perplexing mix in this busi- I ness and can't see his way out clear- ly, he is not in a very amiable frame of mind and it doesn't take muoh to excite his suspicion or annoy him. But as he has his side to look after so have the Democratic mem bers in Congress their side to look after, and their action in the premises was entirely proper and consistent. In opposing the retention of Vick in that office they voiced the sentiment not only of the Democracy of this State, but of a majority of the white people of the State, who are opposed of ne groes holding such offices, and if they had refused to co-operate with Senator Pritchard in the effort to secure a white postmaster for Wil son in place of the negro incum bent, it would have been hurled back at them from every stump in North Carolina in the next cam- m . m t m 1 paign, that tney preierrea a negro in the Wilson post office to a white man, and stood by and saw a negro appointed without offering a word I of objection. Of course they wasn't influence the action of the President in this matter, for he will not consider their wishes, if those wishes con flict with what he considers his. in terests, but by their joint request for the appointment of a white post master they have put themselves on record, maintained their consistency and that ends the incident as far as they are concerned. CURRENT COMMENT. The water hyacinth which impeding navigation in some is Florida streams was brought there by a planter who lived near Palatka and put in a private pond near the river. Me has, witnout intending it, caused the loss of many thous ands of dollars to his fellow citizens and the Government. What with English sparrows and German carp and water hyacinths this country has been much distressed by ex perimental cranks. Augusta Chron icle, Dem. No one thinks that the Unit ed States should protect Venezuela in standing off her creditors, but in these days of a growing spirit of ar bitration, it looks queer indeed for this country to be hand-in-glove with two European monarchies in coercing a cis-Atlantic republic Just think of it our diplomatic re presentative in charge of the British and German legations at the Ven ezuelan capital for the purpose of al lowing those monarchies to carry out their avowed intention of forci seizingthe customs of an American government. Norfolk Ledger, Dem. We now know the result of the war in the Caribbean, and It has been proved that an enemy could seize a port in that quarter despite the vigilance of our squadron. But, the enemy will not be American when he comes, and this point re mains to be debated when the new appropriations for the navy follow the President's recommendation. Would it be possible, in a way en tirely good humored, to have some ox our good mends and dear rivals in Europe further test the real point involved? Since we are all in the family, why not now try some inter national naval evolutions with Ger many and Great Britain? Jackson,' Scotland Neck Commonwealth', Mr. OL T.

Wilson, is still at large. Strange to say, no one has seen Bishop since he left the Wilson home, a few minutes after the tragedy occurred. All say that he went down East Oak street and all are sure 'hat he never came back by the Wilson home. There seems to be but one idea about the missing man and that is that he is still in Charlotte. Durham Herald-. G. W. Tay lor came near losing his life by an ac cident Wednesday morning. While cleaning a pistol he was accidentally hot through the head, a painful but not fatal wound being Inflicted. The ball entered below his chin and came out on the side of his heaj. After cleaning, he replaced the cartridges and was looking down the barrel, when it fired. He sajs that he prob ably pulled the trigger, but does not know how he did it. From the direc tion the ball had taken he at first feared that he was seriously wounded, but later developments proved that it was only a flesh wound, none of the bones being broken. Raleigh News and Observer: Mr. J. N. Atwater met with a serious accident Thursday and one that cost him his right hand. He was running his corn shredder on one of his farms, four miles north of Pittsboro, and got his hand caught in some part of the machinery. It was crushed so badly that amputation was necessary. A new cotton mill is to be built at Spray on the land of the Spray Water Power and Land Company. The in corporators' names have not been made public yet, and rumor connects several prominent cotton mill men of Winiton, Charlotte, Haw River, Greensboro and Spray with the enter prise, also the Water Power and Land Company itself. Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer: Papers all over the State have been bragging on seven and eight pound turnips this season, but Anson, as usual, comes to the front with the biggest one yet. Anson's turnip measured S3 inches in circumference and weighed 12 pounds. It weighed 17 pounds top and all. It was raised by Mr. T. J. Beverly, of the Beverly neighborhood. In 1888 Bembert, a negro, went to work for himself. At that time be was. worth absolutely nothing, but he labored hard and lived economically and now he owns over 700 acres of land, all paid for. Bembert Is an excellent farmer and when any one makes good crops he does too. He ran a fonrteen horse farm this year and his cotton crop will aggregate 160 bales. Besides the cotton he made over 1,800 bushels of Corn and other produce in proportion. Ruth, the 6-year-old daughter, of Stella Liles, colored, who cooks for Mr. B. G. Covington and lives on his lot, was burned so badly about sunrise Saturday morning, that she died about 13 o'clock of the same day. The mother left the girl, togeth er with three other smaller children at home and went to Mr. Covington's to cook breakfast, and the accident oc curred about 80 mtnutes after she left. The ehlldran, after the mother left, fastened the door on the inside and the girl's dress became ignised while she was plajing in the fire. IWINKLINUS.

PrOOD.LI VER.LUNCS. MRS. JENNIE MORRIS, Secretary, of Poinsettia Benevolence Society, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 623 Grand Ave., Only a wife and mother can folly understand the grand benefit which' Wine of Cardui is in cases of barrenness and pregnancy. After five years or married lire most ot tne time and extremely painful menstruation I became .completely discouraged. I kept getting worse and worse. The doctor said that if I could have a child I would be much better, but inflammation had set in and I was in such poor health generally that I was simply unfit to be a mother. My sister tiad a beautiful boy and Bhe told me what benefit she had derived from Wine of Cardui so my husband decided that we would stop the doctor's visits and try Cardui. I wish I had only known of this before. What misery I would have been spared! But I was grateful for the speedy relief I obtained, and so pleased to find that I gradually was re turning to health, happiness and new life and hope. Within four months I was fike a changed being and now found that the long hoped for happi ness was to be mine as I expected a child. I kept taking. Wine of Car dui all through my pregnancy and a lovely daughter blessed our home. Child birth was almost painless and my husbana and I both thank you a thou sand times for the sunshine and happiness Wine of Cardui brought to our home. V 'HE greatest ambition of men and women is to have happy homes blessed with healthy chil dren. Because wives are weak and sick thousands of homes are barren and desolate. How many there are today suffering irregularities and bearing down pains, menaced with the probability of becoming childless wives. Thousands of heretofore childless wives are becoming moth ers by having these troubles relieved by Wine of Cardui. This great rem edy so strengthens the organs of motherhood that nervous, discour aged women who want children but who fear the suffering caused by childbirth, go through motherhood WIHIC of BUCKINGHAM WAS TAKEN. They Bad Htm Sure Before Curtain id Actor Went Down. ' During the first year of my travels as an actor I joined a troupe that was presenting Shakespearean tragedy. We sentlng Shakespearean tragedy. We were playing in one of the provincial cities of England when a new actor, an Inexperienced amateur, joined the com pany and was assigned the role of Catesby in which to make his debut in the play of "Richard the Third." Dur ing the progress of the piece one of his new lines Is after a quick entrance ad dressed to King Richard, and be says: "My lord, the Duke of Buckingham Is taken !" I can remember that on the night of bis first appearance he was frightfully nervous and was anxious to proclaim the fact that the Duke of Buckingham was taken, as he had been practicing and studying It for several weeks. The result was that be got the wrong cue and made- his entrance before time, crying out: "My lord, the Duke of Buckingham is taken V Richard turned to him and In an un dertone said: "Get off! Get off! You're too soon." The actor left the stage mortified and more "rattled" thau ever, so that scarcely was be In the wings before he again' made the same mistake and again proclaimed that the Duke of Buckingham was taken. Richard turn ed upon him for the second time and told him to leave the stage. He also whispered, "Somebody take care of that idiot and tell him when to make his entrance." The prompter grabbed the actor by the hand and when the proper time came said: "Now is your time. Tell Richard fee's taken." The actor rushed upon the stage, hes itated1ooked at Richard and then in a wild tone of voice exclaimed: "We have him. by heaven, and we have him sure!" I believe the curtain went down, and, If I remember rightly, the curtain was not the only thing that went down. J. H. Stoddard 1 Ho tnwlap F.rontnff Dost THE LOST CHILD.

There had been the handshake, the waving pf handkerchiefs, the hymn, tha prayer, the word which told the spiritual history of many a soul. The bishop stood upon the platform In the act of pronouncing the benedic con. Emotion was at its height. It seemed as if a spiritual wave had wept over the multitude, wrapping it Jn a divine caress. At (bat moment a Jlttlo clmu was passed up' to the platform, and the bishop took it in his arms, "post child," Tvere the whispered words. The baby put its dimpled arms about the bishop's neck and laid its bead upon his shoulder, its yellow curls mingling with his gray hair. "Lost child," said the bishop in. his deep, sympathetic voice. "Does any one in the audience know this baby or to wnom it belongs r will the father op mother come and claim it?" There was silence, and the baby nes tled closer, and the women who sat near said, "Oh!" , Then a; man was seen making bis ..way to the altar. It was the baby's fa ther..
