Washington bM bean treated to a MDMtioa during tb put week, a sen Mtion of iaab proportioni tbt it will arteil th President's trip tod bring him beck to the eepitel a week earlier than be expected to return. Herbert W. Boweo, United Btete Mioiiter to Vtntiosl, end Francii B. Loomit, Assistant Beeretary of Bute, are the ebiet figures lo the affair which prom iiee to end in the diitnieeal from public service of at leaet one of tbeae offieiala, possibly, althongh improbably, both. It appeati that tome time ago Minu ter Bowea filed, offloially, ahargri againit secretary Loom it, who had at one time been Minister to Veneiaela. In brief, thete obargee are to the effect tbat ai Minister Mr. Loomit accepted $10,000 from tbe New Tork and Bar model Aipbalt Company in eompema tion for hisservioet in their behalf; tbat Mr. Loomit purchased a elaim of $4. 000 against tbe Veneiaela government and Died bis influence to eolleet It; and that Mr. Loomit nndertook to eolleet elaim for a Mr. Meyert lor a eommit eion of one seventh of $1 400,000. Mr. Bowen forwarde these ebarges to Bee retary Taft, over bis own signature, nd Beeretary Taft forwarded tbe torn mnnieation to the Presideot, wbo was already in tbe west. Not content, however, with having done this, Mr. Bowen grew impatient at hearing no eebo of the serious bargee he had preferred and be tnro isbed tbe details of tbe ehargee to a certain newspaper correspondent in Caracas. The whole story was then mailed to this eonntry and appeared in large type on tbe front page one of the New York dailies. Even were tbe bargee troe.Mr. Bowen was guilty of very grave inditeretion and violation of courtesy in making tbem pnblie in advance of some reply to bis eoamnni eatiQn to Beeretary Taft and only on pardonably bad judgment or nngover cable spleen against bis superior offleer eould aeeonnt for this coarse. When tbe ebarges were first made public Mr. Loomit was absent from Washington bat immediately on hit return be furnished to the newspapers eatagoneal denial ol each and all ot the charges. Be explained that he bad had one financial transaction with the New 'Tork and Bermadts Asphalt Company, but only to the extent ot ex changing his check on a Veociuelau bank for tbe company's eneec on a New Tork bank when he left Caracas at the conclusion of hit service at Minister, this being not unusual among American Ministers in. Caracal and elsewhere, where the rtW exchange is hieb and sometimes exeoange can sot be aeeured at any price. Of course the transaction was unimportant and could not plaeeeithcr party under mate rial obligation to the other and may even have been a mutual accommodation. Svery other transaction undertaken by Mr. Loomit at Minister to Veoesueia, he declares he undertook only as a re tnlt of explicit instruction from the Beeretary of State, Beyond this denial, Mr. Loomit has declined to diseuat the bargee Tbat an official statement from one ot Secretary Loom is' superiors will be ultimately made is generally assamed, and it it regarded as probable that the naatcsity of issuing snch a statement baa played an important part in de termining tbe President to curtail hit bunting trip. There are, however, other questions ot importance which await the attention of the President. There are, for instance, come questions connected with the Panama problem which be mutt consider at an early day. One of these it tbe disposition that it to be made of John Barrett, now Minister to Panama. Barrett is desi rous ot (Murine: promotion, aod in any vent It it unlikely that he can retain hie present positisn. Another question which will demand the President's at tention in the near future it tbe dispo ition of the engineer members ot tbe Panama Canal Commission to make trouble because they regard themselves as eomewnat overslaughed in tbe present organization ot the Commie. ion. Btill another question which will compel the attention ot the President at no distant date is tbe constantly increasing treasury deficit. This hat ow assumed somewhat alarming pro portions, being, at practically tbe end of May, $30,000,000. Treasury experts lain that it will be reduced during the next two mouths, and this is not Improbable as many funds aooroorla ted by Congress bsve been exhausted, Bnt ti is frankly admitted that it can aot possibly be reduced to anywhere sear Beeretary Bbaw't estimate ot 918,000.000. Secretary Bbaw has made one of hit extravagant and thoughtless state menU to tbe press, In which be says that a $30,000,000 deficit it "a mere Botnlng," that for a great and pros peroui country tt should not be regard a as or any importance, ana tbat. in fact, "it meant no more than $1 to tbe average individual." The Beeretary apparently forgets tbe fact that so (teat an the expenses of the govern meat that once the balance it trans tarred to the wrong rid of the federal led ear It arrows with aatoundins? ranid- Ity and bat been known to wipe oat a large turplus in an astonishingly short time, as was tbe ease in the Harrison administration. Of coarse Secretary Bbaw hopes to belittle tbi situation because be is an arch "ilend-patter" and cannot sleep whenever anyone has suggested revi sing the precious tariff schedules, Ot oar the crowing deficit gives in creased Impetus to the demand for tariff revision, which vetyooe but to pro tected interests appreciates it unnee scary. It will be remembered tbat the MoKlnlsy tariff biU deprived the aeantry of a large percentage of Its revenue because it rates were so high as lo be prohibitory, aad little being imported little doty we paid. The - earn ooadltlos of affairs, has low been reached with th Dtnglsy bill Cost of prodactloa ia many line he decreased ad bow th Dlngley rates an practi cally prohibitory. ! .v tctvaiA , in Take LAXATIN1 BBOMO QUININE Tablets.

It li a remarkable circumstance tbat of tbe British Bouse of Peers, embrac iog dakes, marqaestet, earls, viscounts and barons, numbering over 600 per sons, not one . can trace bit title and arme bask further than tbe year 1181. Tbe peers are nearly all ot reoent creation, especially those ot tbe higher ranks. The barons go furthest bank. In tbe Eoglish peerage but one Zonche ot Haryngworth gott back at far at 1308, but most barons are creations ot the nineteenth century, and but 26 date at far back at the seventeenth century. Tbe Scotch peers average older dates of creation than the English, the Earl ot Sutherland dating back to 1228. Ireland bat one baroa wbo got fait title in 1274, and another, Miehael C. DeCoorey, whose date is 1181. A large proportion of the families entitled to "arms" have beeome extinct. In Mr. 8. Baring Gould's book on "Old Country Lite" it is noted that "one of the extraordinary phenomena of social history in our land it the way ia which the landed aristoe raey have become extinct in the male line; how families of note have disappeared as though engulfed like Korah and his company. Recklessness 0 liting and ruin will not account for it. It it not that they have parted with their acres, bat the families have disappeared at it annffed out altogether." Yet, according to this authority, families of "ordinary posi tion" yeomen can be traced with certainty through many generations. "It it quite possible," be adds, "to draw a pedigree a genuine, well au thentieeted one of almost any English tradesman's or veoman's family from tbe time ot Elisabeth." But the "gen tle" families as a rnle have vanished. In 1020 the official heralds visited Dc von to enroll the familiea entitled to bear arms. Under the letter A thure were 14 gentle families, ot which only tbe Aalands remain. Under tbe letter B there were 47, ot wbieh but 5 remain This is an amaaiog extinction, yet it has been proved to be a fact by caret nl examination ot records. There are many tbat bear tbe names ot old fami lies, owing to the custom by wbicb servants took their master's names, bnt documentary evidence thowt that they are not ot the lineage ot the titled families. Un tbe other band, Mr. Qoold, after "a close study of paroeh ial registers," hat reached the convic tion "tbat some of the best blood in England it to be found among the tradesmen ot the Eoglish eonntry towns " They are descendants of noble families who, having lojt their proper ty, have forgotten their arms, erect aod motto. mirrr. coluci ran.

I have seen tor a long time that the prohibitionists are only shrubbing off the sprouts from tbe "old stomp." Why not dig it np it they want it dons away with t Now I want it understood that I have no fight against prohibition, bnt I can only say, as did Mr. Smith in th Ob anviB ia 1903, "that wa have alwayt had it and an likely to have it aa long at then an people here." Bo take Mr, "W. D. D V advice and mak lawa to prohibit mea from the misos ot whi ky; and no doubt it tbs last Leguleian had enacted laws to prohibit drunken nee instead of selling whisky, and if they had enacted laws to prohibit so much "loose" marriage there would not today be at many peopl in North Carolina living oat their time in .what isht be called "bell on earth." The day is not tar distant in North Carolina when people will see that it ia far bet ter to nmovc the cause than to fight the effect.
