Storms-Gues8ing train time.

The great storm that the Canadian
weathcr-prophet foretold, or, more pro-
perlY, perhaps, "guessed at,' which, he
SAID, would come from the Southwest on
the 2lst or 22nd March, did really make
its appearance at the time appointed, and
struck rs about 4:45 p. m. on the 27nd
inst. 1t was terrible indeed. The ele-
ments darkened and lowered upon the
earth; the winds their tiercest powers
engaged; the rains descending, hushed
the gladstone mirth; and man stood awed,
while Nature seemed cnraged. 1t was a
time to keep silent and to mediate on
the inslgnifcance Of the creature, and the
anna ing power of the reserved forces Of
the AInaiqhtY.

The DAMAGE DONE.

With us, the injury done by the storm,
was not very great in the county, so far
as we have heard; but the rise in rivers
has been very much above the average in
other storm periods. While to the farther
south of Harnett county, and to the east
also, the waters have overfowed the h,9h
points in many places, and low lands are,
even now, under the super-abundance Of
the floods that poured out their waters
upon the earth, on the day predicted.
COULDN'T TELL THE TINE.
We thought we would try guess on our
telegraph here, the other day, and
see If HE could tel when the train from
Wilson would get I'M and his answer
was, while sitting at his tlblo, with his
left forefnger and thumb rafting away
nervouely, ct his little brass knob.
Don't know. Guess u be on time
1t was then, about t o'clock, p. IN e,
and the train schedule time was 400 but
it didn't come, that day, TIL about 5:3O
D. m. So we concluded that telegraph
operators are not always as good guesSerS
as some other people are, who don't have
to answer questions, when they are try
ing to think about something else, at Mc
same time, eh?

ings, by men of such unequaled faith
and energies, and has made such an I'M
PARALLEL growth and being still in the
possession of such immeasurable pros
poets, that she is, however, as a city
completely hedged about by a score or
more of the brightest and most prosper
GUS towns and cities in any western
state, towns and cities which with their
own ever increasing Importance afford
an amending guaranty of the continued
augmentation of this center in which
they are all interested and to whose
greatness they will ever contribute.
That comprehension of these few
facts, which are SO thoroughly under
stood by the people of Kansas, and so
thoroughly appreciated by the people of
Wichita, must satisfy any interested, or
disinterested investigator, that these
factors alone, and without estimating
the scores of others of almost, if not of
equal Importance, are a sufficient guar
anty that Wichita will sweep right
along until she has reached the proper
tons Of a great mid-continent, inland,
central city whose commercial influence
shall be felt from the junction of her
two rivers westward to their sources and
again southwark across the intervening
valleys down to the sea.

AGITATIONS FOLLOWING THE RE
TIREMENT OF BISMARCK.

The death of Prince Bismarck would
have caused less serious disturbance in
the European situation than has resulted
from his retirement as part of the new
program of young emperor That the
princes withdrawal was in fact a dis
missal-with honor. but none the less a
dismissal-is established by too many
cOncurring evidences to be doubted. He
is no longer permitted to be the power
behind the throne. for fear that the
power might be thought greater than the
throne itself. That generally accepted
conclusion onl Y serves to give point TO
the inquiry whether the emperor will be
so mighty without the prince-minlster as
he would have with his aid.
1t is the uncertainty of the answer to
the question, ''What after Bismarck:
that has thrown Europe into ferment.
How extensive the disturbances are is
indicated by the suppression of news of
demonstrations in Russia, respecting
which enough information has leaked
out to show that at Moscow, Kiev and
st. Petersburg students have simultan-
eously made demonstrations on pre-
concerted plan, of which forecast was
published some days ago. In other coun-
tries the sentiment OF unrest Is mani
tested in less marked degree, but is I'M
mistakably general.
Ii the young emperor succeeds, with
out loss of prestige, in preserving Euro
pean peace, and order and prosperity in
Germany, during the current year, he
will be deemed to have stood the test of
ability to rule alone. In German affairs
his greatest hope lies in the parliamentary
support of Windthorst's party of the cen
ter. Butin dealing with the clericals on
the basis Of social reform the kaiser and
Caprivi will be treading on perilous
ground. The alliance will necessarily
imply concessions on the part of the en-
peror likely to give offense to the power
full Liberal element.
Within Germany and beyond its Dor
ders the conditions of politics are such as
to call for the firm but delicate touch of
a master hand.

The project of constructing a tunnel
through the Sierra Nevada mountains to
avoid the snow blOckades on the Central
Pacific, is declared by officers of that
road to be perfectly practicable. Others
say that the blockade can be prevented
with the new plows if they are properly
managed. The tunnel is estimated to
cost between ten and fifteen million
dollars, which is an enormous sum to be
expended on a road now almost hope
lessly in debt to the government. Con-
gress will probably not endorse the
scheme.

THE KIND OF IMMIGRATION WE
WANT

From sources where the preliminary
throes of immigration are first felt, gen
orally in the form of letters of inquiry.
such as are constantly being received by
| all newspapers, land offices and boards
of immigration, it is evident that the
west will receive this year the
greatest immigration in its history. 1t
is an unfortunate fact that all of this
new life pouring in is not of a desirable
kind. There prevails in the east an err
rOneOus impression that it is only nee
cessary to ''go out west to ''get a job"
at high wages, or, in some way I'M
known to them, but which they expect
to discover when they arrive, to accmu-
late fortune in few months. Acting
upon this idea, many come here without
any idea Of what they are going to do,
and without any means for supporting
themselves until they find employment,
having, possibly, gone to the extent of
borrowing money 70 pay their passage.
! They find, upon arrival, that oppOrtuni-
ties for miscellaneous employment
are not many, and that I'M
less they can resort to manual
labor for living, their lines are not cast
in pleasant places. Even this field of
plain muscle is often Overcrowded. San
Francisco Just now finds herself over
run with this class, and how to keep
them from starvation is a question of
public moment. Climate is very desira-
bic, but it is not food and drink. Cheap
emigrant fares have had the effect OF in
ducing many people to come west whose
presence is of no earthly good to any
community, a man should have some
definite plan in his mind or else have
some means for at least temporary sup
port before he rlIshes off to a new coun-
try. Even a mechanic should have a
few dollars at his command Occasion,
ally man of brains, by ''rustling."
manages to do well without any capital,
and so do the same class of men in the
east. There is ample room and an invit-
ing field for the man of capital and
ability. and for the industrious farmer
We need to have our vacant land set
tied upon and brought under cultivation:
to have our older farms divided up
into smaller holdings and sold to those
having the means, the will and the abili-
ty to win from the soil the bountiful re-
wards of intelligence and industry; to
have the hand of capital laid on our in
dustries until they thrive and expand,
furnishing employment to thousands
Let every man study his qualifications
for success. and if, having done this, he
feels confident he is taking the right
step, he will find here a hearty welcome
and an open field for the display of his
talents and the investment of his means.
There IS plenty of room in this state
and throughout the west for the char
acter of citizens indicated, and there is
no sort Of doubt that such can and will
succeed in the various callings and pur-
suits to their perfect satisfaction.
