From Washington comes the
important news that as a result of
experiments with kites made by
Chief Moore. of the Weather Bu-
raau, the fact has been revealed
that shifting Of the wind occurs
at mile level above the earth 5
surface from twelve to sixteen
hours before the same changes
take place in the lower atmos-
phere, so that it will shortly be
possible to make forecasts of the
weather at least sixteen hours
further ahead than can now be
done. This discovery is not start
ling, for meteorologists have for
years held the opinion that the
conditions for accurate forecasts
must be sought in the upper at
mosphere. Nevertheless, the rev.
elation marks an advance of the
highest Importance in the science
Of meteorology; and even though
-ts promise may fall short of full
realization i'll daily practice, il
seems destined to prove of great
value to mankind.

Mast Come Down.
Durham Sun.

In a recent interview, Senator Steven
B. E1kins is reported to have said:
Wages must come down The rail
roads get one cent for hauling a ton of
coal five miles, for one hundred miles
twenty cents, less than coal shovelers get
for putting ton of coal into your chute
fIo1n the Gait. Wages in America stand
against any revival of business
What monstrous thing is this we hear.
Over FIVE months ago Mr.. Mckinley,
the Advance Agent of Prosperity" was
elected; the workirigman has been saved
from .'ffty-cent dollars" the national
honor has been protected; the preserva-
ton of the existing gold standard for the
next four wears, at least, has been assured,
and Congress is now i'll the very act of
exactly doubling the tariff on coal; and
Senator Elkins, one of the most praised
and prominent Republican leaders i'll the
land, declares that wages must come
DOWN More than that, and worse than
that, he afir1ns that wages in America
stand against any revival of business
It is no longer threat of free silver
and the fear of too much money that is
running business; but it is wages that
stand in the way of its revival-therefore
''wages must come down." If Senator
E1kins knows what he is talking about,
if indeed this is the Republican program,
then he has sounded to the producing
and toiling millions of America the death
kne11 of hope. The villainous deceit and
treachery by which the people were be-
trayed last fall is beginning to be revealed
| in all its b1ackness. Wages have been
coming down since theA Aelection-they
have not yet ceased to fall, and the end
no man knoweth.
| This brutal declaration of Senator FL
kins could not have been made in q
darker hour of disrnay and distress. Sc
securely e1ltfroned does the organized
money power feel, that it deems it light
thing to mock at the people when theil
fear cofneth.

TIE LITTLE ARMCHAIR.

Nobody sits i'll the little armchair.
Ii stands III a corner dim
But a white haired mother, gazing
there.
And yea-ilingly thinking of him.
Sees through the dust Of long ago
The bloom Of the boys sweet face
AS lie rocks 50 merr:ly to and fro,
With laugh that cheers the place
Somstimcs lie holds a book in his hand,
Sometimes pencil and slate,
And the lesson is hard to understand,
Tie figures to calculate.
But she sees the nod Of the fathers head,
So proud of his little son,
And she hears the words 50 often said,
NO fear for or little one.''
They were wonderful day, the dear,
sweet days,
When child with sunny hair
Was here TO scold, to kiss and to praise,
At her knee III the little chair.
She lost him back in her busy years,
When the great world caught the man
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
To his place in the battles van.
! But now and then i'll a wistful dream,
Like picture ont of date,
She sees head with golden gleam
Bent over a pencil and slate,
And she lives again the happy day,
The day of her young life's spring
When the small armchair stood just in
!. the way,
The center of everything.

The recent suspension of the
Raleigh Tribune, the only Repub-
lican daily in the State, has been
commented by a number of papers
and in various ways. The ROBE
soNIAN did not see the Tribune
and can not speak of it's merits.
The Washington Post, one of the
fairest and most reliable of the
great papers Of the country, does
not speak III complimentary terms
of the deceased. In an editorial
on the subject the Post says: The
suspension of the Raleigh Tribune
is neither a surprise nor loss to
the community i'll which it had it's
brief existence. The Tribune was
established Il few months ago as a
party organ whose sole aim was to
further the political ambitions Of
certain gentlemen. 1t made 10
attempt to enter the Legitimate
field Of journalism, and from its
very inception disclosed It's miss
ion. The news reports Of the
Tribune were colcrod in order that
the political fortunes of it8 pre-
mcter5 might be advanced and lts
editorial page fairly roeked witt
political selfshness and unfair
ness. The failure Of the Raleigl
Tribune speaks well Of the intel.
ligence Of the people of North Car
olina. When a set Of politician.
think it necessary for them to
start a newspaper, then is an eX
cellent time for the people to re.
fuse to subscribe.

have his own skin sliced off and grated
upon his little brothers scalded body,
brought moisture to the eyes of the sur
geons Willie had been told of the terri
bic sufferings which his younger brother
Johnny was undergoing at the hospital
Willie said to his father: "Well, papa;
I'm going to let them slice my skin off
for Johnny, and if 1 get through with it
alright then you may take your turn
next" and so Willie today came to the
hospital, p1uckily climbed upon the dis
secting table, said ''Im ready" and
closed his eyes.
The physicians, who were also ready,
et1lerized the lad, and then Drs. Esenberg
and Lundy washed and shaved an arm
and leg and with their keen instruments
carefully removed four pieces of skin,
each six inches long and one and hall
| inches wide.
The strips were laid on the denuded
