Some Tender-foot Approximations.

There seems to be some apprehen-
sion in the public mind that our
street paving project is a failure.
How such an impression got
abroad we do not know, for it could
have no foundation in fact. This
town has formally determined to
pave its streets; it has formally
authorized the Council to borrow the
money to do it; and it has more or
less formally said that it shall be
done now, without any conditions
and without any unnecessary delay
and that determination will GER
tainly be carried out.
But we hear it said that sit can't
be done because the Town Council
has failed to sell the bonds"
Such an assumption is refec
ton not only on the business pluck
OF the Council but the credit of the
town.
1t is true that the war has inter
fered with the sale of the bonds as
speedily and readily as would have
been the case under other condi-
tions. But a little check like that
would only balk tender-foot; it does
not affect the spirit and purpose OF an
enterprising community like this.
This Town has the means and the
credit to carry out the enterprise up
on which it has started. If it can't
get the money at per cent it will
get it at the rate the money market
renders necessary.
But good portion of the bonds
have already been taken at the rate
prescribed. Before ten thousand
dollars worth of paving has beer
done, there will be money enough OF
hand to go right along. There is
no occasion for "a hours delay.
So do not get faint hearted. The
town will be paved.

They were at Homestead in 1892; the
Hazleton strike in 1897, and the Read

marksmen, the majority being sharp

A FRENCH PAPERS APOLOGY.

Declares Frances Attitude Most Correct
and the People Not Really Hostile.
PARIS, May 1.-THE Journal des De-
bats, In the course of long article, re-
fleets the anxiety experienced in govern
ment circles here respecting the feeling
aroused in America on account of
Frances open sympathy with Spain. It
says:
ssThe whole affair is misunderstand-
ing. French opinion at the outset of
the war certainly regarded the United
States as in the wrong and some of the
papers expressed this opinion in an ag-
gressive form. The Americans, how
ever, should not have taken the matter
tragically, for of all foreigners our nat
ural sympathies are for the United
States, and our government throughout
has acted most correctly"
After charging Great Britain with
being at the bottom Of the mischief and
declaring that Il is America own bust
ness if she DECIDES to intervene in dis
tant affairs, the article concludes:
'What concerns us is that America
shall not, in taking up the geat role Of
international domain, start with pre-
conceived ideas against us and renounce
the good understanding with France
which has been so useful in the past
and which is still more desirable in the
future. The French nation was never
really hostile to the Americans, who
will realize this when the present fric-
ton has had time to disappear.

fIcaiiy closed against all inquiry, so Iar
as future movements are concerned.
On the present war basis, the informa-
ton given by the department is the
routine assignment Of officers to ships.
actual engagements with the foe, and
such matters of news as will not assist
the enemy. The routine announce
ment Of vessel movements, composition
of fleets, etc, are entirely suspended.
Not only is the department guarding
against allowing this information to go
from the department, but it is seeking
to prevent disclosures from the many
coast towns where the ships put in. If
1t succeeds in heading off this disclosure
Of our plans it will have the Spanish
admiral at a dangerous disadvantage
and an expressed wish is made that the
newspapers will assist in this.

RALEIGH, May 17.-The United States

Daniels, Ensign Bagley's pastor.

was composed of military and other
bodies, officials, students, body in fun
eral car draped in black, drawn by six
horses with black housings, with six
sergeants as body bearers and six cap
tains of volunteers as honorary pail
bearers, clergy and others. Fifteen
thousand people saw the procession.
AS the procession moved, II guns
were fired by battery and II were fired

public feeling, and the military portion
of them was that proper at the burial of

PRISONERS TO BE EXCHANGED.

Lieut.. Brainard Conferred With Spanish
officers In Havana Harbor.
KEY WEST, May 1.-THE steamer
Uncas has returned here. After leaving
here at / o'clock on Sunday morning
she headed for Havana and spoke the
Mayfower, which was acting as flag
ship of the blockade fleet. Lieutenant
Brainard, U. S. N, special agent of the
United States government, boarded her
and handed sealed orders to the captain,
who thereupon instructed the Uncas to
hoist a white flag and proceed into
Havana harbor. The Uncas then
steamed towards Havana, and when
within signaling distance of MORO
Castle she signaled, asking for an an
chorage. This was refused, pending in
structions.
After an interval launch with the
harbor authorities on board put out
from the shore and took on board Lieu
tenant Brainard and Mr.. Knight, the
correspondent of the London Times,
who had been chosen to negotiate the
exchange of prisoners. When the launch
was returning to the shore she was met
by Captain General Blanco's launch
coming out with the captain general
aide de camp and Mr.. Gollan, the British
consul general. The boats drew to-
gether and conference was had. Lieu
tenant Brainard and Mr.. Knight were
assured that Messrs. Thrall and Jones,
captured American newspaper CORES
pondents, were absolutely safe. 1t was
added that Captain General Blanco
will be willing to release them the mo-

him two Spanish prisoners in exchange.
Mr.. Knight was told if he desired to
reach Havana he must go there on a
ship belonging to some neutral power.
It is understood that two of the
Spanish captives now in Fort McPher-
son, Atlanta, will be promptly sent
down, and the exchange of prisoners
will be contaminated without further
trouble

1t seems to be generally believed
in Europe that the Bank of France
has advanced $2O,ooo,00o to the
Spanish government for war pur-
poses. Presumably, this was out OF
compliment to us tor allowing the

Havana, and to carry in munitions
of war to Blanco. Our 'ssister re-
public is making rather a kineto-
scope exhibition of herself, if we may
trust to appearances.

Much complaint is heard about
the working Of the grand jury sys-
tenn, which was originally designed
to be one of the bulwarks sur
rounding the personal liberty of
the American citizen, and was for
that purpose embodied among the
guarantees of the constitution Of
the United States.
The intention was doubtless that
no man should be brought to trial
on frivolous accusation, and that
is, as far as we know, the only ex-
cuse for the continuance Of this
legacy of medieval Jurisprudence.
But does it fulfill today the OBJ
jects for which it was created? A
cursory review will compel the un-
BIASED observer to answer in the
negative. In the first place the
hearing before the grand jury is
necessarily ex parte. The accuser

morbid sensationalism and hunger

sheets a commercial success.
That such work should be coun-
tenanced in the name Of Christi
anity and reform is a surprise, and
we have no doubt that many good
men who have the sacredness Of
religion and the dignity Of its
servants at heart have already
looked upon it with disfavor.
But this sheet carries the same
cheap and Sunny style through
it's other departments. One John
G.. Woolley, who edits one of these
departments, uses the following
language in a late issue
A Christian who votes the Re-
publican ticket at general cleo
ton marks down. Christ, and if
he votes the Democratic ticket he
puts Christ upon the bargain coun-
ter.
Such language is BETTING a
street-fakir who exhorts under a
gasoline torch for the coppers or
nickels which may be in it, but for
a publication like the New York
Voice to allow such blasphemous
rot to go on record it denotes also
lack of proper respectfo religion
both on the part Of the publishers
and the public which supports it.

"THE successful man." says Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, "is one who has
made happy home for his wife
and children. No matter what else
he may have done in the way of
achieving wealth and honor, if he
has done that he is a grand sue
cess. If he has not done that, and
it is his own fault, he is a most
pitiable failure"
All right, Ella, there is a very
near and dear friend of ours who
has done what you say for his fam
lily and quite little to spare, but
he is just now sojourning in the
Minnesota summer resort on Lake
St. Croix.
There was an old Greek philo-
sopher once, Ella, who gave ad-
vice freely, and he did give it
out cold that no man should be
praised as happy or successful un-
til after he was dead.
There is a whole lot in that, Mrs.
Wilcox. Much depends on pro-
per selection of time to die. I
know al: old man here in Mime
sofa who,:if he had died ten years
ago would have been honored be-
