Senator Noel Is a magnificent gem
tleman and all that, but the race for
governor lie clearly between Critz and
Vardaman.-Dixie Press. The Noel
papers say the race is between Varda-
man and Noel. The truth of the
matter is that the race is not between
Vardaman and either one of them,
and our esteemed incorporates are
simply wasting wind. Neither Critz
nor Noel have ever been seriously
considered by the people Of Mlssis-
sippi and both r in such a position
that it is hard to tell which will win
the race / securing the hindmost
place in the procession, while there is
no doubt among posted men m
where in the State that Vardaman
viii win In the first primary and those
in the best position TO know, and are
in the least inclined to be sssporty. .
are willing to bet that the distinguish
ed son of LAHORE viii have more votes
than both bis competitors. All this
talk about Vardaman's popularity be-
ing on the wane, is the merest cant,
inspired by desperation, after all hope
on the part Of the machine crowd, to
compass his defeat, has vanished.
Mr.. Noel Is a pleasant gentlemen and
SO is Mr.. Ortiz, especially among
those whose papers his Yahoda Levy
is editing, but Mississippians know
the difference between a statesman
and q pleasant fellow, and they want
a statesman for a governor.

huddled together In corners in writhing

descriptions covered the floor. The snakes
do not interfere with the working Of the

Of the summer and possibility OF the dock

will soon consume all the fish IL Is scarcely
likely that the Government will furnish the
snakes with food, and several thousand
dead snakes will make the dock anything

Even IL the snakes do not die. il is only
a question Of time when they will so in

they are increasing at the rate Of a hundred

Police Unable to Keep striking Lonsshore-

MONTREAL, Quebec. April 2s The strike
ofthc Montreal longshoremen assumed such
a serious aspect this afternoon that the
Mayor called out the militia to preserve
order and TO protect the shipping in the
harbor. This step was taken after con-
sultaton with the police officials. who
said that they were unable TO cope with
the situation. All the union longshore-
men. numbering over 5000 men. employed
at the port are now on strike. and have
succeeded in tying up operations.
To-day an attempt was made by the steve
dores 10 unload the vessels now In port with
non-union men. and this led to serious
disturbances. The strikers gathered on
the wharf and proceeded from one ship to
the other intimidating the men at work
and getting them to desert. There were
several clashes between the police and the
strikers and several Of the latter were
badly hurt. The police, however. were
no match for the strikers, and the shipping
men and stevcdorcs called upon the civic
authorities for protection.
