The authorities of Paris and of the
French government are evidently ex-
|peeting trouble with the strikers next
week. The city is already under mill
,tary control. By May 1st, when the
lstrike will begin, there will be forty
five thousand troops in the city. 1t
lis estimated that on that day there viii
be eighty thousand strikers and unem-
Iployed workmen On the streets. Al
ready bodies of troops are in constant
motion and guards are placed in the
printing Offices and many of the fac
tories. A complete suspension Of al
kinds of work is expected, and it il
feared that the gas and electric plants
will be shut down. There will be a
feeling of uneasiness throughout the
city until the fifteen days of suspension
of work have passed. The government
has realized the necessity of making
preparations to quickly adopt stern
measures in case they become neces
isary at any time during the demon
lstrations. Paris will be in turmoil for
Fifteen days and she will be fortunate
Iif no serious riots occur.

A PRAYER FOR RAIN
Good Showers, but Not Enough t
Help Yankee Gunboats.

The late General Joseph Wheeler told
lthis story as illustrating the firm be-
llief that in war times prevailed in
Tennessee as to the efficacy of prayer:
There had been a summer religious
injecting in one Of the rural districts.
mo rain, it seems, had fallen in long
thine; everything was about burned up.
Consequently, the preacher at the
meeting referred to concluded his pray
Ter with this appeal for rain:
"Oh, Lord, we need refreshing
shower. Be pleased to send us the
lblessed rain; SO that the dropping veg
letation may be revived. Oh, Lord,
none of those light, drizzly rains, but a
regular ground-soaker. A heavy rain,
oh Lord! But not heavy enough good
Lord, to raise the Cumberland river SO
THAT the Yankee gun boats may come
in and take Nashville. e."-Exchange.

WIRELESS STATION FOR WILL
MINGTON.

Why cannot Wilmington have a
wireless telegraphy station? Her prox-
unity to the path of ocean travel be-
tween south Atlantic, Gulf and West
Indian ports and those of the north At
lantic and Europe make it very i'm
portant that there should be the means
here of communication with passing
vessels.
The DeForest Company is contem-
plating establishing such station in one
of the towns in the northeastern coast
section of the state. This company, nc
doubt, could be induced to do the same
here.
We throw out this hint to our cham
Der of commerce and business men in
terested in the city's shipping.
Such a'station would be a great con-
venience to shipping passing up and
down the coast, and, what is more to
the point, would be of benefit to Will
mington as a port, and would place our
ports of the country.
The time will soon come when sea-
port which is not equipped with appa-
ratus to speak vessels at sea and to re-
ceive messages from them will be con-
sidered far behind the times. Whining
ton will have to have such a station
1n+n hot ic Io CO
for her to wait to come in at the tail
end of this procession of progress in
stead of taking her position in the van
guard? With such a station Whining
ton would be advertised all over the
country every day in the year in the
press dispatches and marine intelli~
gence of the newspapers through the
wireless messages transmitted through
her station from vessels passing up
and down the coast. 1t would attract
attention to our seaport and greatly
enhance her Importance in the estima-
tion of the maritime world.
What inducements would have to be
offered the DeForest or any other COM
pany for erecting such a station here
we do not know There would have
to be some, of course Would it not
be we'll for our chamber of commerce
to take this matter up and ascertain
what can be done in the way of secur-
ing a wireless station for our port?

SPLENDID NEWS SERVICE.

Cracker Barrel Philosophy.

Some farmers around Asher On poor
land, says the Shawness Herald,
make more money than other farmers
do on good land. One man who came
here three years ago with good health
and 81 cents now owns 16O acres free
from debt while another who came
here with $1,000 in money at the same
time is preparing to let money shark
foreclose on his half section and leave
the territory. A cracker barrel philos-
'opher the other day explained that diff
ference by remarking that as a bread
winner a bob-tailed mule always beats

BE CONSIDERABLE TO THE DISAP-
POINTED.

We thought Greensboro would not
be content to let much time pass with
out some excitement Nothing sensa-
tional would develop, SO the news
papers there have decided, in order
that the people might not become af-
f1icted with ennui, to get up a spat
among themselves over certain resolu-
tions passed or alleged to have been
passed by the chamber of commerce
laudatory of the newcomer in Green's
boro newspaperdom, The Industrial
News, and the latter's comment there
on. The Telegram and The Record
have had their say. The Industrial
News, in reply, says it is not persecut-
ing anyone and is not seeking a con-
troversy, but wants it distinctly under
stood that it does not intend to be
thrown down and walked on" There
does not promise to be much of SEN
sation in this affair as sensations go in
Greensboro. The Record and The Tel
egram should not nag The Industrial
News just now They should remem-
ber it has not been a week yet since
Mr.. Blackburn, instead of being utterly
crushed, walked out of the Greensboro
federal court room a much bigger man
than he was before the commencement
of the prosecution against him and also
that this vindication of the congress-
man strengthens Mr.. Fraziers chances
of getting the Greensboro postofice.
Remembering these things those papers
should, for awhile at least, exercise
greater forbearance and christian-like
charity. Don't nag a man about one
thing When he is sore over another.

SENATOR SIMMONS AMENDMENT

On Wednesday Senator Simmons Of
fered the following amendment to the
clause of the postoffice bill providing
for the appropriation for the southern
fast mail:
Provided that no part of the ap-
preparation made by this paragraph
shall be expended unless the post
master general shall consider and SO
find that such expenditure is npces sary
in order TO promote the interests Of
the postal service and in such ca;e no
greater sum shall be paid Sor such
facilities than in the iudment If the
postmaster general is a fair compensa-
ton for the services to be rendered by
said trunk line or lines.
That amendment, if adopted, means
no appropriation for the fast mail, and
Senator Simmons knows that perfect
ly well. 1t seems to be an attempt on
his part to dodge responsibility for de-
feat of the measure and place it on the
postmaster general. He knows the at
titude of the postoffice department to-
ward this special mail facility the
, south has been enjoying. He knows
that had not the postmaster general
considered the making of the appropri-
alton therefor by congress in the ma
ture of a direction that official would
long ago have cut off this service, and
Mr.. Simmons knows full we'll that for
congress to declare that the postmaster
general shall exercise his discretion in
the matter will be as fatal to the mea-
sure as if the provision had been
stricken from the bill before it came
to the senate.
If Senator Simmons is opposed to
the measure why does he not do as did
Hon. w. w. Kitchin ana i've other rep
resentatives in the house from his own
state-yote against it on it's merits:
He may as we'll do so; for every one
who has given the matter considera-
ton, must think that his plan is for
killing the proposition in roundabout
way and in such a manner as to place
the responsibility on the shoulders of
some one else, if possible.
Senator Simmons knows that the
official in whose hands he proposes to
place discretionary power as to wheth-
er the south shall have this service Or
not is so much opposed to it that he
will not even include 1t In his annual
estimates made to congress as to the
funds he will need for the expenses of
his department. This is the official ~
whom Senator Simmons proposes to
leave this question.
If this is done and the fast mail is
suspended those people who are oppos-
ed to the fast mail appropriation will
applaude the senator for the clever
move by which he defeated it, and
those who favor the appropriation will
be expected to believe that the senator
had nothing to do with it's defeat; they
will be told to place all the blame on
the postmaster general, because the
whole matter was left to his discretion
and it was he who decided the ques-
ton adversely to the benefciaries of
the special service.
Were the next North Carolina legis-
lature to leave it to the discretion of
the minority members of that body as
to who should succeed Senator
Summons, whom would that gentle
man hold responsible for the selection
of republican instead of himself for
the next term-the republican minority
or the democrats who put the choice
in tie hands cf his political enemies?
