tinued there remains a weapon of which the
possibilities may prove serious Under the
statutes it is within the power of the gov
eminent to accuse each striking seaman
of INSTRUMENTATION as a member of the
naval reserve and to punish him severely
such. A move of this kind might be pro-
vocative Of an immediate uprising. Yet.
again, such a show of determination might
quel the insurrectionary spirit promptly.
Much therefore depends upon the policy
the ministry decides to adopt in meeting
this undeniably serious situation. The
Clemenceau government has lately received
strong supporting Endorsement from the
chambers and is in a position to take firm
ground against the strikers. Some settle
ment of the trouble must be effected imme-
diately or the stoppage of all water traffic
will cost France an enormous sum, greater
than that entaied in the reforms demanded
by the union.

The French Seamen's Strike.

general strike of a peculiar nature has
caused the practically complete tie-up of
the entire maritime trade of France, afford
ing an example of solid organization which
may well cause the government at Paris to
contemplate the situation with dismay.
This is thus far an exceptionally orderly
strike. 1t is aimed, not at the employers,
but at the government, and it is an illus
tration of the recent tendency of the French
workingmen's organizations to bring pres
sure directly upon the national administra-
ton.
This strike is precipitated by refusal Of
the government to consider favorably a
bill for the increase of the pensions paid
to invaded members of the naval reserve,
whicl comprises practically all the men
of the mercantile marine. The ministry
offered a compromise for the PROPOSE
ton which the minister of marine de-
clared would bankrupt the government.
The compromise was rejected by a con-
gress of the seamen, and the strike was
thereupon organized, with the result that
Yesterday virtually every ship under the
French flag then in home harbor was put
out of commission.
A remarkable feature of this strike is its
completeness. With the single exception of
Brest in every one of the French seaports
not only the sailors walked out OF the YES
sells. but the lOngshoremen left the wharves,
and even the fishermen in some cases drew
in their nets The strikers having no griev-
ance against the ship owners and masters,
there is no disposition toward disorder or
violence. Thus far the strike is the most
orderly affair that has ever occurred in
France in the name of a labor demonstra-
ton.
There Is, however. a sinister possibility.
If the government decides to oppose the de-
mands of the reserves and the strike is con-

San Francisco.
rom the New York Tribune,


NO great credulity is needed in order to
believe the latest report from San Francisco
that the true conditions in that earthquake-
shaken, fire-Swept, graft-ridden, labor boss
cursed town have been largely suppressed
for obvious practical reasons. Any one
who can read between the lines might have
discovered as much from the excellent,
conservative analysis of the situation given
last week in the San Francisco Argo-
naut. Everybody else can be convinced at
will by reading the various private letters
which have been finding their way during
the last fortnight into the columns Of
various publications throughout the coun-
try. San Francisco is, according to all
witnesses, in a turmoil painfully like those
which ragged chemically in the medaevaI
Italian cities. The only material difference
seems to be that the California metropolis
harbors gang of political sharpers who
play off the contending factions against
one another in a fashion which would make
Macchiavell weep for joy.

Enjoyment of Parks.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Parks are desirable and necessary adj
juncts to any city. They add materially to
municipal adjournment, tending to break up
that solid mass of wall and masonry which
shut us in to more or less bleak per-
spective and keep the country out. They
substitute instead an open breathing space
and contribute to the pleasure of the people
by presenting to their view evidences OF
horticultural art, supplemented by spacious
grass plots, which are vigorously kept in
their virgin greenneSs.

Refutation.

We have no poets-oft they say
This harsh, unfeeling thing;
Yet every day that slips away
New evidence doth bring
That we have bards who can indite
Fair words of cheer and hope,
Particularly when they write
OF liniment and soap.
They do not write for selfish fame
Nor sing of warriors rude;
The useful virtues they proclaim
OF some ones breakfast food.
The world will thank them when they're
gone,
And lose them with a sigh;
We have no poets?-Out upon
So base calumny,

When Mr. Stevens was informed
that story had been published here
to the effect that his resignation was
due to realization that the canal

That's nonsense. The canal will be
completed just as sure as you are

Asked as to whether he thought the
canal eventually would be of the sea
level type he replied:
Undoubtedly, In time"
