I situation and Admiral Lee explained the
various details OF interest TO the new

Admiral Porter did not take official
command of the squadron until the morn

miral Lee was hauled down from the
Malvern and that of Porter run up on
the Brooklyn. Later in the morning Por-

Admiral Lee proceeded TO Washington for
thirty-day leave of absence. He was
eventually to command the Mississippi

Admiral Porter's new command COM

Henry X. Thatcher, Joseph Lanman,
and Sylvanus w. Godon. and Capt Me-
lancton Smith, The latter, who COM
manded the vessels on the James. had
under him fifth division Of ironclads.
No time was lost in preparing for the
new work, and the navy was to be
ready long before Grant could spare
troops for cooperation. Every moment
lost was to the advantage of the south
for in spite OF a close Gordon of block
aders on the entrance to the Cape Fear
River, numerous runners passed in
and out with valuable cargoes. Every
blockade runner reaching Wilmington
brought supplies that were to prolong
the war.

noted the difficulties that the vessels of
the Federal fleet encountered in their
endeavors to intercept blockade runners.
The advantage was all on the side Of
the latter" he wrote. "They could
choose their own time. Painted a light
neutral tint, they fearlessly approached
the bar, the range lights guiding them,
and vessel within a short distance
could only surmise their presence by a
faint streak of light made by their wake
IF the gunboats fired they were liable
to hit each other; II they made the flash
signal agreed upon between them, the
blockade runner would make a similar
one, and in the confusion, the latter
would soon pass out of sight.
IL the Federal vessels laid close in
to the bar, they ran a risk of being
carried into the breakers by the cur
rent. The display of a twinkliug
light on board of the gunboats, near the
bar, was the signal for a general dis
charge from the guns OF Fort Fisher.
and, although these shots were more
noisy than damaging. yet a stray shell
striking one of the Federal boats would
have knocked 1t to pieces"

When Grant should be ready the army

To use an old phrase which fits the
situation perfectly, condition, not a
theory, confronts those who have been
striving to prevent the union OF the
two great parties which ought to
stand together against the Democratic
organization now in control of the ma
tional government and supreme in
many states where il has the support
of only a minority OF the voters.
While the opponents of Progressive
and Republican amalgamation are
talking against 1t, the union Is actual
ly taking place. II becomes more and
more apparent that nothing can keep
1t from going on until the two parties
become in effect one, with only a few
irreconcilable extremists left outside
of the camp.
There will be a getting together of
Republicans and Progressives which
will leave little room for dissension
and strife in the years to come. No
man, no group of men, can prevent
this natural welding Of political forces
which are working for the same pur-
poses, toward a common goal.

London dispatch announcing the

messenger service after the 9th OF
this month throws incidentally light
on the low compensation of labor In
Europe. when il quotes "a follows an
explanatory statement OF the manag.
ing director:
IL Is purely a matter OF expense
Our experience OF girl messengers has
convinced us they are from fifty to
sixty per cent. dearer than boys. The
wages OF girls vary. Some are earn.

stats. one for day work and one for
night workable messages to the
newspaper Offices Their wages
range from eight shillings up to ten
shillings weekly"
Think OF what these wages mean I'm
or the girls, which now, IL seems. is
considered too high. is s275 and SO
per week. The wages for which boys
can be got to do the work are 81 a
week to $3.50. Is it wonderful that
Europeans crowd into the United
States. attracted by the higher wages
and better conditions OF living which
have existed in this country under the
system OF protection to American la
Dor that the Democrats have underta-
ken to supersede. Is 1t wonderful that
there are American manufacturers
who feel apprehensive OF what may
follow the attempt to compete with
foreign rivals who hire labor at wages
far below those which prevail here
There are signs that recently this fear
has begun to extend to the ranks OF
labor. 1t always has been the claim
OF advocates of the protective system
that no class of the community is
more concerned in the maintenance of
protection than the men who work for
wages.
