FELIX FAURE PRESIDENT.
After a stormy session of the
National Assembly at Versailles
M. l?elix -baure was elected if resi
dent of the French Kepublic, to
fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Oassimir-Perier. .
It was with a sigh of relief that
the French learned of this news,
as many confidently expected
Serious trouble trouble that
might have ultimately resulted in
the overthrow of the present gov
ernment. With the socialists -on
one hand and the Koyalists on
the other, those of Republican
sentiment felt that the worst
might come. Both of these fac
tions put forth tCeir every efforts,
but they reckoned without their
host and scored a signal defeat.
The Socialists contended that
France did not want another
President and were in favor of
abolishing the office entirely
The Royalists also clamored for
the overthrow of Republicanism,
hull vioiemiy ueinanueu mat, a.
monarchy should be established.
For a short time the fiht was
sharp and bitter, but finally the
Rebublicans overpowered their
enemies by jtheir numbers. The
fight was oyer, and all that re-
mamecl was to settle who should
be elected President.
Faure, the newly-elected Presi
dent, is said to be one of the ablest
men in French politics. He bears
the reputation of being a person
of marked executive ability. Con
servative and clear-headed, he
will make France an able and
wise executive ofrier. There has
always been a friendly feeling ex
istinir between Franco finrl tlm
TTtlitfifl Sfn.fo.si. nrul if. ?i rif.li mnnli
pleasure that this country notes
the quiet termination oi what
promised to be a most dangerous
crisis.
SHALL THE WATER WORKS BE.
A question can be agitated by
the people of a town without its
being agitated by the newspapers
thereof! We have a case of this
kind in hand.
The city Council, or Mayor and
Board of Aldermen as they are
synonomously or otherwise noni
mously dubbed or termed have
been prevailed upon and have
submitted to the people of Hick
ory a proposition to vote. It is
intended that the voters of Hick
ory shall vote "for water works"
in the city; or, that they shall
vote "against water works" in
Hickory. We think, in fact nearly
all of the people ' of the town
think (so we have heard) that the
question is put to them in the
wrong way. Thej- are all in favor
of the water works, but they are
not in favor of paying for them
now, or of issuing bonds to pay
for them, when said bonds with
interest on them will have to be
paid and redeemed. Now if it
can bo arranged so that there will
not any interest have to be paid,
with a possibility also that the
principal or the face of the bonds
will not have to be paid, there are
a dozen gentlemen in town who
will then vote for the waterworks.
In connection with the water
works an "estimate" is made, ac
cording to a printed circular is
sued, on "Cots." . It is not stated
what kind of "Cots"- they. are. A
regular folding bed would prob
ably bo better.
AGITATION AND CESSATION OR QUlTATION
Dear Luke Please let me know
in your next letter what he said
to you. I
Dear John: All he sed was,
shute Luke, or give up yer pun.
I culdent shute, so I give her up.
The people and other common
folks jill over the whole face of
the country and in the towns are
talking about the Democratic
party as though it would neither
-shute" or "give u? the gun."
He who will not "shute" nor
"treat,, trade nor travel" must
"give up his gun." The gun has
got to go off. "Git" out of the
way, as it were.
It is a. good man who can tell
just exactly when and where to
let the gun go off, however. It
requires a compact body of good
men, well tried and true, sound in
judgment, who can agree upon
the exact time when the gun shall
go off, or be "shuted." This pres
ent, though not everlasting Con
gress does not know when to
"shute" nor what to "shute "
Neither will it "give up the gun."
It has a back-action gun. The
gun give it up. Good gun. Par
don it;, or don it without the par.
Any way so it "gits" out of the
way; like Marcellius Markham
did when Gaines Chisolm shot
Charlie Sheppard.
Give the Democrats a chance.
They need it. They must have it.
It is high time they had it. They
are like Bill Perkins shooting at
the bulls eye; he wanted some
one to look and hold his hand
steady when he got the rifle
"beaded on to it." Then when
he got his "bead" he turned and
said, "Oz, dur'n you, you are
pulling my bead wrong "
They are all like this.
"Shute Luke, or give -up the
gun."
It was very kind of Senator
Frye of Maine to remind the Sen
ate that it was about to commit
hari carl or put its foot in a steel
trap, by adopting the treaty with
Japan as it come from the Demo
cratic Committee on Foreign Re
lations with a provision in it,
which would have desturbed our
relations with all other foreign
Nations on the "most favored
Nation clause," which exists in
all compacts with -other Nations.
Upon his doing so the bill was
promptly and otherwise "recom
mitted.", Of course all the 3d Party .peo
ple, or Populists, are just now a
little bit prejudiced and more or
less blinded by their half seeming
half success in North Carolina;
but they are just like yon or "we
uns" would be, they will come
back to it eventually, however.
It is only a question of time.
There is and can only be two par
ties in this country and call them
Republicans or Democrats they
will be the parties. No third or
fourth or any other kind of parties
will ever prevail in those United
States.
We have received a specimen
of alluminum ore which has been
found near Hickory recently, and
of which there is a large quantity
at the place. The farmer who
brought it would hot divulge its
locality. But said we should have
its disposal. The specimen
brought us is far above the aver
age; and as ho said there was "a
hill of it,'' there is no.doubt mil
lions in it."
The "figuring" on tli3 'Esti
mate of cots"" which is to be a
part of the water works of Hick
ory, niay fill the bill or fit the
case on the date of t4January 10th
1995" but the addition will not
wprk in "1S95." ,
Hang the "cots!" Who cares
for expenses when the estimates'
total is a thousand dollars higher
than the figures warrant?

The City Council got a hump
on itself when it drew up as well
as adopted ttie erudite and information-giving
ordnance about a
proposal to vote on water works
in Hickory.
Let them get up one more like
it, and then frame a bifurcated
new Constitution for the State
one which will eliminate Populists.
The public will then pay for
epitaphs.
Poor old North Carolina; A
non-entity in politics, split in the
middle. Neither flesh nor fowl
nor fish. Not exactly a Connecti
cut wooden nut meg, but a stuffed
sausage without any of the sau
sage ingredients. Two souls for
United States Senators, without
a single thought in common, if
principle is adhered to; two hearts
that do not beat as one: Though
elected by the sama legislature!'
There was a piece of poetry,
original, in the Corinthian last
week that has all the elements of
the highest type of poetic genius.
We are sorry we did not repro
duce it in our columns.
The city cannot afford to pay
for properly advertising for a
vote on a system of water works,
much less to adopt the system
and pay for it. At least it did not.
Senator Sigmon is holding his
own in the Senate with the best
of them. He, has introduced some
important bills and is on some
important committees.
If it is a question of "cots" or
costs" give us the "cots." They.
come on a line but both cost
money, as well as pots, and pro
per advertising.
Those Frost Paintings.
Lewistox, Me., J ax. 12, 95.
Mr. M. E. Thouxtox,
, ' Editor Press axd Carolixiax,
Dear Sir: The frost figures in Mrs.
Thornton's greenhouse were undoubt
edly a beautiful example of a very in
teresting work of Nature. But istit
certain that the resemblance of the
figures to the interior foilage was any
thing more than accidental? Foliage
and tropical landscapes appear in' frost'
pictures when there are no plants
about, and it is net surprising that
such a variety of pictures appear when
it is considered that . more than 1000
different forms have been counted in
the single crystals into which water
vapor freezes. It is quite possible that,
by acting as a screen to a current of
moist air, plants might le outlined on
glass quite near or, in a drier atmos
phere, the transpiration of water from
their leaves might give a positive pic
ture. It seems to be a new experience,
however, to find the frost crystals ar
ranging themselves according to the
action of light, and such an explana
tion would not be justified until all
'others had failed to account for the
facts observed. It is unfortunate that
photographs of the plants and of the
frost pictures had not been taken, in
order that the closeness of the resem
blance might be shown.
j Very truly yours.
Editor Scir.xTinc Mik.-f.llax v.
The ioint made by cs, a new one,
is that the light, the electric light, did
have influence in producing the re
sults. Of course we know about frcst
pictures of foliage when none is near.'
That is produced on the mirage princi
ples. But this was new, to us.

Euler On Vance.
Last Saturday the IJ. S. Senate paid
its eulogies to the late Senator Zebu
Ion B. Vance of North Carolina.
Many Senators spoke, including Ran
som, JarviV Bate, Gray, Call, Morrill,
George,; Sherman, Dubois and Chan
dler. After a sketch of Mr. Vance's boy
hood and manhood, including his ser
vice in the Confederate army and his
three terms in the Governorship of his
State, Mr. Ransom spoke, of his posi
tion in the Senate, where his record
was, he said, part of national history.
"He was," Mr. Ransom said, "a. duti
ful and devoted Senator, aspiring and
laboring for the welfare and honor of
the whole country. He was, at all
times, onthe most important-committees
in th Senate and took a promi
nent part in the discussion of every
leading question. He was an unceas
ing advocate of revenue reform and
the uncompromising opponent of civil
service reform. He was the ardent
friend of silver money and of free coin
age. He desired all the world to know
his opinion and position, and never
hesitated to avow them. His heart
was, every moment, with North Caro
lina, and his devotion to that State
and her people was unbounded.
