"Say," Said Sen ator Whi taker, of Wake, ! "you just tell them that George Tonnoffski's name's there, too. If they know him like we all do. that will fetch 'em." Senator Skinner, of : Perquimans, knows a great many things well. He is the excellent and able old Congressman Horn the First district, and unlike his impetuous brother Harry is as safe and reliable and sure as: Father Time himself. The only com'plaint about Senator Justice's committees Avas heard from this great authority .on oysters, fish and sich. A shell fish committee was made, and the chairman of the committee, as firs constituted, lived on top of the blue ridge, and had never seen an oyster in the shell. Senator Justice admitted he was thinking about high land terrapins, and his ignorance of oysters being shell fish.

The affair Isi becoming: generally known, much Indignation Is expressed, and another similar spark may start a blaze of greater proportions than that of last November. An effort Is being made by the cham ber of commerce to Interest citizens in the purchase at the local exchange or the Interstate Telephone Company. It will very likely succeed, and If It does the life of the Southern Bell Telephone Company will be short indeed, eo far as Wilmington is concerned, as the citi zens will naturally rally to the sup port of the home institu-tlon. r Jines of the Penitentiary Investigation S the inci(5ent should be Resolution Which was published in run in Thursday's Post.

Speaking of fish, Representative Troutman, of Gates, who knows more about herrings than trout, in a dissertation " on fish laws, made some most' interesting pis catorial disclosures. "The posts that are driyen in the.. water to hang the set nets on, can be counted by thous ands. Instead of removing these stakes, which is very difficult, they are sawed off a foot under water. ; The herring shad in place of going to some quiet safe nook under the banks to spawn, as na ture intended, run against one of these stakes and deposit their eggs on top of the stake, with the result that the other fish have free lunch offered to them very publicly from the "Post," as it were. In this way. all spawn being de voured, fishxare getting scarcer a'llthe timt and will' soon be extinct. Some law must be devised that will force these stake drivers to pull them up instead of sawing them off," said Mr. Troutman. And it does look reasonable, and besides, he knows. The study of natu:e's laws, even in a fish, is allur ing. '"The dai'ky may beih the dark but these things you call steers are known by him doubtless, to be dangerous, with or without horns. That steering committee he evidently suspects of having horns, hoofs and a tail, but fuller information will show him there is no cause for alarm. They wont hurt anybody," quoth Capt. Swift Galloway.

It is uppermost in our mind that the tender care and loving attention to the graves of the Boys in Gray is. and should be, a work of Southern magna nimity that should nofr be delegated to the execution of other hands. As the love of a mother, the devotion of a wife, the affection of a sister is so tar above ail other sentiments of devo tion that no substitute has ever ben offered, just so high and holy is the innate love of the South for her heroes of the lost cause ,that any offer to share her untiring attention to the memory of her beloved dad can but br' regarded as an insult to her highest honor. With the loss of the Confederacy the South lost "all save honor." In the darkest hour of her humiliation her thoughts have never for a moment been diverted from the line of self imposed duty to her defenders. And today this is the only sorrow from' which she will accept no divorce. Her heart has been' proud, capacious enough, brave enough, uncomplaining enough to bear every misfortune grow ing out of the interstate war, and she never will consent for any hands, how ever friendly, save those of Southern womanhood, to share with them the holy duty of keeping alive the fond memories that cluster around the hal lowed graves of her defeated but splen did heroes. The South will ever claim this as her rightful heritage. Second to the cause of Christiantiy and we write it with reverence to the women of the South, is their devotion to the Confederate dead. In their hands this trust is safe, for it is to them sacred. We are told that away down in the deep mines of Norway there burns a perpetual fire. No one heaps fuel on that fire, yet it has burned for ages, and still burns. So will the hearts of loyal Southern daughters glow with patriotic remembrance in the heroism ever displayed in a cause that termin ated in "misfortune without guilt." "Friends and comrades, you should see That our hero dead are honored as such hero dead should be." It is fit that Southern women should tell this story of heroism all down the stream of time to the latest genera tion. Tell it by keeping green their graves and watering the flowers that spring up on their graves with their tears. History and song have linked their names together as Spartans. ,Tt is the "Southern woman's self-imposed guardianship of the graves of the Confederate dead that has invested her solicitude with a tender and gentle cus todianship that she would never will ingly surrender, and with her we. thank our Cod for such a blessing as the biessing of our dead.

The reform movementstarted by the city authorities caused quite an under current of excitement the past week. The most doubtless meets the approval of all. The trouble with the reform is that it was started wrong. At a recent meeting of the board of aldermen the major was instructed to enforce the law against houses of ill fame and do all in his power to rid the community of them. The matter re mained quiet for a week or more until the annual applications for licenses to retail liquor were presented, and then the board announced that no licenses would be granted to sell liquor within three blocks of a house of ill fame. Here is where the kick came. The city errants linuor licenses. The sale of liquor is therefore a legitimate busi ness, and the saloon-keepers question the justice of depriving them if the right to conduct a legitimate business because somebody sets up an ilegilti mate business within three blocks of them. The saloon-keepers have many adherents, and the political river was not without ,-i rippl for some days. Thursdav. however, the authorities equalized matters by raiding three dens of vice, tlkus at last getting down to I'vil T"hf inmatMS of the houses have been escorted to' the depot and ordered never to return. The free ticket business is quite the fad here. The mayor has announced his inten tion of continuing the crusade against evil-doers of every calibre until Wil mington becomes a Sunday-school. Someone has suggested sending for Dr. Parkhurst. but if he doesn't come soon he will tind no work to do. The special police force which was sworn in dur insr the recent race troubles and has served faithfully ever since has been sworn out and a permanent force in stituted. The applicants were re quired to pass a rigid physical exami nation and prove good characters. When properly uniformed, no city in the South can produce a liner-lookinj body ot nien. The force numbers thir ty-one, including a chief, captain, lieu tenant and three sergeants. The County Board of Education is at last organized for work after many vicissitudes. A majority of the school committeemen- were nesroes. and these, as well as the white Republi cans, refused to resign. The Board met a few days ago. organized and just simply removed the wholt- shoot insr-match and appointed white men in their steads. Considering the experi ence thev have had along this line, the negro committeemen were very ooou rate. The bill to repeal the charter of the city of Wilmington which was intro duced in the House this week by Rep resentative Kountree id a ieadinjr topic of conversation just now. The amend ments, which are included, take away the appointive power "Hf the aldermen and place it with a board of police and fire commissioners, thus doing away away with and preventing the accus tomed wire-pulling. With the excep tion of a few disgruntled politicians the new charter meets the appi'oval of every one. Under its provisions the mayor must be elected outside the board of aldermen, a clause which is especially satisfactory. Judge Dossey Battle made his debut here Tuesday, the occasion being the January term of the "Circuit Criminal Court. It is needless to add that he made a fine impression. He has clear ly shown his ability to handle knotty questions and to dispense justice im partially. The new solicitor, Rudolph Duffy, Ksq., was also a debutante. He is scholarly lawyer and the State is well represented. None but the old residents can appre ciate the change around the eourt-:oom Under the former judicial adminis tration it was no uncommon sight to see eleven negroes and one white man on a jury, but the past week has- pro duced as intelligent a set of jurors as ever deliberated in the wide expanse of the Old North State. Another example of the former loose methods practiced by fusionists crop ped out the first day. Of the first thir ty or forty cases called, at least twen ty-five defendants turned up missing, No bonds had been taken, the fusion judges simply allowing the accused to go, leaving it to their pleasure as to whether or not they should return. Judge Battle remarked that all on his docket that didn't go to the peniten tiary would! be acounted for or - he would know the reason why. The annual meeting of the East. Car olina Truck and Fruit Growers' Asso ciation was held this wek at the Orton Hotel. The 'Association elected W. L. Hill, president, and C M. Steinmetz, secretary. The time for the annual meeting was changed to the third Wed nesday in June. , Yesterday two negro wenches shoved violently from the sidewalk an elderly lady, the wife of a prominent clergy man. After 'pushing her off, they abused and cursed her. This sort of outrages were of daily occurrence be fore the recent election, and it was thought that the lesson taught the 9 WILL GO ON YOUR BOND T&eiericiBoingMGo. OF BALTIMORE.
