Trick Gives Evidence,

PITrsBURG, Nov.-23. United
States Senators W. A. PETER, Ut
Kansas, and j. II. GalIinger, OF
New Hampshire, composing The
sub committee of the special Senate
committee appointed to investigate
the employment for private pur,
poses of armed bodies of men in
connection with labor troubles,
began their inquiry tosday.
Ex-Secretary of the Amalgamat-
ed Association Martin, who is now
in ths employ of the Carnegie
Steel Company, testified that the
Sheriff was unable to give the
company protection, and they had
to call on the Pinkertons for as
sistarce. He said the methods of
the Amalgamated Association in
dealing with strickers was abont
as good as any.
Chairman Frick's testimony was
mainly repetition of that given
before the Congressional CONS
mittee in July. He said nearly
all labor troubles were caused by
foreigners. The company's exa
perienoe taught them that no re-
lance could be placed on labor
organizations and they refused to
arbitrate the Homestead difficulty.
The Sherifs of Allegheny, Vest
moreland and Fayette counties
were useless in time of labor troub
lls. He produced a copy of let~
ter sent to Robert A. Pinkerton,
stating that it was not necessary
t, arm the 800 guards to be sent
Homestead. The cost Of the strike
in wages, he said, was about ST.,
100000. He surprised the COM
mittee by stating that there was
no provision made for paying the
Sheriff's deputies ard the company
had to advance the fund.-.

SOME idea of the pension b

SOME idea of the pension bust
ness may be gathered from figure
furnished by the New York Suaa'
Washington correspondent. Twenty
years ago there were but 23S,411
names on the Government roll
now there are nearly 100000. In
1871 the disbursement for pensions
amounted to Only $34,443, 1896, de-
creasing steadily, year after year,
until 1873 when the Arrears Bill
was rassed and the new system oi
increasing pensions came into
vogue. It will take about $780,
900, 900, to pay off Uncle Sans
debt of gratitude this year. There
is consolation, however, in the re.
aection that the money will remain
in the country ond circulate fol
the most part among those who
need it. It is better there thar
going to feed alien or absentes
bondholders.

The French Government has de-
csded, after remarkably calm deliba
Grafton, to prosecute the directors
of the Panama Canal Company for
enormous frauds, IN the manage
ment OF that disastrous enterprise.
And alleged culprit is NJ, Eiifel, Of
Tower fame, who is said to have
received $12,000.000 for work
never done and machinery never
furnished. This is probably gross
exaggeration, for even Panama
Canal swindler would not darke
make such tremendous haul
That there was gigantic swindling,
however, is only too well known
by the unlucky Frenchmen who
invested their little savings in the
big ditch. 1t is hard to believe that
the aged De Leseeps was q party
to the frauds. or aught bat mis-
guided enthusiast. His success in
digging the Suez Canal led him to
believe in the feasibility Of SINH
lar work at Panama. He did not
take into account the great cli-
matte differences between the dry
desert Of Arabia and the rain
swept iungles Cf the Cetral Ameri-
can isthmus. Over $200,000,O00
have been literally thrown away on
the impossible work, and as many
more will probably be lost in the
same way, should the French Gov
ernment attempt to finish it. as the
suffering investors desire it to do.
An interoceanic canal is possible
at Nicaragua and probably nc
where else on the I5thmus, 1t
should be buift under American
auspices and kept ander American
control, maintained and forfeited
as part of our national boundary,
which it certainly would be.

IT SHOULD BE DONE.

The ARGUS agrees fully with the
plain, honest and timely protest of
the Raleigh State Chronicle in regard
to the duty of the hour incumbent
upon the patient and too long for
bearing farmers of North Carolina
towards their psuedo-friends and
unfarmer leaders Marion Butler
and S. Otbo Wilson.
The Chronicle saya: 'sThe president
of the North Carolina Alliance was
one of the electors-at-large of the
Third party. A fundamental prin-
ciple of the Alliance is that it is
partisan. 1t was organized
upon this idea, and many good men
Joined It because they believed it to
be purely and simply an agricultu-
raj organization. These men can
no longer afford to be silent
when a political intriguer like
Marion Butler is committing the
alliance not only to politics, but
making it part of secret political
society. 1t is duty these men owe
to themselves and to the agricultural
interest Of North Carolina to openly
declare that Marion Butler has for
feited his claim to the cffice he holds
by his part sansh;p, and to as openly
repudiate his authority to sanction
with the names Of the farmers of
the State the action of the recent
convention at Memphis. It was the
boast of that convention that it had
the sanction of the names Of many
prominent ailiarcemen throughout
the South for what it did. Shall
Marion Butler and S. Otho Wilson
quote the assent of North Carolina
farmers in defense Of their course
Shall they continue to claim the de-
fense of such an honorable shield !?
Let the farmers take some action
and disown such men. 1t is duty
they owe the State"

The Inter, st i'm Football.

There are two reasons ut least
for the great popular interests in
college football. as manifested by
the crowds that witnessed the
championship game in New York
yesterday and the important and
interesting game at Mannheim. In
all ages of the world men and
women haye admired physical
strength and prowesr. The form
OF the contests or games most enc
Joy ed has varied at different pc
r!cds and in different countrIcs, but
their has been always the same,
and it may be hoped that er,
never will come a time when
manly Athletic competition, in
some !orm or another, will not he
popular.
But there is a particular reason
Just now why So much public ins
tert st is concentrated in football
that formerly was divided among
other Rports. 1t is The OILY short,
sharp and decisiye game that is
still pursued purely as a game and
has not yet fallen in the hands OF
professionals. There il, therefore,
entire confidence that a game. of
football will be square" game
in which the best team will win.
This is no longer felt about base
ball or many of the sports in which
professionals engage, and it is sell
dom felt now about racing. And
the many who like to risk their
favor if not their money upon a
trial of skill or strength or speed
with the assurance tuat they will
not be tricked, find what they
want in college foot ball.
There is, no doubt, an element
o. brute force. about the game as
now plaped that is not entirely adj
mirable; but it is also test of dis
cipline; endurans. and tenps
such as few modern games afford
and as long as it is kept under
right control and the mercenary
fpirit is kept out of it there is no
reason why ito influence need be
otherwise than wholesome

ONE: OF THESE DAYS.

One of these days, my lady whispereth,
A day made beautiful with summer s
breath,
Our feet will cease from these divided
ways,
Our lives shall leave the distance and the
haze,
And flower together in mingling wreath
No pain shall part us then, no grief amaze
No doubt dissolve the glory of our gaze;
Earth shall be heaven for us twain, she
saith,
Ore of these days.
All, love, my love! Athwart how many
Mays
The old hope lures us with its long de-
lays +!
How many winters'waste our fainting
faith,
| wonder will it come this side of death,
With any of the old sun in its rays,
One of these days.

HIDDEN SINS.

For every sin that comes before the light
And leaves an outward blemish on the
soul,
How many. darker, cover out OF sight
And burrow, blind and silent; like the
mole.
And like the mole, too, with its busy
That dig and dig never-ending cave
Our hidden sins gnaw through the soul
and meet
And feast upon each in its grave,
A buried sin is like covered sore
That spreads and testers meath q
painted face;
And no mans art can heal it evermore.
But only His-the Surgeon's-prom.
ised grace.
Who hides a SIN is like the hunter who
Once warmed fr, zen adder with his
breath.
And when he placed it near his heart 1t
few
With poisoned tangs and stung that
heart to death,
4 aculptor once granite statue made
One sided only just to fit its place;
The unseen side was monstrous: &C
men shade
Their evil acts behind a smiling face
o blind! o foolish!thus our sins to hide;
And force our pleading hearts the
gall to sin;
o towards! who must eat the myrrb
that Pride
May smile like Virtue with lying lip.
A sin admitted is nigh half atoned;
And while the fault is red and freshly
done,
If we but drop our eyes and think,-'tis
owned
'Tis half forgiven, halfthe crown is won
But if we needless let it reek and rot,
Then pile a mountain on its grave, and
turn,
With smiles to all the warld, that
tainted spot
Beneath the mound will ever cease
to burn.

Rats Aboard Ocean Ships,

Many persons who have recent
iy crossed the Atlantic in the Ser
via are bitterly complaining to the
New York Herald of the great
number and terrible audacity OF
the rats which infest that ship.
This is a common complaint on
board most OF the Atlantic liners.
Generally neither apology nor
excuse is made for the existence of
these horrible pests, but when any,
thing at all is said in an explana-
tory way by ships officers, it is
that the rats come ab arl when
the ships are lying at their docks
in New York and Liverpool and
that to clear out one lot of them is
only to make room for another.
To certain limited extent this
is trae; but by the proper use OF
trsmps the rates should be very
much thiDned out on every voyage
before the ship was two days at
sea, while those not caught could
be made to keep down in the hold.
and not invade the state-rooms and
scurry over the faces of passengers
as they lie in their berths,
To say that there is no wav to
keep droves Of rats out of passeng-
er's statesrooms is to admit that
the ship officers d not consider it
to be matter worthy OF their at.
tention. It is in keeping with that
policy which is rersistently pursu
ed oy some lines of considering the
comfort of passengers of no cons
sequence to the ships commander.
