MOTHERS BOYS.
Yes, know there are stains on my car

Yes, know there are stains on my car
pets,
The traces of small muddy boots,
And see your fair tapestry glowing
All spotless with blossoms and fruits;
And known that my walls are disfigured
With prints of small fingers and hands,
And that your own household most truly
AL fresh in it's purity stands,
And know that my parlor is Uttered
With many old treasures and toys,
While your own is in daintiest order,
Unframed by the presence OF boys;
And know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours of the day,
While you sit in your own unmolested
And dream the soft quiet away.
Yes, know there are three little bedEides,
Where I must stand watchful each
night,
While you go out in your carriage,
And flash in your dsesses so bright,
Now 1 think Pm neat little woman
1 like my house orderly, too,
And I'm fond of all dainty belongings,
Yet would not change places with you
No; you can keep your fair home with
its order,
Its freedom from bother and noise
And keep your own fanciful leisure
But give me my three splendid boys.

Admiral Tryon's Blunder.


The British War Office has
made public Admiral Markham s
dispatches concerning the disaster
near Tripoii, and it appears that
the fault was undoubtedly Admiral
Tryon's. He was advised not to at
tempt the manRuyre when the
ships of the spuaGron were only SIX
cables 5000 fee) apart, but per-
sisted in his plan, although he had
seemed to yield to a suggestion that
it should be eight cables instead.
After the collision the Victoria
signalled that she needed no assist
ance, and the other ships did not
know of her condition until they
saw the Victoria's men Jumping
into the sea, when all the llte>boats
of the other vessels were manned
and sent to her aid.
Gable dispatches say that Ads
miral Tryon was not regarded as
very competent to handle a squad-
ron. He would have been better
admiralty official than commander
on the high seas" many naval
officers say. According to Admiral
Markham "the stem of the Cam
perdown struck the Victoria on
the arboard bow about twenty
feet before the turret and crushed
into the ship almost to the centre
line, the fore and aft lines Of the
ship at the time of the collision be-
ing inclined toward each other at
an angle Of about SO0."
The aggregate of loss by the COLI
lision as officially stated was %
officers and336 men, and the saved
are 20 officers and 262 men. There
were thirteen vessels in the squads
ron, and the Victoria and Campers
down were turning towards each
tn er when the collision occurred
The maneaverlng consisted of
he two lines turning in toward
ach other, exactly reversing their
curse, in parallel lines. Owing to
he lack of room the figure that
resulted was like an inverted let
ter W."
The statements Of Admiral Mark
ham and of various officers of the
Victoria confirm the opinion that
the accident was due to an error of
Judgment on the part of the com-
mander-inschief, Admiral Tryon,
in fixing the distance at six instead
of eight cables, and who erred still
more in refusing help after the
Victoria had been struck. He died
gallantly at his post. II, as is prohs
able, he realized the consequences
E. of his stupendous blunders he II ust
have welcomed death,
The London papers report that
Tryon had but recently recovered
from a severe illness, and that he
was in no condition to be in COM
mand of the squadron.
By theway, the Wilmington Mes
sengr has information that Admira
Tryon was a descendant of the
Governor Tryon who ruled the
province OF North Carolina from
1866 to 1913, and who subsequently
held similar sway over New York
after its occupation by the British
forces.-Ric1tna0nd Dispatch.

BUTLER THE APOSTATE.

In his Caucasian this week Mar
ion Butler, the political apostate
seeks to put the editor of
THE ARGUS in the same boat with
himself, the sails of which are ins
fated with the timetable contempt
of all right thinking people" and
which is surely bearing him to the
waters of oblivion; and in the picture
he paints of us, he can verify ''see
himself as others see him." Whereas
the editor of THE Argus has never
been anything but Democrat, with
out seeking political preferment or
any personal favoritism; and has
never turned his back on his politis
cal faith as every one knows
and therefore lies to the ontrary
never trouble him nor rile him.
The editor of The ARGUS needs
no sponsor for the integrity of his
political principles in this commun-
|ity.
Moreoy Ell, the editor of TIE ARGUS
has never made the charge that Mar
ion Butler has ever refused to pay
his debts, and if our language
in any previous article so ''insin-
ates' we take pleasure in correct
ing, it as we certainly did not intend
to convey such an impression, and
would not knowingly do an injus-
tice even to the vilest wretch that
lives.
What we said in this regard
was based on the publication of Mr..
J. A. Stevens, and which Marion
Butler still "dodges', that he bora
rowed $455 from the Alliance fund,
for which he gave his note, and at
the State Convention of the Ali
ance at Greensboro, the note was
returned to him as a gift at the res
quest of ga friend'-paid for,
in addition to his $500 salary and
$512.15 travelling expenses, by the
poor, oppressed farmers of the Allis
ance out of the sweat of their brows
behind "the little brown mule
while they still "plow on''.

WE HA' PAID IT."

The following verses by Rudyard Kip
pling, published few weeks ago, have
been recalled by the recent terrible dis
aster in which the great warship Vic
toria, the pride of the English navy,
plunged to the bottom of the sea:
We have fed our sea for thousand
years,
And she halls US. still unfed;
There's ne&tr wave ofall her waves
But marks our English dead.
We have strewed our best to the weeds
unrest,
To the shark and the sheering gull
If blood be the price of admiralty,
Go2d God, we ha' paid it fall
There's never f1eod goes shoreward
But lifts keel we manned.
There's never an ebb poes seaward now
But drops our dead on the sand
But drops our dead on the snnds for
lorn,
From the Ducies to the Swim:
IF blood be the price of-admiraltv,
Good God, we ha' paid it in
We must feed our sea for thousand
years,
For that is our doom and pride,
AS it was when they sailed with the
Golden Hand,
Or the wreck that struck last tide;
Or the wreck that lies on the spoutlng
rect,
Where the CHASTITY blue lights flare;
If blood be the price of admiralty,
Good God, we ha' bought it fail!

THE CLOVER.

Some sing of thu lily and daisy and
rose,
And the pansies and pinks that the sum-
mer time throws
In the green, grassy lap ofthe medder
that lays
Blinkin' up at the skies through the
sunshiny days;
But what is the lily, and all of the rest
Of the flowers, to man with heart in
. his breast,
That has dipped brimmin' full of the
honey and dew
Of the sweet clover blossoms his boy
hood knew2
I never set hevcy on a clover field now,
Or fool round stable, or climb IN the
NOW,
But my childhood comes back just aa
clear and as plain
AS the smell of the clover I'm sniffin'
again:
And I wander away IN bare-footed
dream.
Where L tangled my toes IN the blossoms
that CLEAN
With the dew Of the dawn OF the morn
ing of love,
Ere it wept DER the graves that I'm
weeping above.
And so love clover. It seems like a
part
Of tn: sacredest sorrows and joys of
my heart,
And wherever it blossoms, oh, there let
me bow
And thank the good Lord as Pm thank
ing him now.
And pray to Him still for the strength
when I die
To 60 out in the clover and tell it good
bye,
And lovingly nestle my face in its
bloom,
While my soul slips away on a breath
of perfume.

Consistency, where art thou ?

No MORE significant instance of
the modern tendency to ignore
oldsfashioned creeds and sectarian
lines has been furnished than the
address of welcome to the Christian
Endeavor Convention by the
Catholic Mayor of Montreal. at
is not battle of creeds Nowadays
says Mayor Des Jardins, "but a
battle between belief and unbelief,"
and to part in that conflict the
Roman Catholic Mayor of a Roman
Catholic city felt constrained to
extend the heartiest kind of wels
come to great representative Pros
testant convention. After such a
welcome the singing Of "God Save
the Queen" and "America'.by the
same audience ceased to astonish
anybody One of the most encours
aging signs of the times is the dis
position of all protesting Christians
to ignore the non-essential differ.
ences which are the root .ot all sece
tarianism and recognize that the
essentials of Christianity are pros
fessed'; and accepted by sincere ad.
herents Of all denominations.

GOLDSBORO n. c.. THURSDAY. JULY 1893.
Speaker Crisp's Forecast.

The interview given to the pub
lie by Speaker Crisp at Atlanta, is
specially significant because of the
position he occupies and the power
be is likely to exert in national
legislation. He was Speaker of
the last Congress and is certain to
be elected Speaker of the new
Congress on the 7th of August. He
will thus be empowered to frame
the Committees of the House and
the Committees practically control
legislation.
Mr.. Crisp is a keen observer of
the currents of public sentiment
and when he declares that The re-
peal of the tsx on State bank notes
and the enactment of an income
tax should be accepted, presumably
be speaks for his party rather than
for himself. Just on the thresh.
hold ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS when
is denomination for Speaker
might be contested, it is improbable
that he would publicly commit
himseif to State bank currency and
an income tax if he did not believe
that he was rejecting the views of
a decided majority of party friends.
The proposition to repeal the tax
on State bank notes is embodied in
the national Democratic platform.
1t is logical enough for him to
declare in favor of that financial
policy; but the question of levying
an income tax is without the party
Endorsement and is doubtless pres.
ented by Mr.. Crisp to reflect the
trend of public opinion on the vital
issue OF providing additional rev.
enue.
1t is obvious that the repeal of
the purchase of silver will necessis
tate some other torn of elasticity
to the currency, and there has
lately been strong tendency to
open the way for State bank notes
to meet that want. 1t is equally
obvious that additional revenue
must be provided for the govern.
ment, and the two leading methods
suggested are a tax on incomes. A
tax Oh sugar would tax the many;
a tax on incomes would tax the
few. and therein is the strength of
the proposition to tax incomes.
Pattern alism has been so long
fostered to enrich the few at the
cost o. the many, that it has finally
taken deep root among the multi.
tude, and the popular drift now is
to get everything from the govern
ment and pay little into its treas-
ury. The only way to replenish
the treasury under the policy of
paternalism to the masses, is to tax
accumulated wealth. The income
tax is the first step; the tax on ins
heritances over a fixed amount is
the next step, and these measures
simply propose confiscation of the
property of the rich for the benefit
of the forluneless It is paterna-
! lism in its forst form, and it is all
the more dangerous because it has
high example in the paternalisnl
that has centralized wealth and inn
poverished the masses. 1t is the re-
turning swing of the pendulum,
and that is always to be feared.

A DEADLY PARALLEL"
In which the Little Brown Mule" Plays

Editor Aryus::-Your comments
upon Marion Butler last week were
timely and to the point. But why
call him d liar? He expected as
much, because lying aud misrepre-
senting the good people of the State
has become second nature with him,
and to tell him of iv has no effect
upon him hatever-he is in the
business for the money he gets out
of it, as we propose to show in the
quel. However, Joe, you look after
Butler and | will take care of the
''little brown mule" and while we
may plow up and down the same row
we did a year a go, we promise you
one thing, We'll pillow out no more
"quarters" for Marion Butler.
Joe, since Marion Butler cham
pions the cause Of "the little brown
mule" suppose we draw one Of his
deadly parallels and show who
has proven the friend to the drivers
of ssthe little brown mule"
Let's take the last years adminiss

he will forgive US for the sake of
the cause, so here We go:

Catholics In Canada.

Notwithstanding the stupid prejudice
which still exists against 'papists" in
certain bigoted localities over the border.
the representative Catholic element is
largely conspicuous, officially and other
wise, in Canadian politics. Sir John
Thompson, the premier of the Dominion
government, is Catholic; Mr., Laurier,
the great French disputant and orator,
and his political chief of staff, Senator
Scott, who are respectively the leaders Of
the opposition in the commons and sem
ate, are Catholics; Senators Anglers and
Miller, the government leaders in the
senate, are Catholics; the president Of
the senate, DR.. Ross, is a Catholic, and
Messrs. Caron, Costigan, Curran and
Smith, all members of the Dominion
cabinet, are Catholics. They are all
gentlemen of irreproachable character
and standing and reflect credit alike on
faith and fatherland.- York Tablet.
