LOVES HOME,

1 wen 7er oft in the land of dreams,
Where always bloom the sweetest
flowers,
Where the sunshine of love so brightly
streams,
Through the crevices in Eeen's bow
ers,
l wander on, but never alone,
For the e beside me always strolls,
The dearest form to me e'er known;
So what cara 1, how slow time rolls
Or yet how fast,
Just so the past.
In blest fcrgetfulness is lost,
10 And so the future for tho most,
Behind dusky maze j. lid,
AS we stroll on the flowers amid,
Beneath the mellow summer skies,
Where care and sorrow ne'er can come
To bring the tears into her eye,
Tor this is Loves own happy home
-ncnovan.

A DEMOCRATIC BLUNDER.

Ben Batter used to say that somt
people had called him knave, but
that nobody had ever accused him
of being fool. TEis remark apple;
in q measure also to the Republican
party, That party has often beel
guilty OF knavish acts, but it has
rarely committed foolish blunders.
except so far as knavery itself is
sometimes foolishness from a politi.
cal standpoint. The Republicans
made blunder in trying to pass the
Force bill, in pushing their theory
of protection to the extreme and sc
forth, but that was IN the line OF
party policy. The Republican party
has never, however, committed the
biunder OF thwarting a Republican
President when he was endeavoline
to carry out the policy and promises
of the party as set forth in the
earty's own platform. That sort of
foolishness is reserved for the Demo
cratic party.
If certain Democratic members of
Congress may have their way, Mr..
CleVeland's administration will be,
in part at least, a failure and the
Democratic party will have to suffer
for 1t.
How foolish is such policy! The
Democratic party cannot hope to
haYe a successful administration
and to hold the confidence Of tie
people, if Democratic congressman
fight the President at every step and
hinder him in carrying out his pol-
icy. We do not e1aggerate Mr..
Cleveland's ability, but he has been
placed by the party at the head of
the government. If, therefore, his
administration is failure, the party
must inevitably fail With the ads
ministration. The hands of the
President must be held up by his
party. and it is a criminal blunder
for a Democratic Con .jress to deny
him its cordial aud active support, SO
long as he stands by the principles of
his party.

0OLDSBORO, OCt, Hl,
Mr. r.Editor:-In passing through
your city to-day notice another glar-
ingimposition of the Express Com
pany upon the fish and oyster deal.
ers Of Newbern aud Morehead City.
Fiftyssix boxes of fish, shipped to
various points in North and
Sou~h Carolina, Virginia aud West
Virginia, were left standing along
the railroad track in the hot .broiling
sun for two hours, while the water
from the melted Ice ran to the curbs
ing. Thus will leave the fish unfit
for use at their destination, and en-
tail great loss in money and reputa-
ton to the shippers. Is there not
some redress for such wrong?
From reliable authority, l learn
the sa ne thing happened yesterday.
and it appears to me that the rate
charged BY the express company
should make them liable for plenary
damages in the matter. I am con.
vinced any effort The ARGUS may
make to right this wrong will be
greatly appreciated by the entire fish
interests of the State.

Estimating the population st 67,e
196,0O0, which it would be at a
ratio of increase fer the past der
cade, this gives Us a per capita cir
culaticn of $25.01.
The Popu}ist orators and agitators
havea habit ofdcclaring that the cir
cnlation is only $14 per capita. The
figures prove how wild are their
assertions The contention that
the per capita circulation at the
close Of the war was $50 is grossly
misleading. IN this calculation
are included the compound inter~
est notes, the 5 per cent legal
tender notes and the 7,3O notes of
the government which made up
fully two-thirds OF the alleged cir
culation in 1866.
These notes had been issued by
the goveInment in payment OF sal-
aries and other expenses, but they
were generally withdrawn from
circulation at the close of the war
and cannot be counted as circulate
ing money in 1866. The actual
per capita circulation at that time
did not exceed 500. Not only is
the amount OF our money greater

Work Wen Done.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph,
Mr.. Fairs free text book bill has pass
ed the House Just as the Telegraph pre-
dicted it would. There was a stiff fight
made against 1t by alleged friends Of the
Book Trust, and the specious argument
was made that the bill will work for the
best interests Of the Book Trust, mas
much as il will give the Trust the oppor-
tunity to charge inst whatever price it
chooses for the books. We do not believe
a word oft. The moment the Trust tries
to put up heprice Of books, that moment
the State Of Pennsylvania goes into the
school book printing business and the
Book Trust goes out Of business in this
State.
Already there is talk ofthe State print
I ing the school books, and IT would take
very little argument in the next two
I years to prepare the public mind TO de-
mand that printing Office be establish
ed 70 that end.
There are at present ., 49, schools in
Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia,
and these will all be benefited by tie
/ passage Of the new bill. It viii help the
wort. Y poor who cannot send their chill
dren TO school because shey cannot afford
to buy text BOOKS for them. 4 promi-
nent member Of the Legislature, who
Z very cheerfally cast his vote for the free
( book bin, said in the hearing Of a mum.
Der Of his fsllow-members that when be
was a boy his parents could send him to
school but three years for the reason that
they were too poor to buy the books for
him. Fortunately he got an education
in the poor mans college-the printing
ofiice-and he remembered mis- sad expe
rience at school when the free text book
bin came up. Many a lad nov grown to
manhood had the same experience. Ma
ny a parent, struggling along in poverty,
has had to skimp and pinch and prae
tice the most rigid economy in order hat
the children might have the necessary
books for their education. Under the
free text book bin this will al pass
away. Children sent TO school will be
sure Of the books, and there viii be no
staying at home because the means for an
/ education are not furnished.
The billis now in the Senate, and that
body ought to pass it without any delay
It is measure demanded by the people
and their voice ought TO be heard.
