The ADVANCE GUARD.

What CLEAN Is in the mountain pass,
What glamor born Of aery flame,
What skeen of golden spears that steal
Along the way the south wind came2
Now tossing every gilded plume,
Out on the open see them swarm,
Their vast battalions just beyond
The scouts ct frost and whirling
storm!
Sweet Summer from her purple seat
Sees them and shivers with alright
Their bright encampment gilds the field,
Alas, her day of doom and blight!
What matters all YOU dusty glow,
Your glancing cheer, your laughing
nod?-
You brig the downfall of delight,
Unwelcome flower, o Golden-rodl

a SFECTACLE.
Chicago Dispatch .

j We agree with the Atlanta Journal
when it says, tha5 the United States
Senate and the country were treated
to beautiful spectacle Monday.
1t was the attack Of Senator Stew
art on President Cleveland.
Stewart is the noisiezt and most
rampant of the little group of Senas
tors who are ohstructing legislation
on which the revival of the country's
prosperity depends. Stewart and
some Of his allies in this business
have what they consider good rea-
sons for their conduct. In the case
of Stewart these reasons are espe-
cially strong. He is the attorney Of
the silver miners who want to unload
their product on the government.
The more silver they sell the better
it will be for Stewart. The SenaS
tors wife is the owner of consider
able silver mine stock and the pros
pect that the government will not
protect it is very irritating to the
Senator.
Stewart is one Of the senator's from
the rottenborough State Of Nevada,
which has a very small population
and where senatorial commissions
are regularly bought and sold.
Considering how little this man
represents, it seems the sublimity OF
gall that he should assail President
Cleyeland's official conduct and i'm
pugn the motives by which it is G,
rected. The people of the United
States, regardless of political affilias
tions, have confidence in the integ
rity of Grover Cleveland. They be-
lieve that he does what he thinks Ii
right without regard to criticism c.
clamor. Such attacks as that O.
Stewart only provoke the public
contempt for those who make them
One of the things for which this
free silver attorney abused the Presi-
dent was that he never had ''libera
education"
1t is not often in this free countr,
that man who has risen on his Owl
merits and by reason of great publ
services is held up to ridicule be
cause in his youth he was denied tn
privilege of college training
Neither Washington, nor jackson
nor Lincoln had such liberal edu
cation as Stewart thinks necessary
fit man for the presidency, and Ye
they all left deep marks in thei
country's history. We don't kno'
what sort!of an education Stewal
has, but it appears that he has dc
voted most of his time and study t
the Development of his brazep chez
and his everlasting tongue.

FATE.

One heart must ache and the other re-
joice;
1t is so the wide world over;
You shall marry the one OF your choice,
But must be sad rover,
You shall bask in pleasure, know,
And you life be sweet and merry;
But I down the vally of pain must go
With leaden beart and weary.
Whya 'Tis a mystery strange unto man
And we can only discover
1t has been so since the world began;
It must be so till it's overi
Then sweet must be that rest in the end
That follows life's "fitful fever,'
When shall fold my tired hands, dear
friend,
In that dreamless sleep forever!

A Pleasant Evening.

NEwBERN. N. c., Sept. 80. 1898.
Editor of Arg1s:-One of the
most pleasant incidents of the
opening Of the Fall and Winter
pleasures of Newbern's society was
the german at the Hotel Albert on
the night of Sept. 29th. While
the attendance was not superfuous,
it was large enough and of eclat to
lend most prestige and pleasure to
the occasion.
If the parsonage of this opening
of the dawning season be an indis
cation Of what is to follow during
the winter, Newbern's society can
congratulate itself.
The gentlemen were in full dress,
while the costumes of the ladies'
most apropos, but indescriab BILE,
were elegant.

CLEVELAND SPEAKS AGAIN.

We publish in another column
THE morning letter from Presi-
dent Cleveland to Governor Northen,
of Georgia, that carries its own COM
ment-and needs none other. In that
letter the President brushes away all
the himsy arguments of those who
oppose the repeal of the Sherman
act and states in very forcible way
the reasons why he stands, as every
honest man should stand, for honest
money and gives very clear expo
sition of the financial plank in the
Democratic platform. The first
declaration of this part Of the plat
form is an unqualified demand for
repeal of the Sherman act.
The second part calls for bimetal-
iism on the basis of the equal in
trinslc and exchangeable value of
the two metals to be reached either
by international agreement or proper
safeg yards of legislation. In his
letter the President presents this in
terse, forcible terms.
All Democrats who want to stand
by the platform ought to unite first
in repeating the Sherman act and
then do tEeir best to reach an agree
ment on the other alternative prop.
ositions concerning free coinage. l.
is hard to see how any other inter
probation than that offered by Mr.
Cleveland cal be given to the Dem
ocratic platform Its language il
clear enough to be understood by the
waY-faring man, and those who
pretend to see in it declaration ii
favor of unconditional free silyel
coinage are merely trying to bolste1
up weak cause by strained inter
probation.
The issue was made squarely il
the committee on resolutions at Chi
cago. Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado
offered free silver plank and it wa
overwhelmin 3ly voted down. Th
conditions on which the party favor
the free coinage of silver are dis
tinctly set forth in the resolutions a
finally adopted. But first of all o.
the financial question the platform
calls for the unconditional repeal O
the Sherman act. It is time for tn
| Democratic senators who are fightin
repeal to get on the platform; an
may they speedily hearken to thes
concluding words of Presiden
J Cleveland's letter in this issue
"My daily prayer is that the della
occasioned by such opposition ma
not be the cause of plunging th
country into deeper depression tha
it has yet known, and that the Den
ocratic party may not be justly hel
responsible for such catastrophe.' u

TIE LILY AND THE LOTUS,

There grew flower in Babylon
Whose perfume makes young lovel
weep,
On it Assyrain moonlight shone;
Euphratcs murmured it to sleep,
1t brings back old forgotten dreams;
It's petals breathe dead loves kiss,
Astarte bathed it in her beams
In the gardens of Semiram1s,
But Egypt has sweeter bloom
The lotus of forgetful breath,
Swathed and embalmed in spiced gloom
The sad Nile sobbed its dreams to
death,
1t soothes remembered loves to rest
As quiet as deaths waxen lid,
They laid it Oil Nitocris' breast
Beneath her silent pyramid.

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING

Have you humors, causing b1otches?
Does your blood run thick and sluggish?
Are you drowsy dull and lanquid?
Is a bad taste in your mouth, and
Is your tongue all furred and coated?
Is your sleep with bad dreams broken?
Do you feel downhearted, dismal,
Dreading something what you know not I?
Then be very sure you're bilioas-
That you have torpid liver.
and what you need is something to rouse
it and maze it active enough to throw off
the impurities that clog it; something to
invigorate the debilitated system, and help
all the organs to perform the duties exs
pected of;them, promptly and energetica1~
". That something is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the great Blood Puri-
f1er, which its proprietors have such faith
in that they guarar tee it to cure. If 1t does
not, your NOR ey viii be refunded. But it

pudding is in the eating, the proof of this
remedy is in the taking,

Eyes are the most certain res
yealers Of the criminal nature.
Many an expert detective tells
criminal by just cne giance-not
at him, but from him. The crimi-
nal eye varies greatly in setting,
but not so much in color. Somes
times it is deeply placed in the
head as it it tried to hide, fearing
the result of its own voluntary
revelations. Sometimes it is bulgy,
protrusiye like frogs and heavily
lidded. Such eyes. taken in cons
nection with some other signs, de-
note treachery, lechery, loquacity,
mendacity and general cruelty,
with iust enough cowardice TO pres
dent the criminal from doing mnr-
yer except insidiously through
others.
Of the criminal eye there are
many remarkable anecdotes. The
murderer Francesconi had little
about him to Indicate the ferocity
that ambushed in his breast. His
forehead was high and smooth, his
beard was plentiful, To most
people he rem dered himself rather
companionable by a certain cheap
facetiousness that often masqners
ades as wit, and on account OF this
social quality Francesconi's conceit
was tolerated, and his huge egot-
ism did not have its full chance to
repel people. But years before his
crime young girl-afterward the
Countess della Rocca-who had
never left home and who lacked
experience of life, recoilcd from
him violently when introduced,
and refused TO endure his presence
When questioned why she behaved
thus toward one who stood so high
socially she answered: "If that
man has not already murdered
people, he will do So" This girl.

WE always liked the style Of protec-
ton arguments. They are always so
fresh and so redolent with simplicity so
willing to contradict themselves with an
audacity Of tergiversativeness that proves
vast and comprehensive innocence Of
thought and refusal TO learn that they
are humorous 10 degree unspeakable.
Here, for instance, is beautifully grsdu
Rted argument to show that cotton mills
will shut down because they expect
Congress to reduce the duties on WOODEN
goods This is called IAN Object
Lesson, and is bit OF philosophy from
the Daily Republican It says:
Here Is a short, sharp but decisive
lesson Ia politics and business The
ottou mills Of New England are nearly
all closing down because they have no
orders for goods They have no orders
for goods because the jobbers are not
buying fhe jobbers are not buying be-
cause the retailers not are IN the market,
ex ept for the most necessary grades.
The retailers are not In the market be-
ause they expect Congress to reduce he
iufy on woolen goods ard hey are not
goiug 10 lay in stocks which may later
be- uuderso by free trade goods The
people elected the Congress Thus ~ is
not difficult TO place the responsibility
for the shut down OF sush others AS may
yet follow
Cotton sells At free trade prices, that
is the raw material OF the cotton mills,
not wool II the negroes can compete in
he cotton field, with six months labor,
sgainst the psuper labor OF India and
Egypt why cannot the Ohio wool grower
With no labor compete with the Austral
Tau protected clipl We do not suppose
the wisdom Of that gently graduated
argument affects anybody's conviO-
lions, but It Is q sample argument from
that source II would be calamity II
we substituted wooden clothes foi
