years and that the free coinage Of
silver is neither expected nor de-

The Times favors the i:nmed~
late abandonment of silver Iur-
chases, and argues that the best

lief would be to supply the needed
currency by means of credit based
on securities.
The Times truly says that "the
quality of money is a far greater
thing than its quantity" and 1t be-
lieves that the silver standard, to
which free coinage would bring us,
would only result in paralyzing
credit, robbing wage-earners who
are paid in stated sums, and forfeit

Editor Argus:-As the time APP
proaches for the choice of a Board
of Alderman,it is oppertune to act
discreetly. 1t sometimes happens
that Aldermen elected, who want
to be Mayor thwart the wishes of
the people in voting at random exA

themselves. The voterselecs nine
Aldermen and the..choice OF Mayor
and policemen and other officers
is a matter to be determined by
them.
1t is supposed that public senti-
ment as expressed by the best peos
pie of the town would not be
blindly ignored. And when of.
fl ,ers are thus elected it ought to
be as ear public. sentiment as is
possible for nine men to acqnaint

Death of Maj.Devereux.

W. are panied to announce the
death of Mai John Devereux, who
passed away quietly, after a linger-
ing illness, yesterday at 1 O'Clock,
in the the 18th year of his age.
Maj. Devereux was the son of
Col. Thomas P. Devereux, who was
one of the most intellectual and
best equipped of that fine galaxy of
polished gentlemen who adorned
social life in Nor b Carolina before
the war. He was early in lie given
large interests to manage, and his
management was distinguished by
rare judgment and energy. The
results of the war, however, swep;
away his inheritance. and Major
Deyereux at once. without r pinr
ing, began to devote himself as.
siduously to such occupations as
circumstances permitted,
During the war he was Quarter
master for the State and his meth.
odical habits and clearness of ap.
prehension made bis services in
valuable. No man stood higher for
integrity of charcter, and but few
were possessed of such general in-
formation as Maj. Devereux. He
was universally esteemed. Kindly
in disposition, generously endowed
by nature with social gifts. and a
finely cultivated gentleman, he
united in his person many virtues
that endeared him to his intimatee
and friends. He will be greatly
missed in our community.
Early in life Maj, Devereux mar
ried Mise Margaret Mordecai, o.
this city, who together with a large
family survives him, and the warn
sympathy OF the entire community
goes out to them in their sad be,

THE FOREIGNER AND THE NEGRO

The New York Press, which is
always seeking to console its party
for its defeat last fall by abusing the
South, now brings forward the
charge that the reason we DO not
secure more immigration is that cur
hide bound "Bourbonism" repels
strangers. It says that "of the 375.-
900 immigrants who came to this
country last year only 166 went to
South Carolina, $50 to North Caro-
lima, 800 to Georgia, 279 to Ala
bama, 242 to Florida, 39S to Ten
nessee; 359 to Arkansas, 551 to
Louisiana, 1928 to Virginia, and 2O1
to Mississippi. No one in a hun
dred Of the arrivals was destined for
the southern states, while thousands
upon Thousands focked to the far
West ard other multitudes sought
homes in the comparatively over
crowded North and East"
These figures may be true; they
probably are, but they do not prove
that "Bourbonism" exists in the
South, or if it does exist that il
drives immigrants away. Very few
foreigners have ever heard of "Bour-
bonlsm,"but they have heard that in
the South unskilled laborers, agri-
cultural laborers especially, are
thrown into competition with ne
groes. Hence foreign laborers avoid
the South. It is a fact also, that
while few of the southern states
have homestead lands to offer immi-
grants, the States and the railroad
companies in the West, as the OBJ,
jects of Line nations munifcent
bounty, have plenty Of such lands.
The Press does not give the fig
ures for Texas; doubtless because
they would prove too much. There
is as much B~ourbonism (rock>llb.
bed Democracy there as anywhere
in the South or Southwest. but be-
cause the State can offer great in.
ducement to immigrants, free lands,
and high prices for labor, its popu-
lation is increasing with astounding
rapidlty.
We regret to say that our attrac.
tions in this respect have never beer
well advertised. Indeed, only in {
few ways can advertising serve US
and the most effective method il
through letters written or small
pamphlets endorsed and mailed By
foreigners now settled here. Pom.
derous volumes, statistics, and his.
tory will be of no avail. What the
immigrant wishes to know is if the
climate is temperate and if it IS {
country where he can make a good
living. and have a pleasant home fol
himself and family.
The South has grossly neglected
her immigration interests. It Is
now time for us to adopt a different
course, and what that course shoulG
be We believe can best be determined

representative foreigners now citi

ElaHT YEARS OLD.

Eight years ago, on Tuesday
April Z. 1885, was printed the first
number of The DAILY ARGUS.
Eight years is not a long period in
the life ola community like this;
but what great changes have oc-
Cured within that time can be
appreciated only by those who
have been resident all the while
and Stand this morning and retror
spect the progress, in an hundred
ways. that has been accomplished
as the years rolled by. So many Of
Us 60 on from day to day absorbed in
the pursuit of our individual avo-
cations that We scarcely realize
that every city that is really living
is renewing itself continually, and
it is only by occasional cornpari
sons with the past that we can
measure tie progress already
made.
The newspaper ia, after all, but
a reflex of the community in which
it lives. This is true the world
over, and civic pride. and civic
spirit can always be accurately
sized up, and the efforts being
made in every branch of CONNER
cial, intellectual and corporate
activity fairly adjudged through
the columns of the local papers.
Eight years ago, when this
writer first launched THE ARGUS
upon the tide of public favor and
allied it's destiny with that Of its
people it was considered a ven
turesome move to undertake 6

Of our fellow citizen were sanguine
enough to expect it TO survive
many weeks. 1t had been tried
before in Goldsboro, from time t.
time, and had failed. That eighr

The Horse show at Congress Rink.

The star kickers of the week were at
the horse show last evening. There was
more fun than a circus for two solid
hours and the audience enjoyed every
minute of the time. One of the kickers
had never been driven, in single harness
before, and when the Tin pan was fast
ened to the back strap of the harness he
made things very lively for about 20
minutes, giving Prof. Beaver all he could
do to bring him under control. There
were two other horses handled, one a
very nervous animal and the other bad
shyer and runaway. The runaway horse
will be driven either tonight or Saturday
evening up to exploding fire crackers
and flying paper by Mrs. o. R. Gleason,
showing the wonderful improvement in
the animal. The programme for this
evening will be good one, including the
handling of a bad plunger and a halter
puller. very nervous animal, afraid of
his own shadow, perfectly wild bronco
and two vicious kickers.

THE OLD ROMAN SENATE.
Its Oh Igin, Growth and Process of Gravita-
tion to the Eternal City.

Its o. I,in, Growth and Process of Gravita-
tion to the Eternal City.
We read in many of our histories of
Rome that Romulus founded the senate
and gave to it itstoriginal functions This
would be good capstonefo his glory, but
unfortunately for him the senate was
primitive institution, common to all the
Latins, and reached back to period long
anterior to the separation of the stocks.
In the comparatively early history of the
Latin race there was a natural division in
to tribes OF tribal families-not' indepen-
dent social units, but integral parts of
political community held together by
mutual observance of law, legal redress,
and united action in effense and defense.
A fixed local center was essential, at which
the people could assemble to make laws
and to defend themselves against COM
mon foe.
The situation most favorable for this
purpose would be some elevated position,
which was called "capitolium," from
'tcaput, " the head; hence our word cap
itol From this eminence the cognate
tribes could be summoned by signals, usu-
ally the lowering of flag. This custom
Of keeping flag waving while no danger
was near continued for several centuries
at Rome, until it was considered guar
antee of peace and harmony, and all felt
secure as long as the flag foated from the
Janiculum hill RI is interesting to note
in this connection that flag may be
seen above our houses of congress as long
as these bodies are in session.
At this point, in she earlier days, a
large encampment would be formed, and
as the sessions became more frequent the
camp would take on permanency and fin
| ally become a city-the chief city in the
canton, the capital. AS the population
| increased and industrial avocations grew
| it was deemed best to have fixed time for
assem- bling, and SO the eighth day was
| set as the regular time for meeting for in
tercourse, sacrifices and the transaction of
| business.
By and by the cantons became inter
dependent, and questions of common veal
arose, resulting in a league or confedera-
ton of clans. AS this time the council
met first with one canton, then with
another, having in each case as presiding
| officer the chief Of the clan within whose
territory lay the meeting place. This
wandering finally led to confusion, and by
common consent a central point, Mount
| Alba, became the sole meeting place, and
thus Rome was the capital. -Peterson' s

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
PORTLAND, MAINE.

At this festive season of the year, a
season at which each man vies with
his neighbor in the making of some gift
the members Of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
beneicence and solidity Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the breadwinner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t does
not require any very vivid fight of
imagination to comprehend the possible
ties of ffty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance; whereas, similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through policy in the Union Mutual,
a possession which no family should lack
but one which should be treasured in
every home. dec23eodtf
