The Treaty With Russia.

The publication of the complete
text of the extradiction treaty with
Russia leaves the disinteresied
reader more than ever at loss to
understand the howl that Mr..
Kennan and his Rnssophobiac
friends have stirred up against it.
To begin with, treaty is only a
promise to do certain things if they
appear to be the right things
TO do in any given case, and no exS
tradition treaty could bind this
country to surrender a tugatlve
who ought not to be surrendered.
But the treaty goes beyond the
general principle and expressly
provides that the surrender shall
only be made "upon such evidence
of criminality as, according to the
laws of the place where the fugIs
tive or person SO charged shall be
found, would justify his or her ap-
prehension and commitment tor
trial if the crime or offense had
been there committed. II we
surrender any one, under these
conditions, who ought not to be
surrendered, it will be our fault,
not Russia's.
Looking down the list of crimes
for which extradition is provided,
we fiud none that seems likely to
interest one side more than the
other unless it be the fabrication
of "stamps and marks of public
Administrations" which is supposed
to include counterfeiting passports,
a privilege which if claimed to be
necessary to the safety OF fugitive
Russians: Bot the fact that no
American court would surrender a
fugitive merely tor this, even II h's
surrender were asked, and 1t ne
were an actual criminal who had
forged passport to escape,it would
be the original crime and not tbe
technical forgery that would count,
The treaty explicitly provides
that it shall not apply to political
offenses, and that ''if it be made to
appear that extradition is soug ii
with view 10 try or punish the
person demanded for an ofense ct
a political character surrender shall
not take place" 1t is hard to see
how the rights Of political agitas
tors could be better guarded. 1t is,
OF course, provided that an at
tempt against the life OF the head
of either government, when the
attempt comprises murder or ass
sassination, shall not be considered
a political crime. This the dyna-
miters object to; but why should
the President or the Gar have less
protection than the meanest pris
va'e citizen?
Whether there is any particular
advantage to be gained By a treaty
of extradition with Russia; except
as step in the general advance of
civilization, may possibly be guess
toned; but the treaty itself seems
entirely unacceptable. and neither
the executive that negotiated it nor
the Senate that ratified it need
shrink from its diecussion.-PhttG.

b e church as witnesses of the
faith and channels OF divine grace.
DR.. Briggs, as his writings show
not only believes in the witness Of
the church, but he belieyes in the
Presbyterian organization as a legs
itimate. historical representative OF
the church. At this point he differs,
of course, from those who hold the
episeopate essential to historical
continuity, but not, it would seem
from the eetminister diyines tc
whose authority he appeals.
Clearly d man holding this "a ith
is Tot at liberty to walk out of his
church merely because he does not
agree with the majority, TIE
church is to him not a voluntary
association, but dey;ne institution
and the only question for him to
determine is whether the branch
into which he has been born is
what he believes it to be. If it is.
be is to stay in it and work to
bring it to a sense of its own mis-
sion, But it must be said that the
Presbyterians are making it very
hard for DR.. Briggs to do this.
The Declaration Of the General
Assembly "that reason and the
church are not to be REGARDED as
fountains Of divine authority
touches the root Of the matter. The
differences about Biblical interpre-
tation are incidental; the eiffers
ence in the point of view is fun-
damental AID radical i.

A Reasonable Demand.
Editor Argus:

Editor Argus:
DEAR SIR the city authorities
have issued notice SIC. 3, as follows
"That no person shall be allowed tc
turn their waste water on the streets
or alleys, but shall carry il off by
pipes, connecting with the nearest
sewer, under a penalty of five dol
lars for each and every day it is al
lowed to remain in unlawful condi,
ton" A most unreasonable anC
unjust requirement and bears hard
on a large majority of the citizens OF
| Goldsboro. A very large majority
can not comply with the require,
ment. How is 1t possible to convey
by pipes to sewer when there IS no
sewer?
There are in some sections of the
| city SUBJ drains. but no sewers suit.
able as receptaeles for slops and
liquid filth accumulations.
Whenever Gf every there shall be a
system of sewerage in Goldsboro,
then such an order would be reason
able after giving timely notice for
providing pipe connections, but un.
der the existing state of things it
would be gross injustice, to at
tempt to inforce such an ordinance,
In the interest of all interested,
citizens and city officials, I will re-
spectfully suggest reconsideration
and different action on the part of
our city officials.
Let every ordinance created and
orders issued be such as can be CONS
piled with or enforced if necessary,
then there will be harmany of acr
ton and no discord.
Sanitary work III the city is of
great Importance and is something
that all feel interested in and should
willingly favor and endorse when
cond acted upon practical, reasonable
and just basis.
In the absence of sewerage the
wisest and best thing to be done in
sanitary point of view and for the
preservation of health in Goldsboro,
is to see to it that bitches, drains
oshA = SN'oSls ak 3 iesoCo p1OpCliy duu
opened thoroughly for conveyance of
liquid; not only open once or twice
year or season, but every week, if
necessary: Especially during the hot
season. this is best and all that can
be done until system is established.
On premises where accumulations
become offensive to neighbors ada
cent and persons passing on streets,
as is often the case, require and de-
mand the free use of lime and other
disinfeetants.
l will, in conclusion, suggest that
our city officials or street superin.
tendent carefully inspect the CUTTERS
on East Centre street,. from Hotel to
Express office, and see if there can't
be some means devised to drain off
the stagnant liquid that has become
an eye-sore to our citizens and dis
gusting to visitors, and the travels
ing public. If the services of a
practical civil engineer is requisite
to determine and establish grades of
drains, cutters &C., then the sooner
one is employed the better for the
health and credit of Goldsboro.

JUNE.

No other month my soul can fill,
And string my heart to tune,
And make life's happiest pulses thrill
Like June, sweet June!
How perfect every length'ning hour,
How calm the sweet breathed noon,
Earth, sea and sky give bridal dover
To June, bright June!
Soft turquoise blue, the lamhent sky,
Full orbed the argent moon,
Bird, bee and stream make melody
For June, the perfect June.
Her teaty moves the heart till tears
Our aching eyelids burn;
All! long gone friends, ah! happy years
When all our life was June!
They WOO us now like haunting song,
Or half forgotten tune;
Such mystic power to thee belong,
Sweet June, sad June!

No. ITO

is that the gold reserve Of $1OO,00O,-
900 is the minimum of safety to
puLlic credit. It was nearly $100,s
100000 in excess of that amount
when Cleveland retired from office
in 1889; it was nearly $1O,0O0,O00
less than that amount when he res
turned to power in 1898.
1t is now admitted by nearly or
quite all the public journals which
supported President Harrison, that
he sacrificed public duty to polls
tical cowardice when he refused to
maintain the gold reserve and
failed to declare that it should be
maintained at any cost. Had he
done so, the present administers
ton could not have departed from
that policy; but the fact that Har-
rlson was unequal to his duties
cannot be pleaded as excuse for
Mr.. Cleveland. If it would have
been right for Harrison to sci
bonds, if necessary, to maintain
the gold reserve, it is right for
Cleveland to do it now.
The credit of the government is
as sensitive as is individual credit
in finance, commerce, industry and
trade, and it must be maintained
with the same scrupulous care.
The gold reserve of $1OO,0OO,OOO
being accepted at home and abroad
as the minimum to protect the pub
lie credit and float $346,OOO, 900 of
Tresury notes, whenever the reserve
was reduced close to that sum the
danger line was reached aud the
danger signal was seen and felt in
ry money centre of the world;
and when the reserve was per-
mitted to tall below the accepted
minimum, the government was in
the position of a national bank
that had encroached upon its legal
reserve and its credit was logically
impaired.
We cannot assume that the
President has not done the best
that could be done under all the
circumstances, as he is compelled
to view the whole field of financial
reform and act to attain the speeds
lest and best results. That he
means to do so is not doubted, and
the delicate attitude of the new
Congress on financial issues, must
be considered by the administra-
tion from the standpoint of expeda
iency. If the purchase of gold by
the sale of bonds would prejudice
the effort for sound financial poll
icy, as is quite possible, he is not
only to be excused but justified in
remandirg the whole issue to Con-
gress,
There is reason to believe that
the confidence that will be inspired
abroad by the Presidents delivers
ance will halt the decline of values,
make Europe again enter our
markets to purchase American Sc
curities, and thus stop the effiux of
gold.

THE PRESIDENTS DELI YER
ANCE.

AS the Philadelphia Times says,
the plain, straightforward deliver
ance of President Cleveland has
accomplished much good by leave
ing none in doubt as to the fnan~
cial policy of the administration.
There is no possibility of misunder-
standing the resolute purpose OF
the administration to recall the
government to sound financial
basis and to maintain the public
credit at every hazard.
The emphatic declaration of the
President has halted distrust both
at home and abroad. Foreign lne
vestors in American securities have
the positive assurance of our gove
ernment that the degradation OF
our money by the policy of the
free silver craze must speedily end:
and that is the one assurance that
must most inspire confidence
abroad in the safety of American
investments.
So far the action of the President
meets the emergency broadly and
fully; but there is very general
belief in legitimate business circles
that he could have accomplished
greater good by at once bringing
the gold reserve above the danger-
line and declaring that it would be
SO maintained.s
The government is now under a
seEerer strain to maintain its credit
than are our general business ina
terests. In former financial troubles
since the war, the government has
held a large surplus of money that
was thus withdrawn from the
channels of trade, and it could af,
ford relief by the purchase Of bonds
to difuse the money among the
people, Now the government ia
substantially bankrupt, and it has
no boarded money to throw into
the breach; but it has resources in
reserved bonds, to maintain the
gold reserve and thus maintain the
public credit.

ness circles alike in this countr,
and in the money centres OF Europe

minutes after the crash the wives,
mothers and daughters of the vict-
inns began to arrive. Within a very
few moments hundreds or more Of
men, stripped for the hot work,
jumped into the building and be-
gan throwing ont the wreckage in
front and under the floors which
remained standing in the rear.
Those who were early ON the scene
found the body OF a colored man
in the alley in the rear of the
building, where John Wilkes Booth
had his horse tethered the night
he killed Lincoln. This was George
M. Arnold, well known colored
clerk, appointed from Virginia.
He had been seen at the third
story window. He was warned not
to jump, but despite the protesta-
tions of numbers of people he
climbed out, and lowering himself
from the sill let go. He fell upon
the cobblestoned alley, striking on
his head, and was instantly killed.
The list Of the dead is as follows.

In the list of the injured there

A body found shortly after 5
O'Clock was vaguely identified to-
night as DR., Nelson.
Laborers did not cease theil
efforts until about Z o'clock
By this time they had reached
the bottom of the excavation
in the basement, and further
search seemed useless, as the
debris in all parts of the building
had been entirely cleared away
Some held that 2 laborers who were
at work in the basement al
the time of the accident were still
missing, but as the search had been
so thorough, nothing to warrant its
continuance could be shown. But
one body, that Of DR.. Nelson.
was found during the last seven
hours of the search, and those ins
charge of the work think it inns
possible that more remains in the
ruins. Work was therefore stopped,
the streets roped close to the
building, aud police guard stas
toned there for the night.

George P. Howell, of this City, Graduates
With First Honors From West Point.

with E1rSC HOnOfS From west Point.
The gratifying intelligence con-
tanned in yesterdays AReUs,that our
young friend and townsman George
Pierce Howell, second son of Capt.
and Mrs. r. P. Howell, heads the
graduating class of the U. S. Acade-
my at West Point and easily takes
first honors, is an announcement
that should and does bring pecul-
lar thrill Of pride to every citizen in
Goldsboro, while at the same time
carrying pleasure to every citizen of
North Carolina.
To win first honors in a gradual
ing class from West Point means
more than a temporary distinction :
1t attracts the eyes of all nations
and holds their recollection through
the rolling years, for to the credit of
our great country be it said that no
institution n-of its kind in the world
stands abreast of West Point,
and no where else is true merit
more equitably rewarded or the
stuff that makes the man and
wins the contest more thoroughly
tested through all the years of its
complete and searching course of
study and physical and moral train
ing. Consequently the high dis-
tinction that has been won by Mr..
Howell not only secures for him
widespread admiration but sheds
lustre upon the home where his
character was formed aud the mother
who gave him his early training
and prepared him for an advanced
school course, as well as upon the
teachers who took up the work
where she left off and brought it on
up to its brilliant elimination of
which we are now writing.
Not before in over half a century
has this honor been won by a North
Carolina boy, and only twice before
in the history of the institution. 1t
was carried off in 1888 by VIM. H.
Wright, and before him by Alfred
Mordecai, in 1928: and now by our
Goldsboro boy-and the youngest
ever graduated from the academy,
being just 20 years of age.
Congratulations are in order all
round, and none are more hearty
than those of The ARGUS.

A Speculation on Death,

When the typhoid fever epidemic
was at its height, when cases were
being reported daily and everybody
expected that there would be many
deaths from the disease, one local
flower firm decided to make a specu.
lation on death, 1t was figured out
that there would be an unusual number
of deaths, and that this would cause a
demand for an unusual number Of
floral pieces In the manufacture of
floral pieces moss is an absolute neces,
sity, and the peculiar kind that is used
comes from Oregon and Washington.
The firm in question thought to make
a speculation by ordering a quantity of
this moss early and running a corner
in it, The moss has arrived and has
been placed in storage. But out of all
the cases of typhoid fever the deaths
have numbered less than twenty-five,
and there is one firm that has moss
enough on hand for several years.

Concert and Dance.

There was fashionable throng in
the lanai and Oh the parlor veranda
of the Hawaiian Hotel last night, in
attendance on the complimentary
band concert to visitors leaving by
the steamer Australia to-day. A
goodly number of people were as
sembled on the grounds around the
band stand, who cheered the some
what novel music given by the p. G..
band led by Professor Berger. The
music consisted largely of sterling
old airs with variations, medleys,
etc, making an agreeable change
from the stereotyped old programs.
Before the close of the concert heavy
rain fell. causing a dispersal without
ceremony of the outside auditors.
The bands program was neverthe-
less played through without the
omission of a number. This is
straight news, any previously pub
lished report to the contrary not
withstanding) After the concert a
dance was enjoyed in the parlor, by
the devotees of that pastime.

:. BURGLARY IN THE SUBURBS.
The House of Chinaman at Wal
kiki Plundered.

A Chinaman, who takee care of a
fish pond at Waikiki belonging to
Mr.. Jno. Ena, reported at the Police
Station this forenoon that his house
had been entered by someone about
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, while
he was absent attending to the pond.
Among the articles missing on his
return were one gold ring, pair of
bracelets and clothing, the whole
valued at $50. These were all taken
from his trunk, which was pried
open.
The Chinese in the neighborhood
of where the burglary was commit
ted suspected that it is some of the
work of Kun Wun, the Chinaman
who escaped from o hu Prison some
time ago. 1t is reported that that
notorious character had been seen
by fellow countrymen at Waikiki
who we're too timid to tackle or in
form on him.
