CAN ANY BE DECEIVED.
Buffers LittIeness Made Manifest
in his Own Paper.

Hon. F. M. Simmons and Mr..
Marion Butler had a debate a
few weeks ago at Jordon's store,
in this county, which was re-
ported the next day in THE
ARGUS, showing how utterly
and completely Butler had failed
to answer the overwhelming ar
guments of Mr.. Simmons and
the great delight and rejoicings
of the Democrats that he had
completely demolished the leader
of the Populists.
Butler having been utterly
routed and unable to answer on
the day of the debate, and smart
ing under his defeat, conceived
the brilliant idea of writing a
brief little speech for Mr.. Sim
mons, publishing it in his paper
as the speech made by Mr.. Sim
mons, and then answering this
sham and fictitious article in his
owl columns. He has already
devoted a good part of two issues
of his paper and will, he says.
continue it in this weeks paper,
giving his answer to the speech
he has written himself for Mr.
Simmons.
Neither of the two speeches he
has written and is now publish
ing and trying to get off on his
readers as the genuine speeches
of Mr.. Simmons and himself,
made at the time of the debate,
have, we learn from a number OF
persons who heard them, scar
cely a resemblance to the
speeches then made.
Butler did not and could not
successfully answer Mr.. Sim
mons speech in the debate,
neither can he do it after weeks
of study and reflection, because,
the real speech made by him is
unanswerable; SO Butler Gun
ningly sets up a bogus speech in
his own paper and proceeds tC
answer it with posthumus argu.
mentS.
The performance is very dis
creditable to Butler and to jour
nalism, because it is not honest
hBut it is in keeping with the
fraud, hypocrisy and falsehooe
which has all along characterized
his party. We have seen a GOOD
many who heard the speeches il
Question, and there is but one
opinion, as far as we have heard
and that is that Simmons gave
Butler a fogging which he wi.
not forget or forgive if he lives
thousand years. The Democrat!
of Grantham's township ar
greatly delighted over the resul
of the debate and say it mad
many votes for our party.

The Crisis.

The sensational news from
Germany shows once more of
what lordly stuff Wilhelm is
made, and upon what slapdash
principles he governs. The pres
ent is probably the worst NOM
ent for a Cabinet crisis that
Europe has cen for some years,
and anywhere but in Germany
the first care of either constitu-
tlonal monarch or irresponsible
autocrat would be to patch up
Cabinet differences until the gen
|eral situation should settle. That
is not Wilhelm's way. The long
struggle between Caprivi and
Count Botho Zu Gutenberg over
the proper method of dealing
with the question of Socialism
having come to a head at the
moment that the political wealth
er prophets are hosting storm
signals on account of the i'm
Ipending death of the Gar, the
Emperor is not at all disturbed
lby the alarming coincidence, but
|cuts the knots by discharging
both his contending advisers and
to rearrange the Ger
man Government with magnifi-
Icent unconcern as to the threat
enings without.
This. at least is the only ex-
Iplanation possible at this distance
aud in the absence of precise de-
tails; but it is not likely to be
loverthrown by later informa-
Ition, for it is incredible that the
chancellor and the President OF
the Prussian Council should have
thrown diplomatic considerations
to the winds of their own motion.
Neither of them is either genius
Tor mailman enough for that.
But Wilhelm is; and it is just
POSSIBLE that his extraordinary
impetuosity and self-confdence,
while they are certainly the
means of superinducing an ap.
parent political crisis, may be
the means of avoiding a real
constitutional peril. Certainly
he has already done much il
combining the two offices Of
chancellor and the President
which have no rivalry-and il

Death of w. F. KOrnegay.

Just as we go to press this
Wednesday noon) the entire city
is startled and deeply saddeued
by the sudden death of our es-
teemed and venerable townsman
Mr.. w. F. Kornegay, who. while
attending service in ST. Paul
church this morning at 1890
o'clock, suddenly died in his
pew, doubtless of heart disease.
Death was instant.
With him life was a service of
his Master in all his walks and
relations with his fellow men,
and he died where he must have
most desired to die, in the tenn
pie of his worship.
In our next issue we will pay
due tribute to the lamented de
ceased.
His remains, at this writing,
have been borne to his home and
are being prepared for burial.

WHAT A COMBINATION!

The Populist party has always
denounced the Republican party
as the author of all the Ubiquitous
legislation that has been en-
acted since 1860, as the author
of all the class legislation which
has afflicted the country, and as
the special champion of trusts
and monopolies.
In view of the attempted fusion
of the Populists and Republicans
in North Carolina, and i'll order
that our Populist friends may
see what the Republicans think
about them, we publish the fol
lowing extract from the Repub-
lican Campaign Text Book for
1894, prepared by the National
Republican Congressional Com
mittee, pages 239 and 300
1.-The objections which present
themselves to this party (Popu-
list and it's demands are:
1. That, being based on an
assumption of the poverty and
restitution of the masses, it is in
danger of becoming an organized
attack on all rights of private
property and must end in Anar.
ichv or Communism, No one
should enter the party who is
not prepared to follow it to one
or the other Of these extremes.
3. That, being an attempt tC
organize one class of citizens
against another class, laborers
against capitalists, it must lead
to more pronounced conflicts, ag
gregate all the evils of organized
lockouts and strikes, and tends
to civil war, not to peace.
3. That, being based or
charges of universal corruption
and fraud, it tends to break dowr
all confidence of man in man
and begets the very corruption
it charges, in it's own followers
as we'll as others. Evil grows il
him who evil thinks. The shor1
experience of this party already
demonstrates its demoralizing in
fuence.
That, whilst charging univer
sal corruption upon all branches
of the Government, Nationa
and State, it proposes to infin
itely multiply the means and re
wards of corruption, by multi
plying the Governmental contro
of the production and distribu
ton of wealth. When public of
fcers are charged with the Gre
alton, loaning and collecting O
almost unlimited amounts o
money; with the owning an
management of enterprises re
l quiring the employment and dis
charge of hundreds of thousand
of men; where will be the limi
q of peculation and fraud? If W
5 cannot have honest officers wit
the present very limited temp
: tations and means of stealing
what can we expect with tn
unlimited opportunities propos
: ed? Human nature will be tn
r same, and results must be
:, proportion to the means offered.

A delightful Programme in store.

Lovers of music will be delighted to hear
that Madame Jennie Lind Muller Green, the
celebrated lady organist. will give one of her
popular organ recitals at Mount Vernon Place
church. corner Ninth and L streets northwest.
on Thursday evening of this week. May 10.
Madame Green needs no introduction to a
Washington audience, having played here to
large audiences last year. Her touch and
briiiiancy are surprising, and the orchestral
effects she brings out on the organ are simply
wonderful. She will be assisted by Madame
Kate Doane, concert soprano. a lady who
ranks with the foremost sopranos of the coun-
try. having appeared in most all the leading
cities OF America except Washington. This
will be her first appearance here Mrs. Daisy
l.. Fox, concert pianist, who won for herself
considerable reputation at the Worlds Fair,
having been awarded the highest honors for
technique and brillancy of touch will also
appear. This concert and recital will be under
the direction of Prof. Lawrence, the we'll
known musical director, and a grand chorus
of fifty voices will sing some fine numbers, in
cluding the Hailelujah chorus from Messiah
and Damascus Triumphial March from the
Oratorio Naaman.

The Chicago Times Comments Editorially

The mounted police Of Washington proved to

heinous crime Of delivering addresses from the

down by mounted police because they sought TO

Johanna ere brought together IL was the first
time that male and female gorilla had ever
been exhibited. One gorilla would seem to
be quite enough, but in securing two Mr.. Bailey
has made sure Of an attraction which no one can
duplicate.
