WHY the Gold Outflow Ceased.

In it's issue Of February 16, the
Financial Chronicle describes the
change produced in the financial
outlook by Secretary Carlisle's
arrangement with a syndicate
for a new strengthening Of the
gold reserve as truly marvel
GUS" For a time the situation
was critical. 1.-TWO weeks ago
last Thursday" says the Chron-
icle, twas, indeed, a black day;
the more timid had become thor
oughly alarmed. In conserva-
tive circles it was felt that our
currency and all values were in
great peril" The cause was the
rapidity with which the gold pro-
ceeds from the last ffty-million-
dollar bond sale had gone into
and out of the Treasury. It was
seen that not only was gold be.
ing taken for export at a fast
rate, but it was being withdrawn
also for domestic boarding. Just
then "a powerful influence" says
the Chronicle, was secured, auo
but for this action cit is ques.
tionable whether the Treasury
could have sustained itself an.
other week" AS soon as it was
announced that there was a con.
tract between the government
and the New York and London
banking-houses for a supply Of
gold then followed the drop in
foreign exchange, the cancelins

export of gold and the return to

The Defective English Constitution

The Defective English Constitution.
In his recent speech in London
Lord Salisbury lamented Eng
lands want of constitution such
as ours to give stability to her
institutions and prevent radical
changes about which the people
have not been consulted. Eng
lands only way to obtain the
country's opinion on a given pro-
posal is to dissolve Parliament,
and go into general election on
that particular issue. A Parlia-
ment may go on altering the con-
stitution long after it has ceased
to be in accord with public opin-
ion. Just here. Lord Salisbury
contends. the Lords are useful.
They put a veto upon propo-
sails they think the majority of
the people dislike. They do not
undertake to defeat changes the
people clearly voted for. They
would not dare to do that. The
conservative contention, in fact,
is that the House of Lords has
never refused to approve a meas
ure after public opinion, as ex-
pressed at the polls, has shown
itself to be clearly in its favor.
Just at present Lord Salisbury
thinks his parry would win if a
general election should be held.
Hence his desire to induce Lord
Rosebery to consult the people.
If be were in the premier's shoes
he would probably like him,
hold on to Office as long as posi-
ble.-Bdltimore Sun.

THE ARGUS is in receipt of a
copy of the schedules of pay the
Southern Railway Company pro-
poses to give its Engineers, Fire
men, Conductors and Trainmen
after May 1st, next, unless latter
consideration they shall agree
upon an earlier date therefor
No reductions of present pay
are made, as THE ARGUS under
stands, and considering the uni
versal business depression, the
compensation offered seems rea-
sonable and fair. and many in
CAPABILITIES in pay and service, it
is claimed, have been adjusted.
THE ARGUS wants to see the
men make as much money as
possible during the year of
1895, consistent with justice, and
earnestly hopes that harmony
may continue between them and
the road. It appears, with the
lights now before THE ARGUS
that the wise course for the
Committees in Washington is to
accept the chances at least until
better times shall come. The bus
mess situation now is too critical
for disagreements or dissen-
sions.

A SHIP OF A
Two Men, a Woman and a Child Frozen to
Death on Pamlico River.

Two Men, a woman ana a Cn11u FROZEN Co
Death on Pam1ico River.
A sad story of tho freeze comes
in a letter from Washington,
Beaufort county. One day last
week a small sail boat was found
idly drifting on the waters of
Pamlico river. No hand held
the rudder and the sails tapped
and spread as the wind willed.
In the little cabin two men, a wo-
man and a little child lay dead.
The bodies were frozen, and the
ice had crusted the glazed eyes.
Their names were unknown.
They had sailed into the sea OF
silence on the ship of death.
When the freeze came on they
must have been out in the sound,
with their little ship headed to.
ward the river. They doubtless
fell asleep during the night and
the f-e went out. And the SLEEP
, of nature passed into the frozer
sleep of death.

DEATH has been a prominent
element in the making of history
in Hawaii as elsewhere. Capt.
Wiltse, U. S. N, who took such
a prominent part in the over
throw of the monarchy by landing
his marines and blue-jackets al
the critical moment, died last
year, and now, on the eighth in
slant, he is followed by ex-Min-
lister J. [. Stevens, whose official
countenance and support con
tributed mainly to the success OF
the revolt against Liliuokalani.

THE COMING OF MANUFACTURES.

Goldsboro should Awaken to her Passing
Opportunities and Improve Her I'm
surpassed Advantages of Location,
Railroad Facilities and Climate.
The movement of New England
cotton mills TO the South is at
tracing the attention of the wide
awake Southern communities,
and many of these T setting to
work to secure the location of the
coming manufacturers in their
midst.
The question of some concerted
action on the part of the citizens
OF Gold5boro along this line has
been agitated and has met with
decided favor among the more
progressive and sagacious Of our
fellow citizens, and it only re-
mains for the weather to open
and permit of general intercourse
Tor the matter to take definite
shape and get under way.
Only yesterday The ARGUS
man had a long and encouraging
| conversation with Mr.. Asher Ed
wards on this subject, one of our
largest property holders, mer-
chants.and extensive farmers, and
he is satisfied that great things
ca early and. easily be accom-.
plished for Goldsboro and this
whole section by united confer
ence on the part of our business
men and Intelligent effort. He
has just returned from a bust
ness trip through New Eng.
land and the Northwest, ano
he says that he found scores
of Industrious, thrifty, intel
ligent farmers whose eyes are
turned Southwark with a desire
for a more congenial climate ano
for more diversified crops thar
they can obtain where they are
This is a class that is highly de

Nh. Edwards says that he per
sonally met several affiuent farm
ers III the West who have abso
lutely determined to come South
because they cannot endure tn
rigorous winters out there, AM
while they are wealthy, the,
count life and comfort more thai

to immigrate; and he ''almos
persuaded'them to come to Colds
boro. He is not sure but wha
they may visit US on a prospect
ing trip, at least, and thinks tina
if duly looked after they coul
be secured as farming citizens TO
this section.
It is reasonable to believe tina
if the advantages of this city a
