DEAD IN THE STREETS.
Men, Women, Children and Horses
in Sydney Become Victims
to Almost Unpar
allied Heat.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 27.-
The Canadian Australian steam
ship Miowera arrived to- day
several days late, having been
delayed at the Antcpedes, owing
to break in her machinery
Mail advices are to the effect that
besides terrible storms and aw>
! full destruction to marine prop
erty along the Australian coast
the weather on land has been un-
precentedly hot. and the deaths
from sun stroke has been excess
sively high.
In great many sections the
crops are ruined. In Queens :
land 113 in the shade is the re-
corded temperature, and in many
places in Australia, the ther-
mometer reached 125 in the
shade. Startling statistics are
to hand of death from heat.
On one day previous to the
sailing Of the Miowera eighty
people were inferred in Sydney.
So great was the demand for
graves that managers of ceme-
teries had to engage a number Of
assistants. Nearly all these who
succombed were infants and
aged persons. In the crowded
commercial centres citizens are
walking the streets all night.
There is a mad rush from the
city to the country.
Records are coming in from
north, south, east and west of
the terrible eheat. Sheep and
cattle are dying in droves for
want Of fodder and water. In
Queensland. New South Wales
and Victoria. the heat has never
been so excessive. Men, women,
children and horses drop down
in the street and die before ass
sistance can reach them. To add
to the distress scarlet fever and
epidemics prevail in many local
tiles.

FOR ALL THE SOUTH.
Goldsboro should be Represented.

It was definitely settled yester-
day that the Southern States ex-
hibition will be held in this city
on August 1. The exhibits will
be furnished by the South. The
business men of Chicago will pay
the cost of maintaining the show
A committee composed of ener-
getic and public-spirited Chica-
goians has been appointed to take
charge of the subscriptions, and
we have no doubt that money in
sufficient quantities will be prompt
ly forthcoming to carry the enter
prise to a successful conclusion.
1t is somewhat disappointing to
hear at this early stage of the un-
dertaking that certain Southern
cities feel discontented because the
movement originated in the At
lantic seaboard. 1t may be pointed
out for their benefit that the COM
munities which suffer most be-
cause of the isolation of the South
from the Northwest and West are
these same seaboard towns and
their inland neighbors. 1t was
necessity that drove them to take
measures for their own relief, and
probably if it had not been for the
hard conditions forced upon them
by the railway monopoly the pro-
posed exhibition would never have
been more substantial than a
dream.
AS for Chicago, it recognizes no
division of the South in a matter
of this sort. New Orleans, Gal
weston, Memphis, Birmingham
and Nashville are equally as well
come as Augusta or Atlanta. What
the business men of Chicago de-
sire is representative exhibition
Southern products, especially cot
ton, and consequent united move
ment for closer intercourse with
our friends south of the Ohio. 1t
will be strange if little differ
ences over the honor of original
ing the enterprise are allowed to
defeat this purpose. And the
Times-Herald is too confident of
the good sense of Southern mer-
chants, manufacturers and plant
ers to believe that they will suffer
anything like sectionalism to in
terfere with the exhibition.
Chicago Times-Herald.
The Times Herald is correct.
The South-not part of it only,
but the South as whole-will be
represented at Chicago. We be-
lieve with the Manufacturers
Record that this will be carried
out on a sufficiently broad scale,
without too much detail, to give
to the people of the West a com
prehensive view of the whole
South.
Goldsboro's enterprises and the
soil and climatic, attractions of this
section, should be set forth in this
great exhibition.

Beyond question we have
reached a crisis in the political
history Of North Carolina. The
time has at last arrived when
every honest, self-respecting
man must take d firm stand
against the aggression and en-
roachments Of political trimmers
aud professional place~hunters.
Your editorial in last Sundays
Observer rang out clear and
strong in the midnight darkness
of our political discontent. as it
sounded a timely warning to those
who value principle above policy,
and babe defiance to the schemes
and plots of the enemies of Dem
ocracy who are now engaged in
disgraceful attempt TO form an
unholy alliance with a set Of
traitors and deserters from the
camps of both the great political
parties.
Had this warning note been
sounded five years ago and had
the men in the Democratic party
been called upon to step into the
breach, then beginning to mani
fest itself in the party councils,
and resist to the utmost every
attempted encroachment of Pops
ulism and socialism upon Demo
cratic principles, ere this our
party would have successfully
passed through the qnagmires of
disloyalty and rebellion, and
would now be once more firmly
planted upon the granite hewn
pedestal of principles eternal.
But alas. For the sake Of har-
mony in the party ranks, and in
order to cajole and placate those
who no longer preached from
Democratic texts, or prayed
Democratic prayers, men who
protested at their party being
thus emasculated and stripped OF
its basic principles were hidden
to hold their tongues, but the

might, peradventure, go over to
the enemy and thereby disrupt
the party. Thus it was that
these politicians who placed
party success above party hon
e,ty, cried peace, peace." when
there was no peace. Thus did
they make concession after con~
cession to the arrogant demands

these sagfs of Democracy are the
very last authorities he could ap-

have taken the trouble to inves-
tigate) know that Jefferson in
1906 struck "the dollar of our
daddies" its first blow, while
'Old Hickory" knocked it clear
out of the ring in 1857, where it
lay IN a cUnatose state for forty
years, until the Bland>Aliison
act resusclated it in 1898. But

A S [ said in the beginning, the
crisis is upon US. There is no

to do in the way of office>getting,
cannot afford to stand silently by,
with folded hand and bated
breath, while the political "pot~
hunters" steal the livery of Dem
Ocracy in which to serve the Po-
pulist devil.
Then let those Democrats who
rescued their party and State in
1876 from the tolls of Republican

THE ARGUS would not say word

Caustic criticism, however, is
sometimes wholesome and not

unpleasant to the editor, whose

not of our writing, we, therefore,

mayoralty and the wide latitude
of police authority, and our refer
ence, therefore, to ssmurder, lar
ceny, arson,' etc., was for the
purpose of sustaining the position
that this paper took, and holds,
that it is the duty of the police to
supervise and report all crooked
ness within the municipal domain,
whether the same come under their
jurisdiction as officers of the law,
or under their observation as
watchmen of the night. Such did

A CARD FROM MAYOR HILL.
To the Editor of THE ARGUS:

To the Editor of The ARGUS;
Mr.. ED1ToR-While l have ex
ceeding distaste to appearing il
public print, l yet feel that YOU
very unjust misrepresentation o:
"the city administration in ar
article appearing in yesterdays
edition of your paper, demands {
reply and /, therefore, ask a hear.
ing.
The city administration has hac
no hearing in the case of the ar
rest of parties violating the Uniteo
States revenue laws, and. there
fore, has had no opportunity OF
desire to express itself officially.
Then why the considerable com
ment''? The arrest of these par
ties was made, as l understand,
by the special policeman, not as a
policeman, but as special deputy
marshal, armed with a warrant
from the United States Commits
sioner. The city administration
had nothing to do with it, and, SO
far as / am individually concern
ed, blames no one for the arrest,
as the officer had perfect right to
make it.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it has been
your boast in several editions of
your paper that owe have the
best town in the State,' and yet
one might infer from reading your
article that such crimes as ''mur-
der, larceny, arson, and other
heinous offences could be per-
petrated with IMMUNITY in this
"best town in the State.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you are a
lawyer and ought to know that the
"city administration" by the
laws of North Carolina is vested
with the power, jurisdiction and
authority of justice of the peace
in criminal cases, therefore, it is
not necessary that these crimes
should be specially enumerated in
the city ordinances. If you will
examine the Code of the State you
will find nowhere stated, that it is
a crime or heinous offence for any
one to have in his wagon one bar
rel of forty barrels, as for that, of
whiskey or anything else. Then
what authority would any State,
county or municipal officer have
to search such wagon or make an
arrest2 Would it not, I ask you,
Mr.. Editor, be very dangerous
and undemocratic power to confer
upon our officers? In all your
legal experience have you ever
known an arrest for violation of
the revenue laws made by a State,
county or municipal officer, unless
he was specially deputized and
armed with a warrant from proper
United States authority? Have
you ever known such a case tried
by State court of any kind? Are
they not always arrested and tried
by United States authorityl Then
why all this TRADE against the
city administration!
We have nothing to do with
this case. 1t is wholly an offence
against the United States revenue
laws, over which we have no iuris-
diction.
Why take occasion to abuse our
efficient and Jealous police force,
who have done and will do all in
their power to 'Esupervise all
'crookedness' that might be at
tempted within the municipal do
main" /? Instead of receiving abuse
and slurs, they should have the
aid and encouragement of all good
citizens in performing their ardu
Gus duties.
Respectfully,
JOHN H. HILL,
Mayor.
