MANS HERITAGE.
A Peculiar Blessing Handed Down From
Heaven to the Children of nen.'

In the beginning, before God Gre
ated mankind, He prepared for his
coming. Natures storehouse was
abundantly filled with all mans needs
in sickness and in health-for God
knew to what his fall would lead, and
accordingly prepared, in mercy, the
herbs, roots and barks, after their sew
eral kinds and endowed Man with
wisdom to find therein a boon for all
the ills to which the human flesh
might fall heir, through tr~ansgression
In after ear a man went forth to
search and God rewarded his efforts
by revealing to him the ingredients to
prepare the formula of what to-day
stands prominently at the head of
all other remedies in it's class: heredi-
tary blood diseases-scrofula, eczema,
etc, vanishes before the sweep of it's

BRIGHAM ROBERTS CASE.


mon Congressman from Utah,
publishes a Lengthy communication
in the New York Times in his own
defense. The charges brought
against Roberts are that he is ille-
galiy p%racticing polygamy and
that the Mormons of Utah are
breaking the compact between
Utah and the United States by in
dulging in the same practice.
ROnerts sets forth that there is
no law against his practice of pol
ygamy; that tina Constitution of
Utah, which was drawn up in
strict compliance with the act of
Congress enabling Utah 10 become
a State, does not prohibit him
from thst practice; that the Con-
stitution Of the State provides that
On and after it's adoption polyga-
nous or plural marriages are for
ever prohibited, bat that his plural
marriages. were contracted before
the admission of Utah into the
Union, before the enabling act
was passed, aud before the State
Constitution was adopted, He is
NJ where required by the laws of
his State or the laws of the United
States to abandon his plural
wives and families. He regards
the settlement Of the vexed guess
ton as just and statesmanllke.
The sentiment of the American
people being opposed to polyga-
my, it was right, he says, that
polygamy should be abolished.
He declares that the Mormons &C
copied the decree In good faith
and have lived up to it.
As to existing plural families,
he asks what good would come. to
the people Of the United States by
their disruption. The fountain of
the evil, he says, was dried up,
the people of the United States
can be generous enough to allow
the streams that flowed from it
to take their course until lost in
the oblivion of death.
Roberts denies that his appear
ance in Congress is to be regard
ed as a manifestation Of the
power of the. Mormon Church,
and a protest against the laws
enacted for the suppression of
plural marriages. He recites that
he was elected by Democrats,
that among his supporters were
Mormons and Gentiles, and that
the opposition to him was made
up largely Of Mormons. The Nor
mon Church took no part in his
election, and, moreover, when he
appears in Congress he has not
one word to say against the anti
polygamy laws, but, on the con-
trary, he is sworn to uphold
them, and cheerfully will do so
as Utah's representative in Con-
gress.
Roberts makes his strongest
point when he says that Congress
has no power to refuse him his
seat. A member can be expelled
for disorderly conduct, but hard
ly for an alleged misdemeanor
that was committed, if committed
at all, before the members cleo
tion. And there can be no other
excuse offered for refusing the
seat when the member was legal
ly elected to Congress and pos
sesses all the qualifications pre-
scribed by the Constitution of the
United States.

What is Seen and Heard While
the Streets.
The improvements begun two
years ago to the court square
lawn, and which added so much
to the appearance of the place,
have been neglected this summer
and the lawn has been allowed to
grow up in weeds. The location is
convenient to the centre of the
city and the surroundings could
be made attractive with q little
money and attention. 1t is an adj
mlrable spot for a breathing place
for those who have not the time
to go or those who cannot get to
the park. MI. H. B. Parker, Jr.,
had the work in charge n time
and possibly he might be induced
to try it again.

Occasionally we hear of some
of our acquaintances who volun-
teered and went to the Philip
pines that have returned and touch
! ed at San Francisco. How near
home they seem! We cease to be
fearful for them or uneasy about
them. We forget for the moment
that they are many miles from
home. We all remember only a
year or SO ago how long the dis
lance seemed to the Pacific slope.
At that time if any Of our friends
should leave US for that far off
country we would almost despair
of ever seeing them again. 1t is
only the far greater distance to
the Orient that makes the dis
lance to the extreme West, though
long one that it is, seem short in
comparison.

In the midst of our great and
joyous thanksgiving feast to-
day, with light hearts and
pleasant meditations of the day
observant whirling through the
elastic mind, how many who pos
sess abundant storehouses from
which to make their bounteous
spread will stop for only a mo-
ment to think of the many humble
homes in our midst, where grim
poverty will force the occupants
to sit down to a scanty meal of
the plainest diet? These people
are our brothers and our sisters.
They are simply unfortunate. If
the table in the poor home and
the table in the afiuent home
were set side by side, the occu-
pants at the latter could not en-
JOY the feast before sharing with
the former. Both tables will be
set, but not side by side, and the
prosperous man can eat heartier
and enjoy the blessings of a clear
conscience if he has divided with
his unfortunate brother,

could be easily arranged to hare
toe passenger trains leave their
main lines by spur tracks and
enter a large shed, at the farther

When the present Board of Al
dermen and city officials were
elected for a two~year term they
gave very little thought of the flu
ture, feeling sure that no harm
could befall them or that nothing

Clubs are the most popular
thing in Goldsboro at present.
Nearly every man, boy, woman

know how many clubs we have in
Goldsboro both male and female.
If the popularity of this club bus~
mess continues the ARGUS will try
to increase its subscription list by
offering club rates.
