JingOism and the Canal.

We must have the Nicaragua
canal. 1t has become an imperative
necessity, not only because of our
territorial acquisitions in the West
Indies and in the East Pacific, but
because it has become indispen-
sible to our commerce that is now
unexampled in it's advancement.
The people of the nation are
pretty much of one mind as to the
necessity of this country absoluter
ly owning and controlling the
Nicaragua canal. England, that
could have reasonably questioned
our right TO the exclusive owner
ship and control of the canal, is
quite willing to waive it, asking
that it shall be an open highway
alike in war and peace. A new
treaty with England providing
that this country shall own ane
control the canal and maintain i
as an open highway in war ant
peace, is pending in the Senate
and it has callod out the fierces
assaults of the jingo journals ant
babblers of the land.

To Be Prepared.

For war is the surest way for this ma
tion to maintain peace. That is the
opinion of the wisest statesman. It is
equally true that to be prepared for
spring is the best way to avoid the
peculiar dangers of the season. This
is a lesson multitudes are learning. and
at this time. when the blood Is sure to
be loaded with impurities and to be
weak and sluggish, the millions begin
to take Hoods Sarsaparilla. which
purifes, enriches and vitalizes the
blood, expels all disease germs, creates
good appetite, gives strength and

TO ATTACK BULLER.
Feeling is More Hopeful in Lon
don ON Account of Great
Confidence RepOsed
in RObarts and
Ki,charer.

London, Feb. 12.-Not a line
of news has been received from
South Africa since yesterday; at
any rate none has been published
The feeling is more hopeful in
consequence Of the wide spread
belief that Roberts and Kitchen
er have now firm grip of the
helm and whatever happens the
campaign will be waged under
careful and comprehensive
plans in which all forces will CO.
operate. Both sidess seem col
lecting themselves for the ate
tack. The left horn of the Boer
army is creeping through Zulu
land threatening the British
right at Chievely. Joubert, with
six thousand men, is reported
to be endeavoring to attack Bull
Ter. .Boer aggressiveness has been
developed and repulsed at Renss
burg, while from the most i'm
portant points in campaign, ins
Guiding Modder River, news is
received of their ceaseless activ-
ity and redoubled vigilance.
These reports create hopeful"
ness in Great Britain, rather
than anxiety, for the impression
prevails that Boer aggressive
ness will give British troops
their long sought opportunity
and tend greatly to assist the
broad plan Of campaign which
Roberts may be expected to set
in motion soon at Modder River.
Modder River, Feb. 11-Unless
all indications are deceptive, one
Of the greatest battles of the war
is about to be fought near here.
The British are gathering here
IN force under the personal COM
madof Roberts, includingMethu-
en'army and large reinforcemenfs
from Cape Colony. The British
plan seems to be to make a des-
cent upon Bioenfontein. The
Beers are sending every avail
able man in the direction of Kim
berly.

TO COTTON GINNERS.

The past ginning season again
demonstrated the Incompatible
superiority of The American Cot
ton Companv's Roundlap bale,
Not only were farmers benefited
who had their cotton put up in
Reundlap bales, but eveu the pas
irons of old style gins profted by
t.te presence of Roundlap compe-
tlGloD.
Although last year The Ameri-
can Cotton Company largely in
creased the number of it's presses
in the South-installing all that it
was able to build-the demand in
New England and abroad for cot
ton baled by this process greatly
exceeded the supply. The Com
pany is preparing this year to add
largely to the number of its
presses. The Company's works are
running day and night building
presses, which will be leased to
responsible ginners, who own Or
sere prepared to build modern gin
houses in good cotton districts, on
rental which is ultimately re-
paid by tie cotton buyer in the
premium for cotton in Roundlap
bales.
Information concerning leases
will be supplied by Messrs. G. E..

MOLlNEUX MUST DIE.
Jury Ends Him Guilty i'm tie
First Degree.

First Degree.
New York, Feb. IO.-After
81 zen hours and half of delib-
Grafton, during which they care
fully studied the handwriting ev-
idence, the Molineux jury found
him guilty at 1O:45 tonight.
Molineux took the blow without
finching. His father took it like
an old soldier. The mother and
wife of the prisoner were not
present. At the close Recorder
Gof departed from the usual
procedure on the side of mercy
and permitted the father to follow
the son to his cell.
It was the most impressive
scene, perhaps, in the history OF
cri.inal procedure of the present
time, coming as it did at the end
of the longest and most bitterly
fought murder trial on record,
when the foreman of the jury,
turning in his place to LOOK the
defendant in the face, said slowly
and with great distinction in ev-
cry word: eve find him guilty of
murder in the first degree.
When the jurors entered the
courtroom their faces wore a set
expression. Not one of them
looked toward the prisoner and
his father. When silence was es-
tablished the prisoner was
brought in. He walked rapidly to
, the chair between his father and
Counsel Weeks. Leaning over, he
whispered to his counsel, his
eyes scanning the jury. A few
| minutes later the recorder entered
and ordered the clerk to call the
roll. TIE jurors answered to thei,
names, and then the foreman
announced the verdict. Severa
jurors dropped glances as they
met the eyes of the prisoner; and
one of the jurors eyes were ful
of tears. Molineux's counse
asked that the jury be polled
which was done. The recorde
then asked Weeks if he had an.
requests to make in the matter o
passing of sentence.
Molineux, who had resumes
his seat, loaned over and whis
pered to Weeks: 'Ask him tt
sentence me- to death immediate
. w." Weeks shook his head an
said to the court: "Any day you
honor sets is satisfactory" Th
, recorder then set February 1t
!, and ordered the defendant n
moved.

VERY High
AUTHORITY.
GREAT CHICAGO FIRM
Writes a Letter to The
Goldsboro Argus.
WE GO FORWARD !!
WE GO FORWARD !!

In the work Of building cities,
Chicago is the wonder of the
world.
In the worlds history no other
place ever grew SO quickly to be
one of the important cities of the
globe.
Many Of the great commercial
houses Of Chicago are household
words everywhere, and draw trade
from every part of the civilized
world.
One of these firms is the firm
of Sears, Roebuck & Company.
Below we publish a personal
letter just received from them.
Read it. The letter contains food
for thought. It says in plain
words, of three thousand five
hundred local newspapers that go
into the Offices of Sears, Roebuck
& Co., there is no better LOCAL
newspaper than the ARGUS.
But should Goldsboro not have
more than a LOCAL newspaper?
Within the memory of people
living in Goldsboro, Chicago did
not contain as many people as
Pikeville or Dudley now has.
Now Chicago is one of the biggest
ci les in the world. In fact, until
Brooklyn and Coney Island, and
several other places, were annexed
to New York, Chicago was the
biggest city in the Western Hem
isphere.
Suppose in her early days the
business men of Chicago had
been dominated by spirit which
made them content with papers
only LOCAL in character would
Chicago be what she is to-day
the wonder Of the world?
It has been the dream of the
founder of the ARGUS to make
the paper an ideal one, not only
local, but bearing upon it's pages,
as regularly as the rising and the
setting of the sun, the important
! news of all the world.
Then the DAILY ARGUS would
| go into almost every Office, facto-
ry, shop. and intelligent home in
all this magnificent section OF
Eestern North Carolina, of which
Goldsboro is the natural TRADE
CENTRE.
| A daily telegraphic service
would enable us to make the
ARGUS the pride of our people
It is with the business men o.
Goldsboro to say whether or not
we shall make it so. What say
you, men of Goldsboro?

(Staff Report)
Daily Argus of Wednesday.
Hon. William J. Bryan address,
ed two immense audiences yester-
day in Raleigh. At 4:3O he spoke
in tent to a multitude, and at
night the Academy of Music was
thronged.
At both speeches, from the ut
terance of his first word to the
close, he swayed his audiences at
his will.
A prominent Republican, who
holds State Office, remarked last
night, that he had heard both
speeches and never again would
he criticise Bryan.
Continued the Republican, 81
believe he is absolutely sincere,
and is without egotism. ="
Taxation, the money question,
mllitarisn, and imperialism were
Col. Bryan's themes.
He advocates a change in the
Federal Constitution in order to
impose tax on incomes; he stands
just where be stood in 1896 en-
the money questiou-free coinage
of silver Is to 1; he favors the
promise now to the PHILIPPINES
that as soon as a stable form OF
government can be established
that the government will be
turned over to them, and that the
United States Government will
| protect the Philippine Govern
ment, just as our Government
has protected the South Ameri
can countries from the ''land
grabbing nations of the world.
Mr.. Bryan is in fine form, and
appears as fresh and vigorous as
if just entering upon campaign
| People OF all parties were un-
animous in saying that the
speech last night was the great
est one they ever heard. Many
people who do not agree with
Mr.. Bryan are broad enough in
their views to realize and admi
that he one of the ablest mer
this country has produced.

The Bonner Horses.

1O-uhy is 10 Soo Gu0 CIOSiHS OI
an interesting chapter of local
history, of which the like will
probably never be written again.
The horses of the late Robert
Bonner are to be sold, which
means that the largest, m ost cost
ly, longeste-lived, best and conse-
quently most famous "stable" of
trotters ever known is to be dis
persed and ended.
The Bonner horses saw nearly
half century of time, and their
unrivalled excellence, coupled
with their owners great pride in
them and his relations with the
world outside of horsefesh,
brought them the acquaintance of
many of the most distinguished
men of the period, native or for
eign. The welloknown picture of
Dexter at speed after the reins
had been passed from Mr.. Bon
ner's hands to Gen. Grants, won~
derfully expressive of the horses
stride and temperament, was typ
ical merely of similar scenes in
which other noted persons figured,
with other animals between the
shafts. Mr.. Bonner first bought
horses littlk after 1850, when
America began to be conscious
that in the development of her
trotters there was possibility of
speed and profit of serious ma
tional Importance, and his death
came when this development had
been carried to the point where
further progress is so slow, diff
fcult and doubtfal that breeders
feel that perfection, which remains,
of course, anattaiIable, at least
cannot be far away. He began
driving when it was in the fashion
for horse-loving residents of New
York to Cd to the tracks in what
Is now the Borough of Brooklyn.
He lived to see the trotters, shut
out first from Brooklyn, next
from Manhattan Island, and hen
from the region north of the
Harlem, finally found on Man
haitian again, at Speedway Park,
a footing that is ample and des-
tined to last for all time.
The equal of Mr.. Bonner's sta
ble is not likely to be seen again,
for the reason that we cannot ex-
pect to see another man in whom
are combined his wealth, taste,
ambition and extraordinary inten-
sity in the attainment of desired
end. Mr.. Bonner was man of
very large business affairs, not
! only IN connection with the Led
ger, but with bis other properties;
but his porticular fancy for
horses seemed to absorb his ener-
gies, if not to be his foremost in
terest and distinction. His actual
personal feeling for a horse we
never knew. We never saw him
pat the neck of one. But among
all the celebrated artists Of the
track, including Mace, Doble
Splan and Hickock, and Geers ane
bis contemporaries, if the modern
are TO be classed with their prede
) cessors, there was in our opinion
not one whose hand was as mas
1 terful as Mr.. Bonner's, as reso-
lutte in controlling in an impet
uous spirit, as delicate in smooth
: ing troubled gait and as cleo
r trical in it's stimulus to speeo

What Are They Doing?

Mr.. Editor: After giving our
worthy Mayor and his honorable
board of Aldermen all due praise
for the commendabls order, peace
and propriety they have maintain
ed during the present year, would
respectfully ask, do you know what
our town authorities are doing to
promote the interests, the welfare,
the prosperity of our town? Do
you know of anything? Perhaps
you Will say. that Brooks Dunton
and his squad, 1.-TWO other negroes),
are keeping the road-beds in first
class condition. But are the MEM
bers of our town council, from
personal observation, even aware
of the fact that, thro' the manipu-
lation of the said Brooks Dunton
& Co., the road beds of our town
are even passable? [ doubt it,
and don't hesitate to say so. Be-
cause, if they were, the necessity
of certain new streets on the north
side of town would receive the
councils attention without further
procrastination. They (the mem
bers of council) have no right'to
cry want of funds, because the de-
mands 10 promote and advance
the interests Of the people of the
town, and the prosperity thereof'
are sufficient to give them all nee.
essary excuse Tor levying a tax
requisite to meet the emergency,
and give aid to the up-building of
our dear old town, in the small
cost that might accrue from open
ing up and identifying some two
or three urgontlY-needed new
streets But is an additional tax
on the town necessary for that
purpose9 The dispensary pays
over $1,000 a year, TO the town au-
thorities, and then they collect
from fines and licenses, and COM
pounds several hundred dollars.
And by-the-way,if the negro oil
mill laborers are required to pay
their communication tax, we would
like to ask why is not a similar
tax exacted Of the cotton mill en-
plopees. Law ia law, and right is
right. Gentlemen of the town
council, do your duty regardless
of consequences. But give us more
new streets, with we'll graded SIDE
walks, and plant out shade trees
thereon to adorn the same.
