CLEVELAND'S WARNING
AGAINST IMPERIALISM.

and Dutch Conservatism is Needed.

never be evaded. 1t teaches bloody
instructions which, in country
whose citizens do the fighting can
not fail to leave their impress for
time at least upon public and
private life in time of peace.
Thirty years after the close of
the war for the preservation Of the
union, a treaty Of arbitration was
formulated between the United
States and Great Britain, which,
if completed, would have gone far
towards removing 'every pretext
Of war between the two countries.
Thus these two great Engllsh-
speaking nations then assumed
leadership IN the path of peace,
and in advocacy of the abolition
of war, with the hope and expece
tation that the example would be
followed by other nations, aud
that a more general adoption of
arbitration as a means of Sc, ,tliDg
international disputes would re-
suit in a great advance towards
the abandonment of war through
out the world.
This treaty failed of confrma>
ton In the Senate of the United
States. Less than five years
passed, and these English speak
ing champions of peace and arbi-
tration are still operating in
parallel lines-one in the Philip
pines and the other in South
Africa-but no longer for peace
and arbitration. Both are killing
natives in an effort to possess
their lands. This indicates a
sad relapse; and in our case it is
q most serious one. II England
succeeds in her attempt in South
Africa she will but add another
TO her list of similar acquisitlons;
a brave people will be subjugated ;
and because of our engagement
in q similar venture in another
quarter they will miss the ex-
pressions OF American sympathy
which we were accustomed to ex.
tend to those who struggle for
national life and independence. On
the other hand, with success in our
subjugation effort new, untried
and exceedingly perilous situa
tion will be forced upon US. We
can conquer the Philippines, and
after conquering them can prob
ably govern them. 1t is in the
strain upon our institutions, the
decentralization Of our people, the
evasion of our constitutions
limitations and the perversion O.
our national mission that oul
danger lies. AS a distinguished
bishop has said:
"The question is not what WI
shall do with the Philippines
but what the Philippines will d.
with u.s."
Our country will never be th'
same again. For veal or woe
we have already irrevocabl,

GOV. AYCOCK
And The Public
Schools.
A DANGER THREATENS

In bis great inaugural address
Governor Aycock proclaimed to
all men just where he stands on
the question of public schools.
After he had taken the oath of
Office, and as Governor of North
Carolina, he stood before that
vast audieuce and talked just like
he did when he wss going over
the State upholding the principles
OF Democracy and urging the peo-
pie to rally to the standard of the
Democratic party.
In the campaign and on the oc-
casiou of the inauguration, his
plea for the public schools met
the hearty approval of the people
Of the State.
Now there is no doubt that the
Legislature will make ample ap-
proprialions for the public
schools, but we regret to say that
there are influences at work
which, if successful, will greatly
retard the progress of education
in North Carolina, and will prove
"A 90 live curse to the children t
the State.
We deem it proper to soy in
this connection, that the editor
of the Goldsboro Daily and
Weekly ARGUS is in close touch
with the public schools, and has
been for some time, and is at pres
ent Oh irman of the County Board
of Education. He feels, therefore,
that be is in position to know
something of the needs of the pubs
lie schools.
Now, from what we saw at Ra-
leigh, and from letters sent over
the State, we are convinced that
an effort will be made; first, to
continue for term of years the
boz ks now in use In the public
schools of North Carolios, THERE

If this cannos bs bsaccomplished

that publishers cannot and will

Holds Good ia Dubois County and Jasper,

In some ways it seems that it is
a good thing for the tax payer if the
county saves $500 on the bill for
public printing. The present law
compelling the letting Of these sup
plies by contract was no doubt got
ten up by set Of city sharks, who
have grown rich at the business,
and who take delight once in a
while in cutting each others throats.
The different supplies are divided
up into classes and so arranged that
in each class are many articles that
the country printer cannot furnish
at any advantage, and then the
whole lot goes to the city printer.
No one connected with the affairs Of
the county would think Of asking
that anything be furnished the
county at perhaps less than one half
OF the actual cost of such an article.
In TACT Lawrence county is fully able
to pay value received for any arti-
Gle purchased, dubois county
ought to be- } and while it is true
that here affairs have been reasona-
bly, well managed, thing have not
been conducted on that plan OF
economy that would warrant them
asking that they receive all their
printed supplies at less than cost.
There is no discrimination in any
thing asked for excepting the print
ing. If the furnishing Of clothing,
boots, shoes, coal and merchandise
were given to any one but our local
merchants, howl would be raised
that wonld ar things. The print
ing furnished by these city firms is
only very ordinary Job. The pa
per is generally good enough as to
quality, but the printing is not up
to-date, and is very poor and anti
quated. The type or stereotype
forms and the presswork are all
very ordinary, and there is not
country print shop in Indiana but
could furnish better work. II any
or town is prosperous, they
owe much to the newspapers. In
TACT the newspapers are continually
heralding to the world the many
inducements of their home city, and
they are Justly entitled to every
line of printing in the county,
whether it be public or private, and
at living prices. Give the printer a
show, please. Bedford Republican.

LITTLE BOY BLUE AND HIS TIN SOLDIER.

He stood on the lid Of the nursery stove.
Brave little soldier OF lead
Carelessly left there by Little Boy Blue
A. he noiselessly trudged to bed
He was dressed in suit of the brightest red,
And he wore an expansive smile
And he thought TO himself, with a soldiers pride,
''They have put guard for awhile''
The lid glcwed red from the scoching heat
OF the terrible flames below,
And the soldier sighed as his coat peeled off,
For he hadn't another, you know.
Then he lost his smile and his eyebrows too,
And he thrilled with vague dismay,
As his gun curled up with the terrible heat;
Yet he would not away.
Little Boy Blue, when the morning came,
Searched for the soldier in red,
But all he found on the nursery stove
Was shapeless lump Of lead
