SAVED THE DAY.

The force of strong personality
was strikingly shown in the pro-
ceedings ON the New Orleans cotton
market when w. P. Brown, the bull
leader sprang into the ring and
quieted the panic.
The market had apparently gone
to smash. The reports from New
York and Liverpool confirmed the
fears of the traders. Brokers went
wild, offering cotton at 90 and 80
points below the last sale. In all the
maddening, desperate, surging crowd
on change, there was only one cool
head and that belonged to the man
who had more at stake than any
other. 1t took more than nerve to
do what Brown did-it required
power. Mr.. Brown is probably not
an orator, but he must have been
eloquent on this occasion. He had
the magnetism of genuineness and
earnestness. His voice quelled the
hubbub. His confidence begat faith
and the New Orleans market rallied.
It was Browns Wotk entirety. He
saved the cay ana perhaps he has
saved hin-. If and many another Of
his follow e from ruin.

More NOurishment and Seems
Stronger, But Tempera-
ture Is Higher.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-The
official announcement of Senator
Hanna's condition tonight is re-
garded as favorable. The bulletin,

well since morning. Temperature,
1O2 4-10; pulse, 92.'
It was stated that the senator had

THE LAWS MAJESTY
1T WILL BE MAINTAINED I'M
GOLDSBORO.
The "Jug" Traffic Between This
City and Pikeville Is Viola
tion of the Law and Will
Be Restrained.

| On the first day of January the
law enacted by an overwhelming
vote of the citizens of Goldsboro that
the sale of whiskey in this city shall
cease, went into statutary effect; and
quite number Of the former bar
keepers of our city moved to Pike
ville-8 miles distant, in this county
and were granted license by our
Board of County Commissioners to
engage in the ostracized business at
that point, and Immediately a Jug
traffic was inaugurated between that
town and Goldsboro that became so
high-handed and outrageous in its
utter disregard for the law of the city
and public decency and so vaunted
itself shamelessly upon QUE streets
without any apparent purpose on the
part of our city officials to stake the
matter in hand" that the ARGUS
felt called upon last week to pass
some criticism in this regard. This
comment had somewhat the effect
of removing the traffic-''a little fur
ther from the rOad"-a little further
from pnblic view: but it still went
on-the agencies employed being :
serviceable negroes of uncertain
character, and last week the sheriff
of the county, under the authority of
warrants duly sworn out by observ-
ant citizens, arrested Henry Jordan,
Tobe Pettiford, Chas. Foreman and
Ernest Goelet-all coIored, and these
were given hearing before Justices
Peterson and Broadhurst on Thurs
day, and all but Goelet bound over
to the next term of court.
Justice Peterson delivered the yer-
dict of the court, and in doing so
took occasion to say: 'The people
of Goldsboro by an overwhelming
majority have expressed their will
that Goldsboro shall have prohibi-
ton. There is no higher authority
than the voice of the people; and yet
there seems to be an organized pur-
pose on the prrt of some to set this
expressed will of a law-loving and
Intelligent people at naught and
faunt in the face of the community
their disregard for this prohibitory
law. Something must be done to
stop this conspiracy and establish the
majesty of the law in our commun-
ity. Two learned Superior Court
Judges are at variance in their opin.
ion as to the application of the Sta
tute under which these defendants
are in indicted, and this court, there
fore, feels it their duty to bind Jor-
dan, Pettiford and Foreman over
for appearance at the next term of
Superior court.
sMr. Sheriff, the defendants are in
your custody until they give justi-
fed bond.'
This action of Justices Peterson
and Broadhurst was entirely proper,
and it should be notice to all other
offenders against this law to cease
their offending or take the conse-
quences-for the law loving citizens
of Goldsboro have only begun to en-
force this law.

The whole nation-in fact, all
countries of the commercial world
stand appalled, and deeply sympa-
thetic at the terrible calamity that
has betallen Baltimore by fire, the
full particulars of which are unob-
tainable at this hour, as telegraphic
communication has been cut off by
the ravages Of the flames, but before
the wires went down the following
condensed report was sent out:
Baltimore, Md Feb. THE worst
conflagration in the history of Balti-
more, or the South, started about II
o'clock this morning in the big
wholesale dry goods house Of John
E. Hurst d Co. The explosion of
dynamite in another store scattered
the fire, and the firemen knew at
once that they had the hardest fight
of their lives. The flames were car
ried by a stiff breeze right through
the Wholesale distict, and immense
buildings simply melted, one after
another, before the destroying
flames. Soon after the explosion the
chiefs of the fire departments of
Washington, Philadelphia and Will
mington were wired for assistance.
A special train brough the Washing
ton engines at once. All the fire ap-
paratus of the city, the suburbs and
the county was pressed into the
fight. A gallant stand was made at
the first, but the flames won and
swept across to destroy other stores.
DYNAMITE was tried and twenty
buildings were mined and blown up
in the effort to stop the fire, but in
vain.
The loss, at p. NJ, is estimated
at somewhere between $50, 1000, 900
and $50, 1000, 900 making it one of the
biggest in the history of the world.
The Herald and The News building
both suffered greatly, and the former
is now burning. All the buildings
in the heart Of the wholesale district
were destroyed, including all the
newspapers.
Washington, Feb 8.-A dispatch
received from Baltimore at 2 o'clock
this morning says the fire is still
raging fiercely. Thepostoffice build
ing is burning, also the $4,000, 900
court house. The Holiday Street
Theatre has been blown up with dy-
Mantle and the United States EX-
nress Offices and central offices of the
baltimore G, Ohio Railroad are buEl :
ed.
A telegraph message receive ny
Mr.. Chas. J. Barnes in the railroad
TELEGRAPH office here this morning at
80 O'Clock states that 36 blcc<s in
the business section of Baltimore had
been destroyed by the fire, which
was then not under control and there
was 40 telling what the final result
would be. At that tine buildings
in the direction in which the fire was
raging were being blown up with
dynamite. Special trains were bring
ing fire departments from all the
Northern cities within reach.

time. At o'clock more shocks were
felt and the Russians again COM
menced firing.

fire. At 2 O'Clock two Russian bat
tleships went in and were beached
across the entrance of the harbor

TOWN TO BE HEATED
BY NATURAL SPRINGS
Glenwood Homes Will Be Warmed by
Supply of Subterranean Heat.

GLENWOQD SPRINGS, Col, April
1O.-This city will soon have the unique
distinction of being not only lighted
and literally run by water power, but
viii also be heated and the houses of
the. inhabitants kept warm by energy
derived from the same source.
For several weeks experts have been
examining the springs in the vicinity
of the city, especially those mile or
less up the canyon, and nobody seems
to know just what the examinations
were being made for.
The announcement has been made
that heat was the prize sought for and
found. 1t was learned that the boiling
waters which have made the springs
famous have been reduced in tempera-
ture from steam at a comparatively
shallow depth by the cold waters from
the Grand river sweeping in and lib
orally mixing the cold with the hot.
The warm water was so much in eX-
cess, however, that very few of the
springs show a temperature of less
than 130 to $50 degrees. In the course
of the Investigations it was found that
if pipe or casing is forced down into
the springs for a depth of from forty
to eighty feet the pipe easily prevents
the cold water from entering and the
steam that rushes upward is almost at
the boiling point, and it is even sus-
pected that by driving a few feet
deeper the temperature will be that
of steam. But even with the present
supply Of hot water in sight a company
is in course of formation to pipe the
water to town and supply it for heat
ing purposes, the quantity being so
great that it can be supplied to resi-
dences at a most remarkably low cost.

THE NEW sTIMULANT.

A New York physician stakes his
professional reputation on the prophecy
that electricity will presently supplant
whisky. AS his professional reputation
would probably be valueless to anybody
else, it is not likely he will be called
on to make good if his prophecy falls
down, but it is not without some sort
of speculative interest.
1t is not to be expected that man will
go on burning his gullet by making it
a conduit through which to get that
into his stomach which steals away his
brains. In every other line Of human
endeavOr something has been done for
the comfort of man, but in the distilla-
ton of spirits and the production of
booze there has been no change since
that day when the hired man Of old
Rameses ran a still in the tomb of
Cheops. PhOenician sailors took a
chaser after their rum and cursed in
uncouth language because the head
ache feature was not eliminated.
Down through the ages men dulled
their palates and cooked their insides
in persistent effort to attain to the
plane of the gods by such poor mortal
means as the distillers provided them.
Today drinkers console themselves by
dwelling on fictional literature attached
to bottles containing liquid fire hot
from the still and labeled as twelve
years old. For the distiller has stood
still while the world has moved. Hence
does the prophecy of the New York
doctor inspire us with hope.
Just how the change is to be brought
about is not indicated, but let us hope
it is coming. That will be a happy
day when the topper can walk into the
gilded palace of electricity, and instead
of ordering highball or a ''shot Of
booze" will request the electrician on
watch to give him a jolt of the alter
mating. There will be no sloppy bar,
no array Of cut glass and silver to dis
tract attention from the matter in
hand. The seeker for stimulants will
lay his hand upon a rod, the barkeep
will pull a knob and the pink clouds
will commence to gather on the ceiling.
The prophecy of the New York doc
tor opens up field for speculation be-
fore which the imagination staggers.
When they hear Of it in Peoria the
price of whisky will go off eighteen
points.

THE SUNDAY GLOBE,

The many encomiums bestowed upon
the Sunday G 10 b e yesterday by our
friends in st. Paul, and the more po-
tential evidence of the worth Of the
paper shown by the demands Of the
newsdealers for extra copies, move US
to express a sense of appreciation Of
the reception given the edition.
The great and steady growth in cir
culation of the Sunday GIob e is proof
that the public of the Northwest was
quite ready to support Sunday paper
such as that produced yesterday. which
may fairly be held as the best type Of
Sunday newspaper published in the
West. In character and makeup YES
terday's G. b e was, from any point
| Of view, the handsomest, most enter
tanning and newsy newspaper circulat-
ing in this territory. It contained ev-
erything that could be asked in Sun
day paper by the most exacting.
The striking and original first page
III tic COlOI SHCllOu WAS SuInC16nLIY
| unique and entertaining to compel even
| unwilling admiration. The rest of the
pictures in the color plates were good
to look at, informing and entertain
ing. The rest of the paper was quite
up to the best mark set by the color
| section. Its features were fresh and
distinctive and it's news included all
| the product Of the most effective news
agencies properly displayed.
1t is something Of an achievement
to have occupied after a very brief
campaign the first place among the
Sunday papers of the Northwest, and
T h Clio b e is gratified because Of
the success of the Sunday edition. The
| reading and discriminating public may
be assured that the Sunday GIob e
will be so conducted as to insure it's
retention Of the first place in North
western newspaperdom and in the es-
tenn of its already large and fast
growing circle of readers.

STILL THERE'S MoRETo FOLLOW.

One of the unfortunate laxities in
legal procedure where men have money
wherewith to fight for liberty is seen in
the freedom of action given to Senator
Burton, of Kansas, after he had been
duly sentenced to both fine and impris-
onment by the court before which he
was convicted. Senator Burton quietly
takes train for Washington instead
of taking the striped suit and entering
the stone walls that would inclose a
less prominent and influential person.
English justice is inferior to ours in
many respects, but 1T is less lenient to
the man actually within it's grasp.
The conviction and sentence of Bur-
ton are among the happiest of recent
public events, and maintain and
strengthen public confidence in the
federal courts. Burton's offense is not
solitary or peculiar. He is simply a
type of man now numerous in public
life, who believes that public office can
be legitimately used for private gain.
The idea has become almost universal
and humdrum. Men who would shrink
from petty larceny will fill their pock-
cts through their public influence with
out blush or tremor.
1t is time that a new political moral
sense was awakened. It is time that
the CRATER, if he cannot be exter-
minated, should at least be pelted un-
comfortably with the unpalatable fact
that he is CRATER. The government
is endangered only when the CRATER is
allowed to persuade himself that he is
an honest man. Public life is full of
Burtons. His colleague in the senate
narrowly escaped the same fate.
There are many more in the two
houses of congress who have done ex-
actly what he did without punishment
and apparently without shame. There
are scores of them who have been rob-
bing the postoffice department and,
instead of putting the money directly
in their own pockets, have traded it to
the postmasters in their district for
votes.
All this business should be branded
as criminal. Our government is not
worth the trouble Of keeping up unless
we can have behind it individual integ-
rity and fine sense of honor. 1t will
be the business and the pleasure of
public life and into the prison cells
that yawn for them. Any party which
fails to do this, which connives at their
misdeeds or extends them sympathy,
deserves to die.

In Reference to New-chwano

Our government, of course, would
make no protest against the action of
the Russians in placing the free port
OF NeW-chWang under martial law and
IN preparing to defend it against at
tack. 1t is surprising that any one
should have supposed that the United
States was concerned in the status Of
the place. New -chwang is in Man
churia, and. Manchuria is the theater
of war. And, indeed, it would be none
OF our business if New -chwang were
somewhere else in North China. The
United States government holds a whip
hand over nobody, so far as the war is
concerned. Our simple duty is to keep
Springfield Republican.

Contemporary Comment
The DifferentiaI.

AT present the northern railroads are
techncally protecting New York They
nave cut rates almost to nothing in the
Ilght against the Baltimore & Ohio and
other trunk lines interested in main
tanning the differential But it is a
Plckwickian fight, since there is little
or no grain moving. The lake route
mas been closed by ice, and the high
price of grain lhas restricted exports
from the Atlantic ports to nominal fig
ures. The question of interest is
Wnether the more northern trunk lines
VIII continue to carry grain for next
10 nothing after the outflow of grain
again becomes large. The New York
ers think these lines should heroically
perish rather than concede the in
iquitous differential, but the New York
central may take more practical view
OF the matter. now, as often before
Baltimore Sun.
