SENATOR BUTLER'S SPEECH.
' Mr. Butler said in his speech at
Newton .turday that he "out
speaking- at this time, to .warn the peo
ple of the mp Yement ,pf the politi
cians." Is that not refreshing? It has
been many a day since we .haveTun
upon so cool a piece of self assurance.
If folks in this neck of ; the woods were
asked to point out a politician in this
State, nine .out of .ten would extend
their index fingers Butlerward. How
else does Mr. Butler account ;for .his
being in the United States Senate?
Were his qualifications for that exalted
place so manifest that an unanimous
outburst of popular acclaim ".simply
l- hove him innto it? Well hardly.
Mr. Butler should not despise the
ladder by. which he. climbed. It is not
good taste to deny the calling' by
which one's bread is earned. He be
came vSenatpr, by. a piece of shrewd po
litical scheming just as most other
men do in. the South, where they are
We do not in the least blame Mr. .But
ler either for the scheming or being
elected. On the contrary we .have al
Wjays thought it .rather neatly done;
Dut wnen ne attempts to pose as a
x
guileless patriot; to be "like a star
and dwell apart;" to constitute himself
the unselfish guardian of the "poor
people;" he becomes the least bit ridi
culous. The Senator started out with. a great
flourish of his tongue to outline the
policy of his party, but, so far as, we
can - gather, the only, policy yet pro
pounded -is in the sentence where he
says 'he will be found in the middle of
the road appealing to the people to
follow him; '"which, being interpreted
is, the Senator will continue to do
business at the old stand. He has al
ways evinced more or less fondness
for having the people follow, him; it is
second only to his fondness for. ap
pealing to them to do so; the latter is
a passion, a mania with him. The
Senator simply has a bad case of
"stage-struck" and has mistaken iMor
the spirit of patriotism moving might
ily within him. He should diagnose
his ailment more .carefully. .He -is
likely to find, when he goes a starring
in the middle of the road, that a de
lighted public will not cast at his. feet
a big bouquet labelled "second term."
North Carolina will want men to
represent her in future who stand on
something more than the middle of the
road; something a little more, specific.
Glittering generalities and promises
impossible of performance witThave
very much less weight in the late, than
they had in the early nineties. More
over the middle ,of the road is not in
very good repute just now. It would
be well for the Senator , to sorter edge
off toward one side, out of the August
sun, and cease calling for awhile.
When wheat is striving to get between
the dollar mark and the dot is not an
auspicious time for catiing .anyway.
Instead of enthusiastic cheers he might
be rewarded with a big, chilly horse
laugh. It is whispered that Mr, Hanna
worked some of that surplus "provi
dence' ' on the Ohio Populists . Marcus
is nothing if not an inftatpr , of : booms .
The love of his profession Is so strong
that he gave even Coxey a boost.
i r
THE Andree.expedition has started
a great number of balloon hoaxes; . The
latest is the man who will take provisions
t JClondyke and bring back dust by
means of one. We presume it would
be proper, in the slang of the day, to
say that balloons "are in the air."
. It was very-.8,hor-sighted in Mr.
Dingley not to have put a clause in
.his tariff bill imposing a duty on'
JQondyke gold. We should not allow
so much' Of a British product to come
in free -it will damage .our infant
mining. industries. .
A jOOQD JOKE.
But Mr. Enqis Was Equal to ,the
Eqierjjency.
. Mr. P. C. Enniss, of Raleigh, an old
newspaper man, -by the way, is located
injGreensboro and i.s working in the
interest of the A. and M. College at
Raleigh. ;
He was down in Randolph county,
near Asheboro, one day last week and
learning that two prominent gentle-,
.men.wpuhi address the. voters at Ashe
boro on the local tax question, conclu--ded.he
wpujd .go oyer and ;bear them.
.When .he reached Asheboro he
found the speakers had not arrived.
Quite.a4crpwd was presentjand a freeholder-thought
he .recognized one of
the speakers in the person Qf Mr. ,En
nis.s. 'Pink" knows how to appreciate a
joke, and .whep he .was asked to ad
dress the waiting crowd ;he consented
to. do so, with the understanding that
he be allowed, to choose his subject.
Mr. Enniss says the opportunity was
too good to let slip, so he improved
the time by talking A. and M. College
to the crowd for a whole hour.
We have not learned with, .what en
thusiasm the address was received. We
understand that Mr. Enniss tried the
same game .at Randleman.
In a Deplorable Condition.
There was one man in Greensboro who
was not in a satisfactory frame o
mind for worship yesterday, and it
came about on account of a little
thieving, of which so much has been
done in and around Greensboro re
cently.
R. W. Filator, who boards at the
Monroe House, on Buchanan street,
went to his room late Saturday night
to take a bath. When he went to the
wardrobe in search of clean linen, he
was surprised to find npne. He knew
that all the underwear he had was left
in the wardrobe. After searching con
siderably ana finding none, he came
up street and bought a supply for Sun
day,. swearing vengeance on the thief
who had visited his apartments.
It's tough on a fellow to lose any
thfng at the hands of a thief, but when
it comes to stealing a man's wearing
apparel well, it puts an awkward
feeling on a person, to say the least
His Hands Full.
m
Rev. .Horace Weeks Jones, the pop
ular rector, of St. Barnabas Episcopal
church, had as much as one man could
well attend to yesterday. At 8 o'clock
in the. morning he administered holy
communion at St. Andrew's church,
and at 10 o'clock he preached and ad
ministered holy communion -at St
Barnabas. He went to Burlington on
the noon train, where he preached in
St Athenasius Episcopal church last
evening.
Good Work.
Sam Browne, superintendent of the
street force, in addition to the other
good wprk he has done, has recently
made a great improvement on Gorrell
street. '. The street has been cut down,
graded I and otherwise improved.
Gprrell promises to become one of
the most desirable residence streets in
the city
' j Nearlng Completion.
The new front to the store of the
Greensboro Hardware Company is

main street of our city.
