Senator Martini. PnsiiIon.

John W. Breidenthal. chairman OF the
Peoples Party state central committee
of K 'nsas, said in a recent interview: Ii
lies with Senator Martin to say whether
he will retain our friendship or not. He
must choose between us and President
Cleveland. If he supports the financial
policy of the president, he can receive no
PopulIst votes when the legislature
meets. In order to retain our friend
ship and secure our assistance he must
renounce the policies of the president
and must take a firm stand for the I'M
limited coinage of silver, for absolute
free trade, for the issuance of paper
money in such quantities as the people
may demand and for the absolute own
ership of all railroads by the general
government as well as their operation
by the salre power.
He may remain Democrat in the
congressional directory if he SO desires.
We care nothing for the name. But he
must cast his lot with us in all we ad-
vocate or else we will leave him at
home. He must not presume on his pc
ttion and attempt in any manner to ig-
more our principles. He cannot serve
the Democratic party and the Populists
at the same time. We have the power
to re-elect him or TO leave him at home,
to continue him in position which fills
his ambition or to place him back in
practice in the justice of the peace courts.
He can take his choice,

A Rose Party.

1t was on a pretty lawn In the month
of June, on old Prudence island. that
one of the sweetest, quaintest and most
enjoyable of lawn parties was given.
The host css, her friends who helped her
to receive and even the attendants were
dressed in u way that made one think of
wild roses at once. They wore rose col
ored skirts, pale green bodices and wide
yellow belts, with cunningly fashioned
caps like veritable wild roses: but there
was this differeBce-the attendants wore
cheesecloth and the others cashmere,
silk or challis. The house was profusely
decorated with these roses, which grow
there by the acre. Pasteboard fans
painted to initiate rose were mounted
on little bamboo handles. tied with a
wide rose coiored ribbon and handed to
each arriving guest. The japanese bas-
kets in which the napkins were passed
about We're covered with rose petals, and
in each napkin was folded a souvenir
consisting OF strip inches long of
wide white satin ribbon, fringcd ON each
end and painted with a rose or some
falling petals and an appropriate quota
ton or couplet.
When you turned this over. you found
that it was backed with rose colored rib
bon. forming little bag well filed with
dried rose leaves. Mine lies before me
now. and the scent of the roses clings
round it still" The ices were rose col
ored and pressed into rose molds, cakes
were iced with pink icing, and the lem
onade had a tinge of pink impaired to
it by crushed Strawberries. Let some

HON. MARION BUTLER AT PITTSBORO

Correspondence to The Caucasian
A very large and enthusiastic crowd
greeted our President at this place
on july the 4th. Although it was
scarcely known week before, all
sections of the country was well rep
resented besides quite number from
the adjoining counties of Orange,
Randolph and Moore
Promptly at IL o'clock Hon. W. F.
Strowd in most pleasant and APP
propriate manner introduced the ora
tor for,the day, who was greeted with a
hearty cheer from the sturdy yeo-
many of the surrounding country.
To attempt even a synopsis of the
speech would do great injustice to
the speaker, suffice it to say that for
two hours he held his audience spell
bound, speaking mainly upon the
great issues, tariff transportation aud
finances. Many were the truths ut
tered, many were the facts presented
that confirmed the faith of the true
reformers, and sent arrows of con-
vicUion to those who heretofore have
differed as to the means of getting
relief.
President Buffers method of hand
ling his subject was a source of graft
ticatlon to his many friend, but a
revelation to the moss backs" who
just come out to hear him ''through
curiosity" I'll Jared the professional
politician ard the editor who pre-
tend to be the friends Of the people
while yet they are the tools of mo-
nopoly or tht h red agents of some
Rail road who bidding they dare not
disobey. He handled them roughly
and rightly so. He told us of the low
down method of the last legislature
in trying to repeal the State charter
of the Alliance. We heard many
democrats say that sit was "a mean
thing for the Legislature to attempt
to steal the only charter eyer granted
to the farmers of the state" Some
of the democrats in this section are
beginning to awaken to a true sense
of the condition of things, and Bro
Butler helped to open their eyes last
Tuesday, for after the speaking was
over forty land his paper already
had quite an extensive circulation in
this county, came up and subscribed
for The CAUCASIAN some of whom
were follows of Cleyeland and Wall
Street last election, but not SO now.

cry farmer in n. G. could have heard
your speech last Tuesday.

Even Verse Than South Carolina.

New Hampshire is an agricultural and
manufacturing state. No cotton is raised.
There are s7.34S families in the state.
OF this number 80, 500, or a. IL per cent.
rent their farms or homes. and IS, so2, or
$3.50 per cent, own them. Only 1887
per cent of the population are farmers:
hence there should be no .'overproduc-
ton"
On the farms and homes of the state
Jan. /, 1890, there were mortgages to
the amount of 1926 1873, $4,219. 278
being on farms and 1904, 905 on town
and city homes. The average debt on
the encountered farms il STAG: on each
home, 1913. The average rate of in
terest is per cent.
Thus we find that New Hampshire Is
twice as much in debt as South Caro-
lima, and South Carolina has more than
three times the population. In other
words, the people Of New Hampshire
are six times as much in debt as the
people of South Carolina. -Progress;r

The following was sent from Buz-

To WALTER Q. GRESHAM, Score
tary of State, Washington, d. G..
The President is laid up with rheu-
matism in his knee and foot, and
will be out in day or two. There
is no occasion for any uneasiness.
ID. 5. LAMONT.
This trouble in the knees and
foot gives faint suspicion that the
President is suffering with an attack
of aristocratic English govt. Or it
may be that his trouble comes from
the same cause that gives a headache
to a young lady when she does not
want to be seen by common and
troublesome beau.

Our martyred leader. Lincoln, De-
clared that the system Of contracting
debt while there Were two kinds OF
money in circulation and then making
it payable in one kind was crime
against the people. The characterization
of silver was that crime-it was a blow
struck at the freedom OF the race. 1t has
been called the great commercial crime
of the age. and the time is not far dis
tant when the world will modify its APP
pellation antl it will be known as the
unspeakable crime of the century. Yet
the only thing advanced III extenuation
of the passage of the at was that con-
gress was hypnotized by the money
power. The two great political parties
are silent, religion is dumb in this crisis,
and it has happened that the teaching OF
the peoples sorrow has overlapped the
learning of the schools.
Today we hear the mighty sound OF
preparation III the land. The host il I'M

people are thinking. and thcy have dis
covered the trick to make money dear

The GrOwI of ''The Bench-leg Flee

The GrowI of 1.-THE Bench-leg Fice.'
Especial Cor. to THE CAUCAsIAN)
EDITOR THE CAUCAsIAN-You came
to our county last week in response
to an invitation and made US a
speech. Mr.. London, the editor of
our county paper, The Record, in
the next issue devotes nearly whole
column to you and your speech. He
did not give a synopsis of your
speech nor did he try to; he did not
reply to your speech nor did he try
to. His whole article is abuse and a
cowardly appeal to prejudice. He
said your speech was political
harangue full of "sophistries and
fallacies." Now, as one who heard
the speech | call upon him to deny a
single fact, to reply to a single argu-
ment, or to point out a single soph-
estry in the whole two hours speech.
When a man is unfair he damages
his own cause. No man in Chatham
county has damaged his party more
than the editor of The Record. He
tries to ridlcule the majority of the
people of his own county by refer
ing to them as a lot of misguided
followers of a second Moses" Now,
it has not been very long since Mr..
London tried to play Moses himself.
This bogus Moses, sometimes called
"the bench-leg fee of Chatham"
was so sure that he could pull the
wool over the eyes of the people
that he wrote down to Raleigh and
had his "seat in the promised land''
already picked out. But it come to
pass that when he went up on Mt.
Election he did not return. 1t is
supposed that his grave is there
though it is not recorded in history.
We want to urge our own MARY
Ann" to come to Chatham again.
Everytime you make such speech
here you will win over men to the
reform cause, and every time The
Record stoops to low and unfair
methods it drives good, honest, fair
minded men to as. Did you get a
rabbits foot while in Chatham9 II
