EDITOR ADvooATE:-Republicsn claim
that the Douglass house was the consti-
tutional house Of representatives, and
point to the decision Of the supreme
court to support their claim. Grant, for
the purpose Of argument, that their
claim is true. They also claim that q
Populist mOb attempted to keep the
legal house Of representatives out Of the
hall provided by the state for that body.
For the purpose of argument only, grant
that this claim is well founded. Repub-

unauthorized and revolutionary mob,
Douglass was justified in smashing in

Talking about woody politics, the

George Douglass, whom Judge Hor-

ePty. For the purposes Of discussion, let
US grant that this claim is also grounded
in truth. Upon these several claims auC
the grounds upon which they rest, 70
publCans also Justify the refusal oi
Sheriff Wilkerson to respond to the cal
Of the governor to preserve the peacC
and his extraordinary action in swearing
in and srming several hundred deputies
to oheckmate the chief executive Of the
state in an emergency which he, in his
discretion as Commsnder-in-ohief Of the
militia, deemed OF sufficient character tC
warrant the Intervention Of the military
arm Of state government. The orgsniza.
tion and srming Of the Welch brigade ID
justified by republicans upon the same
grounds. Let US admit, for illustration,
that all the claims Of the republicans are
true and just, and that such will be the
verdict Of history.
In view OF these conditional Rdmis-
sions, would it not have been an act Of
loyalty for the Santa Fe railroad COM
pRny to have furnished the hammer with
which Douglass smashed in the door Of
representative hRllP And what heroic
devotion to the welfare Of the state, un-
der the constitution and laws, would have
been manifested, to the lasting fame and
glory Of the Santa Fe road, il the man
Rgement Of that company had ordered
out it's shopmen when Gen. Welch tele-
phoned Capt. Peck for reinforcements!
And who would not have felt as il the
cup of his ambition had been filed to
oVeraowing, il he had furnished that
trophy Of victorious war, the iron sledge,
with which Douglass, with his own right
arm, let daylight through representative

And yet, in view of all these claims
and qualified admissions, the quiet Of
the day Of rest is disturbed by the pub
lication in sectarian newspaper of affi-
davits tending to show that the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
Company did not furnish the hammer
with which Douglass broke in the door
Of the hall Of the house Of representa-
tives-snd whyP Is not that company
devoted to the welfare of the ststeP Is
it not in favor Of the supremacy Of law?
Is it ashamed to have 1t said that it fur
nished aid and comforG to Generals Welch
and Wilksrson in their defense Of consti-
tutionSl government and constituted su-
thorityH This is no joke, and these
questions are not asked in jest. There
are psrtissns who will treat these re-
marks contemptuously, and brand the
writer as an anarchist. They are, il we
take their word for it, suprsmely and
always right, while those who do not
agree with them are supremely and al
ways wrong. A mans political convic-
tions are much like his religious views
and faith, and he is generally willing to
sacrifice himself upon the alter Of either.

through this medium all parties inter
ested in cooperative work that they are
prepared to meet the farmers at any pub
lic gathering in any part OF the union
to explain and advance the scheme
which they have for the promotion and
benefit Of all farmers organizations.
The picnics which are being held at this
time Of the year afford q most unusual
opportunity for the discussion Of matters
OF such public interest and Importance.
We have made arrangements with q
number of the most capable advocates
OF cooperative ideas as applied to the
farmer and his business relation with
the manufacturer to visit and address
such meetings. At the mass meeting at
Plymouth a short time ego, we were
represented and well received, and one
Of our speakers was held over to speak to
the people the next day. We will be

and marvellous as the achievements

He has been working at it for years
and has just succeeded. If the OPP

Be true to your convictions of right
and the world will be better for your
having lived.-Western Critic.
Most men are endowed with the
faculty to exercise his brain, and it
behooves every man to have convic-
tons and be true to them until he is
proved to be wrong. One man who
has honest convictions and is able to
tell why he believes a thing to be
right, and is willing for the evidence
that convinced him to be thoroughly
tested and weighed with the combin-
ed opposition, is far above party men
who never think for themselves, but
have all their ideas hinged on to the
opinion of some one else who is en-
deavoring to advance their own in
terest, which are antagonistic to those
of the follower.
AS long as the people march un-
der the crack of the party lash to the
tune of designing demagogues, as
dumb driven cattle to the butchers
pen, without even stopping to think
for themselves, so long may they ex-
pect to be duped and frowned down.
The doctrine of 'equal rights to all
and special privileges to none," will
never prevail until the masses are ed
ucated along this line, and their
thinking faculties exercised and de-
yeloped.

Mr.. EDIToR.-The Senator and
Representative from this county
(Franklin) in the last General AS
sembly are telling the people that
the amendment to the charter of the
State Alliance Business Agency was
satisfactory to the officers of the
said State Alliance. But | see in
your paper that the above statement
is false, and that the officers of the
State Alliance were notified that
they could either accept the amend
ment or see the charter repealed,
and the officers accepted the amend
ment rather than see the charter
repealed.
e., Please let me know the truth of
the matter at once. as l understand,
they (the Representatives. have
made some appointments to address
the people on the matter as there is
so much dissatisfaction expressed.
Yours fraternally

The essential principle of a Re
public is individual virtue. Does
any one doubt or will any one deny
this? Then those individuals who
stopped to dishonest and questionable
methods in the late election and who
suggested and taught dishonest
methods to others who had never
thought of them, are the worst enc
mics to republican form of gov
eminent. They are cankering and
eating sores in the body polite. If
this element long rules in any Re-
public, they will be the means of
destroying it. History records how
the masses of the honest people have
arisen in their might and installing
the form of government for the
cankering sore, have destroyed their
own government.

John wanamaker's Prediction.

JOhn w anamaker'B PREDICTION.
The postal service will be almost entirely
electrical 100 years from now. OF course
the railroads. and the steamboats,, and the
stages, and the horseback riders win still be
employed for the carriage of the mails, but
all business communications and all COM
munications of all sorts that are really in
tended to be quick will be transmitted by
telegraph and telephone, and both of these
means of transmitting intelligence will be
very greatly extended generally, as well as
applied to all the immediate business of the
postal service.
Free delivery will be universal. This and
the boxes for the collection as well as de-
livery Of mail at everybody's house and
business ofice-these things and the tele-
graph and telephone, with charges reduced
30 that the people may re1ly use them,
and extended enough to be within every
body's easy reach-these things and the use
of some electrical device In cities by which
the masses of mail In business centers may
be whizzed through tubes to receiving sta
tions-au these will make the postal serv-
ice SO much more useful and so much easier
to use that it will be used hundred times
as much hundred years from now
Thousands of small offices in the neigh
borhood of large cities will be abolished
because unnecessary, stations will be estab-
lished in their stead, and with the free de-
livery in the villages and out along the
lonely star rontes the country will become
more thickly populated The whole service,
by reason of the abolition of useless Offices
and the addition of modern facilities, viii
be mere economically administered. The
country will be divided into postal districts:
and routine matters by the thousand viii
be attended to much more promptly from
near postal centers The United States
postal service will be the greatest business
machine and the most businesslike great
business machine in the world.

The Great Aim of the Alliance.
w. L. PHILIPS.

Let the Alliance continue as here
tofore. AS an organization it has
done more to educate the masses on
political economy than all the parti-
ans political organizations for the last
thirty years. This has been accom-
plished by discussions in our SUBJ
ordinate Alliances and by provok-
ing opposition and investigation. The
growth in knowledge has been very
rapid. The advance in political
knowledge among the members of
our order is so pronounced that even
our enemies are amazed. Brethren,
our work has just begun. In our
organization the educational feature,
is more essential than ever. The
tendency of all branches of industry
henceforth will be to perfect their
present organizations. We, the most
numerous and conservative Of them
all. canAot with safety 1elinquish
our efforts. So long as we are watch
full of the interests of our organiza-
ton, just SO long will we be true to
our best interests as citizens. 1t is
to that broad and liberal demand
taught in our first declaration Of
principles alone that we can look
with perfect certainty for the per.
fecting of an Independent patriotic
ballot.
Let us not forget that eternal Wig
lance is the price of liberty. In
our organized capacity, as an ALI.
ance, let US continue to discuss prin.
ciples and measures in non-partisan
spirit, keep ever in mind the abso.
lutte Importance of a thoroughly or
ganized band of agricuIturists.

We have received more congratu-
lations on last weeks issue of The
CAUCASIAN than we ever have on an
issue before. THE CAUCASIAN is
"turning on the light" and fair
minded men of all political parties
are glad. 1t has been peculiarly
gratifying to receive congratulations
from men who voted the Democratic
ticket. The majority of the people
of North Carolina are working hard
for an honest living and believe in
fair play. They want to know the
truth, even though it makes them
sad that 1t is so. Honest men, who
have always been Democrats and
who are very partial to that party,
are panied to know the facts we are
publishing, but since they are facts,
they want to know the truth. This
is why they read THE CAUCASIAN.
