WHO is "REX"

Our attention has just been called
to a newspaper communication at
lacking the editor of this paper,
written by some one who hides be-
hind the non de plume of sRex.'
There are certain ear-marks about
the article which would indicate that
1t was written by some preacher
whose toes are more sensitive than
his conscience. But we can't believe it
was preacher, unless he is an uncon-
verted one, for a man who has grace
and is consecrated by God Almighty
to minister to other souls, could not
write such an article, and in the next
place, such man would not select a
paper published by a common liar
and contemplate scoundrel for his
mouthpiece. If Mr.. Rex, let him be
preacher or layman, will give his
name, we will reply to him if he is
worth Of notice.

BAREFACED MIsR-PREsENfATIoN


The North Carollnian referring tc
the criticisms being passed upon the
Legislature for trying to repeal the
Alliance charter says:
THE party men are mad because
they cannot use the interest on the
business agency fund to propagate
their false notions and continue their
deception of the people.
This is the milk in the cocoanut -
This charge that the funds of the
Alliance had been used for political
purposes was first made before and
while the Legislature was in session,
But the State Executive Committee
OF the Alliance the State Trustee of
the Agency fund gave the lie offici-
ally to every such charge and proved
1t by the books. This charge was
made to try to bolster up an excuse
Tor the Legislature to tamper with
our charter, and The Carolinian now
repeats 1t to try to excuse that BODY
Tor Its unfair and unjust action. The
Carollnian must learn to state the
facts as they are before it can with
IMMUNITY charge others with irving
TO deceive the people.

The event of last week was the
arrival in New York of the Duke
De'Veragua, the direct descendent
of Christopher Columbus. tits safe
to say that no foreign prince or
emperor could have received such a
hearty welcome or have created such
excitement throughout the country.
The plain American people are not
inclined to any great extent to hero
worship nor do they pride themselves
in a disply of royal pompt and
grandeur. But there is deep down
in every American heart feeling of
reverence for the man who first gave
to the world the magnificent domain
now called the American continent.
And this feeling of genuine respect
naturally decends to the living re-
preventative of the great explorer.
While the Duke De Veragua is
not wholly an insignificant character
on his own account yet the fact that
the blood of Columbus flows through
his views is his greatest attraction in
America. In his own country,
Spain, he has been honored by po-
sltions Of the highest trust, having
been minister of State and having
held other prominent positions.
Undoubtedly In whatever part of
this country he may travel he will
receive the most cordial and sincere
welcome His prime object in his
visit is to be present at the Worlds
Fair which is in commemoration of
the discovery Of his illustrous an
oestor.

The Staightouts of South Carolina
are demanding of Cleveland and the
departments, that the Alliance con-
gresham fl ON that state shall not
be recognized and allowed to distrib-
ute patronage. they charge that
these men are not Democrat. Now
the question again arises, what. is
meant by "Democrat?" If you mean
man who has no convictions of his
own, but waits for the bosses and
party manipulators to tell him what
to believe and then obediently swear
that those are his convictions and
yells for the party and votes the
ticket straight, right or wrong, then
no true Allianceman can be that
kind of Democrat. But if by Dem
ocrat you mean a man who is in IA
vor of honesty in election, and Of
equal rights to poor and rich alike
then that man cant help being an
Alllanceman whether he ever
joined lodge or not.

nOaOPOLYs poUTHPlsCE.

If the editor Of the News i OBJ
server is not willing tool and
mouthpiece of monopoly, then he is
one of the most pitiable specimen of
quite large class who are system
matically duped by monopoly. lie
is either blind victim himself or
else Is knowingly striving TO make
victims. And whether he is on this
or that horn Of the dilemma,
the tendency Of his paper If it has
any effect at ALL is to increase the
number Of victims. The following
Is the closing sentence of one Of his
editorials in which he laments the
fact that the South and West have
joined hands to protest against pres
ent conditions:
"And 50 it appears to us that the
present popular tendency is of fear
full import, and is by far the most
dangerous outcropping that this
country has ever witnessed"
lie sees no danger in the evil con
ditions Of which the people complain
and from which the people suffer. He
sees no danger Oh the corruption of
legislatures and congresses, Of the
centralizng of power in the hands of
monopolies; he sees no danger i'll the
contraction of the currency and the
concentration of wealth in the hands
Of few; he sees no danger IN stuff
fling ballot boxes and deprlving free
men of their votes, if done in the i'll
terets Of the Democratic party. But
he sounds an alarm and thinks it
"most dangerous" for the people to
begin to NEEDLE in the government
ard organize to demand justice.
Yes it is dangerous to monopoly, it is
dangerous to all who fatten from
the overproduction (?) of labor, it is
dangerous to the politicians, but it is
salvation for the people. He says in
same editorial that if the people
were to get their demands, they
would be disappointed when they
found that prosperity was not MADE
for them. That is true and the edi
tor unwillingly pays high tribute
to the modesty, fairness and honesty
of the people. For to have pros
perity MADE for us we would have
to demand and get special favors,
hut the people simply demand equal
rights and an opportunity to pros
per by their own labor. SO when
the people get their demands only
those will prosper who work and
they will prosper according to the
work done. But every trust and mo-
nopoly will have to be suppressed
before this time comes. If monop-
oily does not support paper like the
News Il Observer, it ought to,

Dear reader, do you remember the
men who were begging you so earn
estly and pathetically ON the stump
last fall to vote a certain ticket and
save the dear old party: They talked
about the great principles of their
party and told you how much inter-
ested they were in your welfare.
Where are those men now? Every
one scrambling and elamoripg for an
office. Is it not just possible that
selfishness prompted them to 90 on
the stump and swear that they were
greatly concerned about YOUR well
fare? Wonder if they were not then
thinking of the office they would get
if you should vote their way. Judg=
ing by their present actions they
thought very little about the people
and very much about themselves.
They are running up and down the
road between their homes and Wash
ington telling how much they did
for the party and begging for some
of the milk from the public tit. In
fact, Washington is full Of these fell
lows now and has been ever since the
election. Is not this the worse kind
of paternalism? Did not these fellows
swear that they were opposed to pa
ternallsm? Well, they are opposed
to it for the other fellow, but in ia
vor of it for themselves.

as a token of appreciation on the

The POWER OLA JUDGE FOR GOOD OR
BAD

The remarkable decision of Judges
Taft and RichS against labor aud III
favor of capital were discussed IN
the L. :. Senate last week in con-
nection with resolution instruc,ing
the Committee OF Interstate Com
merce to inquire into that and other
subjects, and quite long and inter-
esting debate resulted. We are glad
to see that there are some Senators
who have the manhood 10 condemn
such prostitu ton of she power of the
courts. Sepa tor VOORHEES, Ia closing
his speech reviewing the facts and
law in the case said he had only this
to say in regard to the judiciary:
THAT when bad laws are enacted,
when mistakes are made, some Judges
are glad to mitigate those laws and
to show no pleasure in their enforce
ment, but there were other judges
who grasped after power, who loved
power for its own sake, and enforce
it rigidly.
Jefferson, the great apostle Of
popular liberty in this country, fore
seeing that danger, had once said
that the Federal judiciary were, the
sappers aid miners of constitutional
liberty" and Mr.. Voorhees, added, $50
they are, such OF them as have with
greedy thirst and hunger to en-
force laws of this kind to their ut
most limit. | think that the Com
mlttee on Interstate Commerce can
not be better employed than in in
quiring into this dangerous quest on.
We are delighted at the action of
the Senate. The newspapers and
politicians that are controlled bv
monopolies have labored systematic
cally for years to throw around the
courts kind of bogus halo and
sanctity. They have tried to teach
the people to hold the courts in
veneration and awe. And when a
man has dared to condemn an un-
just decision they have jumped on
him and criticised him for not hay-
ing proper respect for the judicial
ermine, and all that. There has
been method in all this, for in tie
meantime the monopolies have
strlven harder to control the courts
than they have Congress and Legis-
lature. 1t is time for the people to
realize this and stop dealing in SEN
timent. A Judge is simply a man
and too often not model man. He
is poor weak human flesh and is lust
as liable to err as another man, be-
sides he is as susceptiable to tempta
tlonas the average man. When Judge
makes decision clearly unjust, pub
lie opinion should at once condemn
him. When such is the case the
Railroads and other monopolies will
lose their influence over the courts.
