WE PITY THE FELLOWS.

1.-The Herald learned something to-
lay which was really surprising.
Ehird party men ali over Rowan
county are saying that the last Con
eress, which WIS Democratic, voted
an increase of salary to each men,
Der of 800 per month, or l,20O per
rear, to enable them to have clerks.
fbese charges are not confined to
&c locality, but are general. Three
gentlemen from different
sectiOns of the country told us this
d Forming that the charges mad been
Jade TO them.
We don't know where the Third
tarty folks got the information, but
s is believed to have been furnished
II boss Mary Ann Butler. 1t is alb
splutely without foundation, how
eTer. The only representative in
Eongress who has a private secretary
s the Speaker of the House, and
tnls has been the custom for years.
All Of the principal committees of
the House have secretaries, as they
are compelled to have, but these off
ees have been standing for years and
we're not created by the last Congress.
Thai body did not vote its members
any increase of pay either for private
seeretaries or otherwise, and no man
oI common intelligence would believe
oh a false report Salisbury
Harald.
Is it possible that the Herald man
lows no better than to make the
8kpve assertion? He is the first man
<o deny it. The Hon. B. F. Grady
afA not deny it but admitted it and
ed to justify himself for voting for

kSerald knew no better we would feel
e@ strained to say in the language of
ed Savior: Father forgive him

believe he is lying, and lying for
De-. He knows he has onlg to say
not true and many of his party
II will not cad the truth, will be
fiy TO swear it is so. As an evil
Zee of this the MoOresville Regis
says, he does not know whether
q true or not, but takes it for
|nted or the Herald would not as
1t. We say we believe he is lying,
Is our opinion, others have diff
MT opinions, for we heard Dem
Tic editor say that if he was a
ing man he would say he was a
fool. This is his opinion, so in
estimation of two editors who
e expressed their opinion, he is
P. a liar and a fool. He can take
holce Of epithets.

ENDORSES OUR COURSE.

SquealingMiss "Marv Ann will not stop
the truth or keep the people from seeing it.
The Clyde Register says:
marion Buffers castigations of
the Democratic party and the party s
North Carolina election law are fear
full. Every shot hits the beast be-
tween the eyes and 1t is only a ques-
ton of time, and for the sake of lib
erty and justice and an honest ballot,
let us hope very short time, when
the death stroke will be delivered and
fraud and corruption in our elections
become thing of the past. The tell
ing blows of THE CAUCASIAN cannot
be warded off by squealling "Miss
Mary Ann" The sensible people are
l;steningto facts and reason more than
ever before, and no amount of sneers &
contemptuous illusions will answel
in their stead. A majority of the vo-
tiers Of this State are opposite th,
party in power and they are not 60
ing to tolerate election frauds an,
longer.

DON We MON

Why will any part of the peopI
be fooled by the oily tongue Of th
politician.
Don't We ali know that the poll
tician Is nothing but the hired too
and mouth piece Of the monopolies,
the money trust and every combina-
ton that is expressing the people
Dou I We all know that the monop-
olles and trusts are running this
country now Then now could the
politician have influence with the
powers that be and get offices, &c,
II he were not cheek by iowl with
them The people want reform,
they want a change of conditions,
yet some of us listen 10 and follow
the hired tools of the very powers We
are fighting. This is folly worst
COMPOUNDED.
Don't We know that these men,
and newspapers run by such men,
Will try to hide, cover up and ex-
plain any and everything wrong that
is done, and on the other hand
magnify and blow the least little
thing that they can claim to their
credit
Don't We know that when We be-
gin TO demand some specific reform
that they either ridicule it or else
try to show us that we don't need it !:
Don't we know fu. her that when
we begin to show signs of determina-
ton and of uniting on any one de-
mand that then they are always up
and ready to offer us some other re-
form in the place of it, that they say
sis something better::'
Don't we know that the past hist
DRY of the world has shown that the
substitute offered by the politicians
(the agents of the powers that are
expressing the people, has never CIV
eli the people relief, -that it was
simply dodge to side-t track and
divide the people?
Don't we know that every reform
ever gotten that gave any justice
or relief, originated among the peo-
pie and had to be demanded and
fought for to the bitter end before
the people got il?
How much longer will we be as
clay III the hands of these scoundrels
who rob our children's mouths of
bread .?
Oh, how long before we will think
for ourselves and have the sense and
the manhood to stand together and
fight and vote for that which is
right and good and just.
God of justice and mercy, hasten
the day,

The Bird That BefouIs its Own Nest

If the Charlotte Observer was half
as well posted as it thinks it is, it
would know that j. A. Stevens was
delegate to the last State Allian' 9
and voted for the very transactions
he is now railing against. And if
J. A. Stevens and other traitors knew
how small they appear to the eyes
of the very people they are trying
to please, they would kick themselves
to death. The truth is, traitors to
anything are looked upon, even by
the greatest rascals, as unworthy
of notice, and the best men in the
Democratic party cannot tolerate
traitors, we are sure. IL j. A.
Stevens wanted to quite the Allianc.
he had that hight and should have
done so as a gentlemen, not as n
fool.-Progressive Farmer.

THE BANK OF NEW HANOVER FAT {

On Monday morning Juue the
18th, the doors of the Bank of New
Hanover did not open. 4 notice
was posted on the door by ". l..
Smith, Cashier. this was due 10 the
fact that about half million dol
lars OF deposit were called for, which
could not be readily paid out. How
ever, he claims that all deposits will
be paid i'll full. The liabilities of the
Bank, are about eight hundred thous-
dollars $780, 900 while it is claimed
that the assets will be twelve
hundred and fifty thousand. dollars
An assignment has been made 20 Mr..
Junlus Davis. A run was also started
on the Wilmington Savings Il Trust
Co.. but it is thought that it will be
abb to stem the tide without closing
its doors. The farming and the la
boring people have already learned
through the dear school of expert
ence, of the brutal eauty Of he 'De, t
financial system that the world ever
saw. The cruel tidal wave of con-
traction is now striking the Mercan-
tile, and Banking Houses. They too
certainly should he able to learn in
the school of experience at least, as
the masses have done before them.
We want to take this occasion to gay
again. that the government should
guarantee too depositors Of Banks
the full amount of money deposited.
Ii this were done, the government
would see that all these concerns
were on a safe basis. What is
the use of paying for Bank Inspec-
tors, if they fail to inspect, or don't
know sound Bank after they do in

"The Herald learned something
to-day which was really surprising.
Third party men all over Rowan
county are saying that the last Con
gress, which was Democratic, voted
an increase of salary to each MEM
Der Of 500 per month, or 200 per
year, to enable them to have clerks.
These charges are not confined to
one locality, but are general. Three
responsible gentlemen from different
sections of the country told us this
morning that the charges had been
made 10 them.
We don't know where the Third
party folks got the infol nation, but
1t is believed to have been furnished
by boss Mary Ann Butler. 1t is alb
solutely without foundation, how
ever. The only representative in
Congress who has private secretary
is the Speaker of the House, and
this has Deen the custom for years.
All of the principal committees of
the House have secretaries, as they
are compelled to have, but these
offices have been standing for years
and were not created by the last
Congress. That body did not vote
its members any increase of pay
either for private secretaries or 9TH
erwise, and no man Of common in
telligence would believe such false
report. We have seen no such charge
in any newspaper published by the
Third party and don't believe any
such paper with the slightest regard
for truth and honesty would publish
it. The men who are circulating the
charges in Rowan county ought to
know better. They only read their
pet organs, however, and can not be
expected to learn the truth about
anything. They are to be pitied and
their blind faith seen in one Of the
vile sheets they get is lamentable.
We are truly sorry for them.-Salis-
bury Herald, May, goth, '93.
Is it possible that we have ID man
capable of editing a paper who will
manufacture and publish a lie upon
the honorable men who compose
Congress? We hav'nt access to a
Congressional Record or we would
see for ourself but we take it that
the editor of the Herald would not
assert it sis absolutely without foun-
dation" if there were any reason for
believing the charge made, and there
fore conclude it must be lie out Of
the whole cloth. We do not think,
however, that the men who have been
misled by these newspaper reports
should be censured laughed at as
being ignorant. We are glad that
the day has not come when our peo-
pie will refuse to believe what they
read i'll the newspapers. 1t should
make no difference with man
whether he agreed with the political
sentiments of the editor, or not, as
to whether he could believe a state
ment of facts found in the papers.
Newspapers cannot afford to misrep-
resent facts, and when found doing
so should, and we believe will, be
spurned by. the public. We have
no doubt that the gentlemen who
have been led to believe this story
will give their authority for it and
the author can be found out. ''Turn
