Hon. MARION BUTLER, DEAR SIR
and BRO.-I cannot speak two high
ly of your noble paper The CAUCA-
SIAN. It's coming is hailed with de-
light by every member of the family
and It's contents are not only read by
us, but We have adopted the plan of
read and hand it to your neighbor
thereby hoping to aid in the cause
of reform and perhaps inducing 9th
ers to subscribe to your paper. There
would be no trouble to secure sub
scribers from a good many farmers
and every one has made the same re-
ply, Il would be so glad to SUBJ
scribe for | like the paper, but have
not the money to pay for it." | am
convinced that one subscription
would insure another for its pleas
ant visits are like a CLEAN of sun
shine athwart the rugged pathway
of the struggling laborer, and as he
reads the words of truth contained
in its pages he is inspired with hope
and his courage is renewed by the
knowledge that you are on the
watch tower, and will "cry aloud
and spare not'.
| assure you that you have a great
hold on the hearts of the common
people, that is the laboring classes
who will stand by you in any emer-
gency. You are fighting their bat
ties and they viii not let you stand
alone. In this county, brunswick
last fall every candidate on the Peo-
pies party ticket was elected by a
large majority yet the board of can
vassers counted them out alleging
that the paper on which the tickets
were printed was not white which
was VIGOROUSLY false. Their action
in this matter has been very damag
ing to the Democratic party in this
county, and | have yet to meet one
who has the effrontery to speak in
vlndieation of the dastardly proceed
ings. So we say Lay on ,Maeduff, ,
"Turn the light and may success.
crown your efforts.
Yours truly,

Mr.. EDIToR.-I wish to make cor
rection in IA communication in your

Downing" which reads aS follows:
''One of her boys has been to Wash
ington to try to get the negro turned
out of the Post office at Fayetteville
But Mr.. Cleveland did not like him
for he knew that Cumberland county
got herself in mess with that same
fellow because he was accused of
stealing several thousand dollars
worth of coupons that was deposit
ed in his safe of which the County
Treasurer had his receipt for; he
being ex-speaker of the House he
was not prosecuted 1t is said that
the above charge was false though it
was circulated. The County Treas
urer did not have any ones receipt
for the coupons. The matter was
settled and the county didn't loose a
cent. Therefore | hasten to make
the correction. DUNK DOWNING.

To THE PUBLIC.

| have been requested by some Of
those who are now engaged in the
preparation of 1.-The National CYCLIC
peedia of American Biography" TO
try to procure the autographs of the
following named Governors of
North Carolina: James Turner,
David Stone, William Hawkins,
Jesse Franklin, James Iredell Ben.
Williams, Nathaniel Alexander, Ben.
Smith, William Miller, Gabriel
Holmes, John Owen, Montford
stokes.
1t the newspapers of the State
will kindly give this request one Or
two insertions they may do the
State some service in trying to
rescue from oblivion the nanlesand
autographs of many of our early
Governors. If any of the news
papers or any other person can as
certain the country in which any one
of said Governors resided at the
time of his death, and Will inform
me of the same, he or they will
oblige me by SO doing. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that any man
who was prominent enough to be
Governor of North Carolina must
have left his autograph among some
of the records of his county.
1t is proper to remark that | have
no interest in this matter except as
a citizen of the the State.

The Other Side.

A member of one of the largest
business houses in Baltimore writes
us the following letter:
HoN. MARION BUTLER, DEAR SIR
II your circulation is as stated, and
1 presume it is, then your terms are
not too high. IL business was at all
good, would not hesitate to give
you the order. This leads me to ask
why is business so dulls Why is cot
ton so lowi What has reduced the
value of naval storesg What has re-
duced the price of stocks and made
bankers and capitalists so nervous
and anxious in the past few weeksl
Among manufactures, jobbers and
all our most intelligent financiers,
then comes but one answer to these
important questions. they all with
one voice, say too much silver aud
too little gold. The United States,
the richest nation in the world, is
giving her gold to wiser, and weaker
nations in exchange for silver. And
as gold is the standard coin of the
world, it NATURALLY finds its way
where it is most appreciated: Our
serious loss is the gain of England,
France and Germany. This being
true, the next question is, who is to
blames As politics controls all
things then, which one of the three
political parties is most the blame!
Yours the Populist (you now call it) il
of course, TO blame. Silver is your
metal. AS | understand you, you
want to com all the silver in this and
other lands into American silver
coin. The southern and western
democrats, are also to blame. The
President and Cabinet, as / un-
derstand them, are all right, but can
do absolutely nothing without the
cooperation of the Senate and Rep
resentatives. If they viii only re-
peal the Sherman bill and give US a
sound currency, our great wealth
and unlimited resources will, as
they should do, attract capital from
abroad, bring our gold back and
make us not only the richest but most
prosperous nation in the world, and
enable us to give you an "ad- mutu-
ally. beneieially, not monthly but by
the year. Yours truly,

PROTEST AGAINST HIS METHOD.
ChOctaw Indians Incensed at Inspec to
Paul Faison's Investigation.

Paul Faison's Investigation.
PARIS, Texas, June the 2.-Inspec-
tor F. Faison. who was sent by the
Interior Department to investigate
the Choctaw troubles, and has for
several days been inquiring into the
charges made against Indian Agent
Bennett, has stirred things up in the
Choctaw Nation. Instead of settling
matters, it seems that he has made
them worse.
Yesterday large mass-meeting of
full-bloods was held at Sugar Loaf,
in the Choctaw Nation, where Sc
ries of resolutions were unanimously
adopted After recounting the trou
bles and discussions among them,
they declared that they have watch
ed Faison's course, and charge that
he is ignorant of the Choctaw laws;
that he likes deliberatiOn and firm
ness; that he has been unfair in his
investigations, and that he has re-
fused to summon material witnesses;
that instead of conducting himself
as fair and impartial officer with
out reference to parties or factions,
he told various persons that if they
wanted to win and retain the Offices
of the nation they ought to have
managed the elections as he and his
people did by fixing the ballot boxes,
and stated how it was done where he
came from; that such conduct was
unbecoming an officer in his posi-
ton, and tended to corrupt and al
ienate an already distressed and en-
FILTERED people; that he is not the
| man to settle this trouble, but will
increase it; that in the interest of
harmony he should at once be re-
placed by fair, impartial, and dis
Greet man: that they will not coop
crate with any unfair man, and en-
tered a solid protest against his fur

rious charge, and Mr.. IFaison should
be downed at once. The fact of his
being ignorant of the laws under
which he is to act and want of firm
ness and fairness is enough to dis
, qualify. But aside from this, if he, a.
it is charged, was engaged in a dis
. Reputable (disreputable in the eyes
of honest men) election transaction

BLAND, n. C.-Mr. Grady thinks
the hair of the dog is good for the
bite. Last fall the Democratic bosses
offiliated with the Republicans to
take out Democrat Postmasters and
Postmlstresses for campaign affect
thinking it would drive the wife man
TO tina Democrats ranks and il did
so to IA great extent. Now he goes
TO Washington and tells his gang
that this hightone Democrat con
stituents are highly insulted and
wants Miss Watson put back in Office
at kenansville and the negro remov-
ed at Fayetteville.
They no doubt think that they
can now remove the two negro Post
masters which they themselves had
appointed and then claim that they
are the white mans patty sc. But
they will not fool anybody by this
dodge. The people have gotten
their eyes open and can begin to see
into the tricks of the politicians. We

KITRELL, n. c., May Goth, 1893.
DEAR BRO. RUTLER.-I have Just
read THE CAUCASIAN of May Is, 1893.
1t is one of the brightest and best.
1t is one of the best papers in the
South with only one exception. Your
bar-room advertisement is n blot of
deepest color. 1t is inconsistent for
you to publish Rev. Thomas Dixons
sermon, on the modern saloon, which
contains this sentance: 1.-The saloon
as an institution swings open more
doors To hell than any other power"
And then in your reform paper adj
vertise these open doors to hell, as IL
you wished your readers to find these
and pass through them to the regions
of the damned. Oh! consistency
thou art a jewel. A goodly number
of your patrons are eager for the ut
ter destruction of the whole liquor
business. and we do not wish to be
partners in the saloon, to the extent
of circulating an advertisement of
the very thing we denounco. Take
out, and keep out, your advertise
ment of the saloon. Then oour pa
per will be equal to the best and
purest. Bro. Butler, come forth
with clean hands and pure heart
if you would claim the blessing of
GOD in this grand reform movement.
Thy friend and brother,
j. Ii. GTLBREATH.
