HOME AMI WALKING DRESSES WITH OoP
words, Hoops are coming in vogue" for I
felt that there was no need of awakening
false alarms, but it is not possible to hide
a fact that is becoming most obtrusively
apparent. They now have reached only to
the preliminary stage, but before summer
is over they will be furnishing occasion for
much comic illustration, and many old
jokes will be revived and polished up to
suit the occasion.
The wearers of hoops will somehow man
age to find grace to bear it all, just as they
did during the hustle period. If the mas
culine portion of the world would only at
tend to the style and fit of their own
clothes, women would have no incentive to
rush into extremes, for, l am sorry to say,
that 1t is a spirit of mild bravado that
causes the women to wear dresses that
their men folks" abuse. But between
the different motives that actuate the sexes
in the discussion of extremes in dress and
the feminine necessity of looking as well
as her neighbor not only hoops but nose
rings may come.
We all know what brought the previous
infliction of hoops, but it is hard to say who
is responsible for this one, for Empress Eu-
genie in her trailing weeds does not lead
the fashion now, and the bright young
prince who presaged the advent of hoops
lies dead. But we have got to take hoops
whether we wish or no, and / feel confident
that not one woman out of q thousand real
ly wants them. They are ugly, ungrace-
full, immodest and vulgar. They are tor
ture to the wearer who sits OF them and
misery to others. There is not one thing
that can be said in their favor. They are
expensive and soon lose shape, and the
steels break and sometimes infiict danger
GUS wounds; but all this is as nothing when
women get started like sheep after their
leader.
They are in themselves expensive, and
they require that skirts, dresses and wraps
should all be widened, and this requires
more cloth. Today a dressmaker can get a

The k Of TOYS.

Great efforts are making in Vienna to
build up there a toymaking industry to
compete with the famous factories of Ger
many and France. An exhibition of toys
is now being held in the Austrian capital,
at which all the best models of German
and French toys are shown for the Vien-
nese artisans to copy.

Sugar In the sandwich Islands.

The people of the Hawaiian Islands raise
a good deal more than enough sugar for
tea and coffee sw~eetening purposes. These
little islands, which are celebrated prin-
cipally for orange bitters, volcanoes and
rulers with unpronounceable names, last
year exported 254, 66e, 271 pounds of sugar.
And the people don't work very hard there
either.

He was born in what was then a very out
of the way district in southern Indiana,
March II, 1882, and was able only by strict
economy to attend the state university for
one year, yet he was spoken of as q man OF
considerable learning when u candidate for
the legislature. The local standard was
not high, and as he shad been to college"
the fact that he never graduated was not
thought of. He served with credit in the
legislature, entered the army as lieutenant
colonel of the Thirty-eighth Indiana, won
the rank of brigadier general in the field
and was breveted major general while dis
abled by wounds. His subsequent career as
Judge, postmaster general, secretary of the
treasury and judge again is familiar to the
public.
A little adventure with a lunatic in his
Office in Chicago last year illustrates his
nerve. A very genteel looking man called
on him when alone, and flew minutes later
the Judge walked into the United States
marshal's Office with the man and peremp-
torily ordered that Marshal Hitchcock
should turn over to this gentleman that
$1,000 which Jay Gould had sent for himp'
The tone even more than the words was a
hint that something was wrong, and the
police were called in. 1t took four Of them
to handle the stranger, and even then they
got some ugly blows. The lunatic had a
murderous looking knife on his person, and
the indications were that he would have
used it on Judge Gresham but for the lat
ter's sauvity and address.
The judge has been accused Of being a
free trader, a socialist and an atheist. As
to the last item, 1t is certain that his par
ents were Methodists and he attended that
church In early life, but is now an attend
ant on Professor SWINGS church in Chicago.
When questioned on the subject, he replies
that he believes in a God and a future life,
but does not wish to be rigidly cross exam

A Clock Two Centuries Old.

Mrs. Catherine Oyler of Kokomo, Ind, is
the owner o what is probably the Oldest
wooden clock in the United States. It has
been in the possession of her family for
several generations. The clock was be-
queathed to Mrs. Oyler by her father, John
Woodring Of Preble county, o., who died a
short time ago, aged 93. The clock is OF
English manufacture, of the style known
as the wall sweeper" made by Reed &
Ward in the year I'LL. The case is of Eng
lish black walnut, and oil parts of the run
ming gear are constructed Of wood. 1t is Z
feet tall and weighs 115 pounds. 1t has been
ticking away for 1872 years without a stop
and has never been repaired. The wooden
wheels show little or no wear, and it is ap-
parently good for another century or more,
ticking away as merrily, truthfully and
tunefully as it did in England nearly two
centuries Ago..

NOW is THE TIME.

To push the circulation of The

The heat and passion of the last
campaign has passed away.
The people are now in "think-
ing mood" To read paper like TIL
CAUCASIAN every week will make a
convert of nine men out of ten be-
fore the next campaign opens.
They will then see that it is to
their duty to wash their hands of
the two old monopoly ridden parties.
They will see that it is to their in=
terest to vote for the Populist candi-
date for congress.
There has never been a better time
to get the truth and the facts before
the people. If there is member OF
the Populist party IN your commu-
nity who is not reading, get him tc
take The CAUCASIAN by all means
A man who does not keep up with

will soon be dead weight on the

ThE hOeGOOO NEEING AGAIN

We closed our editorial on the
Hobgood meeting last week rather
hurriedly 10 leave for Greenville,
where we spoke on Tuesday. We
wish TO say that Hon. VI. l.. Wood,
Of Berthe, was present at the meet
ing, and in answer TO the call from
the audience made an excellent
speech, which showed thought and
careful preparation. Rev. T. W.
Babb, Of the Perquimans Record,
was a 50 present. He has for long
time been a member Of the Alliance,
but has just come to the conclusion
that there is no way to get the ALI
ance demands except through the
Populist party. HIS paper The
Record) is squire in the middle of
the road, and will do great good for
the cause in Eastern Carolina. In
answer to a call for speech he arose
and said, that he would not attempt
to make a speech but to do what the
times and the situation made it the
duty of every patriot to do, that was,
to tell on which side he stood. Mr..
Babb then proceeded to explain why
his conscience and sense of duty
forced him to renounce the Demo-
cratic party and to enlist in the fight
for humanity under the Populist
banner. He said that he voted for
Mr.. Cleveland and the Democratic
party in the last campaign, but that
he had been deceived, and from now
Oh he said that he was with the peo-
pie no matter what the consequences
were. Mr.. Babb is a gentleman of
fine appearance and excellent deliv-
cry. Both speeches made fine inn
preston.
OUR RAILWAY MILEAGE AND TRAVEL
The statistical report of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, of
which an abstract was published in
the " Washington) Post recently, is a
valuable and instructive compilation
of railway data for the year ending
June 30, 1892. 1t shows the total
railway mileage of the country to
have been up to that time between
III 600 and 172,OOO miles.
A more recent estimate, including
the following six months, as made
by Poor's Manual, makes the total
length of track laid to December 81,
1892, 175, ,223 miles, over 5000 miles
having been completed since the
close of that fiscal year, and the
net increase of mileage during the
year being nearly 1000 miles.
The vastness of this system is more
impreSsiveiy realized when we take
into consideration that the total
number of passengers carried by the
railways for the year named was
56O,95S,211, or nearly nine times the
total population of the United States.
If these passengers had been car
ried at the rate of one and a half
cents a mile, it would have still made
handsome profit for the railroads.

JUDGE gtTTLE

As announced in The CAUCASIAN
last week, Judge Connor has tender
ed his resignation 10 take effect Oct.
the goth, and Gov. Carr has appoint
ed 10 fill the vacancy Mr.. Jacob =.
Battle of Rocky Mount. This ap-
poIntment Is surprise. If Mr. Bat
tie has any marked ability as law
yer, he has certainly succeeded in
conceallng the fact. To try 10 draw
attention from this fact, the party
organs, " hen referring to the appoint
ment, lay stress on the fact that Mr..
Battle belonged TO one of the upper
ten ''best families" This smacks of
English Goldfish arlstocracy. But it
Is the kind of appointment We might
have expected our "me too" Govern
or to have made. 1t is reported
that Governor Railroad Carr before
making the appointment telegraphed
to Conductor Jarvis for orders. If
this is incorrect, We will be glad to
make correction. We also under
stand that Mr.. Battle (the new
Judge, Is the attorney for the W. 4
W. X. Il. Was it this fact that re-
commended him to the reform Gov
.ernor: The people will also remem-
Der that this Mr.. Battle, who is to
perform the grave and very import
ant duties of Judge in our State, was
a member of the last legislature,
when the unfair, cowardly and con-
temptible effort was made to repeal
the charter of the State Alliance
Did this man, Gn whom Gov. Carr
says he has found the proper quail
ties for just and righteous judge,
rise and protest against such unjust
action and indecent haste about so
grave and important matter: Did
he even protest that it was at least
unfair to take snap judgment on the
Alliance and repeal its charter with
out even giving them hearing: The
crime against justice and fair play
committed by the Legislature, (to
which Mr.. Battle was party, was
not committed on the spur of the
moment when tumultuous action
prevented the mind from having an
opportunity for due deliberation; but
it was crime, the result of premed-
itation and deliberation. Then Mr..
Battle, one of the perpetrators of
this crime, Is either wanting in suffi-
cient intelligence to understand the
nature and result of his action, or
else he is wanting in those qualities
of mind and heart which not only a
Judge, but even Il justice of the
peace should have. A Judge should
be a man with that quality of heart
and poise of mind that the rights of
the poor, the unprotected, even if
absent, would be as carefully guard
ed as if present and represented by
the ablest counsel. Mr.. Battle must
be born again both in mind and
spirit, before he will measure up to
such Il standard. Is it possible that
it was also his conduct in the last
Legislature as well as belonging to
'.the best family that recommended
him to Governor Carr? We can't
blame Mr.. Battle so much for being
what he is, for probably the leopard
could hot change his spots, but the
moral refraction of the Governors s
executive glasses need adjusting, so
that he can find a man without those
spots tnat mark man with mind
narrow enough and a soul small
enough to make typical blind par
tisan.

Whenever one of the PARTISAN pa
pers is unable to answer the argu-
ments of THE CAUCASIAN it squeals
"Miss Mary Ann" We always know
we have got the hypocrites down
when they resort to this. Some fools
are very amusing.
