days since a negro in Greensboro
was appointed mail clerk while
/ there were Il number of white men
and Democrats applying. Thi:
kind of thing does not suit the

But they are simply now reapine

Your correspondent was told a
few days ago that certain Congress
men are now sending
out thousands OF pounds Of
extra mail matter, at the request
of the railroad companies, over
such lines as the weights are now
being taken. on which to form esti-
mate for the next four years. There
Is no estimating the amount Of
money that such tools
Of the corporations have defrauded
the people ont OF in this way.
We have it on good authority.
that during the weeks last year that
the weights were being taken of the
mail, on which the government
formed the estimate to pay railroad
for carrying the mail for the next
four years, that Cheatham had tons
of extra mail matter sent to one
point, and then resent to another;
and at last returned To him to get
it wei ghed number of times, so
so as to run up the estimate.
This was done under Republi-
can administration, why does not
this Democratic administration ex-
pose it? Or are the Democrats also
in league with railroads and doing
the same thing again!
Just as we are closing this letter
we hear that Mr.. Cleveland has issued
an order closing the White House
against effice-seekers. We don't
think this is true, for nothing
of the kind has ever been done be-
fore.
Since the above was written your
correspondent has learned that Cleve-
land has given away to the politi-
clans and agreed to remove the ne
gro postmaster at Kenansville. 1t
is thought that Miss Maryann Wat
son, who held the place for twenty
years under Republican and Demo
cratic administrations. and who
was only removed last fall, will be re-
appointed.

THE CAUCASIAN CAUSING HARD
FEELINGS.
The Politicians and the Court House
Rats Complain of

Rats" Complain oft.
Mr.. Editor of the "court
house rats of my county said the
otherday day that THE CAUCASIAN
was causing more hard feelings be-
tween the people than any other pa
per in the state, He then went on
to use very abusive language. !
can't see myself that you are trying
to cause any bad feelings between
the people. l. seems to me that YOU
are for settling all things in the most
peacable way. You can publish this
II you to wish, sign "CITIZEN. >
In reply to "Citizen" we will say
that there is some truth in what the
aforesaid "Court house rat'' said.
The CAUCASIAN is causing some bad
feelings between some very good men
and some politicians. When sim
ply telling the truth and stating facts
about pubhcmatters causes bad feel
lngs, then it ought to be caused. If
the truth about the election, the ac-
ton of congress and the Legislature
makes good people loose confidence
IN the politicians and causes the pol
ltlclan TO cuss us instead of answer
ing what We say, then we are doing
the honest man a favor. The political
scoundrels who cheat, lie and steal at
elections are always ready for peace
when they have committed their frauds
and gotten fixed themselves. Yes
they want peace. They don't want
any unkind feelings with any body.
They don't want any thing said about
the past Of course the paper that
exposes their crimes and hypocricy
Is disturbing their peace and arous-
ing the great Indignation of good
honest people. This THE CAUCASIAN
is doing. Yes We plead guilty, THE
CAUCASIAN is causing some bad feel
ings.

THE BACK TAX OUTRAGE.

We see in the Democratic news
papers every now and then, that
Sheriff so and so has just received
from the W. & W. r. T., such and
such an amount; the back taxes for
the years go, 81, and '92, paid in
under the settlement made by the
last Legislature. They give this as
a piece of Wholesome news. 1t is
wholesome of course. We all feel
good to know that the public treas
ury is kept all 0. X. No one wants
to see deficiency but it strikes us
that if We were editing Democratic
ring sheet now, We should feel like
we were stepping on dangerous
ground every time we mentioned the
back tax question. Our kind bene-
factors fail to tell the people that
the last Legislature had nothing to
do with the paying in to the Sheriff's
of the State the r. r. tax; only so
far as to their generosity to the r.
X. and their eternal hate for the
people they prevented the amounts
paid in from being from 3 to 10
times the amount that is paid in.
The previous Legislature is respon-
slble for the tax being paid. The
hail Road Commission, the child of
the Alliance, and a Legislature of
Alliance members has done all this,
and only for its efforts the r. R. would
to day be defying the people and
going on building Branch roads
under this charter exempting their
main line. The last Legislature did
nothing but compromise the State.
The Branch Road question of exemp-
ton had been settled for all time to
come and We were in a position to
compel the Main Line to surrender
Its exemptions for the future; thing
that common justice demanded thev
should do; especially so when viewd
from Democratic stand point, that
the days of protection of infant in
fant industry have passed. Tell the
people that Sheriff so and so has
just collected such and such an
amount, small per cent. of what
he would have collected had not a
kall Road Legislature prevented
him and you will be telling the
unyarnlshed truth, and that is what
the people want To hear

the power to add up the figures sent
to them, and 10 declare the general
results in the counties. BY the
amendment they can "send for pa
pcrs aud persons and they have
every power to inquire into, and de-
eide upon, every question arising in
the precincts. They may thus ALSO
lutely change results, indeed they did
do it in more than 30 counties last
fall.
The purpose is evident. If the
precincts should have the final power,
there could be no concert of action
between tie various polling places,
if fraud should be intended. AS it
is, the county canvassers may tahe a
general view Of the election through
out the counties. They may throw
out this precinct, or cut off votes
from that one. They may decide
upon every question possible to arise.
In their hands the whole power is
vested. 1t is a part of the machine
county system, through which all
the canyassing boards of all the
ninety-six counties are unanimously
Democratic. Under this system, they
count in their men by throwing
out votes; as explained in our
article a few weeks ago, wherein
We referred to the election by the
Legislature of 1900 magistrates.
Who does not know that by the
Infamous action Of the county can
wasting boards, as here described.
Democrats have been permitted to
take seats in the General Assembly
which belonged to the Peoples Party
and to Republicans: In Wayne
county, two men were elected to the
Legislature upon the Peoples Party
ticket, without doubt, last Novcm-
Der. They were counted out by the
county canyassing board, and their
seats given to Democrats. They
Knew the futility of making con
test, and did not attempt it, but sub
mitted in silence to the great wrong,
hoping that some day the people
would arouse themselves and hull
from power their OppressOrs. The
wisdom of their course was apparent.
Other men, elected from other coun-
ties, tried to assert their right before
the Legislature. OF course they
were defeated, ard their work of
contest went for nought, and they
were ANONYMOUSLY deprived of the
seats to which they had been elected |
by their constituents.
We ask our readers, and any Dem
ocrats who may be inclined to do
right, to gravely consider these things
We will turn on the light. That will
be our part. If the people do not
heed and take warning, they will de-
serve to lose their liberties; and they
WILL lose them.
