BEHIND THE SCENES,
WHAT THE SOLONS AT RALEIGH ARE
SAYING AND DONG THAT DOES NOT
GET INTO PUBLIC PRINT.
They Are Awfully Scared--They are Afraid
to Do and Afraid Not to Do.
Especial to The Caucasian. I

RALEIGH, n. c.: see and hea,
something's around here that makes
he laugh. 1t is amusing to see how
some of the representatives of the
people will dodge when they think
the future interest of the party is at
stake. A few days ago, when a GER
tain committee had under consldpra-
ton certain bill, one of its mem
berS sprang to his feet and said. .Mr,
Chairman, | tell you if we pass that
bill the next Legislature will be P. P.
for | can count at least fifty mem
bers of this House that, after hard
work, just did get here, and if We
don't make the people BELIEVE that
we are their friends We are gone
suckers. These z. z. men are here
watching us, and will take advan-
tage of every mistake we make"
1t is not unusual to hear some one
making fun of the Farmers Legis.
lature of 81. Some of them saw
that act that forbids the use of free
passes was an insult to every honest
man in the State. That that Legis-
lature was clothed with demacoqery.
That its members were ignorant,
Another referred to it as that "d-m
gang"
Mr.. Editor, with all the LAWYERS
in this Legislature a few DAYS aro
they passed a bill appropriating five
hundred dollars yearly to the Gull
ford Battle Grounds, Z. 2. men vot-
ing against il. On the next Satnr-
day bill was introduced providing
that there should be no more mona3
paid to said company until 1895.
What caused them to change so
quick? Well viii tell you. TWAS
found that in less than five minutes
after the bill was signed there was a
messenger went to the Treasurer's
office and drew eight hundred dollars
five hundred tor this year and three
hundred for last year. One MEM
ha- SAID, we were fooled into voting
for the bill and now let us show our
contempt for the infamous bill by
saying that they cannot get any
more until the next Legislature meets
and makes an appropriation. Did
anybody pull the wool over the ewes
of the Farmers Legislature that
way?
When the bill to abolish the Bu-
reau OF Farm Statistics was up one
fellow said: 81 am farmer. | have
been farming all my life and know
how to use all kinds of farming tools
from threshing machine down to
a gimlet, therefore | am in favor of
the present law" Now doesn't he
know how to farm? | imagine he
thought gimlet was used for dig
ging turnips. He talks lots about
how he loves the farmers, and | am
Informed by those who know him
hat he never farmed a dav in his
life, that he don't know whether

us to miss an issue last week. Of
course we greatly regretted missing
these issues, but the flood of inqui-

much they missed the paper has been
very gratifying to us as an evidence
of how highly the paper is apprecia-

failure of the Issue of the I'd have

every subscriber wrote asking what

Our Raleigh Letter was very short
last week, but our correspondent
makes it all up this week by sending
us the best letter he has written.
His description of the exposure of
the "disintrested visiting statesman
is tragic and pathetic. BE sure to
read it. We suppose he refers to
ex-GOy. Thomas J. Jarvis. We no.
tced in the Raleigh papers that he
was there while the W. & W. prOpo-
sition was MP, and the papers refer
ed to him as the visiting statesman. ="
If he is the man and he had gone
there as an attorney of the Whining
ton 4 Weldon company and made
secret of it and done what he could
in q legitimate way to shown nv the
Legislature should accept the propo-
sition, there would have been moth
ing in his conduct to censure, but if
he tried to have undue influence by
claiming to be disinterested party.
and was at the same time paid at
torney, then his conduct is not only
contemplate, but deserves the sever
est censure. It's hard to believe that
one who has been honored and trust
ed by the people, twice held the high
est office in the gift of the State.
would deliberately and covertlv try
to betray the interest Of his State. We
have believed for some time that the
Wilmington & Weldon Railroad eth
er had him in their pay, or else
thought they could control him in
an emergency. Last spring the Viii
mlngton Messenger (Which, 1t is
charged, is owned by the railroad
company, and at any rate is good
organ and mouth-piece for that mo-
nopoly,) began to urge Thomas j.
Jarvis fer chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee.
Buta last the railroad company, or
whoever was working the inner cir
Gle, decided that it would be best to
have good safe man to take Carr
under training and pilot him about
over the State. Jarvis was selected
for this work. Who paid his expen-
ses has never been made public, but
if he succeeded in getting the Gov
ernor under good training, so their
interests will be safe in his hands
after he is advised, then the railroad
certainly ought to have
paid Jarvis expenses. By the way
we see it reported that Gov. Carr is |
in favor of the Wilmington & We'll
don Railroads proposition. Now put
two and two together.
Enough for the present. By de-
grees, from week to week, THE eau
'AsrAN will turn on more light.

It seems to be pretty gcneI ~,
conceded that Cleveland has asked
Judge Gresham 10 accept the posi-
ton Of Secretary of State in his cab

newspapers Of the partisan small fry

to 90 on record here as saying that
| from the whole Democratic party Mr..
| Cleveland could not have made a
better appointment. He has selected
a man whose name is above rcproach,
who has been more or less in SYM
pathv with the masses. lie has Sc
lccted Il man who is known to be an.
anti-corporation lawyer, Il man who
endorses the peoples platform of
principles adopted at Omaha, and
who came near accepting the uomi-
nation for the, Presidency on the
same platform. tits capital selec-
ton. On its face the action of Mr..
Cleveland seems to be non partisan
and patriotic. But let us 60 behind
the scenes and see how it looks from
that side. All, here it is. The
money power knew that they got
Cleveland elected by fooling the peo-
pie, by making promises of reform
that they knew they would not carry
out. They must manage in some
way to fool the people again, to
throw them off their guard. They
must have something to 60 before
the people on in the next campaign.
We can't hold up the record of con-
gress, for they say,we can not let that |
body do what the politicians prom
ised the people on the stump-so
they issued their orders to Mr.. Cleve-
land, that he must appoint in his
cabinet man in whom the people
have confidence, and besides man
who is pure and honest and who
might if not appointed be the peo-
pies nominee for President next
time. That man is GreSham-It
will not do to make him Secretary
OF the Treasury or put him in any
other place that would effect the
monetary system or the internal
working of the government. For his
cranky ideas about money and tax
alton, &c, would there be troublesome.
lie Is too near to the people-Put
