Messrs. w. d. Spell and Black

negro while returning from Fayette-
vile on the 26. Two pistol shots
were fired, the second finding lodg-
ing place in the shoulder of the
mule which they were driving. In
his fright. the mule precipitated the
riders into a ditch. The negro de-
manded money or life, but just al
that critical moment, assistance
came and relieved the awkward sit

Thus far IN the year there have
been twenty-eight serious railway
disasters, whereby 225 persons lost
their lives, while over 600 were more
or less injured, and although this
extraordinary record is said to he due
to the largely increased travel cons..
quent upon the Worlds Fair, AT

NEWS AND COMMENT.

Hon. Carter Harrison, Mayor Of
Chicago, was murdered on last Sat
urday evening. About S:25 o'clock
an unknown man rang the bell and
was admitted to the house by the
servant. Mayor Harrison was lying
on lounge in the front room, hav-
ing returned but a short time before
from the Worlds Fair, where he had
participated in the municipal exer-
cises of the day. When the stranger
was admitted he pushed at once to
the front room, fired four shots from
revolver at the Mayor and then
fled. Three of the bullets took effect
in Mr.. Harrison's body and he died
in about 10 minutes. The name of
the assassin is f. =. Prendergast
He is in Jail. He says the Mayor
promised him an Office, but fooled
him. Mr.. Harrison was soon to be
married to Miss Annie Howard. The
engagement was to be announced
about month ago.

STEALING HAS STOPPED,


going on through the mails We asked
our friends not to send money,
stamps or postal note in ordinary let
tels. This has put our friends to
some trouble, but we thought it best
to follow that course. We got the
government to put a detective out.
The stealing has stopped. 1t has
now been several months since let
ter has been lost. So we think it is
now safe to send money or posta!
notes in small amounts in open let
ter. When the amount is large buy
money order or register your letter.
If the amount is over two dollars
you can send it at our expense. Don't
send stamps except for small amounts
and then send ones and twoes only.
TWO KINDS OF MONOPOLY SERVERS
We have nothing but contempt for
editors of the stripe of Sam Ashe and
DIR. Kingsbury. They claim to be
bimetallists, they claim to be opposed
to the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law on principle, but when
another cowardly makeshift was Of
fered that was further from free sill
yer than the Sherman law they at
once said that it was good thing
and that ''we must all agree in the
interests of party harmouy.' ''Party
harmony" is the dodge that is always
used by the politicians when they are
sacrificing the interests of the peo-
pie and wish to conceal the fact.
The men who suck the public tit are
too often ready to agree to anything
that will help them to hold on to the
tit.
We have great deal more respect
for u man like Joe Calwell, the edi-
tor of the Charlotte Observer. He
is gold bug and champion of mo-
nopolies and he does not try to con-
ceal the fact. He was for uncondi-
tional repeal, and even cloture gag
rule to get it and did not hesitate to
say so. He is even for the Issue of
bonds, if President Cleveland and
the gold bugs want them. He is a
partisan tool for the administration
and the machine and boldly says SO.
We know he is wrong and he knows
he is wrong, but we admire his bold
and straitforward way of serving his
masters.
The Charlotte Observer says that
the people are anxiously waiting fol-
congress to repeal the Sherman sill
yer law. Mr.. Caldwell, the editor OF
the Observer, believes nothing of the
: kind. He knows that seven-tenths
of the people of the State are opposed
to the unconditional repeal of thai
measure. The boards of trade who
are simply the echoes Of the bankers
and the politicians who are the tool'
of the monopolies and their few par
tisan followers left are all who arr
for the gold-bug policy of the Presi
: dent. If the Observer does not know
this now, will not stay In Ignorance
any longer than the next election il

Capt. w. s. Barnes. Secretary OF

Mr. Crawford made his chage. Mr..

the one which Mr. Crawford had

that the original be produced, and
declared that the card shown was a

INJURED The demurrer will be ar
gued before Judge Shuford at cham
bers here day after tomorrow. Bro.
Barnes will win his suit. for he has
the facts and the law.
The Solid South published at
Fayetteville, and The Populist pub
llshed at LumbertOn are two of the
latest editions to the list of reform
papers in the State. They are local
papers, and will look after the inter
est of the Populist cause in their re-
spective counties. THE CAUCASIAN
is glad to see them enter the arena
for the rights of the people, and
hopes before long to see just such
paper started ir every county in
North Carolina. In every fight for
the people, local talent on the stump
and local papers have to bear the
brunt of the fight and do the most
effective work. A State paper like
THE CAUCASIAN can stand on the
watch tower and give the general
alarm, but every fight is won and
every business succeeds by attention
to details. This can only be done
by thorough organizing at home,
backed up by good local paper.
We are pleased with the work that
the friends of Reform are now doing
for The CAUCASIAN. They are
urging everybody to subscribe, get
ting up clubs and raising money and
sending the paper to those who can
not or will not subscribe. They real
ize that there is no cheaper and more
effective way to get the truth before
the people and to carry conviction to
the soul of every voter who wants to
know the truth and who will act on
it, those to put THE CAUCASIAN
into their hands. Keep the ball
rolling. The people will have JUS
tice when they know the truth.

BLAINE Is DEAD.

The pride and the glory OF our com.
mon country, after a weary. hopeless
struggle agaiLss disease in one Of its
O relentless forms. mas obeyed the
summons and suffers now no more.
Battling as d hero fights, against mani
fold misfortunes piled high as Ossa
upon Peliou. he had in the last few wears
OF his life. if never before. we'll earned
the title given him so long ago-had
borne himself like the plumed knight be
was. James G. Blaine was admired
and loved by the people of all parties
and creeds. 10 an extent unequalled by
any public man since the time of
Lincoln. Like the martyr president, he
possessed that splendid personality
which drew men to himself, making
of his political supporters f%ervent, en-
thusiastic. lifelong friends. The illus.
trious career that is ended was one of
long sustained brlliiancy. even though
shaded by a series OF caiamities such as
try the souls Of few. Throughout all
the years OF his uninterrupted public
activity he was revered as few may hope
to be, and assa;.ed, On the other hand,
with a bitterness which none but the
~staunchest could survive. Fervent per-
sonal adm ration has contributed much
to enhance his reputation in later years,
and kindly sympathy has, perhaps.
done more; but it is not because of
worldwide sympathy. even. that be
should or will be judged. Though the
great heart OF common humanity has
beat in sympathetic anxiety during the
loDg-drawn suferings of a well-loyed
actor on the stage of public life, in the
days that are to come, the laurels that
will crown the fame of Blaine will not
be woven all OF sympathy or personal es-
TEEN: his name will shine upon the roster
OF American statesmen not alone by the
light OF mere popularity. Posterity will
call him great because 1t will recognize
i'll HIM the possession of that supremest
OF gifts which comprises within itself the
genius alike Of the statesman and of the
general. the gift of leadership; because
the history that shall be written of these
times will say of him, There was a man,
NJ, countrymen-a leader of men," Few
men, when they at last are called awav
to other scenes, leave in the world a
sense of q peculiar loss, an universal
recognition of a lack which can hardly
be supplied from among those who are
left. In the case of him whom we
mourn to-day, there is the general
thought, more touching eulogy than the
most eloquent that could be written:
"There is none to take his place.

AS JOHN D. BENTON himself SAYS. the
action of the legislature on the 25th
inst. is without a precedent in the history
CT senatorial elections. 4 parallel is not
recalled where a political party has had
a clear majority and enough of them
have gone over to the opposition to
nearly elect. Instances are numerous
where members OF the majority party
have refralned from voting. or by stand.
ing out for a candidate Of their own
have caused q deadlock. ultimately
resulting in the election, by a comblna-
ton, OF the minority party candidate:
but seldom, indeed, do members of one
political party go over deliberately into
the enemy's camp. and boldly defeat the
will Of the majority party to which they
profess allegiance, Mr.. Benton feels
particularly pleased that he should have
been the cause OF breaking the record in
this respect.
