\ BLOODLEsS REVOLUTION.
Paris, A Dril 20, 1903.

Let me say, at the very start,
that it is imperative not to forget
the date which heads this article.
This date has significance Ofthe
highest importance, for it marks
the opening ola new era. The
political situation of Europe is to-
day widely different from what it
was yesterday. Yesterday the
entire world turned an eye fever
ishly intent towards Belgium,
upon the spectacle there of the
decisive struggle between an
establisbde government and
an unestabliSbed prOletariat.
There was to be seen in Belgium
the constitutional authority of an
entire realm, backed by the force
of arms, opp' sed by a militant
democracy. On the one side, law,
authority. armed force; on the
other, lack of authority, of CAPT
tai, and of arms; in word, vague
nothingness struggling against
OmnipOteDce. Yet it is the former
that has won the day. Omnip0t-
ence has belied its name, and has
been driven to the wall; the defeat
has been crushing. But more than
this, it has been significant. | re-
peat, it marks the opening of a.
new era.
For the worldwide association
of laborers now cOmprehends that
it holds the Old World in it's
hands. 1t has discovered the in
vincible power OF the strick, in,
obedience to the patchwork en-
anating from it's irresponsible
leaders. Here is a force which is
negative, perhaps, but one
against which nothing henceforth
can prevail. Lo, a silent word
of command, and the tours of
Jericho fall! Before a gener al
strike of this sort the Old World
is to-day pOwerless, like the child
at the beast to whom the mother
refuses to give suck.-FrOm
Europe at the Present Moment

Magazine for June.

Ingalls, on Horton.


. On Tuesday, March 2, 1880, Senator
John j. Ingalls, made speech in Atchi-
son at a reception held in his honor.
After alluding to certain parties who had
been party to the investigation Of the
title to his seat in the senate, he said:
"They selected as their facile instru-
ment the chief justice Of the state, a man
who began his career by writing editor
iRls in favor Of secession and drinking
toasts to the health OF Jefferson Davis.
Persuaded to become republican by the
promise Of preferment, he has been con-
tinuouslY in Office, with an accidental
hiatus Of one year. During this long
period he has hsbituslly traficked lin
justice, defrauding his clients, basely
plundered his partner and insulted
society by his degraded and fragrant inn
morality. He has never made promise
he did not break, nor had q friend whom
he was not willing to betrsy. In this
political Judge these frenNed conspira-
tors found willing accomplice, feebly
protesting that he was not candidate,
though every one knew that for five
years he had trodden every devious path
that led toward the capitol; that he took
his seat on the bench merely as q step
ping stone to the senate; he has de-
scended into the mire Of personal
politics, accepted the nomination in
calumnious speech and then attempted
to secure success by the open purchase
Of votes. Much has been said about the
purity Of the ermine. The traditional
fur was never dragged through fouler
puddle. The very seat on the bench
that was to be vacated was promised to
two anxious aspirants, and the entire
wardrobe Of the state was divided in an
ticipation Of my defeat like the apparel
Of Joseph among his brethren.
"No fouler exhibition Of cowardice and
mendacity ever disgraced the most de-
graded epoch Of the English judiciary
which witnessed the fall of Bacon and
the infsmies Of Jsffreys and Scuggs. In
stead of sitting in judgment on the lives,
the liberties and the estates of the peo-
pie, this culprit should be summoned to
answer for his crimes and be consigned
to felon's CELL"

Three Cheers for Butler,

Marion Butler, vice president Of the
N. F. A. & I. u, and president Of the
North Carolina Alliance, has started a
state Peoples party paper at Goldsboro.
The first issue, on February 2, was an
edition OF 10000, and went to every
county and postof1ce IN the state. He
was burned out during the last campaign
and lost everything, but he is too pluoky
to be downed. No other man, with the
exception Of our lamented Polk, has done
50 much for the reform in North Caro-
lima, or holds 30 dear place in the hearts
Of the people. In the late campaign he
made gallant and heroic fight against
tremendous odds. He was practically
the only speaker in the field for the Peo-
ple's party. The democrats had forty of
their ablest men from United States
senators and ex-governors down, and
Brother Butler, though less than thirty
years old, showed his ability and courage
to hold his own against them all.
With such a paper as the Caucasian,
and such a man as Brother Butler at the
helm, the cause Of reform is bound to
grow in North Carolina. Those who
wish to keep up with the reform fight in
that section should take the Caucasian.
