A STATEMENT

The Caucasion goes to you this
week bearing two dates, the first
page Is dated Feb. End, the inside
Feb. 9th. We had hoped to get out
the paper on our new press last week,
but found it impossible to do so. We
did not get the press up and ready
for work till Friday the 3rd, and be-
sides some type, paper and ink that
had been ordered two weeks did not
arrive till Saturday. So we decided
to do the only thing possible-to LET
one issue do for two weeks. But we
have at last gotten everything in Or
der nd hereafter unless some un-
foreseen accident happens, the paper
will go out regularly every Thurs
day morning. We shall spare no eff
fort to give you the best paper il
North Carolina. Now give u:
10000 subscribers and the paper
will be power for good in the cause

JUSTICE FOR THE GIRLS AND WOMEN.

This legislature should double the
appropriation to the Girls Normal
and Industrial training school at
Greensboro. 1t Is a shame that the
State has been so long in doing any
thing for the girls. For over hun
dred years the girls of the State have
been left to get an education as they
could. Thousands have grown up
lived and died, leaving their daugh-
tiers TO the same fate. Our legisla-
tors have shown q eat unwisdom and
false economy in this respect. Every
dollar spent in educating the girls
who are to be the mothers of the
next generation is worth more TO the
State than two dollars spent on the
boys. Both sexes should be edu-
Gated of course, but if either is to be
neglected let it be the boys. IF the
mothers Of the coming generation are
educated, the fathers may. be ignor-
ant, but both the boys and girls
of the next generation will be edu-
Gated. When the Legislature of 1891
passed the law establishing the
school for girls, the politicians and
the bosses tried to ridicule the pro.
ject and said that the girls would
not go to such school, but no sooner
were the doors open than there were
applications for hundred more
than could be Accommodated. AND
nine out of every ten who are there
now would have grown up without
an education if this school had no
been established. We repeat, let thi!
legislature make the appropriation
large enough to arrange acconoda
tons for every girl WHO wants t.
enter. But you say you can't do l
without ncIeasing taxation. Ye
you can. Give to the schools thu
SIG, 200 that is now annually spen
on the state guard, take that eXtr;
81 900 from the state department ane
the 81 900 extra from the auditor
office. This would make $36, 00'
more to the school till the next legis
lature meets. Or better still, let thi
Legislature collect the back take
from the w. & w. Railroad and APP
ply it all to the education of the girl
of the State. 1t would be an amour
large enough not only to enlarge thu
school at Greensboro, but to estab
lish two more such schools, one a
Goldsboro and one at Asheville o
Charlotte. There are enough girl
in the State hungering for sucl
training to fill three such institutions

American HimetaIiIe League.

The Rocky Mountain News, re-
ferripg to the approaching meeting
of the Silver League, says:
The call issued by President War
ner for meeting of the American
timetable league at Washington on
February 20 will receive the attention
Of silver men all over the country.
The date fixed is timely one. for
congress will doubtless be in the
midst of great debate on the silver
question, and the presence of free
coinage advocates from all sections
of the United States will strengthen
the hands of the friends of the white
metal in both the house and
senate.
No effort should be spared to rem
der the meeting a representative
one. Silver sentiment is growing
all over the country and
will gain recruits rapidly, the better
ITS purposes are understood and
appreciated. This sentiment should
be concentrated in the Bimetallic
league, which will thereby be ena-
bled to bring a larger influence to
DtdI vi W cit1Sh 49,
in a measure neutraliZe the efforts OF
the monometallists to create q false
| impression as to the intentions of the
silver forces
1t is not generally understood in
| the East, owing to the suppression
of the silver disct ssion in the Eas-
tern press, that the bimetallists pur-
pose simply a return by the govern
ment to the policy abandoned in
1873. This is just what free coinage
means, and all that it means. They
demand that gold and silver be 10.
ceived at the minis for coinage just
as they were prior to the passage by
conspiracy Of the demonstration act
of 1873.
j This fact can be very clearly
brought out at the meeting Of tbs
Ieage, and fresh popular Impetus
will be given to the cause. In mean
time let Colorado and all other trans
, missouri states and territories be
. fully represented, and the meeting be
made representative of the feeling
that exists in the country in favor OF
a return to the constitutional coinage
Of the nation.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 31.-Last
week | told you about the unseating
of Senator Henderson (col.) of Vance
and Warren. Well the two contest
ed cases in the House have been dis
posed Of the same way. Wright,
(col) of Warren, was unseated to
make a place for Long, (dem.) and
Stack, (dem.) of Stokes, was kept in.
All three of these results were
brought about by throwing out votes
that the other fellow got. The Dem
ocrats don't even claim that their
men got the most votes, but claim
that they have got the power to
throw out enough Of the opposition
votes to leave them ahead. The
only question is how many votes
must be thrown out. The most of
this throwing out business was done
by the returning boards in their re-
spective counties and many Of the
members here hold their seats secur-
ed by such frauds To be consistent
these men had to vote to take in out
of the wetn Leach, Long and Stack.
whose returning boards didn't fix
things up for them. The innate hon
esty of the masses of the people, If
respective of party, will revolt
against such injustice. The man
who is Democrat, knows that this
is not democracy.
The Legislature has passed res
olution requesting Congress to re
peal the present silver law, but thu
resolution does not ask them to Civ
us free coinage. Poor fellows, ma.
the Lord have mercy on them TO
they know not what they do-if the!
think they are asking for brea'
for the people. They ask for gol'
standard. do they want it, Ii the.
do the people don't.
