The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1894-08-09

The recent pow-wow in the SEN
ate shed several rays of light upon
the tariff wrangle.
Senator Vest gave light when he
said that Secretary Carlisle had Gre
peatedly and distinctly stated that
the greatest possible calamity that
could happen would be the failure
of any bill, and that no difference in
rates should be allowed to stand in
the way of the consummation of
some change of tariff reform"
Here is ample proof that the Dem
ocratic party managers are using the
tariff issue as a party shibboleth
without one iota of genuine belief
Or intention in forming Or passing a
bill as measure of public benefit or
relief. Some change said Mr.
Carlisle there must be, and no diff
ference in rate must stand in the way.
That is to say they denounced the
Mckinley law as infamous, and
charged upon it the destruction of
the prosperity of the country, hence
it will not do for congress to adj
journ without enacting some sort
of legislation to distinguish Cleve-
land Democrat from a Mckinley
Republican.
Poor, torn and shattered Democ-
racy! Grover Cleveland and his al
lies have wrecked you On stormy wa
tiers. 1t was written in the book of
fate.

Congressman John Henderson has
been renOminated for congress in the
9TH district He is chairman of the
committee on Postot1ice and Post
Roads. This is the committee that
has recommended and put through
congress the extra pay of millions Of
dollars for the Richmond & Danville
and other railroad lines and steam
ship lines for carrying the mails. He
can get Just as much campaign boo
die from these corporations as he
needs to elect him. The Richmond
q Danville railroad alone can give
him 100000 out of the 1896, 600 that
he has helped them to get from the
peoples pockets. If the 9TH district
can be bought then John Henderson
will be sent back to congress. If the
people of that district want to help
to stop this corruption, if they want
to show congressman that they can
not betray the people and then buy
their way back to Office and power,
if that district wants to show the
corporations of the country that they
are not for sale. then let them rise
up in their manhood and defeat join
Henderson. Let them brand as an
Infamous traitor and hireling any
man who goes about distributing
corporation money for Henderson
The 9TH district must beat Hender
son. 1t must be done in the inte1e s
of good government, it must be done
to make an example of men like Hend
erson, it must be done to preserve
the self-respect and integrity of the
voters of that district.

THE FAST MAIL" BONUS,

following inquiry:
EDITOR CAUCASIAN:-I see a great
deal in the papers about bonus or
a subsiding of $780, 900 to the Rich
mond d Danville Railroad for ear
rying the mails. | see that Ransom
voted for it and that Jarvis voted
against it. Will you explain what
the 1896, 900 is for9
Yours truly,
r. J. Davis.
The Government makes a con
tract with the railroads to carry the
mails for a certain amount of money
just as 1t does with some citizens to
take mail bag over country route.
OF course every railroad has con-
tract to carry the mail over its line.
but there is great competition be-
tween the great trunk lines north
and south, and east and west for the
through mail. There has been quite
rivalry between the Atlantic Coast
line and the Richmond & Danyille
for the contract to carry the through
mail north and south along the At
lantlc Coast. Each road was anx.
louS to get the contract for it is a
great advertisement. Passengers are
more apt to go over the line that the
government says is the fastest and
best. But as soon as one of these
railroads gets contract to carry the
mail for so much money, Immediately
1T goes to work through it's lobbyists
to influence congress to pay it more
money than the contract calls for.
They say they cannot do the work
for the contract price. If a man
who is carrying the mail across the
country on mule back were to saw
this, then the government would at
once give the contract to some one
else who would do the same work fol
the same money. But not so when a
rich corporation asks for more paw.
In this case congress at once voted
$196.514.22 extra. The railroads al
not so much to blame for this as
congress. Congress is supposed to
guard the peoples interests, while
everybody expects the railroads to
make all they can out of the people.
But congress that will vote itself
extra pay Gin the shape of 800 a
month for clerk hire and will vote
itself double milage fare at 20 cents
mile while they ride On free passes
from the railroads, can not be ex-
pected to guard the peoples taxes.

"IHE MAN WHO SLEPI.n

On the first page will be found ID
very interesting and instructive
story. 1t is very strange, but we
are assured by the author that it is
true and occurred in the county of
Onslow. The hero is Ephraim AM
brose. His prototype may exist in
other counties in North Carolina,
but it is to be hoped that the tribe
is growing less, or that they will all
at least go to sleep before they vote.
AS the reports from Washington
say, it is war to the knife between
the House and the Senate on the
tariff bill. The Senate is in the
grip of Havemeyer and will not
yield, while the House is in the
clutch of Cleveland and his friends
who advocate indecent favors to the
Nova Scotia coal syndicate. Wal to
the knife between the Senate and
House simply means a draw game
between HavemeYer sugar and Cleve-
land coal. Whether Cleveland and
the coal syndicate or Havemeyer and
the sugar trust Will win is of no mo.
mentous consequence to the people
With either of these deals, ovel
which congress has had so mucf
wrangle, the |'poor man" is left out
in the cold.

WASHINGTON, June 2Sth.-The
amended sugar schedule, which will
probably be offered when the tariff
bill is taken up in the Senate, was
put into shape by Senator Jones to-
day. 1t was accepted by all to whom
it was shown except Senator Blanch-
ard.
The amendment, as prepared,
changes the date when the sugar sche-
dule shall go into effect from the first
of January to the time of the passing
of the bill, and provides for continu-
alton of part of the bounty for the
present year, giving nine tenths of a
cent bounty per pound on sugar test
ing above 80 degrees by the polari-
scope, and eight-tenths on sugar test
ing below 80 degrees and above so de-

Planned In Chicago.

CHICAGO, June e28.-According to an
afternoon paper, the assassi nation OF
President Carnot of France seems to
have been the first of long list OF
murders that were planned in Chica-
go last fall.
That Csesario Giovanni Santo, the
assassin, was in Cpicago as delegate
from Italy to a conference of anar-
chist leaders of the world is positively
known, and that Immediately upon
his return to Europe he began plot
ting the death of Carnot has been
clearly established by the Parisian
police.
Last Octou~z4- meeting of anarchists
was held in the otnC~S of Honore
Jaxon, a renegade half breed, who
posed as one of the arch conspiratOrs
in the fake plot to blow up the Gov
ernment buildings at Washington
recently.
Jaxon is well known in Chicago as
an agitatOr and alleged reformer. He
came to Chicago at the fall of the Reil
uprising in Canada, because the Cana
dian Government had de ided to put
rope around his neck for his part in
the uprising. Since his residence in
Chicago, Jaxon has appeared In every
public movement in various lights,
always seeking notoriety, but accom-
phi hing nothing.
1t appears that the anarchists of
Europe found that it would be impos-
sible to hold a successful conference,
and decided to meet in America.
JaXon extended an invitation on be-
half of the Chicago anarchists and
offered his offices in the Times build
ing for the meetings.
Toward the end of October thirty
h of
country in Europe, assembled in this
city. So secretly had these men left
their own countries that they We're
not missed for weeks. The meetings
were kept so secret that none but the
favored disciples of dynamite knew
what was going on.
Among the delegates was Santo.
He soon became prominent in The
conference, and his words were re-
garded as the words of a leader. The
names OF the other European and fifty
American delegates cannot be learned
except that of Herr Most.
When at last the conference closed
the deleg tes went quietly and by
different routes to their native coun
tries, and the meeting would still
have been a secret had not Jaxon's
love of nOteriety led him to talk TO q
newspaper man.
Eyes, its all very plain to me-" said
a gentleman well up in the affairs of
the Reds. "The whole plot was
batched in the Times building. From
Information picked up by me | am
convinced that at least twenty assassi-
nations were planned. SantO, being
the youngest and most hot headed OF
the delegates was selected TO strike
the first blow, and has done his part
well.

Railways Tied Up.

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. - At the
meeting of the American Railway
Union, held in West Oakland last
night, it was decided to ortier gem
erai strike on all divisions of the
Southern Pacific, the strike to go into
effect at 1870 O'Clock this morning.
The following resolution was adopted:
WEST OAKLAND, June 28.-At
meeting of this union, held on the
above date, il was resolved TO notify
the Southern Pacific officers that this
union Will at any time during this
strike furnish men to move trains car
rying United States mails only, and
that copy of this Tesn ution be fur
nished the press of Oakland and San
francisco for the benefit of the pub
lic.n
The strike is said to be due to sew
eral men having been discharged by
the Southern Pacific for having re-
fused TO handle trains in which there
were Pullman coaches.
The lar reaching consequences OF
such strike can be understood when
Ii is stated that its effect will be to
block all traffic as far east as Ogden,
as far north as Portland, and as far
south as Eel Paso.
Superintendent Fillmore was seen
at the Occidental Hotel at 1880 this
moThing oy Il CnrOnicIe reporter ana
informed of the strike. He said that
he had expected such a move. but was
confident that traffic would not be
blocked to any great extent. He said
the company was determined to move
its trains and would make every en-
deavor to do so today.
Mr.. Fillmore was asked IL the COM
pany had discharged any men for re-
fusai to handle Pullman coaches. He
said: mo, but some of the men dis
charged themselves and we put other
men in their places. We have dis
charged no men,"
ho- further stated that the most
serious la 49, nience TO result from
this strike would 20. ~ handling
freight trains. He claimed that plenty
of men were readily available. He
did not think the locomotive engineers
would join the strike.
