ZEB VANCE IS DEAD,

edward Oldham. in Washington Post)
How strange the sound Undying is his
name,
Immortal is his memory; they came
A product of his own, mis- native soil.
Revered and loved by every son of toll.
Zeb Vance! The very name is honor own;
Its loyalty into all hearts has grown;
No other titled name, in honor's ken
Could e'er supplant this simple cognomen.
His name was Synonym for hope and song,
For cheer and laughter, and truth so strong
The pet, the idol, of the Old North State
A heartful man, whom none could ever hate
A sterling, gen rous-hearted friend,
Sincere and honest, faithful to the end.
But now, it's true, that DER his restful bed
His native pines will whisper: "He is dead. u
Meath Heavens gr,at rotunda laid in state
Will lie this honest man-so true, so great,
And DER him natures obsequies will roll,
And chant reqniem for his noble soul.
In many little school house, by the way,
When lessons shall have ended for the day
The pedagogue, with awe, will bow his head
And tell the children that "Zeb Vance il
dead"
And home, with voices hushed and awed
they'll go,
And tell, with wondering, the news the.
know;
The very cow-bells catch the strain so dread
And slowly dole the news: "Zeb Vance
dead"
And when his life's good angel shall hav
brought
Him safely to the paradise he sought,
And led him 20 the threshold of the gate,
| Not long the servant of bis State will wait.
Nor Governor, nor Senator will be
The signal or the rank of bis degree;
But loud hosannas, ''Welcome, welcom
home,'
And loud the welkin ring, 'Zeb Vance

THE ALLIANCE AS AN EDUCATOR.

We take pleasure in reproducing
and endorsing the following from
the editorial columns of Living Is
sues, the Organ of the State Alli-
ance of Georgia
No other organization has done so
much to educate the people as the
alliance. But for the work of this
great organization the great mass of
people would know very little of the
cause of the present condition of our
country.
This order has gone into the politi-
cal questions and it has exposed the
treachery and rottenness of our pub
lie men to such an extent that the
people are beginning to awaken to
their awful condition. They are be-
ginning to realize that they are IN
the hands of a heartless cruel money
power that can bankrupt the govern
ment itself in forty-eight hours.
All this unearthing has been accom-.
plished through the alliance and its
advocates.
Now, the question is shall this
school house be kept up and the edu-
cation of the people continued
There are thousands of things yet tc
unearth. The alliance can unearth
them in an organized capacity. I'm
organized the work ceases.
The alliance is the author of the
great reform movement which i:
spreading like wildfire all over the
country, but if we wish to see the re
form movement succeed we mus
keep up the academy in which tht
lessons are delivered and conclusions
reached. If you let the fountain
cease to do its work the rivers will
soon run dry. It matters not wha
your political faith may be you arr
interested in the fight for more jus
and equitable distri button of tn
wealth which you produce and fo
this reason should belong to the orde
and sustain it.
In your political enthusiasm dom
forget the great order that first le
you to see the light.
Build up your sub-alliances. Ge
all the farmers in your county t
come into it. Make it social orde
as we'll as school of political science
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1894-05-03

Last week THE CAUCASIAN pub.
lished the announcement of Judge
Hines, of Georgia, that he would nc
longer affiliate with the Democratic
party-a party that betrayed the peo,
pie, deserted the principles of democ-
racy and gone over to the monopolies
to rob the people. Our readers will
be interested in what Tom Watson
says of Judge Hines in his paper.
We give it below in full:
Our friends will be encouraged to
know that Judge Hines will take the
stump in our behalf during the ap-
preaching campaign. He is close
thinker, trained debater and strong
reasoner, and will carry to every
word he says the force of an un-
Olemished character.
When the farmers announced their
Ocala Platform, Judge Hines was
one of the few professional men who
gave it his hearty endorsement.
In a correspondence with Hon. o.
H. p. Bell, Of Washington county,
he sustained our principles with
force and without equivocation, at
time when be must have known that
he was jeopardizing the brilliant fu-
ture which opened before him IN the
Democratic party.
At that time Judge Hines lived on
his farm near Sandersville, in Wash
ington county.
He had made splendid record as
a lawyer, as Solicitor-General, and,
later, as Judge of the Superior courts
of the Middle circuit he established
wide reputation for the diligence.
the ability, and the integrity with
which he discharged the duties of
that position.
In 1890 Judge Hines was a candi-
date for the United States Senate,
on the Alliance platform, against
Gen. John B. Gordon, but failed of
election because of the want of con-
centration among the Reformers.
For the last two years Judge Hines
has been living in Atlanta, and has
built up large practice. He is in
the prime of life; is level-headed,
conservative, strong and fearless, and
has a range of personal friendships
second to that of no man in the State.
Possessing as he does the conf
dence and esteem of so many profes-
sional and business men in the towns
and cities. and having at the same
time the confidence and esteem of
the country people, among whom the
greater part of his life has been
spent, his speeches in this campaign
for better laws and better govern.
ment will carry immense weight and
do immense good.

81 AM A DMQCRAT."

The signs of physical life consist
in the functional performance of
part, or all, of the five senses, while
death consists in the absence of ac-
tivity in these evidences of life. A
mans sight goes out, taste and smell
depart, hearing is hushed in silence,
and at last all sense of touch forsakes
him, and he is a corpse.
This is today the condition Of the
once honorable and honored Demo
cratic party: Its eyes are blinded by
| PARTISAN pre- Judices, its organs of taste
and smell are destroyed by constant
contact with frauds and corruption,
itsI hearing is stopped by the con-
cussion of broken promises, while its
feeling is squeezed out Of it by un just
and oppressive laws. This once
great and powerful party is dead.
It came to a violent death at it's own
hand, The long silence has been pain
full, but now the mourners go about
the streets chanting its ancient vir-
tues. while the names of Jefferson
and Jackson are heard in the funeral
dirge. The political sorasrers are
at work on its ifeleas form with vain
efforts to resascitate it, while the
raoarners are commanded to shout
f"I am a Democrat!r But alas! how
art the mighty fallen. 1t will take
