THE BLAND BILL.

1t is amusing to see how some
goldbug Democratic editors are try
ing to glorify over the passage of the
Bland Bill. They say that this bill
will save the party. 1t may, but it
will not save the people. They say
that this bill proves that the Demo
cratic party is standing by its prom
ises to the people. This is case of
drowning rats catching at straws.
II this Bland bill, which simply issues
the small amount Of silver now in the
Treasury and than stops, is all the
Democrats intended to do when they
wrote the Chicago platform, then
every candidate and Democratic
speaker is guilty of getting votes in
the last campaign under false pre-
lenses.
THE CAUCASIAN favors the Bland
bill because it helps a little to re-
gain what we lost by the repeal Of
the Sherman law even, but we will
not allow Democratic papers to
create the impression that they have
done their duty to the people by the
passage of this bill. The goldbugs
even would have been willing to
traded off the Sherman silver law for
the Bland billiard they could give
a half dozen Bland bills in exchange
for bond issue.

NO MORE, IF YOU PLEASE.

What we need is a long period of
Democratic rule. Democrats cannot
In four years, or eight years, undo
all the evil that Republicans have
been thirty years in doing. x
Before the war this country had
about forty years of Democratic ad-
mlnlstration on stretch and it was
never so prosperous in any other
period before or since. If we could
now have long period of such good
honest Democratic rule we believe
every industry would be given equal
advantages and the stars and stri pes
would once more float over a nation
of free, prosperous and contented
people.-Sampson Democrat.
Every word of the above is true
but the first sentence. In fact the
first sentence is not justified by what
follows. 1t is true that the Democra-
tic party could not undo all the bad
legislation since the war at once if it
tried. But is it trying to better
this bad legislation? A party as we'll
as an individual should be judged
more by the direction it is going
than by the position that it occupies.
The Democrats went into power
denouncing all the evil laws passed
under Republican rule and simply
asked for chance to right them in
the interests of the people. Instead
OF doing this, the party has stepped
into the shoes of their Republican
predecessors, and are now proceed
ing to finish up the unfinished mi
guilty of the plutocratic wing of the
Wall street party.
The people do not want and will
not have any more such mugwump
bastard Democratic rule as we have
now. They want to return to the
good old Democratic rule of Jeffer-
son, jackson and Lincoln. The
Democratic party no longer endorses
Or follows the teachings of Jefferson
and Jackson, and the Republican
party no longer is guided by the
principles of Lincoln. If these
three great statesmen were living to-
day they would belong to the Peo-
Ile's party. There is not a great
principle of government that they
stood for that the Peoples party
does not endorse to-day.
Plutocracy has captured and cor
rupted the governing end of the
Democratic party as well as the Re-
publican party. That tie people
can never reform either of these old
parties is clear to every person in
formed on the history of politics.
There is but one hope for the people
they must come together in the
Peoples party and drive the monop-
'ly ridden parties from power.

Joy AMONG THE DEMOCRATS"

The above is part of the big double
headlines with which Mugwump, ma,
chine Democratic newspapers in this
and other Southern States announced
the passage by the House of the
Bland bill to coin the seignoirage in
the treasury. The following is a sam.
pie extract of some of the special dis
patches sent out from Washington
to Democratic papers in those States
where the Peoples party is strong
est:
1.-The elimination of Democratic
hopes came when, after weeks of roll
calls and heart burnings, the seig-
homage, or rather bullion-coining
bill, so faithfully championed by
Mr.. Bland, its author, passed the
House triumphantly this afternoon. -"
What is the meaning of all this
sudden gush over very small and
insignificant silver bill7 A bill that
does for the people less than the Re-
publican silver bill. Several months
ago these same papers and those
same special correspondents in Wash
ington were talking like goldbugs.
These men ridiculed the silver ques-
ton and referred CONTEMPORARY to
those who advocated silver coinage
In any form as "silverites" and "sil-
yer cranks." They knew that King
Grover was goldbug and they
thought the way to get their share
from the "pie-counter" was to "cuc-
koo" when the White House clock
struck. But they are just now learn
ing that the people are for free coin
age and more money and will not
follow them to the gold standard. So
having gotten about their share from
the "pis-counter," they have decided
that the best thing for the party now
il to cuss Cleveland a little and to
shout for silver. In North Carolina
the State machine will do anything
to fool the people into voting the
Democratic ticket again. Last fall
when all these same papers were
bowling down to and landing Cleve-
land, THE CAUCASIAN saw then what
was coming and warned the people.
We told the people week after week
that as soon as these machine papers
and politicians learned that the peo-
pie would not follow any further,
that then they would begin to abuse
Cleveland and the Eastern Democra-
cy. They are now at. But the peo-
pie are on to their tricks and will
govern themselves accordingly.

TENNYSON ON SPRING

We have the word of Alfred Ten
nyson for it that in the spring the
young mans fancies lightly turn to
thoughts of love. 1t is singular that
the great laureate omitted to men
ton the fact that it is in the spring
that a considerable portion of the
human race turn to taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but
the difficulty of finding a good rhyme
for that invaluable remedy deferred
him. Certain it is that the old-time
domestic remedies are generally dis
carded in favor of the standard
blood purifier, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which has attained the greatest pop-
uiarity all over the country as the
favorite Spring Medicine. It pu1i-
lies the blood and gives nerve, men
tai, bodily and digestive strength.

cart EsHE ANSWERED

Oar attention has been called to
the following editorial paragraphs
from the News Observer Chronicle.
which escaped our attention at the
lime they appeared
1.-The Caucasian seems TO saw in
rs last issue that it does not object
10 the provisions Of the election Law
hat are intended 10 identify the vo-
ers and prevent fraud. Now, if the
Caucasian really means that, why
not come out fiatfooted and say SO
On the other hand, 10 make a gem
eral reply TO its long article, il there
e any provision OF the election law
ute nded TO facilitate the perpetra-
ton OF frauds. we do object to them;
out We do not know of any of them
aad if the Caucasian thinks there are
any such, will it please point them
out r.
In reply to the first paragraph we
will say that THE CAUCASIAN does
not object to any provision of the
election law that will prevent fraud
and would like to see other provis-
ions added that would check some
frauds that are now practiced. We
do not even object to the require
ment that the voter shall register his
full name. &C., which Simmons laid
80 much stress on in his secret circu-
lar. The crime came in by using in
formation about decision that was
not yet known to the public and US
ing it for the sole benefit of one
party.
But in this connection we wish to
ask Capt. Ashe when he refers to
"the changes made in the law to
identify votes and prevent fraud,
&C.," does lie mean the amendments
passed to the law by the General AS
sembly of 1899, or does he refer to
1.-The changes" made by the decision
of the Supreme Court7 The eau
CAsIAN has asked Capt. Ashe this
question before, but for some cause
he decided not to answer it. That
part of the decision of the court
which makes it the fault of the vo-
ter and result in DISTINGUISHING him,
If the registrar should not ask the
proper questions and get the proper
answers, will strike every fair mind
ed man as strange law and still
stranger equity. This is a provision
very fruitful of fraud and sharp
practice. How easy would it be for
Republican registrar to ask such
questions from a Republican voter
as will bring out the requisite in
formation to make legal ragistra-
ton, and,hOw equally easy it would |
be for him to allow Democratic vo-
ters to give only partial or incorrect |
information, simply to be CHALLENGED |
and disfranchised on the day of
election. This is exactly what the
decision of the Supreme Court says
hat the Democratic machine may
aow do, with the positive assurance
hat the court will endorse and up
lold the fraud. Capt. Ashe in the
asst paragraph above says that he is
opposed to any provisions that will
facilitate the preparation of fraud"
We would like to hear from him on
he above provision. We have pointed
'ut one, when we hear from him on
hat, we will point out others.

SOME THING WE LEARNED ON THE
CARS

1t was on the G. & o. railroad be-
tween Richmond and Cincinnati. We
were on our way to Topeka, Kan, to
attend the annual session of the Su-
preme Council of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union. We were passing through
the beautiful mountain scenery of
West Virginia. But having been
over the road before it was not the
scenery that we were watching this
time, but something we had previous
ly paid but little attention to. We
were watching every step in the pro-
cess of coal mining that was in sight.
We had used coal the past winter for
the first time, and were anxious to
learn what made it cost such high
prices per ton, when nature had
it in such abundance. There
sat with me very intelligent gentle
man, whose acquaintance / had form
ed soon after leaving Richmond.
Our conversation had covered many
questions, but neither of us had in
formed the other as to our respective
business. We were travelling as two
" hail fellows, we'll met" II
asked him if he knew anything about
the coal question: He said yes he
was coal miner but asked what /
meant by the "coal question 7" II
told him to be specific, lived in
North Carolina and that the coal
that used in my stoves and CRATES
come from these coal fields, and that
l would like to know something
about the labor and cost of raising
the coal from the mines and prepar-
ing it for shipmantf

WASHINGTON, March 2. - The

perate efforts of the Democratic Fan

was yeas, 1853; nays, 129. The dead
lock was broken by Settles vote Oh

was followed yesterday by affirma
tive votes, making a quorum and in
favor of the bill. From the outset it
has been Settles purpose to vote for
the bill, and paired on that side,

It's policy to compel the majority to
furnish quorum for the ction
of the public business. The quorum
line had been so nearly reached when
it was apparent that it was prevent
ed by unavoidable absences, further
obstruction became indefensible as a
matter Of principle, and his vote end
ed the deadlock. 1t was a manly
thing to do in the face of a united
party opposition, and it was so rec
ognized on the Democratic side of
the House.

Az OLD VETERAN RETURNS.
Forty years ago Galusha A. Grow
was elected 10 congress from Penu-
syivanis. At the time he WAS the
law of David Wilmot, of .'wilnot
proviso" fame In 1859 he was chal-
lenged by Hon. L. o. B. Branch. of
North Carolina. Ex-Governor War
rem Winslow was the bearer of the
hostile message. Grow declined 10
fight. He said duelling was inhibit-
ed BY act of congress that it Was
unchristian /; an uneivllized and un-
basiness like way of settling disputes
between gentlemen. II was during
Christmas week 1859, when the post
Office appropriation bill was under
consideration. In the discussion
Branch asserted that Crows opposi-
ton TO the bill was intended to force
an extra session Of congress, This
assertion Mr.. Grow replied WAS Gun
worthy the reputat ton of a gentle
man. Declining to apologize or re-
tract, he was challenged. At the
ensuing session of congress he was
elected Speaker Of the House. After
an absence of quarter of a cent ury
he comes back to congress and finds
here the son of his antagonist of
1859. When he left congress in 1862
the country was deluged with the
blood and carnage of a civil war.
His re-appsaranee in public life now
is protest against the madness and
lmpotency of = Democratic policy
that thrsathens an Industrial revolu-
ton hardly less portentious.
