EDITOR The CAUCASIAN:
.'Groyer the Brave" his most puis-
SAINT Cabinet, Senators, Congressman
and party henchmen sowed the wind
of personal discord, petty spites and
political greed. The harvest Is a
mighty whirlwind whose whitening
blasts more certain than the edicts
of the Modes and Persians, and more
deadly than the siroccO that sweeps
over the hot and waste of handbook
ed Sahara has scattered the poison
Of discord and disatfectIon in every
crack and creyice of time-honoIed
DemOcracy's party structure. Its
dust and ashes, from which no re-
splendent Phoenix will arise, besmear
the Nations face and blind the eyes
of the party's household gods, while
enemies point the finger of ridicule
and scorn at an administration whose
purpose appears to be to make the
country's veal entirely subservient
to selfish personal ends-whose PRAC-
TICE it is to utterly ignore time-hon-
ored services and fidelity in order to
give place and position to snivelling
deserters from other parties-new
proselytes, protesting version just
in time to cry "halves" in the distri-
button of the lOayes and fishes.
WANTING IN ABILITY AND MAN
HOOD.
Lacking the ability to right the
wrong, and the manhood to attempt
it, the principle dramatis persona in
this national farcial tragedy, the
foremost Of the "Illustrious Brave
the trusted sentinels on the waite,
tower of the peoples dearest interest,
instead of standing bravely at their
post when the battle waged warm,
or calling upon the mountains to
fall down and hide them, sought a
safer and less dangerous hiding
place in the lntermovable morasses
of the Dismal Swamps, and along
the winding shores of Eastern North
Carolina, where in government
boat they foated with the tide upon
the waves Of fortune trusting to the
supremacy of former luck to relieve
them of personal responsibility IN
der the spacious pretext of killing a
few ducks and geese, while the ma
tion groaned in agony. That they
succeeded in killing few geese his
tory will record.
AN AMERICAN HERCULES WANTED.
Perhaps they made some foot
prints in the sand along our pebbly
| beach the waves will erase and leave
no sign but their desertion of SC
| high trust in time of trouble will be
engraved on tablets more lasting
than marble, bronze or time. They
will be erected at the gateway OF
Americas Augean stable after some
Hercules has cleaned them out.
No wonder if the American eagle
will change to vulture. No wond
er that patriots are g1ieved, and thai
manhood bushes, for no where in
the pages of all history is there eth.
err precedent or prototype for such
conduct save in that of the despiseC
and desecrated Nero who tiddleG
while grand old Rome was burning.
Now, if never before, can we real
ize the full import of the Roman pa
triots sad refrain, 20 Temporal, c
mores ~ for truly We have fallen
upon sad times and strange customs.
Cease your unmanly broils-put youl
foot upon the neck of each and every
| form enter of disaster pat away from
you the truckulent knaves who bow
| down to Wall Streets Hannah the
fellows who "bend the sSpplian;
knee that thrift may follow favn-
ing" and save the country ere it be
too late.
THE PEOPLE BETRAYED.
LIZ our lilustrlous President car

particeps eriminis with David B
Hill, let id omnes" of the strife max
ers and party Ereckers, no North
Carolinian, or son OF the 'Los1
Cause" will envy him or his reputa
ton. Neither will there be any
found in this bailiwick who will at
tempt to stay his hand in bis apateul
iimpersonation of the nefarious and
spectuaar Richard the Third of Eng
land, who imnortalized himself by
mounting to power by Staying hi:

delayed fulfllment reminds many oil
