RAILWAY NATI0NAII/ATI


have been opposed TO the nationaliza-
uon, or government ownership of the
railroads, from the time that quest
ION began to be discussed. But re
cent study of the question has
brough, about "A complete change in
our views upon this subject We
are now distinctly in favor of the
government owning and operating
all the railroads in the country, and
the following are some of the reasons
which control our conclusion:
First, Government ownership of
the railroads would take all the
greater and more INSCRIPTIONS cor
poratlOns in the country out of poll
ties at once. This result would
certainly follow, for those corpora
tons would go out of existence.
Even, If those corporations did not
vanish at once, as the result Of the
naturalization of the railways, their
motive to interfere in, and control,
elections and legislative bodys would
vanish, when no profits could come
TO stockholders as the result Of such
interference.
Second, Government ownership of
railroads would eliminate all hurt
ful rlvalrles betwixt different sec
tons and cities of the country. by
making it impossible for Chambers
of Commerce, Stock Exchanges and
Boards Of Trade to employ any of
the railways to promote schemes of
local self aggrandlZement. To eli
inmate from our national life this
one cause of disturbance, would be
worth, to the people, all it might cost
them to acquire possession of the
railways. For any one may know,
that there is, and can be, no as
surance for the perpetuity of freedom
in country dominated by cities and
sections.
Third, Government ownership of
the railroads would cheaper the cost
Of transportation by, at least, one
half. Freight and passenger traffic
would be reduced to actual cost: and
the hundreds of millions now paid
annually IN dividends to stockhold-
ers would be saved to the people.
Thus the railways would leave iG
the hands of those who make it,
wealth which, under the present
syst IN, they collect out of those
hands and pay over to a few men,
who use their money to still further
increase their incomes.
Fourth, Government ownership of
the railroads would give employ
ment to an increasing number of la
bors pay them better wages, and
work them fewer hours per day.
nder such system moreover, or
ganlzatlons to control wages would
disappear from amongst one entire
class of labOrers at once.
Finally, Government ownership of
the railroads would introduce the
principle of cooperation into the
business life Of the country, and do
much to eliminate from that life the
savage principle of competition.
These and other reason, which
might easily be given, have caused
us to change our view in relation to
this question. In future number
We shall present some suggestions as
to the best course to be taken by the
government to acquire a just title to
the railway property of the country.

Mt. HOLLY, Sept.

Especial to HE CAUCASIAN
Mt. HOLLY, Sept. 10.
The joint discussion here to-day
was unt Xpt ct. d. 1t was Mr.. Lin
ney's appointment but lis opponent,
Mr.. Bower, appeared on the scene
and a division Of time was promptly
agreed to. 1t is no eXaggeration to
say that Linney blistered Bowen
ana made him sorry many times
over, for bis temerity and apparently
unconscious invulnera hility. He
made but one point IN his speech,
and that fell p, ,rfectIy fiat. Like II
great many other Democrats and
Republicans, including Bower, Lin
ney has said some very hard things
about the PopulistS, bat he has new
el been charged with an attempt to
deceive tn, IN or to cheat them out If
an election. Therein is one marked
difference between Linney and Bow
-r, in Linney's favor. Election
frauds in Winston and Mt Airy
made NJ. Bower the representative
from this district III the present Con
greSs. He knows how it was done
and accepted his certificate knowing
that it had no other basis than
fraud. Popu.ists Will hardly aprre-
ciate Bowers services in critirising
Linney's Inconsistency What
they have have honestly pledged to
DO they Will faithfully perform.
BOWERS TRAMP PRINTER.
1t is said here. upon pretty good
authority, that Bowers tariff speech
was written by a tramp printer, and
that he refused to pay the poor
devil" for his services until compell-
ID to do 50 by suit in the District Of
Columbia. | understand that suit
was brought and sooner than subject
himself to the notOriety involved In
such scar dalous proceeding he
compromised it. But whether it is
true or not, he is far from being a
match for Linney, and the reports
to the contrary in the Democratic
newspapers are fabrications out Of
the whole cloth. p.

AluXtOn, \. c.:


Dear Sir:-Iu nv letter Of thr
22nd instant, in which, replying tc
your inquiry as to the nature and ex-
tent cf the duties and powers Of Su-
peryisOrS Of Elections for Represent
atiyes and delegates in Congress, |
referred you ID Sections 2OlG to 202G
Revised Statutes of the United States.
and endeayored briefly to summarize
their principle provisions. | failed
to call your attention to Section 2O29
Of the same statute, which seems to
make "a marked difference between
the powers and duties of such Super
v.sorS a5 may be "drponted for any
county or parish in any Congre8sion-
al district, at the instance Of ten cit
,zens,' aud those appointed upon
the applict ttion of two citizens ''ln
al. city or town haEing upward of
twenty thousand Inb!bltan IS The
powers cf Supervisors in cities aud
toWrs having upwards Of twenty
| thousand inhabitants are much more
extensive than those appointed in
counties and Parishes. They are, in
the former, a5 | said in my letter,
specifically enumerated in Sections
4Ol6 to 2056, while in the latter it is
expressly provided they ''shaIl have
no authority to make arrests, per-
form any other duties than to be in
the immediate presence of the officers
holding the election, and to witness
| all their proceedings, including the
counting Of votes and the making of
return thereof" The original stat
ute, commonly Y known as the En-
forcem Act was passed in 1870
and amended in 1871, but it was not
until June, 1872, that the clause to
which | now call your attention was
adopted. Being amendatory Of the
original act, it must be interpreted
with reference to it; and the obvious
purpose being to limit the powers
and duties of Supervisors IN county
and parish election districts or pre-
| tluCIHs II SdOtIU IOG VI COuSLI uSu W
confer any powers by im mphcation,
but only those expressly enumerated.
| therefore am of the opinion that
Supervisors in county and parish elec-
ton districts have not the right, as
such Supervisors, to challenge voters,
or to make lists of registered elec-
tors, or to scrutinize ballots or re-
turns. In fact, they have no duties
to perform with respect to regiotra-
ton, but simply to Je in the lmme-
dlate presence of the officers holding
the election and witness all their
proceedings, including the countings
of the votes and making the returns
thereof.
Very truly yours,

BANKRUPT TREASURY.

= The 40,000, 900 sugar tax was nee
essary, Secretary Carlisle said, to
save the treasury from insolvency
and bankruptcy. But ~ cent wheat,
& cent cotton and cent sugar does
not fill the farmers cup OF happiness
to the brim. What he needs to make
him entirely happy is cheap broad
cloth and the NIcaraguan Canal!
That 'Malakoff" was 50 gloriousIy
won is due 10 the able and patriotic
young North Carolinian, Col. Julian
5. Carr, President Of the North Car
olina branch of the Club Association.
"PERIsH THE THOUGHT"
1t has been suggested that the Raj
eigh episode was the opening of
Col. Carr's campaign as candidate
for Governor in 1896. But those
who know him best resent the suc-
gestion. The demonstration was not
particularly relished by Chairman
