improbable that Senator Ransom will

with the Presidents financial policy

Carlisle, Gresham and the transfer
of Hoke Smith to a judicial function,
will call for the appointment Of IA

in the thought any way as he junkets
across the continent in search of deep
water on the Pacific coast. 1t seems
the irony of Iute that he should be
hunting for deeper water just at this
time, when she greatest treshet on

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1894-11-22

The Democratic party has deserted
all Of the principles on which the
party was founded. If Thomas JEFF
ferson and Andrew jackson were
living to-day they would repudiate
and denounce the machine now mas
quradlng under the name of demOc-
racy. Is there single reason why
the party should live? If there is
we challenge any member of the par
ty to name it.
On the other hand the Republican
party has deserted the principles of
Abraham Lincoln. The National
machinery of both parties Is in the
hands Of the monopolists and gold
bugs. Let the patriots in both par
ties leave their goldbug allies and
join together in the Peoples party.
When this is done the goldbugs in
the two old parties will be driven
together into one party. Then the
lines will be clearly drawn and every
one, even though he be way fare
ing man can see where his interests
and duty lies. The fight is now be-
tween the people and the gold trust,
and when the great masses of the
people once see it and draw the
lines in battle array then and there
only will the money changers be driv-
en- from the temple and your iber-
ties and the government restored to
the people. 1t is coming. May God
speed the day.

MUST GET TOGETHER.

The interests of the South and
West are identical. The single gold
standard is crushing the life out of
these sections, and for their own
preservation there must be a per-
feet union of forces. The finance
question is the problem of the age.
Like Bauguost ghost it will not
dawn. The veal or woe of the hui
man family is involved in the solu
ton of this question. If settled
equitably prosperity will quickly
follow. The depression now so
universal is due solely to a lack of
money to transact the business that
is ever increasing. The history of
all nations shows that they sank in
of government, when their money
became concentrated in the hands
Of a few. That is the condition of
our country to-day. twenty-five
thousand people own half the
wealth. Millions are made out
of false, and terminating
financial system. where only thou
sands are made out of the tariff.
The South has shown disposition,
by breaking away from the old
moorings, to join with the West in
the coming irrepressible conflict. Let
them unite for victory.

morrow will say: Several far-seeing Cali

a wine syndicate to control and regulate
the price of products of the vineyards.
There are nearly two thousand acres OF

$50, 100000 For six or seven years past the
vineyards have produced yearly about two
million gallons of wine in excess of the
demand. and prices dropped till ii was not

DEED OF A CRAZY MAN
THOMAS HEWITT GASHES HIS
THROAT WITH A KNIFE,
Wounds His Wife and Four Children,
Jumps Through n Window and
Fractures His Skull.

KEARNEY, N. J., Aug. 19-Thomas
Hewitt, an ironmolder. made an attempt to-
day to kill his wife and four children. He
wounded them ALL but not fatally, and then
sprang from a window and ended his life.
He has been suffering for some time past
from typhoid malaria. Early this morning
he entered the room where his wife and
children were lying. He had a sharp knife,
with which he gashed his throat. Mrs.
Hewitt was awakened by her husbands ex-
clamation when he drew the knife across
his neck. She screamed at the sight he pre-
scented and sprang toward him. He raised
the knife and exclaimed: Julia, our time
has come" With this he pushed the woman
aside and sprang to the bed. He made
vicious lunge at the eldest child, a boy of
seven years, with the knife. He appears
to have been so excited he could not see,
for the knife buried itself in the bedding
between the child and another two years
younger He drew it out and struck again
and again at the children but they had
been awakened by a scream from the moth
er, and he inflicted no serious injury, al
cut. Mrs. Hewitt threw herself between
her insane husband and the children. In
endeevoring TO catch his arm she received
flesh the elbow. The downward stroke
of the knife continued and tore the arm
to the wrist. Mr.. Hewitt then sprang
through the window, carrying the sash and
head and fractured his skull, dying an hour
later.

MARK TWAIN GOES ABROAD.
He Saw His Name on the Paris's List

New York Sun

Probably the most inconspicuous passen-
ger on the American line steamship Paris,
which sailed yesterday morning for South
ampton, was a languid man with fluffy
gray hair who looked as il he had made
a mistake in taking passage in the cabin.
He carried old umbrella in one hand
and a crush hat done up in newspaper
in the other. A few persons recognized
was travelling as Mark Twain, professional
humorist. He was somewhat late; in fact,
II he had been few minutes later; he might
have had TO walk TO Europe or take the
him that the Paris was ready to sail. He
answered with his familiar drawl:

A SUNDAY NlGdr rIGHi.
Frank Mccullough Called on the Millers
and Was Badly Beaten.

A mysterious quarrel occurred I'm the
Capitol laundry block last night, i'm which
Mrs William Miller was struck in the
face by her husband and Frank McCul-
Tough was brutality beaten. Miller Is
saw maker. employed at the Atkins saw
works, and lives in the Capitol laundry
block Capitol avenue. About 10 o'clock
last night Mccullough. who is a Harrison
street barber. called at the Miller rooms
with young lady friend and X. II. Hilder-
brand. Mccullough was drinking. and be-
fore the party broke up il became neces-
sary for Hilderbrand-to escort the young
lady home.
Shortly after their departure Mccullough
attempted TO leave, but Miller ordered him
to remain. He insisted on going out, and
was only prevented by a blow in the head
delivered by Miller. Mccullough was
knocked senseleSs and Mrs. Miller inter-
posed an objection To further violence on
the part of her husband. With a cry OF
rage he struck her in the face and she
reeled from the room. the blood streaming
the door himself and Mccullough, who
was recovering from he blow. and deiied
his wife and the police. Otto Hilderbrand,
who had returned, went down the street 10
find the officers at the request of Mrs Miller.
In the meantime officers Simpson and
Kurtz. who are on this district. had ar
rived at the scene, being attracted by "A
crowd which had gathered about the build
ing. They had gone up TO the floor below
the one on Wh1ch the MIXERS uNed anu
talked with Mrs. Miller. Upon her state
ments they went to the third floor to ar
rest Miller and Mccullough They found the
two men locked i'm the room. The officers
ordered them 10 open the door and they
refused to do so. When the officers threat
ened to break down the door if il not
opened the men said they would Kill them
If they did, and threatened 10 shoe. through
the panel of the door.
The officers were in doubt as to their
right to break in the door, and Captain
oil fiaaA nf Ffa Cff Ion
came to the building. and after some con-
versation with the men, with the door
locked and barred between them, they
agreed to open ii if the crowd was driven
from in front of the building. The crowd
dispersed, and the men opened the
door and submitted quietly 10 arrest. Nc
Cullough presented a pitiable appearance
and appeared if he had been terribly
beaten. On the entrance of the police three
strong quilts knotted together were found
dangling from the window. Miller said that
he and Mccullough had intended to en-
ploy this plan of escaping had they not
been surprised.

of electricity that appeared 10 roll from

the atmospheric disturbances as unprece-

an hour at time the wires were so heavily
charged to render all attempts to work
them futile.
The disturbance was first apparent about
sunset, and its effects upon the wires
seemed TO be manifested with a greater de-
gree of intensity as the night wore on, and
not until near midnight was there any
abatement The reports of the Associated
Press and other telegraphic news matter
are much curtailed this morning in conse-
quence of the electric disturbance.
