tPlOT BLOW UP THE ChPlTOL~t
COlOBUG LIE.

The goldbug anarchists have
Matched a blood and thunder story
about a great plot to blow up the l..
S. Capitol. This canard was sent out
by the monopollsts through their
mouth-piece the "Press Dispatches. "
The story has been published in ev-
cry old party paper IN America.
They have tried to make it appear
that those in the alleged plot were
members of the Peoples party. The
object Of this is very plain. The
goldbug5 know that if the people
voted their convictions and for their
own interests that they will repudl-
ate the Democratic and Republican
parties and vote the Peoples party
ticket. They have no argument
with which they can fool the people
again. SO they are now trying tc
brighten the people by attempting tc
make it appear that the success OF
the Peoples party means the success
of anarchy.
1t would not surprise us if the
goldbugs were to hire some one tC
explode some dynamite about the
Capitol, and then through the Press
Dispatches declare that the man be
longed to the Peoples party.
The machine in North Carolira
cali not cry "negro in the wood pile
any longer, in as much as all the
negro counties have gone democratic
80 they are glad to cry anarchy anC
dynamite.
But this goldbug plot to brighten
the people will not work. The PEG
pies party is composed Of the most
conservative elements of the ole
parties. 1t is composed OF men who
want the present wrongs rlghted by
due process of legislation and execu
ton of law. The old party ma
chimes are to-day playing the part Of
anarchists by refusing to observe anc
execute laws, and playing the part Of
traitors and tyrannists by passing
laws in the interests of the few
against the interests of the many.

OLD PARTY ORGANS CITING CON
VERIFIED.

The News Observer Chronicle in
it's issue Of last Saturday said that il
was now converted to the anti-option
bill. We are glad to see this. We
hope that it will after awhile get It's
eyes op4n further.
When the editor Of THE CAUCA-
SIAN several years ago was advoca
ting an anti-option bill. an incom e
tax, railroad commission, and a
better financial system, the Moo.
then News and Observer tried to
ridiclile our position and tried to an
swer our arguments with abuse. Day
after day that paper wrote editorials
claiming that an anti-Optlon bill
would hurt the farmers; day after
day it published editorials trying to
show that a Railroad commission
would be against the best interests
of the State; day after day more ed
itorials were written saying that the
tariff was the greatest issue before
the American people and that our
present financial system was the best
the world ever saw. The Alliance
has continued to fight for these and
other reforms (whiIe every old party
organ was opposing them) till the
people are now so well informed as
to the business of and the necessity
for these reforms that these old mo-
nopoly organs are forced to change
their position. During this time,
which side has been the true friend
Of the people?

SEND WISE MEN TO STATE CONVEN
TONS

Those counties which cannot con
yeniently hold their conventions as
early as July 4th, will be able to hold
them later. The State convention
is called to meet Aug lst, SO coun-
ty could hold its convention as late
as the last week in July, if it so de-
sires.
Each county should send its most
conservative men to the State conven-
ton. Wise counsel rather than
speech-making is needed. If the
State convention takes the proper ac-
ton, the Peoples party will surely
win i'll the coming fight.

SADI CARNOT SLAIN.
The French President Stabbed by a
Fanatic.

Sadi Carnot, President Of the
French Republic, was stabbed with
dagger last Saturday i'll Lyons by
Cesare Giovanni Santo. an Italian,
and died in three hours. The assas-
sin was promptly arrested. The
President had just taken a carriage
for the Lyons theatre when the an
archist emerged from the crowd,
sprang to the step of the vehicle and
struck his victim in the side with his
fatal weapon. But for police inter
ference the enraged populace would
have lynched the assassin on the
spot. The Senate and the Chamber
of Deputies assembled in Congress
at Versailles yesterday for the pur-
pose of electing a new President.

EDITOR CAUCAsIAN:-On Satur-

our town to large and enthusiastic
gathering of our best citizens. He
was invited to address the Peoples

out to hear him, and he held the
audience spell-bound for two hours,
with forcible and logical argument,
which | cannot give in detail, but
suffice it to say he hewed to the line,

discussed county, state and national

A FOREIGN VIEW.

There is nothing Wall-street inanciers
are more certain Of than that the United
States cannot adopt bimetallism without
the cooperation Of the gold nations of
Europe. Bimetallism by international
agreement is the only bimetaIlism that is
deemed possible. Wall street, of course.
mpresses its views upon organs OF public
opinion in that part of the country. Even
Chicago. which is not ordinarily tha tail
to the Wall-street kite, recently convened
her brokers and merchants 10 repeat the
solemn formula that bimetallism was a
good thing in itself. but it was out of our
reach until the great commercial nations
of Europe would help us to get it,
But the London Economist takes a
different view of the proposition. That
journal admits that Senator Cameron was
right when be said that il the United
States would venture TO cut herself adrift
from Europe and take outright to silver
she would have all America and Asia at
her back, and would command the mar
kets Of both continents. The Economist
continues:
The barrier Of gold would be more fatal than
any barrier of the custOm-house. The bond of
silver would be stronger than any bond Of
free trade. There can be no doubt abont it,.
that if the United States were 10 adopt a silver
basis tomorrow British trade would be ruined
before the year was out. Every American in
dustry would be protected not only at home
but in every other market.
The marvel Is, the English journal SAYS.
that the United States has not long ago
seized the opportunity. but it accounts for
its own marvel by the contemp,uous remark
that the United States has been restrained
from branching out for itself by the be-
lief in the United States that che way of
England is necessarily the way to com
mereial success and prosperity" 1t is ad-
mitted by the Economist that lit has been
a piece OF luck for us that it has never be-
fore occurred to Americans to SCOOP us out
OF the worlds markets by going on a sill
yer basis"
With the worlds markets in sight the
United States has refused to reach out for

the former among gentlemen who are inter

says that the enterprise was started by chem
ist named Allaire, formerly of Peoria, Ill. The
stuff looks like putty, is of the same consist
ency, but more sticky, and it is sold in New

used in England for some time where il was

INTERNATIONAL GOOD WILL.

The London papers are saying some
pleasant things about the United States
just now. Referring to the banquet given
TO the officers Of the Chicago the London
Chronicle says: The festival was
recognition Of the feeling that Anglo
Saxon states are one realm not by act of
Parliament but by act Of Providence"
Warming up with its theme, the same
journal says: IF the dream of imperial
federation on the line Of justice and equity
should be realized, why should not the
federation include the United States and
all Engish-speaking races?" Perhaps it
would have been well if the Chronicle had
preceded this inteTrogatory by giving some
reason why it should. Ia Canada, Austria
liza and other British provinces there is
certain sentiment which is stimulated into
activity by the dream of imperial fedora
ton. Realizing that they cannot remain
colonies forever, they are pleased at the
idea of becoming an integral part Of the
British nation. This feeling is natural
and cOmmendable. but nothing like it
exists in the United States. There is no
American enmity of Great Britain, 10 de-
sire for her humiliation, but little of that
feeling which would prompt our
people to take the part Of Great Britain
against any Of the great European
powers. There are certainly individuals
in the United States who cherish an in
tense admiration OF everything English
but this feeling is confined very nearly to
the class who would like to see the social
distinctions Of English life engrafted upon
American institutions. They are people,
in fact, who would have a permanent head
20 the Government Instead of one elected
pro TEN. with the order Of nobility that
would naturally accompany such change.
But the American people are not affected
that way. We are still inclined to esti-
mate men rather by what they do than by
what their ancestors did. We are too
practical to want to attach ourselves to a
form Of government that is passing away.
The expressions Of good feeling we have
quoted DO nOtconvey 3 compliment. though
doubtless they were intended in good faith.
No English journal could be expected to
realize that any other country could con-
ceiVe of higher destiny than to become a
part of the Greater Great Britain.
