A STRONG POSITION AGAINST THE
LEASE.

TAKBoRo, N. c., Nov, 25th, '95
The article by LEX" in the last issue
of the CAUCASIAN was evidently writ
ten by learned and skillful technical
lawyer. He took a strong position
against the lease of the n. G. Railroad
and in the course of his argument adj
mirably sustained his view of the mat
ter.
The Alliance can do the people of
the State valuable service in testing
the validity of the lease in the courts,
and trust immediate steps will be ia
ken to undo the infamous work of the
directors. who by their action, virtual
Iy sold the States interest in the road.
in spite of the vehement protests of
the press and the State Alliance.
Every County Alliance in the State
should contribute to aid in the fight
for the preservation of the States
rights and interest in this valuable
property.
am sure that Lexis" timely article
will be endorsed by the people through
out the State. =.

A complete and immediate revolu-
ton of transportation methods, invOlv-
ing reduction of freight charges on
grain from the West to New York of
from 30 to 60 per cent, is what is pre-
dicted in the November Cosmopolitan.
The plan proposes using light and in
expensive corrugated iron cylinders,
hung on a slight rail supported on
poles from crOss-arm-the whole sys-
tenn involving an expense 81 not more
than fifteen hundred dollars a mile for
construction. The rolling stock is equal
ly simple and comparatively inexpen-
sive. Continuous lines of cylinders,
moving with no interval to speak of,
would carry more grain in day than
quadruple track railway. This would
constitute a sort of grain-pipe line.
The Cosmopolitan also points out the
probable abolition of street-cars before
the coming hOrseless carriage, which
can be operated by boy on asphalt
pavements at total expense for labor,
oil, and interest, of not more than one
dollar a day.

We have said it before and we say it

to smother it by wild and fierce discus

EDIroR CAUcAsIAx: II was glaif 70
read the article Of Lex on the Iease Of
the North Carolina Railroad.
The action Of the States proxy and
the directors WAS In bad tasee and In
opposition TO the desire Of the people.
Had the actors In this matter been OF
the same political faith - were the nc
tors when the lease Was nrst made, che
scandal would have been greater than
that created by the lease in 1870. But
some people seem to think they are
privileged to do - they please and are
exempt from criticism no matter what
is the character Of their official acta.
The present contract Of lease ought
not 10 have been entered into. II the
road is TO be again leased the contract
ought not TO be made until just before
the expiration Of the lease now Ia
force. II 1t is the policy of the State
and private stockholders to lease the
road again, the public interests demand
that it shall be done in such manner n
to invite the fullest competition and
thereby obtain the highest rental. In
this view 1t 10 to be hoped that . suit
will be brought to prevent the consum-
nation OF the present contract, and il

ton, as one Of the people, wish to

from the standpoint taken by Lex

can only get the facts, il they can be

under obligations to railroads ant
their officers and agents, that theil
hands are tied, their months are CLOSED
and they are hence largely shorn O
their power to save the people from
railroad and other corporate infid
ences. AS the CAUCASIAN seems to b,
free from such bases and Independent
of them, it is hoped that this 80 yea
, railroad lease will be thoroughly ant
critically examined, that the light
will be turned on, and that all phase
, Of the question will be properly ant
, dispassionately discussed. By thes.
