EDITORIAL COM Nj IcNI'.

The o. L. papers are trying to get
up some excitement over a proposition
to nominate Cleveland for third term.
There has been much pow-wowing
about it--some claiming that all the ira
ditiOns of the country and party are
opposed to third terms while others are
"whooping her up" for Cleveland on
the ground that he is big man-big-
it would require but a mighty little
man to reach those dimensions now.
Then came report that Cleveland said
he wouldn't have third term. Then
came report saying he didn't say it.
And SO tpe pow WOW goes on. 1t will
be remembered that Cleveland said
he Wouldu' have SECOND term when
he was first elected, but he accepted
two nominations after that. He will
take fourth one it he can get it.

AXE YOU WATCHING EVENTS

Some months ago THE CAUCASIAN
made political forecast in which It
predicted that Levi =. Morton, ex-
vicc-President and nOw-GOvernor of
New York, would be n candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomi-
natien and possibly the nominee.
1t is IN strict accordance with the o.
p. policy that he should be. The
ROsthchilds now have an awful,
sitting grip on the throat Of this
country and it is reasonably probable
that they have demanded of the old
party manipulators this further dis
tinguished recognition ola member
of their race. Nothing has been
said since THE CAUCAsIAN's predic-
ton about Morton as a Presidential
possibility until this week, when
the announcement comes with a
flourish of trumpets and blast OF
power that Morton will be a canli.

Morton is worth about twenty
million dollars and with the Rosth

AS time goes on and the handwrit-
ing of fate and destiny appears more
clearly on the wall, the impotent spite
and desperate rage of the Democratic
press appears to increase. These mis-
erable political pimps are now trying
to make it appear that Butler, Strowd
ShufOrd, Skinner and company will be
responsible if the present Congress
fails to pass free silver coinage law.
These gentlemen have more than once
declared to the people that such law
might not be expected from neither a
Democrat nor Republican Congress

This gigantic combination has an
utter contempt for Congress. 1t
seems that these roads are so ac-

the great law making power of this

they command it to do. Their gen.
eral opinion is shown by what the

HAS THE PROSPERITY WAVE STRUCK!

We recently gave some figures to
show that the assessed valuation of
taxable property in Wake county
was y quarter of a million dollars
less than the assessment of 1893.
