DEBS HEARD FROM.
He Says the Union is Spreading Rapidly In
the East.


the East.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. S.-Presi-
dent Debs, of the American Railway
Union, has issued circular to the local
unions in regard to the work of secret
organization, which has been found ne
cessary in many localities, because of
the disfavOr in which the Union is held
by railroad officials. The circular ex-
plains the methods to be pursued in
this work and concludes as follows:
81 am especially pleased to inform
our Union that the order is spreading
rapidly through all the eastern States:
Next year, in all probability, special
convention will be held, when such
changes in the organic law as to the
general policy of the order will be
made as may be required to adapt the
order to the ever-mOving tide Of events.
"Some of our enemies were foolish
enough to believe, when we were de-
| feated last summer and sent to jail, that
the career of the American Railway
Union was ended. As d matter of fact
it has just begun"

RELIeIoH OF THE GOVERNORS.
An Interesting Canvass Among tho State

An Interesting Canvass Among tho State
Executives.
OF the State Governors in the Amer
ican Union, thirty-nine are avOwed be-
lievers in religion, twenty-nine are
professed christians, most of them are
regular attendants at worship, and a
vast majority are contributors to the
expense of religious work. A careful
canvas of the subject made by the Chi
cago Times-Herald disclOses these
facts: Responses were obtained from
forty three of the State Governors and
three of the Territorial executives.
OF the State Governors, one, Mr.. Cul-
berson, of Texas, declined to define bis
sentiments, and no one would speak
for him, and another, Governor Evans
of South Carolina failed to respond
Among them there are ten Presbyter-
ians, five Congregationalists, five Epis-
copallans, four Methodists, three Uni.
tarians, one Baptist, one Christian, and
sixteen uncOnnected with church or
ganizations. OF these sixteen Cover.
nors unattached to denominational or.
CARNATIONS twelve attend religious
services regularly or intermittently
Ten of them have denominatiOnal pref
erences. OF those who declare demon
national preferences three are Meth
odist, three Presbyterians, one Con
gregatiOnalist, one EpiscOpalian, ant
one Baptist.
The most conspicuous of the Meth
odist Governors are William Mckinley
of Ohio, and Daniel Il. Hastings, o
Pennsylvania, and, curiously enough
both are Presidential candidates
Other Governors who attend tina
Church are Stone of Mississippi
Cleaves of Maine, Clarke of Arkan
sas, Richards of Montana, and Eos
ter of Louisiana. The Presbyterial
fold embraces Governors Matthews Q

For The Caucasian
WINSTON, N. c., Oct. II, '95.-Al-
low me to say that The CAUCASIAN
is and has been of inestimable value
to me-so much so that it has
thoroughly converted me to the Pop
ulistic faith. 1t has done great good
in this community by way of edu-
eating the people and opening their
eyes along political lines.
There are great many of the bet
ter thinking element Of my race who
have changed their political creed
by reading the paper, and would be-
come subscribers, but the want of
money will not allow them yet
awhile.
We have been a Republican all
of our life, but we can never again
trust either of the old parties.
Your paper always reaches me on
time. Have not had a single failure

Goldbuggery the Same as Democracy.
For The Caucasian.
COVE SPRING, HEREFORD COUNTY, F.,
N. c., Oct. 1O.-The County Alliance
met at Cove Spring to-day, under
the auspices of silver picnic. Hon.
Harry Skinner was invited, and ad-
dressed the large concourse of peo-
pie that had assembled. The ad-
dress was able, logical, practical and
eloquent, as we'll as effective.
The speech that Mr.. Kinner made
to-day, if delivered throughout the
State, would rout the goldbugs from
the State.
Under the new election law we
expect goldbuggery to be turned
down at the next election by 1000
majority in this county. By gold
buggery we mean Democracy.

OUR esteemed Senator GOodykoontz
is laboring under serious misappre-
hension when he imagines that the
REGISTER has any desire to do him an
injury. The suggestion that we COM
ment upon his official conduct and po-
litical utterances for the purpose of
damaging him presupposes personal
motive-that some advantage might
result to us through the downfall of
his politicul fortunes. If the Senator
entertains any idea of this character it
would be better for him to free him
self from it at once, for we assure him
that that he is mistaken. The Sena-
tor is very agreeable gentleman, So
cially. We certainly could have no
motive to do him an injury on account
of any personal dislike for him, for we
have no such feeling. Having no po-
litical ambition, we certainly could de-
rive no benefit from his political mis-
fortunes. Our quarrel with him is one
of principle. After careful analysis
OF his political course, we have reach
ed the conclusion that he regards ques-
tions of right and wrong as having
no more to do with politics than the
single rule of three has to do with
foreordinatiou- to him politics
have no moral side-that ordinary, old
fashioned fair dealing has no place
in the caucus or convention, and that
Sunday School morality is wasted in
the halls of legislation. Mr.. Goody-
koontz very likely considers that there
is nothing stronger in a party than
the party organization-the machine.
His acts demonstrate that he has
reached the conclusion that for him it
is better politics to trust to the long
arm of the railroads than the short
memory of his constituents. He re-
CARDS it as safer to depend upon the
lobby than TO trust the people who
elected him. He as Senator voted
against an effective fellCw-servant bill,
solely because of his conscience. When
member of the lower house, he voted
against the enactment of effective laws
enforcing the provisions of the consti.
tuition of the State in regard to rail.
roads. because of his corns. OF course,
Mr.. Goodykoontz is hand and glove
with the Francis-Maffit combination.
He is of that class of politics, and it il
this element that is leading the party
in this State to hopeless defeat an6
and ruin. The REGISTER has no ak tt

principles, and intends to continu,
their advocacy. Our quarrel will
