Life az In WankeganA

The stnong wind has kept us from
finishing husking OUR corn. If we are
to be troubled this way much longer
will have to say nothing and saw wood
to keep from stagnating.
Ice chest thieves who used to be
numerous in Lake Forest and High
land Park have appeared here. One
family living Oh Genesee street lost
their last Sundays dinner from the
refrigerator on the back porch.
The editor of this paper wishes it to
be known that the only shock" he
experienced on Thursday was while at
the court house. County Clerk Hendee,
without amy warning whatever, gave
him check for $27.25- and he was
satisfied even if he did fail to feel the
earthquake that others experienced
about thai time. He is anXiOusly
awaiting another shock.

Washington's Mothers Will.

There are. some people who are al
WAYS crying for the "leeks and on
ions'' and the " flesh pots" of Egypt.
They SEEM to think chat people are not
as honest as they used to be, that
preachers are not so great and that the
age Of great statesmen has gone by.
They are always pointing backward
and lamenting that the world has
passed the old land marks. They long
to live in the days in which it was not
their fortune to be born.
1t is refreshing, after hearing such
people wall, to let our thoughts run
back to these ola days and recall the
things that were common among the
people then, which, if practiced now,
would subject the person to r1dlcule
and in some cases would put their lives
in jeopardy if they were practiced in
this perverse" generation. Here is
case that will serve to show that the
world is advancing and not retrograd-
ing, as these tiresome croakers would
have us believe.
Mrs. Mary Washington, the mother
of General George Washington, made a
will dated May 20, 1888. This was in
the good old days of Jefferson, Hamil-
ton, Monroe, Adams and great host
of other good men, too, but they did
not live in civilization as high as we
enjoy now. The will of Mrs. Washing
ton begins: :" In the name of God!
Amen" and closes the introduction to
the testament with these highly scrip
tural words. Recommending my soul
| into the hands of my Creator, hoping
for a remission of all my sins through
the merits and meditation of Jesus
Christ. the Savior of mankind, dis

ONE USE OF TIE TELEGRAPH.

We have recently presented some
strong facts showing the necessity
of government ownership of the tel
egraph, and have shown how the
owners of this monopoly use that
great, modern means of communi-
eating intelligence and news to suit
their own interests and how they
can suppress news when it suits them
to do SO. During the past few days
we have had ample evidence to show
that they use the telegraph to mag
Nifty themselves. The daughters OF

THE condition of general trade contin-

There is distinct falling off in the demand
for iron and steel, with perhaps the heav-
lest reaction in quotations in those lines re-

those metals reached its climax. Central
western cities continue to feel the unfavor-
able influences of unseasOnably mild wealth

decreases in quotations for merchandise.
The converse includes an unexpected i'm
provement in wooden goods.
There are 279 business failures reported
throughout the United States this week,
compared with 26O last week, $50 in the

only 2O5 in the corresponding week of 1892

THAT RAILROAD LEASE AGAIN.

The CAUCASIAN earnestly COM
mends to its readers and the general
public the article printed elsewhere
headed THE 80 YEAR r. r. LEASE.
1t will be remembered that on tho
night of August 10th, the present
directors of the North Carolina Rail-
road officially leased that liue to the
Southern Railway Company for a
period of 80 years-a lease which
virtually amounts to a sale.
This action Of the directors met
with almost unanimous condemna-
ton all over the State. The right
of the people to express their opinion
on the matter rests on the fact that
the State owns $2,7OO,O0O of the
road, and any hasty or careless dis
position Of this large interest by
those to whom it was entrusted is q
matter of concern to the State.
The present lease has six years to
run and there was no reasonable
cause for tho hasty action of the d.
rectors. The very best reason that
can be advanced for their course il
about this: 1t was very eviden,
that the administration Of State af.

the Democratic rings and cliques by
the election of 1894. would never

Senator Butler and The Senate,
Washington Post.]

Washington Post
Senator Marion Butler of Mort h Car
DINA, was approached by a Post report
er at the ShOreham last evening. and
asked If the frequently published
| statement that he would help the Re-
publicans organize the next Senate
were true. In reply the Senator said /:
81 am ready to cooperate with the
silver men of both the Republican and
Democratic parties to prevent the gold
men from controlling the organization
of the Senate, and to put the control of
| the important committees in the hands
of the silver men. The six POpulist
Senators stand ready to do the same
thing. One thing is sure; either the
gold men or the silver advocates will
control the next Senate. A majority
of the Senators were elected "a silver

question is now the OvershadOwing is

watched by his constituents and the
whole country on every measure per-
tanning to financial legislation. The
people clearly understand that the
committees control legislation, and
therefore if man is friendly TO silver
his first duty and most important vote
will be to organize the Senate SO as to
put silver men in control of the COM
mittees.
"The gold men of the two old parties
always combine when the gold stand
ard is at stake, as we have lately seen
in Kentucky. They have done it in
the past in the Senate, and will do So
in the future, and unless the silver men
show the same common sense and de-
vOtion to principle by combining in
behalf Of bimetallism, the gold men
will remain in power. In short the
