ing news that see weekly in the CAU-
cAsIAN.
A friend remarked to me the other
day-he was not q prominent Democrat
nor one Of any kind either-that the
CAUcAsIAE was the Aaron-and Sena-
tor Butler and his co-laborers were
the Moses, leading US out Of the Demo-
cratic wilderness OF poverty and dis
tress in North Carolina. l say lead
on we will follow il we see nothing
any bigger nor more dangerous ahead
than the celebrated (?) history of the
last legislature being carted around by
the Douglass asses. They are getting
beautifully few, and fast passing the
point where they can bray as becometh
a thoroughbred Spanish animal of the
long cared persuasion.
Where is the leader Of the Dems in
North Carolina with his three eyed
Pou-cock feather? We are fearful
down here that something has "drap-
ped' that ne heard, and the sound was
like that Of mighty army OF people
getting on their armOr and coming to
the front to battle in '96. There is
not one of the people asleep in this
section, and when the day comes they
can. truly be counted in and on too.
Although the stuffed prophet" has
ordered his henchmen to raise wages
&C to secure their votes, they-the
voters-know now that it is not perma-
nent, but misleading.
What is to be done now that the
"gold reservoirs below the O,OOO, ,OOO

In the language of our lamented Vance
the man or men that votes to perpetu-
ate such a government. "is a knave
or fool one."
| 1t would almost give an honest re-
former Asiatic cholera to read some OF
these little single-triggered haJ-stockeo

ministration and its Congress cal
truthfully say that it reminds him

standing the efforts of the Chinese and
japanese officials to suppress the news
in regard to cholera, the truth has at
last come to light concerning the
plague.
Japan and North China are fairly
alive with cholera germs. Siberian Of

infected, and from official sources it IL
learned that over 1900 people have
died in Japan from the plague since
its start in Pescad0r1s.

the LARGEST BATTLE GROUND

Converted Into . National Park-Called
The Chickamauga and Chattanooga
Military Park.
At an expense of more than $780,
600 the government has converted
the largest Southern battle ground
into a park called, formally, the
Chickamauga and Chattanooga Mil
itary Park. It has purchased about
5000 acres of land, including the
field of Chickamauga, the approach
es and several detached tracts. 5000
acres or the fighting ground are for
est, and the rest Is mainly made up
of farms sloping up the foothills of
Missionary Ridge. There are now
40 miles of graded roads in the park,
and the underbrush and new timber
have been cleared from the forest,
so there is no difficulty in driving to
all points of interest.
Eight handsome pyramid monu-
ments stand on the spots where the
eight commanders Of brigades were
killed at Chickamauga. Twenty-four
States are represented on the field
in marble. Ohio stands first;
she had more men than any
other State in the battle, and 54
monuments do honor to their
memory. Illinois has thirty-three,
Minnesota FIVE. Indina thirty -seyen,
Michigan eleven, Massachusetts, one,
Kansas three, Missouri five, Wiseon-
sin nine, and United States regulars
nine. There have been authorized
and commissions are preparing to
erect as follows: New York, twenty,
!, Pennsylvania eie hteen, Connecticut
two, and Tennessee four.
The aim has been to retain, as far
as possible, the aspect of the field al
the time of the battle, and one whe
. participated in the fight may easily
recognize the salient points; where
! this battery stood; for example
, where the charge was made. where
: the various regiments held post. The
e whole region Is historic; for within {

The wheat crop in the United states
In the same year was 4oo,OVo,ooV
bushels, which was sold at an average
Oh nifty cents per bushel.
Suppose for some reason but one
half of this crop of wheat had been pro-
duced, what would have been the prac-
teal result? The farmer, or the holuers
of that wheat, would have received II
per bushel, or
DOUBLE WHAT HE DID RECEIVE.
The reason is apparent-the scarcity
.or contraction) of the wheat crop.
Who are the beneficiaries of this con-
traction? The holders Of wheat, OF
course.
Now let us apply the same reasoning

money from the circulation OF the
United states, and you contract the
money or currency more than one

itself, and it desires to avoid the pit
