"A MASTERLY SPEECH"
A Kentucky View of Senator Butler And
His Speech.

His Speech.
The Kentucky Populist, the lead
ing Populist paper in Kentucky, in
its report Of the recent Peoples Party
State convention says:
'ssBNAToR BUTLER's SPEECH.
The delegates reassembled at
Library Hall at eight o'clock p. m.
to lis en- to Senator Marion Butler,
of North Carolina.
He delivered mastery speech,
more directly aimed at the Populist
than others. He counseled conser-
vative action, and plead for a union
of all forces. He Is certainly mas
ter Of irony and sarcasm, and de-
lighted his hearers with the neat
manner in which he lifted the hide
off the Louisville papers. He said
that large cities were the hot beds OF
gold bugs and anarchists. He alse
paid his respects to Wat Hardin, te
xhom he invaribly referred as "Pat'
Hardin, each time begging the Irish
mans pardon. Senator Butler saic
he had In mind two great Kentucki
ans-Henry Clay, the mill-boy o1
the Slashes, who would rather have
heen right than to have been Presi
dent; and another Kentuckiap, Mr.
Hardin, who FROM his recent actions
had rather be Governor than be right
Senator Butler was a conspicuou
| figure at our convention. The Popu
lists feel proud of the young Nortl
Carolinian, who planned such
mastery fight that he took his Stat
away from the Democratic party be
fore the enemy had dreamed o.
) danger. The whole nation expect
to hear from Senator Butler Whe,
Congress meets. He is made of tn
kind of metal that heroes are mad

that the currency question had become

the masses To form their new party aud

ton: that Cleveland had acted n a
faithless overseer To the peoples farm
that party labels should be wiped out
that he was Populist because he was
a Democrat. Then he exclaimed dra-
matically: would To God We could

was reproduction of his speech AT the
silver convention at Memphis. with
very little new added. He said that

If the farmers of Texas have any get
up and fight about them, they will all
throw their coats when they hear that
the president of the Farmers Alliance
of the State is being rotten egged by
democratic hirelings. Can the demo-
cratic leaders of Texas afford to thus
insult the farmers of the state? If
they think they can, they should keep
on throwing their stale argument at
the president of the Alliance and then
await the outcome-Ex.

Kentucky, Oh? Kentucky.


Kentucky elects a governor next
November. At no time in the his
tory of that state did she ever elect .
Republican governor or send Re-
publican to the electoral college. In
1892 she gave Cleveland 10000 ma
jority. Now, is there any Democrat
in Santa Barbara with the courage
of his convictions, who has ten dol
lars also, possessed of sufficient cour-
age to say that Kentucky will not
elect q Republican governor this
time? IF so we think we can show
him how to verify the old proverb
that bewails the early parting of the
fool and his money.

The statement published by the
News and Observer was so mislead-
ing and created such an erroneous
impression that we have decided to
answer the above letter in the COL
umns Of the CAUCASIAN,
The simple fact is, the Supreme.
court has not eliminated" BLACK
stone from the law course, but it
expressly requires Ewell's Edition of
Blackstone to be studied. No State
nor law school as far as We know re-
quires Blackstone's Commentaries
just as he published it to be studied,
but they all require some noted law
yer's edition of Blackstone to be
studied. Some States prescribe Chit
tvs edition, some Sharwood's EDITION,
some Ewell's edition etc. Ewells
edition Of Blackstone (Which has
heen adopted by our Supreme court)
contains all the essential points of
the original text and so much of the
history of the laws as is necessary to
give the student an intelligent un
derstanding of the evolution and
growth of our present system Of
jurisprudence.
1t is not only very convenient for
the student, but also for the Profess
sor Of law, who is of course expected
to supplement it Gas they do in teach
ing any other edition) by lectures
connecting the old law with the new,
and illustrating its principles by
leading cas- s decided by the Supreme
court o. this State and other juris-
dictions.
If we remember correctly the
News and Observer, in it's article, re-
ferred to the Statute qaeta Emptores
and Statute de dOnis (3rd and 2nd
Westminster as ''immaterial timber
and said that they were no longer
considered in the study of the law.
This is entirely wrong. In the first
place these two statutes are very
important to every student who
wants to know the science of the law
They mark two great fundamental
changes in reference to the holding
Of real property-while the statutes
are obsolete, yet every good lawyer
should be familiar with this import.
ant history of the developm ent Of the
law. In the second place the effect
of these statutes is discussed and
properly so in Ewell's edition OF
Blackstone.
| We are informed by prominent
members of the legal profession that
a large part of the principles of the
law as laid down by Blackstone il
still law and that all of the remain
der of the work is very valuable and
instructive as history, in short there
is very little Of it obsolete.
To try to study law, without
studying some reliable edition Of
Blackstone would be like "the play
of Hamlet with Hamlet left Out"
The article in the News and Oh
server would and to some extent has
created the impression that the stan
dard of the legal profession has beer
lowered in North Carolina. 1t il
due the State as we'll as our Suprem,

IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS

Will Be offered in the Fifty-Fourth Con-
gress. One the Monroe Doctrine, An
other Providing for the Annexation of
Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-From hints
thrown out by the leaders of both po-
litical parties strong probabilities seem
to exist that two important joint reso-
lutions will be offered Immediately af-
ter the assembly of the Fifty-fourth
congress. The first will be an affirma-
tion of the principles embodied in the
Monroe doctrine, expressing in plain
and vigorous language the sympathy
of the American people with the gov
ernment of Venezuela in its boundary
dispute with Great Britain. The second
joint resolution, which is being prepared
with much care, provided for.the annex.
alton of the Hawaiian islands to the
United States under territorial form
of government The case of Texas is
referred to as furnishing precedent
for Hawaii 1t is not the purpose of
the Hawaiian people to ask for ad-
mission as a sovereign state. They
will be satisfied. it is said, to remain
under a territorial form of govern
ment, as is the case at present in Okla
homa, Arizona and New Mexico. What
they want is protection against the
aggressions of other countries and that
sense of security and satisfaction which
would result from becoming part of
the great North American republic.
Annexation would also, it is claimed,
add greatly to their material prosper
ity and aid largely in the development
of the islands. The white element in
Hawaii is principally American, and
the administration of affairs is wholly
in the hands of men of American birth.
The remaining whites who are not
Americans favor annexation as heart
lily, with few exceptions, as those who
are held to this country by the ties of
birth and parentage.

Has Decided Views Concerning the Alaska

Has Decided Views Concerning the Alaska
boundary Dispute.
SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 16.-In an in.
terview, Senator Watson c. Squires, OF
the senate committee on coast de-
fenses was asked: "Do you anticipate
trouble or international complica.
tions?"
"Well, our people should at least be
vigilant Some things have been said
indicative of disposition on the part
of Canada to shift the boundary line
over onto our soil II there is any posi-.
BILE pretext for doing So"
''In what light do you regard the
action of the British government, sem
ator, in stationing police along the
boundary and disputed territory
II do not know what friendly object
England can have in sending an armed
body of men there at this particular
time. Both nations, as / understand
the matter, are engaged in a friendly
effort to definitely locate the interna-
tional boundary line. If the present
unfavorable developments continue l
shall certainly call the attention of
congress to this matter at an early
date and in no uncertain tones"
After complimenting Gen. Miles on
his recent report on the subject of
coast defenses Washington's senior
senator said: "This country must
wake up Immediately to the knowl-
edge of it's defenseless condition. Sew
eral years ago the senate committee on
coast defenses recommended to the
senate the establishment of a cannon
factory on the Pacific coast report
ed bill from the committee and sup
ported it in an earnest speech on that
subject Very few people are aware
of the fact that the old Notifications
and old cannon that are mounted on
our seacoast are absolutely useless
against modern ships of war.
''They are about as ineffective as a
pistol would be against Gatling guns.
So far as am aware there is now only
one completed modern fortifcation in
the United States supplied with
modern guns of heavy caliber, and this
is at Sandy Hook. This consti-
tutes the entire modern land de.
fense of the great city of New York.
1t is true. however. that works of this
kind have been commenced at Boston
and San Francisco The appropri-
ations of congress have been
absolutely inadequate for the purpose
of protecting the seacoast cities from
destruction by a foreign enemy. There
are twenty-eight of the principal sea-
coast cities lin the United States re-
quiring guns and Notifications for de-
fense against possible outside foes. 1t
is, therefore, very difficult for our gov
ernment to take strong stand in an
international diplomacy when it is
conscious of such utter weakness to
withstand an attack"

tel.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 1a-A. L. Robbins,
60, of Winchester, O., was found un'
conscious in his room at the Gait house
Saturday morning, almost asphy yxiated
from escaping gas. From letters found
on him it was learned he is tobacco
dealer and had some tobacco at the
Globe warehouse one month ago. He
has been stopping at the Gait house
since Thursday, and was warned
against blowing out the gas, having
done this on retiring Thursday night.
He remained about the hotel and In
his room all day Friday, and ap-
peared to be despondent He retired
early Friday evening. Saturday
morning the hotel attaches noticed
an odor of gas in the halls They 10.
Gated it, and Manager Marsh broke
open window in Robbins room.
He found Robbins lying across the bed
with his street clothes on and uncon.
conscious. The gas was escaping from
burner near the bed.
A physician was called, but it was
found impossible to resuscitate Rob.
bins, and he was removed to the hos
pital.
He is in a serious condition, and 1t is
feared he can not recover.
The police made an investigation
and believe that the case is one of at.
tempted suicide, but can assign no
motive for such an act.

inent citizen, and ran for sheriff OF
