The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-08

We hasten to acknowledge the
very high compliment paid us by
the Sanford "Distress, err beg par
don-Depress; no, er'-er-yes, now
we have it, Express. 1t expresses
the opinion that we are mean and
vicious. Well, it is pretty tough to
tell such rock ribbed truth on q fell
lows gang as leaves him nothing to
do but spitefully spit at it. Thank
you.

Here is another plain statement
that the court was not dealing with
a case Of fraud, but the Justice even
then does not hesitate to refer to
1.-THE base, the wretched creatures
who would commit such destestable
piece Of meaness." But he, like the
Chief Justice, keeps in view the par

The Democratic papers are ex-
pending a tremendous amount of
energy in trying to fix up q ticket
for the "Fusionists." We have
made the remark before, but it may
be permissible to observe the remark
a second time that while the kind
solicitude of these papers is duly
appreciated, it is quite probable that
this is matter which the "Fusion-
lists" will attend to for themselves at
the proper time.

HARMONY VS.. PRINCIPLE.

An interesting feature of our
"Letters From The People" this
week is the desperate plea of man
named Stevenson for ''harmony" in
the Democratic party, even if prin-
ciple, honesty and common decency
should have to be discarded to get it.
He cites some precedents in his party
for such course. He tells that
when the whole Democratic party
was bowling for tariff reform the
party was big enough to hold a nan
like Sam Randall, who was a high
protectionist. Huh! Mr.. Steven
son doesn't seen to know that Just
such precedents as this and the ef-
fort to make some more just like it
is what has broken the Democratic
party all to smash, and will bury it
beyond resurrection in 1896. He
appears to be silly enough to think
that the people are not thinking;
and he seems to be one of these fell
lows who think the people never
wake up.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-08

By the way, why does such man
as this think people will listen seri-
ously to what he says! If he is the
best 'tadviser" the Democrats have
in 1redell county, they had better 20
out of business. Perhaps he has
forgotten that q man in that county
named J. NJ. Shook, Populist,
openly charges him (Stevenson) with
having tried to hire him (Shook) to
run as an independent candidate
last year, with hope Of splitting
the Populist forces and thereby run-
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-08

But this has nothing to do with
the matter in question. We say
again, the News and Observer ''has
thrown away prudence and apollo
gies, has defed the power of the
court, and must have done so with
full knowledge of possible results. !"
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-08

Col. D. S. Troy, prominent law
yer of Montgomery, Ala !, and a life
long Democrat has declared that he
will no longer affiliate with q party
that has deserted its principles. He
says that the only hope for free sill
yer and financial reform in the nation
and the only hope for good local
government in Alabama is through
the Peoples Party.

PUTTING PRINCIPLE ABOVE PARTY,
In Kentucky the best men of the
State are coming over to the Peo-
pies Party. In the Christian coun-
ty convention recently held, Winton
Henry, a prominent farmer, and,
until now, member of the Demo-
cratic county committee was pres
emit and in a short speech stated his
intention of afiliating with the
Peoples party. He said that he
had always been a Democrat; still
believed in the principles of Jeffer-
son and of jackson, but those prin-
ciples were no longer advocated by
the Democratic party, hence he
joined the Peoples party which
alone held sacred the principles in
which he believed!

tieular point with which the court
has to deal-that Of Power and not
Of Fraud, and the decision Of the
court was rendered accordingly.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-08

Comment cannot add clearness to
this utterance Of the Chief Justice.
He plainly says that a question of
fraud was not before the court. Had
there been the court would have laid
hands on it. He suggests further
that if the proper authorities. would
take up the matter the fraud could
be unearthed. This power now lies
with Democratic administration
and it is not being exercised.

The "Purity Kiss" case was continued
in the United States Court yesterday. In
the PRESS report of the proceedings of
the day before, an error was made in the
statement that the argument for the de-
PENDANT was made by Judge Symonds.
The argument was made by David w.
Snow, Esq, Judge Symonds' partner
Mr. Snow continued his argument for
two hours yesterday forenoon. Mr..
Browne. made the argument for the plain
tiff and Judge Symonds the concluding
argu ment for the defendant.
Yesterday was occupied in the conten-
ton as to whether the combination of the
molasses candy, the waxed paper and the
red ink statement upon it constituted a
legal trademark or copyright for Hill
dreth's "Velvet" candy.
Mr.. Browne contended that it did. and
laid much stress upon the use of the red
ink as rendering it something special
and distinctive, and therefore in the
nature of a trademark. Judge Symonds
con tended to the contrary.
Many cases were cited, and much tes-
timony reviewed. The arguments were
finished yesterday, aid Judge Webb
reserved his opinion.

is SHE INSANE?
A Woman and Babe Seen Under Peculiar
circumstances at Pride's Corner.

During the Monday night storm of
mixed rain, snow and sleet, Mr.. Winfield
Lawrence, who W as walking home from
Pride's Corner was surprised to see a
woman walking in the storm In the road
before him, who ran into piece OF woods
near by. When he got home he told his
brother about the matter and spoke of the
strangeness of the woman taking to the
woods. So the next morning the brother
and Mr.. Oliver Leighton tracked the
woman through the woods to where she
had come out on the Bridgton road, a
distance OF about five miles, and there
they lost the trail. They also picked up
q woman's unmarked handkerchief and q
baby's hood. They also found her tracks
around the Bosworth house which has
been unoccupied since summer, and can
of condensed milk, some safety pins and
q baby's garment on the snow by the
back door. That some night Mr.. and
Mrs. John Kimpton, who lives ON the
same road, heard tapping on the
window, and the wall of child and
found tracks corresponding to the ones
spoken of about the house. The probable
ity is that some poor woman, left with
babe to support, and without means, has
temporarily if not permanently, lost her
mind, and is wandering about, exposed
to the elements at the most trying season
of the year.
