The appointment of Count William
Bismarck, second son of the ex-chan-
cellor, as civil governor OF East Prus-
sia, IN succession to Won Stolberg-
Wernlgerode, came as a surprise to
the political world. Count William is
well acquainted with Koenigsborg, the
seat of the government of East Prus-
STA, as he was prepared there for the
service of the state by the chief of
the colonial department. AS student,
Count William had much the same
merry time as his father, and was
nearly killed in a duel at Bonnie.
When the great chancellor fell into
disgrace, Count William had the tact

Trusts and Their Work,

There are many of these trusts in
the country, and the amount of their
capital is fabulous. The cattle trust
has a capital stock of $4,000, 900;
the Salt tlust, $2O,OOO,OOO; the
Whisky trust, $35,0OO,OOO; the Cot
ton Oil trust, $40. 200, 900; the Lead
trust, $45 100000; the Sugar trust,
SIS. 200, 900; the Tobacco trust, $780,
600, 900; and the Stand Oil trust has
one man among its organizers who
is said to receive as his annual divi.
dend, $4,000, 900. 1t is estimat-
ed that the combined CAPT
tai of all the trusts in the
United States amounts to more
than one billion dollars. These
enormous aggregations of wealth
exert immense power for evil, and
are manifestly antagonistic to the
general welfare. They increase
price on the necessaries of life. They
reduce the wages of the working
man. They seek to control produc-
ton. They lessen the demand for
labor. They throttle competition
in trade and manufacture. They
monopolize the wealth of the land.
They bride aud corrupt our legisla-
tive bodies. They largely dominate
both the Democratic and Republican
parties.

"WHY THE FREE AND UNLIMITED
COINAGE OF SILVER CANNOT BE SE-
CURED THROUGH THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY"

1.-THE CONFUSION OF POLITICS.. ,,

II ii CONFUSION OF POLITICS.
The New York World, in a recent
editorial, comments as follows on the
condition of the Democratic party
and politics generally. What it ad-
mits is very significant:
1T was wise forethought in the trainers
of the Constitution which declared that no
State should coin money. 1t is certainly a
significant coincidence that this prohibition
occurs IN the same section of the first article
with the prohibition against granting let
tiers Of marque and reprisal. Were it not
for this constitutional restriction there is
grave reason to apprehend that various
states of the Union would be coming differ
ent kinds OF money and issuing letters of
mar9ue and reprisal against each other.
with nothing but Od-year local elections
to be held this year, and with no power IN
| any State government to deal with the cur
| rency, we would naturally expect the State
| conventions to avoid the currency question,
| or at least to have as little to do with it as
possible. But on the Democratic side. IN
fortunately, the conventions not only make
tae currency question State issue. but thew
plant the banner of Democracy on all sides
OF the question. A painful result of this
rashness is that citizen of Iowa, Ohio or
New York, who might be good Democrat
at home, would be thrown out of the party
in Missouri, Mississippi or Nebraska on
the other hand, there is reason to believe
that properly attested Democratic creden-
tials from Missouri or Nebraska would not

sible to derive any consolation from the
Kentucky compromise of nominating q

is that while one-half of the Democrats of
Kentucky evince desire to ''spit upon the
platform" the other half yearn to expecto.

cratic conventions this is an off year in

taken AT once To the large pavilion NJ

DIR. Thompson spoke hrst. He made
one Of the most thoughtful and schol-
arly speeches this writer has ever
heard. He showed that liberty was
safe when the individual man was
developed and was the most independ-
ent. De said that the tendency to-day
was to crush out the individual as y
factor in government and civilization
He said the Alliance was organized Il
check this tendency and to preserve

gant.and sumptuOus dinner was spread

ser for the Orphanage, and collection

addition, brought something for the

was the duty of the government no,
only to make enough dollars, but t.
make every one fun legal tender
Token money is made for speculat Ors
1t is the money that measures price:

the dangerous power in the hands OF

no relief of the people could come Il

Now friends, if we are worth your

We will send The CAUCASIAN
three months, in clubs of ten

this offer is not made for profit. 1t
is made for the purpose of securing

DIR. THOMPSON AND THE CHURCH,

The way the devil, through the
partisan press, has rushed to the de
Tense of the Church of late, may
indicate that the Church has been
making some rather bad alliances.
Whenever the devil does take no
ton to be virtuous, he out-Herod's
Herod. A real, honest, Christian
saint can't hold him light at all.
Instead of spreading the mantle of
Christian charity over an offender,
nothing but his blood or his char
acter will expiate his offerse.
Nothing DR.. Thompson said or
could say about the Church would
put it in such bad light as the fact
(f it be facD that it needs the de-
fense of a corrupt, servile and dis
honest partisan press.
The Doctor probably meant moth
ing more thansthat the Church was
not doing its full duty in respect
to some of the gravest problems that
now confront the State and nation.
If the Church is not doing its full
duty land the Doctor meant his rather
Understanding words as nothing but
rebuke, then the rebuke of such a
candid friend is better than the
kisses of such uncandid enemies as
some Democratic editors.
If the Church had been doing its
full duty in denouncing the machine
politics, the party tyranny and the
fraudulent elections mere in North
Carolina, these same partisan papers
that have been so lately she'd
ding crockadile tears over DR.. Thomp-
pson's ungraceful (D expressions
would hail with delight any abuse
and calumny against the Church.
OF course everybody understands
that it is not out of any friendship
for religion that some Democratic
newspapers assail DR.. Thompson. If
they really intended to mend their
ways, they would begin by con-
Tossing their own sins, and having
charity for other people; then thew
would gradually quit stealing votes,
and fnally.they would cease to uphold
an organization which lives by trad
ing in the virtues of men who arellonp
since dead. The Church has plenty
of real, sincere friends to point out
the errors or tone down the too
harsh utterances OF any of ITS
critics, and The CAUCASIAN believes
that it has not sunk so low as to need
any entangling alliance s with the
corrupt and demagogic press, which
is seeking to make political capital
out of all things sacred and profane.

A proposition was then made to
to have the contest over again, and
was agreed to. In the meantime
law was passed requiring voters to
show receipts for their taxes before
they could be allowed to register.
But even this law appears to be Of
no effect in checking Democratic

The fraud in Richmond county in
the previous election was of such
gigantic proportions as to open the

sides have worked hard to secure a
full registration, il appears that only
7,4O0 voters have been registered.
This is the same county which cast a
