HON. WALTER r. HENkY,

The CAUCASIAN presents this
week q documeht'which, if indics-
tions signify anything, is being look
ed for with intense interest by peo-
pie all over the State. 1t is Hon. w.
r. Henry's "Fsrewell Letter" to the
Democratic party.
It was announced q week ago that
Mr.. Henry would take this step, and
already . number of Democratic
newspapers have passed judgment
on bis action. Already they have
announced the causes and given their
reasons for his course. It may be
safely asserted that these same pa
pers will never aid in giving pub
hcity to his'ressons for renouncing
the Democratic party.
Any paper that can Justly assume
the qualities Of dignity and decency,
to say nothing of courtesy, would
have awaited the publication Of Mr..
Hsnry's reasons for renouncing his
former party afiiliation, especially
after it had been publicly announced
that such reasons would be given,

It il noticeable that where the
Peoples Party 10 the strongest,
the old parties lean strongest for 6l-
yer. When they don't fear the
Peoples Party and think they can
fool the people they get boldly into
the Cleveland-Sherman gold bond
wagon. Moral: The old parties
and the politicians will not stand
by the people unless they are fright
ened into it, and those who have to be
frightened into doing right can not be
trusted. The only way you can re:
form the old parties is to join the
Peoples Party.

pluto organs have been trying to
boost up things by talking of "good

condition was in sight. Then a
new tack was tried and an old,
cheeky, gold bug sinner wrote an
article in a prominent magazine on
"The Value of Hard Times"
When it became apparent that the
"hard times" policy inaugurated by
the gold bugs was overwhelmingly
repudiated by the people, then the
gold bugs, with the brazen effront-
cry of Old Nick, stepped right to
the front and declared that policy
to be good thing for the people and
that the gold bugs deserved credit
for it.
Well, it is good thing. It has
awakened the people as they were
never awakened before, and they are
beginning to understand the mo9us
operandi of this "hard times" policy.
But for the gold bugs to claim credit
for q purpose of awakening the peo-
ple-welll words just can't do the
business. 1t is something like the
credit claimed by the fly when he
said to the ox-"we are blowing

THAT RAILROAD LEASE.

The people and press Of the State
unite, almost unanimously, in rolling
up q great wave of condemnation of
the directors of the North Carolina
Railroad for making that secret,
ninety-nine year deal with the South
ern Railway company. The thun-
derous disapproval is ringing from
the mountains to the sea. Cleveland's
thirty year bond deal appears venal
to North Carolinians in comparison
with the ninety-n,ne year deal made
by men to whom the management
of large State interests were intrust-
ed. Compared with other transac-
tons of similar character, this
ninety-nine year affair is beginning
to look like most miserable bar
gain. But ''secret deals" and "mis-
cradle bargains" are fast becoming
the shibboleths of Democratic man
agement, both State and National.
We do not know whether the people
have right to expect anything
much better from such management
or not.

More than one paper and more
than one citizen has expressed a
pungent belief in connection with
this matter. That belief is to the
effect that the State Democratic ad-
ministration, as well as the railway
corporations, anticipate that great
political changes will take place
next year, and that the people in
stead of "rings" will take charge of
public affairs. Under this belief
the corporation besought its ally, the
State Democratic administration, to
make the deal quickly, lest the new
management come in when the deal
could never be made. The ally list
ened to the corporation, and not only
made the deal but made it secretly.
None but the directors and the
Southern Railway knew what was
to be done. None knew the provis-
Ions of the lease until the deal was
contaminated. Let the people pass
