Reform is spreading. Associate
Justice Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, shows symptoms of
the contagion. In a speech made
before the American Bar Associa-
ton, at Detroit last week; he said
"The truth of it is, brethren, that in
our desire to perfect system Of ad-
ministratiOn, one which shall finally
extract from confused masses of facts
and fiction the absolute and ultimate
varieties, we forget that tardy justice
is often gross injustice"
He also very tersely and truth
fully said:
sit would be blessing to the COM
munity and to the profession as well
if some deluge would engulf half of
those who have a license to practice
law"
He made these utterances when
he was discussing the tardy admin
istration of justice, and was con.
demning the men and methods by
which the execution of the law is
80 often delayed.

1t is almost piteous to see and
hear the doleful whines and appeals
of some Democratic papers to their
partyites to "drop the silver ques-
toni" Well, we do not see why
they shouldn't. They don't know
what to do with it. They are not
responsible for and can take no
credit for its prominence today.
The Peoples Party brought it to
the front and will keep it there.
Democratic partizens may proceed
to drop, but the procession will pro-
coed all the same.

A man on Charlotte street car re-
marked last night that he had just sold
100 bales of cotton at cents pound
Last year, when cotton was selling at
8 cents, the low price was charged to
the decentralization of silver. Silver
is as much demonetized now as it was
last year, isn't it? If so, and if the de-
mOnetization of silver carried the
price down to cents in 1894, how
comes the rize of 80 per cent. in less
than years time? 1t would strike
the average intelligence that some
other cause had been at work-some
inconsequential thing. perhaps, like
the law of supply and demand, for in
stance. "-CharlOtte Observer.
Oh! say, now. Tell US if the
man who sold this cotton was the

cotton to 20 up as soon as all of it

MONOPOLY COLLEGES,

Prof. Bemis, the professor of po-

versity, has been asked to resign be-
cause he refuses to teach the stu
dents that trusts and the gold stand
ard are right. This is the univer-
sity built by Rockefeller and the
Standard Oil Trust. If Prof. Bemis
had been willing to sell his con-
science and political principles for
gold, the public would never have

UNION THROUGH THE PEOPLES

A multiplicity of evidence could
be sddnced to show that the true
method of union of all forces favor
ing free silver is through the Peo-
Piles party. But to minds perverted

simply appears to be counter-parti-
sanism. Ooe or two illustrations
are presented here, however, to show
to the readers of the CAUCAsIAN
that the Peoples party is the only
one to which the people all over the
country are looking with hope:

If the Democratic papers had
known enough of history to have

they would probably not have been
so hasty and rash. But it actually
seems that knowledge is an unknown

sity in journalism.

And now we must respectfully ask

better than to burn their fingers, but
