The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-12-12
A Significant Depsrtu re.

With the departure of another
year when a review is made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with life's problem and
figure for themselves the profit or
loss on the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain
be great, it would not be surprising
if it suddenly dawns upon many that
good health has been greatly i'm
poverished by the low condition of
the blood. 1t is in this state that the

Both Democrats and Republicans are
introducing bills for the free and UNI
limited coinage of gold and silver in
Congress. This is little scheme by
which they have been fOOling the peO-
pie many years. They can put in the
bills all right; but when it comes to
voting, ali! Both parties have been in
full power since 1873. Both have voted
many times on this question and there
is no free coinage yet. See?

The President left Washington last
Thursday on the lighthouse tender
Maple on hunting trip through North
Carolina sounds. With him were DIR.
OReilIy, the Presidents physician;
Commander George F. Wilde, Naval
Secretary of the Lighthouse Board, and
Commander Benjamin p. Lamberton,
in charge of the lighthouse district
comprising the sounds. The vessel
was we'll provisioned, and if the
weather is favorable the President will
probably not return to Washington
before the 18th or 18th of the month.

Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, is evidently
afraid that Mr.. II. B. Reed, of Maine,
who is Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, will get ahead in the race
for the Republican presidential nomi-
nation if he is not watched. Hence
Mr.. Mckinley has established open
headquarters in Washington and has
set squad of men to do some watch
ing. OF course these two gentlemen
warm and lively; but if they will &C
cept tip from the CAUCASIAN, we will
suggest that they spend more time in
watching Levi p. Morton, of New
York, than in watching each other.

DEMOCRATS SURRENDER THE SEN

DEMOCRATS SURRENDER THE SEN
ATE TOTHE REPUBLICANS.
News comes from Washington that
the Democrats in the Senate have
surrendered without making fight
or even taking a vote on the organi-
zation Of the Senate to the Republi-
cans. The six Populist Senators
stood solidly together and refused
to help the Republicans to get con-
troll or to help the Democrats to stay
in. After the silver Senators re-
fused to accept the invitation of
the Populist to reorganize the SEN
ate on silver lines, the Democratic
Senators got stampeded and gave up
the organization without even max
ing fight. They know that when
a vote is taken that the Populists
will put up their candidates and vote
solldly for them, and that if the gold
men get control that the RESPONSE
bility will rest at the doors of those
so-called silver men who refused
to cooperate with the Populists to
defeat the goldites

There are indications that there are
other matters besides the financial
question on which the esteemed editor
of the Charlotte Observer is a long
ways behind. For instance he says ):
"The Old Furnace correspondent of
the GastOnia Gazette writes it of a man
63 years old, in his neighborhOOd. who
a few days ago bought a blue-bIack
spelling book for his own use. He has
started right; the only matter for re-
greet is that he has started his educa-
ton so late" School teachers are
right smart folks, and they will laugh
at Editor Caldwell if they happen to
see this opinion of his.
And Mr.. Hoke Smith has made that
gold bug speech before the Georgia
Legislature. He told them what Car
Isle told him to say-Carlisle having
been previously told by Cleveland
that there was "only fifty cents worth
Of silver in dollar" What trench
dous brain it requires to get up such q
strong argumenG-sucha an original and
overpowering assertion against silver.
And in the same speech Hickey said he
wished it distinctly understood that
the $500, 100000 of silver coined since
1873 is legal tender for all debts, for any
claim, made SO by an act of Congress.
Whoop! Great is Hockey and the gold
bugs.

The Fifty>fourth Congress began its
session with many new faces IN the
Senate.
In the House of Representatives the
changes were still more marked. One
of the features which provoked COM
ment from the galleries Was the youth
full appearance Of many OF the new
members. Several States have sent as
Representatives men who are still in
their tweEties. Probably two score of
others are under forty. In point Of age,
the present House Is the youngest
known To the history OF American leg
islation.
Mr.. Lindon, Of Michigan, had the
honor Of introducing the first dill in
the Fifty fourth Congress. The meas
ure provides for re-classitication OF
psstal officers. Under il they are di-
vided into ten classes. Those OF the
first class are to receive salary of
$500 per year, from which sum their
salaries are graded up 10 81 500 per an
nun for the tenth grade. Promotions

THE roPuLlsT SENATORS.

The Populists are making
straight, consistent and commenda-
BILE record in the Senate and their
course is creating attention and IA
vorable comment. Their action in
deciding to stand together in the re-
organization Of the Senate, while il
may not prevent q speedy test vote,
may delay the changes which Re-
publicans are anxious to effect. SEN
ators PETER. Allen, Kyle and Butler,
ranked as straight Populists,. and
also Senators Jones and Stewart, Of
Nevada, upon whom some Of the he
publicaus have counted for assistance
in . case of an effort to reorgAnize,
were all present at the conference.
There was no dissent on the part of
any one against a proposition to
stand together on the question Of
organization and to give no sup
port to either Of the old parties in
the election Of officers of the State
or in other party matters. They
also decided to dominate their OWL
candidates for the various Offices in
case the other parties place candi.
dates in the field. Selections will be
deferred until action is made neces
sary by the Republicans and Demo
Gratis. In case the Republicans in
itiate a movement in this direction
the Populists will place full tickle
in the field, and they agreed tina
with this step once taken they would
stand by their candidates solidly II
the end.
The Republicans now lack three
of majority, and will lack one at
ter tue Utah Senators come in.

We have here presented some ideas
which occur to us in connection with
the message-one that has been
more universally condemned than
any heretofore written. Its cringing
tone to foreigners in matters fnan-
cial-its utter want Of American
character-its lack of the elements
of broad statesmanship-its plea for
the money power-the absolute alb
sence of any suggestion for the good
Of t% peop7e-its failure to tell that
the country is running heavily in
debt under the present admiaistra-
tion-its failure to tell of the i'm
mense profits made by the bond syn

We arn unable to reconcile the
Presidents recommendation for re-
firing the creenbacks with his recon-
mendation for issuing more bonds.
A reason given for retiring the
green backs is that they can be used
TO depIets the gold reserre at any
time. But it has not been long since
a considerable amount of bonds
were redec med before they expired,
and q premium paid for them by the
government. The arowsd purpose of
the procedure was to redeem the
bonds with currency and thus put
more money into circulation; but
the reol purpose wss TO pave the
way for issuing bonds which would
run longer than those redeemed,
because long term bonds offer better
opportunities for financial msnip-
u,ation. In view Of this fact
we feel justified in asserting that
such men as now control our finan-

By section nine Of this act It is
provided:
THAT registrars shall be provided with
one registration book for each precinct, and

such precinct, and still residing therein,
without requiring such electors to be regis

any existing precinct at the election of one

then there shall be, in such new precinct a

HIDDEN TREASURE.

Its Misery Owner Dying and Cannot Tell
Where It Is.
Fully $7S, 900 lies hidden somewhere
near Delaware, o., and the misery
owner lies on his deathbed from par
alytic stroke, rendering him unable to
divulge where his hidden wealth is con-
cealed.
John Swim is about 20 years Of age,
we'll known on account of his reputation
for queerness. He has always been a
money making man and as economical
as possible in saving it. Several years
ago General M. B. Walker Of Kenton
was engaged todo legal work for Swim,
who upon one occasion exhibited to him
$751; in bills, mostly of large denom-
inatiqns. The fact became known, md
Swim was robbed.
He then buried the rest. of his wealth,
telling General Walker Of the fact. Hc
possessed q finerf farm valued at $1S, 900.
Unless he regains his speech or use OF
his hands to write the place of his hid
den treasure the secret will never be
known When questioned concerning the
secret place, he appears greatly worried
and murmurs and tries to use his hands
to indicate the place.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

Death of Miss Annie Wing.

On Saturday morning the 22nd inst,
Miss Annie Wing, eldest daughter of Mr..
Burt Wing, of Nettle Greek, departed this
life after lingering illness of many
years. The funeral service was held at
the home of Mr.. Wing at O'Clock on
Monday afternoon, the Rev.J. A. Deisen
conducting the same, and dwelt with feel
ing on the life of the poor, afflicted girl.
She was buried at the Nettle Greek GEM
etary. The young lady, ailing since early
girlhood saw bat little pleasure in this
life, and let US earnestly hope that spirit
ual compensation in some form in the
world to come, will bring celestial life to
one who could but hope against hape in
the amending trials of Athletic 4 .hete.

SILVER IN THE WEST.

is telling concerning the funeral Of q
distinguished advocate Of the white

Creek.
: The whole town turned out to pay its
rsspects to the memory Of the deceased,
whose demise was sincerely mourned.
The good preacher felt it devolved on
him to make a long and impressive serv-
ice. He talked for an even hour and q
half before the final amen.
Just as this word left his mouth the
corpse rose out Of the coffin, pulled say
agely at his hair and said, "All that
talk and not one word about silver. y
