RALEIGH, N. C, April 5.-There
is sensation in Gold Hill, Rowan
county, due to the shooting of Miss
Frances Trextor by her father.
She had a sweetheart, who last
night took her to church. Her father,
who opposed their courtship, got a
gun and awaited their return, in
tending to kill her lover. She re-
turned alone, however, and her
father told her how he had intended
to kill her lover if he had come with
her, when the gun was discharged
and the entire load entered her
thigh, tearing it to pieces. Some
believe the shooting was not acct
dental.

THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS PASS.

A Tremendous Majority In Tho House
Sits Down on Tho Hirelings of The Sugar
Trust.
The tools and agents of the sugar
trust made strong fight to prevent
the resolutions recognizing Cuba
from passing, but for once they were
badly defeated. The House could
not stand the wide and growing i'm
putation that the trust was trying to
influence its action.
On Monday the House adopted the
conference report on the Cuban reso-
lutions by vote of pa to q.
The report on the resolutions had
been debated Friday and Saturday
and the vote was taken immediately
after the reading of the journal.
Eighteen Republicans and nine Dem
ocrats voted against the report. At
ter the most determined opposition
of those opposed to i the recognition
of the Cubans in the Senate and
House, there were but ten more
votes against the report than against
the original resolutions. The former
vote was 262 to II. By it's action
the House agreed to the Senate res
olutions and disposed of the Cuban
question for the present. Those res
olutions were as follows:
"Resolved, That in the opinion of
Congress, condition of public war
exists between the government of
Spain and the government proclaim
ed and for some time maintained by
force of arms by the people of Cuba:
and that the United States of Amer
lea should maintain a strict neutral
ity between the contending powers,
according to each all the rights of
belllgerents in the ports and territory
of the United States.
"Resolved, further, That the
friendly Offices of tho United States
should be offered by the President
to the Spanish government for the
recognition of the independence of
Cuba.'
The resolutions were officially
brought to the attention of the Pres
ident by the Secretary of the Senate.
Ordinarily, concurrent resolutions
are not forwarded to the President,
as they do not require his signature,
but these resolutions will be laid be-
fore him because they express the
opinion that he should tender the
Offices of the United States to Spain
Tor the recognition of Cuban indie
pendence, and are, therefore, a di-
rection to him, insofar as Congress
can direct the President in such q
proceeding.

ANOTHER QUESTION AND ANSWER.
THE CAUCASIAN has received sew
eral letters containing questions on
the same line. The following il one
of them:
QUESTION: The Republican COM
mittee of this county has been urg-
ing us to hold our meeting and agree
at once on terms of county fusion
with them. Do you think it wise for
us to take such action before our
State convention meots7
ANSWER: In our opinion it is not
wise. There is certainly no necessi-
ty for such haste. 1t is more than
four months before it will be neces-
sary to hold county conventions.
We certainly can act more intelli-
gently next August than we can
now. We should certainly not take
action on county matters until after
the State convention meets, when
We will have an opportunity for full
consultation. By that time the two
old party national conventions will
have been held, and we will have
the full political situation before US,
and the State convention will in its
wisdom lay down tho line of battle
that should be made. The CAucA-
SIAN would advise our friends in
every county to take no action at
present with reference to the details
of the county ticket. Nothing can
be gained by acting hastily. 1t is
best not to act until the time comes
to act.

tice his persistent misrspresenta-
tons, ill-bred filings and reckless
public observations about the Peo-
ple's Party.
The Peoples Party, through its
State committee, subject TO conven-
ton approval, has offered to coop
crate with the Republicans against
goldbugs or with the adherents Of
all parties in the State in . non
partisan movement to elect . Presi-
dent who cannot be influenced by
the money power to bet,ay and sac
rifice the people. The money ques
ton will be the great, leading ma
tional issue in the next campaign.
Even q novice in politics of Mr..
Holton's perception must realize
that.
The dangerous influence Of tho
money power cannot be successfully
met without aggressive organization
and complete unlfication OF all who
oppose the rman-Cleveland gold
policy. Certainly, the Republican
State chairman, who sneers at the
silver movement, fully appreciates
that fact. 1t is q simple sum in ad-
dition, and we do Mr.. Holton's intel
ligence the credit to believe that he
is competent to master it. Appre-
ciating the critical situation, which
grows more alarming daily, the Peo-
ple's Party has taken the initiative
in this movement and has urged the
people to rise above party, in a pa
triotic effort to avert the irreparable
calamity that must follow the cleo
ton of President committed to the
gold-standard policy that controls
the Cleveland administration, and
that has controlled every Republican
administration since the demonetiza-
ton of silver. 1t has had the courage
to do 1t because it is independent of
the disreputable machine" infu-
ence that controls the two old party
organizations in the State.
1t was done without considering
Mr.. Holton's opinion, and the move
ment which is yielding such splendid
results will be continued without re-
gard to that opinion. Not even Mr..
Holton's over-powering disdain will
change the policy of the Peoples
Party in this vital matter. Let there
