Decided Against Mrs Vance.

The Supreme court last week
handed down its opinion in the suit
for dover of Mrs. Florence S. Vance
VS.. Chas. N. Vance and others, heirs
of Senator 4. B. Vance. The suit
was hea' d at the January term of
AMecklenburg court. The lower
court decided that Mrs. Vance was
not entitled to take the house and
lot in Charlotte as part of her dover,
and from this she appealed. The
court also decided that Mrs. Vance
was entitled to dover IN the Bee Tree
farm in Buncombe, aud from this
the defendants appealed.
The Asheville Citizen saws that
the Supreme court decided both
points in favor of the defendants,
holding that Mrs. Vance was not en-
titled as matter of law to have the
Charlotte property included in her
dover, and not entitled to have the
Bee Tree farm considered in allot-
ting her dover.

The time is near when they (the
banks) will feel compelled to act
strongly. Meanwhile a very good
thing has been done. The machinery
is now furnished by which, in any
emergency, the financial corporations
of the East can act together on a
single days notice with such power
that no act of Congress can overcome
or resist their decision.-New York
Tribune.

they might be made more amenable
to the hard times" -Indianapolis News
(dem).
"The capitalists have bought and
are buying largely the associated press,
and are controlling the avenues of in
telligence."-William Windon (rep.).
II it is possible to inaugurate a
greater system of robbery of the peo-
pies money than the State banks i
that system has been inaugurated in
the present system of national banks.
The money lost by the people under
the old system of State banks is a
mere bagatelle when compared to that
which has been and will be taken
from them under the present system
of national banks.-Jas. G. Blaine.
My agency in procuring the pas
sage of the National Bank Act was the
greatest financial mistake of my life
1t has built up monopoly that effects
every interest in the country. 1t
should be repealed. But before this
can be accomplished the people will be
arrayed on one side and the banks on
the other in a contest such as we have
never seen in this country.-Salmon

Stand For Principle stupefes The Gold
bugs.

For The Caucasian.l
KADAR. N. c.. May 9.-The Pop
ulists of this neighborhood are with
Senator Butler on his policy of CO.
operation, and the Denis are almost
struck dumb by the decision of our
committee. 1t was an unexpected
bomb exploded in the ranks of both
old parties and has badly democrat
lied both. They plainly see that
the Populists are for principle and
that Is what they fear more than
everything else. Both the Office
gangs have had no principle but to
get ONCE so long, that it scares them
almost out of their senses for the
Pops to come out and stand solid
for principle instead of office. That
puts altogether a different face on
the political outlook and makes them
feel that their days are numbered.
This free silver goldbug element in
the Demo- Cleveland gang is nothing
more or less than junto to fool the
people AID try to keep their party
together to vote for goldbug for
President. Four years ago these
same partybugs that are claiming
to be such good friends of silver
now, were Internal onal or Cleveland
silverites. and are the same yet. l
have Just the same faith in one as
the other. Both sides are goldbugs
or partybugs or "straddlebups., one
or the other, and all mean one thing.
That is Cleveland goldbugism. 1t is
we'll known by every intelligent man,
woman, boy and girl in the United
States that the Peoples. Party is the
only true silver party and if silvef is
ever remonetized it will have to come
through the Peoples Party. WhvY
Because both or all other parties ave
hopelsssly divided or pretend to be:
30 they cannot or will not pass apy
law in favor Of silver. The Pee
pies Party is q unit on silver from
Maine to Mexico and from the At
lantic to the Pacific oceans, That
is why it must come through the
Peoples Party if at all. Then we saw
to all of all parties who are in favor
of silver and other reforms come ont
OF them goldbug klans. Join the
true silver party.
