SHALL THE SENATE BE TURNED
OVER TO THE GOLD MEN?


Our Washington correspondent pointed
out a few days ago that the complexion
Of the next United States Senate, as to
the money question, would probably De
determined by the action of the North
Carolina Legislature in electlng sue
cessor to Senator Pritchard, whose term
will expire on the fourth of next March,
The two leading editorials in this week
Caucasian are based on the necessity OF
electing n silver man to the Senate from
North Carolina. We publish these edi-
torials elswhere.
The Senate is the last citadel of the sill
ver forces. The gold men of all parties
are resolved to take it, and to that end
are bending every energy to secure the
Senator from North Carolina, Delaware
and South Dakota. The silver men have
a clear working majority in the Leglsla-
lures of all three States, and can eject
silver Senators if they desire. The money
power, aided by the patronage OF TINS
and the promises of patronage from the
next administration, will stop at nothing
to secure these three Senators, all of
which they now claim.
This is no time for partisan advantage.
The silver men, no matter what their
party name, ought to arouse themselves
and meet the gold-bug attack with resolu-
ton and defiance. Upon fair vote, the
silver men have secured the controlof the
Legislatures in these three States. Ii any
man, who does not believe in the plat
form upon which the Democrats, Popu-
lists and Silver parties fought the last
campaign, is elected to the Senate by the
Legislature of either of these States,
those elected as silver men who vote for
him will show that they do not favor
silver. The Caucasian puts it thus:
1T is not a question of how much
money would be used to capture a
gold Senator from North Carolina. 1t
is a question of whether any member
of the Legislature can be tempered
with or not, for the amount of money
that the gold combine would use is
unlimited"

mo SMOKING ALLOWED"

That was a queer notion that got into
the heads of the poll-holders at Piney
Point precinct, Carteret county, on cleo
ton night. When one of the drowsy mem
befs accidentally set fire to the tickets
and burned them, the proper thing to
have done would have been to report
the facts so that a new election could be
ordered But these men decided to sub
stitutc ballots and keep the thing pro-
found secret. OF course it has leaked
out and the poll-holders subject them
selves to indictment.
Under the election law there IS no
method of correcting the wrong except
by resorting to the courts. The de-
feated county candidates ought to bring
action and the candidate for the Legis-
lature ought to serve notice of contest.
The only way to fairly adjust
the matter is by a new
election at that precinct And
the next time an election is held there,
a notice ought to be posted up; mo
Smoking Allowed.
Evidently the Carteret county poll
holders had tickets to burn.

The decision to arbitrate the differences
between England and Venezuela is most
gratifying from several aspects. In the
first place, it shows that civilization has
advanced to a point where disputes are
adjusted by brains instead of bullets. 1t
presages a universal acceptance of arbi-
tration as the method for the adjust
ment Of disputes between nations. The
acceptance of arbitration in this instance
secures a virtual recognition Of the
Monroe doctrine by Great Britain which
has never before been accorded. This
recognition viii go far toward future
