And we note another interesting
little matter. For two years past, from
the Democratic standpoint, Butler has
been the great boss of the Peoples
Party. What Butler said was law to
the Populists. If Butler frowned,
every POpulist dropped his under jaw
and skunk off. Bnt-listen nOw-when
Butler makes a proposition to the
Democrats to cooperate all down the
line, then he is not "BOss." He has no
power then! What he says does not
60. 1t does not represent what his
party says. These are two Democratic
views of Butler. Do you catch on
sonny? The proposition is completely
ignored by Democrats who had al
ways claimed that Butler was the en-
tire p. 2, See?

The Typographical Journal, the Off
cial organ of the printers of the United
States, says of Judge Clark's article on
telegraph and telephone rates which
we reproduce elsewhere in this issue ::
1--WE trust that subordinate unions
have not overlooked the appeal under
the head of important Notice." in
reference to the government owner
ship of the telegraph system. Candi-
dates for Congress and for the Senate
of the United States should be inter-
viewed on the subject, and pledges
obtained for their individual support
of the measures now before both
houses of Congress. Subordinate
unions should appoint committees for
this purpose and there should be no
lack of activity and energy in urging
support Of measures looking to gov
eminent control of this great mo-
nOpoly."

TEN CENTS FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

When hardships face the people, it
is necessary for all to take share in
bearing the burdens they impose. We
are told that the people want this pa
per for the campaign, but that they
are unable to pay for it. Well, if this
be so we will again try to put it with

refused to DO ANYTHING as an evil
dence of sincerity. The second was
that il the agreement recommended
should be approved AT THE PROPER
TINE, IS many Representatives, who
favor silver and who will vote against
the gold standard, will 60 to Con-
gress from this State as could posi-
bly, be sent there by Democrats or
Democratic aid under the present
election law. Being thus convinced
that nothing would be lost to the
cause advocated by the Peoples
Party and that the State reforms
could be preserved at the same time,
the committee felt no hesitation in
presenting the agreement as it stands
for the consideration of the people.
Let it be we'll considered-butl let
it be REMEMBERED ALL THE TIME,
that circumstances alter cases. II
the agreement, WITH ALL THAT Is
NOW EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY IT,
cannot be approved by one of the
parties to it, it cannot be approved
by the other.

1t was decided that under the new

All fair minded Democrats are salts
fed with the result of the St. Louis
POpulist convention. All sincere
silver men wanted q union of forces.
No reasonable man could ask that the
POpullsts should strike their flag and
march over to the Democratic party.
As test of this faith. the Populists
nominated Watson rs a candidate for
vice-President. This was as little as
they conld do without complete sur
render. If the Democrats hold the is
sue of free silver above party they will
certainly vote for Bryan and Watson.

Last week there were three failures
of national banks in the city of New
Orleans.DepOsitOrs will soon learn that
the pretended safety of national banks
is a myth. They are as unreliable and
unsafe as any other private institu-

signifies that the government gives
them more privileges to rob the people

We again revert to the fact that the
gOld-standard Democrats, in their

dOrsed the Democratic State ticket.
Any inconsistencies here? The gold
standard Democrats did not think so.

But these gold standard Democrats are

THE ENECUTIvE COMMITTEE AND
COOPERATION.

Elsewhere We present q report of
the proceedings of the State Execu-
tive Committee which met here on
the 9th inst.
Let it be understood in the begin
ming that the only power delegated
to the committee by the State con-
ventlon was to complete the State
ticket by making nominations for the
offices of Attorney General, Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court
and one elect at-large. Any action
of the committee which goes beyond
this is simply recommendatory, and
cannot be regarded aspffi cially bind
ing or committing any one to its sup
port. The committee exercised the
right of making recommendation
for the approval or rejection of the
people
Taking into consideration the State
and National platforms, the declara-
ton of the State Silver convention
and general sentiment of the Peo-
pies Party as repeatedly expressed,
there is no denying that the action
OF the committee appears to involve
Inconsistency. For our present pur-
pose we shall admit that the action
is inconsistent. After making this
admission it rests with the commit
tee, or some one, to advance a reason
or cause strong enough to counter
balance the inconsistency. II this
cannot be done then the action of the
committee cannot be defended.
We must not be understood as de-
claring that the committee has posi-
lively done the wrong thing. Uutil
the final result OF any action or
movement is known no one has a
right to charge that the actors or
movers are seeking to accomplish
anything except that for which they
have declared, or that which they are
known to desire. But there are in
this land, and especially in this State,
and more especially in Raleigh, peo-
rie who grossly and flagrantly disre-
gard what Is right in matters of this
kind. They make charges which
they know axe untrue. They have
already intimated or charged that
the committee was Influenced by

If the reconciliation of silver will
reduce the purchasing power of gold,
as the goldites declare, then the de-

purchasing power of gold; and it nat

the former relation of the two metals.

In this issue will be found an ap-
peal for funds from the National
Executive Committee of the Peoples
Party. In order to run an effective
campaign it is necessary that the
Executive Committee be supplied
with money. Urgent request are
daily coming in to the committee for
literature and speakers to combat
and refute the charges of the gold
bug parties. The Republican party
and the gold standard wing Of the
Democratic party are kept plentiful
ly supplied with funds by the bank
ers, corporationists, and monopo-
lists, not only to employ speakers
and lavish distribution of their lit
erature, but also in many places to
Duy the votes of ignorant and waver-
ing voters and in other ways to prac-
tice corruption at the polls. To offset
this it is absolutely necessity that
the Peoples Party be supplied with
the means to make an effective, in
structive campaign from now until
the close of the polls, so that when a
voter is approached for the purpose
of corruption he will be so convinced
Of the needs of the country that his
patriotism will arise above these
bribers, spurn their advances and
cast his vote for the representative
silver candidates of the people
Bryan and Watson.

A number of indignant citizens were
grouped about dead mule in Perry street
lane The mule had just dragged load
Of kindling wood TO its destination and
when the driver, who had been bel1bor-

the wood was TO be delivered the mule
sank TO the ground and remained motion
less between the shafts Several passers-
nv who had Witnessed the occurrence hur-
ried TO the spot and We're outspoken in
tbeir criticisms of the drivers brutal in
difference. One Of the bystanders took
the driver severely 10 task for not trying

went on unloading the kindling wood and
carving it in the house. with apparent
indifference. When he had unloaded his
cart. he coolly mounted the seat gathered
mn the reins and shouted, Wake up Oar.
1-ou Rastusr The mule cooked up one
ear. opened one eye, wabbied to his feet
and shambled off up the lane. Then the
crowd melted away. and an air of peace
and ouietness settled down upon the neigh
borhood.
