BE AWAKE THIS TIME.

Populists all remember how the
National Democratic convention
stole the Peoples Party Platform
almost plank for plank, and then
claimed it as their own. They did
this because they could no longer
dodge the real issues. This railroad
lease question IS going to be the
main issue in the next State cam
paign. 1t is going to be al issue to
which all the people will rally. There
will be a landslide towards il, and
the slide will begin very soon. The
Peoples Party was the only party
that denlared opposition to this leas g
IN It's platform last year. 1t is now
become a great question like the Fl =
nancisl question and the two old
parties can no longer dodge it and
TOOL The people. See if one Of the
Old parties docs not try to steal this
ISSUE also. But TIE P.oEl.s Partv
is IN this fight because 1t is right and
We will welcome help and co.opera-
ton from any source. Let those
who favor corporation reform and
financial reform rally to our banner
and enlist in the fight for the people
and good government.

Ever since the hot fight which
arose between the Popullsts and Re
pubIicans on the Senatorial ques-
ton, there have been vagrant sug-
gestions and fugacious hints that
the Populists and Democrats would
form coalition for the next elec
ton. IL there ever was possibility
OF such thing, it has been nocked
into froth and fog by the Democrats
by their record on this ninety nine
year lease question. The next Goa
lition will probably be- between Dem
ocrats and Populists, headed by the

Some Corrections

Please allow me space to core ct
some misleading errors which ap-
peared IN the letter from Pendleton

ard as saying: 81 stand lat-footed
on the Republican platform and !
am NOT in favor of the free and un
limited coinage of silver at a ratio
OF 10 to l, the word NOT was left out.
In saying that Skinner Boiling
Co. have justly received the CON,
DEMNAT ON of the Populists and all
true men, the word RFcoMMENDA-
TON appeared for coNDEMNAr1oN.

lst. That this lease was secretly
arraigned.
Fad. That I'D OF 800, 900 year
has been offered for the North Caro-
lima railroad, whereas the secret 90
year lease" was made to the South
ern railway corporation for S2S0OO0
year. We stated last week that a
bill had originally been drawn which
would have annullcd tho lease if it
could have passed. This bill was
80 amended as TO give the Governor
power to bring suit to t. st the valid
ity of the lease, ard as amended in
this manner, 1t passed tho House.
1t was then sent TO the Senatr. That
body passed u substitute making the
time Of the lease 80 years instead
of 90 years, but did not make
any effort to secure any more
money for the Sa'e than was agreed
upon by the secret 80 year lease. This
substitute was passed by a combina-
ton of Republicans, Democrats and
OK Populists. The Populists all
voted against it.

California is one Of the many
States whose legislature is moving
for reduction Of telegraph rates to
10 cents. Lower railroad rates are
also a necessity. The corporations
will voluntarily reduce nothing, and
the average X. r. commission will
do nothing unless the corporations
give the nod. The people are driven
10 DEM'SD lower rates from legisla-
tive action.

We have always told you SO.
When it comes to a square fight be-
tween big corporations or combines
aud the people, the Democrats and
Republicans quickly get together,
almost solidly, and stand by the
combines against the people. There
never was a clearer case in point
than the record just made by the Re-
publicans and Democrats on this

1t is difficult TO tell the story of a
continuation Of the fight, and how
firmly and long some true North
Carolinians and patriots stood
against the overwhelming cohorts Of
corporation greed and finally van
pushed them. We give some par
ticulars of the story elsewhere.
1t fills several columns of several is
sues of the daily papers, and it is
impractical for us to give it lp full
in a weekly issue. On Friday after
noon, when the House reassembled,
a resolution was offered by Dockery
making the Senate substitute the
special order for IL o'clock on Sat
urday, and that the Supreme Court
be requested to give an opinion on
the doubtful points by that hour. AT
that hour the great fight was renew
ed, and from then until II o'clock
the beginning Of the Sabbath day,
the little band of patriots fought,
and turned and doubled and
flbustered and defeated the
big railroad ring at every
turn. On Monday morning the fight
was again rene wed, and those men
who had stuck by the people man
aged to table and thus defeat the
scheme of the railroaders to get by
Legislative enactment, sanction OF
the terms of the secret lease for
thirty years. 1t is true the repre-
sentatives of the people did not get
what they wanted; but it is also
true that the people will yet have a
chance to elect representatives who
may show TO the world that
North Carolina is q sovereign State,
and that she is not in the hopeless
grasp of corporation power. We
have faith in the people. They now
have the case before them. Let
them send a Populist majority to
the next legislature and the rights
and interests of the State will be re.
deemed and preserved.

1t was constitutional or rot. They
