rssELL, PRITCHARD AND THE

We print elsewhere the opinion of
thoughtful man, not an enemy or critic,
but a partial friend, of Governor Russell
pointing out that in helping to elect
Pritchard to the Senate the Governor IS
elcvating a man whose influence will pre-
vent the annulment Of the ninety nine
wear lease of the North Carolina railroad
to the Southern. The point is worthy the
Governors attention. 1t is notorious IN
North Carolina that Senator Pritchard
has been Col. Andrews's legislative a.
gent. and has even been a bitter oppo-
nent of q Railroad Commission. Has he
reformed? Unless he has, the Governor
in supporting Pritchard, is blocking his
way to carrying out his declared policy.
There are indeed those who say the
Governor does not want to annul the
,lease: that his denunciation was for pub
lie consumption; and that after the Sen
atorial election is over nothing more will
he heard from him in regard to it.
We shall see.

COL. SKINNER DIGS \ HOLE AND
FALLS IN IT.

The Populists, who have not gone over
to the Republican party and to gold along
with Col. Harry Skinner and others, find
great satisfaction in quoting Col. Skin
ner's speech in the PopuEst caucus,
Thursday, January 9Th. In that speech
Col Skinner demanded of Senator But
Ter. in words about like these below:
Name your man. If YOU win name
Populist | will support him. though
win not support any Republican eX-
cent Senator Pritchard ..... If you
would name DR.. Cyrus Thompson, all
true Populists viii support him"
4 week later Senator Butler named his
man. He was the very man Col. Skinner
had said he would support. And yet,
with his own fayor.te named, here IS Col.
Skinner splitting his shirt TO elect a gold
bug Republican.
Isn't it strange?
No, it isn't strange.
Col. Skinner will soon be distributing
postofiices, and four years hence he ex-
poets to wear Buffers Senatorial toga.
That's where the Colonel comes in.
Where do the people get their relief?
The people-the Colonel has forgotten
them since he began to soar.

BE IT KNOWN TO ALL MEN.



In free country the people have a
right to complain of the burdens placed
upon them.
Railroad corporations are creatures of
the people through the legislature, and
the same agency that gave them life can
fix and regulate their rates. If we pay
too high railroad rates, il is solely because
the people, through the legislature, do
not reduce them. We cannot expect
Rothschilds and other nonresident own
ers of these railroads TO voluntarily stop
the sluice Of money we are so lavishly
paying into their pockets.
The salary Of the Governor of the great
State of North Carolina with nearly two
millions Of people is only $1,000 and some
think that too much with &C. cotton),
but we pay numerous railroad official
$4,000, S25,0 and $4,000 salaries, be
sides giving them private palace cars.
and paying private secretaries, lawyers
lobbyists and servants to wait on them.
The people can stop this and reduce
railroad salaries to $4,000 per annum for
presidents, and others in proportion
whenever the legislature represents the
people enough to establish lower rates.
The Southern Railway (owncd BIS
Rothschilds) declares a sem;-annual diyi-
dend on $1,000 600 Of watered stock
and other railroads are doing as well. Be
sides, the people pay the rent on the
North Carolina railroad for them and
gave them the use of road free All
these things are done by high passenger
fares and freight rates.
The railroads like the effect too well
to lower rates. How is it with those who
have to pay these high rates?
