ave have 10 personal feeling against
Senator Pritchard. We have no OBJ
iections to the election of a silver Re-
publican. Indeed it is but natural
and fair that the Republicans have q
Senator from the State. But we want
it distinctly understood that Mr..
Pritchard cannot be pushed down the
throat of the middle of-the-road Pop
ulists, and we also want it generally
understood in advance that this paper
knows the sentiments of the POpulists
of the State and if Mr.. Pritchard, who
is not silver man, is reelected, it will
be done by dishonest methods, and the
moment it is done a chasm will be
created and no bridge can be built
across it. The POpulists did not &c
into this fight to defeat such men as
Senator Ransom and Congressman
Settle and then turn around and re-
elect Pritchard--One of the same kind
II the chasm is made the result will be
that the Republican party will be

"But if the leaders want to wreck thu
party on the Pritchard shoals, that is
their business. The Populist mem
bers of the legislature who favor
Pritchard, if there be such, will g
down in the general wreck when thu
craft strikes the shoals, and thei
names will be written beside that o

There is more Catarrah in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrah to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

This ought to give me some right with
others in saying something on the
Senatorial question, which is now
overshadowlng everything else.
1t matters not so much who holds
the offices, as long as our principles
are carried out, but is it reasonable to
suppose that a man who openly antag-

pended on to carry them out. This

The Peoples Party is tho only
party in North Carolina which has
declared in its platform for . State
Reformatory for young criminals.
This is the only promise made by the
Peoples Party which the last legisla-
ture did not redeem. Senator Nc
Caskey introduced and passed
through the State Senate q bill pro-
viding for such . reformatory.
There was NO opposition to it in the
House that we heard Of, and it was
generally thought that the measure
had become . law. We trust that
Senator McCaskey, who is re- elected,
will push and pass this measure at
the next session the General Assem-

Reformatory has grown SO popular
since the Peoples Party first declared
for it.

have been raising tobacco for SO years
and have been very attentive in study
ing the nature of the weed. After q
course of Is years l decided or rather
discovered that there were certain
times to cut tobacco in order that it
might have heavy body and cure up
with much facility and brightness. To
find out these dates, which l then
knew not, it has taken years Of Kx-
PER1HNCE and careful STUDY. There
is sap in tobacco as in tree. 1t
also contains an oily substance. When
the sap is up in tobacco it runs the oil
out, and is very sorry. When the sap
is out of tobacco there is nothing in il
but oil, it seems to be fat and il theI
cut would be vey profitable. Tobacco
makes similar changes as long as j,
remains on hill.

THE EAST WANTS THE sPEAKrRsHlp

For the Caucasian.
LEWISTON, \. c., Dec. 9th, 1896 -.
From the columns of newspapers,
we gather the fact that there are many
candidates in the field for the office of
Speaker of the House branch of the
next General Assembly.
With few exceptions, all are from
the Western part Of the State. While
nothing is further from my mind than
the idea or question of sectionalism,
yet we beg to submit: il, in the
course of events, would it not be fair,
equitable and just to distribute the
honors accruing from party success
so as to more nearly egualize them be-
tween the different sections of the
State than has heretofore been prac-
ticed.
We are led to this conclusion from
an examI nation of the record of the
House branch Of the legislature which
develops the fact that this honorable
and important position has not been
filled by an Eastern man for nearly
two decades.
Commencing in 1883 we find that in
1885, Holt, of Alamance county, was
Speaker; in 1887, Webster, of Rock
ingham, was Speaker; in 1889, Leazer,
OF lredell county. was Speaker; IN
1891, Doughton, Of Allegheny, was
was Speaker; in 1895, Walser, of Da-
wilson, was Speaker.
All of them Western men, who have
been accorded this place of honor, and
yet, we are told that the West wishes
to acquire it again. With all
due respect and unqualified
regard for those gentlemen
mentioned for Speaker" we beg tC
say that none are more competent
than they to fulfill the necessary re-
quirements of the office, but We insist
that the members of the House branch
Of the legislature should at the pres.
ent or next session, realize that oul
Eastern counties are not poor for ex
perienced and efficient parliamenta.
