From the local column it will be seen
the reported sanquinary troubles OF Fl
Dora are now characterized by citizens
of that place as ougaboo, and created
by number of disgruntled adventures.
The reports sent down to the Denver
papers from there have been sensational
in the extreme and if not true can not be
too severely criticised. The interests OF
the camp of El Dora and in fact the en-
tire county are too important to be In,
jured by the efforts OF a penny-a-liner,
desirous of creating an excitement, and
such efforts should be discouraged.

We do not hesitate to say the Referer-
dunn would be q blessing 20 u people.
At present those Who make their Laws
are often bulldozsd or corrupted into
defeating the popular will The legls
lators are not infrequently more iuoOm
perent than the people themselves
By the Initiative a certain per cent. Of
the people, say five per cent, may
frame and endorse a bill which they de
sire enacted and have it submitted 20 q
popular vote. This is as good and as
Democratic and as greatly needed as
the Referendum. The Imperative
Mandate Is the application of direct
legislation to the impeachment and re
moVal Of any officer. When q demand
ia properly signed Oy the requisite mum
Der Of voters, calling for toe summary
removal OF any agent of the people, an
immediate referendum vote Of the peo-
pie follows and the offending officer
can be promptly removed. This last ls
not necessary in country in which
the tenure of Cfice is usually short.
But it would do good; it would make
public Office a public trust indeed, and
il would make public officers public
servants indeed, making the people
masters. The Referendum, the Initia-
tive and the Imperative Mandate are
good measures We think the per
centsge Of voters requisite to their
operation ought to be at least twenty,
five. for the petition evil is 80 great
that five per cent. of the people could
be gotten to ask for anything. II pub

constituents; il public extravaganza

corporations continue their methods,

that will make many a political head

Our readers will be pleased to learn

successful in quickly curing all forms
of kidney and bladder troubles, that
those who wish to Prove for themselves
it's wonderful merit may have a sample

Nothing could be more fair or generous
than this liberal Offer, and we advise
our readers to write mentioning Raleigh
PROGRESSIVE FARMER and send their
address to DR.. KlImer 6 Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. Swamp Root is the discov-
cry of a great physician and scientist
and as such ia not recommended for
everything, but will be found by men
and women just what is needed in cases
of kidney and bladder disorders-or
troubles arising from weak kidneys,
such as gravel, rheumatism, pain or
dull ache in the back, too frequent de
sire to pass water, scRnty supply,
smarting or burning in passing it.
Swamp Root stands the highest for its
wonderful cures. The regular SIZES are

The Caucasian SAWS:

The Caucasian says:
Democratic State Chairman Manly
in an interview says: 'Our ranks are
strengthened and we will surely win
in 1as0p if we keep our heads and act
with the harmony of men Who have q
great and common purpose"
What q lump of tony rotl II he
says what he means then he means
nothing. Oc is he trying to hide his
meaning behind q bush of meaningless
worns9 If Mr.. Manly is chairman
again and uses the same policy and
will land in the ditch again. It was
Mr.. Manly, the Charlotte Observer,
Col. Means and a few other Southern
Railroad goldOugs who are responsible
for the turning down Of the PROPOSE
tion of the Peoples Party for all the
supporters of Bryan to cooperate in
electing an anti monopoly legislature
The masses of the Democratic party
wanted such a cooperation in the State
as there was on the electoral ticket,
but the Ransom railroad machine de-
feated it. They would have refused to
CO operate on the electoral ticket, had
Mr.. Bryan not specially requested it,
and they knew that il they ignored
Mr.. Bryan's request that the people
would run over them.
It was under Mr.. Manly's manage
ment that ex Congressman Bum, q
man who had voted in Congress with
Ransom to repeal the last silver law
on the statute books was invited TO in
troduce Mr.. Bryan at Rocky Mount.
This was an insult to Mr.. Bryan
and to every true silver man
in the State. Is it possible that
that Mr.. Manly and the Charlotte o.
server are pulling together to defeat
Bryant
But none of these things are sur
prising when it is remembered that Mr..
Manly opposed the adoption Of a res
oIution in his county convention which
elected delegates to R4lelgh TO instruct
the delegates to Chicago to vote for
none but a silver candidate for Presi-
dent-yes, he opposed and made a
speech against the adoption of a free
silver resolution in his county CONVEX
tion in the spring of last year. And
this is the man who was selected by
the Democratic State machinery to
lead Bryan's campaign in this State.
Had it not been for the unparalleled
patriotism OF the Peoples Party, Nc.
Kinley would have carried this State
The masses Of the Democratic party
can never expect any relief through
that party as long as it is cursed with
such leaders. They will use the party
in the interest of goldbugs and mo
nopolists or they will dlsch it"

CHASED BY A BEAR.

The Wilmington Star Of the 24:h
ult. says:
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Thomas
E. Bell, of this city, with his wife, took
a drive in a buggy On the old Federal
Point Road, and when about four mile
from the city Mr.. Bell noticed that
two hounds which had accompanied
him had tracked some kind of game
into a thicket near a bay leading from
blythe Savannah" bay. Mr.. Bell,
upon investigation, found that the
game vas a large black bear. The
bear attacked the dogs and soon had
them running, one of the dogs being
badly hurt. The bear then gave chase
to MIR. Bell, who, armed with only a
small Ratchet, had to fee for his life.
Mr.. Bell, however, made good his es

governed"
We hold, therefore. that to restore
and preserve these rights under q
Republican form of government, pri-
vate monopolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether OF
the means of production, distribution

whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes a monopoly In private
hands, the people of the municipality,

therefor, and operate them for, and IN

safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal

their needs as carriers, and all lands
claimed by the government and held
