DEs MONIES GOES PoPuI,sT.

Tho Principle Of Municipal Ownership
Cams Another Great Victory.
The Des Moines Tribune
Des Moines has gone Populist by m
overwhelming majority. We do not
put it this way to make any body re-
greet their action in voting for munic.
ipal ownership but merely to calf the
attention of the people to the fact that
what they have, in times gone BY. been
led to denounce Populists as anarch-
lists and irresponsible cranks because
they advocate such measure az munic-
ipal ownership, was not so bad after
all. Even our most conservative
citizens and wealthy business and
professional men are for it now
and Of course that makes it 70.
spectacle. The only difference be-
tween them and the ordinary Ponu-
list is, the latter saw the need of these
things some years ago and had ia
break loose from his old party to make
any hesdway toward arousing the
masses TO the true sense of the sitna-
ton, while the former has remained
with his party until sheer necessity
has driven him and his party to m
dorse the move. And right here We
desire to remark that the other Pom
list demands are no more visionary
and are just a. pressing and in eyery
way just ~ respectable as mupicip.l
ownership and It is only question OF
time when the wealthy merchant. dig
nided professional man and the d..
nouncer OF visionary Populism will
have to come to them and endorse and
vote for them just as they have for

TELLER ON Mckinley AND THE Gu
BAN RESOLUTION.
After the passage of the Morgan Gu
ban resolution through the Senate,
Senator Teller was asked what he
thought Mckinley would do. He said
This administration Is too coward
~ to do anything. 1t is afraid of Of
tending Spain. The passage of that
resolution does not mean anything at
all, except that the president cannot
control the Senate as he does the
House. It will be defeated in House as
sure as it gets there. Reed will say it
shall not pass and the trucking Re-
publicans in the House will yield 1t
does not matter at all what the private
opinions of the members may be. 1t is
evident that the administration is en-
tering upon q foreign policy as con-
temptible and pusilanimous as that OF
Cleveland was. 1t is 9 shame, bnt
there is no bel for it. The people can
only speak through their representa-
tives, and they are dominated abso-
lutely by the administration. I can
not conceive of any public admins
tratiOn vigorous enough to have any
effect on the presidents policy"
The Spanish bondholders and the
sugar trust which controlled the policy
of the Cleveland administration to-
ward Cuba, seem to be still on desk
with Mckinley.

WILL DO.
Through the courtesy and kindness
of Mr.. J. J. Rogers, the Populist Reg
ster of Deeds of Wake county, the
CAUCASIAN is able to present the table
above which can be used to illustrate
the financial result in any school dis
trict which may vote for special dis
trict school tax.
Now to illustrate let us note the
statistics of one of these school dis
tricts. Take Barton's Creek for exam
Pile: The total number of white and
colored taxable polls is 304. The ag-
gregate taxable value of real and per-
sonal property is 5000, 454. The amount
of public school money which this dis
trict has been receiving under the
present public school regime is ST.
2O6.4O. The total number of children
of school age in the district is 754. The
amount of public school money for
| each child in the district is therefore
$3.50.
Now suppose this district votes upon
itself special school tax of ten cents
on the one hundred dollars aid thirty
cents on the poll. The amount real
Ized from this tax VIII be $z37 10. Then
the State viii. give to the district an
additional $297.65 and this will mean
that the district will have $.95 80 more
for school purposes than it now has.
The total amount of public school
money for the district would there
fore be $l.sOl.7O instead OF $1.2O6. 40 as
at present, or about 81, 40 for each child
of school age instead of $1.60 as at
present.
There are eleven schools In this dis
trict, and under the present regime
each school gets $l09es. If this dis
trict should vote the special ten cent
property tax and the thirty cent poll
tax, each of the eleven schools would
have $163.79 instead Of $109.6S as at
present, or 5411 more for each school
than they got now. At the present
rate of pay for public school teachers
this means that each school can be run
from five to eight weeks longer than
they now run.
| Another month of public school term
is something that has been talked
about by few people with some earn
estuess and desire. Here is a means
of securing it without overexaction
from any one. Now let the people
awake to this opportunity. As fast as
they shall take advantage of one op-
portunity Others will present then.
selves, and this will be established al
an early day a system that will put the
old North State to the front as State
of education and progress.
1t is, of course, easily seen that the
two last columns of the above table
are designed to show the results of 9
special tax in excess of that named by
the law as the minimum tax to be
voted for.

It was q beautiful thought Of .
little girl in the streets, hungry and
ragged, taken by . kind hearted
lady and led into . cake shop, and
fed as she had never been fed be-
fore. And when the angel-woman
had gwen the little child all she
could eat, and some cakes to carry
home, she took her into another
store and gave her a nice, warm
shawl aud other matters that the
girl needed, and was dismissing her,
when the child looked up into her
face, aud with all simplicity, said.
Are you Gods wife'' She had
heard that God gives good things,
and the gifts Of the good lady seem
ed to be such only as could come
from Him-or one like Him. 1t was

We declared some weeks ago that
Democratic papers would have the i'm
pudence to make declarations to the
effect that the State penitentiary had
been self-sustaining under Democratic
administration. They have begun to
do SO. Why they will deliberately lie
when they know they must be caught
is something beyond our cOmprehen-
sion, but that sort of thing seems to be
a Democratic proclivity and privilege.

WHY IS THIS.

1t is amusing to see Democratic
goldbug papers like the Charlotte OBJ
server and Wilmington Messenger
throwing out Kisses to Pritchard and
other Republicans who, like these
newspapers, are the executors Of the
money power. These newspapers pre-
tend to be most violent in advocating
white supremacy and States rights,
but when Republican like Governor
Russell commands the confidence OF
the white people by showing that he is
nst in favor of negro supremacy ehe is
only more bitterly denounced by these
money power papers. When he stands
up for the rights of the State and boldly
dsfies unjust federal encrOachment,
they give him no credit, and under
the orders Of their masters refused to
publish and did all they could to sup
press his ringing and defiant answer

There are two very important ques-
tions which, it seems, the people have
been slow to take hold of in vigorous
way. These are the questions of santa
ton and education. We need not 60
into any explanations here as to why
this is so in North Carolina. The fact
to be recognized is that, so lax has
been the attention and so slow the &C
ton, as to popular education, this

all the States in the matter of the
amount expended per capita for pub
