The Council.

At an adjourned meeting Of the
city council on Monday evening, upon
request Of the attorneys for Mr..
Townsend, tie Investigation of the
ea2fges against the mayor was post
poned until Wednesday evening owing
to the fact that Mr.. Calhoun could
not be present. Mr.. Kelsey fled a
formal protest by the mayor on the
grounds that the charges are vague
and indefinite. and insufficient to put
him upon trial, and reserving all
manner of objections thereto, and to
the power and jurisdiction of the said
city council to try him thereon, says
that none of the allegations, charges
or things therein contained are true
except such as are herein admitted. -
He then admits that he refused to sign
the order in question for reasons set
forth in his communication. AS to
the order mentioned in the second spec
ifications, he says he supposed it to be
the same order and in good faith be-
lieved he had the right to decline to
S sign it for the same reasons as Origi-
nally expressed in that communica-
ton.
In addition thereto a brief answer
was filed making a formal demand
that the proceedings be dismissed,
and that he be discharged from fur
Their answering thereto for the reason
that the charges are vague and indefi-
mite and insufficient to put him upon
bis trial and state no just cause for
removal. and that the council has no
jurisdiction to hear or try the same.
President J. w. Ward sprung a
sensation by fling his resignation as
member of the council, which was
accepted and the vacancy formally
declared. An adjournment was taken
until Monday evening.

a CAR 10.

For some time past I have been
forced to devote practically my whole
time to my Congressional duties, and
to the management Of the national
campaign Of the Populist Party.
Therefore, / have not been able to
give The CAUCASIAN the attention
that ! desired. We are now nearing
one Of the most important campaigns
ever seen in the State. The ques tions
to be settled and the issues at stake
are Of the greatest importance to the
future welfare Of our people. There
fore, / shall take the time to give the
editorial columns Of The CAUCASIAN
my personal attention. | believe that
q majority Of the voters Of the state,
will, when they know the facts, sus-
tain, i'm the next campaign, the re-
forms for which we will contend. But
it is absolutely necessary for The
CAUCASIAN and other reform papers
to be put into the hands of the voters
of the State to make victory certain.
Therefore | wish to call upon every
subscriber Of THE CAUCASIAN and
every friend Of the reforms for which
the forty Fopulist members Of the leg
islature stood with unflinching cOur
age IN the last legislature to at once
exert themselves to put The CAUcA-
SIAN or some good Popuiist paper into
every household in the State il posi-
BILE. Yours for the right and in the
fight,

TOE LOCAL SCHOOL TAX.

On Tuesday an election was held 10
every township in the State to decide
whether or not that township wante d
and would provide fer better aud
longer schools. At this writing we
have not been able to learn how many
townships have had the wisdom to
seize this the only opportunity of
building up and improving oIr public
schools. The rate OF general taxation
in North Carolina for public schools il
now about as high "a it i, in any O. her
State in the Union, yet North Carolina
is at the bottom of The scale in educa-
ton. The States that have outstripped
US in public education have done it by
the local taxation system. Every
township that was wise enough to vote
this local tax on Tuesday will, in the
future, have public schools three times
as good as they now have. That is:
for every dollar that they voted to tax
themselves they will in feet get the
bentfis of three dollars. Let Us zee
Suppose ctr.sin township now has
two hundred d, liars for public schools,
raistd under the general pchool TAX.
Ii this t. wnship voted for Especial tax
90 Tuesday OF say Two hundred dol
lars, then the State will give to that
township in addition the same amount

TINE WAY To KILL AND PREVENT
TRUSS.

Every body is talking about trusts.
They are such greedy, cruel, relent-
less and crushing monsters that even
the shameless goldbug does not dare
to defend them. The greedy and hell.
Ish tyranny of modern trusts is so
glaring that every one, with few eX-
ceptiOns, is crying out, "Down with
trusts! !" Trusts are SO odiOus that even
their agents, sIrvants and hireli ngs
publicly join in deDouncing them to
call attention from their efforts to
serve trusts secretly and under cover
Every real Christian and good citizen
is alarmed at the thr satening, disss-
trOus and growing evil of trusts, but
SO far not one has applied remedy.
So far the righJ cure for the eating aud
corrupting cancer on the body poll
tic has not been applied. Cleveland
and Mckinley both denounce trusts,
and yet both were elected by the trusts
b 9TH served the trusts. The politi-
cal doctors of both the old parties have
been applying mild and worthless
sslves (snti.trust laws, so-cslled) to
these cancers. Doctor Republican ap-
piled his salve of the Sherman anti
trust law brand, which was worse than
foolish Doctor Democrat applied his
naive OF the Morgan antitrust law
brand - tail to the Wilson bill, which
WAS weak and worthless. In the mean
time the cancer spreads and grows
moro aggravated, and the patient gsts

LET THE OOLDBU0S CRACK THIS NUT.
Every Republican and monopoly or
gan is pointing to the good crops in
this country and the short crops in
India and other countries which have
been our worst competitors and say
ing that now the price of farm
products would rise and prosperity
would come. They have the cheek
to try to claim the credit for this for
the Republican party and the tariff.

to b, relieved OF competition from

that would relieve US of the disadvan-
tage we suffer in competing with
India when she makes . good crop:
Free silver for the American farmer

cept when our competitors fail to
make q crop. Let the goldbugs crack

WHO OWNS THE STATE?

The Railroad Commission in Georgia
has refused to make fair, just reduc-
ton in railroad rates. Two of the
commissioners "a majority stood with
the railroads. 1t looks very much like
the railroads own the commission. We
have about the same situation in North
Carolina, and IL looks like the Southern
Railroad has a prior lien in both
States. The Southern Railroad cap
tured the last Legislature by a major
ity of one in both houses.
Tho Railroad Commission has not
done its duty, neither on the question
of rates nor on the assessment of rail-
road property. The people must elect
a legislature to do what they refused to
&C. Ihey must elect another legisla-
ture like the Alliance legislature of
1891 "a Legislature that is right and one
that can not be bought after it gets to
Raleigh. The people must pledge every
candidate for the legislature on every
stump. The Peoples Party will see to
it that there is an honest and true can
didate in every county and district in
the State. The voters must defeat any
candidate who is wrong or about
whose position and courage there is
the least doubt.
The great reforms for which the
faithful and heroic forty Populists
stood like stone wall in the last leg
islature are the issues on which the
next legislature must be elected. These
forty POpulists, after being subjected
to the greatest pressure and temptation
ever seen in any legislature, proved to
be as true as steel. Let the good PEG.
pie of all parties join in send.
ing every one Of these forty men back
to the legislature, and also the few
Democratic and Republican mem.
bers who stood true and enough
more just such men to make ma
jority in both houses, and then the
people will have a legislature that car
not be bought-a legislature that will
have the wisdom and the courage to d.
what Ia necessary and just. This car
be done-it must be done. Let the
fight begin now. The Peoples Party
will join hands in the fight with any
party or faction of any party or partie;
that will fight for these reforms; it viii
fight any party or faction of a party
that sides with the monopolies ant
trusts against the people. If no Other
party will join hands with us in thu
light, then we will q ght with redoublet
energy in the middle of the road ant
appeal to every good citizen to com,
to the rescue. The coming fight viii
determ,ue whether or not the monopo
lies are toown the State.

THE ELECTION OF U. q JUDGES By
THE PEOPLE.

State after State, nearly every State,
has changed the mode of selecting its
judges from life appointments by the
Governor, or legislature, to the cleo
ton b. the people for term of years.
There must be good reason, nay strong
reasone, for charge that has been 20
general. Can there be any reason why
it should not also take place As to the
United States judges? II the people
should elect the s ate judges, why
should they mt elect the United
States judges. Why not?
The United States courts have he
come almoat solely pcorpora' ion courts
Huge corporations organized in other
States come into our State and do husi-
ness here purely BY o"r oourtesy. They
have no strict legal right cooperate

We fear, however, that many town
ships, through . misunderstanding,
have failed to seize this great oppof-
tunity. Other townships We fear have
been fooled aud misled BY certain
machine politicians and caused to vote
down the proposition. There is Ger
tain stripe Of politicians in this State
who would be willing to condemn the
children of the State to ignorance for
ever, il thereby they could gain party
and political advantage for themselves.
These politicians fret cried out
against the local school tax and
claimed that it WAS unconstitutional.
| Next they said it would be a good
thing to adopt il the Democrats were
| in power, but that it would not do to
adopt it and let the Populists get the
credit for it. Next they tried to atart
a scare to the effect that every man
who did not pay his taxes by certain
day would be imprisoned, and then ap-
pealed to the voter not to vote this spec
ial school tax and run the risk Of beipe
put in the penitentia-y IL he could not
pay 1T. by q certain day. We have nc
words that will express our contempt
for a politician 50 narrow, low, and
mean. Such q man is dangerous and
cannot be trusted. He would barter
the States honor and the peoples lib
erty for party advantage.
| We publish in another column
speech made by DR.. McIver last week

this local tax for public schools. 1t is
powerful and unanswerable argument
Let every voter read it and study it
We regret that this speech was moi
made sooner so that it could have hat
wide circulation before the election
on Tuesday. We publish it now be-
cause this fight for better public
schools through local taxation has JUS
begun.
Every township that has adopted thu
system will be pleased with it, ant
will make progress and advancement
over the other townships. Sooner OF
later every township in the State viii
adopt this system. We must do it Of
never have any better public schools
We must have better public schools OF
