There is no Office in the State that
IS more important at this time than
the Office Of Railway Commissioner.
1t IS one, too, that requires not only
ability, but the highest class of
courage. The monopolists have
boasted that they will control any
commission that is appointed. But
plenty of men can be found in the
State who know what is right and
who have the courage to do it, in
spite of tho combined monopoly in
0ueuce Of the United States. The
next State convention of the Peo-
pies Party should nominate two
such men and let them 60 on the
stump and canvass the State, and
toll the people where they stand, be-
fore they are elected.

NEBRASKA WILL NOT GINEUP.


The Nebraska Independent COM
menting upon the recent decision of
the nited States Supreme Court in
the "maximum freight rate" decision
says:
"There will be no halt in the fight
for lower railroad rates in Nebraska
until they are secured. If the cor
porations knew the strength Of senti-
ment among the great mass of people
on this point and their knowledge Of
the railroad problem they would pur..
sue q different course, The mass OF
people do not want to "cOnfiscate'
any property. They simply insist
that railroads must become public
servants and furnish the public service
without discrimination against per.
sons or places and at rates cOmmensu
rate with the average returns from
other lines of industry. III the cor
porations will do this it is we'll. l
they won't the people will find mean
TO make them do it or will take pos
session of the roads at the price the!
are worth-not at all at what they ar
capitalized.
Well and bravely spoken. We ad
mire that kind Of grit. But Commits
sioner Caldwell says, mo let US Civ

Commissioner Caldwell, you ar
wrong. There is something to matte

Chatham Record.
The Supreme Court on last Tues
day, decided the "bankn suit from
this county in favor Of the plaintiff.
This is an unusually important
case, involving the liability OF
directors of national banks.
1t is an action brought by Mrs,
Sophia A. Houston, of Ore Hill,
against Frank w. Thornton and
others, as directors of the PeOples's
Bank of Fayetteville which failed
and went into the hands of a re-
ceiver in January, 1891. The
plaintiff alleged that by the false
statements of the banks condition
published by the defendants, she
was influenced to buy eleven shares
of the capital stock Of the bank,
which stock became worthless
through the gross negligence
of the defendants. The case was
tried at the last fall term of Chat.
ham Superior Court, and judge
ment was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff for the full amount she
had paid for the Stock and interest
thereon.
From this judgment the defend
ants appealed to the Supreme
Court, and tribunal has now affirm
ed the judgement and the plaintiff
will at last get her money.

coon FOR LOUISIANA.

The Constitutional Convention of
Louisiana which is now in session
has Just put provision into the or
ganic law of that State prohibiting
free passes. 1t not only prohibits
the railroads from giving free pass
es, but goes further and makes eve
ry State tffl ,ial liable to impeach-
ment who receives a pass from any
railroad within the State. We learn
from the Associated Press dispatches
that the railroad. lobbies fought this
provision vigorously. The railroads
know the power of free passes. They
have given them to nearly every
Judge, legislator, and other officials
in the State, and they know that they
have succeeded in in fl uencirg & nearly
every man who has accepted their
passes. The free pass has q strange
and mysterious influence. 1t costs
the railroads nothing to issue 1t, and
yet with it they can bribe Legislators
that could not be bribed with money,
The railroads use free passes not on
ly to corrupt judges and legislators.
but they use them to control conven'
tions and to get their tools and at
torneys nominated for ofi:e.
Louisiana has acted wisely. If th'
constitutional convention does moth
ing else it will have done more t.
ftee the legislatures of the STATE
from corrupting influence than any
thing else it could have done. LIE
North Carolina follow Louisiana
example.

of North Carolina Soldiers.
News and Observer.
After expending q great deal of
time and labor in collecting material,
Judge Avery has been very reluctantly
compelled, by pressure of other busi-
ness engagements, to give up writing
the history Of the North Carolina
troops during the Confederate var,
and to rescind his contract with the
Atlanta Publishing Company. He
abandons the work with much regret,
but he is unable to write the history
now without neglecting important
and profitable professional work.
The people of the State will regret
that Judge Avery's professional duties
compel him to give up this work. He
was one of the bravest men the State
sent to the front in the late war and
had peculiar fitness for furnishing to
posterity true and appreciative &C.
count of the valor of those brave men
who were first at Bethel; last at Ap.

Caldwell Confesses Too Much.

Webster's Weekly.l
l.. G. Caldwell, chairman of the
Railroad Commission, is catching
il on all sides for his mysterious
flop on the passenger rate question.
He voted with Commissioner Pear
son to reduce rates and a few days
later reversed himself, giving as
his reason the shameful confession
that "he voted against his better
judgment the first time] and fool
ishly yielded to the clamOr Of poll
ticians." lie says further that
there was no evidence to sustain
his vote, while the evidence on the
other side was overwhelming! II
Mr.. Caldwell's vote was backed by
an unworthy and demagOgic mo-
tive, what assurance have we that
the second was any better: His
own confession justifies the ques-
tion. 1t is a serious thing to take
an oath binding one to be absO-
lutely impartial and then confess
that said oath was wilfully vio-
lated. A judge making such a
confession would be impeached and
unfrocked. We cannot understand
how Governor Russell can retain
Caldwell after removing the Will
sons for a much less serious Of
fense. Caldwell rendered his res
ignation simultaneously with his
flop, but the Governor has not ac-
cepted it. Why this delay?
