1t that time and voted for the fesolu-
ton. Senator Allison vas . mem Der
Of the Senate and also voted for the
resolution.
But for twenty years every presi.
dent, whether q Democrat or . Repub-
lican, has not only violated existing
law, but ignored the declaration OF
Congress with reference TO the law
which makes IL the duty o: the execu-
tive department OF the government
to redeem government obligations in
either gold or silver at the option
OF the government: that II, on
terms most favorable to the gov.
eminent. That is each President bal
surrendered to the bondhciders II
option which has been worth millionl
upon millions to them and which ha
cost the taxpayers like amount.
The Offering of this resolution b.
Senator Teller has caused no littl
commotion among gold Democratic
among Republicans who are now gold
bugs but who were for silver whel
Stanley Matthews resolution was pas
sed, among that class Of Republican
who at heart are with the Admins
tration but who are trying to preten
; to be for silver in order to fool the
D constituents and get reelected, an
= also among that class OF Democrat
e who preteud to be for Bryan and silv'
: but who are secretly working wit
e Tammany to try TO shift or stradd
q ! the issue.
L A number OF able speeches ha'
+ been made on the resolution and Il
vote to- day will be watched with u
e usual interest, not or ~ by the who
O nation but by the whole world.

SHOULD ACT PROMPTLY.

THE CAUCASIAN has received a num-
Der of letters from various persons in
reference to the Hancock scandal and
the general sentiment expressed is,
that Gov. Russell should not delay an
investigation, and if the charges prove
true to Immediately remove Mr.. Han
cock from the Presidency of the North
Carolina Railroad.
The following is an extract from one
Of the many letters at hand:
"If Governor Russell does not act
promptly and in accord with all hon
est decent people in Newberne who de-
mand Hancock's removal at once, he
will lose all the favor he gained when
he Ousted the Wilson's.
This Hancock matter is a clear case
of the most shocking, immoral, and de.
grading rascality on the part of an Of.
fetal, that could be perpetrated on 8
community, and especially on a nice
girl, whose father is in the lunatic asy
lum at Washington, D. c., and which
adds insult even to the injured"

Two interesting Senatorial contests
are now going on. The Maryland leg
islature is ballotiDg for Senator to
succeed Senator German. The Repub-.
licans have a majority but there are
enough Republican boilers to prevent
the nominee Of the Republican eau
Gus from being elected. The dead
lock is a serious one to Republican
prospects.
The Tennessee legislature is also
balloting for United States Senator
with three candidates in the field
Congressman Mcmillan, Senator Tur.
ley, and Governor Taylor. 1t may be
some time before either one can secure
a ajority.

THE GOLD TRUST AND STATE BANKS
OF ISSUE.

THE GOLD TRUST AND STATE BANKS
OF ISSUE.
The New York Journal of Commerce
contains two significant editorials,
Size by side, one UNFOLDING and advo-
calilg the Gage currency bill, the pur-
pose of which, to quote Mr.. Cages
language is "to more thoroughly es-
tablish the gold standard;" the other
leading editorial III the same paper
advocating the re-establishment of
State Banks of issue.
The attention of the' Wilmington
Star and other silver papers which
have been recently clamoring more for
State Banks than they have for silver
Is respectfully called to this fact. The
gold trust wants to reduce the stand
ard money of the country to gold alone,
and then leave to the National and
State Banks the issue of paper money.
which will not be legal tender, but
all of which must be redeemed in gold
What the gold trust most opposes is
the issuing OF, our money direct by the
government, every dollar being full
legal tender! They oppose this be-
cause it would make the safest
soundest, and best financial system
possible.
What all honest and intelligent op.
ponents of the gold standard should
stand together and fight for, unfiinch'
ingly and without compromise, is the
free and unlimited coinage of bott
gold and silver at the present legal "a.
ito and without discrimination against
either, to be supplemented by lega
tender greenbacks when necessary tt
further increase the amount of lega
tender money in order to have the sup
ply of full legal tender money to IN
crease with the increase in population
and busin ,ss.

COMMISSION A FAILURE

Senator Wolcott's recent speech CIV
ing report of the work of the Bime-
tallic Commission of which he was
chairman, and the efforts to try to get
England and the other European cOun-
tries to Join us in international b:met-
allism, is a curiosity of the first water.
His statement of what the Commission
attempted to do and of the cold COM
fort and rebuffs they received every
where from the gold standard coun-
tries in Europe, and the further fact
that France, the only country that
seemed friendly, took the positive pO-
sition that it would not undertake any
international bimetallism with the
United States alone, but that some
leading European nations, including
England must join, convinced EVERY
one that international bimetallism was
impossible. Yet, after making these
admissions and positive statement of
facts, Senator WolcOtt had the cheek
to state the he has still great hopes of
success of an international bimetal-
lie agreement being secured at some
future time, though admits that there
| is no use of making further negOtia-
tions at present.
Another very curious thing is
that he charged that he would have
been more. successful had there
not been studied effort by
certain goldbugs in America 10 dis.
credit his efforts and to convince for
eign nations that this country did not
honestly want international bimetal-
lism. This statement so far was not
curious, because it is true and gener.
ally admitted to be true, but the curl.
Gus part is that he severely arraigned
Secretary Gage for being party te
this scheme to make his mission fail
ure and then in the same breath sale
that the President acted in good faiti
and upheld his hands, and that thu
President was as strong bimetallist a
he was. II this is so why does Mr.. Nc
Kinley keep goldbug who Is at vari
ance with him on the most importan
, question before the people in his Cabi
net, and especially when that Cabine
, officer Extensively uses his goldbul
r views to discredit and make a failur
of the bimetallic commission that tn
= President appointed and sent to Eu
. rope OF course Mr.. Mckinley ca
q put Mr.. Gage out of his Cabinet in tel
Y minutes.
$ Mr.. Wolcott seems to have overlook
y ed the-fact that Mr.. Mckinley sent
message to Congress while the Com
mission was in Europe. in which mes
e sage he spoke approvingly of the rec
concentrations of the goldbug Indian
! apolis Monetary Conference.

ANOTHER MONOPOLY JUDGE ON THE
SUPREME COURT BENCH.

For years evidence has been multi
plying and accommodating to prove that
Jefferson's predictions and warnings
about the Supreme Court were more
than justified. Our forefathers fought
. desperate struggle to take from
their neck and that of their PROSPERITY
the yoke of tyranny and to put stop
to unjust taxation, a stop to king
made and court-made laws, to re-en-
throne liberty, and to establish agov-
eminent that should be based on the
consent of the governed. Their wis
dom in accomplishing so greatan I'M

lenged the admiration of the world.

ONE LIE LEADS TO ANOTHER.

A few weeks ago the News and OBJ
server published horrible tale of fu-
sion incompetency and great scandal
to the State. The victim of this mali
ciOus lie was Prof. f. G. Butler, Bursar
at the A. & NJ. College. 1t was claimed
that his books were all in a mess and
that there was discrepancy of $1,000,
though the News and Observer cor
sected that part of it by saying it was
typographical error an only $500
dollars short. An evening paper
interviewed member of the FL
nance Committee and published a
statement showing the falsity of the
News and Observers article. In the
issue of the 18Th, The CAUCASIAN
printed in parallel columns both the
News and Observer and the Press-Vis.
itOr articles.
On Sunday the 23d, inst. the News
and Observer again touched upon thu
subject and stated that DR.. B. F. Dixon
a member of the Finance Commute,
gave it the information upon which
the base SANDER was founded. DR.. B
F. Dixon is known throughout Nortl
Carolina as an eminent divine and ,
gentleman of the highest integrity ant
pr0bity.
But this scandle-monger sheet which
will Islander one person would not hes
itate to SANDER its own friends to gail
