TIE CONSPIRACY STILL AT WORK.

Its reasonably certain that some
corporation and monopoly money was
contributed to try to control the recent
Populist Convention in this State, but
the conspiracy failed. The conspira-
tors, however, are still at work. Cor
poration and monopoly money will be
used to try to capture Populist conven.
tions in every Congressional and Ju-
dicial District, as we'll Is county and
senatorial conventions which nomi-
nate candidates for the legislature.
Federal patronage is also being dis
tributed wherever it can be used, and
especially in the first Congressional
District to control Populist conven-
lions. This is just the method that
has been adopted by monopolists to
corrupt the two old parties. The same
methods, precisely, are being worked
to corrupt the Peoples Party. Those
who bOlted their party In the last leg
islature and went over on the side Of
the gold standards and the Southern
Railroad will be put forward every
time that the monopolists can capture
a Peoples Party convention. Let ev-
cry true P0pulist be on guard.

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

Congress has 1t last passed the
bankruptcy bill. For years there has
been before Congress what Vas known
as the Torrey bankruptcy bill. This
was bill prepared especially in the
interest of the creditor class, and en-
abled the creditor to put the debtor
into bankruptcy against his will. The
House passed the Torrey bill; the Sem
ate refused to pass the bill with the
involuntary provision, but passed as .
substitute, bill with only . volun-
tary feature. The bill which has Just
passed 10 compromise between the
Senate bill and the House bill. 1t has
limited involuntary feature. 1t is 4
great improvement on the House bill,
but not near so good As the Senate
bill. Senator Nelson, the author of
the substitute passed by the Senate to
the Torrey bill, made carefully pre-
pared statement in the Senate q day
or two ago explaining the bill that has
passed. We will publish this state
ment in full in the next issue of THE
CAUCASIAN, which will give our read
ers clear idea of the provisions of
the law.
