THE JIM CROW CAR DODGE.

Since the election there has sprung
up a new issue that was not heard
of during the campaign or before.
IL is the proposed Jim Crow car
law. The Democrats ran their
campaign on the cry that the state
was cursed and disgraced and
damned with negro domination.
Since the election il seems that the
only remedial legislation that the
Democrats propose to get rid OF ne
gro domination is the jim Crow
car. They are now agitating this
question, and say it Is an awful
thing for negroes TO ride in the
same car with white people. 1t is
strange that it never occurred to
the Democrats during their TWEEN
ty-fve years of Democratic rule
that this kind of negro domination
was then in progress and was Just
rs offensive then rs it is now. One
would think, to see the concern
that the Democratic machine Is
showing over the Jim Grow car
proposition that the Peoples Par
ty was responsible for repeating
some Democratic law prohibiting
negroes to ride in railroad trains
with white people. The meaning
of all of this is that the Democrats
do not propose to call Constl'u-
tional Convention or meet The eX-
pectation of the people on the SUI
frage question, and therefore 1T Is
necessary to get up some dodge on
which to try to satisfy credulous
people that they are doing their
duty in stopping the supposed ne.
gro domination that they howled
so tremendously about in the cam.
paign. Now i'm order to make IT
appear that the machine has not
sold out completely to the rail,
roads they have arranged that the
railroad officials shall at Orc1 be
gin to declare that they are op
posed to the jim Grow car law,
and then the Charlotte Observer
and all the other railroad organs are
given the tin that they must al
once declare that the Democrat,
legislature will pass the Jim Grow
car law in spite of the opposition
of the railroads. 1t is sham iigh
and the Democratic monopoly pa
pers and the railroad Presidents
understand each other. The scheme
has been agreed on between then
and the farce is being carried on
with perfect understanding on botl
sides.

THE AMERICAN. SPANISH
SITUATION.

The American and Spanish
Peace Commissioners are still in
session in Paris, discussing the
terms of the peace treaty. Early
in the negotiations the Spanish
Commissioners officially agreed to
relinquish all pretence of sover-
eighty over Cuba, Porto Rico, and
in fact over every vestige of SOW
ereignity in any West India island,
and recently they have agreed to
rellnqulsh sovereignty over the
PHILIPPINE Islands for a considera-
ton of something like twenty mil
lion dollars. There are also rum
ors to the effect that the American
Commissioners propose to buy one
of the Caroline Islands, and prob
ably coaling stations in other
islands owned by Spain. If the
United States has met Spain in
war and conquered her, why is i,
necessary for us to spend twenty
million dollars to buy territory, we
have already conquered? If we
have not conquered Spain anc
have no right to the PHILIPPINES as
a conquest of war then why no
sign the peace negotiations ant
then proceed to buy land from
Spain or anybody else whereve
we can get spot most desirable
and cheapest9 There is a lot o
land lying about in the Atlantic

to buy lands let's buy that that

Contrary to the general opinion
of the State press, we do not con-
slider that the POpulist party has
ended it's existence because most of
it's members voted the Democratic
ticket in the recent election. We
look for great revival of Populism
in 1900, and nothing is more sure to
bring this about than the elimina-
ton of the negro from politics. That
Mr.. Bryan will be nominated by the
POpulists in advance of the meeting
of the Democratic convention is as
sure as tate. That his name, which
can rouse a frozen snake, will call

would be the quickest and most
effective way of getting rid of the

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.
Fayetteville Observer.

Fayetteville Observer.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution says that since
the publication Of Governor Jar.
viS's extracts from our North Caro-
lima constitution, it has been settled
that there will be no suffrage
amendment to our fundamental law.
1t is not stated who has settled
this mOmentQus question, in adj
vance of the meeting of the Legis-
lature. There is in our opinion an
overwhelming sentiment among the
Democratic masses in favor of set
Ting it by constitutional amend
ment, aud not by an election law
which may, possibly, enable party
manipulatOrs to control the will Of
the people.
In saying these things we are not
at all opposing such legislation as
is needed to remove the defects of
existing election and other laws.
That and the use of the Supreme
Courts decision in this relation to
ditferentiate the system of govern
ment OF the negro counties from
that of the white counties, are SUBJ
jects of immediate legislation which
we believe all factions OF the party
are agreed upon.
NOW WANT A MORE HUMANE WAY.

) We notice that the question OF
devising some way to limit the sui.
frage of the negro is extensively
discussed these days. The recent
, experience of the people Of North
Carolina teaches them that in that
unlimited and unrestricted right OF
suffrage exercised by the negro is a
grave danger residing to some day
threaten aud destroy.
How to restrict it is not a prob
lem for DEMOCRATS only to decide
but a serious question that appeals
} to every individual of the white
, race. 1t is more humane to pre-
2 vent domination by the negro by
this means of restricting his suf
r frage than by the deadly Winches

The Caucasian has received a
number of letters asking what the
Democrats will do for the railroads
in return for the big campaign
fund they put up. In reply we
will say that We think they will do
nothing. 1t is true that there are
a few pieces of legislation that the
railroads would like to have passed.
but the railroads contributed their
Immense campaign fund to the
Democratic machine to be let alone
The railroads were frightened to
death at the action of the last leg
islature when it came within one
vote of passing a bill reducing
freight and passenger rates to the
gold standard level, and the Wis
consin statute to prevent the re
moval of causes to federal courts
They contributed their barrel O.
money to the Democrats on the
pledge from the Democratic ma
chine that such legislation as Thu
should not be passed if the Demo
Gratis carried the state. 1t would
be heartless and cruel for the rail
loads to demand that the Democrat
ic legislature should give them any
affirmative legislation. They SHOULD
be thoroughly satisfied to let mat
tiers stand as they are. The railroad
are making tremendous profit
while the people are facing hare
times and bankruptcy. Surely tn
railroads would not ask for thei
rates to be raised all they want i
not to have them reduced. It i
worth over two million dollars
year to the railroads to be lie
alone. We don't know how mucl
the railroads contributed. to tn

they could have contributed tw
million dollars and still max
