only a part, Is rather a lengthy

only a part, Is rather a lengthy
document and sets forth many OBJ
ject lessons Of Senat orial dead-locks
in other states. The call, however,
failed to take into account that IL
there had been no dead-locks and
failures to elect Senators In a num-
Der Of states, that still the evils OF
the present method and the evil ef-
fects upon the Senate would have
been just as great. The million
aires and the tools OF railroads who
have managed to get elected are
probably more striking object les
sons than are the legislatures that
dead-locked and failed to elect at
all. Nearly every man elected to
the Senate by legislatures during
the past winter have been million
aires who have made their money
through trusts and monopolies, or
are the attorneys OF railroads who
are predjudiced in favor Of trusts
and monopOlies and more and more
incapable Of seeing both sides of ev-
cry question between the people
and monOpOlies, and, therefore, to
that extent, incapable of legisla-
ting for the public good. Indeed,
it seems that the railroad trusts
made most extraordinary effort
in tho last campaign and during
the session Of the recent Legislature,
to pack the Senate with men who
will stand as the special champions
OF the railroad interests.
There is another great evil that
effects each state, which should not
be overlooked, and that is the con-
tests in the various legislatures
over the election of Senators de-
mOralizes the whole session Of the
legislature and not only prevents
the attention Of members Of the
legislature being given to the i'm
portant business of the State legis-
lation, but results in the enactment
OF a great deal of bad legislation,
the kind desired by the monopolies
in the various states. If million
aire corrupts a legislator to try to
get elected, or if the monopolies and
trusts try to corrupt the legisla-
lures in order to elect one of their
tools, then the members who are
corrupted for this purpose, will al
ways be found voting for any and
every piece Of legislation that the
monopolies and trusts wish to pass
through the legislature.
The quicker Senators can be cleo
ted by the people the better it will
be for the country.

1t is expressibly sad, this warfare
in the PHILIPPINES. Sad, not Only be-
cause of the resultant sorrow and be-
reavement in tie homes of so many
American soldier boys and of the
greater desolation and destruction
which our soldiers have been forced
to visit upon the homes and lives,
humble though they may be, yet
dear to them, of the people of those
far off islands; but it is equally sad,
and of far more baneful effect, in
that while we are making physical
war upon the Filipinos we are at the
same time waging moral warfare
against the high ideals toward which
our government has always strIven
and the striving for which has made
it one of the most civilized and hu-

troll HERE.
The Nebraska Non-Conformist, in
a recent editorial, says:
ga little band of distinguished
Democrats who worship the corpor-
ations and damn the people had a
meeting in Omaha the other day
for the purpose Of galvanizing into
life political corpse which had
been much better buried. They re-
solved that they would not fuse
with the populists. There is one
parallel case to this patriotic utter
ance. Satan and the other rebel
lious angels, after they were thrown
over the battlements of heaven and
were landed in hell, called a gold
bug Democratic convention and re-
solved that they wouldn't fuse with
the angels Of God and man-and
they haven't"
The only difference between the
gold-bug and monopoly Democrats
of Nebraska, referred to in the
above paragraph, and the gold-bug
and monopoly Democrats of North
Carolina is that in Nebraska they
are not only in the minority but
also failed to control the Demo-
cratic State Convention and there
fore bolted the party. In North
Carolina they are also in the mi
nority, but notwithstanding this
they managed to control the last
Democratic State Convention so
controlling the Democratic State
Convention they repudiated the
advice of Bryan and acted just like
the boiling gold Democrats in Ne
braska are now acting. Wherever
you find a gold or monopoly Demo-
crat or free silver hypocrite, he is
opposed to cooperating with the
Peoples Party, and, in fact, looks
upon the Peoples Party as the
greatest enemy of mankind and
considers it his mission to try to
destroy the party. Wherever you

THE NEW BULL-PeN ELECTION LAW

It's Provisions AS Int-rnre,ed by . l. aiding
Democratic Paper.
The recent Legislature repeaied
the non-partisan election laws of
1895 and 1897, which guaranteed to
every party the right to be represen-
ted on election boards by election
officers of their own choosing, and
enacted an election law more vicious
than infamous Simmons Bull-Pep
Election law that was in force before
1895.
The leading provisions of this law
as published by the Raleigh News &
Observer are as follows:
l. That the election for State and
county officers shall be held on the
first Thursday in August and every
two years thereafter.
2. That there shall be a State
board of elections composed of five
persons elected by the Legislature
for term of two years.
3. That there shall be a county
board of elections consisting of three
persons, appointed by State board
for a term of two years.
4. That tho State Board of elections
shall meet in Raleigh the FIRST Mon
day in May, 1899, and organize by
electing one of their number chair
man and another secretary. Another
meeting shall be held on the first
Monday in April in each election
year. Special meetings may be call
ed when necessary. For their services
the board shall receive four dollars
appoint all registrars and judges of
elections. Members of the county
boards may be removed by the State
board; and the county board in turn
may remove any registrar or judge
of election.
6. That county boards must meet
not later than the first Monday in
May for organization, and for divid-
ing the counties into precincts and
polling places.
z. That before the next general
election there shall be an entirely
new registration. Among questions
to be asked applicant is whether he

FOR THE ELECTION OF SENATOR'S ny
THE PEOPLE.


The following call, signed by
twenty-five or thirty of the leading
Democrats of Virginia has lust
been issued:
10 such Democrats as hold to
the principle that the people are
fully capable of choosing their Sem
ators, who are willing to unite with
us In an effort to secure them that
cherished right, the invitation is
hereby extended to assemble in the
city OF Richmond on Thursday, the
18th day of May, 1899, for the pur-
pose OF adopting such measures as
may be deemed best to promote the
election OF Senators Of the United
States by the direct vote of the
people, and, until that result is &C
complished, the selection of party
Senatorial candidates by some pop
ular method"
This Is very significant, coming
from the conservative State of Vir-
ginia, where there have been very
few evils resulting from the cleo
ton OF Senators by the Legislature.
1t Is further significant from the
fact that Senator Daniels, who is
said to be the most popular man in
Virginia, and whose popula :ity in
that state almost equals Zeb Vance
popularity in this state|has always
been opposed to the election of Sem
ators by the people. The action of
these Democrats Is an encouraging
sign. 1t shows that the rank and
file OF the Democratic party are do
ing some intelligent thinking on
their own account. That they are
not blindly led by political lead
er, however popular he may be.
and however much confidence the
people may have in him. 1t shows
further that the people Of Virginia
have watched the evils attending
the present method of election of
Senators in other States; and that
they intelligently comprehend the
evil effect Of the present system
upon the personnel of the United
States Senate, and, therefore, upon
the country for which 1t legislates.

A PRINCIPLE AND A METHOD.

One Of the great fundamental prin-
ciples of good government as laid
down by Thomas J. fferson is as fol-
lows:
81 know Of no safe depository of
the unlimited powers Of society but
the people themselves"
my most earnest wish is to see the
Republican Democratic element of
popular control pushed to the maxi
mum Of its practical exercise, l shall
then believe that our government
may be pure and perpetual
cit should be remembered, as an
axiom Of eternal truth in politics,
that whatever power in any govern
ment is independent, is absolute 81
so; in theory only at first, while the
spirit of the people is up, but in prac-
tice as fast as that relaxes. indie
pendence can be trusted nowhere but
with the people in mass. They are
inherently independent of all but
moral law
There is but one method that THE
CAUCASIAN knows to put this great
Fundamental principle of good gov
ernmeut into living force and active
operation, and that is through the
method of direct legislation known
as the Initiative and Referendum.
In a recent issue The CAUCASIAN
showed that the New England town
meeting was the purest and best
form of Democrcy known, and that
in these town meetings, where the
whole public turn out and vote, this
principle of jefferson was carried
out completely, giving the best pos
sible city government with the great
est economy and with the greatest
efficiency without having any cor
ruption or any scandal. We further
showed that the people could get the
benefit of the New England town
meeting in state affairs by deserving
to themselves the right to pass upon
legislation enacted by their represent
tatives and further the right of pro-
posing legislation through the init
alive. Every Populist is for the in
itiative and referendum because he
believes IN a peoples government;
every Republican who stands near
est to the principles of Abraham
Lincoln is for it; the best and most
Democratic leaders who stand near
est to Thomas Jefferson are for it.
The monopolies and the trusts and
the gold syndicate are all against it.

A NEW AND WONDERFUL MOTIVE
LOWER.


LOWER.
A new motive power has recently
been invented, for which wonderful
results are claimed. 1t is generated
by condensing air under pressure
and coal until it becomes a LIQUID
like molten metal. While it has been
known for some time that air could
be reduced to a liquid under sufi-
cient pressure and coal, yet the
point in the recent invention is for
a moving train to gather up and con-
dense the air into liquid, and then,
by the evaporation of this liquid
back into air as water is evaporated
into steam, furnish the motive power
for running trains and for conden-
sing more air into liquid. In
as much as only a small per cent of
q gallon of liquid air is used in or
der to condense another gallon of
liquid air, thus leaving large part
of each gallon so condensed to be
used for the motive power of trains,
1t would seem that if this invention
pc q success that when once in oper-
alton it would perpetuate itself with
out the use of fire or any other
agency to generate heat. This would
be nothing more nor less than the
discovery of the means of perpetual
motion, which, under the laws of na-
ture so far known, is impossible.
hut it the invention is all that is
claimed for it, it will some day revo-
lutionize motive power and the world
with it.
