HOW "PoPULIsM Is PAssINF."

We congratulate the Waynesville
Courier upon being one of the first
Democratic papers to come out in
favor of government ownership of
railroads. In q recent editorial after
citing the advantages accruing to
the people of other countries which
own their own railway systems
(Which we publish elsewhere) the
Courier asks.
Who that is informed of these facts,
that can be authenticated, would not
favor government ownership?
And then winds up with the fol-
lowing very sensible statement:
Call it Popnlist doctrine if you want
to, but is Is good doctrine all the game
and it Is coming. Ii the railroads
continue forming themselves into
great grasping corporations and con-
tinue their policy of discrimination in
rates and accommodations it will only
bring about the result the quicker.
The Courier is right. The people
will soon force the question of gov
ernment ownership of railroads up
on the old line politicians VINO have
been trying to evade it, and when
the lines are squarely drawn there
will be very few outside of the rail-
road managers and those whom they
control who will be on the other side.
Yes, government ownership is COM
ing.

WHY. THEY CHANGE.

Croker is converted, OF at least
Croker says so. Before he sailed
for England some weeks ago, he
took pains to have il, understood
that he was an imperialist, and would
oppose Bryan in 1900. A few days
ago he returned and gives it out
that he Is now an anti-imperi allst
and for Bryan in 1900. OF course
this has set everybody to spcculat-
ing as to what has caused Croker's
flop. Everybody admits there must
be a cause.
The Charlotte Observer editorially
appoves the following Washington
Dispatch to the Philadelphia Record
giving it as its opinion also that this
is more probably the cause than any
thing else:
"Probably Mr.. Croker, like ex-Gov-
ernor Stone, of Missouri, and other
men who are supporting Mr.. Bryan
unwillingly, believes that Mr.. Bryan
will be defeated in the election, but
he may not consider this an unmixed
evil, since the Democratic hope is
for 1904, and by that time such
Democratic leaders want Mr.. Bryan
eliminated.
This may or may not be true with
reference to Mr.. Croker, but it is right
in line with what the CAUCASIAN has
all along predicted that; gold Demo.
Gratis would oppose Bryan in Con
vention unless there seemed nc
chance of his election and in that
case they would support him fol
nomination in order to eliminate hin
by defeat.
And certainly this is what the Oh
server would want done.

Government Ownership of Railroads..
Wagnesville Courier.

Government Ownership of Railroads..
Wagnesville Courier.
The average passenger fare IN the
German Empire, which has owned IFS
railways for more than fifty years, Is
less than one and one-ffth cents per
mile, and yet the statistics for the
Year 1890 show q net profit Of &1l9,
l59 TAT to the government from
operating the roads. The Austro-
Hungarian Empire carries passen-
gers at one third of I. cent p mile,
and the work is so profitable that it
will not be many years before the
profit on the railroads will pay all
expenses Of the government. In New
Zealand the cost Of railway travel is
about oIe-,hird Of cent per mile.
Who that is informed OF these
facts, that can be authenticated,
would not favor government owner
ship.
Call it Populist doctrine if you
want 10, but is good doctrine all the
same-and it Is coming. If the rail
roads continue forming themselves
into great grasping corr orations aud
continue their policy Of disorimina-
ton In rate accommodations it will
only bring about the result the

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.
r. B. DAVIS

The Anti-Ge ebelites Meet in Convention
and Nominate a Full STATE TIcket-Ex-
Gov Brown Named for GOvernOr-The
Fraudule.t Ele ction aw Denounced
the Democratic Party Split.
LEXINGTON. KY, Aug. 16.-The
anti Goebel Democrats met in con-
vention here this afternoon and
unanimously nomin ated ex-Gcvernor
John Young Brown for governor. 1t
was the largest Democratic conven-
ton ever held in Kentucky, with one
hundred counties represented by del
egates, and others had sent word
that tie boiling ticket would find a
hearty support.
The resolutions adopted after de-
claring that the nominees of the
Louisville convention We're not the
choice of the Democrats of Kentucky,
that the nominations had been Sc
cured by fraud, and therefore were
not entitled to support, endorsed the
Chicago platform and recognized
Bryan as their leader and choice for
the Presidential nomination in 1900
The Kentucky election law, Of
which Goebel, the regular Demo
cratic nominee was the author, and
after which the North Carolina cleo
ton law is modelled, has played no
small part in arousinp such a, strong
sentiment against Goebel in the
Democratic party. Elk Gov. Brown
in accepting the nomination said:
ut is to sustain your constitution,
to sustain your laws and the dignity
of Kentucky citizenship; 1t is to in
dictate the freedom of elections guar
anteed by our constitution, that |
accept your nomination tonight. l
consider it my duty to save my State
if can. from the impending degra-
dations that is proposed to be put
upon her. Prompted by my con-
science and my regard for the digni-
ty of Kentucky and American clti-
| zenship, I refuse to support the NOM
inees of the late so-called Democrat
ic convention"
There is no doubt of the earnest
ness Of the men composing This con-
vention, all of whom are Democrass
of lifelong standing to either force
Goebel to retire, or stay IN the fight
against him to the flush.

Twelve convicts escaped from the
penitentiary last Sunday night. Five
were Federal prisoners, two were
State prisoners, and five were coun-
ty prisoners. We make a note of
this, because there is something re-
msrkably surprising about it. Not
of course, that the convicts should
take it into their he ads to escape, and
did escape when the opportunity pre-
sented; but to US it is certainly most
astonishing that this opportunity
should have come under Democratic
management of the penitentiary.
Now, if they had made their escape
during the days of 'fusion incompe-
tency' it would of course have been
due to this ineompetency; but how
they were able to effect escape un-
der Democratic management seems
to US to be one of those mysteries
which passeth all understanding.

Municipal DIVINE rship.

Perhaps the managers of street
car lines would have more respect
for the rights of their employees if
they realized just what the strikes,
which incommode the public, will
lead to. Municipal ownership will
be the result if street car managers
do not make a charge IN their
tactics In discussing the s;rike
which are now on In Brooklyn and
Cleveland, the New York Journal
rightly says:

would follow. the 20 ], 900 employees

Occasionally we see IN the ole par

which is generally used for tie head
ing of such articles, towii: The
Passing of Populism. The wish is
father to the thought. Never be-
fore, since the doctrines Of the Peo-
pies Party were first proclaimed,
have they been so generally believed
in as now. And it is not the pass
ing of what they term populism that
is causing the opponents of demo-

as a supplement you will know why
it is that papers like the Charlotte

The Newbern Juornal and other

to attack Judge Clark as a "p uller

They base their attack upon the
claim that he slandered North Caro-
