INQUIRY TAKES SERIOUS
TURN AS FACTS CONE OUT

for the immediate presentation Of the
rolls, records, etc, Of the bull pen. -
IL was agreed, hweVer, that General
Merriam and others be requested to
present any such papers when they are
heard.
When the open session was r ned
the testimony was soon interrupt by
another controversy. One of the -
tOrneys present in behalf Of the state
of Idaho occupied a seat near the head
of the table, and Mr.. Lentz referred TO
the outside coaching" which was 60
ing on. He also questioned the attor-
ney as 10 whom he represented. by
whom he was retained and what re-
tainer had been paid. The answer was
that Governor Steunenberg had given
him $3.50 check as a retainer. Then
the following collOquy occurred:
Some Warm Words.
Chairman Hull-What difference does
that make?
Mr.. Sulzer of New York-Don't be so
timid. Mr.. Chairman
Mr.. Stevens of Minnesota-There Is
such thing as decency.
Mr.. Sulzer-That may be.
Mr.. Stevens-You had better get
little OF it
Mr.. Dick of Ohio-I object to the in
sulting remark of the gentleman from
New York to the chairman.
Mr.. Sulzer-Never mind what you
want to do about it. l have my rights
here. You can rest assured of it.
The manner of the exchange showed
that the members were very much in
earnest.
The witness then went on with his
testimony. He told of the vileness Of
the barn where the men were first con-
fined, and Of the harsh treatment ac-
corded them.
At the afternoon session. the Witress
Cornell said he never heard an army
officer tell miners who had quit work
in the mines that he would put them
back al the point Of the bayonet If they
did not voluntarily resume work. The
military authorities, he said, were in
control and superior to the civil au-
thorities.

Upon the request Of Senator Raw

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY NOW

Since the election on Thursday,
many expressions come to our ears
from men who have in the past al
ways voted the Democratic ticket,
some declaring that they now intend
to vote as they please in the future,
some ever going so far as to say they
have now voted their last Demo-
cratic ticket. But the most signifi-
cant thing we have heard is from
parties who always have been Dem
ocrats and who expect to be in the
future, but who have stated that il
the Democratic leaders should at
tempt to raise the negro cry in the
future that they would then repudi-
ate such a party and such leaders.
We will not undertake at this time
to give list of the names of the
parties making the above statements,
and the outlook is that the number
will soon be so large that we could
not publish their names if we so de.
sired.

DENIAL OF ANOTHER THE RIGHT
BY LAW.
Not content with the denial Of the
ancient writ Of mandamus, the Leg
islature Of 1899 has been tampering
with QUO wARKANTo and Injunction.
Mandamus is the remedy where
the officer refuses to do his duty ac-
cording to law. A QUO wARRANTo
is proceeding by which his right
to an Office may be tried after he ha>
been indicted into it, and he may
also be enjoiuad in the action Of QUO
wARRANTo from unlawfuIly dis.
charging the duties of his office. But
in the Act of 1899, Chapter 33, this
act provides:
Section |. That in any civil &C
ton pending in any of the courts OF
this State wherein the title to any
Office is involved, the defendant be
ing in the possession of sail office
and discha,ging the duties thereof
shall continue therein pending sucl
action, and no judge shall make any
restraining order interfering witt
or enj0ining such officer in the pre-
misses; and such officer shall, not
withstanding any such orders, con
tinue to exercise the duties of suci
office pending such litigation, ant
receive the emOlument thereof.
Section 2. This act shall apply t,
existing suits.
Section 3. This act shall be il
force from and after its ratification
| Ratified the thirty first day o
January in the year of our L6r,

reader unlearned in the law, ma,
discover that it was all attempt t
hedge the only remedy left after tn

ton IS Of the Election Law.

WHY DON'T THEY DENOUNCF
THE GOVERNOR


When Governor Russell called out
the Governors Guard to go to Smith
field to quell the riot there, which
was instigated by lawless mob of
red shirts, led by lawyer Abel and
Solicitor Pou's clerk, Brooks, the
Democratic papers raised mighty
howl, and denounced the Governor
for what they said was an unlawful
act. They charge that the Governor
should not have sent troops to Smith
field, no matter how great the riot
and blood shed, until the sheriff had
called upon him to do so.
On last Saturday night some plain
Democratic citizens of Pamlico coun-
ty and Newberne wired Governor
Russell to send troops or Naval Re-
serv es over to BaybOro to protect the
thieving Democratic Board of Coun-
ty canvassers. The Fusion ticket
had carried the county by over 200
majority, When the news came
down stairs, an indignant public de-
nouneed them. Thieves are always
cowardly, and these towards feared
they would be severely handled, as
they knew they ought to be, so that
they sat trembling in their boots In
the court house for four or five hours,
afraid to come down and face an hon.
est people, whom they had robbed
of their votes. While they sat, they
sent telegram to Governor Russell
applying for troops to protect them
from the wrath and righteous indig-
nation of their own neighbors. The
sheriff did not wire for help. The
Governor ordered the Naval Re
serves to go to the scene, where the
towards sat trembling. Up to date
no Democratic paper has denounced
the Governor for this act. Why don't
they do it?

A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER DIS

The CAUCASIAN has received .
letter from one Of the most reliable
and substantial citizens Of Chatham
county living at Hackney, y. C.,
giving the following occurrence On
election day:
At that precinct q white man,
Mr.. Woodland Riddle, an old ex-
Confederate soldier, so years of age,
and crippled in one hand, went into
the voting booth with full fusion
and anti-amendment ticket in the
one hand that he could use and
asked the Democrat: judges of cleo
ton 10 deposit his bal OTIS for him In
the proper boxes. TIE judges de-
clined to do this and told him that
II he could not get his ballot In the
right boxes himself that he must
lose his vote. Whereupon the old
ex-Confederate soldier deposited all
Of his ballots In the amendment
box, saying: 81 put them all In
this box so that / will know that
one Of them i, In the right box and
that one against the amendment. A
few moments later a negro, Am

in his hand. He asked the Demo
cratic judges OF election TO IN Nv hin
the right boxes and to help him t
deposit his ballots correctly. The,

Evidently Josephus Daniels con-
ceives that he is the leader Of the
Democratic Party in North Carolina,
and that he Is in good odor with all
elements of that party. In this be
lieve he Is in error. In passing to

talking with Democrats here and
there in many places, have never
found one that would praise him, or
defend him without apology.

principles-personal courage and

There ara more Mckinley Demo

is drumming daily its one black

in North Carolina, the whole Popu-

OF course the State could he car
