"The enemy evacuated their strong po-
sition during the night and have retired to
the eastward. Buffers forces and mine
have afforded each other mutual assistance.
Our occupation of Pretoria caused num-
bers of the Beers to withdraw from

the town and district of Wakkerstroom.
which the enemy is believed to have com
pletely evacuated.
Methuen has advanced to Honingspruit
and found all quiet. Kroonstad is strong
~ held. Methuen has returned to Rhenos-
ter river, where the railway is being re-
paired. We were engaged all day with
Botha's army. The enemy fought with
considerable determination and held our
cavalry on both TANKS, but Hamilton, as
sisted by the guards brigade of Pole Ca
rew's division, pushing forward, took the
hill in his front, which caused the enemy
to fall back on their second position to the
eastward. This they are still holding. 1t
is slightly higher than the one we have
captured. The great extent of country
which has to be covered under modern
conditions of warfare renders progress very
slow. Details of the casualties have not
yet been received, but it is understood that
they are moderate in numbers. The only
further casualties reported to date are two
officers wounded.

Can Prohibit Negroes From Holding Of
of the United States.
Editor CAUCASIAN
Continuing my discussion of the
Amendment and the su bstitute there
for, which | propose, namely: to pro-
hiblt negroes from holding any Of
fee within the GIFT of the people of
North Carolina. will quote further
from the debates in Congress on the
Suffrage Amendment" which will
prove beyond doubt, that State can
ingraft in it's constitution section
prohibiting negroes from holding of
6ce without violating the Const1tu-
ton of the United States.
Inasmuch IS the race question IS
still perplexing problem in the pol
tiles of the South, it therefore be-
hooves US to consider the question
deliberately, thoughtfully, dispas-
sionately and in a staresmanlike
manner, and thereby endeavor to ar
rive at some satisfactory and perma-
nent solution of it.
The conditions of the South now
are very interesting and peculiar and
if we can present a plan that will
forever remove the race issue from
political discussion the day is certain
to come in the near future when men
will "break ranks" and form new
political align ments.
] earnestly believe that the pres
emit bugbearCD of "negro domino
tiOn,' that the demagogue and trick
ster delight TO howl, could never
again "mOlest or make afraid" any
partisan or CLASH of our people if no
negro could hold any political Office.
Therefore, in my judgment it is the
height of wisdom to restrict the Of
ice-holding class. 1t is interesting
to recall in this connection that there
was provision in the New Hamp-
shirt Constitution up to 1876 which
prohibited all men of the Roman
Catholic faith from holding Office,
aud a similar provision was in the
North Carolina Constitution until
1885, therefore, if one could be pro-
hibited from holding office on &C.
count of his religious faith he could
likewise be rohibited on account Of
his color.
Now, | will proceed to quote from
the debates in CONGRESS on the right
20 vote and hold Office.
In the Congressional Globe, page
l 629, part 3rd third session, 40th Con.
gre S., quote from Senator Sawyer,
who was discussing the proposition
to "vote and hold Office"

There seems to be a general i'm
preston in eastern newspaper Off
ces and eastern political headquar-
terS that the western Populist is n
long-whiskered, ignorant, fanatical
and impractical man, who is a Pop
ulist because he wants to remedy
y social conditions, but does not
know how to go about the task.
These mistaken estimates of the
PopuliSt would be speedily remov-
ed il some of the editors and politi-
ians from the east would come
vest and undertake to hold joint
debates with the Populists of Ne
braska, whose hands are cal
loused and whose skins are tanned
by Nebraska sun and wind. 1t is
not hard to find proof tha' short
crops and hard times had little or
nothing to do with the growth of
populiSm in the west. The Popu-
list party made IT'S first great show
y
west had good crops and fair prices.
The Populist party won in the Ne
braska cleo ions Of 1894, 1896 aud
1898, and crops were good in those
years and the prices up to the av-
erage of a series Of years What,
then, caused the growth of Popu-
ism?
BY their flresides during the
long winter evening" the farmers
of the west read and studied polit.-
cal history.
They noted the steady and con
slant drifting away from the ole
landmarks; they noted the steady
drifting of power naturally belong.

money gamblers.
They read history and compared
the principal laid down by the
founders with the principals being
acted upon by the men who had as
sumed control of the government
and by the comparison they saw
the dangers ahead. Like patriots
they protested, and when 10 heed
was given to their protests they
organized and sought to secure a.
the ballot box and return to frs
principles. True it is that many
men looked upon as fanatics, Join

Editor CAUCASIAN.
| noticed that an extract was
made last week from the Clinton
edition OF THE CAUCAsr An to the
effect that u considerable mum Der
of negroes had very recently left
that section Of the State for the
turpentine sections of Georgia
or course, it is no surprise that
negroes should leave the State
since they were murdered and
driven away after the last election
by the Democratic red-shirt mob,
but those who will be troubled
about securing labor, il the emf
grafton movement becomes gen
eral, will be the ones who are en-
gagged in farming, and who are de-
pendent on the negroes for II Zip to
cultivate the CrOpS-and not the
, Iemocratic "nigger bowling" p)li-
, ticians who would, to satisfy their
greed for office, drive all the ne
lgroes out OF the State.
y 1t was the Farmers Alliance
Legislature OF 1891, representing
the vital and material interests Of
the farmers, that passed law, in
Incidence to the overwhelming
cen iment of the farmers, to pro-
nibit emigrant agents from taking
Our labor from the State
The last Legislature, which rep
scented all the elements antagO-
Isl to the farmers, repealed the
6m igtation law, and 'nOw these
o8ents can return at any time, and
Ike away our labor.
|M If this movement is started
'ngain, as it was in 1890 it would
not take long for all of the best Ia
porers to leave the State, and then
the farmers in the eastern section
lof the state, where cotton is such
AN important crop, would be in a
Sdeplorable condition. However,
lthe negroes cannot be blamed for
going to Georgia, since the LegiSla-
Iture Of that State very recently re-
fused to diSfra 1chise them by
adopting the North Carolina
amendment scheme. In Georgia
they will still have the right to
vote.
N If the emigration movement
Should become general, the farm
prs in Eastern North Carolina will
have to plac, Me blame where it

lature had not bealed the law

political crisis. Whether our national

supreme question confronting our Con-

But this consideration affects onIv
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less impcrt-

us that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health of our
people. Catarrh has already become a.
national curse. It's ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-haIf of
the people are affected by it. 1t has be-
come such serious matter that it has
passed the boundaries Of the medical
profession and become a national ones

congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and

Special Cor. to THE CAUCASIAN.
Congress reassembled on the 3rd
instant, after having taken two
weeks holiday. 1t was in session.
however, only on Wednesday and
Thursday, both branches adjourn
ing over until Monday, consequent
~ very little public business was
done.
The Committee on Privileges and
Elections in the Senate have made
an adverse report on the case of ex-
Senator Quay who was appointed
by the Governor of Pennsylvania,
after the Legislature failed to elect
n Senator. The vote in the commit
tee stood 4 to against recommend
ing fovorably his appointment.
Sentaor Burrows, Republican, voted
against Quay. This question has
been before the Senate frequently
and each time that body refused to
seat an appointee of Governor af-
ter the Legislature failed to elect.
The last time this question was
voted on was in 1898, when ex-Sen-
atOr COrbett of Oregon, was ap-
pointed to the Senate under SINH
lar circumstances, and the Senate
then by q vote of "a to - refused to
allow him to be seated.
The Elections Committee of the
Senate has also under consideration
now the case of Senator Clark Of
Montana, against whom charges Of
bribery have been made by some
of the leading politicians of that
State. 1t is alleged that Senator
Clark spent a great deal Of money
to procure his election. These
charges the Elections Committee
are now hearing.
The ball to be given by the North

will be present to aid the worthy
cause.
The financial bill was reported
to the Senate Thursday by Senator
Aldrich, chairman of the finance
committee, who made a speech on
the measure, urging its adoption
but it is believed that there will be
a prolonged discussion of the meas
ure, and probably many modifica.
