DONE TO FORCE NEGROES AMI
ALL TO VOTE WITH JOE DAN
IELS.

In the last issue of THE CAUCAs-
IAN, we asked the question, "What
will they do now ?" and had refer
ence to that class Of good men in the
Democratic party who had voted for
the Constitutional Amendment,
thinking that its adoption would do
what the Democratic speakers and
papers said it would do, namely :
eliminate the negro from politics and
settle the negro question, and thus
emancipate the white man. In that
editorial we stated that we did not
believe that it was the purpose ofthe
machine element OF the Democratic
party to eliminate the negro from
politics and settle the negro ques-
ton, and thus deprive themselves OF
the only issue upon which they could
possibly win in any future campaign.
In Sundays News and Observer
there is the proof. 1t says:
"There are those who believe that
after the Amendment goes into Cd
Grafton in '9O2, there will be q
strong and respectable Republican.
parry in North Carolina. Upon what
is that assumption based? In South
Carolina, Louisiana. and Mississippi,
the elimination of the negro vote.
practically eliminated the Republi-
can party. I, ought to have the
same effect in North Carolina, and
except In certain counties will have
that effect the Democratic party j.
true to its professions anu is wise and
just" In Louisiana and
other Southern States, the passage OF
The Amendment has had the effec,
of causing Republicans and Populist>
to Join the democratic party. In
those States, whatever the Democrat
il primaries decree is done. The pri-
maries are largely attended, and af
ter it registers the peoples will, the
election does not create much inter-
est. In order to have a voice in
public matters, therefore, there il
every incentive to Republicans ana
P"pulists to join the Democratic Par
ty, thus joining better party as
we'll as Obtaining potent voice in
public affairs. It should be so here
in North Carolina; it will be SO
here"
IF the News and Observers expec-
tations are realized, what will Broth
er Bailey, Of the Biblical Recorder
do? And what will the Democrats
who want to leave the Democratic
party, aud who voted for the amend
ment for that reason, do? and what

"FOR GODS SAKE REDUCE IT."
We are Informed that on the
night of the election that Simmons
henchmen in Halifax wired him as
follows: "Halifax gone Democratic
by five thousand majority" Where
upon, we are further informed, the
said Simmons wired back in great
haste: "FOr Gods sake reduce that
majority" And it appears from
from the Democratic reports that it
was reduced to an even thousand.
Such excessive mOdesty surprises us.
They might consistently have taken
it by as large a majority $4,000 as
hey gave to George White two
years ago, when they carried their
legislative ticket by the same vote.

defensive. against the Filipinos as peo-
pie. The Filipinos number probably ten
millions Of people and two millions Of
men capable Of bearing arms. II they
were united in war against US, the little
army which we have there would scarce
ly be a circumstance in their way. But
the majority of the Filipinos are quiet,
docile people, not disposed. to fight and
not engaged in the instruction now prac-
tically quelled. Aguihaldo had compar-
atively few supporters outside OF his own
tribe, the Tagalogs, who comprise prob
ably one-tenth of the whole mass Of Fill
pinos. He, in his mad effort for abso-
lutte rule, attacked the forces Of the Unit
ed States, and we were compelled to quell
the instruction.
3. The United States troops are in the
Philippines for the protection OF the peo-
pie from murder, rapine and misrule, and
for the preservation Of law, order and
property rights. For many years there
have been robber bands in the mountains
who would from time to time light down
upon the villages and rob and murder the
people. The Spaniards paid no attention
TO the interior. but protected only the
coast. Last spring one of these bands
attacked Filipino village and, in addi-
ton to the robbery and killing. carried
away thirty Filipino women to the hills.
Two companies Of United States soldiers
pursued them, attacked and dispersed the
band, and restored the women to their
friends. We are bringing to these islands
true liberty, Liberty protected by law
4. The possession and control OF these
islands came to US providentially, unex-
pectedly and unsought. They are ours
by treaty, and a treaty which Mr.. Bry-
an approved. We are responsible to the
nations of the earth and to the Judge
Of all the earth for their care. We ac-
cept the responsibility in the fear of God
and the love of humanity. I may not live
to see it, my boy, but if you live twenty
years you will see the most marvellous
development in the worlds history in the
Philippines. Good roads. good schools,
the development Of agriculture, manufac-
lures and mining. the Introduction Of
American push and energy among the
people, railroads. and a hundred other
means Of transformation. You will see
there twenty millions Of contented and
prosperous people who will rejoice in
their liberty and their privileges and be
proud of their relations to the greatest
Of all nations, the United States Of Amer
lea. And then, my boy, every Democrat
was in favor Of that thing and that he
was ever an expansionist of the first
water. YOUR FATHER.

of it. Mr.. Bryan is schmart man
enough, but I kvit him for the sake Of

kvit him more. He says he was right
then and the people wrong, and that lie
is right now and the good people must
now apologize by electing him President.
The other fellows in the convention at
Kansas City have not so much faith, but
they have hopes, so they compromise

GERMAN INDEPENDENCE.
A very nice talking man called on my
father one day to enkvire for sheep and
calves to buy. They soon struck bar
gain in which he was to pay twenty dol
lars for two calves and six sheep. That
was before greenbacks. He offered my
father twenty dollar bill, but as he was
afraid of wild cat money" there was
plenty of it in those days. my father said
he wanted hard money. After much nice
talk from the man my father said: "No,
I rather have the sheep and calves"
Then the man went on with his fine talk
and complimented the Germans, saying
pleasant things about the German indie
pendence of character"
So they were about to part on friendly
terms when the dealer took an awful
kvick fancy to one of our horses. Pretty
soon bargain was struck for one hun
dred dollars. When the buyer came to
pay, however, he pulled out eighty dol
lars in silver and gold and that same
twenty dollar bill. Then there was talk
till you couldn't rest. but my father said
at last: "No, / rather have the horse"
The stranger answered: well, I give
you my note for the bill" but my father
