BUTLER SHOWS HIS HAND.

What Butler says or does amounts
to no more than what Malone mght
think if he were alive, but as addl-
tional evidence that he is carrying
out his trade with Hanna, we note
that in this weeks Caucasian he
charges Nthe Populist National Com
mittee with violating 1.-THE trust re-
posed in them by their constituents.
He adds that ''the rank and file of
the Populists, wherever self-respect
will permit them to do so, will con-
done this great crime against the or
ganization for the time being, and
will hold their nose and swallow Ste
yenson." AS to North Carolina, he
says many Populists ''will stay at
home en- election day" because they
will not vote for the Bryan and Ste
venson electors. He adds that hereaf-
ter the Populists will run "a straight
ticket for President and Vice-Presi-
dent.
This covert declaration against Bry-
an, for it is the same thing as de-
claraticn la Butler, surprises no.
body. 1t will not affect the vote. The
few Populists who followed Butler
in August will now see Buffers
treachery to the principles he pro-
fesses.

THE NEGRO IN THE CAMPAIGN.

The News and Observer is in per-
ty az the State Committee gave eX-
preston to Democratic sentiment last
night. In preparing its resolution on
the eligibility of electors in the Dem
ocratic primary, it was decided to
incorporate the word white so as to
exclude the possibility of any negro
taking part in the Senatorial prima-
ries. That proposition, made by MI.
London, was adopted with but one
dissenting vote-that of Col. Paul Il.
Means. Immediately after that ac-
ton. Col. Paul B. Means offered this
resolutions:
"Resolved, That the insertion of the
word white" in the resolution about
primaries shall not be construed to
mean any justification of raising
apain the race issue in this State,
which we affirm again, as we did in
the last campaign, has been settled in
North Carolina
This resolution was tabled, every
member of the committee voting to
table except Col. Means.
What does the adoption of this res
olution mean?
The answer is easy. 1t means that
in the opinion of the State Democratic
Executive Committee a vote for Me-
Kinley is a vote for 81 negro post
masters i'm Eastern North Carolina,
and it ought to be criticized just as
severely as a vote for Butler and his
negro magistrates.
The negro question is not regarded
as the great issue or the paramount
issue, but so long as Mckinley APP
points negro postmasters in Southern
communities, it is an issue and can
not be eliminated until the Republi-
can party eliminates it by appointing
no more negroes to Federal office in
the South.
The Democratic party stands true
to White Supremacy in Federal as
well as State affairs.

d . y
A very unusual and delicate opera
ton was performed by an Ottumwa
physician upon young man who had
suffered an injury to his eye. The
young man is coal miner named
James Cathcaft, employed at the Glad
stone mines near Ottumwa, and while
engaged in using a steel wedge and
heavy sledge splinter of sharp steel
from the wedge entered his eye ex-
actly in the center of the corona. He
was conveyed to Ottumwa and placed
under the care of DR.. B. ID. La Force,
an expert oculist. The patient was
put in the operating chair and the
silver of steel removed by means of
a powerful magnet. The young man,
as result of the successful opera
ton, will regain the sight of the eye.
Physicians and oculists say that a
case of this kind is very unusual even
with oculists of national reputation.
