North Carolina Cotton Crop.

The News and Observer in its
Sunday issue print letters from near
ly 200 correspondents in all sections
of the cotton belt of North Carolina,
answering questions as to the cotton
crop in the State, this year, as COM
pared with last years crop.
These letters show that the crop
of North Carolina this year is IS
1-12 per cent, of last years crop,
which will give 32S,O4O bales,
against $4,000 last year. There is
yet remaining in the fields, accord
ing to these correspondents, who are
all cotton-planters, manufacturers,
or buyers, 10 LIE per cent, of the
crop.
The reports show that the average
amount of lint cotton produced per
acre Is 141 1-3 pounds.
The News and Observer, in an
editorial, claims that 80 per cent.
of its information is based upon
actual knowledge, and only 10 pei
cent. on estimates.

THE DANGER OF THE MACHINE
BEING SEEN AND FELT. .

II DA NSEh or IN u uASNAHN -
BEING SEEN AND FELT.
A number of Democratic leaders
and Democratic newspapers have at
last walked up to the fact that the
Simmons redshirt machine is close
corporation and that the State gov
ernment is being run in the interest
of this close corporation regardless
of the interests or wishes of large
part of the party and regardless of
the welfare of the State. 1t Is q
great pity that they did not realize
this before they helped foist this
machine in power.
THE CAUCASIAN was one Of those
that warned these gentlemen long
ago that If ever the Simmons ma
chine got thoroughly intrenched in
power its tyranny and even its bal
lot box stuffing and unscrupclous
methods would be used against the
best element of the party as ruthless
ly as it was ever used against an
opposing party in . political cam
paign. We are gratified to see that
the danger to the States welfare II
being realized even at this late day
and trust that there may be such Ar
awakening from the mountains tt
the sea as will forever drive from
power such an inscriptions machine
as the one which Mr.. Simmons nov
absolutely dominates.

THE MACHINE AND JUDGE os-
HORNE.

bohNh.
The Simmons Daniels machine Is,
no doubt, much chagrined at the ap-
po'ntment Of Mr.. r. /. Osborne as
Judge of The ourt of Private Land
Claims to succeed the late Judge
Fuller. We are informed that Mr..
Simmons had telegraphed ell Of the
congressm N Of the state who could
be relied upon by the machine to
meet him In Washington and that
Mr.. Simmons was at the depot ready
to start to Washington to recon-
mend the machine candidate to the
President for this place when he
received the information that Mr..
Osborne had already been appointed.
OF course. the person whom Mr..
Simmons and his machine would
have recommended would have
been some man Of the kind Of Geo.
II. Whites man Mr.. Frank Win
ston. The candidate recommended
would, no doubt, have been one of
the hungry machine candidates who
were expecting to get an appoint
ment on the Supreme Court bench
if the Simmons machine had been
successful In convicting Judges
Furches and Douglas In the I'm
peachment trial. 1t 10 certain that
1t would never have favored Mr..
Osborne nor any one else who does
not stand In with the machine and
who at that time stood up for the
honor Of the State and the integrity
of the Judiciary by opposing the in
famous attack which Mr., Simmons
and his machine made on 1t In or
der to get places for their hench-
men.
If Mr.. Simmons had reached
Washington we believe the result
would have been the same. At any
rate the State Is to be congratulated
upon the appointment of man of
the ability and integrity of Mr.
Osborne.

SENATOR JOHN q. JONES OF NE

SENATOR JOHN y. JONES OF Me-
vADA.
The Charlotte Observer comments
upon the return of Senator Jones of
Nevada to the Bepublican party and
says that 1T Indicates that he has
changed his views on the money
question. In this the charlotte Oh
server is entirely wrong. Senator
Jones has always stood-and stands
now-for the quantItative theory,
that is, that the prosperity of the
country depends upon the quantity
of the circulating medium increaS-
ing with the increase OF population
and business. On all other ques-
tions Senator Jones has always bs n
a Republican.
Temporarily the money question
will be settled so long as the output
of gold furnishes the demand for
new money to keep up the supply
and ther. fore to keep prices from
falling. Whenever conditions shall
change and money shall grow scarce
and prices shall consequently begin
to fall the Charlotte Observer will
find Senator Jones of Nevada in the
front rank fighting for an increased
supply of money, and inasmuch q:
at that time there will be . scarcity
Of gold under the gold standard hi
will be advocating either the FREE
coinage of silver or more likely
legal tender greenbacks to make uI
the deficiency. The fact Is tina
Senator Jones has always stood fol
the issue of legal tender by the Gsv
ernment, increasing its quantity &C
cording to the demand so as K
maintain the stability Of prices ant
has always maintained that an,
other system of finance Is absurd
foolish and criminal.

The First Mckinley Monument.

ODlCdkO lTlUuuo.
The first Mckinley monument to
be ectei in the United States was
dedicated last Sunday. It is not so
elaborate as others that will rise in
the future. It is no stately arch, no
ornate mausOleum. It is plain
stone shaft eighteen feet high. 1t
cost only $4,000. But its speedy
erection speaks volumes for the af.
fection the poor and warm-hearted
people who contributed the money
had for their murdered President.
This monument stands in the little
town of Tower, in Northern Min
nesota. The men who subscribed
the money are mostly the iron ore
miners of the vicinity. They are
getting good wages now, but they
are overburdened with wealth.
Therefore the persons who had
charge of the erection of the monu-
ment were wise in not endeavoring
to collect more money and put up
more pretentious structure. They
cut their coat according to their
cloth. They did not try to do too
much and in doing 50 run the risk
Of accomplishing nothing. This
simple, inexpensive, and prompt
tribute to the memory of William
Mckinley. erected by working peo-
pie who'believed he had . warm
heart for them and had done much
to aid them, would give him keener
pleasure-if the dead could be pleas
ed by monuments-thsn any lordly
memorials in stone or bronze that
architects or sculptors may devise to
commemorate him.
