The Opinion of The Editor and the Opinion of Others which we Can Endorse on the Various Topics of the Day. "THE (UNFORTUNATE) CAUCASIAN." The Caucasian is unfortunate. We asked it 10 do us the favor of pri'd ing a reply we made to one of its questions. Doubtless The Caucasian intended to do it, but it didn't. It says "the following is the News and Observer's answer to our inquiry " and then prints an extract from this raper about a different matter. Cer tainly the slip wasunintent:onaU'nd we suggest that our contemporary can straighten matters in its next issue. On a former occasion The Cauca sian unfortunately made an odd mis take when publishing something that we asked it to print; but we know that mistakes are easily made in newspaper offices. News and Ob server, Detvn.ber 5th. vVe ventuce to remin 1 The Cau casian of its unfortunate mistake with the view of having it correct ed. News and Observer, Dec. nth. ho sympathy of the News a-:d Observer for The Caucasian is rather ill-timed; but if to champion the people's cause', to search for truth and facts with which to sup port their demands is unfortunate, then Tm: Caucasian is unfortunate , pleads guilty to the charge; if to oppose the wishes of the people to attempt to hush their demands for equal justice by misleading state ments is to be fortunate, then we must decline that honor. The News and Observer intimates above that it has published some 'acts in oppo sition to a commission that we are afraid to give to the public or dis cuss. If such was not it intention then we do not understand each eth er, if it was then our esteemed co temporary does not understand The Caucasian. We are not advocating a commission in a partisan .-pirit at all. We have no more to gain or lose by the establishment ot a com mission than any other citizen. It has been our opinion for some, time that a proper commission widely managed will benefit the whole State and work no injustice or hardship upon the railroads. We have inves tigated and tried to throw light up on the subject. We have not gone to Tom, Dick or Harry and asked him to furnish us with his side of the question or with facts to fit the case. We have stated actual condi tions. We have gathered freight bill.- and have given and are ready continue to give names of shippers, class ol freight, ppints to and from shipped, over what lines and the freight actually paid. Notwith standing if the News and Observer cm show that we are wrong, it will save the next Legislature from mak ing a mistake and d. the whole State a great favor. But to come back to the News and Observer's grievance. It says we did not publish its reply to our ques tion (asking where it got the freight rates it published) but printed an ex tract about a "different matter." The extract we published was about The Caucasian and the commis sion in its ifsue of November 29ch. We did not see any other reference to the matter in that issue. Since then Capt. Ashe has sent us a mark ed copy of the same i?sue, calling our attention to another article in a different column. It is as follows: "We were not advertent, t qi.:iry made by TiiECArcAsiAN that 1 . A we um not reasonably answer. The freight rates It alludes t furnished us on our application bv vvoi, vv . a. xurK, who repiesents the Richmond & Danville Kiilroarl sv. tern, which has a greater mileage in mis totaie tnan any other road. We suppose the chanres of the nthpp great lines are virtually the same, i xnexxews ana unserver made the publication in the interest of truth, j and because it regards that it is no ! less dangerous to the Democratic party than wrontr in crincinlfi tn mis lead the people, and to inflame their ... prejuaices, Decmue of an alleged state of facts that does not exist. TheCaucasian Will favor us by print ing the above. And now let lis ask The Caucasian why it did not publish tho fhrta stated in our editorials to which it alludes; ana particular Jy why it did not publish the information we gave it about the useof grape Uvskets by our Baleigh grpe growing Associa tion?" We publish' th ? above with plea sure anu wis.i to thank the News and Observer fjr the information that It wasCol. Turk, who furnish ed it with tl,a freight rates it published, .But that information however -important it is does not throw any Ifeu on tho situation as we have sa d before, that among auinw ireigu bills we have been able t f gather (many of them of the B. & i. B. It.) wo find no such rates acta ly existing. Now again, "in the i&terest cf truth" and in order thaUhe people may not be misled and their prejudices inflamed be- cause of an alleged staH of fat" a that does not t-xist," we call upon the News and Observer to give sqeci6e facts, by staMng between what points in North Carolina and on what c!as-o-i of freight m h iat s are eharccd. IVe do not n n ember the inform ation the News ar.d Observer gave about the grape basket business but we will take pleasure in publishing any facts concerning the freight rates from here to lialeigh as com pared with the rates from Petersburg to Italeigb. As to the "odd mistake" we made on a former occasion, we have no idea to what ('apt. Ashe refers. If he will point out any in intake we have made, or any omission, we wil take pleasure in making the correc tion. Now in conclusion we -.v ill venture to suggest to the News and Observer that when diseussi.ig the commission it should remember that to secure reasonable freight rate.-, is only one of the seven points that will be aim ed at in framing a commission bill A CONVENTION OF BKEAD-WJNNERS TJIK NATIONAL FARMERS ALLIANCE AND INDUSTRI AL UNION IN SESSION aT OCALA.

The largest and most important meeting of bread-winners ever as sembled since the world began, was the annual meeting of the Nationa Alliance, which convened at Ocala, Florida, on Monday of last week One year ago, when the last Nation al meeting was in session at St. Louis, the world paid little attention, save ridicule, totne "grumbling hav-seed- ers." The metropolitan papers simply referred to the meeting in little para graphs in someoorner'f theirsheets and no congressmen allowed such a matter to disturb hi- slumbers. Rut how ("liferent to-day. Thu bold and positive stand taken by that body backed up by the powerfully convinc ing logic of the farming and laboring people on the 1th of last November, has turned sneers into fears, ridicule into respect, and indifference into the deepest interest and concern. The farmers have waked up and they are waking the country up. For the last ten days the eyes ot the nation have been upon the Ocala meeting, the metropolitan papers have given 'witli- double and tripple headlines every particular they could get. 'Ihe pig my President's message and the do ings of the National Congress have been matters of minor importance. The one body is a rebuke to the oth er. The former is a protest against present conditions, the latter with reckless deviltry is intensifying these very conditions. President Polk, in his annual ad dress, said : "Profoundly impressed with the magnitude ot this great revolution lor reform, involving issues momen tous and stupendous in their char acter, as affecting the present and future welfare of the people, the public mind is naturally directed to this meeting with anxious interest. if not solicitude, and you cannot be unmindtui ot the importance and responsibility that attach to your action as representatives, coming from States and localities remote from eact other, and differing wide ly from each other in their material and physiological characteristics,and marked by those social and political umerences which must necessarily arise under our form of government. "It is your gracious privilege, as n sna l oe your crowning honor, to prove to the world by your harmo nious action and thoroughly fratern al co-operation that your supreme purpose Is to meet the demands of patriotic duty in a spirit of equity and Justice." In his recommendation upon the proposed National Legislative Coun cil President Polk said: I would suggest that a Legislative Council be formed, to be composed of your Ns nonal Presiient, who shall be ex ofllcio Chairman, and the Presidents of all the State Alliance? represent ed in the Supreme Council, ar.d that this body shall hold its annual meet ing within sixty days after the ad journment of the Supreme Council, at such time and place as maybe de signated by the National Presideat; that it be empo wered and authorized to appoint such legislative commit tees as in its judgment may be wise, and that it be required to transmit to each of the States, in printed form, through the National ecreta ry, for distribution to tha reform Continued on Third Page.

Pcrrv ,t was riding blithely down the winding trail, total i . . . . . . ij unconscious tiiat Iiu movements were of the faintest consequence to f anybody but himself , and equally heedlesa'of their being a source of speculation. His horse -" was one he rejoiced in, full of spirit and spring and intelligence; the morning was beautiful, just cool enough to be exhilarating; his favorite hound, Bruce, went bounding over the turf under the slopes, or ranging off through the cottonwoods along the stream, or the shallow, sandy arroyos, where the grass and weeds grew rank and luxuriant. Every now and then with sudden rush and whir a drove of prairie chickens would leap from their covert, and. after vigorous flapping of wings for a few rods, would go skim ming restfully in long easy curve, and settle to earth agat.i a hundred yards away, as though suddenly reminded of the fact that this was mating time and no gentleman would bo mean enough to shoot at such a season. Every little while, too, with prodigious kicking of dust and show of heels, with eyes fairly bulging out of his feather brained head, and tall lop ear3 laid flat on his hack, a big jack rabbit would bound off into space, and go tearing across the prairie in mad race for his threatened life, putting a mile between him and the Monee before he began to realize that the t wo quadrupeds ambling along the distant tral were obedient to the will of that single rider, who had no thought to spare for game so small Some Indian ponies, grazing across his pathway, set back th&ir stunted ears, and, cow like, refused to budge at sight and hearing of the big American horse; whereat a little vagabond of a Cheyenne, not ten years old nor four feet high, set up a shrill chatter and screech and let drive a few well directed clods of turf, and then showed his white teeth in a grin as Perry sung out a cheery "How! sonny," and spurred on through the opening thoroughfare, heedless of spite fial pony looks or threatening heels. Perry's spirits rose with every rod. Youth, health, contentment, all were his, and his heart was warm towards Im fellow men. To the best of his reckon ing, he had not an enemy or detractor in the world. He was all gladness of na ture, all friendliness, frankness and cor diality. The toughest cowboy whom they met on the long march down, the most crabbed of the frontiersmen they had ever encountered, was never proof against such sunshine as seemed to ir radiate his face. He would go out- of his way at any time to meet and hail a fellow man upon the prairies, and rarely came back without knowing all about him where he was from, where he was bound and what were his hopes and prospects. And as for himself, no man was readier to answer questions or to meet in friendliest and most jovial spirit the roeh but well meant greetings of "the plains." Being in this frame of mind to an ex tent even greater than his normal wont, Mr. Perry's eyes glistened, and he struck spur to hasten Nolan's stride, when, far ahead, and coming towards him on the trail, he saw a horseman like himself. Being in this mood of sociability, he was something more than surprised to see that all of a sudden that horseman had reined in a mere black dot a mile away and was presumably examining him as he advanced. Hostile Indians there had been none for many a long month, "road agents" would have starved in a region where there practically were no roads, cowboys might, and did, get on frolics and have wild "tears" at times, but who ever heard of their being hostile, man to man? Yet Perry was plainsman enough to tell, even at the mile of distance, that the stranger had halted solely to scruti nize Mm, and, next, to his vast astonish ment, that something in Iris appearance had proved either alarming or suspicious, ior tne norseman nad turned abruptly, plunged through the timber and across the stream, and in another mom on f veering that way himself to see, Perry marked him fairly racing into the month of a shallow ravine, or "break," that en tered the valley from the south, and there he was lost to sight. "What an. Ill mannered craloot!" was his muttered comment as he gave Nolan brief ohanoe to crop the juicy grass,, while ' his perturbed rider sat trazins- across the stream in the direction taken. by the shy horseman. "I've half a mind. to drop the ranch and nut out after that fellow. That ravine can't co in so verr far but what, lie must soon show up on. the level prairie; and Til bet Nolan could. run ham down." After a moment's re flection, however, Mr. Perry concluded, that as he had come so far and was nor nearly within rifle shotof the mysterious goal of Ms morning ride, he might as well let the strancer co. and nnshwL ahead himself for Dunraven. The stream, bent southward iust at the. point where he had first caught sight of the horsernrci, and around that point he knew the .ranch to be. Very probably that was orie of the ranchmen of whom. Mrs. Lawrcticehad Bnokpn churlish fol lows, with a civil word forrnobody, grim.. rcpeueui. v ny, certainly. nat accounted for his evident desire to avoid tl.-e cavalryman: but he neol not have buen in such desperate liaste necO not have kept at 6uch unapproachable bounda, ad though he shunned even being sejn. That was tho queer thing, thought Perry. lie acted jast as though he did not want to be recognized. Perhaps he'd been up to some devilment at the ranch. ;TM.9 thought gave spur to hb bjhxhI. and Nolan, responaive to his master's mood, leaped forward along tho winding tiail once juore. Tho point was soon reached and turued, and tho first object thai caught Perry's eye was a long row o? stakes stretching from the cotton wcods straight to tho south up tho gen tu slope to the prairie, and indicating be ypnd all question the presence there of a sout and high and impassable wire fence. There are few things the cavalryman h. Ids in meaner estimate. "That marks the western limit," thought Perry to himself, "and doubt less reaches miles away to the south, from what I hear. Now, where does one ehte.-?" A little farther on became upon a trail leading from tho low bluffs to hi left hand. It crossed the winding bridle path on which ho rode, though some of the hoof tracks seemed to joiu, and wheel tracks too. He had marked that between the fort and tho point no sign of wheel appeared; it was a hoof trail and noth ing more. Now a light and little trav eled wagon track came in from the north, and while one branch seemed to cross the Monee and to ascend tho opposite slopes close along tho wire fence, the other joined him anu went on down the stream. This he decided to follow. A ride of a few hundred yards brought htm to a point wliere a shoulder of bluff twisted the trail well in towards tha u' ream, and he, thinking to cross and re eonnoiter on the other shore, turned No lan in that way, and was suddenly brought up standing by the heaviest and most forbidding wire fence he had ever seen. Yes, there it stretched away through the cottonwoods, straight as a die, bsck to the angle whence started tho southward course he first had noted, and, looking down stream, far as the eye could reach, he marked it. "AVell,'- thought Perry, "I've often heard an Englishman's house was his castle, but who would have thought of staking and wiring in half a county in this hoffffish half a Texas county- way? How far down is the entrance, anvhow'r" Following the trail, ho rode down stream a full half mile, and still there seemed no break. Nowhere on the other shore wa3 there sign of bridle path lead ing up the slopes. Turning to his left in 6omo impatience, he sent Nolan at rapid lope across the intervening "bottom," and soon reached tho bluffs, which rose perhaps forty or fifty feet above tho .stream. Once on. the crest, the-prairie stretched before him noithward, level as a floor, until it met the sky; but it wasJ southward he longed to look, and tMther quickly turned.. Yes, there it lay Dun raven Ranch, in all its lonely majesty. From where he gazed the nearest build ing stood a good long mile away. That it was the homestead he divined at once, for a broad veranda ran around the lower story, and white curtains were visible at the dormer windows of the upper floor. Back of it and on the eastern flank were other buildings, massive look ing, single storied affairs, evidently stables, storehouses and corrals. There was a tall windmill there an odd sight m so remote a region and a big water tank. Perry wondered how it ever got there. Then at the southwest angle was a build ing mat loosed use an omce of some kind." He could see horses tethered there, and what seemed to be human figures moving about. Beyond it all, to the east and south, were herds of grazing cattle, and here and there in the dim dis tance a horseman moved over tho prai rie. This reminded him of the stranger who had given him the slip; and he gazed westward in search of him. Far up the valley, between him and the distant post, ho could plainly see a black object just descending the slopes from the southern prairie to the stream. Not another was in sight that his prac ticed eye did not know to be cattlo. That, then, was his horseman, once more going fort-wards in the valley, after hav ing made a three or four mile detour to avoid him. "Now, what sort of a Chris tian is that fellow?" thought Perry, as he gazed at the distant speck. "Going to the fort, too. By thunder! I'll find out who he is, anyhow. Now I'm going to the ranch. Down the slopes ho rode. Down the winding trail once more he trotted, peer ing through every gap among the cot tonwoods, tlaking Nolan's thirst at a lit tle pool in the stream, and then, after another long half mile, he camo to sudden turn to the right. The road dipped and twisted through the stream bed, rose to the other side, wound through the cottonwoods and then out on the open turf. Huzza! There it 6tretched up the slopes straight away for the south, straight through a broad gap between two heavy gate posts standing on the ,a,ke line of that rigid fence. Nolan broke into a brisk canter and gave neigh of salutation; Perry's eyes glistened with anticipation as he bent over his charger's neck, keenly searching the odd -looking structure growing on his vision as they neared the fence. Then, little by little, Nolan's eager stride shortened and grew choppy. Another moment, and horse and rider reined up short in disappointment. Between the gate posts swung a barrier of cobweb lightness, slender and airy as spider ever wove, but bristling with barbs, stiff as "bullfinch" and unyielding as steel. One glance showed Perry that this inhospitable gate was firmly locked. For a moment he sat in saddle, study ing the situation, while Nolan poked his head over the topmost strand of wire and keeping at respectful distance from the gUttering barbs gazed wistfully over the inclosed prairie in search of comrade quadruped who could tell Mm what manner of place this was. Meantime his rider was intently eying the heavy padlock that was secured i n the inner side of the gate. It was square in shape, massive and bulky something utterly unlike anything he had ever seen among the quartermaster's stores. Dismount ing and holding Nolan well back from the aggressive fence with one hand. he gingerly passed the other through the spike fringed aperture and turned the padlock so as to get a better view. . It was of English make, as he surmised, and of strength sufficient to resist any thing short of a trip hammer. Evident ! no admission was to be gained here, he 11, 1890. reasotHvi, aiJ yet it u tn rough len ittat that lKremea luul come but an hour be fore. Here were the fresh hoof prinU in the trail, and it was e vidua that the rider had dismounted, opened the gate, led hla harm through. clotd ar.d fast ened it. then remounted and ridden away. Perry was plainsman enough to read this from the hoof prinU. Studying thorn carefully, s look of surprise came into his face; he bent down and ctasly examined the two or three that were niont clearly defined upon the trail, then gave a long whUtlo a a means of ex pressing his feelings and giving pUy to his astonishment. "Johnny Bull holds himself too high and mighty to have anything to do with us blarsted Yankees, it seems, except when he wants his horses shod, these shoes were set at the post blacksmith shop, or I'm a duller ," was the lieuten ant's verbal comment. "Now, how was it done without the quartermaster's knowing it? That's the cavalry shoer Pondering over this unlooked for reve lation, Mr. IVrry once more mounted and turned his disappointed steed again down rtream. At last, full lialf a mile farther on, he saw tliat a wire fence ran southward again across the prairie, as though marking the eastern boundary of tho homestead hiclosure, and con jecturing tliat there was probably a trail along that fence and an opening through, even if the southeastward line should bo found fenced still farther, he sent Nolan through the Monee to the open bank on tho northern side, cantered along until the trail turned abruptly southward, and, following it, found himself once more at the fence just where the heavy corner tost 6tood deeply imbedded in the soil. Sure enough, here ran another fence straight up the gentle slope to the south, a trail along its eastern side, and a broad cattle gap, dusty and tramped with the hoofs of a thousand steers, was left in the fence that, prolonged down stream, spanned tho northern boundary. Inside tho homestead lot all was virgin turf. Following the southward trail, Perry rodo briskly up the long incline. It was east of this fence he had seen tho cattle herds and their mounted watchers, ne was far beyond the ranch buildings, but felt sure that once well up on the prairio be could have an uninterrupted view of them and doubtless meet some of tho ranch people and satisfy himself what there was in the stories of their churlish and repellent demeanor. The sun was climbing higher all this time, and he, eager in pursuit of his reconnoissauce, gave little heed to fleeting minutes. If fair means could accomplish it, he and Nolan were bound to have acquaintance with Dunraven Ranch. ' Ten minutes' easy lope brought Mm well up on tho prairie. There westward now was the mysterous clump of brown buildings, just as far away as when he stood, baffled and disappointed, by the gateway on the Monee. Here, leading away towards the distant buildings, was a bridle path. Here in tho fence was a gap just such as he had entered on tho stream, and that gap was barred and guarded by the counterpart of the first gate and firmly secured by a padlock that was tho other's twin. Mr. Perry's comment at this point of his explora tions was brief and characteristic, if not objectionable. He gave vent t the same low whistle, half surprise, half vexation, that had comforted his soul before, but supplemented the whistle with the unnecessary remark: "WelL I'll be damned!" Even Nolan entercfd his protest against such incredible exclusiveness. Thrusting his lean head far over the topmost wires, as before, he signaled long and shrill a neigh that would have caught tho ear of any horse within a mile and then, all alert, ho waited for an answer. It camo floating on the rising wind, a re sponsive call, a signal as eager and con fident as his own, and Nolan and No lan's rider whirled quickly around to see tho source from whence it rose. Four hundred yards aw ay, just appearing over a little knoll in the prairie, and moving towards them from the direction of a distant clump of grazing cattle, another horse and rider came trotting into hail ing distance; and Perry, his bright blue eyes dilating, and Nolan, his dainty, sen sitive ears pricked forward, turned promptly to met and greet the new ar rivals. For fifty yards or so the stranger rode confidently and at rapid trot. Perrv smilingly watched the outturned toes, the bobbing, "bent over" seat, and an gular elbows that seemed so strange and out of place on the broad Texan plain. He could almost the "crop" in the free hand, and was smiling to himself at tho idea of a "crop" to open wl gates, when he became aware of the fact that the stranger's mien had chang ed; confidenco was giving place to hes itancy, and he was evidently checking the rapid trot of his horse and throwing his weight back on the cantle, while his feet, thrust through to the very heels in the gleaming steel stirrups, were braced in frontxof the powerful shoulders of the bay. The horse wanted to come, the rider plainly wanted to stop. Another moment, and Perry could see that the stranger wore eyeglasses and had just succeeded in bridging them on his nose and was glaring at Mm with his chin high in air. They were within two hun- ared yards of each other by this time, and to Perry's astonishment, the next thing the stranger did was to touch sharply Ms horse with a barbed heel, whirl him spitefully about, and go bob bing off across the prairie at lively can ter, standing up in his stirrups, and be striding his steed as though his object were not so much a ride as game of leap frog. . It was evident that he had caught sight of Perry when Nolan neighed, had rid den at once to meet him, expecting to find some one connected with the ranch. and had veered off in disgust the mo ment he was able to recognize the uni form and horse equipments of the United States cavalrv Continued next week.
