WE ARE ENCOURAGED.
Every day we are- more and more
encouraged that the people will win
in this gigantic struggle against com
bined monopoly and plutocracy.
With nearly two thousand reform
papers stattered all oven the country
ever on the alert to watch and ex
pose the schemes of the
cunning
hypocrites and demagogues who spec
ulate in reform to fool the people
We are more encouraged this week
than ever. Over a hundred reform
papers come to our office. We have
read them all eagerly and carefully
this week to see how they viewed and
interpreted Cleveland's appointment
of Judge Gresham. Nearly every
one has hit the key note and pierced
the tlrck veil over the deep laid
plot Nearly every one has written
an editorial on the same line as the
one we wrote last week headed "He
Stoops to Conquer." One of the best
of these editorials was written by the
Virginia Sun unde the head, 'The
Plot Unfolds." We first began to
make extracts from it, but it is all
so good that we publish it in full.
Be sure to read it every word and
think over.
HOW MANY?
Dear friends, how many subscrib
ers do we deserve and ' how many
copies of The Caucasiax does the
cause need?
. Every reformer in North Carolina
should take The Caucasian or
ome other good reform paper; and
should also see to it that every one
of his neighbors has the paper on
his table every week.
For less than two cents a number
The Caucasian will call on a voter
once every seven days and present to
his calm, sober judgment the facts
and figures. It will turn on the
light and make the politician howL
WThy, then, should not The Cau
casian be a regular visitor to the
fireside of every farmer and labor
ing man in North Carolina?
Reformers, do not delay! If you
are not fc subscriber, or if you know
of a neighbor who is not, do not let
a week pais before sending it; a club.
We are fighting one of the mightiest
battles for equal rights and human
freedom since the world began. Yon
should help. You most keep up
with the procession.

Senator Morgan, also one of the ar-
oitrators. and several other promi

1'efore the Houhm adjourned an uu

Senate amendments to the Car Coup
ler bill.
After March 4, an interesting
question will come up in the Senate,
the solution which uiay.be the loss
to Wyoming of a seat in the Senate.
The dispatches say that Ciov. Os
borne has appointed A. C. Ceck
with to the vacancy, caused by the
failure of the legislature at the re
cent session to elect a Senator- This
appointment will probably cause a
most interesting contest over the
right of the gentlemen holding the
credentials from the Governor to
seat under them. The question at
issue will be the right of the Gov
ernor to appoint a Senator when the
vacancy is at the beginning of a reg
ular term and when the legislature
with power to elect has been in ses
sion and has adjourned without
electing a Senator.
Many Democrats in Congress are
indignant over Chairman Hariity
issuing a letter for the purpose of
ascertaining the attitude of mem
bers of the new Congress on the sil
ver question. Many claim that it
is an attempt of Cleveland and Na
tional Committee to compel the
party to repeal the Sherman Aft;
while others consider it a simple
desire to know how the member
stand on the question. It might be
observed that the most of the latter
are Cleveland men, belong to the
East and have no peculiar love for
silver. There is open rebellion in
the Democratic ranks. '
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
will wear at the inauguration a suit
of real Mississipi jeans, made espec
ially for him and this occasion by a
firm in Mississipi.
The attitude of Mr. Cleveland as
anything but favorable to the peo
ple. He has shown it in the forma
tion of his Cabinet and in his silver
views. Mr. Olney, the Attorney
General-elect, is a corporation at
