When will Mr. Olney, Cleveland' Attorney General, begin to carry oat the Chicago platform, by trusts? smishing The Brooklyn Eagle sayr. "Mr. Cleveland U in no hurry" but the people are. When will the tarilt be reduced so as to give the people re lief? Header, are you doing your level best to secure subscriptions to The Caucasian? Remember, the success of the movement in your locality de pends upon you. We furnish the arguments; its yours to furnish the readers. See in another column what Sen ator School lield has to say about the Alliance charter and the tobacco trust bill. Partisan papers, like the Carolinian evsn, which has damaged reform by ejaculating in it for a purpose, can no longer blind the truth or keep the facts from the people. When Cleveland makes an appoint ment, the todoging partisan editors say: "It is a capital appointment, he could not have found a better man in the Democratic party." That may be true, but he might have gone outside the partisan lines and found a better man, as he did in the case of (J resham. Tub Caucasian' has never been more hated and feared by a certain set of wrong doers, than it is to-day. Why? Because it is dealing in the logic of truth and has the ears of thousands of people of all political parties and will soon reach thou sands more. Those who hate and abuse the paper are not able to dis prove the facts we are giving to the people. They trying to boom Senator Kan som, trying to magnify his "great influence" because den. Wm. Cox was selected Secretary of Senate over Washington. This is popycock and stuff. Mr. Washington, of 'Va., is the man who has been writing letters ex posing and criticising Mr. Cleveland 4 and if a dozen Matt Hansoms had worked for him he could not have been elected Secretary of the Senate. Mr. Morss, the editor of the In dianapolis Sentinel who has been as blind and as foolish a worshipper of Mr. Cleveland as Rev. LL. D. Col. Kingsbury of the Messenger, and who got mad a few weeks ago and cussed Cleveland out for his mug wumpishuess in making appoint ments, has had his month shut. Cleveland has appointed him Consul General to Paris, and he will now of course be in a frame of mind to for give all the other appointments (Gresham included) made by the Boss Mugwump. If North Carolina was a prootal State and Rev. LL. D. Col. Kingsbury wa3 of enough im portance, he might now cuss enough to get his month shut in the same way. We have received more congratu lations on last week's issue of The Caucasian; than we ever have on an issue before. The Caucasian is "turning on the light" and fair minded men of all political parties are glad. It has been peculiarly gratifying to receive congratulations from men who voted the Democratic ticket The majority of the people of North Carolina are working hard an honest living and believe in air play. They want to know the ruth, even though it makes them ad that it is so. Honest men, who lave always been uemocrats anu who are very partial to that party, are pained to know the facts we are publishing, but since they are facts, thev want to know the truth. This w" is why thev read The Caucasian. The assential principle of a Re- A A public is individual virtue. Does A any one doubt or will any one deny his? Then those individuals who stooped to dishonest and questionable methods in the late election and who suggested and taught dishonest methods to others who had never thought of them, are the worst ene mies to a republican form ot gov ernment They are cankering and eating sores in the. body politic.

Otho Wilson, charged with belonging to a secret political organization, called Gid eon's Baud came up to-day in Wake Superior Court The plea of "nole contendere" was entered by the de fendant and the case was dismissed from court. The following is the wording of the plea entered: "State vs S. Otho Wilson. Ihe defendant, S. Otho Wilson, comes into court, and whilj protesting his innocence, pleads that he is unwil ling to contend with the State, and that he abides by the judgment of the court." Next week we will publish another installment of the election law as it is and as it would le amended. We publish the first installment last week. This week we comment in a leading editorial upou one of the sections (2G7C) given last week. We want you to see what two Jndges on the Supreme Court bench think of the present law and how much worse the law i3 made by the decision of the other three members of the court making a majority. If the amendments to the law had been passed by the legislature, it would of course have destroyed the decision of the court, under which eo much fraud was committed last November. in snort tne amendment to law is based on the dissenting OTiiuion of Justices Clark and Davis. You see there is the highest authority for the justness of these amendments, and if there had been one more man on the bench who thought like Clark and Davis, then the amendment to section 2G7G would not have been necessary. Read the editorial care fully, also the extracts from the ma jority and minority opinions of the court. Get last week's paper and read section xb7h as it is and as it would be amended. If you are a new. subscriber and did not get last week's copy Write to us aud we will senel itto vou. . Re true to your convictions of right and the world will le better for your having lived. Western Critic. Most men are endowed with the faculty to exercise his brain, and it behooves every man to have convic tions and be true to them until he is proved to be wrong. One man who has honest convictions and is able to tell why he believes a thing to be right, and i3 willing for the evidence that convinced him to be thoroughly tested and weighed with the combin ed opposition, is far above party men who never think for themselves, but have all their ideas hinged on to the opinion of some one else who is en deavoring to advance their own in terest, which are antagonistic to those of the follower. As long as the people march un der the crack of the party lash to the tune of designing demagogues, as dumb driven cattle to the butcher's pen, without even stoppiug to think or themselves, so long may they ex pect to be duped and frowned down. The doctrine of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," will never prevail until the masses are ed ucated alocg this line, and their thinking faculties exercised and de veloped. THE TELAUTOGRAPH. With God all things are possible. Will he allow all things to be possi ble with man? Is there any limit to human ingenuity? As wonderful and marvellous as thp achievements of the last half a century has been, yet there are no doubt still greater surprises in store for the next half century. We thought the telegraph was wonderful and indeed it is; we thought the phonograph was mar vellous and indeed it is, preserving, giving the sound of the human voice a thousand years later. But more wonderful still, now comes a ma chine called the telautograph bv which you can telegraph a message and have your own handwriting transmitted over the wires. It is just invented by Prof. Elisha Gray. He has been working at it for years and has just succeeded. If the op erator is out, he finds the message on his table written in the handwriting when he comes in. Further the picture of a person can be seut over the wires. As the pen . or pencil of the person sending the message moves at the sending office, a foun- tain pen; the point of which rests on a continuous roll of paper at the re ceiving station moves and registers accurately every letter .or mark.

Pluknejr Alliance Mill not Withdraw Fond. Pixksey, N. C, Mr. Editor. At the last meeting of I'inkney Alliance No. 82G, we passed a resolution that not a single member would withdraw a single cent from the Business Agency Fund. We do not approve of the action of the Legislature and if we did, we would not withdraw money, for we see the great bene fit the Business Agency has been to us. If we were able we would put in more.

There is a little boy at our house and he is named Marion." Yes it was such a contract that we all enteied into and no ti ue Alli anceman will draw out the money no matter what the Legislature did. Ed. l'ranklin County. Mapleville, N. C. March 15, 1893. Mr. Editor. The Senatoi and Representative from this county (Franklin) in the last General As sembly are telling the people that the amendment to the charter of the State Alliance Business Agency was sat;sfactory to the officers of the said State Alliance. But I see in your paper that the above statement is false, and that the officers of the State Alliance were notified that they could either accept the amend ment or see the charter repealed, and the officers accepted the amend ment rather than see the charter repealed- .Please let me know the truth of the matter at once, as I understand, they (the Representatives) have made some appointments to address the people on the matter as there is so much dissatisfaction expressed. Yours fraternally Tlie Great Aim of the Alliance. W. L. PHILIPS. Let the Alliance continue as here tofore. As an organization it has done more to educate the masses on political economy than all the parti ans political organizations for the last thirty years. This has been accom plished by discussions in our sub ordinate Alliances and bv provok ing opposition and investigation. The growth in knowledge has been very rapid, lhe advance in political knowledge among the members of our order is so pronounced that even our enemies are amazed. Brethren, our work has just begun. In our organization the educational feature, is more essential thau ever. The tendencv of all branches of industry henceforth will be to perfect their present organizations. We, the most numerous and conservative of them all, caniot with safety relinquish our efforts. So long as we are watch ful of the interests of our organiza tion, just so long will we be true to our best interests as citizens. It is to that broad and liberal demand taught in our first declaration of principles alone - that we can look with perfect certainty for the per fecting of an independent patriotic oallot Let us not f 01 get that eternal vig ilance is the price of liberty. In our organized capacity, as an Alli ance, let us continue to discuss prin ciples and measures in non-partisan spirit, keep ever in mind the abso lute importance of a thoroughly or ganized band of agriculturists.

There is something realizable, something within sight, tn fifty ru-. Pushing the prospect away a hundred year seems to make the vision too dim and dis tant for practical purpose. Up to tills penoa In the LiUorr of th United States its people hare been busy in developing only that within its own bor ders. Ever widening areas have civen bundant opportunity not only for the vast emigration that has reached these shores, bat for the natural increase of pop ulation. The development of natural re sources so vast and varied have rendered employment constant and profitable; enor mous additions by emigration have pro vided ready made customers on the one hand and abundant labor on the other. Everything within the country itself has contributed to its own progress until now. at the closing years of its first century of progress, it has reached a condition at which all the world wonders. But with the first fifty years of tho new century these conditions will very materi ally change, so far as the enormous increase in population is concerned. If the popula tion increases at the same relative rate in the next five decades as in the last fifty years, the number of people to be sustained n tbls continent will be between 120.000.000 and 200,000,000. If the field of opportunity is beginning to be limited when the popu lation is less than 65,000,000, what will be the limitations when the population reaches three times that amount? It is no extraor dinary estimate to believe that 105,000,000 will need to find employment, need to be governed, and, above all, need to be fed, be fore boys and girls now born will cease to live. The prospect is rather a startlinor one. It is particularly so with regard to the shape that matters ore taking as to trusts, combinations and consolidations. If com petition is to be eliminated, production regulated and prices fixed by the few. the enormous increase in population will find conditions more extraordinary than ever anybody dreamed of. If, for instance, coal, which is the chief factor and force in civ ilization, should be controlled by ten or a dozen men, it would compel the govern ment to take possession of all the coal ands in order to be sure of supply and free from interference. Equally so with oil, with sugar and the thousand other things now drifting into the control of the few. But the tendency in this strange and rather dangerous direction is likely to be checked by the economic revolution re cently witnessed in the presidential elec tion. The change which is implied in the election of Mr. Cleveland is that an effort will be made to build np a trade other than that which exists in the country itself. It would seem that this change comes at the most appropriate time, and that revolu tions resembling special providences come only when needed, and when needed their effects come to stay. If the destiny of the country limited its operations exclusively to within its own borders, there would be precious little hope for the 200,000,000 that in fifty years ara to be taken care of in this country. But with the world open as a field, with taxation re duced to a minimum, without the need of a standing army, with abundant supply of raw material, and with food products cheaper than elsewhere in the world, it would seem that the destiny of the United States included the creation of a commerce with foreign lands, exceeding that vast in ternal commerce which she has already created within her own limits. The extent and magnitude of this inter nal trade almost exceeds human estimate, and is one of the most wonderful demon strations of human progress the world has ever seen, yet the foreign commerce of which the United States is capable is des tined to even exceed these enormous fig ures, and in that foreign commerce exists the hope of the future generations of this continent. Hence the revolution which now impends in economic affairs is of great moment in the forecast of the next fifty years. If the genius of the people of this country, its in ventive faculty, the introduction of steam, machinery, electricity and the forces thai have chiefly contributed to the progress of the United States are made as effective for the benefit of the whole world as they have been for this country itself, there is no ap parent limit, except the limit of the world itself, to the growth of wealth, to the aug mentation of opportunity and to the achievements of this people. Fifty years hence boys now living will look back with wonderment at the narrowness of the com prehension of even great political parties, who sought to restrict the operations of the continent so vast in its forces to the devel opment of trade within itself. The growth of the commerce of Great Britain is the best illustration of what may occur in the United States in the next fifty years under changed conditions. The Brit ish islands, which are a mero speck upon the map of the world, levy tribute from every nation under the sun. This they do inspire of distance from supplies of raw material, with the necessity of purchase of food products from distant climes and in circumstances altogether disadvantageous as compared with those existing in the United States. If by the commercial policy of Great Britain she has regulated opto this time the commerce of the world; if she holds the supremacy upon the seas by her great maritime wealth, and by her accumu lations of capital she has regulated the monetary affairs of the entire financial fab ric of the earth, surely the United States can do more. But it is not outside the continent alone that in the next fifty years so much will be achieved. Turning northward, a region ex ists similar to the United States in prod ucts, exceeding in area and riches those which have here been developed, a new field opens not only for achievement within the region Itself, but furnishing all the mate rial essential far success abroad. - Thus, in the articles of food, limitations are already being reached, with a popula tion of 65,000,000, and which, with a - popu lation of 100,000,000 or 150,000,000, will be get the greatest anxiety. There are onl7 two classes that produce f bodthe fisher man and the farmer. In the decade just closing the cities, in which no food is pro duced. Increased 60 per cent., while the farmer Increased only 14 per cent. The fisherman showed no increase at all, rather diminishing in number and in extent of output. If the same ratio of increase should continue, with the Increased population re ferred to, it would be very soon seen that the question of food is to be one of the greatest importance within the next fifty The bread which now sustains the popu lation is from flour derived from the most northern states; the exhaustion of arable oils by constant cultivation and th trend of the growth of wheat being continually northward. Minnesota and Dakota furnish now three-fourths of the entire flour prod uct of this country. In fifteen years, it is alleged, exports of all food products, includ ing provisions, will cease because of the TinitiihlTig amount on the one hand and the increased consumption by growth of population on the other. . Under such (ircumstances the enormous wheat areas of the British possessions in North. America are of great Importance to this country. Not only will they have im portance as a source of supply, bat by their occupancy through emigration and other wise they would create a vast market so accessible and so exclusive to th United States that nothing in its history would so benefit it trade. Thus, if Michigan, Wis consin and Minnesota have been, contrib utory to the benefit of this country in jUBarsaaas snoaa on ua their art!y of tooi and taw tnaUrUI on th other, so win also lb dv2opcest of region of sqaaj arm and tqoal richs within th lintith fOMMiaoi Tb Itapentliiuc ecmoomia rrvclattoQ. therefore, is fell of cini&canew reganliEf the northern rcioo of tb eosltamt, it b regarding tb forelga trade, beosaa without tb drawing of sword, th shad dls of a drop of Uood er tb expeadttor of a single dollar th. are of th trad of th Umted States ran tho be duabhnL, It wed only a fcint! act o thm lr-cUlator t Waabtagton and at Ottawa to hav tb barrk r broken down, so that even wtihia fir years the foutx!alia can Ue laid for a progress ca this continent in th next fifty years tnnml only by that which Las taken plare south of it crater within th last fifty years. The field of opportunity forth next fifty years Is th portion of th continent now nnoccopicd. Tb young men ia our col Ieges and schools when they coin oat need the same chanc that their predtceasor have had. That chance Is pretty well pre empted. The limitations la are tn th United Etates have been reached, A land hanger Las already att In, as shown in th tretsctHloas rah for farms at th open ing of every government reserve. It U im possible to gvt new farm In Minnesota any more readily than it is in lVnnnylraaia without iiplwiii;r a farmer, and unless the people continue to herd in the cities, crowding the manufuctorks, or lire on upon anotru-r, there must be room for ex pansion. Canada afford that room. The maruirae provinces, described by Governor Audrews, of Masaachasotta, as 'possessing greater wealth in minerals and agricultural possibilities than New York and Pennsylvania," with a great coast line of fisheries added, offer great inducements for young men in the eastern states. Th ability of tLese provinces to eontribat raw material, which New England needs for the creation of a foreign trade. Is a palpa ble as that warmth comes from th sun. Equally so with the great manufacturing tff'ities and raw material in th province of Quebec, the t oon iions possible out out of food products from the province of Onta rio, while the minerals of Algoma, that treasure box of the continent. Invite th energy and capital of the American peo ple to degree that California never pos sesRed. These, however, are but the vestibule to the vast wheat fields of the northwest, where a furrow can be made with a plow a thousand miles long, from Winnipeg to the Rocky mountains, and be but a base line for a thousand miles square of farm ing land. British Col umbia, on the Pacific, completes the attractive picture, for here is found not only wide agricultural areas, but enormous needed supplies of timber. sources of fish food unequalcd elsewhere in the world, and minerals the extent and value of which far exceed those of all the mineral states on the Pacific coast, not withstanding the enormous output which in the last fifty years they have exhibited. The half century of opportunity now opening up for the coming American boy and girl must include within its scope this northern region, which has the best supply of raw material and food products essential to the success of the United States in its attempt to build up a foreign trade, The possibilities of profit, the field of opportu nity, the settlement of numerous questions of international concern, the absorption of immigration, the citation of ready made customers and the hope of the future rest in a trade that shall be continental in ex tent as continental in profit. ERASTUS WIMAN. Bishop Kcwniao on the Future of Meth- .From Our New York Correspondent. - Bishop Newman, of the Methodist church, speaking of the tendencies nfthat great denomination, said: "I think Methodist church will awaken in the next century to the Importance of doing those things which will enable it to maintain its commanding position among religious de nominations. I am inclined to think, that one of the most important of the changes which the authorities in the denomination will permit will be the adoption of the Wesley liturgy. "That liturgy, as not many of the pres ent generation know, does not differ in many respects from that of the Church of England or the Protestant Episcopal church ot the United States. It was the liturgy prepared by Charles Wesley for the use of the Methodist Episcopalians in the early days of that denomination. It has been gradually abandoned. There is a strong tendency in the denomination now to return to it, and I have no doubt that early in the next century it will again be adopted. "I shall rejoice If I live to see it. It will put us in closer relations with the great de nomination from which we sprang, and which in these days, having overthrown those influences which made the organiza tion of the Methodist church necessary, is now working with mighty seal for the cause of Christ. I do not think that the adoption of the Wesley liturgy will cause a return of the Methodists to the Protestant Episcopal church. The two denominations have peculiarly their own work to do, and in the next century they are going to do it magnificently. They will do it side by side, as brothers, after all, in one family. The religious development of the Twen tieth century is, I think, to keep pace with the magnificent material prosperity which awaits this country, and each will supple ment the other." John Wanamaker's Prediction. The postal service will bo almost entirely electrical 100 years from now. Of course the railroads, and the steamboats, and the stages, and the horseback riders wCl still b employed for the carriage of the mails, but all business communications and all com munications of all sorts that are really in tended to be quick will be transmitted by telegraph and telephone, and both of these means of transmitting intelligence will be very greatly extended generally, as well as applied to all the Immediate business of the postal service. Free delivery will be universal. This and the boxes for the collection as well as de livery of mail at everybody's house and business office these things and the tele graph and telephone, with charges reduced so that the people may resfly use them, and extended enough to be within every body's easy reach these things and the as of some electrical device in cities by which the masses of mail in business centers may be whizzed through tubes to receiving sta tions all these will make the postal serv ice so much more useful and so much easier to use that it will be used a hundred time as much a hundred years from now. Thousands of small offices in the neigh borhood of large cities will be abolished because unnecessary, stations will be estab lished in their stead, and with the free de livery in the villages and out along the lonely star routes the country will become more thickly populated. The whole service, by reason of the abolition of useless offices and the addition of modern facilities, will be miTe economically administered. The country will be divided into postal districts, and routine matters by the thousand will be attended to much more promptly from near postal -.centers. The United States postal service will be the greatest business machine and the most businesslike great business machine in the world. JOHN WAXAMAKER. AIXXSOX MABSHAIX. Mr. T. J.

Tier bar ov lrCTvw4 s far imlrrl 5 to bat perfettetl m machine for ?otisr. mhith is tl to W stmpi &a4 wU adapted t$ the perpo ta lift. Tb following drtp!Ka i given of it by the New York Tost: The machines are eeeioseJ in sheet iron booths, about five fret pqajtre. On one side are two 4oor. one fot entrance aotl the other for exit. The voter are formed ia line, and are admitted one at a time tbroach the entrance door by a a inspector who stands beside it The voter ro ia alone and the door loe&e behind him. He sees in front f him vertieaJ row of card of different color, each beating: the name of the candidates of a political party, and to the right of each name a knob to Ue pressed in. Thus the Ienioeratie ticket U all in I!ow. the KepuUican all is red, th Prohibition alt in bine. If the voter is illiterate, he ha only to know the color of his ticket to vote intelligently, provided Ue wished to vote "straight. When the rotcr pushes in the knob to the right of a name of a candidate for one effioe, he register bis vole automatically for that candidate, and at the same time locks the knobs of the candidates on all other tickets for the same office, thus making it impossible Jor anybody to vol for more than one candidate for any of flvc. The kuobs when pressed in re main iu that position1 till the voter passes out of the booth. When he has completed his balloting by push ing in the knobs opposite the name of every candidate for whom he wishes to vote, he opens the exit door, which opens only from the in side, and doing so unlocks attain the entrance door, aud at the same time releases all the knobs on all the bal lots. Tho machine is thus ready for the next voter, whum the inspector is able to pass in through the un locked entrance door. The total vote for each candidate is recorded automatically as the election pro ceeds, and all the poll clerks havo to do is to transfer to their books the totals of the different machines used, in case more than ono is nec essary in an election, verify them, and announce the result. The speed with which votes are re corded aud counted is something surprising. Thus with two machines, at a recent eliction iu Warsaw, Mass., 1)28 votes were polled in considerably less time than allowed by Uw, though they took the place of twenty-four booths as required by the Australian system. There were four columns in different colors on each machine, and sixty-four candidates in all. The result for candidates at the head of the ticket was announced one min ute after the closing of the polls, aud for the entire tickets within six teen minutes after the closing, i That is qcicfc work. No chance td for manipulation. The machine however is--Cii conducive to independent voting among "tho who are not expert in selecting their favorites. Illiterates have to go by the color of the ticket and vote it straight; but then it is suggested that men of that class generally pro pose to vote straight. It is only the educated who are inclined to select from all the tickets, and they will know how to manage the machine. The great points being to obtain accuracy in thH result and no cheat ing, the machine seems to fill along felt want in certain northern com munities. News & Observer. We were very much interested in reading the above and felt very much gratified to find it in the edi torial columns of the News & Obser ver for we felt that the editor had repented and was converted, and would in the future stand for a free ballot and fair count. But when we come to the last paragraph we lost all hope. We saw that Ephraim was still joined to his idols, lie says that the machine will prevent cheat ing in elections and seems to fill a long felt want in certain xorthcrn communities. This is brazen cheek, a paper that -is the "organ" of a party that was guilty only last No vember and right here in North-Carolina of enough cheating stealing, rottenness and corruption to dam any paity, even the worse element of Republicanism in the darkest corner of certain machine communities.
