If so do not cares the .Sherman law as an unmixed evil just because Cleve land and your platform does. Let us see the facts. The $4,000,000 in silver certificates issued every month in exchange for silver bullion sup plies to a limited extent the necessary circulating medium for transacting trade and business among the ir.o ple. Stop that safety valve without orxTiing a substitute and the country would see the greatest commercial and financial explosion of the age. Then demand of your party that it :ive us free coinage of silver and an increase of legal tender Treasury notes, before the Sherman law is re galed. A half a loaf is not as good as a whole loaf, but in the name of common sense and the interests of thousands who are toiling to make something to sell to get money to pay their debts and buy what they need, let us not throw away the half loaf for nothing in its stead. If vou are a true Democrat and know what is right and what you waut, you will stand here, even though Cleveland and your party leaves you. If they go off to worship the golden calf will you follow monkey like, or will you stand for your own interests and that your neighbors and your section ? "THE KING CAN DO NO WRONG." Whenever corrnption in the late election is exposed, or the actions of the members of the "dear party" bosses is criticised and denounced, editors of the Joe Daniels stripe open wide their months and send forth a wail "They are abusing the Demo cratic party !" No effort is made to defend the .party or to deny the charge, for this can't be done. Their position is that the "dear party" must not be criticised no matter what crimes it is guilty of. "We would like to know when the Democratic party arrogated to itself the doctrine "The king can do no wrong ?" This doctrine was once very convenient to a king of England who could not defend this course of crime and wick edness. And it would certainly be very convenient to the Democratic bosses now. But this is no monarchy and that dispoctic doctrine shall not take root in North Carolina soil to shield political thieves and scoun drels. If the Democratic party wan ts to escape being criticised, abused and condemned by the righteous indigna tion of an honest and liberty loving people, then it must mend its ways and get rid of the political bosses that are now running it to destruc tion. It must get rid of the men who conceived and executed the crime of raping the ballot last No vember. LIGHT IS BREAKING. In its issue of May 1 the New York Daily Financial News, a paper of thirty years standing, takes the bold ground that it is not the Sherman law which has caused the gold ex port ; ' that there are 500 other rea sons which can be given for the gold shipments ; that the demands of the We6t and South for more currency are just ; that there is not circulat ing medium enough in the country; that merchants are compelled to pay unusually high rates for money ; and that it "begins to look as if the whole world was suffering mostly from the dry rot enforced by a scarcity of mo ney." "Dry rot," that describes the disease of nearly every Southern town and the entire business of agricul ture. We are glad to see this state ment. It is an evidence that even in Wall street there are men who recog nize the true gravity of the financial situation, and the real remedy as well The Raleigh correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger got off a lot of political rot that has no founda tion in fact, Saturday. Among oth er things he said "a gentleman told him that he saw Marion Butler on his way to Holly Springs, Friday, and that he had a national flag with him." Bro. Butler was not at Holly Springs and did not start there. Hence it is easily surmised that some body hatched up the whole story. Prog. Farmer. This is nothing unusual. That little trigger-tailed Aunanias Ral eigh correspondent manufactures anything at anytime to suit his pur poses. ' The trouble is not over yet. The town of Richlands, OnsloV county, elected two Populist commissioners and one Democrat at the recent mu nicipal election. We repeat that it looks like the towns are "going into politics." What is the matter with the machine anyhow ? Progressive Farmer. LaGrange, a town on the North Carolina II. R., below Goldsboro, did the same thing. The complaint is catching. . Senator Hoar announces through the press that the Republicans in senate and congress will support President Cleveland in his financial policy. TARIFF. x nere is no uouut mat tann re duction would bring some relief to our people. During the campaign the tariff was abused as the worst ini juity ever put upon a confiding people. Is it not strange that the present administration does not take immediate steps to remove this evil ? If it is bringing the people to ruin as fast as the campaign speakers said it id why does not Mr. Cleveland call an ex tra session of congress and have it reduced to a "revenue basis," what ever that is ? Is it possible that this abominable tariff only robs the farm er during the campaign ? They told you that this infamous tariff cost you over a billion dollars per year. Does this Democratic administration intend to sit idly down and wait un til a "convenient" time when they could go to work and save each per son, according to their own estimates, ubout twelve dollars apiece each year ? A good many of the voters who voted for Mr. Cleveland need this twelve dollars per year. It be longs to them morally and they were assured that Democratic success would save it to them. Why is not an extra session called to repeal this "tariff of abominations?" Demo cratic voter, sit down and thinic. Last fall when "tariff" was mention ed you almost had fits. If you had knowu that you would have to en- j dure four years more of high tariff you would have felt like committing suicide to escape such an enormous swindle. Taxed shoes, taxed hats, taxed shirts, taxed everything and you groaning under debt. Dear vo ter are these taxes any easier to pay under Mr. Cleveland than under Mr. j Harrison ? When you have to pay out about one-fourth of your "hon est" dollar in tariff taxes on what you buy is it any comfort to you to know that you pay it under a Demo cratic administration ? Is it sweeter to be robbed by a friend than an" en emy? If the Democratic party is the "people's party" as your papers and speakers said it was, why does it not look after the people's inter est? DEMOCRATS FOR SPOILS. We clip the following from the Charlotte Observer which shows what men who hanker for the flesh pots, think of their Postmaster General : "Law Partner Bissell on Saturday last went a step beyond any previous ruling when he gave out that no presidential postmaster would be re moved before the expiration of his term, except for cause, and no fourth class postmaster (these having no term) would be removed in the ab sence of charges. And then the block head added insult to injury by saying that this policy would be best for "doubtful States like Virginia and North Carolina." How did this pot-bellied provincial from Buffalo acquire the experience in politics or the knowledge of the situation in these two "doubtful States" which justifies him in making oracular de liverances about what is the "best policy" for them ? We have resisted the conclusion as long as possible : Bissell is what the Chicago Herald says Ward McAllister is just an or dinary, every-day, mouse-colored ass." Such ringsters vote the Democratic ticket for pay, for the spoils they can get out of it. They whoop up the people to vote the ticket so they can get the offices and pocket the peoples taxes in the shape of salaries while the people get poorer. This same paper said a few days ago that Baldy Williams was a better Democrat than it thought he was. The reason for this opinion was that Williams was trying to get a party heeler appoint ed to office. As another proof of the Observer's idea of Democracy read the following : "Secretary Carlisle is one member of the administration who seems to have an intelligent conception of what the people meant when they went to the polls last November. He is bouncing the Republicans and Mugwumps in the Treasury Depart ment right along." You see the party was not elreted to give the poople relief at all. Those who have an "intelligent conception" of the victory know that it was sim ply to give office to the hungry politicians. GOLDSBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1893.

(Continued from Issue of May 11th.) Tlir Election Law At It la. Sec. 2G91. The members of th several boards of election to whom the original returns or statements of the result of the election in the pre eincts, wards or townships to which uiey respectively belong, shall have been delivered as directed in the preceding section, shall constitute the board of county canvassers for such election in the county in which such precinct, ward or township shall be situated; and the register of deeds of such county shall be the clerk of such boards, unless the board shall elect another person in his place. A It Would Be Amended. Sec. 2G91. The members of the board of county canvassers to whom the original returns or statements of the result of the election in the pre cincts, wards or townships to which they respectively belong, shall have been delivered as directed in the preceding section, shall constitute the board of county canvassers for such election in the county in which such precinct, ward or township shall be situated; and the register of deeds of such county shall be the clerk of such boards, unless the board shall elect another person in his place. The Amendment to Sec. 2G91 provides that the original returns of the vote at each election preciuct shall be delivered to the man elected by the township to serve on the Board by county canvassers to canvass the re turns from the whole county. Under the present law the man who takes these returns may be a man that few of the people have "confidence in. He is just the kind of man that the partv machine selects. If thev want to commit fraud, they get a man for this place who will commit fraud for the party. And remember that under the present law this same machine can select just the man they want from any township. Under the Amend ment the people ir each township would select this man. One township would select a man of one politital party, while' anothar township would select a man of a different party. This plan would not only get the best and fairest men for this important work, hut would give all sides repre sentatives according to the will of the people in the various townships. Is tnis not rigntr is it uot tain' l iien why should anv honest man, who is in favor of the people ruling, oppose it? Why did the Legislature vote it down? The Amendmeut is Democratic, it is iu favor of local self gov ernment and the people will down the men and the party that fights this. Ssc. 2G92. A majority of the mem bers of the several precinct boards of election who shall have been ap pointed to attend the meeting of the board of county canvassers a& mem bers thereof, shall constitute such board. Sec 2G92. A majority of the mem bers of the board of county canvass ers who shall have been elected as provided above to attend the meeting of the board of county canvassers as members thereof, shall constitute such board. The Amendment to Sec. 2092 simply amends ii to conform with . the former amendments. Sec. 2694. The board of county canTr.'prs shall, at their said meet ing, in the presence of the sheriff and of such electors as choose to attend, open and canvass and determine the returns, and make abstracts, stating the number of legal bollots cast in each precinct for each office, the name of each prson voted for, and the number of votes given each per son for each different office, and shall sign the same. Sec. 2G94. The board of county canvassers shall, at their said meet ing, in the presence of the sheriff and of such electors as choose to attend, open and canvass and judicially de termine the returns, and make ab stracts, stating the number of legal ballots cast in each precinct for each office, the name of each person voted for, and the number of votes given each person for each different office, and shall sign the same. Said board shall have power and authority to judicially pass upon all the facts re lative to the election, and judicially determine and declare the true result of the same; and they shall also have power and authority to send for pa pers and persons, and examine the latter on oath. The Amendment to Sec. 2694 cuts out the word "Judicially" where- ever it appears in the section and also takes from the returning Board the pow er to go behind the returns and throw out townships, even where . the judges had signed the returns and testified that everything was fair and just You will remember the editorial which we published two weeks ago on the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Scarborough vs. Com misioners of Davie county. "The Supreme Court then decided that the county canvassing Boards did not have the power to go behind the re turns and throw out townships, but simply had the power to count the vote as it was sent in and to declare the results. We also told you in the same article how the bosses had the law changed by amending section 2694 so as to give to the Board this extraordinary power. They got the Legis lature to over-rule the Supreme Court, and for what purpose, you saw for the first time in the late election. There were more townships thrown out on last November than ever before in the history of the State, Even the Republican party in its worse days never stooped to such wholesale fraud and corruption to defeat the will of the people. This power would be un democratic and unsafe even if the people were to elect the County Can vassing Board, but is ten times worse when the Board is appointed bv the machine to serve the machine instead the people. When the People's party get3 in power (and the people will put in power before long if the old parties do not mend their ways very quick) it could if had no regard for Democratic principles and the will of the peo keep itself in power by such methods, even if the people should- vote to condemn it at the polls. That is it could do it for awhile, but sooner or later if it did, the people would rise up in their honest indignation and drive it from power. The people are law abiding and conservative, but they are not slaves nor children and will not be trifled with when they know all the facts. But the People's party is pledged to correct this system and if put in power will do it. The old parties do not even promise to correct these evils. They know they can never again get a majority of the votes of the people, and the only hope of the bosses to get in power and get the offices is to pervert the will of the people. But the people will not suffer it again. Mark the prediction! (To be Continued.) tub rcoru: or cauarkis IGNORANTLY READ. We have received many letters from our subscribers saying that when they would mention the fact that the congressmen voted them selves $100. extra a month for clerk hire to a partisan Democrat that he would at once vehemently deny that it was bo, and say that he had seen nothing about it in the papers. The trouble with such Democrats is that they do not read the right paers to be informed. They read those that deliberately try to suppress every fact that' they . think might injure the "dear party." Many a fact would be smothered and never get to the people were it not for what Lady Mackbeth Caldwell calls the "refawm press." Many honest Dem ocrats are finding this out and are subscribing for The Caucasian.

This bonnet is made on a frame which is bent up front and back and is covered with black net, folded in the ; centre. Over this are put flounces of black Chantilly laoe about six inches wide. A piece of lace about two yards long is joined together, and gathered to the frame, forming a box pleat back and front, above the point It is edged at the top with jet passementerie, wax beads and spangles about an inch in width. The front is trimmed with a butter fly bow made of wired lace and edged with the pasementerie. The bow is made of four partsj two must be about five and a half inches long and two inches wide and one end and half and inch at the other. The other two are of equal width and are four inches long. From this bow rises an aigrette pink feath ers. The tie strings are of pink vel vet ribbon an inch wide, arranged in dainty loops and ends behind, from which the strings proceed. Now go and buy your frame and trimming. The distinguishing point of large hats is the low crown, while there are scarcely two with brims of the same identical character, the fancy of the milliner lending the caprioiousness that the block may have failed to incorporate in the shape. As a rule the brim is narrow at the back, wid ening oat and flaring at the front; out there are models with the brim medium wide, cleft and turned up the back; and the plain flaring brim is varied by volnted brims, brims curled up at the sides and at the front, or otherwise departing from severe or simple lines.
