We clow-d our eJitorial on the Hobgood mw-ting la.t week rather hurriedly to leave for Greenville, where we spoke on Tuesday. We wish to say that Hon. M. 1 Wwl, of liertie, was present at the meet ing, and in answer to the call from the audience made an excellent speech, which showed thought and careful preparation. Uev. T. W. Itabb, of the l'ei'iuirnans Itecord, j was 'dm present. He has for a long1 time been a member of the Alliance, but has just come to the conclusion that there is no way to get the Alli ance demands except through the l'opulist party. His paper (The liecord) is squire in the middle of the road, and will do great feood for the cause in Kastern Carolina. In answer to a call for a speech he arose and said, that he would not attempt to make a speech but to do what the times and the situation made it the duty of every patriot to do, that was. to tell on which side he stood. Mr. Babb then proceeded to explain why his conscience and a sense of duty forced him to renounce the Demo cratic party and to enlist in the tight for humanity under the Populist banner. He said that he voted for Mr. Cleveland and the Democratic party in the last campaign, but that he had been deceived, and from now on he said that he was with the peo ple no matter what the consequences were. Mr. Babb is a gentleman of fine appearance and excellent deliv ery, l'oth speeches made a fine im pression. OUR RAILWAY MILEAGE AND TRAVEL The statistical report of the Inter state Commerce Commission, of which an abstract was published in the (Washington) Post recently, is a valuable and instructive compilation of railway data for the year ending June :U, 1892. It shows the total railway mileage of the country to have been up to that time between 171,000 and 172,000 miles. A more recent estimate, including the following six months, as made by Poor's Manual, makes the total length of track laid to December 31-, 1892, 175,223 miles, over 3,000 miles haTing been completed since the close of that fiscal year, and the net increase of mileage during the year being nearly 4,000 miles. The vastness of this system is more impressively realized when we take into consideration that the total number of passengers carried by the railways for the year named was 500,958,211, or nearly nine times the total population of the United States. If these passengers had been car ried at the rate of one and a half cents a mile, it would have still made a handsome profit for the railroads. DO YOU WANT $i.oolN CASH? To contribute to the Polk Monu ment fund? Send us a club of ten subscribers for one year each and we will give you $1.00 to place to the Polk Monument fund. In this way you can contribute to honor the memory of our late beloved Presi dent, and at the same time help to push on the great work for which he gave his life by extending the circu lation of The Caucasian. You can aid in both of these great objects without it costing you a cent. You pan do it by simply following in the line of duty marked out by the la mented Polk. By giving The Cau casiajt 1Q,000 more subscribers you will pile up a fund of $1,000 for the monument. In short the friends of The Caucasian can build the monument in this way alone. Let every one put the ball in motion and the work will be done. By the time the monument is built the great principles for which Col. Polk gave his life blood will be ready to sweep North Carolina, if not the whole pountry. tf. PON'T NEGLfCT YOUR LOCAL- TALENT At every picnic county meeting o the Alliances get out some of your Joeal talent to speak. Let us now be developing the talent that must fight the battles of the people soon. The elements of greatness are now- lying dormant n some man in every community jn liporth, Carolina. If tlje failure of some speaker to come whom you expect, causes you to awaken the dormant talents of some of your neighborhood boys, then you would have a greater success than if you had hat a dozen "big speakers" present. SEND AT ONCE. Don't wait a week! Let us hear from you at once. The Caucasian certainly ought to haye over 20,000 subscribers. The sooner the names are received, the sooner the work of makiug converts will begin. Give us double the readers and we will da ,tKiu tho irnnd each week. Send in 11 U UIV v- - a club AT QNCE. THE REMEDY THE ALLIANCE DEMANDS JUCGE BATTLE An announced in Tm; Caitamas at week, Judge Connor has tender ed his resignation to take effct Oct. the 20th, and (iov. Carr hasapjoint- eil to fill the vacancv Mr. Jacob S. iattle of Kocky Mount. Thin an ointment is a eurprise. If Mr. Iiat- tle has any marked ability as a law yer, he has certainly succeled in concealing the fact. To try to draw attention from this fact, the party organs, w hen referring to the apjoint- meut, lav stress on the fact that Mr. attle belonged to one of the upper ten Hest families." This smacks of Knglish codfish aristocracy. But it is the kind of appointment we might have expected our "me too" Govern or to have made. It is reported that Governor lUilroad Carr before making the apjointment telegraphed to Conductor Jar vis for orders. If this is incorrect, we will be glad to make correction. We also under stand that Mr. Battle (the new Judge), is the attorney for the W. & W. Ii. IL Was it this fact that re commended him to the reform Gov ernor? The people will also remem ber that this Mr. Battle, who is to perform the grave and very import ant duties of Judge in our State, was member of the last legislature, when the unfair, cowardly and con temptible effort was made to reeal the charter of the State Alliance. Did this man, (in whom Gov. Carr says he has found the proper quali ties for a just and righteous Judge), rise and protest against such unjust action and indecent haste about so grave and important a matter? Did iw even protest that it was at least unfair to take snap judgment on the Alliance and repeal its charter with out even giving them a hearing? The rime against justice and fair play committed by the Legislature, (to which Mr. Battle was a party), was not committed on the spur of the moment when tumultuous action prevented the mind from having an opportunity tor due deliberation; but it was a crime, the result of premed itation and deliberation. Then Mr. Battle, one of the perpetrators of this crime, is either wanting in suffi cient intelligence to understand the nature and result of his action, or else he is wanting in those qualties of mind and heart which not only a Judge, but even a justice of the peace should have. A Judge should be a man with that quality of heart and poise of mind that the rights of the poor, the unprotected, even if absent, would be as carefully guard ed as if present and represented by the ablest counsel. Mr. Battle must be born again both in mind and spirit, before he will measure up to such a standard. Is it possible that it was also his conduct in the last Legislature as well as belonging to the best family" that recommended him to Governor Carr? We can't blame Mr. Battle so much for being what he is, for probably the leopard could not change his spots, but the moral refraction of the Governor's executive glasses need adjusting, so that he cau find a man without those spots that mirk a man with a mind narrow enough and a soul small enough to make a typical blind par tisan. NOW IS THE TIME. To push the circulation of The Caucasian. The heat and passion of the last campaign has passed away. The people are now in a "think ing mood." To read a paper like Th Caucasian every week will make a convert of nine men out of ten be fore the next campaign opens. They will then see that it is to their duty to wash their hands of the two old monopoly ridden parties. They will see that it is to their in? terest to vete for the Populist candi date for congress. There has never been a better time to get the truth and the facts before the people. Tf there is a member of the Populist party in your commu nity who is not reading, get him to take The Caucasian by all means. A man who does not keep up with the procession of thought and action will soon be dead weicht on the movement. WANTED.

From the Congressional Record, Oct. luth. Mr. IBBV. Mr. President, I am the only farmer in the Senate, the) only member of this body whose sole occupation is farming. 1 represent the farming element of South Caro- , T . . lina, but I can also say, for I feel that I represent the farming aud pro-j ducing element of the entire nation, , , , . ... , . . , 1 believe that it will not be denied that the farmers of this country have a deep, vital interest in the great question now at issue before the sen ate. That interest is not something new. Their relations to the money j tjuestion, while they have always j been close, became very prominent and came home to them in a most practical and substantial manner when the demonetization of silver was effected in 1873. That was to i him a hew era, not unlike that in many respects of the new conditions with which he was confronted at the close of the war. When the war closed the soldier of the South re turned to a land which had lost ev ery thing. The difficulties with which he was beset have ofteu been described but I believe neverwith ad equate force or detail, uor shall I at tempt it now. ruin and desolation. I could perhaps sum it all up in the statement that he came out of the war without money, without home, and without hope. He left ruin in his track as he left his home, and he found it there on his return. His friends were abandoned for years, the soil had deteriorated, debts had accumulated, his home was in ruins, there was utter desolation at home and in the fields. The re turned farmer, and even those who were not soldiers, began life anew, opposed by obstacles such as seldom fall to the lot of an industrious peo ple. their, political heritage. I could draw a picture of the mis fortunes, the terrible struggles made by my own people to restore their fal len fortunes, of the heroic sacrefices made, of the long and patient endur ance, of want, self-denial and all the ills of enforced poverty, but as I have said that all has been vividly depicted in the history written and unwnuen 01 oui couotx... . . r . i. I f through all that trying period our people remained as they were from the bprrinnirnr Democrats of Demo- the beginning Democrats of Demo crats. Although bankrupt in ior tune they clung with devotion to their political heritage aDd by the indomitable courage which they ex hibited on the field of battle they had to a large extent recouped their fortunes in the period from 18G5 to 1873 when the act destroying the money of the plain people was passed. THE CRIME OF 18,3. From that time to this the farmer has grown poorer aud poorer, but through it all he has stood like an iron wall iu defense of the principles and doctrines of the Democratic party, hoping through this agency to be allowed to make an honest liv ing and get pay for his services as a laborer, a toiler, and producer. His v v'" V' :' 7 'ij main reliance for this end was the restoration of the Democratic party to power in the branches of congress; but it has been in vain, for now that we are in control we are asked to yield to the forces which have al ways and persistently opposed us.

As the representative of our people I would lie derelict in uiy duty were I to fail at this time to voice their .sentiments and to utter in this pres ence their solemn protest against what is now threatened to he enact ed. Our people are Democrats from principle. The Democratic party is their party. They do not propose to he driven out of it by the President or any of the self constituted leaders of the Democratic patty of this na tion. A party is what the people who heloutf to it make it and demand that it shall be. My people were honestly opposed in the first place to the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. 1 am now opposed to the proposition under discussion. I am opposed to it because it is wrong and undemo cratic 1 am opposed to it as a man, as a .Svnator, and as a Democrat. I K R K 'OXC 1 1, A 1'. E I) I KK E R E XCES. . This country is now supposed to have a democratic majority in the ; ijouse aud Senate and a democratic Executive and I wish to sav that no i m u norable body, or out iot't, has tried harder to reconcile ; his ideas of duty and responsibility with the wishes of the Executive and lus menus who now propose to co erce the Senate than I have.

THE MAKNKK OF DEMOCRACY. It is this love and fealty I bear to the cause of Deuoeracy that has prompted me to keep silent aud strain every nerve in an effort to conform, if possible, to the wishes and policy of the powers that be in the democratic party; but, sir, when I see the mantle of democracy used to coyer Republican monopolists while they rob the great common peo ple, this same sentiment that has prompted me to silence and obedience bids me imperatively to call a halt and revolt against such an imposi tion upon democracy and justice as is now proposed. I cannot keej my seat and see the banner of democracy submerged in the cesspool of Wall street greed, nor can I remain silent and see it polluted to the basest uses by the protected hand of monopolist ic avarice from New England- THE DISTINCTION" ItETWEEX DEMOC RACY AND CLEVELAND. Call it what you will, I propose to stand for true democracy, so true, in fact, that I will denounce those who propose and follow republican meth ods while masquerading in democra tic clothes, no matter who they be even to the President himself. I am deeply grieved to say this, but hon esty and truth compel me, and before 1 shall have finished, my brier re marKS for I shall occupy a few min utes I propose to draw the line of demarcation between the democracy and the administration methods of to-day so plainly that never again in the history of this country need they be confounded, A FUTILE AXD HUMILIATING RESORT.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM REPUDIATED. We believe that it was unjust, un fairand undemocratic for the na- tional convention to use the Kepre- sentatives of Republican States to foist upon us a nominee that does not represent us, but it is also lla- grantly wrong that that nominee, after his election, to use the Repub lican party to pass laws that mean rum and destruction to the plainer und poorer class of the South and West.

I Ills idea of a kingdom of li.nl, i belongs to the sjtllie ea tl'gorj . It j was the name gicli by the prophet I and rt ftomer, .Jesus of Nazareth, lo the new toder of lile who h he i'iue to establish among men. It was the great ettllceptloli which filled His j mind and was constantly mi His bps. "The kingdom of heaven is likened unto" this "iikeiied unto" that was the great bunlt n ot His teach ings. But the concept ion itself did not originate with .lesus and His times It had been clearly ougges- ted by some o ' the old prophets. whose prediction ntt eanic to fulfill. The prophets had abundantly fore told the future glory of the .It-wit.li nation tinder the symbol to be etnb lishcd by "the God of heaven." "In the days of these king,"1 Kay Daniel, "shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed-" So, an tlii kingdom was to be set up by thfi "(mm of heaven," it was tjuite natural for 'hii.t, who had come to entabhthetl this kingdom, to speak tif it both an the "Kingdom of God" .and "'h Kingdom of heaven." Accordingly both his forerunner and Himitelf came proclaiming "the Kingdom of heaven is at hand," and Jcmm literally spent his life in trying to J explain what this heavenly kingdom was like. But layiug aside, for the tiinw be ing, all questions and theories of the theologians as to the mystical mean ings ff this kingdom, let us consider, in the light of reason and common sense, the substance and spirit of this beautiful conception of a king dom of heaven on earth, as present ed by the Great Teacher, Himself, uncorruptetl by the mystification tf the theological doctor For le it iu.ember'd, tn mor Christ's teach ing have been "doctored" the worne it has been both for Christianity and ihe world. So, freeing our minds from theological inventions and su perstitions on the Hubjeet, we shall find this bealitiful doctrine of the kingdom of heaven an presented by the author, one of the most interest ing and soiil-in-piring studies in tht moral, social and religious history of the world. And it is remarkable that, though Christ spoke of it ait His kingdom, He never spoke of it as already come, but as coniiug just at hand, but yet to come. He describes it under a twofold charac ter. First, as a great external event of the most extraordinory character, of national import, a terrible rending and overthrow of the .Jewish state in the destruction of their capitol city, .Jerusalem. Employing the high wrought, Oriental style, He dencriW this event in the most vivid meta--priors as "the corning of the MOti of man in clouds of heaven with all the holy angels the darkening of sun and moon, the falling of the stars aud shaking of the powers of heaven." All of which wa to tran spire after he left th world, but during the life time of that genera tion. And it did so occur, though by a strange perversion of under standing, and a grossly literal inter pretation of figurative langage, many sincere Christian ministers are still preaching this "second eoming" as an event yet in the future. Bat the other and main aspect under which Christ presented this king dom of heaven was a moral and spir itual power to come into the live and hearts of the people, bringing with it a state of peace, happiness, harmony, justice, law and brother hood among men. To tbe ind vidua! it was to be something of tbe most precious value, even as "a treasure (Continued on Second Page.) J
