JACKSON'S DAY,
Lust Monday was the uriniverrury
of the battle of New Orleans (dun.
feth, 1815). A custom had grown up!
' 1 c , ;
to celebrate the anniversary of that j
event in history a Jackson's Day.

Jast Monday many Democratic (?)
banquets were held at various- places
in the country in honor of the day.
ut strange to (-av those who arti- i
cipated in these meetings are hitter j
enemies to the principles of Democ-;

during Jackson's- administration that j
parlies were divided on new linen, or
rather upon new names. The strict

ensued was bitter and protracted.
The fight which Jackson made,
against the National hanks, the
money power and all oppressive mo
nopolies was greater than his light
against (Jen. l'arkenham at New Or
leans. Yet those who glorified .Jack
son on last Monday were Democra
tic (?) National bankers and go d
bugs. And these are the men who
have perverted the parly and dest roy
ed Democracy. They hate real de
mocracy, but use the name to fool
the people. They know that there
are thousands of men who will vote
any ticket with the Democratic label
on it, before they would vote for the
principles of JeflVrson and Jackson
under another name.
SiLLY AND WEAK.
The Charlotte Observer, after
(pioting the statistics showing that
theie are now 1 miles of rail
road in the hands of receivers, says
that this is one of the best reasons
why the government should not op
erate the roads, the fact that they
are not paying. Now the truth is
that these roads pay in the hands of
their owners and they pay in the hands
of receivers which is government
management. The receivers of the
Richmond & Danville l 11. publish
ed their report the other day and
jdace when a road goes into the
liands of a receiver it does not mean
necessarily that the road is not pay
ing. Nine times out of ten it means
that a deal is on hand or that a big
road is ready to swallow a little one.
It means that these great transporta
tion lines are combining for profit
and power. The article in the Ob
server is so silly and weak that we
doubt if Mr. Caldwell wrote it.
K. CF L. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
General Master Workman Sover
eign has issued an address to the
Knights of Labor calling upon them
to tight the issue of bonds as recom
mended by Cleveland. Ie says:
"The issuing of bonds is an out
rage upon a liberty loving people
atd should brand with eternal in
famy every man connected with the
disreputable transaction."
The Knights of Labor did a wise
thing when they put Sovereign at
the head of the organization. He
has convictions and the courage to
stand for the right, lie advises the
Knights to stop striking and to make
themselves felt at the ballot box.
This is sense.
THE NEWBERNE FAIR.
We have just received the premium
list of the 7th Annual Exhibition of
the East Carolina Fish, Oyster,
Game and Industrial Association, to
be held at Newberne February 19,
20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. The New
berne fairs are unique and have at
tracted wide attention. All who
have attended in the past were de
lighted with their trip.
The Democrats in congress can't
get together even on the tariff bill.
Speaker Crisp offered to recognize
the People's party by giving them as
a distinct party a certain time for
debate, if the People's party congress
men would help the Democrats to
make a quorum. This proposition
was declined. That was right. If
Speaker Crisp will not recognize the
People's party when he doea not
want their help then they would de
grade themselves to accept recogni
tion under such conditions.
Attorney General Osborne has
given the Governor his ruling on the
constitution about the election of
Judges to fill vacancies. His opin
ion is that when the people elect a
man J udge to fill a vacancy that he
is elected not to fill unexpired term
but for a full term of eight years

Hut if it is a fact that the govern
ment must raise money from some
source for necessary expenses, then
congress ought to raise the tariff
even higher than the McKinley bill
to get it to a revenue basis. The peo
ple had rather stand the McKinley
bill than have an issue of bonds.
Ilut it seems to us that these is a
better solution of the question than
this. If the expenses of the govern
ment are now greater than the reve
nue from the Republican high tariff,
would it not be wise and just to the
tax payers to reduce the expenses of
CAPT. OLDHAM AFTER BOSS RANSOM.
In another column will be found
a communication from Capt. W. P.
Oldham, of Wilmington. He says
that the Wilmington paper would
not publish his communication as he
wrote it, so he sends it to Thk Cau
casian which is never afraid to pub
lish the truth Notice the bold and
positive statements which Capt. Old
ham makes about Hansom: He
charges
First, That Kansom is double-faced
and dishonest.
Second, That Kausom might take
a bribe and did not get mad till he
found that there was no money in
his offer.
Third, lie charges that Ransom is
office broker m Washington. That
means that he helps those to get olli
ces who will pay him most. But
Ransom had to turn traitor to his
people and flop to Cleveland's gold
bug policy before he could get these
oflices to speculate on. What a dis
grace to North Carolina to be repre
sented at Washington bv such a man !
TO DOUBLE THE CAUCASIAN'S CIRCU
LATION. Nothing would be more gratifying
to the true friends of the People's
party in North Carolina, nor contrib
ute more joy to the men w ho stand
at the helm of the great and grow
ing movement in our beloved State,
than to see the subscription list ot
TiiE Caucasian doubled during the
spring of 1894. This can be easily
done. Ltt every subscriber devote
one day to soliciting new subscribers.
Do this and it will be one big step
toward carrying the People's party
to victory next fall. The Caucasian
puts the facts before the voter and
then appeals to his heart and intel
lect. A converted man by this
means, can not be fooled, bull-dozed
or bought to vote an old party ticket.
Give one day now to the People's
party that will bear much fruit next
fall.
In 1SGG a committee representing
manufacturers of woollen goods ap
peared before a Kepubliean congress
in Washington and asked for a tariff
of 25 per cent, to protect their in
fant industries for a few years. They
said that in a few years they could
get along without any protection.
The Kepubliean congress gave them
what they asked for. From that day
till this the Democratic party has
been denouncing Republican protec
tion as robbery. To-day the Demo
cratic party is in power, and the
Wilson tariff bill gives these same
manufacturers of woollen goods 40
per cent, protection, 15 per cent.
more robbery than the Kepublicans
made for them in 1SCG, Oh that

ple will be fooled by it in the next

There i a clear In-morratie major

to prevent the paity from redeeming
its promises to give the people relief.
So tar, instead of wiping out bad
laws and giving the people good laws,
they have niad'- matters worse. They
have slipped into the shoes of the
bepiiblirau party and have out-'Her-otled
llerod. Where are the men
that the W. ik W. railroad and oth-
ers claimed that they had acquired
"vested riirhts" through their char
ters and that therefore the Legisla
ture was powerless to legislate to
correct certain ev ils. So odious to
North Carolinians was this idea of
"vested rights" that the new consti
tution of North Carolina provide
that no such rights shall accrue from
any charter etc.
Kev. Thomas Dixon has informed
the American Press Association that
after Jan. 1st, '91, he will no longer
furnish his sermons for publication.
The reasons he gave aie as follows :
"1 am not yet ;J0 years old I am
writing too much thus early in life
I desire to spend several years in
and study 1 find the method of ad
vance preparation of manuscript for
the press an intolerable drain on mv
time and energies." The Cacca
siax sincerely regret that the public
cau no longer get the beuetitof these
excellent sermons.
The machine methods of the Dem
cratic party iu North Carolina, un
der the ehction law are sufficient to
bring down the condenmnatiou of
all honest people.
It offers a reward to dishonesty
It makes perjurers. It corrupts the
people. It makes a farce of fret
government. Down with it!
See in another column a timelv
letter from Cumberland. Our cor-
responuant has sized up the situa
tion admirably. Will Mr. Hale ac
cept the advice to probe deeper." If
he is honest in his fight, if he loves
truth and justice more than he doe
party, he will do it. His present
methods are childish and fertile.
In 1SGG the Federal income-tax
yielded about seventy millions of
dallars. V hy is it now assumed
that an income-tax would not yield
half as much ?
An income tax now ought to yield
ten times as much as it did in
18G0.
Devote one dav to getting new sub

will be worth more than any day you
will spend in the campaign next
summer.

CI.OTIIKS LINE.
The Democratic party in North
Carolina went early into the laundry
business at the beginning of this ad
ministration. The clot lies line was
stretched in plain view, and some of
its pharapheinalia indicated the hard
sembling and pieguent oblutions
that have taxed the "machine'' to
its highest capacity. But the forced
resignation of Elias as Collector of
the Western District removes the
wash-tub to the rear of the premises,
where its soiled underwear can be
laundried without offense to a sensi
tive and curious public.
ELIAS KF.SIONATIOX.
There was a time when Elias' les
ignation or withdrawal in the inti r
est of party harmony, would have
been creditable tohim ami disastrous
to Senator Vance, but the opportun
ity was allowed to pass. He was
mislead and ill-advised. The Presi
dent was advised fully of the charg
es, afterwards preferred against
him by Senator Vance when his nom
ination was before the Senate Fi
nance Committee. Against these
charges were marshalled volumes of
personal letters, petitions and other
forms of endorsements from almost
every reputable man in North Caro
lina. The original appointment, un
der the circumstances, was a vindi
cation, and the subsequent non-action
of the Senate was not necessar
ily a reflection. He was mislead,
underating Vauces' personal strength
in the Senate due in this instance
to the anti-administration sentimeuT
on the silver question. When Elias
was appointed Senator Ransom,
knowing the accusations against
him, was confluent of a speedy eon-
Urination, but when the extra ses
sion of Congress met Ransom found
himself in a hopeless, pitiful admin
istration minority. From that day
Elias was doomed to defeat. Vance
had another string to play on, which
made the defeat of the man (so in
tensely obnoxious to him; certain.
It was F. M. Simmons. A practi
cally solid Republican and Populist
vote was .ready to brand Simmous'
election methods as Chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, as disreputable and infa
mous. The "branding irons" were
put in Vances' hands; they were
kept at white heat ready for action
waiting eagerly for the thrice re
peated words, "Ood save the State."
Weeks and weeks ago Senator Ran
som saw and knew what everybody
else now sees and knows. To save
Simmons Elias must be sacrificed to
Vances' personal resentment. Af
ter one hours uninterrupted inter
view, the understanding was reached
between tlie baffled "boss" and the
victorious Vance, that Elias would
resign and that M. E. Carter should
succeed him. This got out; was
promptly denied and the deception
was kept up until Elias resignation
made it no longer necessary. The

SIMMON'S' CUNFIRMATIIIN'.
After congratulating the big
"boss" on the appointment of
Charles- as postmaster at High Point
against "the machine" endorsement,
Simmons left town with assurances
of Senator Vance's distinguished
consideration. Elias' resignation
ends the fight on Simmons. Sena
tor Vance authorizes this statement
to the surprise of some people
who believed fie was influenced by
higher and stronger motives than
selfishness. There has been an ex
travagant amount of lying and de
ception about this business through
out, and it has been dished out ad

ing public. It has beeu xaluable
only as illustrating to the common

THE ONLY SPECK OF WAR
on the Democratic horizon, is the
contest between Bernard of the Wil
mington Star and 'Squire Bellamy,
the "boss of Town Creek" Brunswick
county, over a department appoint
ment. Bellamy's experience and
recotd as an expert gives him the
advantage over Bernard.
It was Bellamy looking for
ward, not backward who dis
covered certain infinitismal, invisi
ble chemical strata in the paper
on which the Populist ballots
were printed in Brunswick,
which made the paper technically and
scientifically colored paper, and
therefore unlawful for election pur
poses. The discovery elected Bella
my to the legislature and is a trump
card in the hand he is playing for
the special agent's appointment.

bosses have endorsed him and his

pointment was made on account of

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf-
j ,iess' and that is h' constitutional
remeaies. ueatness is caused j an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever ; nine eases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be eured by

out. Then cut the lining exactly like j
tvm HU, them together, after
which hem the edge and draw it over j
the frame, fastening it to the ribs just s ;
hours' work to cover one.
HATS FOR NFAVTORT.
The parasols are hardly more filmy
and diaphanous than the hats for garden
parties and delightful carriage rides.
Some of them are 6imply white net or
chiffon or mull shirred onto the lightest
with" fluffy white plumes and a little rib
bon just enough to add that touch of
richness desirable. In some cases the
plumes are pale pink, blue or maize, and
the effect is in all cases charming.
Another dainty frame for a lovely face
is a lace straw, bent and wrinkled into
a dozen different shapes and bearing a
garden plot of soft, green velvet for
grass, out of which spring bunches of
lilacs and rosebuds, with their leaves.
For the children in their out door play,
and walks something more substantial
is required, and for a girl from 6 to 10
years old we have a quaint coal scuttle
trimmed with wide ribbons. This shades
the little face from the sunshine and is
durable enough to withstand sun and
wind.
For the young son of the household is
a wide brimmed sailor of French chip in
a variety of colors, but the size and
shape are the same. They are generally
worn pushed to the back of the head
when mamma is not by, but who cares
if a boy does get tanned?
A iork pie hat for a little girl or a
"growing girl" is another very useful
style, as the brim turns down in a man
ner to shade the face without binding
the ears.
When a hat is to be worn near the sea
ehore for ordinary, there should be nei
ther feathers nor flowers upon it, for the
damp air takes all the curl and "flufT"
out of the former and causes the latter
to come apart and lose color. Lace and
jet or ribbon of a very solid color are the
best trimming. Very pretty trimming
for straw hats can be made by wiring
6ome white lace and making it into a
butterfly bow to etand up in front.
Slender effects in jet can be used as an
tennae.
Two or three of the leaders of fashion
In Newport are to set a fctyle of wear
ing the Spanish lace mantilla. A prettier
or more graceful wrap was never in
vented, and it is wonderful that they
have never been worn before, but per
haps it was the presence of the infanta
which set the fashion. Besides it is
quite an art to get a mantilla on right.
To do so one should have the hair done
in a plain twist, with a high Spanish
comb set a little to the right at the top.
On the left Bide of the top of the head is
to be fastened a rote, and just behind
the left ear another. The mantilla
should be then opened and the flap part
be allowed to drop loosely toward the
forehead and then brought back to the
center of the back and fastened with
one pin, no more. The ends are then
crossed in the back, brought forward
over the bust to the waist line, where
the ends are held by another bunch of
roses at the waist.
There are several kinds, or rather pat
terns, for these, but the handsomest are
those made of old blonda lace, which is
no longer made and therefore quite rare.
The black lace is becoming to every one,
and it looks rich over black and delicate
ly light over less somber garments.
A young Spanish lady who has just
irrived from her own sunny land showed
me yesterday how to put on a mantilla,
and she says that only one pin should be
used, as more would give the lace s stiff
set appearance.

There ought to be a scientific investi

The guides are discovering new ones
every few weeks, and the supply is by
no means exhausted. The fact is, the
echoes are innumerable. They are due
solely to the shao of the roof, and an
architect familiar with the principles
of acoustics would in a few days solve
the bases of them all. The angles of
incidence and deflection are equal, and
every point has its corresponding echo.
