The young men are forced to tdille their progressive ideas and ac-et-pt the dicta of the mossbacks, ami besides were forced to use their young manhood for these fosils till death took them from the public arena. Now in North Carolina the next Legislature must so legislate as to completely destroy the last vestige of power of the old oligarchy to ap peal to the prejudices of good men. We have already forced the oligarchy to. seek the colored vote to save it from destruction. Now let us so act that the howl of IbfiSean never bo raised again by the ohgarchy to nideitsown short coinings. Let us act wisely and con servatively, yet at the same time be bold and progressive where jus tice and the needs of the people de mand it. This done and we will force the machine to meet us with an appeal to reason instead of an ap peal to prejudice. "When this is done then the people will everytime triumph and thi! machine will grow smaller with the increasing years. A NONPARTISAN (?) CURRENCY COM MISSION. The Xew York World discussing the financial condition of the country says: "The President bus about decided to recom mend in his coming lue-sage to Congress the appointment of a non-partisan commis sion to consider the w hole currency problem, ihe commission to be composed of bankers, business men and leading theorist on the currency question. This comes from very high authority in the Administration and is not mere speuil.ition. It is understood that the idea is so far advanced that, the Presi dent Las expressed the opinion that the com mission should consist of-'iine members and comprise four bankers, three business men and two college professors who have made a special study of finance." The four bankers will of course be gold bugs the "three business men" will ulso be gold bugs, all business men are not gold bugs, but it is easy to find three business men who are the "three college professors" will also be gold bugs, at least nine-tenths of the college professors are, and es pecially is this true of the professors who li!l the chair of political econ omy iu the colleges. When a gold bug or a monopolist gives a large amount of money to one of these colleges it is always w ith the under stainling that they shall teach the gold bug or the vested rights heresy to the students. Therefore this non partisan (?) currency commission will be a solid gold bug and monop oly commission. This is another dodge to fool the people, but it will not work, the peo ple have a last begun to read and think for themselves. The liepub licans stood by Cleveland in the last session of Congress when he struck down silver and betrayed the country into the hands of the gold bugs. It remains to be seen whether the Ke publican majority will now stand by him as they did in last Congress In this connection it is noticeable that the Xew York Tribune (the leading Eepublicau organ) endorses all of Cleveland's financial views. There will be no honost financial re form in ihis Congress nor the next. In fact the people will never get re lief from the oppression of monopoly and the money devil till they elect a People's Party Congress and a Peo ple's Party President. It will come. Dire necessity and self preservation will force it , TRUTm COMES ?TR ELECT OS lor many umitha The AICa j i-us ar,i ot.Vr reorci paper" taw i to..; the ;-vpJ. that o-j.- :;i'.ior.a financial olicv waj dictated bv th bankers of Wall fpwf. aud V (Jrocr Cke!.ii.J a tl.t servant, i'rior to the election rue' a charge a thi always licit J on' bursta of rath f rout the f o-' of the Grut Go!dli;g, Kfct -.t -'k I.-j ar-tiniala'io rapHlv to pro v. th.it ritch a chare; wai , i on fact The reek lea management of th linanees, the issuance of bond to redeem silver certituateg and green bucka, ujion the pretext of atrength ning the gold reserve reiiiim! one of the insane att rnjit to catch water in a wive.

'l l.is is a ilungeroiis state of affairs, and oiiKhttohe reiiHilied, even if drastic tueas iiren have to be resorted to. 'lhe Treasury uiivlit not to be dependent i: piju banks or any other institutions." He is right. Con-Kre-is ought to provide, first of all, that at h-ut half the duties or impoits i-hall be paid in gold. This is better than selling bonds, by which the public debt is increased in times of peace and the national bunking system, which ouht to yive place to a bet ter system, is perpetuated. This last is one of the great reasons w hy the bankers bring about conditions that induce the President to believe further issue of bonds is necessary. The above whs written by dooe plius Daniels. A ft w years ago when The Caucasian bean to turn the light on this condition of things, Mr. Daniels was one of the men to deny it and to ridicule our position. He now admits the truth btcau.se he is forced to do so. THE "DEADLY PRINCIPLE-" Mr. Cleveland is issuing bonds and turning them over to tLe for eign goldbugs and agreeing to pay j interest on these bonds. Whv does not Cleveland give the people a chance to take ,these bonds? The peo ple down here would take these bonds (give value received for them,) and not charge the government a single cent of interest. Gold and silver we have none, but such as w have we would give for them. That is we would give cotton, corn and other products of labor. These are more valuable thau gold. Gold would be worth nothing if these products were not made. A government bond that does not draw interest would circulate as mon ey. A government bond that does not draw interest is a government note or a greenback. Will the people take these bonds or greenbacks? Yes. Then why does not Mr. Cive land deal with his own people in stead of with the foreign goldbugs? Why does he not save interest and help his own people, instead of help ing the foreign shyloeks -and tax his own people to pay them interest? The difference between greenbacks which the people want and the gold bonds which the shyloeks want is the interest that the shyloeks get out of the people. Tom Watson commenting on this interest matter says: "Profound as a warrior, Napoleon was possibly still more unening as a mathme tician. booking up one day, after a prolonged study of the Compound Interest Table, Jie said: "1 am astonished that the deadly princi ple contained in this Table has not devoured the human race.' In an issue of Greenbacks the "deadly principle" of compound interest finds so stealthy partner in spoliation. In an issue of bonds, the "deadly princi ple" hiis despotic sway." Mr. Cleveland and his party is a traitor to the American people Cleveland ought to be impeached. The people have already impeached his party by their ballots. How any patriot can longer affiliate with the party of "perfidy and dishonor" is beyond our comprehension. The South and West must get together and they must do it in the People's party. The Wilmington Messenger in an editorial a few days ago said: "Ma rion Butler's opinions are not much relished in the north" and then proceeds to quote from the New York Herald who refered to him as a "mad man" and the New York WTorld which called him "a crank''. These papers were discussing Mr. Butter's financial views. It is very natural for goldbug organs to use the words crank and mad man when they have no argument to sustain their side. Two years ago the People's party vote in Pennsylvania was only 6,076. This year the People's party candi date the for Governor polled 19,404 votes. It this gain continues, by the next election the Democrats will be the"third party" in that State as it will soon be in the whole country. - General Master Workman Sover eign has been elected by the Nation al Council of the Knights of Labor.

Why.- Because the wholt money power of America and Kng land as well as every kind of species of monopoly known and unknown under the laws of our couutry, and in spite of them, will be contributed a corruption fund to I e sent this dis tni-t. And it is possible to defeat any mati who ever run for Cong 1 ess since the world began, with au un limited amount of money. Mr. Wat son has been entrapped on the ap parently fair plea of an appeal to the people, but he has made the fa tal mistake of overlooking the fact that while the great majority of vo ters in America are honest and in corruptible, that yet there is a pur chasable vote in every district, and that too often this purchasable vote holds the balance of power. True it is pity, pity it is true, but true it is nevertheless. Thus we will see a contest between one man without money against another man who will have behind him the combined money power and the monopolistic influence of the whole world. If Watson succeeds, it will be a mira cle in politics. JUDGE CLARK SUGGESTS CERTAIN REFORMS. . In another column will be found a very timely, able and interesting article from the peu of Associate Justice Walter Clark, lie makes a number of live and progressive sug gestions with reference to needed re forms that should have the attention of the next Legislature of North Carolina, aud the next Congress in the United States. It is a high com pliment to the reform movement that he makes these suggestions at this time. He did not make them two years ago to a Democratic Leg islature, and would not have made them now, in our opinion, if the Democrats had have carried the State. He kuows that reformers are in power, therefore he suggests the enactment of certain reforms which he has reasons to believe will receive favorable consideration. Mr. Iutler, the editor-in-chief of The Caucasian, has not been very well since the election, and this week is not able to be at the office, he will no doubt comment upon this article of Judge Clark's at length in next week's issue of The Caucasian.

This legislature, not upon party lines dividing on the 'jiiestiou, will doubtless pass a bill restoring six per cent as the lega1 limit for interest. Except in a few of the years since the wi,r this has oen the always recognized limit in North Carolina for two hundred years. Now when the profit on everything else is cut down there is no reason why money should receive undiminished and high profits When hankers form syndicates to force the government to issue bonds bearing o per cent interest, and N. C. 4 per cent bonds are above par, G per cent is certainly full value for the use of money. There can be no doubt that this has been the senti ment of the people of North Caro lina for ten years past. Probab'y a majority in each of the last four Legislatures has come to Raleigh in tending to restore the old (C per ceii') rate of interest. This was turned into a minority on each oc casion by argument after they reach ed Raleigh. But it is dangerous for the representatives of a free people to deem themselves too wise to exe cute the wishes of those who elect them. The only authority for any legislation in our country is that it expresses the sentiment of the ma jority of the people. Besides the alleged advantages to North Carolina of payiug a higher interest thau all the neighboring States from Massa chusetts to Georgia have never ma terialized. FREE PASSES. In the Constitution of the State of New York, just ratified by the peo ple at the polls, there is a paragraph in stringent language forbidding any public officer to receive or use, directly or indirecrly, any free pass, or transportation from any transpor tation company, or any f ran k from a telegraph or telephone company. A similar constitutional amendment should be adopted by our legislature irrespective of party. If adopted it will be ratified by overwhelming ma jorities at the polls. The corpora tions cannot object to this as they say that these favors are given with no intent to influence officials and are a sore tax upon them. The peo ple will be glad to vote for such an amendment. That the great State or jew i ork, as well as several oth ers, have seen tit to incorporate this provision in the organic law is suffici ent evidence that this is no trival matter. Give the people of North Carolina a chance to vote upon such an amendment at the polls and it win oe seen how tew will vote against it. ELECTION OF U. S. SENATORS. Twice by almost unanimous vote of the lower House of Congress an amendment to the Constitution of the U. S. has been adopted providing for the election of Senators by the people. Resolutions of many cot ventions of all political parties have endorsed this amendment, including. n i .. o ii i recoiiect aright, the .Democratic btate Convention held this year in Ohio, New York and Massachusetts. ihe bill is now before the Senate for action. It would be the expression of the popular will of our legislature irrespective of party should pass resolutions of instruction to our Senators to vote for it If thev are already for Jt, they will not object io naving tneir views on this matter, which has never been a party one, endorsed by the representatives of the people. The best interest of the Republic urgently require this re form. POSTAL TELEGRAPH TELEPHONES. The Post Office Department should be modernized and furnished with the best appliances known to Bcience in facilitating the intercommunica tion of news &nd thought To this end, the telegraph and telephone should be a part of the postal service as it is in every other civilized coun try. This has no bearing upon the question of government ownership of railroads but is simply applying modern methods instead of antiquat ed ones to the postal service which we already have. If this is paterna lism, then the P. 0. itself is paterna lism. Either give us a modern Post Office with the promptest and-best facilities or else turn the'Post Office over to the "Western Union" to run The number of Pnaf Off? ; " v iU 'Lilt: ":lLK:. - uvi w.njiuuuc jjiaceu in eacn. Every P. M. can use a telephone and there would be only a few points at which the telegraph, requiring addi tional clerks, would be require d. to forward long distance messages.

I The only objection of anv force 1 urged against the Post Uihce adding the telegraph and telephone to im prove its service is the iticiei s.d number of government employees. Aside from the fact that those em ployees can be wielded moro danger -ously iu politics if controlled by a corporation, it must be remembered that ihe postal clerks and other sul ordiuates are now mostly under the civil service law. As to the Pos -Masters, it would be a wise step to decentralize, and at the same time lessen the strain of a President ia election, by electing the Post Masters by the people in each post office dis trict. We shall yet come to this, and the sooner the better. ELECTION LAWS. ihere will be some change of couise in election laws. Public sen titneut has already brought thi about in England, Australia, Canada and in .54 ot the States of this Union Not only should the ballots be fairly east ana counted hut election contri butions should be reduced aud made public as iu New York and elsewhere Otherwise elections will soon be onl a matter of money. The electorate will become debauched and only He- men, who can coatribute largely to the campaign tund will be possibl as candidates. Nominations will be come practically for sale. In addi tion to the remedies so wisely adopt ed and successfully in operation in England, and elsewhere, these two new ones are modestly suggestet (1). The number of voting precincts should he not less than three in eae township, properly distributed over the township. This would bring out the fullest expression of the ponula will by enabling each man to vote by goirg only a short distance. As there are 400,000 voters in Nort Carolina, if each man now should vote and should lose a whole day at the election, as many do who go sev eral miles to vote, the cost would lie $400,000 in the value of lost time In fact it is a very large fraction of it. (2). The increased, number of voting precincts would not only bring out a larger vote and enable voters to save most of the day for their work, but it would render practicable this other reform that the poll should be closed at 2 p. m. The bai lots could then be counted in broac: day-light and the result announced before sunset. There wou'd thus be no chance for fraud. The result in each county would be known at tin county-seat not long after dark nn. the result in the whole State we'd be known by midnight and auuou v i .ii .1 eu iu an me papers .next morning 1 his gi eat reform would also be a great economy bv enabling the la boiing man everywhere to deoosit his ballot without anyone being obliged to lose a day s work. MURPER TRIALS. 1 rials for capital offenses shouM be simplified. Retaining, as sufiieieLt tor au innocent man, that the piis oner must be shown to be euiltv be yond a reasonable doubt and by the unanimous voice of twelve men, there snould be abolished the gross ine qualities to which the State has now put in all such trials which reuder it almost . impossible to convict the guiltiest man if he is able to retain ! SKilful and influential counsel. No tably the inequality of challenges by which the defendant has 23 and the btate only 4 should be abolished and each allowed the same number, sav six each, as is the case in many oth er States now. The State as well as the defendant should have as for merly in this State the right of an peal from errors of law of the trial judge. Eynch law hangs two men in this State for each man hung bv the Courts. Lynch law exists only when society has lost confideneo in the ability of the Courts to protect society, vvnne retaining the sate guards above mentioned as eruaran tees against the conviction of an in nocent man, remove all the disadvan tages imposed on the prosecution which guarantee the acquittal of a guilty man, then lynch law will dis appear, but. not till then. COURT EXPENSES. In every State of the civilized world except in this State and in Iowa the Judge being responsible for the waste of time in his Courts, has a super vising power over the length of speeches by counsel. It is a power that was rarely used, but its existence prevented too mueh waste of the public time. This was formerly the rule in this State, but a few years ago unfortunately a law was passed taking from the judge all control over the length of speeches by coun sel. The Supreme Court was forced to ignore the new rule tn that l? STe tne new rule as l.lnH A . statute was modified o exempt u. Buutis sun info in the buperior Courts. Courts are very expensive and this single ill ad vised statute has added vastly to tbi burdens of the people in the greatly increased length of trials without benefit to clients in the ease on trial and to the great disadvantage of suitors and counsel in all cases' sub sequent thereto. Probably the ma jority of lawyers would not object to 1 a return to the law foi merly in force ' hr aa4 hioli U stiiiia fr tf iCy is j-.i.-v t ycd' ?o of &a Lat!y tker- kkonM He- a Co4e fra Tmton.

WALTER CLARK. Nov. 20th, 1804. Thi" Content In This lixtri-t. (Wilmington Messenger.) Ex-Judge D. L. Russell, of this city has been retained by Mr. C. H. Martin, the Populist candidate who made f he race tor Congress iu this district at the recent election and who will contest the election of the lion. James A. Lockhart, the Demo cratic candidate who was returned asehcted. It will be claimed that instead of Mr. Lockhart's being the Congressman elect, M r. Martin will be elected by about 2,000 majority. Judge Russell states that his grounds for the contest will be that Mr. Martin wa3 defrauded of 1,200 votes in Robeson, GOO in Anson aud ooo in Pender, and that the vote of a town ship in Columbus county was thrown out without proper cause. The only counties which held anything like fair elections in the district, Judge Russell declares were New Hanover, Brunswick and Columbus He says "the returns" are rot in yet from Mecklenburg, Union and Rich mond counties.

Mass.: "Dear Sirs: I believe in Hood's SarsaDarillic I will tell yon why. 1 have suffered from in. herited scrofula from child hood. 'When 37 yean of age, my eyes became strangely affected. I could not read after sunset, and when I would close my eyes, I could not open them; but on whichever side I lay, on that side I could open my eye. This condition continued about two year, and was succeeded hy An Intolerable Itching all orer.my body and limbs. I had to hare m little boys take shoe brushes and scratch me. It was dreadful. It continued a month and followed immediately by a tumor In the rigat side of my neck, as large as a small egg. I at once commenced taking physicians' prescrip tions and continued till I lost hope. In the imoa aie the tumor changed Its place to the imme dlata front of ngr neck, suppurated and was fol lowed by others, till six had formed and broken. "Finally, three years ago, another large tw mor seated itself on the point of my collar bono and in six months another half way back on tbo bone. Both of them un homn in ii..k... and continued to do so till about seven month ago. I tried everything, including prescription, I was often so weak that I Could Scarcely Walk and my mind was so confused that I eocM carcely attend to my business (school teach, lng). I w;as utterly discouraged. And now my story draws to a close. I began the use of Hood's51 Cures Hood's Sarsaparilla a little less than a year ago, and took five bottles. When I began I had no faith in it In less than thre mnnttn twk . ores on my snoulder were healed; I was eured of a troublesome eatarrh; and scrofulous habit has steadily grown less apparent I weUli more loan 1 ever did in my life, and am In the Best of Health. oonsidering my wmsUtuUon.
