THE CAUCASIAN!
EDITOR'S CHAIR.
IN CUR NEW QUARTERS.
Laat week we moved The Cauca
BIAX plant from GolcUboro to Iial
eich. We make our bow this week
I to the public from the State Capitol
i n - . .
; we are located in the elegant new
Pullen building below the State
Capitol and iutst opposite the Yar
a a
borough House. This is the politi
cal center of the State. It is where
The Caucasian should be located
and where it will be published in
the future.
A few year ago when we bough
The Caucasian it was a small pat
ent outside country weekly with only
about 400 circulation, but one But
'scnbers paid in advance. In a few
short years it has spread all over the
State. To-day it circulates largely
in every county, going to nearly ev
erv post office iu the State and has
beyond question a larger paid up
circulat on than any other paper in
the State. Every name on our books
is paid in advance.
We are greatly indebted to our
friends in every neighborhood in
North Carolina who so materially
assisted in widening its circulation
and ii.fl nonces.
To our friends we wish to say that
we trust that the paper will continue
to merit your support to such an ex
tent that thtough your assistance it
nriy reach a circulation of 20,000
during the year 1895.
Full and accurate reports of the
proceedings of the approaching ses
sion of the General Assembly will be
given in addition to the regular fea
turts of the paper.
Let every subscriber try to send in
a club of new subscribers before te
Legislature meets.
The Caucasian Publishing Com
pany has been organized arid will
soon begin the publication of a Daily
in addition to the v eekly.
Lc every n former push tne cir
culation of the paper and make it a
still moie powerful factor for the
cause of reform.
Marion Butler,
Pres. Caucasian Pub. Co,
THE DA1LY CAUCASIAN.
The reform movement greatly
needs a dailv paper at the State
Capitol. The Caucasian Publish
ing Company has been organized to
supply that want. We have a little
over half of the stock necessary sub
scribed. The shares are $10.00 each,
ten per cent, or $1.00 on each share
to be piid down. Under our char
ter which ii published elsewhere in
this paper you will see that no stock
holder is personally liable for the
debts of the Corporation.
Every reformer in the State should
take stock in this enterprise. If
there is a single man in the State,
who is healthy and able to work, who
is not able to take at least one share
of stock, we want to know his name
and where he lives. We are all poor
but we are all able to do something.
If you are working for 50 cents a
day you are able to take a share. It
was put down low so that you could.
We are all poor, and that ia why it
is necessary for every poor man to
help. Those who are poor can never
do anything to liberate and elevate
themselves unless they co-operate.
One rich man can take charge of
such an enterprise and run it him
self. But we hdve no rich men in
our ranks and those who are the
most able are too often the least
willing. But a number of poor men
can co-operate and do more than one
rich man. Let us do it. Let every
man who reads (his paper take at
least one share of 6toek. If you
possibly cau take more. See your
neighbors and get them to join in
with you. We are poor but we can
make The Daily Caucasian as
strong a paper as any of the dailies
backed by the money of monopolies.
Shall we do it? We must do it. Let
every man put his shoulder to the
wheel and it will be done. Address
The Caucasian Pub. Co., Raleigh,
N. C.
WHAT WILL THE LEGISLATURE DO?
Everybody wants to know what
the Legislature will do certainly
you want to know. It will be one
of the most important sessions ever
held in the history of the State. It
is important for what it does to be
honestly and correctly reported. The
Caucasian will do it. Therefore
you want The Caucasian. You
must have it. You should see that
your neighbor gets it He should
know what it does. The next fight
will largely depend upon the work
done in Kaleigh thi3 winter. You
want your neighbor to know the
truth about it. Get him to take The
Caucasian. Send in a club at once.
REV. BAYLUS CADE.
Eev. Baylus Cade, who is well and
favorably known to the people of
North Carolina as a clear and strong
writer, has accepted a position on
The Caucasian as associate editor.
We wish to congratulate onr readers
for he will he'p us to make the pa
per still better.

A REFORMATORY FOR
1SA1.?.
YOTNG CRIM-
Mr. Blair Approves of That l'lank in the
People's Party Platform.
Mr. W. A. Blair, was in Raleigh
last week attending the meeting of
the State Board of Charities. He
is a prominent attorney of Winston,
and ia president of the People's
National Bank.
He wa3 interviewed by the News
Observer. Speaking of the necessity
for a reformatciy for young crimi
nals, he said:
"Tht ra are new in the penitential y
ninety-three child convicts, and
these mingle daily with hardened
criminals and are being initiated in
to the ways of vice. When they
leave the penitentiary they are worse
crimiaals than when they entered the
cheerless walla.
"All through the North and West
State reformatories take charge of
these young criminals and educate
them away from vice, instead of
leading them deeper iuto crime.
Statistics show that ninety per cen.
ot those sent to reformatories are
saved to the State as useful citizens.
"Over twelve hundred children are
convicted of crimes of greater or
less magnitude in North Carolina
every year. The majority of these
become criminals and augment the
class that fills her jails, poor-houses,
and penitentiaries.
"Taking a mere material view of
the matter," said Mr. Blair, "the
State will be exercising economy in
establishing a reformatory. The la
bor of its inmates would almost pay
the expenses of the institutkn, tnd
the State would everv year save to
itself a thousand good citizen?."
The State Platform of tbfe P-jj-ple's
Party codtains a plank favor
ing such an institution and it will
probably be established by the next
General Assembly.

know that If it wan't for you I'd go
away somewhere and be a poet. You
know the school-teacher said he
couldn't learn me any more, and I take
it that when Bill J imison can't learn
anybody anything he's goin to be a
poet. J imison told me that I ought to
go away somewhere taid there never
would be any chance for me here. And
do you reckon I'd plow over yonder in
that blazin' field if it wan't for you?

"Oh, shucks, Sam, why don't you

"Maybe it is because yon never have

in excitement cried: "Look there! the

had not moie than said this when he

"Ah, I have squeezed the truth out

"If you have yon put yourself to un

"Yes, I might, for the poet always
has been despised."
"Oh. has he? But if that's the case
you ought to be loved."
"jell, you'll force me to hate you."
'I will? But why should you want
to make me so happy?" She took un
her sunbonnet, which had fallen to the
ground, and, holding it by the strings,
stood swinging it like a pendulum.
"Do you mean that?" he asked.

and angry-looking, met her near the
door, and pointing to a churn standing
in the shade near the corner of the
house, said:
"Thar's that thing standin' tW all
the mornin' and you a foolin' round
down thar on the branch. You air gest

But you neenter tell mo I know. It
was that good-for-nothin' Sam Foster.
A triflin'er wretch never lived on the
face of the earth."
"He's goin' to be a poet," the girl re
plied, taking an-apron off a lilac bush
and tying the strings about her waist.
"And what's that, for goodness' sake?"
the woman exclaimed. "He'd better
be thinkin' about cuttin' them sprouts
outen that pore old hill-side field that
he's afflicted with. Conscience alive, I
pity the woman he marries."
"I don't reckon he's old enough yet
to think about marryin anybody," the
girl replied. Having tucked up her
skirts she had begun to ply the churn
dasher.
"Not old enough," the woman
snapped. "My sakes alive, I'd, like to
see a fool too young to think about
gittin married these here days. And I
warrant you that thar air gals fool
enough to marry him. Oh you neenter
jerk that dasher around, for you know
it's a fact. I do believe you'd be fool
enough yourself."
The girl was silent. She had ccasei
to ply the churn dasher, she stood mo
tionless, gazing down the slope toward
the pool where she and the young fel
low had watched the bass and the
perch.
"Yes," the woman repeated, "I do
believe that you'd be fool enough to
marry him yourself."
"Well, if I was to, I might not have
to churn all the time," the girl replied.
resuming her work.
"That's a fact," the woman quickly
agreed. "Yes, that's a fact, for you
wouldn't have nothin' to churn."
"Well, I'd rather not have nothin to
churn. I wish there wasn't a cow no
where. I hate 'em. All the time goin
about caasin' folks to churn. If 1 was
to marry a man I'd see that he didn't
have a cow."
"You can safely marry Sam, then.

"Don't yon Bass me, NelL I won't

"I wouldn't Bass you, mammy. You
know I wouldn't; but he would have a
wife if he married, wouldn't he? If he
didn't there wouldn't be any use in
marryin', would there?"
"Hush sich foolishness. It would de
pend altogether on the woman he got."
"Suppose he got me?"
"Look here, Nell. You ain't thinkin
about marryin him, air you?"
" 'Lowed I might, as he ain't got a
cow, and that's about all I'd ask of
him. But, mammy, suppose I was to
tell you that I love him?"
"I would think you bad lost your

"Well, then, I reckon I have, for I
do love him. Yes, I love him so much
that I despise him and I could knock

"Gracious alive!" the woman cried.
"You've upset the churn and all the
milk's gone. Come back here to me.
You'll break your neck a rnnnin off

In the House hut Saturday Con

dhd the Carlile Bill and th bond
ieue for two hours. The following
ti a condensed statement of a part of
hi I'ptH'ch:
Kcvirwipp the rirrumtanr at.
tendant upon the inception and Iu
traduction of the hill, Mr- Urjan
paid it was an untn-cuVnttd r no.
diation of the nrincinh ot the
IVmocratic government. Ka dec

in charge of this Coiign-sa prv)oed
to surrender, in the last hour of
their jHttseesion of ow'er the control
of our banking and currency svsU-m
to the banls. bv a measure that in-
eludes the prohibition of greenbacka.
i ncre was aosoiutely no excuse for
the bill, said Mr. ltrvan. Its intro
duction at thi time could not l
defended unless it would afford a
remedy for the evil complained of.
The reason given, bj iU fricudi and
promoters for bringing it into the
Houee was that the exigencies of the
Treasury demand it: that the Treaa-
ury is being drained of gold by the
exchange of greenbacks tbcn-frutn
lUit the bill did not provide even a
primary remedy. The only remedy
as far an it related to the green
backs, was to fund them in bond.
When that was done, if it was ever .
done, the trouble would still exiit,
for Ihe silver certificate would still
remain and they must be redeemed
in gold on demand. The gentleman
from Connecticut (Mr. Hjerry) ad
mitted at the close of hia fpevch the
other day that the situation de
manded the funding not only of the
greenbacks, but also a portion of the
silver certiticatea. Mr. Brvcn de
nouncnl the bond issue as a con
spiracy againet the government,
quoting the movement of gold from
the Treusury between the dates ot
advertising for bids of the at i
of bonds and of the delivery of the
asi ioi oi oonus as proof of his as
sertion. "If we bad brave Andrew
Jackson in the White House now.
he would rise in bis might and gay:
'By the Eternal! the rights of the
people are dearer than those of Wall
Street. But what answer does the
present Chief Executive mak?
"Whatsoever they ask of me, even to
the half of my kingdom, it shall be
given to them."
Proceeding to the provisions of
the bill. Mr. Brvan einrestted hi
opposition to them in detail. The
tirst ground of opposition was that,
giving to uannera tne privilege of
issuing paper money while depriv
ing other classes of the same privi
lege was government favoritism of
the worst kind. It waa this sort of
favoritism that bred more discon
tent among the people than anv
other thing. Mr. Bryan expressed
the opinion that the active dissemi
nation of small pox among the peo
ple of the nation would be produc
tive of k'B8 barm than the irrantin'cr
of this privilege to the banks. The
second ground of opposition was
that the granting of such a priiiWa
makes the lecipient of it an enemy
to any law that proposes to abridge
or revoke it. Jefferson warned the
people against the establishment of
paper monev banks. Stat or nation.
al, Cleveland believed that the ideal
form of government included th
entire divorcing of the government
irom me issue or. paper money. "Jt
ia hardly necessary for me to stab?."
said Mr. Bryan, "that I stand with
Jenerson in favor of taking banka
out of government rather than
Cleveland, in favor of taking gov
ernment out cf the issue of money."
He said that Jefferson bad ex
pressed the opinion that the exist
ence of private banka of issue would
a ...
oe more aangeroua to the govern
ment than standing armies, in which
opinion he fully concurred. "For
scanning armies," be said, "cannot
bring ucb power to bear upon lecia-
lation as can these banks."
The third ground of Mr. Brvan
opposition waa that the government
cannot safely give to private corpor
at;ona the power to control the vol
ume oi paper money.
in conclusion. Mr. Brvan r.allftd
the attention of silver men to what
he believed to be the purpose of the
oiii. jc waa simply one step to
ward the universal adoption af rnld
mono-metallism.
Yoa can be deceived if von like "
he said, "but if you are, you simply
deceive yourselves."
