M.HinjfUrly, who was the Democratic candidate for overnor of Pennsyl vania at the last election. The edi torial is as follows: Mr. Jeph C. Sib'ity. of i'erirylvan;a, hot that he thoro'ir.My iiri'teftari-li the l-ol.tifl utiiittion f j far a the currency i.1 .otirnel.

Uead the last two sentences of the above clipping1 again. You will see that it confesses that both parties are for the trolJ standard and that a gold buff President i3 the chief object of both. On last .Sunday an interview ap peared in the News and Observer with Mr. Dingley, a Republican Con- gresaman .from Maine. When a re porter asked him what position he thought his party would take on the financial question, he said that was a scientific o,uestin and should not enter into political campaign. We nuppose Mr. Dingley wishes the cam paign issues to be Hawaii and "ueen Lil." and other such highly important questions. If the people cannot de termine what kind of a financial sys tem we should have by their votes, then what is the use of voting. The financial question concerns the peo ple today more than anythincelse, and therefore should and mast be the leading campaign issue. But the Democratic and Republican leaders don't want it as an issue. They want it settled as a scientific question, by a commission, or a committee of ex pert gold bugs. And here the lion showa his claws the lion is the gold trust. He is growing bold; he shows hi clnws through both old parties. The lion will devour the prosperity of the country unless both of these old parties are destroyed. " When the next national conven tions are held and the Republican party nominates a gold bug and the Democratic party nominates a gold bag, then the News and Observer, the Wilmington Messenger, the Charlotte Observer and all the little cuckoo organs will begin to appeal to the voters to stand by their party. They will swear that their candidate is not a gold bug, and Mr. Glenn will get another letter and will swear that he haa it straight from hia candidate that he is not a gold bug. These papers have no political principles; they always bow at the crack of the party whip from the gold bugs. But in this connection we might say that we have some hope of one Southern paper standing by the people against the gold bugs. We clip the follow ing from an editorial in the Atlanta Constitution, under date of March ISth: "With the Utmost candor the Constitution mast say, that this section of the country will not (rive its electoral votea In 13 to a gold standard candidate for President, no matter whence he comes or wua pwnj name ne Dean. That has the true ring and we trust that the Constitution will have the courage (when the pinch comes) to practice what it preaches and put patriotism above party. The great battle between the people and the gold bugs is coming. Let the people prepare for the struggle. TH TEHTH GEORGIA DISTRICT CON TEST. The State of Georgia has grown famous from other causes than curi ous and weird names. A most extra ordinary circumstance .is a result of the election in the tenth congressional district in 1894. The candidates were Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Populist, and Hon. J. C. C. Black, Democrat. There are eleven counties in this dis trict. Watson carried nine of them. Black carried Uo. In the nine coun ties carried bj Watson, the popula- I lAv s-' tion a over 100,000. The vote retorted) was 15.000. In the coantiei carried by Black the population is G2,WJ.

Mi. liiak rrfiirned a M-onjrreman on the 4th of March. Mr- Watou La already been re nominated by the I'opulitg. He ha written Mr. li'.ai k to uni'e with h;m in asking the lioxernor to -ai an early election. Mr. black does r ot appear to want it t , early. He ha not jet eoui plied i?h Mr. Wat-ou's reiuet; though a taiit understand ing at that the p-cia! election nhoald be called ithin thirty dty after March 4th. THk MtV HHK1T. It b; IDS to l 00 K as though no combination of lanuatr can be found to express the elfir-h degra dation to which the lat Corsreis descended. And it was a Demo cratic Congress. Its member, or some of them at least, grabbed and snatched every thing in ight. To begin with, the Democratic House boldly and s:lfihly violated and ignored Section 4), of the Revised Statutes of the L'nited States. That section id a plain, positive law to the effect that a member of Cong ress .shall not be paid for days he loses unles they are lost because of sickness. Did this glorious! re spectable! (urnph!) Democratic Cong ress regard that law! Not much. The question of withholding pay for lost days' came up; and what did this glorious! respectable! honest! Democratic Congress dot The Seargent-at-arms, according to law, had made up statements of amounts due members, deducting the days on which they had been absent. But the "law"' didn't suit the Democratic House of Representatives. They wanted all everything. That they might get it, Mr. Wise introduced a reso lution to the effect that fall pay be given the members regardless of the number of days they were absent. And in defiance of "law," in brutal and selfish opposition to honesty, the resolution was aJyf.-I. The vote on this resolution may be seen on page 3425, of the Congressional Record. Every Populist voted n-jainst it. Is that all! N-o-oo! The Gov ernment gives members seeds of va rious kinds to be distributed to th farmers in their districts. Secre tary of Agriculture Morton, is re sponsible for the statement tha some members actually $U thtt eJt This was downright stealing. Th seeds did not belong to Congress men. They were simply pat in th hands to be distubuted. And Cong ressmen ld them. That's about as low down as a man can get: and i it is the bottom of disgrace, let it be remembered that members of thi last Lem-fcratte Congress touched the bottom. Oh! its just too disgust ing and mean to be dwelt on with patience. A IOIOH FACT. It may be said, without any w?de deviation from fact, that the last Congress levied on the average man of average family, in the United States, a tax of $73.P5 more than the whole Congress was worth ac cording to popular opinion. This sounds like a pretty strone statement. But let's have a littl analysis of this proposition. From a tabled published elsewhere it wi be seen that the total appropriations made by this Congress amounted in round numbers to one billion and nfteen million dollars. ($1,015,000,- 000 ) The census of 1S90 credits the United States with a population o sixty two million (,02,000,000.) Let's call it G.",000,000. Now divide th amount of appropriations bv tlip number of the population, and it will - - j - be seen that, on an average, every man, woman and child, white, black and all other colors, was taxed $13.01. The average number of people to the family is five. Now multiply tae amount of tax on each person by hve, and it will be seen that the average tax for each family is f 78.03 Had you thought about that ! Do you know where the money the Dem ocratic Congress spent came from! Do you know who paid it into th treasury! Do you know how it is paid! Do you know that appropri ations must be made to pay the in terest on all bonds issued! Do you know that one hundred and sixty- two millions of bonds have been issued within the last twelve months? Do you know the interest on these bonds amounts to nearly three mil lion dollars a year and that you have got to pay part of it! Do you know howT Say, had'nt you better wake up and think about these things! Why do you talk about and palaver over pettifogging little men and matters when you are being robbed without knowing it. You'd better wake no. There'll be another issue of bonds before you know it. This is Dem ocracy. Kepubhcanism has been very little better. Wake up! Study! Think! The schemers are stealing from you. Had you not better scheme a little to try to stop them. THEi Aiicomso Aot5P. derdaL.

KI.I.N ? The Charlotte Observer feays: "We printed yesterday the charge of the Raleigh News and Observer that the new assignment law was bought through the legislature, and now we see the statement that 'free passes and a few hundred dollars (not ex ceeding ti-rtr) would have killed or passed any measure that might have been propoed."' Long ears agone the name of the crookedest street in Damascus was Straight street. When St. Paul de sired to refer to it he said "the street that ia cnlltd Straight. ' He was careful not to compromise him self. The Observer appears to be somewhat emulative. It desires to say something crooked and prints what the Newa and Observer says It is a little chary about compro mising itself. That's right. There' nothing too mean to be credited or "insinuated" to the News and Ob server; but listen: "Bad as he is the devil rnav be abused Be falselv charged and causlesalv accused When men unwilling to be biamed alon shift off on him those sins which are their own If the Wilmington Star would act like it talks (sometimes), and could make other Democratic newspapers do so, there would soon be a clearing up of matters. There would be no strife among friends and fellow-citi zens. .There would be no contemptible efforts to arouse hatred and prejudice There would be no elevation of party- above principle. There would be practically, but one party in North Carolina. Then there would be ; Jignified discussion of question a:Tecting the interests of the people There would be fraternal efforts to adopt the best methods for the bes ends. There would be a united, manly determination to remove causes o strife and oppression, and condition adverse to the people would soon vanish. If, if; oh IF ! THE J5 PREMICM. Our readers will remember Caat last summer the Caucasian offered a premium to the person who could give us the best suggestion to help to prevent fraud in the late election A large number of plans were sent in. We read them all closely. We are indebted to our friends who sent in these suggestions for many valu able ideas. We felt that almost ev ery one deserved a premium. But we were able to pay it to one only Everything considered, the premium has been awarded him and his plan is now for the first time published. See it in another column. The late unlamented Congress (for any good it did) appropriated $20,000 for the purpose of surveying the route of the proposed Nicaragua canal. A committee of "promoters" have called on the President and com plained that the appropriation is two small. It would only pay salaries ! l : . . . . c !.- jug irausponauon, txc, un provided for. This canal project is a gpod one. It ought to be aecom plished. ' But the plan by which it is proposed to accomplish it is barely second to the great Pacific railroad lunuiuuiauon ana sieai. xne gov ernment is asked to stand for one hundred million dollars to carry out the plan. If this is done the country may be benefited; but goodness! what stealing and scandal there will be in the handling of this money. If Governor O'Fertall bad been a member of the Virginia legislature and had voted for a resolution ex tending the freedom of the State to the visiting committee of the Massa chusetts legislature, including the negro, then his crime would have been terrible. His conduct in that case would have been a disgiace to the State and would have been a proof positive that he favored negTO social equality. But since he is simply Governor of Virginia, and did nothing more than invite the ne gro to his mansion and then enter tain him at his table, in charity we will look over the whole matter and say nothing about it. The amplitudinous inclination 01 specific components of a putrescent oreranism yclept the Democratic press, to disentangle their identity from a non-remote combination of asservations of leucoethiopic char acteristics, adumbrates a latent dis approbation of pre-existing famili arity with such boomennging bal- jism a: rap! tex'ile fa y remove the dilapidated 1 fabrie from the diminutive 1 ihrabbe-ry.

You promised to "redeem" us! Woap sir! The Michigan Supreme Court has decided that a candidate cannot run on two tickets in that State. That is equal to saying that fusion is "unconstitootional." Next case! These Democrats think now that it is "unconstitootional" for an honest man to run on any ticket. Better watch them. When a D mo crat gets after you with his "consti tootional"' accoutrements, you want the stick of common sene in your hand and you want to use it, too. The last issue of the Reidsviile Keview makes a s'tatemeut to the ee.t that many of the Populists of Rockingham eoumy who formerly belonged to the Democratic party are very much disgusted with the performances of the late Douglass legisla ture, and wiii come back to the Democratic party. Wilmington star. oh now, don't talk like that. Name your men. They may not stick to the Populists, but to go back to the Democrats oh, well, name your men. Another Democratic State scan dal has been exposed in Tennessee. Mr. W. H. Mitchell, secretary of the Safe Deposit and Trust company, of Nashville, has testified that he was paid $2,000 for perfecting the sale of land or. which the penitentiary is to be built, and that he gave 500 of this money to Adjutant-General Fife and .foOO to C. C. Estelle, president of the board of railroad tax-assessors. A correspondent in a State paper safely says: "The passage of such laws without due consideration rais es the question whether Xcrth Caro lina ougnt not to protect her people against tne legisuture by sinner ner 'governor a veto power. Wtll, it might be trusted with a Populist gjvemor, but Democrats themselves were never big enough fools to give it to a Democratic gov em or. tleven prominent police officers have been indicted on charges of corruption, bribery, etc., in the city of New York by an extraordinary grand jury which made investiga tions. The indictments are a great triumph for Dr. Parkhurst and the reform movement he has led. Hon est police administration in the me tropolis is now a certainty. Never again can it be what it was. The Democracy of the Lone Star State, Texas the banner Demccrat ic State of thia glorious Union for got "white supremacy" when its rep- resentativea in the legislature pas sed a resolution tendering the Hall of Representatives to the negroes to hold memorial services in honor of a dead negro who never eaw the State and a miscegenationist also. Boom de ay! It does not seem to be difficult for Northern politicians to extort what they want from Southerners. The Massachusetts committee extorted official social recognition for ne groes from a Virginia Governor, Northern politicians have extorted acquiescense from Southern Demo crats in any and everything for years past. They will do it again in The Charlotte Observer is oueru lous over the fact that the legisla ture did not provide a monument or statute for Vance; and that paper nas made considerable comment on the appropriations as they stand too. By the way, there is a Vance Memorial Association in Kalei-h. What is the amount of the Observ er's contribution! The State Democratic Executive Committee of Alabama thought so much of "Mr. Kose, of New York' (a negro) who co-labored with them to defeat Mr. Kolb for Governor, that they loaded him with creden tials when Mr. Steve Clay requested his services for the grand old De mocracy of Georgia.
