And when ttie people's rep i.iiit:itives met in their legislative hall they were not slow in forming a lourt to try Mr. lintlor for this second offence. And blame me, if it ili.lu't turn out just like I said in the hist campaign, lie was found guilty nii.l sentenced to leave the tta.e and to the Dis'rict of Columbia, there to et ve a term of six years in the t inted States Senate, at haul labor, for the American people. Now Mr. liulter is a small man, hut 1:1 good pluck, and would get along and serve out this penalty very well if it were uwt for the company tlnit lie will have to keep. Why, sir, they tell mo that there is a man in Washington City with a head so large tnat his brain and body is big ger than his whole party (and blame me, if 1 don't believe this is the truth now); and they tell me that this great In;; man has not only run (Jen. Kau sk.tu out of the United .States to M xico.but he uroes into the lloue of Kepresentatives and" Senate and .slashes around among ttie boy just hkw they were hit slaves, and not Hi-cunt of the people. Well, I know that these charges and penalties imposed upou Mr. Uut lr by these old party wreckers are very great, but I truly hope that the Lord will be with him while in Wash ington, and spare him from being crushed by the j.ws of this great man. a He spared Daniel while in the lion's dell. I want to say to Capt. Kitchin, Major (Juthrie, Sibley, Stewart and Tom. Watson that they had better be mii their guard, for fear of falling victims to similar charges and pen alties imposed upon Butler. I will say to them to take courage from the fact that Jefferson, Jackson and Zeb. Vance Democracy, which gives to the whole people their rights, liber ties, prosperity and happiness is im mortal; but the Democratic party of today, without these principles, is of the past, and will be known no mere as oue of the great American politi cal parties. Why do I make this declaration, and what is myjudg ment based upon! It h based on the honor, integrity, patriotism and knowledge of the American people as to how treacher ous and traitorous the present day Deiuwcratie party has been to the JeftVrnon. Jackson and Zeb. Vance bemocratic principles. i It has beeu asserted that Senator Vaucv said that the Democratic party was immortal. If such be true it was the biggest mistake of his life. He should have said jrinripLt instead of '?(, because the party without thexo principles as regards the salva tion of the rights and liberties of the people, which means prosperity and happiness for this life, is ho more than a church is to the salvation of ths sonls of the people without a K"ptl preacher and the spirit of Hod. Kw let us draw aline of compari son between th present day Democ racy and that of Jefferson, and then we can see where the old party to day, in principle, is at. We might also consider at the same time the difference between the present day Hepublican party's principles and Lincoln's in-incinles: and after apply iup our best thought and judgment, unbiased by prejudice, we will be able to see the great cause and pur pose of a new and third party in rder to restore this government as one of "by and for tlie people." First we know it is not true Jeffer son Democracy or true Lincoln Ke puUicauism to pass laws that robs "tie part of the American people for 'he K0j cf aaother part, or ia other words, makes millionaires of the elassKs and slaves and paupers of the masses; and we know it is undemo cratic, or nnrepublican in principle to demonetize silver and thus create a money famine like that which pre vails in this country today; and we know it is undemocratic to advocate and favor national banks and a new issn of void bearing bonds on an already tax-ridden people in an hur f peace, only to gratify Grover Wall Street and tke Rothschilds, of London. I will sav to Grover. John Sher roan and to all who feel concerned ia the welfare and salvation of their old parties, to turn their minds mors to the living principles of salvation "i prosperity and hapDinessof tnts ln ftod less to the party of destruction net condemnation of these princi plea, W-caie it's tK other undent statettbrary rUW1 can lawa on aiaxute WjIom of thin nation today (and not the Alliance), which have proven treacheous and trailoroas to the Jfferon and Lin coin principle, that re the very cause of thin great up-rUing and re bellion of the people against the two old parties. The people not only know that these law are a criminal assault on the very name of Jeffer son and Lincoln th founders of true Democracy and Hue liepnbli anim bat they kn- they are the "reason why" there ar sixty millions of American people today fast be coming pauperized and slaves to nix millions of people who are grow ing richer, by being able, through and by these discriminating laws, to rob them of the honest fruits of their labor.

For tin Caucasian.) Concorp, N. C, June 4. A grander piece of political meanness never was attempted than was car ried out here yesterday by the Demo cratic justices of the peace of Ca barrus ceunty. These ring hirelings were sum moned hare presumably to levy taxes, but tlmr real object was to try to throw me out of office by abolishing; the office of county treas urer, for no other reason in the world than that I was a Populist and would not bow the knee to a few devils. Snispecting nothing many of the Populist justices of peace wore at home. They then abolished the office, or they thought they did. How is this! Elected by the people, in ducted into office for two years t-y Democratic officers, giving an ex tremely heavy bond, and now a few Democratic justices of the peace come along and say: The voice of the people is a farce; all laws are in vain, and you must walk out because we say so. They gave no reason, only that I must not serve as treas urer. What do honest men .think of such high handed assumption I begged the legislature to wipe jut the last vestige of Democratic frauds, but they did not. I told them they would tteat us worse than dogs, and so they have. But we shall see if the laws of North Carolina will allow such an outrage. There's no use to have an election it this i3 law, G. Ed.

I have watched with much interest the action of some of the newspapers in this State with reference to the silver question. Many of them have been painfully silent n this great question Vwry reaantly theylhave raised quite a farara over the free coinage of salver. The aational platform of the Peo ple's Party, adopted on the 4th July, 1S'J2, points out the evils in a lucid manner, and properly prescribes the remedy by whieh ;tms country is to obtain relief. It is singular that, of the twelve million voters in this country in 'D'i only one million of that number knew what they were voting for. Thw tw old parties said that the alittstmant of the tariff question would bring relief to the masses. The Democrats en the issue or a tariff for revenue only won the campaign ef 18D2. The Populist orators and papers tontly and ably maintained that the . . I f A 1 . 1 tann waa not me cause 01 me geneim depression and stagnation of busi nessthat a lack of an adequate volume of currency was the cause. Tka vardict of the people, at the palls, wm recorded against that view. Bat haw wonderfully h,as been the changa irn sentiment since '92! What the Populist orators and papers said has, by time, been demonstrated fo be true. On every side the finance question is recognized now as the overshadow ing issue. The Democratic papers in this State, and many other States, are now endorsing and advocating the views mainiaineu uy me x opunais m V2. If the Populists are right on this question, then the members or otner parties who now hold similar views, should jain the Popuiist ranks, and aid in securing a true American sys tem of finance and government, and not allow tkis country to be any longer governed in the interest of the English gold trust. 1 read recently the resolutions V" . . . . . adopted by the Democratic btate fixpcutive committee in favor or the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1. Is it possible that this delanctj party is now enaeavoriug to gei a little me in 10 m Has not tha Democratic party had a glorious opportunity on more than one occasion to restore saver 10 iree coinage at the mintst With 148 majority in the House in 1892, did they not refuse to pass a frae silver bill, after the same had al ready passed the Senate? Did they not in 3 and '94 still have a "chance" to pass a free silver billf Did they pass one! No! Then, can snek a party, after having proven false to its pledges, expect the masses to have further confidence it it! 1 Continued on 4th p&gc. FOR A POSTAL TELEGRAPH. Strong Expressions From Ex United .States Senators Ed munds and Flatt THEY OPENLY DECLARE lu favor of tn (iotcrniu.ul't OwdIuk and Operatius Its Own 1 ilf!rml-i.t Telegraph a a I'art of the Vnitetl Mates Fotttal .')Iiii. The Voice of New York gives th? following interview: ''I have for many years been a hot-foot supporter of a Government postal-telegraph systeifi," said ex Senator Edmunds, of Vermont to a Voice correspondent the other day. "I believe intelligence should be communicated, the &anie as our mails, through the post offices of the coun try. Some twelve years ago I intro duced several carefully prepared postal-telegraph bills." In answer to the question' "Hive your views changed any since then?" the ex Senator replied very emphatically, -No"; and to the question, "Have your opinions grown more strongly in favor of the proposition," he an swered, "They ctmldn't be any .stronger." THE GENERAL DFJIA.JTD F.Mt A GOV ERNMENT POSTAL TELEGRAPH. The records of Congress show that the proposition tor a Government postal telegraph has been repeatedly before both houses of that body since the time spoken of by Mr. Edmunds, only to be downed in the interest of the Western Union Tele graph monopoly. The Voice of Dec. 21, 1893, gave the utterances of many postmasters-general in fa vor of a Government telegraph, from the very introduction of the .inven tion down to the last administration. S-nator Edmunds spoke strongly in favor of a postal telegraph system iu the Senate on Jau. 20, 188o. The post-office appropriation bill, which proposed a reduction of postage from to 2 cents, was under discussion. Senator Edmunds said: EDMUNDS FAVORS THE GOVERNMENT JSL1LDINU ITS OWN TELEGRAPH LINES. "What the United States, in re gard to its postal affairs and the welfare of its people, needs more than anything else is the construc tion of a postal telegraph, beginning moderately between great points in the country and all intermediate points, and then extending it, just as we have the mail system, as the needs of the community and fair economy would require, until every post-office should have or be within the reach of a postal telegraph. 1 hat is what ought to be done, and what will be done within a few years be yond all question. "But I beg the stock operators in New York not to suppose that. 1 for one am in favor of the United States buying out any telegraph company anywhere. 1 am in favor of the United State buddiny it oaui postal ieh trajih and wanaijiity it in its own way, and leavimj the yentlenten who are enywjed in private pursuits to pursue their operations in their own wai as private pursuits. "We introdi, ed into the postal system not long ago a provision for carrying merchandise, but we did not think it neceesary to buy out the operations of the Adams Express Company, or the Southern Express Company, or the Union Express Company, and the United States Express Company, and so "on, al though what we did very seriously diminish their profits and impair ed their business. Everything that the United States does operates in that way upon the interests of its private citizens everything except the appropriation of money directly, LET THE GOVERNMENT SET UP ITS OWN POLES AND WIRES. . "I propose the initiation of a pos tal telegraph for the united btates, that involves the simple proposition of authorizing the postmaster-gener al to buy the poles and the wires and the machines and set up its lines, first, along the great post-routes of the country, North and South, and East and West, and then, as lime goes on and economy will warrant it, the extension of them to every ham let in the country. "Electricity is just as much a part of the forces of nature and of this world for the transmission of intel ligence as a locomotive is, or as the old post-horse was; and it is too late at this day to say that because the world has advanced in the means of disseminating intelligence the tele graph, undr the constitution of the United States, is not an appropriate means of the postal system just as much as it is to transmit letters. SENATOR PLATT THINKS THE TJNITKD STATES TOO SLOW IN SOME THINGS. Hon. Orville H. Piatt, United States Senator from Connecticut, in the same debate, Jan. 19, said: "I cannot understand how it is that a Government like ours, that professes to be in advance of the world, that boasts of its progressive spirit and tendencies, that boasts of its invent ions, that boasts of the utilization oi the arts and sciences within its bor? ders, should fall back on the slow rail road and steamboat for the transmis sion of its messages, and allow quick transmission to be in the hands of a single corporation, substantially in this country, MI said the telegraph to-day was the rich man's maiL The transmufxioti of letter and meages t a (wovernnitnt function; it pertains to tlie Governinenl,and it pwjht never to hare been suffered to go out of the hand of the Government. We ought just a much to utilize the telegraph as to utilize the tending of leltertt by tlte railway. .... uIf the Government, as it ought to RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY, JUNE i:5, have done under the statute of,!.;; authorizing- it to do m, bad taken etm trol of the telegraph system of -this country. t would have wived Ia year 7,ki0.0uiI to the people of this coun try." PENATOR EDMCNDS' PROI'OSITION- IS DETAIL. Senator Edmunds introduced hip bill for a postal telegraph Dec 4, !88-'5 Oxber bills looking to a simi lar purtHwe were introduced during the same session by Senator Hill, of Colorado, and Senator I awes. They were all referred to the Senate com" mittee on post-tflices and pjst-roads. That committee was also authorized by the Senate to investigate the af fairs of the Wes:ern Union Tele graph Company, and hearings were held at which the company wa. represenud by its president, Norvin Green, Counsel William M. Evarb?, and others. Senator Edmunds bill propped to have a board comjosed of thre heads of departments to establish four leading trunk lines North, East, South, and West the actua? building to.be carried on by the corps of engineers of the War De partment, branches being established from the main line from tune to time as money should be appropri ated and as there , should be use. Compensation for right of way and for the purchase of materials should be fixed by the secretary of war, sub ject to the approval of the president; the right of eminent domain could be exercised where post-roads were not used; all claims thereafter for land damages, telegraphic instru ments, patent rights, etc., should go to the Court of Claims at Washing ton. In support of his propositions, Senator Edmunds said to the com mittee, Jan. 14, 1894: THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OK A POSTAL TELEGKAI'll. "I am perfectly satisfied that Con gress has the constitutional power to lo what is proposed, and in any one of the forms that arc proposed under sev- ral constitutional heads commerce. war, post-olHee,and L might add finance on the same principle that the Supreme Court held that the old national-bank law was constitutional, although all that the constitution said was that Congress might borrow money, might have a treasury depart ment, and might levy taxes, and there fore presumably Congress must have the power to provide the means to car ry on the fiscal operations of the Gov ernment. If a bank was thought to be wise for that purpose, it was constitu tional. So that 1 think the constitu tional question is beyond the range of lair dispute. " 1 he next question is one of public policy : Is it expedient for the inter ests of the people? On that point 1 have only to say that this Govern ment national and State combined was, as the constitution says, institu- ted to promote the general welfare and the specific objects that are named in the constitution, and the parlwular one of promoting its general -velfare, point out clearlv that Congress, within the scope of the powers that are given to it, may do whatever appears to be for the general welfare. Among that class of objects is the dissemination of intelligence, the Ireest and most con venient means of intercommunication between citizens of the Republic and every part of it. It was on that prin ciple that the Post-Office Department was provided to be established. It was on that principle that Congress was given power, rather than the several states, to regulate commerce amonr tni several Mates, it .was on tnat prin- ciple tnat congress was given power to coin money and regulate the value thereof. 1 need not go on enumerat ing things we all understand so well. THE QUESTION OF COMPETITION' WITH PRIVATE INTERESTS. "l lie people wuo are engaged in telegraphic operations, just as the peo ple who have been en gaged in express and transportation operations, feel a natural solicitude, of course, that their business should not be competed with by the exertion of any function on the part of the United States. They argue to me that it is unjust to them that Congress should enter the field of what they call competition with private business, lint if 1 am right in what I have said respecting the inherent con stitutional power of Congress and the inherent public policy of doing this thing for the reasons 1 have seated then the argument of these gentle men engaged in that sort of business falls to the ground, because they have known the constitution of the Govern ment and the public objects that it was bound to promote all the tune: and that whenever Congress saw fit to en large the postal establishment in order to facilitate its war and commercial anu financial operations, to exert the powers that belong to it by the consti tution,it must necessarily do so with out regard to the extent to which it would affect private interests in doing the same things that Congress finally thinks it best to do itself, and for the advantage of its own people.

Ihe anostle a of tr Mlver from the West arrived in the, -.ij mis ujoruiug, ana were ueariiiy greeted Ly the committee of the Bi metallic League, which subsequently conferred with him concerning the free silver na'ional convention to be ueld in this city next month. Con gressman John M. Allen, or Missis iippi, also arrived later iu the day, .nd spoke after Mr. Bryan at the oiss-iiieeting. In the course of his speech the Ouial-?. editor said: "In 1878 Mr. Carlisle was hurlinir the pehble of truth at the giant of he rnilistines, John Suer- man; to-day as a Gohath mut ,w full of significance.

It is true that in 1878 Mr. Carlisle did say that he was opposed to the lree coinage of silver, but he oui;ht in all fairness to have stated that he was at the time opposed to he alertness and activity of free free coinage of gold also. He said silver advocates in. the two old par in his speech of 1878: 'I am opposed tist which promise to result in a to the free coinage of either gold or presidential ticket and a fourth silver, but in favor of the unlimited coinage of both metals upon terms of exact equality.' Not only in his present language contradicted by his I t'oimer speech, but a letter wtitteu I in ib'JO by him says he was at that tune infavor of free and unlimited coinage of silver. "On the lioth of July, lS'.tO, the Gibraltar Democrat, of Maylield Ky., publisned a letter written by Mr. Carlisle for publication, in which he defends h iuisfclf against a criticism made by the Farmers' Alliauce" and says of the Sherman act of lh'JO: 'When the original House bill was under discussion in the Senate I voted to amend it so as to provide for the free and unlimited coinage of the silver dollar, and that amend ment was adopted. The House, how ever, refused to agree to this amend ment, and then a conference com mittee was appointed, which struck out free coinage entirely, and this was the bill I voted against.
