The CaitahUN believes the cry of " hard times" is well founded. In numerable letters from all over the Btate declare that the people wish to receive and read tbia paper, bat money is too scarce to permit them te subscribe for it. This is doubtless true. But in the meantime the most persuasive, yet vicious, goldbug literature is being thickly strewn all over the country met of charge. It breathing is poisonous and if not opposed it is dangerous. It must not be despised as a weak agency. It is subtle and its fangs can strike deep into the unsuspect ing. We cannot strew free literature over the State, but we will try to do our part toward partly nullifying the " hard times." We WILL SEM rive cones ok The Caucasian THREE MONTHS FOR $1.00.

Speaking of the position which the People's Party State committee has taken against co-operating with goldbug, Mr. Holton, chairman of the Republican State committee ayst "I think it is a movement of some of the Populist leaders to force onr people into their own terms. I think now it is a struggle between the loaders of the Republican and Pop nlist parties for the supremacy in the State. If Senator Butler and his friends let go of their silver is sue, the only principle left in their party, they see they are a failure." Of courje Mr. Holton's private, of ficial opinion about what principles the People's Party stands for, or onot-rnin? these principles, does not disturb us in the least. It bears a label which no independent, self respecting man considers, or that no intelligent man can mistake, and we can therefore afford not to no tice bis persistent misrepresenta tions, ill-bred flings and reckless public observations about the Peo ple's Tarty. The People's Party, through its 8tate committee, subject to conven tion approval, has offered to co-op erate with the Republicans against goldbuirs or with the adherents of all parties in the State in a non partisan movement to elect a Presi dent who cannot be influenced by the money power to betray and sac rifice the people. The money ques tion will be the great, leading na tional issue in the next campaign. ri a novice in politics of Mr. Holton's perception muEt realize that. The dangerous influence of the money power cannot be successfully met without aggressive organization and a complete unification of al! who oppose the Sherman-Cleveland gold policy. Certainly, the Republican State chairman, who sneers at the silver movement, fully appreciates that fact. It is a simple sum in ad dition, and we do Mr. Holton's intel ligence the credit to believe that he is competent to master it. Appre ciating the critical situation, which grows more alarming daily, the Peo ple's Party has taken the initiative in this movement and has urged the people to nee above party, in a pa triotic effort to avert the irreparable calamity that must follow the elec tion of a President committed to the gold-standard policy that controls the Cleveland administration, and that has controlled every Republican administration since the demonetiza tion of silver. It has had the courage to do it because it is independent of the disreputable "machine" influ ence that controls the two old party organizations in the State. It was done without considering Mr. Holton's opinion, and the move ment which is yielding such splendid results will be continued without re gard to that opinion. Not even Mr Holton's over-powering disdain will change the policy of the People's Party in this vital matter. Let there be no mistake. The money question is the peoples' issue, not Senator But ler's. If Mr. Holton will hold his ear to the ground ho will hear the echo of this sentiment. It might save him a thankless and profitless campaign. We entertain a profound conviction that the'people will assert their independence of party domina tion and win a great victory at the next election. A MOTH fcIC QVKSTION AND ANSWER. The Caucasian has received sev eral letters containing questions on the same line. The following ia one of them: Question: The Republican com mittee of this county has been urg ing us to hold onr meeting and agree at once on terms of countv fusion with them. Do you think it wise for us to take such action before our State convention meets! Answer: In our opinion it is not wise. There is certainly no necessi ty for such haste. It is more than four months before it will be neces sary to hold county conventions We certainly can acj more intelli a1 a . . geniiy next Angnst man wo can now. We should certainly not take action on county matters until after the State convention meets, when we will have an opportunity for f ul consultation. By that time the two old party national conventions wil have been held, and we will have the full political situation before us and the State convention will in its wisdom lay down the line of battle that should be made. The Cauca oiAJN wouiq aavise our inenas in every county to take no action at present with reference to the details of the county ticket. Nothing can be gained by acting hastily. It best not to act until the time comes to act. STILL THEY COME. TTT II .it i . . e v&u auenuon 10 two impor tant utterinces in this week's issue of the Caucasian. One is from Hon Wharton Barker, editor of the Phil adelphia American. Mr. Barker has always been a strong Republican and a protectionist. But he has always constantly contended for the money of the Constitution as one of the greatest questions in American poli tics. He now says there is no hope of getting this through the Republi can party and calls on silver Repnb licans to join forces with the Peo pie's party at St. Louis on July 22 The other is from a Democrat, ex oenator martin, of Kansas. He points the silver Democrats to the Usame road for relief and good gov ernment. He and Mr. Barker wil both be at bt. Louis on July 22 ine procession grows wonderfully eacn ween. THAT LETTKR. Last week the News and Observer published a letter, s tating that Sen ator Butler had sent it out to the Peo ples Party committeemen of the State senator Butler does not deny (as some papers have since said) that he wrote the letter, but of course he did not intend it for publication nor did he send it out to the committeemen of the State. On the other hand he has called a meeting of the State committee of the People's Party to consider the question tion and other matters. of eo-opera- h'iie copies of Thi Caucabiajt three months for $1,00 NOTICE OF C0iITTEE MEETING. atate KimiUmCriiIUm( UMfMpWa Party CtlM to . la Balalca, April lata.

Congressman Shuford has taken the first step in the Ho us to have those shady-looking, scandalous Cleveland-Carlisle bend deals inves tigated. He has introduced a reso- ution providing that a special com mission snail be cAarged witn mat uty. 9 Mr. Shuford's action is unquali fiedly commendable, and there's no honest man in this Union who would not be glad to see him successfully carry out his purpose. Bat he has a hard fight before him to even reach the outer boundary line of suceess. The parties and partisans to whom be must make nis appeal to nave these deals piobed are those from whom but little can be expected along this line. The House is largely Republican. he issuing of bonds, regardless of the manner in which they are issaed, and the favoring of the money power constitute a too distinctly Republi can party policy for us to hope that lepublicans will be willing to assist in bringing about an investigation The most rabid Republican partisan could not have pleased the Republi can party more than Cleveland has by his course. We are of the opinion that Mr. Shuford will meet vigorous opposi tion, and we think that opposition will be strongest among the Repub lican members. The Northern wing of the Republican party is always vindictive, and only a few days ago the Republican House passed strong resolutions of censure against Thos F. Bayard, Ambassador to Great Britain, for commenting unfavora bly on the Republican policy of pro tection. The only reason that this Republican House has not impeach ed Cleveland, or called mm to ac count, is that he has been carrying out the Republican policy of national finance. If this is not so the Housa has been sadly inconsistent in censuring a United States Ambassador for do ing a little talking and refusing to deal in any way with a Democratic President who has acted in such a way as to put him under the suspi cion of the honest men of the coun try. Senator Peffer some weeks ago introduced in the Senate a resolu tion similar to the one introduced in the House by Mr. Shuford. Time and again he has sought to bring it to a vote, but the bond dealers have their watchmen in the Senate, and it has never yet been before that body for discussion. Hill, of New York, never fails to be present when I this resolution is mentioned, and so careful and watchful of it has he be come that he has won the sobriquet of "watch dog for the rascals." He is always up with some par liamentary objection and so far none of his objections have been overcome by the Senate. He knows that the full, clear facts in connection with these secret bond deals would ex pose incalculable rascality, and though some time ago he was an avowed opponent of Cleveland, now he is the most watchful of all the watchmen in seeking to block any movement to have these deals thrown open to investigation. The money power employs and controls both of them. Mr. Shuford will find that the ras cals will have a watchdog in the House. We think Boutelle, of Maine, will stand a good chance of being placed on guard, but if he is not some one else will be, and whoever he is he will always be in his seat. It will be a great achievement for Mr. Shuford if he can ever succeed in getting a committee report on his resolution; and if he shall be able to secure its adoption and have its pro visions complied with, he will have accomplished something that will make his name live in the hist v of this country. fcx President HarrUoa Harried.

Steinkemp and 75 men kept the avenue clear for carriages. There was no block or unusual crush at any time. The wedding which took place in the presence of 20 relatives and se lect friends of the bride and groom was a very private affair. The edi fice was not decorated in the lavish style that marked the nuptials of Miss Vanderbilt and Miss Whitney, the two most important weddings of the season; but the flowers used lilacs and ascension lilies were ar ranged in exquisite taste and the ehaneel looked even prettier and more effective in the perspective than at the two previous weddings.

The Vance monument fund amounts to about 12,000. By tbe way. we won der wbat a true North Carolinian would say to a suggestion that Matt W. Ransom should have a monument erected to him by an admiring public. A paper or a man that sticks to prin ciple and makes a square figbs for it seems to ttorow tuese democratic pa pers into utter consternation. Sacb a f roceeuing is something that is not in Jemocratic ethics and is beyond their comprehension. Shall we compromise our principles for a few oilicers and retreat, or shall we stand and push tbe fight for prin ciple? This is the only way for our party to make converts aud to ram in thought and power. There is no doubt about wbat the rank and file of tbe party will say when they send dele gates to tbe State convention. Tbe gold Democrats of Texas have passed a resolution that "a full term Populist government is preferable to free silver Democracy." Well, wben these srold Democrats get their eyes open a Tittle wider, they win see mat any kind ol government is better than any sort of Democracy. By the way the "sorts" of Democracy these days are about as numerous as Democracy itself. Here is the way Congressman Crisp opened that roaring Democratic (?) farce comedy which he and Hoke Smith are conducting in Georgia: -mj Mmtu ana myself are loth Dem oernts. e both expect to earnestlv and loyally xtand by the Democratic nom inee, but just now the policy of tbe Democratic party is to be formed, and Mr. hiniin ana I diner on one impor tant question. We differ about mon ey." Why should any Populist be trying to break his neck to fuse with one of the old parties when the rank and file of both of tbe old parties are disgust ed, and are considering the advisabil ity of joining the People's Party to stop nara times ana restore prospen- tyr it me 1'eopies Party cannot co operate on principle, then this year is its opportunity to win by making a straight fight for principle. If some members of the People's Party would give more time and effort to advocating the principles of the party, and trying to make converts to its principles, and give less time to trying to fuse with one of the goldbug parties on any terms, they would be doing more for the advancement of the People's Party, and tbe welfare of the btate and nation than thev are now doing. It is more than four months to the time for holding county conventions The Caucasian urges the People's par ty in eacn county to remember this when either one of the old parties try to get them to fix up a fusion agree ment at this early date. There is no need for haste. The old parties know that they are wrong, and fear the ac tion of the people within the next few months. The People's party is gaining eacu uay. iroviuence is turninerthe tide our way. This is because we are right. Let us stand firm and await de velopments. Don't commit yourself to any fusion arrangement mis early, it is more than four months until it will be nec essary to nominate county candidates Many things will happen between now and then. There is everv indication that there are great political changes ahead of us. Every one of these changes win inure co ine beneuc ol the Peo pie's party, vve can act wiser when we see what the two old party conven tions do than we can now. Let us watch, wait, pray and see. When the time comes for action we will act and the people will be with us. The Georgia Democratic circus is in full blast.

In fact the letter means just about what Democratic piatiorms mean, and of course is cal cuiaiea to confuse the Democrats l ne opinion or The Caucasian is that iue letter means anything or nothing, Not long since tbe dirtv littl. Dpiti ocratic papers in this State and other oiaies were raising a terrific din be cause senator Butler made a few speeches in quick succession. This was when he was fighting the goldbngs and trying to get the Senate to say That Wv i vnnA V.n J . . . uumuic uuuus Biiouia be issued without consent of Congress.

Now, honestly, don't you think that of all disgusting things, these dirty, dirt dabbing, disgraceful and disreputable Democratic sheets are the worst? All of Butler's speeches would not fill twenty pages of the Eecord, while George's single speeches fills thirty eight pages. Some of the leading manufacturers of the country are of the opinion that the free coinage of silver is absolutely necessary for the life of extensive bus iness and prosperity in this country. We recently gave an account of a meeting of a number of these manufacturers with some silver Senators in WshinH-nn in which they so declared. Theydid so' as' Individuals.

Tbe clnb feared that ltee iews of tbe Individual manufacturer wbo favored silver would be regarded as tbe views of the club; so they have beld a meeting and declared in favor of "international" bimetallism and a igb tariff. These are tbe men wbo are putting up tbe money for McKin- ley campaign. SENATOR PRITCHARD-S VIEWS. I r Correct li Jaetd HCnpkuli UIm- alf a "Parly Mac " The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer sends out an nterview purporting to come from Senator Pritchrd. THE Caccasiax oes not give it as a fact, for we have long since learned to look with. somelallowanee, on everything of a po itical character that appears in a Democratic paper. If, however, this interview is genuine, it describes a position that the People's Party in North Carolina will xkvzr support, and it may be of some interest to Senator Pritchard and his friends to accept this statement as a fact. Senator Pntchard's advocacy of the restoratien of silver inside the Republican party is sublimely ri dicnlous. Here is what he is reported as say ing: "An overwhelming majority of tbe Republicans of North Carolina are in favor of a division of the elee torai ticaet on a basis that will give . a a a the nominee of the Republican party one half of the electoral vote of our State. At the same time the advo cates ef a divisional electoral ticket among the Republicans are unalter ably opposed to an independent sil ver electoral ticket. Such a propo sition has never been entertained by myseir or any otner Kepublican in m . x aa m a . North Carolina so far as I know. emphasize this statement in order to remove any misapprehension as to the Republicans' position on this question in North Carolina and to say further that my advocacy of sil ver has had no such significance. say now what I have repeatedly said, that l advocate the restoration of silver, inside of the Republican par ty, and have never for a.moment en tertained a thought of its aecom plishment outside of the Republi can party."

There is a sensation in Gold Hill, Rowan county, due to the shooting of Miss Frances Trextor by her father. She had a sweetheart, who last night took her to church. Her father, who opposed their courtship, got a gun and awaited their return, in tending to kill her lover. She re turned alone, however, and her father told her how he had intended to kill her lover if he had come with her, when the gun was discharged and .the entire load entered her thigh, tearing it to pieces. Some believe the shooting was not acci dental. THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS PASS. A Tremendous Majority In The House Sit Down on The Hireling or Tb Susar Trust, The tools and agents of the sagar trust made a strong tight to prevent the resolutions recognizing Cuba from passing, but for onee they were badly defeated. The House could not stand the wide and growing im putation that the trust was trying to innuence its action. On Monday the House adopted the conference report onjthe Cuban reso lutions by a vote of 244 to 27. The report on the resolutions had been debated Friday and Saturday ana tne rote was taken immediately after the reading of the journal. Eighteen Republicans and nine Dem ocrats voted against the report. Af ter tbe most determined opposition of those opposed to the recognition of the Cubans in the Senate and House, there were but ten more votes against the report than against the original resolutions. The former vote was 202 to 17. By its action rr . i we nuuse agreed to tne senate res olutions and disposed of the Cuban question for the present. Those res olutions were as follows: "Resolved, That in the opinion of Congress, a condition of public war exists between 4he government of bpain and the government proclaim ed and for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba; and that the United States of Amer ica should maintain a strict neutral ity between the contending powers, according to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States. "Resolved, further, That the friendly offices of the United States should be offered by the President to the Spanish government for the recognition of the independence of Cuba." . The resolutions were officially brought to the attention of the Pres ident by the Secretary of the Senate. Ordinarily, concurrent resolutions are not forwarded to the Piesident, as they do not require his signature, but these resolutions will be laid be fore him because they express the opinion that he should tender the offices of the United States to Spain for the recognition of Cuban inde pendence, and are, therefore, a di rection to him, in-so-far as Congress can direct the President in such a proceeding.

The Position of Hon. Wharton Marker. Editor of The Philadelphia American He says that there is no hope for C nancial reform in either of the old parties. He anneals to the silver men of the Republican party to join forces with tbe people's Tarty at M. Louis on July 22nd. Dknvkk, Col. April 4. The Rocky Mountain News has received the fol lowing message from Hon. Wharton Barker, editor of the Philadelphia "American." PniLAPELpni a, April 3.-The action of tbe Manufacturers' Club, this week's straddle, taken with the declaration of Mr. John Converse, candidate for president of the club, "I am for the single gold standard," convinces all those bimetallists wbo have hoped to see the Republican party adopt a straight-out plank for the restoration of silver to its old place 1G to 1 by independent actionof tbe United States that the friends of silver renione tization must abandon that hope. As tbe Democratic party is not likely to do better than the Republican party it is the duty of those of all parties wno qo not uoia principle subservient to political expediency, and wbo put patriotism before partisanship, to come to a common understanding among each other, unite on a common policy, join in the promulgation of uenniire policy ana unite and at once organize for political action.

Some Polnta for Republican Plum II uutera and Pie Crabbers. A letter is going tbe rounds which we think would open the eyes of the colored voters generally if they would quit allowing a few schemers to throw sand in their eyes. It was written by a coioreu man in tne employ of Con gressman Settle. Now !.t the colored voters see how they are "hoodooed," not oniy ny wnue men, but even men of their own race. How many of them win get any oi those juicy plums: and let them ask themselves what they have voiea tnemseives into during the past years, iiere is tne letter : HocskofRepbeskxtatives, U. S., y asmngton, v. c r eb. 20, 'u, Absolutely Cokfipestial. Dear Sir: Yours of the 18th to band V .1. a - ... . xes, mere is some uissausiaction in the district. Most of which arose through disappointment of some few men to get appointments. I am in conference with Settle and Wray every Sunday, all day at his committee room in tbe Capitol. They know all about it and almost all of the men in the movement. But Settle is tbe candidate of the combine and is sure to win. He is all right with the big politicians in National issues, besides they are doing all the talking now, but he will show his hand after a while. I am possibly nearer to him than any (col.) man in the 5 D. C. I know all of his plans, but am not to speak yet. Spencer li. Ad ams is a candidate but cannot win. Settle has the combine behind him. Dockery will be nominated for Gov. (confidential strictly) and elected. Russell not in it. Boyd is a Clu-cluck-can. We are for Reed. Pritchard is a McKinley man. So is Grant, be (Grant) was nominated for Sargent at Arms as you well know, but is not elected yet. A case so near yet so far. Settle knnva all the men wbo are kicking in Reids- viue. a am certain be will be nomi nated and elected. We are going to have a Republican President and there will be plenty of plums to be given away and the people who stand by him now are the ones who will get there. I buj ium tuat a certain man is roinsr 1 . t : . -ii - . . . " suuumeiusviiie saying mat 1 under minded him and got his job. It is not so. He must blame Settle not me. I have all these fellows under my finger now. I am in the confidence of the powers that be. We want some good loyal man in the county to work. Please keep up with the movement of the enemy and let me know anything that transpires and you shall be re warded. Settle wants me to come down and stay awhile but 1 don't want to come. If I come I will get my regular pay and expenses. Write me every thing. Yours, . , J. B. McGxbee. And here is one more thing. It shows what tbe "cullud gem'men's friends in de norf" think of tbe dele gates the colored men send to the na tional conventions. "Dixie's black and brown delegates to tbe National convent'on at St Louis will put in appearance, just as they have at every national conven tion of that party since the war. When l?eiL f"iYe tne wlu be shabbily clothed and look seedy, but in less than two days all this will be changed. TheyW,ii appear arrayed in nobby suits, patent leather shoes, kid gloves, shinine new tiles, and mnrann.!.. ties. This change will be brought about by the sale of tickets, which are parceled out to delegates a ft .; they will be in the market for the sale or votes. A thrifty colored delegate Will go back to Dixie from attendance on one of these conventions with sev eral hundred dollars in their pocket.
