Xo matter how charming the heliotrope shade may seem it should not be chosen for a young girl, and no matter bow glowing and attrac tive a bright red fabric is, it is inartis tic as a party dress, and should on no account bechoaen.

Kvery bedroom should, if possible contain a couch, if it be only ot wick er, and especially is one indispensable in the room of a guest, who frequently : I longs for a'sliort nap, but refrains from taking one in the fear of disturb ing a beautifully made or decorated bed. (uf8t furnishings, by the way, should not be so line as to be over powering. If the room be small, and there is no other place for a couch, it could be set at the foot of tbe bed, where, if supplied with casters, it may easily be moved when, necessary. 3 a: -a M C DR.

The Caucawan acknowledges re ceipt of book entitled "Life of Braxton Craven," by Prof. Jerome Dowd, of Trinity College. This lit tie volume will commend itself to all of Dr. Craven's old students. The story of Dr. Craven is well and strik iugly told and many parts of it reads more like romance than reality. It is written in an interesting and vig orous style, aud the writer arouses and holds the attention of the reader to the final paragragh. We com mend the book to all and bespeak for it a liberal circulation, one com memsurate with its real merit. W thank Mr. Dowd for his labor of love. Marshall DeLancey Haywood has written a brief narrative of Gov ernor Uurnngton. This book wil prove of grfcat interest to North Car olinians, giving, as it does, the life, character, services to the province and a true circumstance of the mys terious death of the Colonial Gov ernor The book is for sale by Al fred Wilhams & Co., Raleigh, N. C. price 50 cents. Two admirable serial stories wil be published in Harper's Wet kly in the course oz the year. 18U7. One, New England story by Mary E irr-n n . -r vvuj&ins, win Degin January, and me oiner, a taie or a ureeK uprising against the Turks, by E. F. Benson ice autnor or "uoao." will appear during the latter half of the year. Besides these, more short stories will appear in the Weekly than it has been possible to pnblinh during 1896. A Htquel to "The ILmse-B at on the Styx," by John Kendrick Bangs,will also appear early in the year, illus trated by Peter Newell. The October number of Harper's Magazine contains the first instal ment of Mr. du Manner's long expected novel, "The Martian." The opening scenes are laid in a boys' school in Paris in the early fifties, and the hero is introduced at the very beginning of his career. From this fact and from the hint conveyed in the introduction it seems not un likely that Mr. du Murier, following t m . -w .... ' " tne example or Fielding and Thack eray, will attempt in "The Martian" to portray the character of a man in the h&me catholic spirit in which "Tom Jones" and "Pendennia" were created. Of ne thing there can be no doubt. The story has all the spontaneity and charm of "Trilby" and "Peter Ibbetson," and the au thors relation to his reader is as cordial and confidential as only Mr. du Maurier knows how to make it. A fine new portrait of the author of "The Maritan" is the frontispiece to the number. I PEOPLES PARTY ST ATK PLATFORM. The Peoples Party platform of North Carolina, in convention assembled at Kaleisrb. on tbe 13th day ol August, hereby reaffirms its unqualified al legiance to tbe principles of tbe party, and hereby approves the platform of the Peoples Party adopted at its Na tional convention held in tbe city or St. Louis, July 22nd, 1896. THK LCTIOS LAW. We hereby reaffirm our fixed de termination to support and maintain a free ballot and a fair count in all elections held in North Carolina; and the election law passed by the Gen eral Assembly of 1895 meets our hearty endorsement and approval; and we hereby pledge the Peoples Party to the policy of upholding the principle of free and honest elections provided for in said election law, and warn tbe voters of the State against the threats which have been made to repeal the game. COCNTY GOVERNMENT. The act of the last General Assem bly restoring to the right of local self government by the election of their county commissioners and just ices of the peace by the vote of the peo ple in the respective counties, ana tne safe-guards therein provided, meets with our hearty approval, ana we pledge the Peoples Party to the con tinued support and maintenance of that legislation, and warn the voters of the necessity of preventing injuri ous changes in tbat act, and of the danger of electing members of the General Assembly hostile thereto. LEGAL TENDER MONEY. We favor the exercise by the State of North Carolina of the reserved con stitutional power to make all gold and silver coins of the United States (in cluding tbe trade dollar) a legal ten der for tbe payment of debts, and mat this right be inforceu by the pas?age of an appropriate act by the General Assembly. GOLD NOTES AND MORTGAGES. We believethat all money demands should be payable in the lawful money of the United States without preference or discrimination, and therefore favor the passage by tbe General Assembly of a law to prohibit the taking or giving of gold notes, bonds and mortgages in this State, and the making of all mon ey demands solvable in any kind of lawful money of the United States. INTEREST. We pledge ourselves to maintain the six per cent, interest law enacted by the last General Assembly. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The action of the Peoples Party members of the last General Assembly has demonstrated, beyond question, that the Peoples Party has been true to its antecedent platform declarations in favor of public education. We de mand still further improving and broadening the public school system of the State as rapidly as a proper re gard for the interests of the tax payers and the resources of the State will permit. We also favor such revision of our present school system as may increase the efficiency of our public schools and insure the most compe tent and effective supervision. We think that the committee on Educa tion of the next General Assembly should invite and secure, as lar as possible, the co-operation of the lead ing teachers and educators of the State in framing and perfecting the school law. JUDICIARY. Our judiciary should be lifted above the plane ot partisan politics. tion, which waa so universally con demned by tbe press of tbe State and all classes of our citizens, when it first became known. We therefore demand tbat the next General Assembly fully investigate this transaction, and to the end that tbe interests of the State may be fully protected as far as it can be done, such legislative action shall be taken as to counteract, as far as possible, this unwise and secret trans action. REMOVAL OF CASKS. The removal of cases from tbe State courts to the Federal courts for trial wherein the plaintiffs are poor per sons and defendants rich foreign cor porations, on application oi defend ants, is a growing evil in North Caro lina, and in its practical operation frequently amounts to a denial or jus tice to poor suitors, and therefore should be condemned. We demand, therefore, that the next General As sembly shall pass such a general stat ute on this subject as to take from such corporations doing business in this State tbe privilege of carrying on business in North Carolina, and with drawing the protection of the State extended to their business, if tbey persist in escaping the jurisdiction of our courts when claims are sought to be enforced against them therein. We advocate such legislation as will insure a just listing and taxation of all evidences of debt, and make an equitable adjustment of the burden of taxation between the debtor and a creditor. REDUCTION OF SALARIES. In order to keep our public servants in thorough touch and sympathy with i oppressed masses, and to check to some extent tne scramble for oince, we demand a reduction of salaries un til sucb time as through an increase of the currency the price of property and products will justify the present rates. land grants to Lb Pacific BaUroaxI eoxnpan-1 tea have. tnroQgb connivance oi lam iaunor decautment. robbed mnmrort) or bonaaoe actum ot ueir aoaiaaj aaa buboi of their eloima.

While the foregoing propositions con stitute the platform upon which our party stands and for the vindication of which its organization will maintain, we recognize tbat tne great and pressing issue oi tne pending campaign upon which the present Presideutial election will turn is the finan cial question, and upon this great and sie- ciuc issue Deiween me parties, we coruiauy invite the aid and co-operation of all organ izations and citizens agreeing with us upon this vital ouestion. a THE ALLIANCE DEMANDS. MOHAIR PETTICOATS Soma Changaa to Coloring Make Them Equally aa Protly aa Milk. Mohair petticoats are to be offered In bright colors, making an excellent substitute for silk. Thse garments will be finished with the same care be stowed on silk, and may be worn when ever silk could. Are they quite as nice?

And so, to sum up the capabilities of the chairman of the "new Democ racy," it is fair and just to say that ho has proved bis modesty, his sin cerity, and his shrewdness. Per haps no political manager was ever confronted by so perplexing a prob- em as is now offered him. No chair man in a natiwnal campaign had ever bO Slender a campaign fund. No man in like position had ever sj eager, so earnest, so clamorous a constituency. Senator Jones is prob ably not unaware of the condition which confront s him, but he has that placid, even stolid temperament which makt a the many think: that he is blind t' the responsibilities of hia position.

We favor the establishment or a State institution for the reformation of young criminals. DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION CON DEMNED. We condemn the Democratic admin istration in North Carolina for its failure to execute the anti-trust laws of the State now on our statute books and call the attention of the people to the fact that official action in this re gard is not in harmony with the ultra anti-trust sentiment heretofore and now being expressed by the leaders of the Democratic party. RAILROADS. We favor the establishment of such equitable aud low freight rates .and cnarges for products shipped from Tsorth Carolina as will enable shippers and producers to realize at least a fair remuneration after costs of such ship ments have been deducted. We call especial attention to the possibilities of the trucking industry n Eastern North Carolina, an indus try which, but for the extortionate tariffs of the common carrier, would increase an hundred fold, carrying with it the greatest prosperity to that lily favored section it has ever known. We earnestly recommend to our State Railroad Commission that they use all the powers they have to bring about such reductions; and especially that they urge before the Inter-State Commerce Commission all complaints of extortion and discrimination with such vigor and continuity that should they fail to secure remedial action by the Inter-State Commerce Commis sion, all the people would know where to place the responsibility for exist ing outrages; and if their facilities for fighting the battles of tbe people before the luter-State Commerce Com mission are inadequate ior that pur pose, tbat they make recommendation to the General Assembly of amend ments to existing laws, to tbe end that low and fairer rates may be estab lished, both in the State and Inter State jurisdictions. llexolvcd, I bat we recommend a con stitutional prohibition of the pur cnase, lease or rental or parallel or competing railway lines. FREE PASSES. We favor a law" forbidding the giv ing of free passes to public officials, and forbidding their receiving the same. NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD LEASE. We condemn the lease of the North Carolina Itailroad to the Southern Railway Company for ninety-nine years, not only as a bad business transaction in which the interests of the State amounting to tbe large sum of $3,000,000 invested in good paying property yielding an income, were sacrificed; but we also, in most em phatic terms condemn the hasty and Becret manner in wbiph it was done several years before tbe former thirty years' lease, by its terms, would have expired. We call the attention of the people of tbe State to the fact that some mysterious power has prevented an investigation through the i proper legal channels, of this transao- The Peoples larty National Platform. following is tne ropunst platform as adopted; The Peoples Party assembled in Na tional convention, reafBrms its allegiance to the principles declared by the founders of the Republic and also to the fundament al principles oi just government as enunci ated in the platform of the party in 1892. W e recognize that through the connivance of the present and preceding administra tions, the country has reached a crisis in its National life as predicted in our declaration four years ago, and that prompt and patri otic action is the supreme duty of the hour. V e realize tnat while we have political inde pendence our nnanciai and industrial inde pendence is yet to be attained by restoring to our country the constitutional control and exercise of the functions necessary to a people s government, wnicn functions have been basely surrendered by our public ser vants to corporate monopolies. The influ ence of European money changers has been more potent in snaping legislation tnan the voice of the American ieople. Executive power and patronage have been used to cor rupt our legislatures to defeat the will of the people and plutocracy has been en throned upon the ruins of Democracy. To restore the government intended by" the fathers and for the welfare and prosperity of this and future generations, we demand the establishment of an economic and ii nanciai system wnicn snail make us mas ters of our own affairs, and independent .of European control by the adoption of the iuuuwiog: DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. 1. e demand a national menev. safe and sound issued by the general govern ment only without the intervention of banks of issue, to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, so that a iust. equitable and efficient means of distribution may be made direct to the people and through the lawful disbursement of the gov ernment. 2. We demand the free and unrestricted coinage of silver and gold at the present le gal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the consent of foreign nations. 3. We demand the volume of circulating medium be speedily increased to an amount sumcient to meet the demands of the busi ness people or this country and to restore the just level of prices of labor and pro duction. 4. We denounce the sale of bonds and the increase of the public interest-bearing bond debt made by the present administration as unnecessary and without authority of law and that no more bonds be issued except Dy ispecmu act oi congress. u. e uemana sucn leeai legislation a will prevent the demonetization of the law ful money ot the United States by priyate contract. o. v e uemana mat tne government in payment of its obligations shall use its op tions as to the kind of lawful money in which they are to be paid and we denounce the present and preceding administration f r surrendering this option to the holders of government ooligations. 7. We demand a graduated income tax to the end that aggregated wealth shall bear its ust proportion of taxation and we de nounce the Supreme court, relative to the income tax law, as a misinterpretation o the constitution and an invasion of th1 rightful po vers of Concress over the sub ject of taxation.

We hold, therefore, that to restore and preserve these rights under a re publican form of government, private monopolies of public necessities for speculati ves purposes, .whether of the means of production, distribution or exchange, should be prohibited, and whenever any such public necessity or utility becomes a monopoly in pri vate bands, the people of the munici pality, state or union, as the case may be. shall appropriate the same by rieht of eminent domain, paying a just value therefor, and operate them for, and in the interest of, the whole peo FINANCR.

Vatlooaal Aaiorlatlaa! ! rmr ClaW. Wajhixotox, D. C, Sept. 2., 1S96. Political Clab orgmnitation baa proven one of the moot effeetire ad junct to campaign work that has ever been devised. The preeent campaign has bronght into existent more elabe than any other known in the history of the country. The Peoples Party mutt not lag behind the proe4ftion. There should be a Peoples Tarty Club in eTery town- shin in America and. where tho party is strong, in every school di triet. There should be one in each villa ire. and in each city clnbs should be organised by wards. These dabs can be not only an .important help in the present campaign, bat they oan also be a permanent good to the party. Here is tae plan: Let each State committee recommend, through the pnblie press and through tbe regu lar tarty organization, the starting of Populists club in every precinct in the State. No organisers are ne cessary for this, although State or ganizers and county organizers may be appointed, lint in the main tne people should organize for them selves. These clubs are to be open, are to hold;weekly meetings during the campaign and after that as of ten a they see fit. Tbey are to re port the names of their officers (Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer) at once to the National Committee, together with a neminal charter fee ot, ray One Dollar. The National Committee will in tnrn forward a charter and ' enroll the club as a member of tbe National Association of Peoples Party Clubs. These clubs are to have public discussions. are to distribute literatnre which will be sent to them from National and State Headquarters, are to attend rallies in a body, are to do quiet work, to make converts in the neigh borhoods in which tbey are organ ized: and are in every way practica ble to lend enthusiasm, energy and effectiveness to the campaign.
