The News and Observer, after four week's hesitation and squirming, has at last been forced to answer but what an answer! See how it dodges In the isitue of September 20th it says: The Caucasian asks: "Which kind of white man's party does the News and Observer favor?" The same kind we had in North Carolina from J87 to ls:? Ask us something hard. And this in all that it says. It dod ges the "hard" part of our question. In fact, it dodge th whole question at issue. For the benefit of our many readers who have subscribed to Thk Caccar ian during the pant month, we will sy that four weeks ago we published a column and a half editorial headed "The Kind of a White Man's Party Needed," in which we showed the kiud of the white man's party that all goou men favor one that w'll bring togeth er to elect the nest legislature all of the good citizens of the state who are honestly opposed to the gold standard and to the domination of the State by Rothschilds' railroad corporation. We also showed that the railroad papers and machine politicians, acting under the order of Rothschild's "over seer" in North Carolina, wanted to get (Sold Democrats and Silver Democrats together, the railroad Democrats and the anti-monopoly Democrats togeth er in the same bed, and what they cal1 a straight flght with the "nigger" as the issue. This would make a kind of a white man's party it is true, but a party of the Cleveland and KansDin stripe to serve the monopolies and turn over the next legislature to the railroads, with the ultimate object of downing Bryan in 1900. Remember, that we set out the polit ical situation and described these two kinds of white men's party and a3ked the News and Observer which kind it favored four weeks agi. Since that time we have repeated the same ques tion in every issue of the paper, chal lenging the News and Observer and other papers that were yelling nig ger,," and were claiming to favor a white man's party to answer. It was almost cruel for us to ask such a ques tion of that paper, and we sympathize with the News and Observer greatly in its embarrassment, and therefore delay in answering. As we have said r?peatedly, if it attempted to answer this question it would dodge the two pointed questions. We stated that it could not answer without convicting itself of being in favor of reinstating tbe Ransom Machine in power and turning over the next legislature to the railroads, unless it came out bold ly and accepted the proposition which The Caccassian made for a true white man's party in the interest of the peo ple and good government. The conscience of the editor of that paper has been lashing him for weeks, and we have sympathized with him in his embarrassment. On September the 25th, the day before the News and Ob server attempted to answer, it is prob able that something like this occurred : Some railroad attorney seeing the pre dicament in which Tub Caucasian bad placed the News and Observer and other "nigger" organs, and seeing that the people were beginning to demand that they meet Ths Caucasian' ques tions went to the News and Observer and suggested : "Why don't you an swer by saying that you are in favor of the kind of a white man's party that we bad from 76 to 94." This was a new thought to the editor of tbat pa per; a great burden was lifted from him as be saw he could attempt to dodge our questions, and hence he ran to his desk and pe lined his little re Pl J. There is not a roan who has read Th Caucasian's article in favor of a white man's party for reform and good gov ernment but what will smile at tbe lame and dodging reply of the News and Observer. It will remind each one of the cae of the ostrich that thought it had hid when it stuck its Head in the sand. But for the benefit of those, if there be such, who may think tbat the Observer' reply is in any way pertinent, we will state the following facts : ' From 1876 to 1894, or rather from the aamimstration or Vance to that of Russell, every governor has been a so called Democrat, jet every one has been under the influenceof the railway corporations of tbe State. Does the News and Observer want more Gov? ernors of tbat kind? From 1876 to 1894 every legislature in North Carolina has been Democrat ic (except the Alliance legislature in 1891, and we are in favor of another legislature of that kind) yet every one of these legislatures, except the Alii ance legislature, has own dominated and controlled by tbe railroads and tbe money lenders Year after year, for ten years or more, the people ave been demanding a Railway Com Ission to control railroads and check it discriminations and extortions yet the railroad attorneys controlling tbe Democratic party each time made their campaign with tbe "nigger" and the tariff as the issues, and bene suc ceeded in getting a legislature each time ttat would down a Railroad Commission. Does the News and Ob server want more legislatures of that kind? It wa in m) when tbe people rose in their might regardleea of pr,J. un der the leai of tbe Farmer's Alliano-, kickt-d the nigger and the railroad pol iticians in the background and made i great campaign against railroad domination and pledged every candi date for tbe legislature to vote for a Railway Commission and for other economic reform, that tbe people f rst succeeded in electing a legislature tbe ralroads did not control. The negro was not an nsue in tbat campaign, and yet the white men got together and elected a legislature on the re'orm questions. Tab Caucasian is in favor I of another such fight. Will tbe News and OWrver jiio Tn Caucasian in making such a fight, or will it help the railroad attorneys to make the "nig ger an isrue and elect another legis lature that the railroad can control? The same is lru with reference to the six per cent. Interest law. The people demanded it. year after year. The railroad j and the Cleveland and Ransom goldbugs in disguise who con trolled the Dennrratio party each time promised it to them, but they made their campaign on the tariff and the ' nigger'1 and succeeded in getting a legislature which the bankers and money lenders could control, and hence it was le.'t for the Peoples Party members in 1691 to give the people the six per cent interest law, which they had so long demanded and which had been denied them by every Dem ocratic legislature. Is the News and Observer in favor of electing the kind of a Democratic legislature tbat will repeal tbe six per cent, interest law? From '76 to "J4 every Democratic legislature (except the Alliance legis latu re) refused to pass laws to force rail roads and other monopolies in tbe State to list their property aad pay their share of taxation. Is the News and Observer in -favor of electing an other legislature of that' kind wbicb will repeal the laws which the Alli ance and tbe Peoples Party have pas sed to force this vast amount of prop erty to pay taxes? For years the women, girls and teachers of the State bad been de manding the establishment of a Norm al Industrial and training School for giris. Every Democratic legislature under monopoly inlluence denied this appeal. The Alliance legislature granted the appeal. Which of tbe two kinds of legislatures does the News and Observer favor? From 70 to 'Oi the Democratic party under tbe lead of the railroad attorneys and the Rmsoiu Machine sent dele gations to every national Democratic convention supporting a Cleveland goldbug fir President. Does the News and Observer want to re-estab lish the rule of that ring and dynasty in order to slaughter Bryaa in 1900? in short from 76 to Ti the rule of this bourbon and monopoly machine which controlled the Democratic party betrayed tbe people so often that they were forced to resort to ballot-box stu.Ting and fraud, to perjury and bull pen eleci'on method?, in order o per petuate themselves in power and to protect themselves from the wrath of tbe people who wanted to vote to con demn the r methods. Does the News and Observer want to re-establish the bull-pens and ballot-box prejury? If the railroads and the Ranson Machine capture the next legislaluie itwi'lbe done, and the News and Observer knows it. inese are oniy a lew oi tue many reason why the good people of this state do want to see the Cleveland Ransom monopoly machine reinstated in this state as tbey were from '76 to 91, with one exception. Thk Caucas ian has been showing each week how the good people of this state who united on great economic reforms in '90 '91 to give us a white man's goverment which the trust and monopolist could not control, and which would legislate for the public good could be united in tbe a co-operative movement for the same purposes in the next campaign We have also shown bow the old Ran som machine, controlled by railroad could again be re-organized and unfted We have asked the News and Observer each week the pointed question, wbicb one of thise two kinds of white men party it favored. It has dodged the question. We repeat the question which of the two kinds of a white man's party does the News and Obser ver favor? It will be no answer to this challenge for the News and Observer to attempt to dodge the question and the issues by saying that there are more negro constables and magistrates now than there were from '76 to '94. Whatever evils there are of this kind tha nm-J cratift nartv ar Tpsnnna.h'o tnr f ham T Did not the People's party officially oiler to co-operate with the Bryan Democrats to secure an anti-monopoly legislature in tbe last campaign? Did not the gold and railroad inflence in the Democratic party fcrje a rejection of this offer? Now, let tbe News and Observer take care that it is not re sponsible for other things that may follow. Take notice, that the People'. party will not allow hypocrites crying "nigger" whose real purpose is to turn over the State to tbe railroads and tbe Ransom machine, to capture the State next year. We repeat, that a co-operatit n of all those who are opposed to the gold standard and monopoly rule and in fa vor of the great reforms defeated in tbe last legislature will give us a white mtn's party such as we had represen ted in the legislature of 1891. This is the kind of a white man's party The Caucasian favors. Does the News and Observer favor this kind? Every intelligent man in the State knows that a co-operation of the men of all parties who oppose the gold standard and who favor transporta tion reform means white supremacy Then why are some newspapers that are yelling for a white man's party op posed to this? Because tbey are rail road organs. BTCrifJITY tHAT IS HOT TUttD Tbe monopoly grioder at Charlotte, when its editor is in possession of bit natural faculties, is not stupid. Bat bis latest flop in defence of tbe lease fraud is as muddy and maudlin as if it i bad come from tbe thick-skulled dotard wnoecribbles trasb for tbe "Wilming ton Mew." Listen to him : Tbus it will be en that Mr. Butler wants tbe State of Norta Carolina in its administration of tbe affairs of th North Carolina Railroad, to adopt ib nolicv whinfi he finds eo reprelienatbl" when pursued by Jay Gould and other corporal ionits.

In what particular de tbe moral character of tbe transaction proposed by one dffer from that proposed by tbe otner Now suppose a man (call bim Jo seph) owns a msjority of stock to a corporation. lie is offered a big price for it br-Jav or bis successors. Must be decline a big profit because bis mi nority associates cannot sell or will be hurt if be sells ? Ordinary men would sell and say. "this is my property and I am not guardian for you." Oh, but my dear Joseph, if you sell to Jay he will have the control and will cheat me. He will eat up the profits in big salaries for himself and bis cro nies; and will use the property to feed other property that belongs entirely to bim." So says the minority man. Joseph would answer: "Tbat is your lookout, not mine. If Jay cheats you then go to law or do the best you can I have had tbe majority control and didn't cheat you. But if a horse trader offers me a big price for my horse, I have the right to take it without en quiring as to whether be will gamble with it or cheat somebody on the race track." And no Joseph would sell his stock to Jay. Then Jay would proceed to cheat them according to law. lie would ap ply to them tbe "laws of business" by means of which the whole breed of Jays, the Astors, the Rockrfellers. the Vanderbhts and Rothschilds and Mor- gana have piled up their wicked wealth; and without which consentra- ted help would not be in control of a subsidized and corrupt venal press. But this corporation organ professes to helieve that Josenh in an immoral in selling his own property for a good price, as is Jay in buying it for the purpose of running over the minority men and swindling them ac cording to law. lie professes to believe tbat good men must never dispose of their own until they get the consent of all other good men and take security from the purchaser that he, himself, will be an angel. These truly good are scarce, except in corporation and monopoly railroad newspaper circles, where only true piety exists piety that is mens ured by the gold dollar and keeps pace with its rising scale. AKOTHER QUESTION FOR THE NEWS AMD OBSERVER TO ANSWKtl. "Airiena lens ot seeing svme con victs at work in Call well aii'S u.ion asking one of them the reason their being there, got this answer: 'That fellow,' pointing to a brother in dis tress, -is in for killing ov a cow; the rest of us are here for voting for Ed Wakefield last year.' F .rmer's Friend. The News and Observer copies tbe above and comments on it as follows : "Ed Wakefield left the Democratic party and joined tbe Populist Party because the Democratic party was not nosciie enougn to railroad and wasn't hot enough for surer. He was elected State Senator last year, and signalized his service by voting upon railroad questions in accordance with the dt sire oi vice-i'resiaent Aoarews, aite' a whispered conversation with that railroad magnate in tbe.Senate lobby." ine i-eopies rarty couia not pre vent a few bad men and hypocrites from leaving the Democratic nartv alone with the tens of thonsanda of honest and patriotic men who com pose the Peoples party, and besides, it could not be known who tbe bad men were until they have proven them selves unworthy. Now it seems tbat there are a very large number left in the Democratic party of the Wake field stripe, if we are to judge by the action of a majority of the Democratic members of the last legislature. It will be remembered tbat nearly every Democrat in that legislature fall but seven we think) deserted the people and went with Wakefield on the side of Andrews and the Southern railroad. The Peoples party promptly held a a caucus and not only condemned I - Wakefield and the other bolters, but expelled them from the par- ty in disgrace. Have the Demi ocrats who did what Wakefield did been expelled from their party? No. Why not? Because the Ransom machine and the Southern Railway want to send them back to the next legislature, but they cannot do if the railroad question is discussed in the campaign. Therefore they are all interested in yelling "nigger." The News and Observer further says that every PoDulist who voted fori aac every .ropuust wno voted for Wakefield ought to be sentenced to worn, on ine pumic toads. Not too fast. We submit that only those who endorse him now should thus be pun- lahail Th.n lot us .1..

Does tbe News and Observer favor this? We ask for an answer. "ORGAN OV THE DISAPPOINTED OF nam seekers. The following appeared in the edi torial columns of tbe Charlotte Obser ver : Tne Aiortn Carolina organ of tbe Disappointed Office-Seeaers, which is ior iusion or anytning, Lord, so it holds out hope of a government job, observes that it doesn't see as much as it did a week ago in the Democratic press about a straight fight; where upon it shakes hands with itself and says it killed the movement. The or gan deceives its conceited self. Little is being said about a straight flght be cause little more needs to be said. It is already settled upon." This suggests a little recent history, and to our mind the Charlotte Obser ver shows very poor taste and judge ment in alluding to it. When Ex Senator Ransom betrayed tbe people of the State and barted his rote on the liter question to ClereUtd for Fed eral patronage, ft will be remembered tbat tbe late Senator Vance refused to bend tbe knee to Cleveland tbat "thrift might follow fawning." In abort, be oppoeed Cleveland' policy with all of bis power, and vigorously reentel Ransom's treachery.

This is bow much it means tJ tbe railroads each day for tbe suspended commissioners to defy the law by keeping tbe new commissioners out of possession of the office. Of course it means at the same time a loss of tbat amount to the people each daj. Now let us see what ground, if any, tbe sus pended Commissioners have for resist ing tbe action of the Legislature as executed by the Governor. In North Carolina public office is held to be a contract. By the very act under which the present Commis sioners took office, they were to be lia ble to removal by a majority vote of tbe Legislature and to suspension by tbe Governor until the Legislature could act. This was a part of their contract, as much so as if written in the face of their Commissions. It cer tainly does not become them to fly " the tace oi tbe express ternn oi tne contract, under which they took office. Again, independent of any contract, the Legislature in creating an office has tne ngnt to proviae now ana oy whom the officer may be suspended or "moved. In England where the Judges are appointed by the crown and for life, they are neverthlees re movable by a majority vote in Parlia ment. Tbat is otherwise here, but only as to Judges created by the Constitu tion itself, which is a restriction upon the Legislature, but as to Judges or other officers not created by the Con stitution tbe Legislature ha? any rights not forbidden by tbe Corsiitution and can, in creating tbe office, provide for the incumbent's removal by itself and suspension by the Executive until tbe Legislature can act. The most learned legal writers lay down this principle of law. There are decisions too numer erous to cite to the same effect which we Lave not time to look up Tbe suspended Commissioners lose bo property rights by the action of the Guia ..-t, for unless the legislature re moves Hi-ii they will, by the statute, be paid in full for tbe time they are suspended. If wise, they would abide tbe action of tbe Legislature for if they resist and put the Governor's appoin tees to a quo warranto and tbe courts should hold againsttbem,tbey are liable to a fine cf $2,0G0 each by the statute. The corporations would be delighted for them to bold on a? long as possible, and would be willing to furnish them with lawyers and pay their fines. As the railroads are collecting $2,300,000 out of North Carolina annually in ex cess of just interest on their property, besides their enormous salaries to high er officials and illegal expenditures, it follows that every day that the sur,Den ded Commissioners defy the lav and keep the new Commissioners from put- WD ,n wrcejust mo. reasonaoie rates, is a gam to tbe railroads of f 6,000 to $7,000 per day, and a corresponding daily loss to tbe people of that sum. ANOTHER HE NAILED. In their desperation to raise race prejudice by appealing to the angry passions of the people, the "negro scare-crow organs" are not a bit over scrupulous in the manner in which they handle the truth. This is, of course, t be expected. They are appealing to the brute inhuman nature and not to the reason in the human mind. They dare not appeal to reason, for reason will demand arguments and nrnnfs anil then where are they? So they print i -o,amw, uai u-ioucu, uufamiaucu iie8. It matters not to them whether the lie has even a semblance to tenth- if it suits their purpose "any old lie" will do. They will print it as a solemn troth. One of these "truths" that h h..n going the rounds of the Ananias press lately is accredited to the Kins- ton Free Press, and is to the effect that a negro has been put at tbe head of the public schools in Lenoir nm.nt., that be is demanding to see the certifi. cates of white lady teachers, tvi t-.-,..

This is another lie nailed. A TACT AND A QUESTION AND AN- 8WER. The Wilmington Star says that there is no finer fruit in the world than tbat raised in Western North Carolina which is true, and another asked why none of tbat fruit is seen in tbe Wil mington markets in the place of in ferior fruit from the north?" The answer is easy. The freight on a barrel of apples from Asheville to Wilmington is more than the freight from New Tork. And yet tbe Star, the Messenger and all tbe Wilmington dailies and all the Asheville daily pa pers are opposed to a reduction of freight and passenger rates in this State? What is the matter? Do the railroads control them. R. O. Burton may not be able to do' tne J efcyll and Hyde act, but he knows how to occupy the dual position of rauroad attorney and attorney for the state's Kaiiroad Commission. rum nw sckool law ccrks Yalta Dcrxcrm.

How could he enter a campaign If our children are to be educated it is the cheapest way to do it. It is tbe only way thnt a majority of the chil- dren will ever get an education as long as we stay under tbe gold standard and tbe prices of farm products stay I low. We should have a graded school in every township, just as the cities now bave. Tbe city graded schools are run by local taxitlon, tbe county graded fcchools (if we ever have them) must also be ran by local taxation. It is the cheapest way to have good schools. JUDGE CLARK'S RESPONSE. The "Times-Herald" of Chicago se lected one justice of the highest court in each state and addressed him a let ter, enquiring as to the legality of in junctions in labor disputes, against la borers quitting work or moving about the country, and as to the proper rem edy for the abuse. For tbis State it selected Judge Clark. Below we give his response, which npholds the freedom of the citizen and the right of trial by jury. Editor Times-Herald, Chicago, III, Sib: In response to your inquiry, tbe new practice of lssuinginjnnctions in labor disputes, in its scope, is with out warrant in reason or precedent. It a oam usurpation oy juura wuu a a a a. ; a a I by the influence of great corporations and who are under no responsibility for their conduct. It is a denial to the citizen of tbe right of trial by jury, by judges who enact the law by their own decrees and then execute it by tbe pen alty for contempt. Tbe remedy is by a constitutional amendment which shall make tbe Uni ted States Judges elective by the peo ple in their respective districts and cir cu ts for a term of years. That public sentiment endorses this corrective power of placing tbe judiciary under the supervision of public opinion it shown by tba fact that in every State, except three, tbe judges now hold for a fixed term, and in those three they are removable by a vote of a bare ma jority of the legislature. As to the tuhenaeb8avl?nej rssrss ; selection and ordinarily by influences! tbat are hostile to popular rights; tbey are subject to no restraint, as impeach- ment is impracticable, and tbey assume to set aside the acts of Congress and to stay the action of the Executive at their will.

NOT ALWAYS U.10ERST00D A fact often overlooked, or not al ways understood, is tbat wonon suf fer as much from distressing kidney and bladder troubles as tb men. Tbe womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconvenience manifested in tbe kidneys, back, 11 adder, or urinary passsge is often, by mistake, attri buted to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily mads and ' may bo as easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi ment or settling is evidence that your kidneys and bladder need doc toring. If yon have a pain or dull aching in the tack, pass water too frequently, or scanty supply, with smarting or burning these are also convincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have doctored without bene fit, try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, the great kidney remedy. The mild and extraordinary effect will sur prise you. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures. If you take a medicine you should take the best At druggist fifty cents and one dol lar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail.
