The Home Cornmittnn which has bad

Thorp, contentant againat Sidney 1
Kpen.of the Fourth Virginia Congress
ional District ha finished its report
Tbe report covers Dffy-two printed
page and devote considerable space
to the election lawn of Virginia and
their history.
We make the following extract :
"Klections hId In this section of the
State have become notoriously corrupt,
falae, and untrustworthy becautte ol
the bad character and fraudulent prac
tices of election ollijtr appointed by
partisan Democratic elector ial boards,
which in many instances ilagrantly,
wilfully, and defiantly disregard the
salutary provision of the law requir
ing judges to be selected from compe
tent voters known to belong to ditrer
ent political parties, selecting as such
judges only partisan Democrats in
many case', or, often when the law is
pretendedly observed, selecting as a
representative of the Republican party
ignorant colored men not recognized
a morally or politically lit to repre
sent that party. Until the fraudulent
practices of election olllcers were in
troduced, the Republican majority in
tbe district as returned waa from r,t:O0
to t. 00) votes in all elections for a Re
presentative in Congress."
It will be seen from the above that
the gross frauds and ballot-box stuff
ing in this irginia District were
made posfcible by tbe appointment of
improper persons for registrars and
judges of election. In fact the report
above referred to maintains that the
Virginia election law requires the
choosing of judges of election from
persons known to belong to different
political patties, each cf whom shall
be able to read and write, was disre
garded by the Democrats who were in
charge of the election machinery for
tbe purpose of fraud and ballot-box
stuffing to defeat the will of tbe peo
ple.
The same condition of affairs was
brought out in the report of this elec
tion committee a few days ago in the
case of the Populist candidate fur Con
gress from Alabama contesting the
seat of Plowman who holds the certi
ficate of election as a Democrat.
This is nothing new to North Caro
linians. Under the rule of tbe Ran
soro machine, the same condition of
affairs existed in this State until the
ballot-box stutrers wtre overthrown in
1891. While the Democratic election
law in North Carolina, as in Virginia
and Alabama, required the appoint
ment of at least one representative of
opposite political parties for registrars
and judges, vet tbe framers of tbe law
cunningly and wiMi malice afore
thought left the selection of these per
sons of tbe opposition party to the
Democratic machine. Where they
wanted to commit fraud they always
selected those to represent the Re
publican party or tbe People's
party who were either ignorant or
corrupt or else Democrats in dis
guise. This, of course, will ena
ble any party having charge of the
machinery to manipulate elections as
tbey see fit. In addition, the North
Carolina election law provided for a
county returning board, which met a
week after the election so that tbey
could throw out more votes if tbe bal
lot-box stutters bad not thrown out
enough or stuffed tbe ballot box suffi
cienMy.
It was to correct these flagrant and
infamous abuses which poison the
very springs of free government that
caused the People s rarty to make a
fight for each political party to have
the power to name at least one regis
trar and judge of the election to repre
sent it. This proposition was so emi
nently fair that no one could give any
good reason for objecting to it. Ut
gave to each party one person, and a
person of its own selecting, to guard
its interest and to see if tbere was a
free ballot and a fair count on tbe day
of election, and when tbe votes were
counted. Tbis eminently fair and just
principle was engrafted into tbe new
election law enacted by the Legisla
ture of 1805. It was so eminently fair
and just that it made no difference
what party was in power, each party
was entitled to a representative of its
own selection to guard its interests,
and therefore fraud in elections was
made practically impossible. No hon
estjman and no honest party can object
to such a provision, and no election law
is fair and just that does not contain
tbis provision.
But we regret exceedingly to state
that tbe Republicans, who bad been
cheated by tbe Democrats for a quar
ter of a century, in the Legislature of
1897 joined with the Democrats and
tbe bolting Populists to strike this
provision out of the election of this
State and return to tbe old ballot-box
stuffing methods of the Democratic
machine.
lawyers who are thought to be prom
inent Democrats, and conclusions may
be drawn by tbe public according to
ita ability for passing upon facts. Tbe
article referred to presents tbe sub
stance of tbe creation of the claim.
In ls!5or HOC these claims, to wit:
fTl'J 75 for Carteret county, and $1,831,-
1M from Pamlico county, were present-
ru tome men Auaitor. lie arew war
rant! on the btate Treasurer, Hon. W.
II. Worth, for their liquidation. Tbe
Treasurer declined to pay the war
rants and then the matter went to the
courts. 1 he understanding of The
Caucasus is that tbe Supreme court
decided that the State was liable for
the claims
A demand was made on the present
Auditor for the amounts, who, admit
ting the liability of the State under
the decision of tbe court, held that he
was unable to find any existing statute
law which would justify him in issu
ing the warrants, and that be could
only report tbe matter to the General
Assembly for adjustment.
Tbis transforms tbe affair from a per
sonal affront to tbe President into a
national affront. Will tbe American
people stomach tbis insult without a
prompt apology from Spain? Tbe ad
ministration owes it to tbe American
people to demand such an apology. Is it
possible that President McKinley will
give tbe American people another rea
son to believe that tbe interest of tbe
Spanish bondholders, which have con
trolled tbe past administration are
still controlling tbis administration
in its most astonishing conduct to
ward the patriotic Cubans fighting
the same evils that our forefathers
fought and struggling for the same
iberties tbatwe secured by tbe Revo
lutionary war?
It is time for the administration to
learn that it is not representing Amer
ican sentiment. Tbe spirit of 7C is
abroad in tbe land, and if we are not
mistaken there will be evidences of it
in tbe next Congressional election.

self oa record as a barmonizer instead
of a disrupter. Tbe future will reveal
his true condition. Whatever he or
others may do, shun tbe cunning and
dishonesty of Sbvlock and his hire
lings."
TiosB Dreadful Sores!' PAMICO
OYSTER CASES.
No question is raised as to tbe de
cision of tbe court on the matter as it
came bal ore that body ; but it is reas
onable to suppose that if such facts as
are shown in the article printed else
where had accompanied tbe case when
it was reviewed, there would have
been a different decision. The Cau
casian declares that if these claims
are just, they ought to be paid; but if
tbey are not just, tbey should not be
paid. Of course we can only take a
common sense view of tbe matter. We
admit our inability to cope with tbe
various technicalities that, in these
times, can be twisted into almost any
case, nor are we capable of sustaining
a controversy of a legal character
against any adept at distortion of tbe
law. What appears to be fair and just
to us is tbis :
Any summons served on any person
who actually claimed a proprietary
right to any natural oyster bed can be
tairly and legally charged for, but a
huge "bill of costs" created by tbe
simple act of writing summons for
people who are dead, and for peo
ple op whom they were never served,
ought not to be paid. Such a process
looks like a scheme for lifting cash
from tbe public treasury under tbe
guise of a legal proceeding. It is quite
probable that the present State officers
will contest tbe payment of these
claims, as tbey now stand, as long as it
is possible to resist them.
As a matter of public importance, it
would be interesting to know if tbere
are many other cases in which dead
men have been summoned in tbis mat
ter, and how many more cases there are
in which summons have never been
served. If the good people of Carteret
and Pamlico counties, whose names
appear in tbe published lists, will assist
in obtaining information along this
line, and forward the same to Tbb
Caucasian, it will be given to the pub
lic.
SjKNATOB LINDSAT AND thi kkh-
TUCKT LEQISLAICBK.
The Kentucky Legislature recently
passed a resolution requesting Sena
tor Lindsay to resign. Tbe Senator
who is one of tbe.victims of tbe Cleve
land "regime," in his reply calls
attention to tbe fact that they bad
elected him since he voted to repeal
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act. The point is well taken and shows
how unreliable the Democratic party
has been on tbe money question. A few
years ago when tbe Peoples Party was
making tbe flgbt for silver alone, it
riwixo IT ALU ocr.
Five years ago, any many in tbe
Southern county who attempted to
warn tbe people against tbe money
power and tbe encroachments of
corporations was pretty general re
garded as a mild sort of lunatic Now
the Democratic Machine Journalism
of tbis State is the only thing that has
the impudence to condemn and de
nounce such a man. But tbe people
and some officials are finding it all
out. An exchange says :
An eminent judge of our highest
State court was recently heard to saj
that tbe greatest danger to tbis country
is tbe ever increasing power and ar
rogance of the great moneyed corpora

of tbe immense power which their
money gives them they have almost
universally controlled legislation, tbey
have dictated tbe appointment of al
most all Federal judges and, in some
States, of tbe State judiciary as well.
By means of combinations and trusts
tbey control tbe prices of a great
number of tbe articles of prime ne
cessity to the people. By manipu
lations very much like common lar

of transporation and then oppress
the people by extortionate rates.

supplies as cross-ties when they please,

It is easy to effect an analysis that
will show tbe venality and emphatic
hypocrsy of the Democratic machine
and its journalism. Juit read tbe
Democratic party platform. Then look
at the record of the Populiat Congress
ional delegation. Then look how the
Democratic machine journalism sland
ers that delegation. Tbis will ibow
you that the Democratic machine jour
nalism is either a liar in its platform
professions, or it is a liar in tbe abus
of the Populists. It is a liar any way
you can fix it in tbis matter.

THE 8PANI-H MINISTER AMD PRESI
DENT Bit K I A LET.
IT LOOKS PfiUULlAK, ANT WAT.
Elsewhere in this issue is published
a brief account of what is known as
tbe "Pamlico Oyster Cases." It is not
our intention, in commenting on tbe
matter, to undertake to put any one in
a false light, or to charge to any one's
account anything that ought not to
ee charged. Tbere may or may not be
Last week tbe Administration at
Washington, and, indeed, tbe whole
country, was shocked by the publica
tion of a private letter written by the
Spanish Minister at Washington to
the editor of the Herald, a Spanish pa
per, tbe organ of the Administration
at Madrid. How the enterprising
American newspapers secured a copy
of this documet is yet a mystery.
But tbe Spanish Minister has not
denied that he wrote the letter. In
fact, be admits that he wrote it.- Tbe
letter contains a confession of tbe
failure of tbe autonomy plan of Spain
to pacify Cuba and further contains a
statment that nothing but immediate
great military success in the field
would save Cuba to Spain. In fact,
the letter contains a confession that
Spain is in desparate straights and
that something desperate must be done
or she will lose the island and the
Cubans will gain their independence.
This is very important information
but it is not tbe part of tbe letter that
caused the greatest senation. It is a
paragraph that reflects upon Presi
dent McKinley and is in the following
language:
"Besides the natural and inevitable
coarsenres with which be repeats all
that the press and publio opinion of
Spain has said of Weyler, it shows
once more that McKinley is weak and
catering to the rabble, and, besides, a
low politican, who desires to leave a
door open to me and to stand well
with tbe jingoes of his party.
Such lanuage is not only an insult
to the President but it is an insult to
tbe whole nation. But the greatest
humiliation to our country is not from
the fact that such language was used
by tbe Spanish minister as from tbe
fact that the President has put him
self in a position to make such lan
guage about him and the Administra
tion possible. Tbe Spanish Minister ac
cuses the American President of gross
insincerity and double dealing
There is no uncertainty about the
charge. He has according to Minister
De Lome, tried to pose as a friend of
Cuban independence, while at the
same time seeking to court favor with
the Spanish bond-holders, as Senator
Hoke Smith. While Lindsay was vot
ing to repeal the last silver law
on the statute book, editor Daniels,
who was holding a job (pie if you
please) under Hoke Smitb, was writing
letters to bis paper advocating and
supporting tbe course persued by
Lindsay and Ransom.
The action of the Kentucky Legis
(ature recalls some interesting history.
w nen senator Cameron voted agains)
tbe Force bill, the Pennsylvania Leg
islature asked him to resign. Of course
he did not.
In 1876 the Legislature of Wiscon
sin adopted a resolution similar to that
of Kentucky, calling on Senator Doolit-
tle, of that State, to quit. The Legisla
turewas spurred to that aciion because
Doollttle had voted against tbe sub
mission to the States ofttf fifteenth
amendment to tbe Constitutiou of tbe
United States. He paid no attention
to it.
Lewis Cass of Michigan, got into
hot water with his State. He op
posed in the Senate the Wilmot pro
viso ins pite of tbe instructions of his
Legislature which directed him to fa
vor it. lie said that in a direct con
flict between bis duty and his princi
pies that he would resign his seat. In
opposing the Wilmot proviso he held
that no con Act bad arisen between his
duty and his principles and so did not
resign. He retained tbis seat until
1843, when, being nominated for the
Presidency by his rarty and being de
feated, be was re-elected by bis Legis
lature to serve bis own term out.
Tbe celebrated Henry Winter Davis
was made to feel the vengeance of bis
State in a somewhat similar manner.
He was elected to tbe Tbirtysixth
Congress as a Know Nothing. A long
struggle ensued over the election of a
Speaker, John Sherman being tbe Re
publican. Finally tbe struggle waa
ended by the choice of Mr. Penning
ton, of New Jersey. Mr. Davis voted
for bim and for so doing was, as he
expressed it on tbe floor of tbe House
"decorated with censure by the Mary
land Legislature." He was a plucay
man and declared to bis constituents
that if tbey would not allow their rep
resentaive to exercise bis own judg
ment as to what was tbe best interests
of tbe State,?tbat "you may send a slave
to Congres, but you cannot send ma."
of 1897, where they were held, the rec
ord was something like this :
In Massachusetts, for free silver.
In New York, for nothing; but tbe
nominee was a goldbug.
In tbe city campaign of Greater
New York, tbe Chicago platform waa
absolutely ignored and abandoned, bui
so-called free-silver machine Demo
crats helped Tammany Hall to win.
In Maryland, for gold.
In Pennsylvania, for free silver,
though goldbugs were nominated everywhere.
And so it will be this year.
And in 1900 tbe goldbug machine will
have full control of the Democratic
party. Watch tbe prediction.
Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, is a
Democrat. Senator Murphy of New
York is a Democrat. Lindsay voted
against tbe Teller resolution. Murphy
voted for it. The Kentucky legisla
ture requested Lindsay to resign be
cause he voted against the resolution.
The New York legislature requested
Murphy to resign because he voted for
the resolution. All Democrats. All a
beautiful ines ir'r i ?
u I at else is tbe Dingley bill but a
scheme to reduce the revenue of tbe
government so that tbe Treasury will
gee short of cash? Then tbere will go
up the old cry about "maintaining the
credit of tbe country," and then tbere
will be another issue of bonds. It was
s under a Democratic administration.
It looks that way under a Republiean
administration.

"POPULISM'S OBKATEST DAKQEB
Under the above heading Major W.
A. H. Hotchkiss, editor of the Nation
al Republican, wiites a very thought
ful and timely editorial. Maj. Hotch
kiss has been a reformer since he left
the Republican party to support Peter
Cooper for President on tbe Greenback
ticket. He has fought unceasingly for
tbe principles of Peter Cooper all these
years, and is now one of the leading
men in the People's Party of Minneso
ta. He has been a middle-of-the-road
er, but his devotion to tbe cause has
forced him to repudiate tbe methods
employed by tbe men who got up the
Memphis Conference.
Telegragb dispatches state Wm. J
Bryan, Marion Butler and others have
gone west to consult with reference to
a uniting of all the financial reform
forces for the coming campaign. So!
Bryan and Butler consult together
Bryan thinks Butler very worthy of
such consultation, and Butler believes
Bryan to be honest enough to trust.
Tbey can unite for reform. The Demo
cratic machine journalism down here
can out whoop a whip-poor-will for
Bryan and can out-smell a pole-cat in
their nasty abuse of Butler. We just
want tbe people to analyze such facts
as these, so that they may eee what a
slobbering fraud and contemptible by
pocrit tbis Democratic machine jour
nalism is.
Senator Chandler in an interview
warns bis Kepulican friends that if
the next campaign is tought on tbe
money question, the Republican
party will be inglorious;y defeated
He appeals to the Administration to
take at once a bold stand for Cuban in
dependence and to inaugurate an
American policy that will meet the
approval of the people and call atten
tion from the evils of the gold standard
and monopoly rule. Speakine as a
partisan Senator Chandler is very wise
in this utterance; but if he would
view tbe situation from tbe stand
point of patriotism why should not
these reasons be sufficient to cause
bim to leave the party of trusts, com
bines, and gold?
Concerning the "Pamlico Oyster
Cases" about which something is said
in this issue, we wish to observe that
more than one Democratic machine
journal has admitted so-called "editor
ials" and anonymous communications
to their columns denouncing the State
Treasurer for refusing to pay the war
rants drawn by a Democratic Auditor.
These "editorials," etc , were nothing
less than the whine of certain lawyers,
who are machine Democrats, because
they were barred from tbe public crib
from which they were so long accus
tomed to feed.
v e are compelled to appreciate
the effort of the Greensboro Tele
gram to be "smart." Doubtless his
papa told him when be was a little
financial reform. Then when tbis jour
nalism finds a Republican or a Popu
list who stands squarely for silver and
reform, it villifies and abuses them
with all tbe malevolence and vigor of I
which it is capable.
Yes, this Democratic machine jour
nalism, or part of it, whoops for silver
and financial reform but there is
enough of it for gold to allow it to be
said that the Democratic party has al
ways stood for gold, in case the gold
bugs capture Jhe party again, which
tbey are almost certain to do.
If the Democratic papers are for fi
nancial reform, why do tbey publish
with such a flare of trumpets and gigle
some glee every prediction and proph
ecy of the downfall of Marion Butler.
Has a man ever gone from North Caro
lina who made a better reform record.
The Democratic machine party is
about the same as it was in 1896. There
were campaigns in some states, in
1897 and the record made is like a fish
factory struck by lightning. It looks
tousled and smells bad.
It is noticeable that a certain so
called journal publisbed in Raleigh
has omitted to "number" the latest
"scandals" it has published for the be
nefit of its "highly respectable and ex
ceedingly modest clientele."

This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and evrn
heir resorts to tbe knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and lorces it out perma
