The office of Railroad Commissioner Is one of great Importance requiring ability of a high order to properly dis charge the duties of the office re quires men who cannot bo traded by politicians. Art. There is no oflioe in the State that h more important at this time than th .10 ttice of Railway Commissioner. It h one, too, that requires not only ut ility, hut the highest class of coni-aee. The monopolists have housed that they will control any com minion that is appointed. But plenty of men can be found in the Ktiittt who know what is right and who have the courage to do it, in ,itn of the combined monopoly in iluence of the United States. The iit'xt State convention of the Peo ples Tarty should nominate two siu ii men and let them go on the Htiinip and canvass the State, and 'ell the people where they stand, be fore they are elected. Tli- iorrrnor Slioul Statevllle Mascot (Dem.)l If Governor Ilussell was sincere in his speech beforo the Railroad Commission when he said that he desired passenger rates reduced, he will accept Caldwell 8 proffered resignation and appoint some one who will rcduco them. He threw Jim Wilson out of office because ho would not reduce the rates. He can get Caldwell out without a law suit. Now is your chance, Gov ernor. i.oon ton rorisANA. Tho Constitutional Convention of I.ouisana which is now in session has just put a provision into the or ganic law of that State prohibiting tree passes. It not only prohibits the railroads from giving free pass es but goes further and makes eve ry State cllljial liable to impeach ment who receives a pass from any railroad within the State. We learn from the Associated Press dispatches that the railroad.lobbies fought this provision vigorously. The railroads know the power of free passe?. They have given them to nearly every juJK'e, legislator, and other officials in the State, and they know that they have succeeded in"inllaencirg nearly every man who has accepted their passes. The free pass has a strange and mysterious influence. It costs the railroads nothing to issue it, and yet with it they can bribe legislators that could not be bribed with money. The railroads nse f xee passes not on ly to corrupt judges and legislators'. but they nse them to control conven tions and to get their tools and at torneys nominated for office. Louisiana has acted wisely. If the constitutional convention does noth iag else it will have done more to freo the legislatures of the State from corrupting influence than any thing else it conld have done. Let North Carolina follow Louisiana's example. Who I II- ? " Fayetteyille Observer. The llaleigh corespondent of tho Ashovllle Citizen, writing on the 28tli of March, says: " A member of the Democratic State Committee says ho regrets tho publication of National Chair man Jones' letter advising co operation." Now, in view of the factjthat the committee endorsed (unanimously, as stated by this correspondent in tho Charlotte Observer) Chairman Jones' address declaring for co-operation, this is a most extraordina ry position for a member of the committee to take. It is due to the other members of tho committee, who are thus under suspicion of having acted in bad faith, that the name of this backslider be given. '!! vr 11 'onfHe JToo Much. Webster's Weekly. 1 L. C. Caldwell, chairman of the Railroad Commission, is catching it on all sides for his mysterious flop on tho passenger rate question. Ho voted with Commissioner Pear son to reduce rates and a few days later reversed himself, giving as his reason the shamefal confession that "ho voted against his better judgment the first time and fool ishly yielded to the clamor of poli ticians." Ho says further that there was no evidence to sustain his vote, while the evidence on the other side was overwhelming! If Mr. Caldwell's voto was backed by an unworthy and demagogic mo tive, what assurance have we that the second was any better? His own confession justifies the ques tion. It is a serious thing to take an oath binding one to be abso lutely Impartial and then confess that said oath was wilfully vio lated. A judge making such a confession would bo Impeached and unfrocked. We cannot understand how Governor Ilussell can retain Caldwell after removing the Wil sons for a much less serious of fense. Caldwell tendered his res ignation simultaneously with his flop, but the Governor has not ac cepted it. Why this delay ? NKIIKAHKA Wll.l. XOTIilVE I T. The Nebraska Independent com menting upon the recent decision of thel.'nited States Supreme Court in the "maximum freight rate" decision "a j : " There will be no halt in the fight for lower railroad rates in Nebraska until they are secured. If the cor porations knew the strength of senti ment among the great mass of people on this Doint and their knowledge of the railroad problem they would pur sue a different course. The mass of people do not want to "confiscate" any property. They simply insist that railroads must become public servants and furnish the public service without discrimination ;agalnst per sons or places and at rates commensu rate with the average returns from other lines of industry. If the cor porations will do this it is well. Ir they won't the people will find means to make tbem do it or will take pos sesion of the roads at the price they are worth not at all at what they are capitalized. Well and bravely spoken. We ad mire that kind of grit. But Commis sioner Caldwell says, "no lot us give up to the railroads and surrender." Commissioner Caldwell, you are wrong. There is something to matter with at least your liver and your head. The people will not surrender to the gold and railroad syndicate of the Kothschitd?. Justice shall prevail. Jurigce Avery too Bnny to Writ HUtory of North Carol I ni Soldiers. News and Observer. After expending a great deal of time and labor in collecting material, Judge Avery has been very reluctantly compelled, by pressure of other busi ness engagements, to give up writing the history of the Xorth Carolina troops during the Confederate war, and to rescind his contract with the Atlanta Publishing Company. He abandons the work with much regret, but he is unable to write the history neglecting important days ago a meeting of prominent sil ver Democrats was held In Denver. Among them were some of the most influential and active men in the state the leaders of Colorado democracy. They unanimously adopted a resolution in favor of nominating straight democratic tickets In that state and against fusion or combining with any other party In the campaign of 18U8. To understand the real signific ance of this move by Colorado democrats a study of the election returns from that state is import ant. In 1801 the vote on judge of the supreme court stood, republi can 00,845, populists, 70, 487$ demo crat, 0,034. In 1800 Bryan had 161, 153 votes to McKinley's 26,271. But on the state ticket in 1806 the dem ocrats fused with the silver repub licans with a democrat for governor and their entire fusion ticket was elected over the populist. The vote for governor was as follows : Adams, (dem. and silver) 87,4."6 Bailey, (populist), 71,003. Allen, McKInley rep), 24,111. Five of the present state ollicers are republicans and three demo crats. Last vear the silver repub licans and McKinley republicans combined on a candiate for judge of the supreme court. The popu lists nominated ;Judge uabbert, a very strong candidate. When the democratic convention met it re jected the suggestion of Judge Gab- bert, who had formerly ben a dem ocrat and put up a candidate of its own. It was discovered that its nominee had formerly been a Cleveland democrat, and so much dissatisfaction was the consequence that he withdrew. When the votes were counted Gabbert had 08,888 and tho republican 04,047. It would appear on any basis of computation that the populists in Colorado were largely in excess of the democrats. This action on the part of leading democrats is there fore a little difficult fo understand, except on the theory that they have the governor and believe they will be able to reelect him this fall. But if one may judge by their statements as reproduced farther on they believe that the democratic party there will absorb the popu lists and other bi-metalllsts. They think union for the battle of 1000 is necessary and the only way to secure that union Is by uniting in the deomcratic party, which they claim must furnish the candidates and the platform for the next presi dential campaign. This seems rather strange talk from western democrats at least it will seem so to western populists. Upon the question thus raised by Colorado democrats the following private letter from W, J, Byran to the dem ocratic national committeeman there will be read with great in terest i J Ij' rail's Jtter. . Fayette, Mo., March 20, 1808. Hon. C. S. Thomas, Denver, Colo. : Dear Mb. Thomas have not bad time to write you since the three addresses were issued by Senators Jones and Butler and ex Congressman Towne, but avail my self of a moment's leisure today to say that so far as I have been able to learn, the position taken by the three national committees is quite generally indorsed by the rank and file of the three parties. If there Is any opposition anywhere it will manifest itself in those states where the silver sentiment is so strong that one faction may hope to con trol the local offices by defeating the other faction. To some it may seen immaterial whether our forces win by united action or one wins over the others, but it seems to me that a survey of the whole country ought to con vince any impartial friend of bi metal lism that divisions now weaken us, for the battle of 10OU the attack or the pretendi-d friend who refuse assistance. I f nd our platform growing stronger all tho time, and have no doubt of silver triumph In li) If our force will fctand together. Yours trulv, W. J. Bvkax.

Nealy all other oaestioni have been subordinated in Coo err ess to the eonaideration of the Cuban ques tion, and throughout the past week the greatest interest and sentiment have been4 manifested.

In fact, I regard the approaching struggle as the skirmish line of 1900. To win in that election it is necessary that we have the hearty co-operation of all classes of bimet allists in tho country. Without this 1 see no chance for success. Hence I issued an address, copy of which I enclose, some time since, which was unanimously indorsed by the Democratic congressional campaign committee. 1 believe this policy to be absolutely essential to success in iuuu, and 1 confess my deep regret at seeing a disposition among Colorado Democrats to take the opposite course and drive from us exactly that class of men w ho must come with us to make success possible. We cannot take the ground that we can drive thousands of men off in Colorado and receive their assistance in States where it is ab solutely necessary to havo them to win, because the courso pursured in one part of the country will be felt all over the country. No State has a greater interest in the success of condition cf matters relating to Cuba and the destruction of the Maine. It was expected that, before this time. the President would send in his mes sage to Congress favoring armed in tervention to stop the butcheries and atrocities that are being com mitted by the Spaniards, but the country has been disappointed, and, in many sections, distrusted with the weak, vaccilating and procrastinat ing policy of the President. In fact, so intense is the sentiment for Cuban independence that Republican clubs have denounced the -President's slow methods of stopping the cruelties in Cuba. Congress is now, and has been. for some days.""-! eadv to act in a manner that will relieve the Cubans of further distress and suffering, and at the same time be in harmony with the overwhelming sentiment of the country but the President has not been in accord with Congress. Many able and patriotic speeches were made inis week in favor of Cu ban it dep ndsnce, at d not a fexr of he speakers favored a declaration of war against Spam for her treach ery in destroying the Maine. benator Allen, (Pop.

We were in party of that State should have as deep an interest in the success of bimetallism in 1900 as to be willing to bring about the best possible state of feeling among all classes of bimetallists. Grant, for the sake of argument, that you pan make a de cided partisan success in your State by pursuing the course indicated in the newspapers as being laid out by the meeting to which I referred, that will certainly not compensate for the losses which we will sustain in other States as the result of this action, and which will probably cost us the Presidency. l know your high standing, your deserved popularity and influence among your people. 1 sincerely hope that you will think calmly and deliberately over this matter, and that you may see your way clear to join in the movement which Aye all beiieye to tje absolutely essen,- tial to success, and try to bring into hearty co-operation all classes of bimetallists. I believe that the chief hope of the Republicans for success In 19Q0-is in preventing cor operation among bimetallists, and that our chief reliance for success is in cordial and earnest co-opera tion.

We were 4 so persistent that we incurred the displeasure of many Senators, some of whom I am now glad to know have become the sincere and .fearless ad vocates cf independence. That I may prove the correctness of my statement, I will refer briefly to the record. December 4, i introduced a resolution, of which this is a para graph : That the government of the United States of America should promptly recogniz ) the revolutions of Cuba, who are now honestly struggling to secure tneir independence or tne Spanish government, as composing an independent nation and possess insr the rights thereof according to the law of nations. And in speaking in"" its support at that time, said among other things! I am of the number who believe that this government should prompt ly recogniga the revolutionists of Cu ba and assist them in all lawful ways to secure their incependence of the Spanish government and enable them to. establish an independent republic. I would not have this government plunge headlong into a needless quar rel with the Spanish government, bnt I would lend every assistance that conld be lawfully and properly giv-. en to the aspirations of the people of Cnba for a republican form of gov ernment. I believe it to be the true policy and the true doctrine oi our country that whenever a people show themselves desirous at establishing a republican form of government upon any territory adjacent ta ns they Bhoald receive our encouragement and support. If our form of govern ment is the correct one, and of that 1 have no doubt then its recognition or establishment in othc r lands should be encouraged, and when &a oppor tunity shall present itself to us to lend this encouragement it should be promptly and effectually given.1 Senator Turner, (fop. washing- ton) Introduced a resolution in the Senate directing the Foreign Rela tions Committee to investigate fully and report to the Senate what action should be taken by Congress- in the matter of the destruction of the Maine, and what measures should be adopted to uphold the honor and dignity of this country. Senator Turner in his speeeh declared that the evidence submitted by the Board of Inquiry was sufficiently strong to justify the United States for he forcibly maintained that the blow ing up of the battleship was due to Spanish treachery, and she. should be held responsible for the act. He arraigned the President Xor his pol icy of non-action, saying : With a' diplomatic representative at Madrid complicating the position of this country and defeating even his own efforts by the most, frantic asservation or a purpose to secure peace at any price; with a private secretary, the alter ego of the f resi dent, circulating appeals through- out the country for gimp of EsBiTa ay t eipe' ed to take otae itdfi&iu action re sffardid to us by th stray aad fafitiT. t'lerrtmt from Ma r j atd other capitals in Kiroj; with Ike txampU that va hare a a of tae manner la hiea the dc.trartioa of our battleship and the murder of our tailors has been trat4 by the Exeeotirr; with still other fraatie appeals rur delay; with the C-akf vi me liiim oiaieestiu oniLiormtd and uncertain as to what is to be the result of delay, if the appeals worii io, u i not sarpmtng to ay mind that tbe America po- pie nave become impatient f this intolerable si aati-m and demand of their representatives in Congress ac tion which tht y alone are capable of taking, and wmeh will grandly tib dieatetbe on raged honor ard dig nity of this nation. Senator Harris (Pop. Ktn.) mad an eloquent appeal for action imme diately to stop the bellith crimes that are being committed in Cub. The following extract is taken from his speech, and it trnly represents tbe sentiment in Congress No race on earth ever exhibited such stern, and self-control; but, oh, men in high places here, and beyond the seas, d not delude and shame yourielrej with the thought that thi. tne blackest crime cf all the im will be a mere "incident:1 that this. the foulest insult that tbe world has blushed for. will be arbitrated: that this hideous specter will ever be laid by the diplomatic wiles of a nation that forever lets "the false face hide what the false heart doth know:" and to-iay, Mr. President, all over this land there is tbe ery "why do you wait T" and the flig snarls and li uts the wind, impatient. Oh, (iod, it can not be that we for get ! that we forget ! Sir, I have seen war. If to die were to reach the summit of human I calamity, if to weep and monru for the loved and lost were to make up the sum of human woe. then nothing would be worse than war. But, sir, there is a crucifixion of the soul when honor diet; there is a death of a na tion "when the jingle of the guinea I heals the hurt that honor feels;"' there is an existeac, when patriotic pride is dead, "that doth murder sleep' and life becomes a hoi rid nightmare, and men shun their fellows, and the laugh of little childien becomes a taunt and a mockery. True, there have been men who could exist and thrive and fatten without national honor or pride or patriotism, like worms in a muck heap, but that na tion has been the scorned of all time and has quickly died. God forbid that any such should ever be called Americans. Sir, I shall never consent that our dead shall lie in Spanish soil and un der the Spanish flag. Brave Ameri can sailors can know no rest there. When . it becomes consecrated by freedom, when that flag has trailed in the dust, when the Cuban repub lic is raised as a monument to the men who went down in the Maine, then, and then only, will they sleep. Do you say this is revenge, and that revenge is unworthy of a great nation 7 No, Mr. President, a right eons wrath and just resentment, the swift punishment of the assassin and the wrongdoer, are wholly different from revenge, and are the safeguards and protection of a nation among na tions, and enable us to look the whole world iu the face. What sight more glorious than a nation roused in such a cause as this ! God hates coward, and a nation timid, halting and hesitating in its foreign policy is a sight despised of Qod and man, A just war promotes and preset ves all that is highest and best in national life.
