The war between the I'nitetl Mates and Spain it at an end. n last Fri day, August the 1-th, the President issued a proclamation announcing the suspension of horitilttic. A copy of this proclamation which will be found on the Urst page of Tmk Caucasian, Was at once cabled to all of ti e mili tary and naval cniiiinamlerg of the United btatt. Spain accepts the prop osition of the United States to with draw the last vestige of her llag and authority from Cuba, Porto Jtico and all other possesni.iii in the Western Hemisphere, also from one of the Ladrone islands in the PaciUc. Tlie United States is also to hold the bay, and city of Manila, pending the con clusion of the treaty of peace, which will determine the disposition of the Thillipine Islands. Besides, Commis sioners are to be appointed on both ides who will mwet at Paris not later than October Int. The blockade of Cuba will at once be raised, and pending the linal set tlement of peace all military opera tions not only cease but all vessels of commerce will again lloat the seas un disturbed. It was on the JIhX of April, 1S'.)8 that war was otlicially declared by Con gress. This has been a very short but. i a very important war. During the one hundred and fourteen days the movements of our army and navy have been marked by unparaJlelled victories on land and sea. The great and bril liant victory of Dewey at Manila on May 1st was followed by equally as brilliant a victory by 0'ir navy under Sampson and Schley at Santiago. Not an American vessel was destroyed but both of the Spanish ileets were com pletely demolished. General Shaffer's army sustained some heavy losses in storming the fortifications of Santi ago, but his final victory was none the less triumphant. 1 he cost of the war has been very great. It will probably exceed over five hundred million dol lars. No Americn citizen, however, will regret this cost, for it has been expended not only to bring freedom to suffering humanity but to avenge the Maine, which self respect and &elf protection demanded. Besides, the re sult has been to add glory and prestige to the United States upon land and sea. tfterthej are elected.

It was tl.e State Farmers' AIIisik e that first cflicially denounced the infamous ninety-nine year leaae ai.it took utep to have the legislature to invertigate and set a-ide this rotten transaction. The People's Party in its State platform condemned this crime Hgiint me mien si oi ine maie, and pledged the party to have the next legislature to investigate it and a t it a-ide by any and all lawful means. The bill to investigate this lease and to undo the great wrong and crime against the people and the State that was done, would have passed the legis lature had not Skinner betrayed his party and joined Andrews and the gold-bug railroad lobby in defeating the anti-leaje bill by one vote. With these facts known, of course it in not possible for Skinner to get the nomination if the people are repre sented at the convention. Hut herein lies the danger. It Is well known that Sliinner has handled Mark llanna's Federal patronage in the eastern part of the State as part payment for his betrayal of his party and its principles to the goldbugs and the railroads in the last legislature, Me has managed to get a number of so-called Populists to take this Mark Manna patronage. These Mark llanna Federal office-holders, claiming to be Populists, are now at work running all over the district trying to manipu late county conventions so as to get Skinner delegates, and, besides it is known that (Jul. Andrews and the Southern Kailway has a big corrup tion fund which they always use to help nominate men who betray the people and help the railroads to rob them. If the honest masses of the party fail to turn out at their primaries and conventions there is danger of this scheme succeeding in some places. Lt't the Populist voters of the First District be on their guard, and see that none but true Populists are sent to th Congressional Convention. It would be a calamity and a disgrace to the party for any such traitor and monopoly tool as Skinner to be nomi nated. This man Skinner is not even allowed to attend a caucus of Popu list renators ana uongressmeu in Washington. If by trickery he should get the nomination he cannot be elected, for the honest masses of the Populists would not vote for him. But It is the duty of every Populist in the First District to see that the party is not discredited and disgraced by him being nominated. Let the per pie (instead of Mark Ilanna's and Skinner's Federal ollice holders and Southern Iiailway heelers) take charge of the convention and nominate an honest and true man who cannot only be elected, but who will be a credit to the party and not be tray the people after he is elected. town trading hore, at.d nearby an other crowd was listening to the jokes of a patent medicine vender, md In desperation the speaker took tbeir and went over and pitched tbeir rtool in this crowd and proceeded to speak to as many as would listen to them. If the Democratic State Convention had stood true to Uryaa and followed his advice for winuing a victory over gold and monopoly, and had not sold out to the Clevelandites and railroad attorneys, their speakers would then have been greeted by the honest masses of Duplin county; and, Indeed, they would have had the largest and moet enthusiastic meetings evtr aeea In the county. Thus it is evident that the Hansom machine, having captured the party and betrayed liryan and the people, will make this a campaign of false hood and villittcation. It is the only course left open to them. The people will repudiate them in November, as they deserve to be. VANCE'S KNKMIES OltliAMZINli VANCK CXlllS. Mow it WA ix th nAT or coon tiOTICltXMEST." !

This call to mind the fact that Populut State Treaaorer Worth ha put a flop to some of these imposition upua the farmer. In the "day s" of Democratic good government the Democratic Slate Treasurer not only allowed the Mee! range, farmer's tove, acid calendar c!o:k people to rob the farmer by selling tbem articie at twice J he r value, but did not enforce th- collet - tion of taxes from thee peddler. f r the State and county trearuriee. All of these articles have been put and peddled by a million dollar syndicate. They have run from seven to ten wagons. Every one of these wagons should have paid a tax of $110 to the State and to each county. Thi wa not done till Mr. Worth became S:te Treasurer. Over $10,000 has been saved by Mr. Worth on this line, and many thousands in other ways. Mr. Worth has saved the State over f'j.iXMj in the oyster fraud cases alone. Vet the Kansotn machine 6ajs that this is bad government and that the former was "good government." The State Alliance. Cvntiottrd from lt plge.; We notice that the Ransom Machine is organizing Zeb Vance Clubs in dif- j ferent parts of the State. What is the purpose of this? It is well known to the people of this State that when Hansom betrayed his party ami eold out to the goldbugs in order to get Cleveland's Federal patronage in this State and a further reward in addition, that it was honest Zeb. Vance who de nounced his conduct. It is further well known to the people of this State that Vance had declared that if he lived he would go into the campaign and tight the election of this goldbug trai tor Kanaom. It is further well known that Hansom, as a part of the price of bis treachery, got Cleveland to give a Federal oflice to Secret Circular Sim mons. hvery body io this State knows that Vance denounced Simmons as un fit and unworthy to hold the office, and that he held up his confirmation. Un fortunately Senator Vance was then quite sick and soon died, or Simmons never would have gotten his piece of goldbug pie. Vance hated Hansom and Simmons both with the holy hatred that an honest man hates a traitor. On the other hand, Ransom and Simmons bated Vance while living, aDd now hate his memory, just as such kind of men always hate an honest man. The bare statement of the above fact makes it plain why this gang are now organizing Vance Club. They hated Vance, but they know the peo pie loved him. They are trying to fool the honest Vance Democrats of the State into follmng their traitorous goldbug and mmopn'y lead ership. They have found nut that the honest masses of the penj-lw from the mountains to th ea w-re ! intrusted when it became p' un that ilw Rarsom machine, Cleyeiandites, Mi Kinley Democrats and railroad attorneys had captured the Democratic State Con vention. They have found out that the honest masses were still further dumbfounded and disgusted when Secret Circular Simmons was put up for State Chairman. Ilenoe these hypocrites and traitors are now using more hypocrisy and organizing Vance clubs and pretending that'they love Vance in order to fool the honest masses who have determined to re pudiate this gang with tbeir ballots in November. This gang of traitors try to fool the people in order to get themselves elected, and then when they get elected they fool the people by be traying tbem. Ransom and Simmons have fooled the people once. They will not fool them again. The war with Spain has cost over five hundred million dollars. This is three times what every foot of land in North Carolina is worth. As vast as this sum is, it could have been paid by the rich people and those drawing large incomes, through an income tax, without it being any more burden to them than a tax of five cents would be to the average man. But to-day, instead of the tax being paid by those able to pay it, we are burdened with stamp taxes on every note and every deed and every bottle of medicine, and every conceivable way to annoy peo ple generally, and to put the burden pon the masses of the people. The extra tax put on beer and tobacso and other things used by the poorer peo ple was intended to fasten the uurden of this war upon those leart able to pay. This would not be the case were it not that our government to-day is in the bands of the monopolies and trusts and goldbugs, who are greater enemies to the prosperity and welfare of our people than the whole Spanish nation combined. The interest of hu manity at home demands that these Spanish monopoly agents be driven from power, and the government put into the hands of the people. hor- and tnule.

The only thing to be regretted about the ex pease of over five hundred millions of dollars in so sacred a cause is tbat the struggling masses of this country, who themselves have been oppressed for a quarter of a century by thieving and tyrannous monopolies and trusts, more dangerous to our liberties and prosperity than allSpainardscombined, announced that the speaking would A SAMTLK FALSEHOOD. After the much advertised "Grand Democratic Rallies" on August 3d, the goldbug and monopoly Democratic papers, by bold exaggeration and downright falsehood, attempted to make the people of the State, at other places than where the meetings were held, believe tbat the people turned out in tremendous numbers and with great enthusiasm to greet their speak ers, and that at every place Populists aad- Republicans declared their con version to that kind of Democracy which has the Cleveland and Southern Railroad brand on it. The information that is coming in shows that a majority of their meet ings were anything but what they describe them. At many of the places their meetings were complete fizzles. Ibe following communication from Kenansville, which was published in our news columns last week, gives the exact facts as to the great Democratic rally at that place. It is as follows : "Kenaksvillk, N. C, Aug. 6, 1S98. "Ibe Democrats had speaking here on Tuesday, and the special dispatch in the News and Observer states that it was the largest and most enthusias tic rally, 'with one exception, accord ingtoau old citizen of Duplin. tbat uasever oeeL neiu in uupiin county.

This is impracticable, if be wants to publish them, because there are not papers enough, and not any tbat are big enough, to contain the list. The fol lowing is a specimen of their lies, ut tered every day; it is from the Wil mington and Weldon Railroad Mes senger : "It is a lamentable, most disgraceful fact, staring in the eyes of every white man in North Carolina, that the Insti tution for the Blind at Raleigh is cow under the control of negroes, the superviceable allies of the black radi cal gang. How long? Uow longf " Now, tbere is not a single negro on the Board of Directors of this institu tion, and tbere is not a single negro who has any connection whatever with the White Institution for the Blind except, perhaps, some that may be en gaged in some menial service about the premises. Possibly there may be some who cut wood in the yard, or who have something to do with the cooking or cleaning. A DEMOCRATIC DEFAULTER. State Treasurer Worth Monday se cured judgment against Sheriff J. P. Teague (Democrat), of Swain count ji and his bondsmen for the amount of State taxes for the year 1897. Sheriff Teague made an assignment and had not settled with the Treasurer for last year' taxes, which amounted to f2.317.74. The Democratic press has been very careful to omit the political affiliations of Sheriff Teague ; also, how the county commissioners of Swain, refusing to accept the bond of the fusion sheriff elected, and selected Mr. Teague be cause he was a Democrat and would make a model officer. Nor do they note the fact tbat Sheriff Teague failea in business because of drink and is even now at a Keeley Institute for the treatment of alcoholism. The Cau casian has been informed that the Sheriff has the companion ship'of the Clerk of the Court of bis county, who also needed treatment for the same disease. And yet only goodness and competency existed in the Democratic party. Th Caucasian does not print these facts to rejoice in the downfall ot these men, but more.to call the at tention of the Democratic press to the fact that mistakes may be made in the selections of jffloials of whatever party. xne Mate department at Washing ton Monday night received a dispatch irom uonsul Wildman stating that Dewey had bombarded Manila Satur day and the city surrendered.

Even now it is endeavoring to secure legislative indorsement of the policy of paying all coin obligations in gold. It pre tends to be much concerned about national honor and the public credit. The leaders of the party know that debtor, whether a public debtor or a private debtor, meets all the require ments of the law, moral as well as statutory, when he discharges his obligation according to the terms of the contract. They know that all through the war the government, and private debtors as well, paid coin ob ligations in gold, although gold was worth three cents on the dollar less than Silver. And yet, these leaders would accuse Abraham Lincoln of dishonor rather than incur the dis- 1 - a. a Vi a a a pleasure oi me w an street mag nates, who now control the financial policy of the Republican party.
