THE CAUCAGIAH Entered in Piwt (WW In Raleigh, N a wrond Ha mutter. V. PUBLISHED IVIKY THURSDAY T TBI CAOCASIA rCflLISHIMG CO SUBSCRIPTION RATES, !K TIAR. IX MONTHS '0 THREE MONTHS A MIIAlOSAIItHS fKOlMMHTlOS. On Friday of last week Andrew Car negie called upon President McKlnley and made a proposition to the Presi dent to the effect that he, Carnjfie, would out cf his own pocket pay twen ty million dollar to Spain forth free dom of the FilJipinos if President Mc Kinley would agree to use hia efforts to establish a free government on tboss islands, of, for and by the peo ple, similar to the American Republic. Every one knew that Andrew Car negie wat a very rich man, but this proposition of a Dingle Individual to draw bis check for twenty million dol lars to guarantee the freedom of a people of a different race, living on an island in the Pacific ten thousand miles from our shores, rttruck the pub lic with astonishment. Senators and Congressmen have already stood in the national halls of Congress and gravely discussed the magnitude of the sum of twenty million dollars that It Is proposed for this government to pay to Spain for the doubtful sover eignty of Spain over those inlands. It has been conitidered a large amount for even a great country like this to pay. Now here comes along one indi vidual out of 70,0(H,(M)0 who make up this government and proposes to pay that amount out of his own pocket as a matter of little concern. But when we stop toreller.t, why should not Mr. Carnegie spend twenty million dollars in this way if it please a passing fan - cy of his or if if promote a great in terest in which he believes, for he is worth between one hundred and two hundred million dollar, and after spending twenty million dollars for the liberty of the Fillipinns he will still have left such an immense fort une that it will he impossible for him to spend it or give it away unless h given it away in large enstalment. This proposition of a single individual to pay an amount which would seem large for the greatest and richest gov ernment In the world to pay alxo brings home pointedly the great eco nomic fact that while we have a greut and rich country nearly all of the rich es are owned by a few individuals while the great mass of the toilers arid wealth producers of this nation are in very meagre circumstances. Mr. Carnegie deserves great credit for his generosity and spirit of philan thropy, but this does not make it best for the country that a few individual, even if they are all like Mr. Carnegie, shold own such immense wealth. If every millionaire in America was the highest type of a patriot and of a Christian it would not justify the ru inous industrial system that makes it possible for a few thousand men to con centrate among themselves more than half of the wealth of this whole nation. Mr. Carnegie has made no small part - of his immense millions out of rail roads he owns, besides the Carnegie Steel Plant at Homestead which has been furnishing armor plate to the government for a number of years at an enormous prioe in spite of the proof that the government was paying twice as much for the armor plate as it was worth, year after year, Congress has refused to reduce the price. In spite of the fact that railroads are making immense profits on two or three times as much stock (watered) as their real capital invested, yet Congress refused to take any action. After all, does Congress represent the people or does it represent the few who own a majority of the wealth and are fast reaching out for the remain der. The people should elect a Cou gress that represents the interests of the majority and that will have the nerve, the courage, and the sense and the honesty to make such a radical change in our industrial system as will give to every one an equal oppor tunity in the struggle ot life and that will guarantee to him the fruits of bis own labor. The remedy to accomplish this is found in the Peoples party platform. Only partial or temporary remedies 1 are found in other platforms. HIG KAII.K04U IBOriTS. Tbe 12th annual report of tbe Inter state Commerce Commission, wbicb has jut been published, shows a sur prisingly large increase in railroad profits for tbe past year over preceding years. The report shows that tbe grots earnings of the railroads of tbe coun try for tbe past year were flJt38,523 X, while tbe operating-expenses aod fifed charges amounted to $811,211,438, leav ing net earnings $427,21,922. This shows an enormous profit. It it clear to the most ordinary mind that Con gress and tbe stare Legislatures should not permit tbe public to be taxed by these railroads, rates high enough to ram such enormous profits, when tbe products on which a majority of theee profits are made are yielding a bare profit and too often no profit to those who produce them. These enornous profits are beyond all reason even if they represented profits on real capital invested In these rsilroads, but it must be remembered that tbe capital stock of these roads has been watered to an amount two and three and four and five times the amount of the real rapi tal invested. In fact when the reports of a railroad company show that it is making six per cent profit on a million dollars capital it will be found upon investigation that tbe real capital of tbe road is in many cases only from two hundred to three hundred thou sand dollars and therefore the amount of profit made instead of being six per cent on a capital of a million dollars would be from twenty to thirty per cent profit on the real capital invts'ed That such a state of affairs exists right here in North Carolina was shown in the last issue of Thk Caucasian in the case of the Wilmington and Weldon. It is well known that the profits of the Southern Kvlroau are as largr or larger than the profits of tbe A . - L. In the face of these facta will the rail road lobby be able to prevent the pres ent legislature from reducing rates to a fair and equitable basis? How many railroad attorneys are in the present legislature, and will it be that these attorneys will prevent action without the as.'istance of the lobby?

Sometime ago General Miles, the head of t he Army, stated in an inter view that the beef and other provisions furnished to the army was of a poor quality and that many of the soldiers were made sick and the death of some caused thereby. Many other charges against the conduct of the War were made through the Public press from time to time until the President felt constrained to appoint a commission to investigate these charges. Among the many witnesses that were sum moned before this commission, now sitting in Washington, was General Miles himself. In his testimony he repeatod what he had previously stated in an inter view and gave further facts in detail showing the very inferior quality of the beef and other provisions furnish ed to soldiers through the Commissary Department. This so enraged General Eagan, who is at the head of the Com missary Department, that instead of attempting to disprove the serious charge made by General Miles he went before the Commission and dealt in a tirade of abuse and vilification that has never been surpassed or equalled befure in this country and probably not in any other. He denounced General Miles as a liar many times and used the coarsest and grossest kind of invective and denunciation His language was such as to not only outrage all public decency but to make him liable to be arrested and court martialed under the rules of the army. To say the least, the matter is a public scandal and a disgrace to tbe army and a disgrace to the country. What action the President and the War Department will take in this matter awaits to be seen. The present General Assembly will be called upon to appoint, or elect a code coiumission, to get out a new cooe. mere nas not been one since he presaent one was ratified in 1883 It is needed and, of course, it will be done this time. thk Caucasian nas received many congratulations on its last issue. Our readers are much pleased with the admirable review of the work of the legislature in its last issue. We will continue to give our readers not only an abstract of all the work of the legislature on the front page each week, but on the editorial page we will continue to review and write up all of tbe leading features of the Legisla ture as we did in the last issue. See that every one of your neighbors get and read the Caucasian. For the next thirty days our proposition holds good to send six copies of the Cauca sian one year for five dollar. A NEW DEMOCRATIC KKCKl IT. 1 lie Democratic negro calamity howling machine has gained an addi tional member of the legislature since tbe convening of that body. Tbe new acquisition is Isaac Smith, tbe colored member from Craven. When this ne gro member votes with the Democrats as he has on nearly every question from tbe election of their caucus nomi nees for office on down, the Democrats of the legislature applaud him, thus showing how proud they are of their new recruit. Not only this but the Democratic newspapers give their new colored member Smith a great deal of attention. A few days ago the News and Observer reported one of bis speeches in full to the extent of a col umn, giving him more attention than any other Democrat has received. We congratulate the Democrats upon their new recruit. In fact, however, tbe Democrats were entitled to him for they are responsible for his election in Craven county, In writing about tbe report of tbe "expert" committee to investigate the penitentiary. The Raleigh Post (Democrats) says : "Push investigation, go to tbe bot torn and expose all, "hew to tbe line, let the chips fall where tbey may but while this is going on, tbe current expenses should be promptly met. The report clearly shows that for years the books have been kept in such a way that no committee can teli bow it is, ana wnen, ana wnere the "in competency, if any, began, tence The Post, is right in saying "hew to the line," etc. The Raleigh Post, ( Dem,) says : Secretary Thompson nor his Demo cratic predecessors have "pocketed" any fees the law aid not expressly say ne or tney snouia pocKet.

The report has been boastingly her aided ail over tbe State by the Demo cratic press that the present General Assembly is composed of tbe wisest and most conservative representatives of the people ever assembled in Ral eige. Notwithstanding all this, the News and Observer, the self-constitu ted guardian of tbe people, thinks di f ferently. It thinks tbey do not know what to do; for every morning the Ob server dictates to them what they shall and shall not do.

DISPUTING OVER NEW JUDGES. The Democrats in caucus the oth tr night had quite a warm debate on the subject of increasing the judges to four more. Doubtless all wanted it, bat some thought it would be bad politics. Others claimed that what ever objections might arise, could doubtless be overcome by the good offices thus created. On this point, it was Kinder postponed, it is thought the judges will not bo crea ted. But will see. DISPUTING OVER A RAILROAD The Democrats had a little contest n their caucus the other night over tne candidate for tbe President over a certain railroad. The Newberne peo ple want it, and tbe Goldsboro people want it. "Go it boots; your daddy (the people) is rich." Capt. Kitchin is a candidate for In surance Commissioner that is. when such a place is provided. Only a do zen or so for it. But they are not "of fice seekers, pie hunter." Oh, no ! Auditor Ayer, in his report, sugges ted that his office did not have suffi cient help. The Morning Post rather agrees with him, while the News and Observer does not. The Observer has given the negroes to understand that its columns are closed against any more communica tions from them until next fall a year any way. How thankful some men are when others are forced to give them justice, forgetting much wrong done others for one little kindness done them. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in oacK and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying: 'Elec tric Bitters;' and to mv great joy and surprise, tb first bottle made a decid ed improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man i know tney saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents a bottle, at R. H.' Holliday & Son's drug store. Democratic Fairness Versus Fu-ion Partisanship. News and Observer. The Senate Committee on Privil eges and Elections voted unanimous ly yesterday afternoon in favor of Mr. Franks, Republican, retaining his seat from the 34th district, in the contest instituted by Mr. A. Cannon, who was the Democratic candidate. It is notorious that money was spent like water to defeat Mr. Cannon, and that uubought vote he would hare been elected. He made big gains in his own county, but the almost solid Indian vote plus the purchased vote gave Franks a majority. Mr. Cannon contended that the Indians were not legal voters since the late decisions of tbe United States Circuit Court. Th seating of Mr. Cannon would have put the man who was rally elected by the unpurchased vote of tbe State in the Senate, and if the com mittee hsd been disposed to b partisan rather than judicial, that course would have been pursued.. iiut, though Mr. Cannon would hav adorned the seat for he is one of the best men in North Carolina the Senate committee tried the case strictly upon the law and the evi dence and found for the Republican contetitee. It is believed they would have thrown out the Indian vote and seat ed Mr. Cannon had it not been for the fact the Indians voted for Con gressmen Crawford, and to have thrown them out wonld elect Con gressman Pearson. If the above be true and so far no one has denied it "Democratic Fairness" is fully explained. The News and Observer is anxious to know whether the sum tbe Fusion ists stole or squandered at the peni tentiary is over or under $100,000. Fun ny ay to put it. Let it be investiga ted bab for eight years. ALWAY6 KEEP OR HAND THERE IS BO KIMD OF PAIN OR .ACNE. IRTERRAL OR EXTERNAL.

Then they had a dispute what city or town should get the Presidency of a certain railrod. Goldsboro wanted it, and Newberne wanted it. This was quite sharp. Same Demo crats have said rather than see it go to Goldsboro, they would rather see the present President retained. NOT GERMAIN TO THE BILL. It is easy for the Democrats to get out of a hole. When the bouse was wanting Jim Young's name taken off the corner stone of the new white Deaf and Dumb building, to clear the State of such scandal, and they were about to take the vote, then Mr. Giles, of Chatham sent up an amendment providing that "tbe proper authorities be and are here by instructed to erace the name, of John G. Norwood, a colored m'-.n, from the corner-stones of any school houses in Wilmington. , xnis nuru tne Doys, they were caught in their own trap. Demo crats had put Norwood's name on the white school buildings in Wil mington, and it would be a re flee tion on white supremacy to inter fere with what they did. So Mr Brown, of Stanly raised the point of order, "that the amendment was foreign to the bill under consider tioD,'' ana his point was sustained. To show it is not the "merge r" these fellows hate so much, when some Re publican offered an amendment to take Jim's name off and leave the others, some Democrat intimated that "Jim's name was the most re spectable of the lot." A CONTRAST THAT DOESN T CONTRAST Th Lexington Dispatch seems to be off its wits. It seems to be ahead of the procession. About a week ago it came out in a contrast of this and the Legislature of '97. The only ditterenee discovered was that at this time two years ago, the fusionists were increasing clerks' and laborers' pay, while this one had al ready reduced the pay of all these 20 per cent. Now there is one of two things certain either the Dispatch does not know what it is talking about, or does not tell the whole truth, either of which renders it an worthy of confidence. When the Dispatch wrote, this legislature hsd not reduced the pay of clerks and la borers. The clerks received $5 per day till Saturday. Tne laborers, v several oi wnom Dtiag negroes against a Democratic caucus ruling still get $2 and $2 50 per dav. A hill was introduced and passed the House Saturday last, to cut the $250 laborer ZU per cent. This has not passed the Senate yet. So, in that respect, the dispatch was wrong While the legislature of '97 like this one will do did many things it ought not; yet we are of the opinion that it only paid clerks the salary al lowed them by a Democratic law, and the same pay that the Democrats having been giving for years. In regard to the many unnecessary offices the "fusionists" (f) created in '97, the present legislature has been too busy trying to repeal Democratic laws, and enacting laws allowing counties and cities - to levy special taxes and issue bonds, to abolish any of these worthless offices. Besides they are too eager to fill thf-m, and then don't have half enough. We wiil bet our steamboat against the Dispatch's interest in the Philippine islands, that the present legislature wnl create three offices to every one it abolishes of the worthless offices created in '97, and the Dispatch can hold the stakes. We say this because the same story has been used by all the local papers in the state.. NUMBERS OF PAGES, AC. Early in the present legislature tbe Democratic caucus of the Sen ate resolved that six pages wonld be sumcient for that body. The lm pression went abroad that they had done well. On Mondavi after one and a half weeks, it seems that there were twelve pages. They tried to find out how they came there, but the evidence was not forthcoming. Perhaps it will be explained in eau cus. It has also gone forth that no member or Senator wonld pat in his ooy as page, this seems to be a mistake, something they have not kept, especially by a certain membsr ot the House, and perhaps there are more. - - L s BORERS AND PAGES.

The bills to increase tbe jurisdiction of justices of tbe ace and rruuoe court nest oilis and thus lnebt the overburdened tax- 'payers, seem to get loet in the shut!!?, and oe pigeon-noiea in comjmtte. Atter reading tbe above in the Times-Visitor Monday night, a fel low remarked: "Well, does you ns think the lawyers what thinks tbey are specially cut out for judges and solicitors and what wants nitre judi cial districts, will sit still and let maybe some old magistrate Pop, or Radical, or even ! mocrat farmer be, between them and the p e coun ter and cut off their popsibilitL-t.? If so, yon'ns is phool. Tbey are too good at shuffling for that." TAKE OFF NORWOOD'S AND POT ON ADAM'S. We can't see why the Democrats refuse to remove tbe name of tht negro oh the school builiing in Wil mington. We have b en told that the rames on the corner-stone of tbe public school buildiug in Wilming ton include the nsines of the county board of education and also the names of the school committee ap pointed by the county board of edu cation. They are as follows: Coun ty board of education: H. A. Bragg, chairman; B. G. Worth, E. L.Pierc. School committeemen, J. II. Chad- bjurn, chairman- Samuel Northrop and J. fi. Norwood. The latter, Norwood, is a negro. They can't be consistent and not remove it, if the latter was put there by Democrats. They ought to wash tboir own linen too. If they can't find a suitable name for Norwood's, they should go back to the garden of Eden and rake up the name of Adam and place it on.

After endors ing the receDt edi'orial of tbe Post, the writer, one of the intelligent and thoughtful citizens as well as Dem ocrats of the State, says : " We are iu grave danger and at this point having pasted through so warm and exciting a contest, in which eur pn jadiies against the ne gro was so aroused and increased of enacting under the blinding effect of prejudice legislation that is not only lacking in the Christian and hu mane spirit, but that will be posi tively hurtful to us in the future. I can only contemplate with feelings of the gravest missgivmgs the con dition of the negro when he shall haye relapsed into a state of abjct ignorance, which in all probability will follow should the whites cease to aid him and K ave him to his own resources; for h is poor, too poor to educate himself. I have no sympa thy .with tbe cft-n beard-remark that education s bur ful to tbe ne gro: from my personal observation and experience. th edncated negro is the best citizen of that race. It does stem to me if there is any thing in the missionary idea that is abroad if it is not hollow pretense. a sham, hypocrisy, rot the negio ought to be Cnritiamzed, enlight ened, educated. For it does seem to me it is morn ibe ia.it cf wisdom to educate and Christianize one man with whom wo live and come in dai ly contact than to Christianize ten in a foreign c matry of whom we know nothing.'' fttm.

Many wowen sutler untold agory and misery because the nature of their disease s not correctly understood Tbey have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakuess of some sort is responsible for the many ills that bset womankind. ' Neuralgia, nervousness, headache. puffy or dark circles under tbe eyes, rheumatir-.m. a dragging pain or dull ache in the bick, weakness or bearing down sensatio' , profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, fre quent desire to pass it with scalding or burning setiHaiion, sediment in It after standing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of Kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms are often at tributed by tbe patient berself or by her physician to female weakness or womb troub'e. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treat ing, not the disease itself, but are- flection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great discovery of tbe eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is asy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar.

The most ofTensive of all dis eases becomes mure intense as cold weather approaches. Id fact. many who have been under treat ment for so long, and daring the summer feel little discomfort from the disease, are almost persuaded tfcat they hare been cured. But the first chilling blast of -winter proves that the disease is still with them, and as the winter advances, their Catarrh grows in severity. Those who have felt only a slight touch of Catarrh may be sure that only cold weather is needed to dee velup tte disease. YV hat appears to be only a bad cold will prove more difficult to cure than for merly, and will return with more frequency, until before long the disease is fully developed. "For years I suffered from a severe case of Catarrh, and took several kind of medicines and used various local ap plications, but they had no effect wbat ever. I was induced to try S. 8. 8. (Swift's 8peeiCc) and after two months I was perfectly well end have never felt any effects or the disease since. B. P. McAlxiiTXB, 'HarrodsDorg, Ky." Those who get a start on tba dis ease before the cold and disagree able weather aggravates it, will find a cure leas difficult. Catarrh increases in severity year by yr and becomes one of tbe most ob stinate and deep-seated troubles. But it' is equally important that the right remedy be given. All local applications ot prays, washes, inhalations, etc., can never cure Catarrh, for they do not reach the dis siN. Catarrh is in tba blood, and only a ' blood remedy can curt it. Local appli cationt only reach the irritated surface; tbe rigbt remedy must be taken internally. Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) U the rigbt remedy for Catarrh. It cures tbe most obstinate cases by going direct to tbe cause of tbs trouble tbe blood and forcing out tbe disease. Those who bavs met witb ao much disappointment from local treatment should throw aside their sprays, washes and in haling mixtures and take S. S. S. A cure will result.
