If it was thought, however, that the ratification of lh treaty would necearilj and inevit ably commit u to a colonial policy, it would stand no chance of ratification. There are a number of .Senator who will vote against the. treaty. They call attention to the fact thai we ought to gt Spain out of the equation by ratifying the treaty, and then proceed to determine for ourselves what policy we will pursue. They call attention also to the fact that the treaty in it very language say that toe future policy of the govern infiit toward the 1'hilippine bland hall be determined by Congrei-M. They also call attention to the fni;t that every person who ha spoken for trie admiriirttration ban de nied that there was any intention of pursuing a colonial policy. They aUo call attention.to the fact that the peo ple of the United States in the next national campaign will pa-t upon the fjijeMtion or policy which will undoubt edly be an irtnue, and elect a l'rehident and a Congress to carry out their wish es. TheHe Senators, however, regret that the wording of the treaty in many respect and especially regret that the name language In reference to the 1'hilippinen was not used a wai u rtfd in reference tt Cuba.

As our readers and the whole coun try know, Chicago, like mony other cities, has reaped bitter experience from following the old party principle of allowing private individuals to owu and control nublic inorioiiolie-. A few days ago the Monticello Club, the lead ing Democratic- club of Chicago, met and parsed the following resolution: Kesolved, ISy the members of the Monticello club here assembled, that we are hearlily and unreservedly in favor of the municipal ownership of all street railways and means of in tramural transportation at the earliest possible moment and without any re newal or extension of existing fran chises. Thus we see that those who a few years and even a few months ago de nounced l'opulist principles a wild, crazy, impractical, and paternalsic have now learned from bitter experi ence that tliev are the only safety for the common we'fare, Kaon day in every quarter of the country more and more citizens are realizing the fact that the People's party principles are simply the principles of good govern inent represented by JelFersonian Democracy and Lincoln Kepublicon ism, which principles were defeated by the two old parties when they went into co-partnership with the monopolies. tlOOl IiO.WlS KATIIl.U THAN STATE KAKMS. The penitentiary and especially the State farms is one of the biggest ques- .ions, apart from eliminating the ne gro from politics as the Democrats promised, the present legislature will have to tackle. It never has given satisfaction, except to the bosses who run it. The taxpayers should be protected in two ways, less taxes and not allow State labor to come in con tact with free labor. This is a big question. Under the above heading the Charlotte Observer says An observant and Intelligent farmer of Mecklenburg who does not talk much, but who always says something when he does talk, suggests to the Ob server that the State farm problem is one which is after all quite easy of so lution. His idea is to abolish the State farms and to hire out the convicts to the various counties and put them to work at building good roads. Tbe suggestion is worthy of consideration Experience has proved that the State farm is not a desirable institution. It is au unprofitable investment for the State and a burden to the taxpayers It touches the farmers' pocket-book in another way, for it brings him into competition with convict labor. The Observer has information that the farmers of Anson county have suffered sorely by reason of the competition wmcn tney nave met in the wades boro market with the products of the State farm near that place. The vol ume of this competition is in the ratio of ill) wagons of convict products to one wagon of the Anson county farm er, who with his little store, has to dis pose of it in comnetion with convict labor prices. Thus the State farm there not only fails to advantage the State, nut wonts a positive evil to the farm ing community . This alone would seem sufficient to justify the abolishment of the State farm, but when by such action an un desirable institution would not only be done away with, but every county that wants good roads could at the same time be given them, the argu ment is immensely strengthened. The only question is, would the counties call for the convicts? Undoubtedly they would take all the State could furnish, juding by the demands made oy inuividual counties during the past two years. The demand for road- workers is bound to increase with the growth of the good roads sentiment, and that is spreading over the State at a rapid rate. The State, by hiring out the convicts to the counties, would not only get rid of the running expenses oi me arate rarms, but would be re lieved of the exoenseof feedinv. cloth ing and guarding the convicts, while sue people would be the gainers in proportion to tbe number of miles of good roads constructed each rear. On the proposition that good roads are more desirable than State farms, we suorais mis matter to theconiidera tionof the legislature, believing that. it. lurnisnes tne iounaation for some wise and beneficial legislation. Foolifun vs. ratrlotlsm. For the Caucasian. Col. Waddell's speech in the capitol tonight before the old Confederate vet erans of North Carolina, smacked more of fool-ism than it did of either Chris tianity or patriotism! Oao. E.

TV Pres ident ha not ben able t li.je up all of the member of bia own pr y upon thit moostroua proposition to increase the atanding army to one hundred thousand men, which will make an an nual rout to the tax payer of $100 (W. The plea that thi rntny midiers are needed on account of our new for eign acquisitions is not only known to be withont foundation, but is proving to be a boomerang. The reply is made by many that if we most keep such a standing army a this to hold these posnessious then we do not want them. IJeside. it is known to every bout w "O cares to know, that t he r-al purpose behind this denire fur a tremendous standing army is not the need for them in the l'hilli pinee, but for the use of monopolist at home, who think ttiey will soon need a big landing army to force the public into allowing monopolies and trusts to continue to bleed them. If the monopolists will take cur advice we will say to them they are a great deal safer.without the existence of a standing army than they would be with it. Now, as for the necessity for an army in the I'nil- lipines, we do not need any increase in our regular standing army for that purpose unlem we intend to go per manently in the colanial policy, which everybody denies. If we are simply to hold these islands until they are capable of self-government, as we are holding Cuba, then let Congren pro vide for a temporary increase of the army to lant, for only, say two or three years. I.VtKV VOlKItMllOl LU ICKADir. There is no feature of Tub Cauca sus that is more highly appreciated by its readers than the review of the legislative proceedings written each week by Mr. J. F. Click. The manage ment of Tint Caucasian wiehes to congratulate its readers upon its suc cess in secunug the services ;f Mr. Click to do this important work. There is no one in the Sfate who could do it. better. Every voter in the State ought to read this weekly review of the leg inlature, and every l'opulist in the State ought to exert every effort to get Thk Caucasian into she handsel as many voters as possible. In order to help our friends to mcreiv-e the circulation of the paper, until the leg islature adjourns we will continue to oiler a club of six subscribers for one year for five dollars. The Heaufort Herald trie hard to go for Thk Caucasian for saying ls acc Smith, the colored representative from Craven, had joined the Demo crats. The Herald indicates that it is not true. "We refer the Herald to the Charlotte News and other Democratic papers that keep up with the proces sion. The Herald denies that the Dem ocrts are responsible for Smith's elec tion. Then why did they not go to him and compel him to come down like they did white men ? The truth is, they wanted him to run so they could make capital out of it. Then why did they not turn him down as they said they would when they got here and organized. The truth is, Smith was too smart for them. He went over and fused with them, and in the divide of spoils they decided to let him remain. Since that time, since they have found out they can get up a fusion with the negroes, they are hav ing a bard time getting up the consti tutional amendment to eliminate the negro from politics. Even the Herald, since Smith has gone to its party, can put its hands to its nose and taj, "though black," Smith smells better than poor white men who won't vote or fuse with the Democrats. The News and Observer, in an edi torial on the constitutional amend ment, in speaking of tbe ''poll tax feature" says : It is so hedged about as to prevent its becoming a source of expense to candidates. It might not be unwise for the General Assembly at this ses sion or the next to enact a law mak ing it uuiawiul tor one man to pay another's poll tax. lhen you notice that the Observer says this or the next session should pass a law "making it unlawful for one man to pay another's poll tax." A good suggestion. But why wait for the next session? Let it be dor.e now. with a heavy penalty attached. When tbe legislature convened and for the first two weeks, much was said about the bill to repeal tbe license tax on horse drovers coming into the State It was charged that it was one of the foolish laws enacted by the fusionisls and must be repealed at ouee. Where is that bill now? Somehow these law yers who compose the General As sembly, must have gotten a grape vine telegram from the rural disiricts sent by thousands of farmers whorai horses. This kuocked the bill into tbe middle of the next "session," and hck ed the mouths of the calamity howlers so tight till they can't say "pudding." In Cabarrus county, on Jan. 24th n Virginia tobacco peddler assaulted with intent to rape, a married lady This is awful I What I A white man assault a white lady right here under a white government in broad open daylight! Why, its awful I Demo cratic papers ought to send out car toons and cry -'white man's govern ment" Our Democratic friends prom ised that such crimes would cease i they got in, and that white women would be safe. They charged that such was the result of fusion rule. If it was then what is it now? Result o white rule? Dou't all speak attince. iu cuanging tne law so as to get Capt. Bill Day and others out of the T a ? - penitentiary, the patriots failed to in 8ert a clause granting a pardon to Mrs. Viola Mendoza. This was a sad oversIght? especially since it has been demonstrated that Governor Russell is too hard-hearted to yield to a petition to pardon her. They should pass a law at once, compelling the Governor to pardon out of the penitentiary any pretty woman who is so bewitching as to receive flowers, or candies, or clothing, or money, or anything from North Carolina Representatives and Senators. Why did not the patrioti in the leg islature turn oat Senator Franks? FROM FOOT TO KNEE Ohia Woman Stfffere'i Great Agon From a Terribi Sore-Ker Story c the Case, end Her Curt.

On last Saturday Senator Butler pre sented to the Senate the resolution passed by the General Assembly of North Carolina favoring a constitu tional amendment providing for the election of Senators by the people. He urged the Senate to take speedy ac tion on a bill or a joint resolution now before it providing for the very amend ment the North Carolina legislature declared for. He called attention to the fact that twenty five states have already petitioned Congress to submit such an amendment. He also briefly called attention to the many scandals, to charges of bribery, to dead locks in many States that are now trying to elect Senators. He said that the orig inal purpose of having Senator elec ted by the legislatures had long since een defeated and that it was now nec essary to adopt this amendment to re ive the spirit of the Constitution. THK PENSION Ol KSTION. In another column we reproduce from the Washington Evening Star its report on Senator Butler's speech in upport of his amendment to the Pen sion Appropriation bill. Commenting editorially upon the speech, the Star says : "senator Butler of North Carolina is an eloquent speaker, but he is several lays behind the tropic of the hour." The Star also thinks that when any one denounces the demonetization of silver in 1873 that he is also speaking several laps behind tbe time. It is never too late to do right and the fact that the Confederate soldier has been discriminated against for thirtyfour years is no reason why he should con tinue to be discriminated against in any respect. The Court Martial called by the President to try General Eagan has finished its work and rendered a ver diet of guilty. Of course it is in the President's power to mitigate the sentence, but if he does not the result will be General Eagan's dismissal from the army. In view of the outrageou and unwarranted language used by General Eagan, it is thought by many that the President will not be able to mitigate the sentence, but if he should t is probabl that it will be to the effect that General Eagan will be re lieved from duty to stay relieved from duty until by age be goes on there tired list. But if so slight a punish ment as this should be meted out for such a grave offence, the future ad ministrations will have this ghot to rise and haunt them when some minor officer of the army commits a similar or as grave an offence.

Ii's dispe-ti-. you know. They soon have turned out all the Popu'iats atd Republicans Senator atd Itepr-s?t't!tives against whom they could find nnd create sumciet evidencts. And such straicicg of justice baa never been witnessed be fore. Ii s Uoq m order, not tha' they may b able to carry out their hellish purposes, but to satiate the hungry for pi of some party pets.

They decided it would be better to pay the actual expenses f all contested electiou cases. The other is that of I.-aac Stmt);, the? colored Kepresfiits.'ive frcin Craven.

This whs too good. They nbondoned thtn purposes to turn him out. Th' y rather preferred to retain him as h nucleous around and out cf which to grow another Democratic tail. do not think Smith "jined"' tb Democratic urty, th party "j nt c" Smith. And Ob, how procd they ar of him' A gentleman was in the other daj and Fpoke a parable. lie fcaid the Democratic party in the State i dominated over and coutrolled b the Br Association. A peep at thi General Assembly tends to sub stanciate this declaration. The law yers do cot oniy outnumber all other classes but tiny run it. We have no fight to make against lawyers as a class, but do insist that a varty can not be a party of, by and for the people when all the people are not properly and proportionately repre sented. There is no denying the fact that in tbe conventions and log isJative hall, the Democratic party is conti oiled by the legal fraternity. A Democratic Representative, a farmer, admitted to us, that the masses were not represented in this General Assembly. Hence, what ever good is done or bad done, will be due more to a class or profession than to the masses of any party, only as they willingly submit to. and en dorse such, by keeping iu office this class. This is so in national leg islation especial. 5fet, when all admit that the laws are wanting and are not what thty should be and do not give proper justice and relief; and after years of practice, this class seems to insist that it alone knows wiiat the people netd, and it alon knows bow to give it. This is pre sumption of the lowest type, and the man who will be duped by it, needs it and should not ctmplam. Tho law takisg control of the penitentiary is as revolutionary as ttie taking control of the Enrolling clerk's offi.'O by the the lusianists two year? ago. Then it was charged that it was a pia grab. If that was, this is, as they arc, in many respects, identical. Tois is done not to save money, but to dish out pie. And the turning out of Cart. Day, is very much like thG turning out o! A L. Swinson Swiuson, it was charged was turned ou1: to give two men a job. To get Captain Day our, gave 12 men a i )b. with three of whom to do the work that Day and his clerk did. Of course, thev are not eroiner to pay or even three honest Dem ocrats, less than they themselves usd to pay two. We aon't know how it will be with the Captain. He is not yet decided whether they are doing a legal act or not. If he takts a notion, he will give them some trouble, equal to, if not worse than some claim ihe Gen eral Assembly is giving Govenor Russell in the Wilson's case. There is something strange about the bills forbidding corporations from moving trials to Federal courts. When Hairston introduced his bill, the corporations jumped it. And when ho amended it, it did not quite suit them. It was too muuh like the Populist bill. But Mr. Craig got up a bill in the House. It purported to d the samf5 thing the Hairston bill did. Lut there is a mat rial uiffiir euce in them.

THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS-BREAK UP ABRUPTLY. Confederate Veterans met here last week. Some from nearly all parts of the State. The number present was not near so large as the impression obtained Irom the papers It was wonderful how the wculd-be- leaddrs worked to make them feel and tbiuk on certain lines. ' Any ordinary observer could not help but see politics in it all' remarked an old soldier. From the way they were spoken of in the press and too in the mestmgs by the speakers, one would think that every man of them in ev ery way, and under all circumstan ces, would stand back gratnitonsly grant everything to a Confederate soldier. But much of this is not true. It depends alltoge:her who and where he is, whether he is pre ferted above every other mm or bey or not. M my of these papers which talk tho loudest, supported 'ovsand men without any war r ord against one armed and one-legged soHi- rs in the last campaign. And even iu their own party, they do not hIwhas like the old soldier the bes'. IV re ! were several mai imed soldiers b, re for jobs. Of course , theyhnd hi en ltd! to D8lieve they w uld got all the jobs to be given away. Hat n'. w t one in ten got such a j b. S ime able bodied party worker was pre ferred to the old soldier. Thf y wtre her"( without the means So stay loog, it while h re to have the comforts their more favortd brethren could tDj y. let the leaders and politi cians who did the speakieg had the audacity to say the old soldiers bad comfortaba homes ard did not need pensions etc. They handled tho pen sion matter very ingeniously. This is the way it has b tn done every where, and hence, the impression had gone out that they wt-re opposed to and did net need pensions. The leaders wrote some resolutions thanking McKiuley for his kir.d words and thaking the 'No thtr ia dies for the care they were taking of tne uonr derate g aves in the North. iiven this did not suit some bot heds This was on Wtninesdav night in representatives hall. Wad dell, of Wilmington, was called up on. Here tne war began. He pro fesses to have too much of the war spirit in him. lie raised a row and the meeting broke up very abrnptly, at the disqust ot all present. Many 0f the soldiers were pained. We cant give what was said atd done. We quote from the Observer nil it sjiid on this line. It did not give a fall report. If Populist speakers bad so spoken and the chir could not get order and the meeting had broken just as this did, the Observer wor.l t have - riticised it htavily. The 1- ad ers and not the old soldiers of the country did it. Htr is what tbe Ooserver said about the wrangle: Calls were made for Col A. M. Waddell, who came forward and very eloquently ad dressed tbe meeting: ' I underatand that the object of the meet ing ia for the purpose of securing some leg islation regarding the pensions of the fon lederate soidiers of the State and for addi tional appropriation for the Home, and I am here to add my mite to accomplish that purpose." 8peaking of the utterances of President Mckinley relative to caring for the graves vuuiouciaira, ue nam ne was Opposed Ttil 3 utu wuxae uemg carried out 'These graves have been cared for for thir ty years without assistance of the govern ment and tnev should remain so. The graves should remain in the hands of the ooumern women. "I am opposed to the pensioning of Con lejerate soldiers by the U. ited States. The vyonieaerate veterans do not come as men dicants any more than they con e as mis creants" Thejbill he denominated as a oiece of demagogury. We have got along for thirty a ve years without such aid, and there are not many more years for us, there fore let us get along peacefully and not take me uuoibiuu ui uieaaicauia.

The idea, of h white uian ia a white man's lrgia la ure, introducing such a biack bill! It ful!y corobt-rates what Dr. Kilgo sdiJ: ''The average woman can be led any where with a diamond ring." It also coroberates what Joseph Uamels said a) ullows: ''She had grown up into a handsome young woman with many admirers farm ers sons from tbe neighborhood who fell in ;ove with her red cheecks, pretty ways and mischievous eves: inst sixteen vears of ace sne wss. ana not a prettier girl in an 1'emlico county. In her were combined the ireshuess and bloom of girlhood with the charm and grace of womanhood." "Soon (he grew accustomed to the ne- groe'a presence, and later, as her father was away lor days and weeks. Bessie began to welcome tbe presence of the negro, and look upon him as a protector. Then some thing happened. It is uaeless to say that it is tne oiu story ol a weak woman tempted.' More than that: The p urate bay ing '"or any nogro mm and white woman fchall lewdly'' etc., corober ates what tbe negro editor Manly said as follows: ' Poor white men are careless in the mat ter of protecting their women, especially on farms. Thev are naralem nhniit their mn. duct toward them, and our experience among poor white people in the country teaches us that the women of that race are not any more particular in the matter of clandestine meetings with celoted men than are the white men with colored wo- u en. Meetings of this kind go on for some time until ihe woman's infatuation or the man s boldness brings attention to them ana tne man is lyncnea for rape." That bill certainly is intended to correct and prevent the crimes charged by these three gentlemen Now those who believe that l)r Kilgo, Daniels and Manly slandered the white women of Noith Carolina shoq Id wait ou Mr, V inston and or der him to withdraw that bill at once If there is sufficient cause for such a bul, then thousands of pejnle owe these three doctors an apologv: and mayor waaaen snould replace edi tor Manly's offije and put him to is suing some more Democratic cam paign thunder. These sayings o these eminent doctors of natural. philosophy, loilowed by such a bil urawa oy me organiz -r ol tn a White W oman's L. ague, is a greater slad er to the State than the Fred Doug las resolution of i895, if possible.

BO YEAR8 y vEXPERIENCE Catarrh Leads to Conisumptiom. A Forerunner of the Most Fatal Disease. Though ita offeusive feature are aometimeg almost unbearable, few people are aware of the danger of which Catarrh is the forerun ner. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption. Growing wore and worse each winter, those who rely upon the usual treatment of sprays, washes and inhaling mix tures find that it is impossible to check the disease with these local applications which only reach the surface. The offensive discharge increases all the while, causine a feeling of personal defilement, and gets deeper and deeper until it ia only a question of a short time until the lungs are affected. The importance of the proper treatment cau therefore be readily appreciated. But no good what ever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and never will.
