The Gazette, a Democratic daily published at Asbeville, N. C sounds a note of warning which must find response in the heart of every law abiding citizen of the State. Referring to the avowed plan of the Democratic leaders to carry the Constitutional Amendment whether or no, the (iazette sajr: "Chairman Simmons is sending out a hnndred thousand papers, and much that breaths the spirit of '93. The effort is to arraign racial pre judice. The Gazette, if it stands alone, will stand in opposition to another such a campaign in this State. It is not the negroes bnt a few politicians who need to be sup pressed. We need freedom from agitation. Those in favor of good order in this Htate will not give in creased powers to those who for their own selfish ends will burl the State into disorder.' The Gazette voices the sentiments of the great majority of the citizens of North Carolina in thus deploring the methods of the Democrat ma chine in the last campaign, and its present planning to revive a reign of anarchy and terror in the next cam paign similar to the last one. North Carolina will for a long time feel the evil effects of it both in relation to society and business progress of the State. Nothing has happened for years that has had such a damaging effect upon the morals of the State and certainly enterprise has giv en us a wider berth than heretofore. And we believe the good citizens of the State will see to it that the hun gry office seekers in the Democratic party do not repeat their experiment of 1808. dreg r the Ur I pi J !Iv-r, an J eti: C0L0NIZ ATI01?

C, is call ing upou and advising the farmers along the route of the Southern to go into the trucking business, add mg that the facilities afforded by the Southern Railroad for placing the products into the best markets of the North are all that the produ cers could ask. Ih:s solicitude for the interests of the f aimer is commendable enough, provided the Southern Railway wil in addition to its excellent facilitiee for placing the products in North ern maikets be lenient enough to al low him a fair share of the profit o his toil instead of appropriating the greater part to itself by means of ex cetsive transporation rates. a a m au iaimers are interested in freight rates, whether they have to deal directly with railroad compa nies or not, for if they Bell at home It must be at a price less freight, to ultimate point of shipment. But to trutkers who are directly depend ent upon railroads the question of rates is one of immediate concern; aid the Southern Field will find that the farmer aloig the line of th Southern is as much interested in knowing whether if he takes its ad vice and goes into the trucking bus iness he does so for the benefit cf the Southern as the truckers east have been doing for the A. C. L. as he is in knowing about the excellent facilities for transporting the pro ducts. In the last issue of the Caucasian we called attention to an editorial in the Atlanta Constitution which ex pressed the fear that if the next Wo clip the following from a dis patch from Atlanta: Col. W. A. Hemphill, who has been classed s a so'utd-money Dem ocrat, said: "We do not want to ran anybody away from the party, but the Democrats will not waste any time on nor make any concessions to the few remaining Populists." Certainly Col. Hemphill, who is classed as a "sound money Demo crat" is opposed not only to the Pop ulist platform, but also to the Chi cago platform, and it is no wonder that he is anxious that the "Demo- ocrats will not waste any time on Populists. We have no doubt that Col. Hemphill felt If he did not say it that the Democratic party should waste no time on the reform issues for which the party fought in 1896 But these gcldbugs in the Demo- Democratic Convention shoula ig nore the Chicago platform or follow cratic party must fight under cover the advice of men like Senator Mor- until they are absolutely in control fr'KKK lttlt.YL IltXIVfcKY. The idea of establishing a system of free rural mail delivery can be said to be a Populist one entirely. It was a Populist Congressman who a few years ago secured the first ap propriation of fifty thousand dollars to be applied by the Postmaster General in making experiments as to the feasibility of free rural mail delivery; and it was a Populist Senator who later got the appropri ation largely increased so as to make the experiment a more thorough one All of the Postmasters-General since the experiments began have recom mended in favor of the free delivery plan, and Mr. Heath the present Assistant-rostmaster General is very entnusiastie over it. lie says the popularity of free rural delivery is rapidly growing; and is convinced , that it will be beneficial not only to tne farmers who ot course receive the primary benefit but also to the country merchant. The farmers of the country should insist upon this free rural delivery system as it is as much due them as city delivery is to the city man. The American Farmer of Indian apolis a Journal devoted to the in terest of the farmer, thus briefly sums up the advantage that would accrue to the farmer from the opera tion of such a system : Farmers everywhere should unite in demanding rural free mail delivery and in urging their Congressmen to make the needed appropriation. Nothing will tend more to add to the eiijoyment as well as business faci iities in country communities than this improvement which will bring them in constant touch with the outside world, besides saving the de lay and trouble of going or sending to town for the mail. When rural ' free delivery telephone systems and the electrical improvements become common throughout country the farmers will be "right in it" with their eitj brethren and we shall hear gan and give it only a half-hearted support, that the great mtj iity of the lank and file Democrats who re ally believe in the principles of the People's Party platform as well as cf the Chicago platform would go in to the People's Party. The Constitution's editorial clear ly indicated that if it were not for the People's Party the Democratic party, as an organization would de sert the reform issues which it ad vocated in the, last campaign. The Richmond Times, a gold stan dard Democratic paper, which of course is anxious for the Democratic party to reverse its position in the last campaign takes issue with the Con stitution in a way that bears out onr interpretation of the Constitution's editorial that the People's Party isthe only safeguard of the rank and file Democrats against their party backsliding from their demands of 18. Referring to this Constitution editorial the Times sayt: The Atlanta Constitution says that for the Democratic party to fail to reaflhm the Chicago olatform of 1896 would be to revive Populism in the South, to restore its vitality, and to drive into its ranks many crenrane Democrats who have a higher re gard for their convictions than they have for the spoils of victory. lhis is a pitiful confession. We have always contended that the Chi cago platform was a sop thrown to opulism, the object btang to retire the Populist organization ard to bring into the ranks of the Demo cratic party the whole body of the opuliBtic voters. The Constitution confesses as much in the words which we have quoted. But apart from all the principles involved, we do not believe that it is good policy for the Democratic par ty to pursue any such course. True, the Populists did unite with the Dem ocrats in 1896, but their leaders have time and again said that it was but the means to an end. That Poon- lists were not at all satisfied with the half-way measures incorporated in the Chicago platform, but accep ted them as the first step in the di rection of greater ropulistic achievements. The editor of the Louisville- Dis patch now makes bold the assertion that the fight htreafter in the Dem ocratic pnrty is to be betweon the conservatives who are disposed to g back to old-time Democratic princi ples and tne radical element led by Altgeld, who proposes that the party shall advance in Populism and come out for the initiative and referen dum, fiat money, and goverment con trol ot railroads and trusts. This is not the exact language of editor Stewart, but it is his meaning, if we are capable of interpreting his words. The Times editorial is no less a compliment to the People's Party than that of the Constitution when we take into consideration the fact that the Times, like the Charlotte Observer, is a gold standard paper, and like the Charlotte Observer, re gards and refers to the Democrats who believe in the Chicago platform for the sake of the principles enun ciated therein, as the "lawless" ele ment of the party, it is easy to see that the Times is also apprehensive Of the Populist or true democratic tendency of the Democrats who supported Bryan from 'princi ple and to which in the above quoted editorial it refers as "the radical el ement of the party." And again, the Times is correct when it says that the Popuiists uni ted with the Democrats in 1896 as a means to an end. That is to say, the Democratic' party having incorpora ted in its platform of 1896 some of the really democratic principles fox which the People's Parly contended of the party. And late history proves that where they have gotten, control they have set about repudiating the issues forced on them in 1896. And the sequel of their control will be that the reform element in the par ty that forced these issues upou them will come to the People's Par ty in order to get their demands.

This is that one question which has awakened the public mind, and tormented the public conscience, for more than a hundred years, and has been successively answered by 'he best and wisest men of each gen eration, but only to be silenced by the greed, and rancor, and infatua tion of the times in which they lived. Those whom we are accus tomed to look back to, as the foun ders and defenders of our free in stitutions, have declared with one voice, that tho salvation of this country was to be sought in the Deportation and Settlement be yond its borders, of the whole ne gro race. And that declaration so often repeated by them, I adopt as my own, premising, that in quoting their opinions, I have in some in stances found it necessary, for the sake of compression, to omit super fluous words, or to substitute equiv- olent terms, and some times to transpose them, but always so as to preserve the lull sense ana sub stance. Among the first to speak out up on this momentous subject, was Benjamin Franklin who, in 1789, as President of the Society for the Ab olition of Slavery in the State of Pennsylvania, had this to say Slavery is such a debasement of hu man nature, that its extirpation, if not performed with care, may open a source of serious evils, making free dom itself a misfortune to him who re ceives it, as well as prejudiced to soci ety. It is therefore to be hoped that, the instruction and control of the emancipated Blacks may become a branch of national police. Thomas Jefferson, although thir ty-seven years younger than Frank lin, preceded him in the agitation of this question.

But if it should be asked, Why not retain and incorpo rate the Blacks in the State i the an swer is eeprooted prejudices enter tained by the Whites; ten thousand Carolina has suffered no little at the recollections by the Blacks of the inju ries they have sustained; new provo cations; the real distinctions which Na ture has made; and many other cir cumstances will divide us into par ties, and produce convulsions, which will probably never end out in tne ex termination of tha one or the other raoe. The unfortunate difference of color, and perhaps of faculty, are pow- It used to be, you know, that Dem ocrats were not at all desirous of the offices of the State, or at least tho Democratic dailies tried to make it appear so. They were then only de sirous of "saving the State'' from the "horde of hungry office seekers'' in the Republican and Populist parties. And it was only necessary to read their columns to find out that all this "disgraceful scramble for office" would be done away with by return ing the Democratic party to power. To many who believed this campaign plaint and promise the following ed itorial brief in the News and Obser ver will seem to need a rather elab orate explanation: The Democratic party of North hands of aspirants for office. Every man has the right to aspire to office, but no man is justified in indulging his ambition to such an extent as to jeopard'ze the success of the party. The man who looks upon the Dem ocratic party as a "band wagon'' for him to jump on and ride into office bhould b9 made to feel that he has eaful obstacles to the emancipation of mistaken the business of the organi sation. The party is an organiza tion through which the people select their officers their servants and when evtr the servant becomes grea ter than the master his services should be dispensed with at once. The truth is that the State has never known a hungrier set of office seekers than was washed ashore by the Democratic tidal wave of the last campaign. We call attention, in another col umn, to article No. 2, from the pen of Captain B. B. Davis, in which he biings forward a wealth of quotation from Franklin and from Jtffurson, in support of his scheme for the De portation and Settlement of the Af rican race. These quotations are strikingly apposite, and are decisive of the question, as it was understood by the great thinkers, of a former generation. The reader must per ceive, by this time, to what conclu sion Qaptain Davis is towing him. And having laid a foundation broad enougi, and strong enough for his superstructure, he will hereafter speak more in his own person. We invite the thoughtful attention of our readers to what is to follow. The English Railroad Association is sending officials to this ' coun try to investigate the facts upon which the government bases the bill compelling the adoption of automatic car couplers with the ob ject in view to compel British rail roads to supply their rolling stock with the same device. They will learn upon investigation that where railroads have complied with this law that there has been a considerable decrease in number killed compared with previous yean; but they should also learn that our law can be improved upon by mak ing it more effective, or rather, by more rigidly enforcing it. We call attention to the action of history ' the Peoples Party Committee of Virginia, recently In session in Lynchburg, account of which we these people. Many who advocate it, while they wish to vindicate the lib erty of human nature, are anxious also to presume its dignity and beauty. Some of these embarrassed by the ques tion, What further is to be done with them? join themselves, in opposition, with those who are actuated by sordid avarice only. Emancipation with us, therefore, must be different from what it was with the Romans. With them it required but a single effort, for the slave when made free might mix with, without, staining, the blood of his master. But with us a second tttort is necessary. For when freed the Negro must be placed beyond the reach of mixture, And in a letter written while President of the United States, da ted November 24 1801, and address ed to James Monroe, then Govern or of Virginia, he says The West Indies offer a more prob able and practicable retreat for oui emancipated slaves, inhabited by a people of their own race and color; with climate congenial to their natur al constitution ; insulated from other descriptions of men ; nature seeros to have formed these islands to become the receptacle, of the Blacks that have been transplanted into this hemis phere. Africa would offer a last, and undoubted resort, if all others, tbatare more desirable, should fail us. And in a letter of instruction, of J uly 13 1802, to liufus King, then minister to the court Of ureat Brit ain, he writes Altiiough provision for the settle ment of emancipated negroes might, pernaps De attainable nearer Home than Africa, vet it isdesirable to expa tria'e some of them to the Colony ol sierra .Lieone, n circumstances, respect ing either themselves or ls, should make it more expedient. The object oi tnis letter, tnereiore, is to ask vou iiu nurei tutu uuuiereuue wiiu muse persons whose consent is necessary to give us permission, to send thither such of them as we have under con-' templ&tlon. And in his Autobiography writ ten in 1821, this profound and pro phetic statesman, referring to the failure in 1776, of himself and Pen dleton, Wythe, Mason and .Lee, to have incorporated, in the Revised Statutes of Virginia, a plan for the gradual liberation and coloniza tion of ihe negro race, uses the fol lowing language, in which are on ly too faithfully mirrored the sub sequent events of our own tragic tion between them. It is still in our power to direct the process of Eman cipation and Deportation, peaceably, and in such slow degree?, that the evil will wear off insensibly, and their pla ces with tqual step be Oiled up by free wbite laborers. If on the contrary, ft is left to trce itself, human nature must shudder at the prospect. We shall in vain look for an example in the Spanish deportation or deletion of the Moors. This precedent would fall far short of our case. And this wise old man, still cher ishing the dream of his youth to the end of his life, writes under date of Feb. 24 1824, to Gared Sparks, the biographer of both Washing ton and Franklin. In oolenizing tbe negroes, our ob ject should be to make restitution for tbe long course of injuries we have committed upon Africa, by returning to her a portion or Her children, and thereby introducing among her iborig- inees some of tbe blessings or civiliza tion and science ; and in the interest of our own character and safety to provide an asylum, in some other quarter of tbe world, to which we can, by de grees, send tbe whole of this popula tion from among us, and establish them under our patronage and pro tection, as a separate, free, and inde pendent people, in some country and climate friendly to human life and happiness. Such then, Mr. Editor, from youth to hoary age were the life-loug utterances of Thomas Jefferson up on this portentous theme. And in substantial accord with him were the voices of his mighty con temporaries, and of George Wash ington, who was, in so so many re- aspects of his character the greatest of them all. And if in treating this subject, I have not chosen to make the same use of his serene and benignant wisdom, it is not be cause his view of the question was not equally pronounced. With this difference only, that while he was just as eager as was Jefferson, to see our country rid of the burden, and the scandal, of the negro race, he seems to have thought that a separate abode for them could be found in our North Western Terri tory. But since that whole region has been appropiated to a better use, and is fully occupied, such a scheme is no longer admissible. Consenting myself, therefore .with what has ben quoted from Frank lin and Jefferson, I shall present in another paper, the counsel and warning of men of a later period, in respect to a problem, which has been fraught with nothing but past calamity, and is pregnant with no thing but future evil, until it will have him finally and forever solved R.
