When we consider that the army which we are awntohave in th' Phillipine Islands will be twice as argeas the whole standing army of the United States ever was prior to the last year or so, we can get an idea not only of the task we have before as in conquering the Fillipi nos, but also of how far removed is our present policy which necessitates large standing army from any thing which has heretofore confront ed the Republic. If we rely upon (len. Otis' dis patches we are ltd to believe that he holds the situation well in band; but occasionally a dispatch escapes the blue pencil and roaches us by the way of Hong Kong which tells of still greater difficulties before our troops than has yet been encoun tered. Mr. Root,' the new Secretary of War, is preparing to pnsh the war with more vigor than has been done heretofore. His policy is to furnish Qen. Otis with all the troops nece s sary to put a speedy end to tbe war. Such a consummation is devoutly wished for by all, for even those who The election of Judge Ja. C.

In accepting the nomination for Governor at the hands of this sec ond convention, Gov. Brown said : "It is to sustain your constitution, to Bustain vour laws and the dignity of Ktntncky citizenship; it is to in dicate tbo trtf dom of k'c.tions guar nntnt.1 tiv nur constitution, that I Kc-rrtit vour nomination to-night.

Prompted by my con science and my retard for the digni ty of Kentucky and American citi zenship, I retuso to support tne nom inees of the late so-Sailed Democrat ic contention'.7' Here is a fine example which North Carolinians will not fail to follow; and it teaches a lesson which the framers of our present election law would do well to learn: that political liberty is as dear as religious liber ty, and that Nrth Carolinians will no more submit to an abridgment of the one any more than they would of the otlier. WHY, TIIKV CIIANtiK. Croker is converted, or at least Croker Bays so. Before he sailed tor England some week's ago, he took pains to have it understood that he was an imperialist, and would oppose Bryan in I'JOO. A few days ago he returntd and gives it out that be is now an anti-impeiialist and for Bryan in 1900. Ol course this has set everybody to speculat ing as to what has caused Croker's Hop. Everybody admits there must be a cause. " The Charlotte Observer editorially appoves the following Washington Dispatch to the Philadelphia Record, giving it as its opinion also that this is more probably the cause than any thing else: " Probably Mr. Croker, like ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, and other men who are supporting Mr. Bryan unwillingly, believes ihat Mr. Bryan will be defeated in the election, but be may not consider this an unmixed evil, since the Democratic hope is for 1904, and by that time such Democratic leaders want Mr. Bryan eliminated. This may or may not be true with reference to Mr. Croker, but it is right in line with what the Caucasian has all along predicted that: gold Demo crats would oppose Bryan in Con vention unless there seemed no chance of his election and in that case they would support him- for nomination in order to eliminate him by defeat. And certainly this is what the Ob server would want done. are anxious for tbe bloodshed and disease incident to the war to cease, no matter what the resulting rela tion between the two countries may be. What would any citizen of North Carolina think had the last legisla ture passed a law liminnting rtlig ions liberty in th State and permit ting no worship except in a certain church! Would it nvt be consideted the greatest assumption of power 1 And yet this is exactly what the elec tion law of the last legislature does with reference to political liberty And certainly one is dear as tbe, oih er. The legislature passed this elec tion law with view to making it impossible for any, save the Demo cratic machine and its followers to ever have a voice in State govern ment. Think over this and see if yon nun figure it vat that this act o theirs is less high handed than it would be to pass a law miking the Church of England, or any other church the dominant one in North Carolina. Occasionally we see in the ol! par ty press editorials and articles which try to substantiate the statement which is generally used for tLe head ing of such articles, towil: The Passing of Populism. The wish is father to the thought. Never be fore, since the doctrines of the Pro ple's Party were first proclaimed, have they been so generally bdieved in as now. And it is not the pass ing of what they term populism that is causing the opponents of demo cratic principles to spend space and time in trying to prove their state ment so much as it is the alarm with which the increasing popularity of Populism" is filling in them. HOW "POPULISM IS PASSINF." We congratulate the Waynesyille Courier upon being ohe of the first Democratic papers to come out in favor of government ownership of railroads. In a recent editorial after citing the advantages accruing to the people of other countries which own their own railway systems (which we publish elsewhere) the Courier askr. Who that Is informed of these facts, that can be authenticated, would not favor government ownership? And then winds np with the fol lowing very sensible statement: Call It Popnlist doctrine if you want to, but it is good doctrine all the same and it is coming. If the railroads continue forming themselves into great grasping corporations and con tinue their policy of discrimination in rates and accommodations it will only bring about tbe result the quicker. The Courier is right. Th6 people will soon force the question of gov ernment ownership of railroads np- Kditor Caucasian. 1 At tho close of a communication in your last issue, I promised to give your readers, in this, a faith ful narration of the action of the Democratic party of North Carol i na, iu respect to Negro Colonization and of its very recent and emphat ic condemnation of it, so far as the same is known to the public, or to myself. To do this, I need only revert, to events that are fresh in the memo ry of men still living, and of a date not older than May 20 1895. I refer now to a Series of Resolution, for mulated by myself and embodying Jefferson's plan of Colonization, tha were fully tiiacussed in a meeting of the Democratic State Executiv Committee, held In the Hall of the House of Representatives on the niirht of that day. The day itself was not ill-chosen for the consider ation of such a subject, it being the occasion of unveiling our superb Monument to the Lort.ederate Dead. I should stalo that those Resolu tions, had been laid before the Com mittee on the 9th of April preced ing, but in order to give time for their fuller consideration, they were postponed, on my own motion, to the meeting that was to follow ; and that in the mean time, type written copies of them were mailed by me to more than forty members of that Committee, together with a personal letter to each of them, earnestly solioit.ingr his support. And in what, farther, I shall say ol the reception that was given, and of the fate that befell those Reso lutions, I shall violate no confi dence, since the greatest publicity was given them at the time, inas much as the doors of the Commit tee, on that particular night, were thrown open, to any one, who could show a certificate of belonging to the motley est political party, that was ever mustered under a single banner. It would require a pen far abler than mine, to do full justice to the personel, of so notable an assemb lage as that of May 20th 1895. Suf fice it to say, that it abounded in men, of mark and likelihood, who were fully commissioned to speak with authority. First of all, the ed Itors of the leaditg organs the Sir Oracles of the party were there. with the exception of It. M.

But grea ter far than this, than these, than i it... ti . nin:.u.. and tha aspiring uoebel of this af flicted btate and exercising with out assorting it, an ascendency over all, was one whose name, is lik unto no other Dame in North Caro- ina. and U none other than the name of riKMroLl) MACCLKNXAND SIMMONS. This is he, who has been described an a strange and mysterious being, with a stealthy tread, and a down cast look, but this description, protest, does him great injustice, for 1 can testify that, ortener than once, I have seen his eyes elevated n the direction of a seat in the U. S. Senate. These are some of thoa High Councillors who dominated th meeting of May 20 1895; and if 1 have taken the trouble to preserve their names, it is only because tht major part of them, together with others of only local celebrity, con stituted at that time, the Mechan ical Department of tho Democratic party, and some of them are still Its Master Machinists. Ana scarcely one of them has lost, since then, the smallest share of his influence in tho councils of his party, while all of them, with the single exception which I have noted, were either cold or hostile to any scheme of Negro Colonization. But to return to the Resolutions themselves. Their avowed object was to REORGANIZE the Demo cratic party, J n such a way as to make of It a new party, that should be, not merely in name but in fact, a White-Man's Party, and such as should be built not upon the im possible basis of White-Suffrage, or the fluctuating basis of Whlte-Of-flce-holding, but upon the granite foundation of White Labor, which is the only security for the other two. The first Resolution of the Series declared for the Deportation of the negro race, and all of them had that one end in view. And all of them, after the fullest debate, wero voted down by majorities so largw that no division wras called fcr. he sig-l niflcanoe'of such a vote amid all wie circumstances surrounding the case the party had just been dis astrously beaten could not be mis taken, and could only be under stood, as revealing a lixed pur pose to keep the negro forever among us, and to make ol mm, hereafter, as heretofore, a political stalking-horse, forgetting that such a thing might yet become a hippo- grifT that would carry its rider, over a rougher road, and upon a wilder chase than that of Mazeppa. And fully satisfied as 1 was, and am, that such was the invincible determination of this party of Fale JPreiUiice, there was nothing left for me to do, but "to acquiesce in the necessity which denounced our sep aration," and to withdraw from an association, to which 1 have since elt no inclination to return.

Now, if they had made their escape daring the days of "fusion incompe tency'' it would of course have been due to this incompetency; but how cription of the Eve of Waterloo they were able to effect escape un- hvithin a windowed niche of that high der Democratic management seems to us to be one of those mysteries which passeth all understanding. ... .

The real animus of their at tack is, however, that Judge Clark's speech was full of doctrine and facts that they and their backers would much rather keep from the people.

And there too, was the very pink of Newspaper uorrespondents, in tne person of F A. Olds, whom ; the envious, only, have some times compared to Gath or to Eli Perkins, but whose airiest creations have usually, turned out to do, only too true.

The anti Goebel Democrats met in con vention here this afternoon and unanimously nominated ex-Governor John Young Brown for governor. It was the largtst ' Democratic convpn- tion ever held in Kentucky, with one hundred counties represented by del egates, and others had sent word that tre bolting ticket would hna a hearty support. The resolutions adopted after de claring that the nominees of the Louisville convention were not the choice of the Democrats of Kentucky, that the nominations had been se cured by fraud, and therefore were not entitled to support, endorsed the Chicago platform and recognized Bryan as their leader and choice for the Presidential nomination in 1900 The Kentucky election law, of which Goebel, the regular Demo cratic nominee was the author, and after which the North Carolina elec tion law is modelled, has played no small part in arousinc such a. strong .sentiment against Goebel . in the Democratic party. Ex Gov. Brown in accepting the nomination said: ''It is to sustain your constitution, to sustain your laws and the dignity of Kentucky citizenship: it is to in dicate the freedom of elections guar anteed by our constitution, that accept your nomination to-night. consider it my duty to save my State if 1 can. from the impending degra dations that is proposed to . be put upon her. Prompted by my con science and my regard for the digni ty of Kentucky and American citi zenship, I retuseto support the nom inees of tile late so-called Democrat ic convention." x There is no doubt of the earnest ness of the men composing ihis con vention, all of whom are Democrats of life-long standiog to either force Goebel to retire, or stay in the light against bim to the finish.
