We tbank our friends throughout the State for the interest they are man if citing in the wotk Tex Cauca uk is doing. Every mail brings us kind words and new subscribers There is no reason why Thi Cauca kiah should not be a welcome visitor to every country home. It is due the caper, the people and the cause of trnth and justice that it shonld if its friends would give it tne snp ort it and their cause deserve by not only subscribing themselves bat getting their neighbors to take and read it, we would be enabled to make it more pointed and much more ef f active. Jnst give us the proper en coursgement, friends, and we wil do oar best to doubly pay yon with one of the best educational mediums in the State. Remember, friends, that Thi Caucasian will be just what you help to make it. We hare trnth and justice on onr banner and it is year as wf 11 as onr dnty to give it to others. It is onr moral dnty to do so. When we help the needy, we are engaged in the highest ee.ll lrg under heaven, ine great com mon masses need a paper which is in full sympathy and touch with them and their interest; and to this end, we rededicate Thi Caucasian, and in their defense against any and every foe, and whether it survives or perishes, Tek Caucasian will do so wih the consciousness of only having tried to do its duty. HOW IS IT, AST WAT? C la there a county in the State that now has twenty-five negro prat masters in it f This ia the report be ing scattered over the State. At least, we heard a traveling gentle man telling this, and making the impression that that waa his reason for wanting the amendment adopted. Be also said he waa very well pleased with the national government and ine great prosperity it nad gives. And he said he was a Democrat xmow u all this be true, we can't see how the amendment would help him, since the administration he en dorses appointed the alleged post masters. For if the amendment "elevates the educated negro and puts him on a higher plane socially and politically as the amendment ltes argue to the negro, then it se mi to us that Mr. McKinley or even Mr. Bvran would be authorised to ap point more negro postmasters, pro vided they can "read and write the Constitution in the EnglUh lan guage, and no Democrat eould kick. Then if appointing twenty-five negro postmasters be a crime, or wrong (and wedo not say it is not,) the appointing of one or a dosen, though they be recommended by Democrats, is also & crime, ss the principle is the same. Hence as the Democrats are as guilty as the Re publicans on this line, we conclude that it comes with poor grace for kettle to call pot black." How is it, any way' A ORASD SEXTIMEST. Hon. 8. B. Adams in accepting the Republican nomination for Gover nor, among many other good things said i "I aee in the Democratic papers that the gentleman on the Demo cratic ticket had made the assertion that there are three ways by which the Democratic party can win in this lection, one by force, one by fraud, and one by law. I want to say to you, gentlemen of the convention, and your following of fellow Re publicans, that I would rather die and be forgotten, with nothing but a sprig of cassia to mark my resting plaee, than to be Governor and be aa impersonation of fraud. A COXF4BISOX BXTWXX3I CAHDI DATXJ. The people of North Carolina have learned by tad experience to look askance upon the promi see) of the Democratic party. That party's pledges and solemn prom ises made In the last campaign have been unbluahlngly broken, their oaths trampled under foot, and now while appealing to yon to assist In their nefarious scheme to disfranchise thousands of white men In North Carolina, they are holding out the promise that under their control the public school sys tem shall become more efficient, Its scope be extended to 4 months. The Constitution already commands 4 months schooling, and the Demo cratic party only promises to carry out the Constitutional provision. That promise Is made with the self evident purpose of deceiving the poor struggling white parents who realize fully that after 1908 their children coming of age will have no more voice In the affairs of their State than if they were Boers In South Africa. How refreshing it is to htar these Democratic office seekers howling for better schools and promising to obey the Const! tutlon, when in the last legislature they passed bills in absolute dlsre gard of that very Constitution as the highest court In the State has declared. According to figures pre sented by Superintendent of Public Instruction Mebane, Illiteracy stea dily Increased under Democratic rule from lovu to isyu. what as surance have you that the Demo cratic party will do differently in the future from its record In the past f Have the leaders changedf Has the party been regenerated ? Can the same old leoapard change Its spots) Indeed every promise of the Dem ocratlc party to improve the school system has been discounted by the party Itself. A few months since the Democratic press of North Carolina resounded with praises of Super! n tendent Mebane and his official course. They admitted that he had built up the public schools and ful some praise was bestowed on him. Mr. Mebane had conducted his of fice In an earnest, sincere and thor oughly non-partisan manner, and this was approved by the press be fore the Democratic State Conven tlon met. Mr. Mebane's views on a State issue conformed with the sentiment of the Democratic ring, and he therefore announced that he would not accept a renomtnation except from the Democratic party. Did the Democratic party then show Its sincerity to the public schools by endorsing and re-noml nating Mr. jueDaner :ot on your life: but they deliberately hooted him down, did not utter one word in their platform endorsing his ad ministration, out; deliberately re pudiated his course when they nominated as his successor a man who Is totally unknown to the teachers and pupils of North Car olina, who has not participated In the recent educational campaigns All honor to the Confederat 6oldler; we rejoice to see the old soldiers recognized, but the course of the Democratic party In naming for Superintendent ef Public Instruc tion, a man whose only claim to recognition, according to the nomi nat.ng speeches, was his gallant war record, Is nothing short of a crime against the poor children of the State. How Is the Democratic candidate trying to fit himself for the duties and responsibilities of this Important position? As an an swer reaa me iouowing in the ac 1 A M . a . m count of the Democratic rallv at Wilmington, published la the r Evening Dispatch (Dem.) of that city : "Mr. J. C. Stevenson was called upon to Introduce Gen. Thomas F Toon, of Robeson, candidate for Su perintendent of Public Instruction. Mr. Stevenson complimented Gen. Toon's rec ord in the civil war. Gen. Toon referred In terms of gratitude! to tne action of tne Democratic btate Convention In recognizing In aim ice lomeueraie soiaier, now passing away. He expressed his sympathy with the objects aimed at by the constitutional amend ment, and pledged himself to ex tend and improve the public school system." Ye gods, what a spectacle! The party of brains and intelligence nominated a man for Superinten dent of Instruction whose only qualification is that he could kill Yankees thirty-five years ago. Su perintendent Mebane had referred to the great army of school children In the State, So the Democratic par ty thought that they needed a sol dier, not an educator, to drill them. We are pained to see North Car olina take a backward step. When Superintendent Mebane was nomi nated, the Populists realized that the office was too sacrt-d to be made a reward of pirty spoils. Su perintendent Mebane was never asked to, and he never did, make a political speech. He entered upon his duties free from the taint of politics. He gave the best admin istration in the history of the State. The Democratic Machine pretended to endorse his course, yet they were silent in the platform on the sub ject, and nominated a politician for the place, with the evident purpose of again prostituting the public school system to their political ends. Superintendent Mebane has ner- sonally Invited the Democratic can didate to accompany him to the various educational mMtinn ir. the Statend learn eometblnrabout the school system In North Caro lina, and meet the teachers, but the invitation Is Ignored, and the Dem- ocratlc aspirant Is still tagging after the Democratic candidates) showing that he is a politician, not an edu cator. The Populist party endorsed Superintendent Mebane's official course along with the other Popu list State officers, and since Mr. Me bane had announced that he could not accept a renoml nation at the hands of the Populist party, that party nominated as his successor an l ex-Professor of Trinity College, and a man thoroughly Identified with the educational Interests of the SUte. THK LOCTSIAKA EUCTIOS IAW HOW IT WORKS. The election law In Louisiana-, like the one we are asked to vote on In North Carolina, has not set tied the trouble In Louisiana. It's true It gave the Machine the recent election and all they asked for, but at the same time It gave the law and its supporters the most profound contempt of all honest citizens of that State. "Ring rule" is proving a failure in that State at first pass We give some clippings from pa pers In that State. Everybody thre, except the Machine, is sick of It. It will be so here, If the pure and honest masses sre fooled Into sub mitting to this "redshlrt gang," and voting for the present amendment The Dally (Louisiana) Item says: . i -r m . . k ".ueiore ine political canvass, which culminated in Mr. Heard's selection, had closed, leading Dem ocrata, and among them Senator McEnery himself, stated that the election law now In force would do for this election, but It must be re pealed and one more simple and honest substituted. The truth is, that when a constitution qualifies suffrage to tne extent the Louis! ana Coastltutlon does, an Austra lian ballot Is a surplusage, more dangerous, perhaps, and so far as an honest determining of the vo ter's dt sires acd will, than the dan gers In that respect sought to be destroyed in constitutional restric tions. Our Australian ballot stat ute Is a fearful and wonderful com pound of all that Is bad and all that Is reasonably good in similar lawn elsewhere. The powers that be could not resist the public demand for honest elections, and they gave us a law which could be manipula ted In construing its very text to their partisan advantage,and which would be so confusing to a voter, no matter his intelligence, as to thwart his purpose, if that purpose was against the 'powers.' But Democrats are not all partisans.- In fact, the white men claim ing yet to be Democrats are outside its pale in preponderating num bers. More than 70,000 of them re fused to participate la 'saving the party only two weeks since, and of those who did, a large number have begun to cry out against the ballot law." The Farmerville Gazette, the or gan of Governor-elect Heard, has seen the folly of it, and says there Is entirely "too much red tape, which the coming Legislature should take steps to remedy." Con tlnulng, it says : "Believing that the ballot box should be as free and untramelled as possible, we think that the abll Ity to register should be the onlv doorway to the right to vote. Then there &hould be no hindrance to his casting his ballot just as he pleases in the nrst place, the present law requires entirely too much red tape in the method of getting the names or candidates on the official ballot we say that the present law lays wiae tne gap ior advantage, favor iiism ana downright Injustice. as stated above, we think the ends of justice and fairness would oe better subserved to let the ability to register be the door way to the ballot box. Let the various candidates or campaign committees get up such ballots as they see fit, at their own expense and not that of the tax payers, and men let tne tickets be distributed among the voters and kept openlr at the polls so that they can have all the time they wish to prepare their ballot. Then let them so to A -a w tne pons ana vote as tbev nlcaaa This method would insure justice to an sides, and that is what the honest masses want. Do awav with au unnecessary red tape. Mat a tne election law and the plan of voting as simple, as free, as un tramelled as possible." 8o we see that the Constitutional Amendment of Louisiana has pro ven a failure. It places the busl ness interest of the State at the mercy of a greedy Machine. It will do it here A party is not honest. and can not be trusted, that will get up a law by which to Mstran gle"and thwart the will of the peo ple. L MOTS IM THK KIOHT DIBECTIOX in Alabama, the churches in their conferences, etc., are prepar ing to discuss publicly and practl cally the race problem in the South. This Is right. Why they have not done so before, is a question over which the world is stumbling Into skepticism. All political questions 1 a m ur anouia oe oasea on some great moral principle. If they are not, then good people can not In any wy encourage them they must be "hands off." When the light of Divine Truth, the spirit of Christ, is turned upon the race question, then we may look for jus tice to both races. Then we may expect, and will have, "white su premacy ;"f or that means more than the color of the skin or the success of any party, or the men getting of offices. Then we will have fair dis cussions of all questions and fair elections. Then such things aa red shirt ism will be universally con demned as a relic of the dark ages, and a blot and a disgrace on Chris tian civilization. The Church can not longer remain silent without reaping the consequences of Its having existed In vain. thk nrstrur or wmm utsctmstox. The Semi-annual debate between the Dialeetle and Philanthropic Societies of the State University took place a few days ago. The question at issue was "Resolved, that the Amendment as proposed by the last Legialatnre, shonld be made a part of our State Constitution. Mr. A. P. Spell and Mr. A. T. I Adams of the Phi. Society presented ! arguments ia support of the Amend ment. Mr. C. A. Jones and Mr. C. E. Mad dry, representative a of the Di. Society, presented arguments atrainat the Amendment. Each aide, we are informed, did itself credit by presenting all of the faets and argu ments in their strongest light. A committee was selected by the two sides to aet as judges. The Com mittee consisted of Judge McBae, Dr. Wilson, and Professor Cobb, all uemocrau. xneir verdict was a unanimous decision in favor of the negative. -!! 5 ' ? ... j. aim aucusnon ana tne result is a matter of considerable significance. It shows that the young men at the University are giving their serious attention to live, important questions of the day. It shows, second, that at this great seat of Laming, after two picked men from each side of the Literary Societies, fairly, im partially, and ably discussed this important question, that the verdiot of three eminent judges, is unani mous that the result of the debate established the fact that the Amend ment ought not to be adopted. This throws further light on the anxiety of Mr. Simmons, the Demo cratic oiaie vnairman, to avoid a fair discussion of this question be fore the people of the State. If there eould be a joint discussion of this question on every stump in North Lro!:na, tne majority of the white vote against it would be the largest ever east in the State on any pro position. Tms the supporters of the measure know; hence, their fear of a joint dieeussion. MtCKLESHCRG AND CABARKCS A friend writing from Charlotte aaysl "The mill boys and many democrats are opposed to the amendment In Charlotte township. Cabarrus county will poll a large vote against it. We ara pleased with the State ticket. A. C. Shu ford will carry his district, and the whole ticket will be elected. We want to hear our candidates dlszuss the issues. The Caucasian goes like hot cakes. Let the good work go on. XVIDKKTXT NOT lOR BKT1.V It ia notable that in the Democrat ic State convention this week 16 to 1 was not mentioned one time. Every now and then there was a reference to the free coinage of silver, but it was indirect and half-hearted. The Democratic party is getting awsy ixuui iui iuuj. Yvnen u aoes so entirely, and when it offers a candi date who commands the confidence of the country, it will win. Charlotte Observer. Advocates of the amendment 6ay: J vv e told you the Legislature would not do as mean a thing as to dis franchise anyone. We have left that to the people, and If you do It, then It can not be chargeable to the Democratic party, which has al ways 6tood lor free suffrage." In this, they are trying to deceive. The present Legislature did disfran chise over one hundred thousand voters irrespective of race or color. mat is, ir the provisions of the i sent "bull-peL election law ro enforced. And this was got ten up to carry the amendment. So you see the Legislature has and in disfranchise voters. A set of leaders who will do such a thing alter promising the people they onld not. and thereby obtaining their votes, are guilty of obtaining goods under false pretense and will do anything. The man who introduced Aycock at New Berne called him "the Spirit of Vance. In that ha misren re sented both Vance and Aveo&k. Vance was opposed to disfranchising mybody, and Aycock is trying to Jif franchise both white and bhutk like, if they fail to read and write or fail to pay their poll-taxes by the 1st of March. Vance was a friend to farmers; told them to organise and make their demands, and vot for no man of any party that wonld not agree to legislate in their inter est. Vance would not have voted for, or quietly sanctioned the repeal of the Alliance charter, the only far mers' organisation ter farmers had gone into it by his advice. How about it, Mr. Aycock f TheNewa and Observer says if Populists were not in favor of ne groes holding office. "Why didn't they submit their proposed amend ment when the fusionists were in power f n That's no argument. If it is. then we might ask, if the Demo crats wanted "white snpremacynwhy did they not propose , their amend ment years ago when they were in powei I They w re in longer than the Populists, and the negroes had ess sense than now. Even in 1898 Democrats said they did not want the amendment, that it was too cruel a thing. If it is right now, why was it not right then! The answer is, they did not have an election law by which they could steal it then; that's what. Our Democratic friends nroniu great things that they are going to ' do for education. They say put them '' in and they will give a four months eefcooL They were in twenty-five years. Did they give four saonths schools' Did they even tryi When their leading educators in 1897 got np a phut to increase the school fund, and ordered an election, did these same men, leaders and pa pers, encourage that eleetionf V A I ?a . . uey oppoeea it, Decauee they wars afraid it would help the f unionists.' And if the amendment passes, they will refuse to advocate an increase o the school fund on the ground that i will help the Republican partv by preparing the negroes to vote. you do not believe it, just try them Yes, there were a few negro dele gates in the Republican State eon vention. This will give some room for negro howling papers to squall. What hurts such papers most is, there were not a great many more negroes there. But the negroes there eould read and write. Heneo, according to the logic of the advo cates of the amendment, such ne groes had a right there. They did A 1 .a not ao any more tnan tne negroes who attended the Demoeratte prim ary in WaynesviUe and perhaps other towns, many of whom doubt less eould not read and write. We can't see why Mr. Simmons will continue to slander the intelli gence of the State. Ha still sends onta circular or poster, headed that the amendment "allows all white men who register under it before 1903 to vote for all time, whether they can read or not.'' He knows that every man in the State knows it will disfranchise every man who fails to pay his poll-tax by March 1st. He knows the election law wil disfranchise every man who can not see or read and thereby gets his vote in the wrong box. The Charlotte Observer says the amendment should be adopted for two reasons: (1) 4lTo give North Car olina what it never had before an educated electorate. (Nothing said In this about eliminating the negro, but means educated white and black alike.) (2) "When the iokobakt vote (those who can read will vote; Is eliminated, men wil be free to think, speak and write as they feel this they cas kotdo xow. If the negroes were Democrats from principle and at heart, and Republican legislature had submitted just such an amendment as the one the present legislature has suggest ed, the Democrats would oppose it as unconstitutional, unjust and cowardly act. So you see they are not carrying out the golden rule and it is all unchristian. We call attention to the advert tlsement of the Capital Printing Company, which appears in another column. Those desiring work done from the printing of a poster to the making of a ledger, can get it done in the neatt stand best stvle and at reasonable prices, bv irlvlne the Capital Company their order. a he Charlotte Observer speaks of the Populist platform, adopted in the recent convention, as being "along the usual lines.' It strikes us that a somewhat stable position on the part of Democracy would be more acceptable, certain it wonld show more sincerity in their pretended beliefs. Union Republican. auj man wno wouia accept an i i , office obtained through fraud, in tlmidation or the workings of a d's honest election law. eould not he crusted at a chicken roost much less with the lives and property of the people. Negroes participated ia the Demo cratic convention in Waynesville, and they eould not all read ab write either, so far as reported. Democratic papers ought to raise a howl. The Democratic papers are busy night and day trying to explain to their people why Mr. Simmons is afraid of a joint can vaas with the Populist. They are having a hard time of it. The Progressive Farmer had some telling articles in it last week and this against the Amendment Goes s the Democratic papers will not give them free editoral man tlon. We are in receipt of an invitation of Mr. EL Middleton to attend the Fourth Annual Commencement of Cary High School, from May 16th to 18th! The Biblical Recorder says the Populist ticket, so far as it is quainted, "is composed of men good meaning. of Democrats of Haywood conaty Lad a row in their county convention and a good part bolted. Fdl out over the spoils. A Democrat unthoughtedly said to us the other day that ''the law requiring two elections in one year was a mess," Then In the same breath, seeing the mistake, said: "No it isn't, for a Democratic legis lature passed It." This shows how people can and will condemn wrong when separated from the dear p-a-r- t-y. Some good people would sanc tion the repeal of the whole Bible and the substitution of a medical almanac in its stead, if the Demo cratic party shonld aav such a thing was usee ary to deatroy M rtoa Butler and the Peopled Party. Many, we believe would and some have already done eo bartered away their soul salvation to get rid of the People's Party. The reason is they cant answer Its) arguments. It's said Claud Kitchen made a mean and dirty speech In Clinton the other day. His meaning waa that if one did not vote the Demo cratic ticket, he voted for the ne gro, and thereby endorsed the rapes that the negroes committed. This Is a grand insult to every free, white man who claims to have as much right to his political opln ions as Mr. Kltchin has. Does he mean to Infer that every man who has voted and worked against the Democratic party, and endorsed the action of the fusion legisla ture" endorsed negro rapersf If to, Mr. Kltchln violate that scripture which says : "Honor thy father and mother, etc. This founds like, M Jld rain" In the other end of the subject. We do not know of a single Pop ullstor white Republican In the State bnt what would vote for the amendment ff they had the remot est Idea that It would take the ne gro out of politics, and keep such negro howling papers aa the Newt and Observer from calling every party, except the Democratic party, the negro party. And we do not anow oi a machine Democrat, or Democratic paper that would advo cate the passage of the amendment If they thought it would take the negro out of politics. Now every i man who knows anything knows this is the truth. North Carolina never had a better state ticket In the field asking for the votes of honest men of the state than waa put np by th Populist State Convention on the 18th. The only thing the Democratic party can aay about them is they are too honest and have too much back bone for them to whip or drive Into the old scuttled ship. You fellows that have been telling your dupes that the Pops were dead don't you think It's rather a live corps? Don't you think you lied some time and some where? Anyway we are for the state ticket from start to finish. Charlotte People's Party Paper. The idea of a Democrat running around and telling Republicans they ought to vote for the amend ment, because if it should become a law, it would help build up the Republican party and give it con trol of the State. Have you seen such a thing as thatf Such a Dem ocrat is either lying or betraying his own party. He had better be hunting around to find some thing to build up his own party so as to give it control of the State without having to steal It. What hurts the democratic leaders In the Republican party Is too big now. We publish In this Issut- a letter from a colored man who says he Is for the amendment. From the rea sons he gives, he has been reading the secret circular sent out by Dem ocrats to the negroes, saying it will be to their political and social in terest to vote for the amendment. We do not believe they can gut many negroes ambitious enough iu vuie ior is. z et mere are some who want office and they may get them to vote for It. The negro re ferred to doubtless has had his at tention called to the fact that Cleve land gave them more offloes than any one else. If the i Democrats in Kentucky can't find enough Republicans In that Btate to indict for killing Goe- oei, mey might come down in this State and arrest two or three nun- dred. And If they will get some ex pert witnesses, and then do not find the cowardly scoundrel who killed Goebel, It will be due to the fact that the $100,000 reward has been pretty well exhausted.
