It is needless to ay tbat tbelr action met tbe hearty approval of tbe whole Bute, for there In not a greater need than ad equate educational faoilitiea. be It aaid with profound rogrct that tbe percentage of illiteracy ia greater in North Carolina than In any otber Htate of the I'nion. Why is thia not The Democratic party haa had con trol of the Huto for well nigh twen ty ave years, and yet tbe percentage uf Illiteracy ban not decreased moro than ae per vent. Let art refor to the Censun Ueporta in order to be exact. Thla report ahowa that in 1870 there were '24 per cent, of white illit erates over 21 yeara of age. The censu of 1800 shows that there were 2:5.1 per cent, of white il literates over 21 yeara of age. Now. this shows that the Demo cratic party with unlimited power for a long period of years wai not the friend of public education that the machine now try to make one be lieve. If that party had had the educa tion of the poor children at heart it would have found a way to have in oreaaed in Home marked and measu rable degree tbe educational facili tate. The responsibility for a criminal lack of educational advantages and facilities Ilea with the Democratic party. Whon the disfranchising amend ment waa submitted, why waa not another amendment for an increase in the school term also submitted? When tho Fusion Legislature of 1897 paused an act aubmitting the question of increased taxation, (pro vided a majority of the qualified vo ter favored it,) for the purpose of maintaining longer and better school terms the Democratic press of the Btate vehemently fought the meas ure. Many contended that it was too expensive, yet these same parti zan sheets were as silent as the tomb when the Democratie Legislature of 1609 ordered the Htate election to be held in August. They said nothing about the urkat kxpknhe involved then. ran a no kit ulkctht uw. j Tin Ca rA hi am la gratified to n od in a rrnt isn of the Biblical Be- I -.1.- ... A.lit.&l f.n what the fnrth CVIUVI m -. coming legialatnre should io, the following: In the second place, we may all urge the enactment of an election law tbat will give equal represmte tion to each of tbe political parties, representation authorized by tbe par ties thenia elves. There la now no ex cuse tor a law in at provides for leaa than thia. A party tbat rears a fair eleetion Is a dangerous party. Popu lar government Is conditioned apon a free ballot and a fair count; waea fraud begins, tbe government b gins to fail. It ia a true aa Heir Writ that a party tbat fears a fair election is a dangerous party. Buob a party would not hesitate to overthrow pop ular government, if by so doing It could advance party iutoieste. la such a party are deeply imbed d the seeds of monarchyof Impe rialism and It should have no plae in a Kepnblieao form of govern ment. Tbe methods of a party tbat d- airee a fair and honest eleotion, sure ty Ubd to Uie subversion and de strucliou of government bd on popular sovereignty. Our government is supposed to rest on on the sovereign will of the majority of the citizen, expressed at the ballot box, but base, corrup tion and unscrupulous men take ad vantage of their power and friquent ly overturn tbe wi'l of the people. Tbe deuial of the right of tree oitiaens to exercise their constitu tional privilege ia the beginning of monarchy. There la no more striking truth than that uttered by the Kecorder, when it says tbat "when fraud be gins the government begins to fall. Such a government, bottomed on fraud and corruption, certainly for f eiU a great part of the love and re sDect tbat free citizens have for it- No government can permanently en dure if iU very founUm of strength and power has become pulluted. Tbe strength and power of a Republican government are the love and respect that the masses have for it. Tbe downfall of Greece and Rome furnishes us a striking illustration of this great truth. When these gov ernments became corrupt; when the masses lost their controlling voice, in them, then the light of Republi canism went out, and monarchy su perceded it. Popular government can only live so long as the voice of the people is respected. The Caucasian is glad that so able a journal as the Recorder has joined in the demand for an honest and fair election law.

(1UKAT ANT) The Fusion Legislature of 18V5dis- filayed lamentable ignorance of the aws In regard to tbe election of President and Vice President. Tnis ignorance cost the State exactly 386.4U. The Democratic Legisla ture of 1S9U copied the mistake, and the copy will now come about as hi(h as the original. Exchange. It seems to us that there is abso lutely no excuse for such a blunder on the part of the great (T) and wise (f) who controlled the Legislature of 18W. The Democratic press boasted that tbe Legislature was composed of the ablest, brainiest and wisest lot of pa triots and statesmen that ever as sembled before in legislative session. These same papers made the furth er boast that these wise solons were k patriotic and so devoted to the material welfare of the btate that it would be well nigh criminal to en tertain a thought of their wrong doing, carelessness or neglect. These aforesaid solons however, appropriated $310,000 more than any Legislature in many years, and this does not include the additional ap propriations for public schools and the penitentiary. Then, too, it should be remember ed that there were about fifty mem bers of the lecral profession in that body, yet the'.Legislatire mill ground ont more unconstitutional laws than ever before at any one session of tbe General Assembly. If the error committed by the Fu sioniits be "lamentable ignorance." then it is damnable ignorance on the part of the great (1) and wise (f ) to eopy It. WILL THIS 1'LKDGK UK KKl'T? It will be remembered that Mr. Ayoock pledged the people in tbe memorable campaign of 1892 that if Cleveland and a Democratic Con gress were elected and failed to re store silver to the right of free and unlimited eoinage he would join the People's party. The first act of the Cleveland ad ministration was to repeal the only law that gave any recognition to sil ver at the mints. Mr. Aycock broke bi9 Bolemn pledge to the people. In tbe reoeut campaign he pledged solemnly tbat the educational facilities should be so increased as to give adequate ad vantages to every eommunity, to the end that every thirteen year old boy could vote by 1908 in order to pre vent bis being disfranchised like the Illiterate negro. Now, the whole Htate will watob with interest this solemn pledge and see if it is kept or disregarded, like the pledge made in 1892 to leave the Democratic party in the event of its hostility to silver. Mr. Aycock and his party are pledged to increase, in . marked de gree, the eduoational interests and facilities. See that they do it. The large meat house in Chicago have put np the price of meat one cent per ponnd. The man who works for small wages will find that even the necessities of life are becoming dearer. But the trusts will thrive just aa long as tho people sustain them. Tbe voters in this country have it in their power to correct ev ery abuse of power or privilege, and to right every unjust condition. If they suffer it in consequence of their own folly. 1 1 la stated In the papers that the cotton mill operatives in Alamance who recently went oat on a strike have been forced to vacate the houses they occupied, and that ne groes (perish the thought!) have been employed to take their places as operatives In the mills. This astounding bit of Informa tion constrains us to inquire of Sim mons and Aycock: Is this "White Supremacy" such as you solemnly promised the people, or Is It "nig ger supremacy'" The public will, we are sure, await with bated breath" a direct and unequivocal answer. in view ot tne Tact tbat toe ne gro calamity howlers are suoh ex cellent adepts in matters requiring such nice distinction, we urge them to enlighten us as to this peculiar brand of supremacy. If these poll, tlclans, who so dearly love (?) the downtrodden poor white' people of the Btate before the eltotlon and so honestly (7) fear that the negroes would control them by holding po litical offices, would give some' "outward and visible eigne" of their great love and loyalty after the elections, then these people would not be subjected to such treatment as they have received In Alamance. But It seems that the only dan ger of "nigger domination" Is when the "colored brother" stands In the way of some Democratic politician's political job. The negro ts all right If he votes the Democratic ticket. In good faith we think It would be eminently appropriate for the Sim mons machine to order forthwith a band of redshlrts to Alamance to teach these mill owners that "White Supremacy'' means Whits Suprkmact. Recant Flrea Attributed to Over-Insur ance asd the President Haui&bes all Companies. New Orleans Special. 14th, In New York Bun. It Is reported that Gen. Carr pent $50,000 In his candidacy for the Senate. The General doubtless now reallxos fully tbe power and effectiveness of the Simmons ballot-stuffing machine. Fifty thous and dollars is a pretty snug sum to spend, and then fall, too, but ex perience is valuable, and that's the only thing General Carr gets for his efforts and money. The Sim mons machine only recognize Oarr's Democracy aa having any good qualities when they want a cam paign contribution. The "paramount issue" with the masses in North Carolina ib the right to have a free and unrestricted bal lot, and an honest and fair count. Until free-born citizens can have their ballots honestly counted as cast there can be nother issue. Men may differ as to principles and policies, but these count for naught so long as there is a ballot thief to steal votes and count them contrary to the way they were oast. Mr. Aycock should remember that his inaugural will be incomplete without a vast array of Red-shirts. As they accompanied him on his campaign tour in certain parts ot the State he should not fail to extend them a cordial invitation to be pres ent, especially In view ef the fact that these red shirts were an impor tant factor in securing his election by force, by intimidation and by va rious forms ot lawlessness. Be it remembered that the ma chine candiiates pledged the people of the Stats that if the amendment was adopted they would that every boy thirteen vears old would be able to read and write so The Washington Post thinks that the action of the North Carolina ma chine Democrats in August in pass lug the disfranchisement amendment by "force, fraud" and intimidation was a great source of embarrassment to Mr. Bryan in his campaign tour over the oonntry- Then also, it is reported that at National Democrat ie Headquarters in Chicago the lead ers say that this disfranchisement Bcheme was one of the causes of Mr. Bryan's defeat. Mr. Bryan frequent ly. appealed to the negroes for their votes. One Hundred More Found. Bodies Galveston, Texas, Nov. 17.The United States Surveying Corps today round over one Hundred dead bodies in a swamp just west of the city on tLe island where they had been left by the storm ot September last. The uu buried dead were in an ont of the way place near the county road and had not been discovered by the bury ing parties sent ont after the storm. As a result of tho recent lire in Port Llmoo, Costa Rica, the Costa Bloan President, Vglesias, has Is sued a decree, the like of which has never been known before lu any country, or at any period in the past. Holding the Port lilmon hre to have been the work of men who were over-Insured, the presidential decree positively prohibits any fire insurance company from doing business in Costa Rica. Tho terms of the prohibition admit of no eva tlon. The action la based upon the maxim that an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure. The rree ldent holds that if there had been no Insurance carried by Port LI mon merchants there would have been no fire. His action has long been meditated, owing to several serious conflagrations which ongl nated In San Jose business estab lishmente. The Port Llmoo fire, which also began in the business section, merely furnished the peg upon whloh the decree Is hung. The decree orders that the build ings erected to replace those de etroyed In the Port Llraon blaze shall be constructed of lire proof material, brick and corrugated Iron Further, the decree provides that within the period of two years, ev ery frame building now- standing in Port Limon must be replaced by a fire proof structure. a etc LuisrmroT re:?to tx mi SC3T1. ilk Vklw of Iht !UuM Hrk iMa k IImI to EUmM 2S.MMMMIO -IkMfvTrMl M ill . ootrnt tttm !

It is said the deal is the reeult ot a meeting held in this eity prior to tbe eleetion. Among thote who particl pated in this conference were Au gust Belmont, of tbe New York bank ing firm, and representatives of near ly all the companies named above. After the conference the party pro seeded to Norfolk, and Inspected the plants of some of tbe lumber compa nies. Conferences have since been held in New York and the negotia tions, it is said, have praeticall reached a practical termination. is understood that all the capital to seenre the consolidation will be forthcoming and that the Belmonts will finance tbe deal, the total value of tb various plants being about $13 000,000. Mr. Auerbach is to attend to the legal aide of the proposition. The combination is to control the market for Carolina pine, which is said to have been much demoralized by competition between the numerous concern in the trade. This class of lumber figures extensively as build ing material, being us-d in every way tbat lumber Is necessary in tbe erection of all classes of structures. According to a prominent lumber man, it is not proposed to advanee prices, bnt to make money by econo mizing in the operating expensea, and also not to increase the export of lumber. Gossip about the deal was frequent in trade circles to-dty. Ex Senator Tunis, of the Tunis Lumb r Company, which has its mills at Norfolk, returned from New York, bnt declined to discuss details of the combine. He admitted, however, tbat negotiations are in progress. Governor Smith, of this State, is heavily interested in the Surry Lum ber Company. He is also interested in the Surry, Sussex & Southampton Railroad, which penetrates the t o- ber lands of the former company. I' is t narrow gauge line, 28 miles n length, and would doubtless be in cluded in the deal. A Knight Templar Praises Poruna'.TtlE CAUCASIAN v, A4 8ayt "I asa Better The I lave! Bee far Tweaty Tears.

COUNTESS MURDERED BAND. BY HER HUS- .TeeJorer Ceuaed the Crime The Trag edy the Talk of the Clab in Paris. Pakis, Nov. 18. Saturday's trag edy, the killing of Countess DeCor nller by her her husband, was the principal topic yesterday at the dubs and in social circles general ly. Count De Cornller's condition, prior to his marriage, was rather numble, and after his separation irom tne uounteea, ne lived in a small apartment In tbe Latin quar ter, evidently maintaining himself on a very modest income. The Countess, on the other hand, believed in nne style, and It was ev ident tbat nis enanged domestic conditions, especially as they con trasted with those of the Countess, greatly depressed mm. The statement by H. Leroux, the advocate, at whose apartments the Countess was shot, that she had placed her affairs in his hands at the suggestion of the father, Count Plneau de Viennay, is corroborated by the latter, who emphatically de- niea tnaatnere was anv lmnroDri ety whatever in the relations exist ing between his daughter and her legal representative.

He was taken to the small aperature in the wall, through which the mob entered, one by one, and one foot was pushed through to the crowd on the outside. Tney began pulling on this foot while the other one remain ed on the inside and as he was pulled through the hole in this manner, he was of oonrse right badly hurt.
