"lent and Public School Acts Polnt mi,t0 Ilh irlle-RaiIroads and Other Matters Touched Upon. The following is the full text of the platform adopted by the Populist State Convention: The People's party of North Caro lina, in convention assembled at Ral eigh on the 13th day of August, 1896, hereby re-affirms its unqualified allegi ance to the principles of the party, and hereby approves the platform of the People's party adopted at its Na tional convention held in the city of St. Louis, July 22nd, 1896. THE ELECTION LAW. We hereby re-affirm our fixed deter mination to support and maintain a free ballot and a fair count in all elec tions held in North Carolina; and the election law passed by the General Assembly of 1895 meets our hearty en dorsement and approval; and we here by pledge the People's party to theH policy or upholding the principle ol free and honest elections provided for in said election law and warn the vot ers of the State against the threats which have been made to repeal the same. COUNTY GOVERNMENT. The act of the last General Assem bly restoring to the people the right of local self-government by the elec tion of their county commissioners and justices of the peace by vote of the peo ple in the respective counties, and the sale-guards therein provided, meets with our hearty approval, and we pledge the People's party to the con tinued support and maintenance of that legislation, and warn t?-. voters of the necessity of preventing injurious changes in that act, and of the danger of electing members of the General Assembly hostile thereto. LEGAL TENDER MONEY. We favor the exercise by the State of North Carolina of the reserved con stitution! power to make all gold and silver coins of the United States (in cluding the trade dollar) a legal ten der for the payment of debts, and that this right be enforced by the passage of an appropriate act by the General Assembly. GOLD NOTES AND MORTGAGES. We believe that all money demands should be payable in the lawful money of the United States without preference or discrimination, and therefore favor the passage by the General Assembly of a law to prohibit the taking or giv ing of gold notes, bonds and mort gages in this State, and the making of all money demands solvable in any kind of lawful money of the United States. INTEREST. We pledge ourselves to maintain the six per cent, interest law enacted by the last General Assembly. I'LT.LIC SCHOOLS. The action of the People's party members of the last General Assembly has demonstrated, beyond question, that the People's party has been true to its antecedent platform declarations in favor of public education. We favor still further improving and broadening the public school system of the State as rapidly as a proper regard for the interests of the tax payers and the re sources of the State will permit. We also favor such revision of our present school system as may increase the effi cienceofour public schools and in sure the most competent and effective supervision. He think that the com mittee on Education of the next Gen eral Assembly should invite and secure as far as possible, the co-operation of j the leading. teachers and educators of j the State in framing and perfecting the school law. JUDICIARY. Our judiciary should be lifted above the plane of partisian politics. REFORMATORY FOR YOUNG CRIMINALS. We favor the establishment of a State institution for the reformation of young criminals. DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION CON- DEMNED. We condemn the Democratic ad ministration in North Carolina for its failure to execute the anti-trust laws of the State now on our statute books, and call the auention of the people to the fact that official action in this . regard is not in harmony with the ul- I . . . .i.r j 1 tra anti-trust sentiment heretofore and 'now being expressed by the leaders of j or i ; the Democratic party. ' RAILROADS. j We favor the establishment of such ! equitable and low freight rates and 1 c i charces for products shipped from shipped North Carolina as will enable shippers and producers to realize at least a fair remuneration after costs of such ship ments have been deducted. We call especial attention to the possibilities cf the trucking industry in Eastern North Carolina, an indus try which, but for the extortionate tariffs of the common carrier, would increase an hundred fold, carrying with it the greatest prosperity to that highly favored section it has ever known. We earnestly recommend to our State Railroad Commission that they use all the powers they have to bring about such reductions; and especially thai they urge before the Inter-State Commerce Commission all complaints of extortion and discrimination with such vigor and continuity that should they fail to secure remedial action by the Inter-State Commerce Commis sion, all the people would know where to place the, responsibility for existing outrages; and if their facilities for fighting the battles of the people be fore the Inter-State Commerce Com mission are inadequate for that pur pose, that they make reccommendation to the General Assembly of amend ments to existing laws, to the end that low and fairer rates may be established .both in the State and Inter-State juris dictions. Resolved, That we recomend a con stitutional prohibition of the purchase, lease or rental of parallel or competing railway lines. FREE PASSES. We favor a law forbidding the giv ing of free passes to public officials, and forbidding their receiving the same. NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD LEASE. We condemn the lease of the North Carolina Railroad to the Southern Railway Company for ninety-nine years, not only as a bad business trans action in which the interests of the State amounting to the large sum of $3,000,000 invested in good paying property yielding an income, were sacrificed; but we also, in moit em phatic terms condemn the hasty and secret manner in which it was done several years before the former thirty years' .ease, by its terras, would have expired. We call the attention of the people of the State to the fact that some mysterious power has prevented an investigation, through the proper legal channels, of this transaction, which was so universally condemned by the press of the State and all classes of our citizens, when it first became known. We therefore demand that the next General Assembly fully in vestigate this transaction, and to the end that the interests of the State may be fully protected as far as it can be done, such legislative action shall be taken as to counteract, as far as possi ble, this unwise and secret transaction. REMOVAL OF CASES. The removal of cases from the State courts to the Federal courts for trial wherein the plaintiffs are poor persons and defendants rich foreign corpora tions, on application of defendants, is a growing evil in North Carolina, and in its practical operation frequently amounts to a denial of justice to poor suitors, and therefore should be con demned. We demaud, therefore, that the next General Assembly shall pass such a general statute on this subject as to take from such corporations doing business in this State the privi lege of carrying on business in North Carolina, and withdrawing the pro tection of the State extended to their business, if they persist in escaping the jurisdiction of our courts when claims are sought to be enforced against them therein. We advocate such legislation as will insure a just listing and taxation of all evidences of debt, and make an equi table adjustment of the burden of tax ation between the debtor and a cred itor. REDUCTION OF SALARIES. In order to keep our public servants in thorough touch and sympathy with the oppressed masses, and to check to some extent the scramble for office, we demand a reduction of salaries un til such time as through an increase of the currency the price of property and products will justify the present rates. THE TEST. It matters not, my friend, how rich you are, How grand and great; How brightly o'er you shines ambition's star, Or high estate; It matters naught though rarest silks en fold Your stately form, And marble walls inlaid with gleaming gold Shut out the storm . But whether you have proved your noble birth By noble deeds, Kegardless of the sners and snares of earth Or useless creeds; Whether your soul has soared in courage high, Erect and free, With resolution that can do or die. Is much to me. I care not whether you have won in fight . - a warrior muic Or graved in silver letters dazzling bright A statesman's name; It matters not that people bow the' head In flattering fear; Or nation's tremble with a nameless dread When you are near. lint whether you have spoken words most kind And sown the seed That bears rich fruitage in the human mind Of thought and deed; Whether your heart has triumphed o'er its pride With courage true.

THE STORY OF PERKIN WARBECK, WHO LAID CLAIM THE THRONE OF ENGLAND. Romantic Career ot a Daring and Dashing Young Adventurer He Claimed to Be the Duke of York and the Rightful Heir to the Crown of England Al though an Impostor He Had Plenty of Dupes and Came Very Near Accom plishing His Purpose. History is full of the records of odd and often daring impostors, but the man before unknown who suddenly lifts himself from the ranks of the masses and proclaims himself; by "right of birth and the grace ot God," right ful monarch of one of the greafest na tions in the world, must have in him, if sane, those qualities of daring and leadership that are supposed to be the prerogatives of majesty. Great as is the danger, there has been a number of royal impostors "pretenders" there have been without count and the foremost, the king of all these, is Perkin Warbeck. Poet, novelist, painter and historian have made this daring youth a subject for investigation and art treatment. And to-day, after the lapse of centu ries and his own confession in the Tower of London there are not want ing those romantic natures who be lieve that Perkin Warbeck was all he claimed to be when, as a young ad venturer, he left the dikes of Holland with the throne of England as his des tination. It is possible that some one of the 27 different stories as to the place and time of birth and the an cestry of Perkin Warbeck may be right, but as each story has been refuted in turn it is safe to say that history re- taius no authentic record of the ante cedents of one of its conspicuous char acters. He and his adherants claimed and they did it with force of arms and royal honors that he was the Duke of York, son of Edward IV, of England, who was supposed to have been mur dered in the tower with his older brother by Richard III. These peo ple maintained, and with a show of reason that won all Scotland and much of England to their side, that while the older brother was killed the vounger was saved and sent to Holland. The wonderful resemblance of the daring young impostor to his reputed father, Edward, helped to sustain and strength en his claim. Without doubt it was this striking resemblance that first at tracted the attention of the English, who hated the tyrant Richard III and his two successors, to the young man and decided them to push his claims for their own ends. Among all the guesses as to the a.- cestry of Perkin Warbeck that of the French writer Devereaux, is most ac curate. He shows, to his own satisfac tion at least, that Warbeck was the il legitimate son of a Jew banker and that he was born in Tournay, France, about the year 1470. In proof ot this Devereaux shows tnat nothing is known of the young man's mother, but all writers who have treated of the subject agree that he was educated at Tournay, and that the Jew banker met all his expenses there and furnished him with money afterward. Others claim that the Jew was an honest man and simply acted as the custodian of funds intrusted to him for the purpose by the opponents of Richard. In the same way there have been scores of theories as to where, how and when the great impostor got, took or was given the rather plebeian name of Perkin Warbeck. After he reached the age of 20, in 1490, up to the hour of his tragic death the historical record is complete, and it is safe to say it is fairly accu rate. In that year he was a youth ot youth of wonderful beauty, rare ac complishments and royal bearing. For a year his right to the English throne had been discussed, particularly bv the ODOonents of England and the haters of Henry VII, chief of whom was Margaret, dowager duchess of Burgundy. This lady sent for Perkin Warbeck. She addressed him as her "Cousin Richard, Duke of York," and received him with the honors due to royalty Without doubt the Duchess of Bur gundy knew that her guest was an im postor, but so handsome was his per son, so cultured his mind, so knightly his bearing and so great his resem blance to Edward that, like a child alarmed at the bears of its own crea tion, she at length became a believer in trie man whom she had called to her court to be her tool. Although in the thickening shad ows of a long and far from holy life, it is said the old Duchess was deeply enamored of Perkin Warbeck and be came jealous of her maids of honor, all of whom seem to have fallen in love with him, not so much because he was the possible king of England as for his unusual beauty and fascinating manners. In an age of vice and intemperance Perkin Warbeck was sober and clean, but he would have been more or less than a man if he had withstood the temptations of the court of Burgundy. Indeed, that same Devereaux strongly hints that although Perkin Warbeck failed of the English throne his de scendants can be traced, eren unto this day," among not tmly many of the aristocratic fa m lies of France and Germany, but among many of the royal families as well. At the court of Bureund? the name Perkin Warbeck was dropped, and he was known there and thereafter as P "his royal highness the Duke of York." TO In 1492-3 when the civilized world was thrilling with the story of the dis covery of a new world, war was de clared between England and France, Charles VII being ruler of the latter, and Henry VII of the former. Openly supported by Burgundy and covertly by France, Perkin Warbeck landed at Cork, Ireland, late in 1492, and the Irish, ever antagonistic to the ruling sovereign of England, flocked by hundreds to his standard. He de feated the English, drove them out of Munster and was pushing his victorious way North when war was declared by Charles and he was invited to France. Warbeck left his army with its con sent and hastened to Paris. The French monarch received him as an equal. Great fetes in his honor were held in Paris, where he was publicly proclaimed "Duke of Yoik and the rightful heir to the throne fraudulently held by one styling himself as Henry VII." A palace was placed at the service of Warbeck, a bodyguard com posed largely of nobles attended him, and negotiations for his marriage with a lady of the royal family met with popular approval. Henry VII became alarmed, and it was his fear of Perkin Warbeck rather than of the French armies that led him to sign the treaty of peace at Naples. The leading condition of this treaty was that Warbeck should no longer find honor or even an asylum in France. At this juncture the Duchess of Bur gundy again came to the rescue ot the brilliant impostor. She invited him to her court and in the presence of the world; as represented by embassadors, statesmen and generals, she proclaimed him "Duke of York and my nephew." While the continent was thus treat ing Perkin Warbeck many of the lead ing English nobles, won by his roman tic story and the belief that he was in deed the son of the beloved king whom he so strongly resembled, declared for him. So great was the division that civil war was threatened. Henry VII learned the true story or rather sufficient to prove that Perkin Warbeck was an impostor. He caused it to be published and ordered all who believed in the impostor to be put to death. As a consequence some of the foremost men in the kingdom were sent to the scaffold. Although there was not. a drop of so-called royal blood in his veins, there was not in Europe at that time a man occupying a throne who in all the attributes of manhood at all compared with the impostor and adventurer, Per kin Warbeck. Backed by the Duchess of Burgundy and many of the French nobles whom the peace of Naples did not win to Henry VII, Warbeck landed in the North of England with a small but well equipped army in the manage ment of which he showed unmistakable evidences of generalship. He maintained himself for six months against all the force Henry could send against him; but having no treasury, government or base of sup plies, he was, after a stubborn fight, driven into Scotland, then an indepen dent kingdom under James IV. The English dared not pursue be yond the border, where lowlanders and highlanders had gathered by thousands "to help the son of Edward miraculously saved by Heaven to ; bring vengeance ou the regicides." The Scotch king received Perkin Warbeck as an equal. He sent out a royal edict proclaiming him Duke of York and "uncrowned king of our neighbor England." Masses were said in all the cha pels of Scotland thanking Heaven for the miraculous preservation of the prince. Fetes were given in his honor and the Scotch nobility threw wide open their castle gates to receive him, and their retainers girdled on their clay mores and swore on the crucifix to de fend him. There was never a doubt of this man's genuineness in the minds of the Scots, and with Celtic impulsiveness they stood ready to prove their faith. The most beautiful woman in Scot land at that time wis Lady Katherine J Gorden, daughter ol the powerful j Earl of Huntly. J Great was the rejoicing in the j Northern kingdom when it was learned that the daughter of Scotland's iq - noble was betrothed and thj adulations of inferiors, of . which he was now the object, might 1 well have turned his head and con- 1 veyed to himself an idea of divine pro tection, if not of infallibility. Bat impostor though he knew himself to be, he bore himself with a modesty, grace and dignity that show he was not made of ordinary clay. ; A few months after his marriage j messengers came to him from Cornwall in the Sth of Eneland. where the language of ancient Britian was still ', spoken, assuring him that the people 1 in that section were organized and luuai uuuiG naa usiiuiin.u iu qq en- Duke of York, the rightful sovereig' ef the England." i-polish They were married in the chapelfaction.

I ready to join his standard as soon as j he appeared. I With a small but gallant force com- , posed of young men of the best Scotch j families, Perkin Warbeck landed in j Cornwall, where the people met him and loyally kept their pledge. Not only Cornwall and the men of ! the rocky islands to the South, but the men of Devonshire also, rallied to his defense. With soldierly celerity he pushed forward, believing that all England would rise to his support, and that he could, reach London and the throne without much difficulty. But Henry met him and checked him near Exeter. That this was not the invasion of a mob led by a daring adventurer is shown by the fact that this young man this son of nobody, this brilliant impostor kept up the war in England's heart f r three years, during which time he outranked the best generals and circumvented the best armies sent to stay him. In the battle of Taunton he lei 8,000 men and came so near to victo ry and the throne that only an acci dent defeated him and ended the hope of himself and heroic dupes. He was taken prisoner in the New Forest and carried to London. Here he was speedily tried and at once sentenced to death. He was then under 30 years of age. He confessed to his priest that he was an impostor; but not satisfied with this the king ordered him to sit in the stocks at Westminister six hours before his execution and there to read a dying confession that had been pre pared for him. Perkin Warbeck was an impostor, one of the greatest in history, but England has never had a king his in. tellectual peer. Alfred R. Calhoun.

The following is the resolution in troduced by John Graham at the ses sion ot the N. C. Farmer's Alliance and unanim3usly passed: "Whereas, Attorney General Os borne did in a letter dated February 22, 1896, refuse the representative of a special committee of Alliancemen, acting upon their own responsibility as citizens, permission to bring suit to test the validity of the lease of the North Carolina Railroad to the Southern Railway in accordance with the per mission granted him by the Supreme Court of North Carolina, to-wit: Leave to bring action in the name of the State for the purpose of vacating the charter of the North Carolina Rail road or for such other relief as the court may see fit to yrant in the prem ises, and did threaten to dismiss the action unless confined 10 the vacation of the charter of the N rth Carolina Railroad;' "Now, be i' resolved, by the Far mers State A !hn:e, in convention as sembled at Hil boro, N. C; "i. That we denounce this action of the Attorney General as unworthy of the great office he holds. "j. That while we recognize the great benefits conferred upon the com monwealth "by railways, as servants of the people, "3. That to prevent this over whelming calamity to North Carolina we urge all citizens of our beloved State to unite regardless of paity ties in demanding the amendment of the lease of the North Carolina Railroad to the Southern Railway company. "4. That we favor a constitutional prohibition of the purchase, lease, or rental of competing or parallel lines of railways, and that the North Carolina Railroad, the Southern Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway, and the Seaboard Air Line be defined as com peting lines. "5. That wc pledge ourselves as Alliancemen and urge all citizens, re gardless of party ties to refuse to vote for any candidate for governor, attorney-general or member of the legisla ture who will not pledge himself to use his best endeavors to secure the en actment of the sentiment of these res olutions into laws."

HOW THE CHAMPION OF DEMOCRACY I IMPRESSES PEOPLE. I His Journey From Nebraska to New ! York-Julian Hawthorne, the (lifted j Novelist and Brilliant Writer tiives a (Iraphlc Pen Picture of the Stal wart and Sturdy Young Standard Bearer His Address, &c. Wilmington Messenger. 1 We have not taken time to read the speech of Mr. Bryan in New York. We wish to study it at leisure. All who read this will probably have read the 1 speech, aud we could not perhaps help any one to a better understanding of it. Whether it was a great speech or no all will determine. The gold press will condemn, will misrepresent, will twist and pervert it after its man ner, and a very bad and dishonest and unfdr manner it is. Bryan is the man of the hour and since he was nominated McKinley has nearly dropped out of the country's thought, and his pet robber tax scheme with him. We may refer to the speech hereafter and many times. The demonstration in New York was a great one no doubt. We are prepared to read in the gold papers that it was a small affair and of no sig nificance whatever. It is very cer tain that theie are some silver folk in Gotham all the same. The entire journey of Bryan from his home in Nebraska to the great commercial city was one of triumph. It was indeed a veritable ovation a mighty outpouring of the people. It was in one sense a triumphal march before the battle was fought and the victory won. The great masses thronged all the stopping places along the route and speech-making and hand shaking well nigh to dislo cation of shoulder went on. What a tremendous hand shaking people the great American conglomerate are. The demonstrations at McKinley's own home were marvelous and unex pected. At Pittsburg the great pro tection, gold-only stronghold the crowds were immense, 40,000 witness ing the reception. There Bryan spoke twice. The gifted novelist, Julian Haw thorne, son of the great Nathansel, was selected by the New York Journal to accompany Mr. Bryan and write up the trip. This he has done in a very graphic and happy style. His articles are so artistically done we would be glad to copy them if in our power to do so. Here is a bit ot his description at Pittsburg. Of Bryan's oratory he wrote: "His is an ideal figure for an orator. His stalwart, broad shouldered pres ence fills and satisfies the eye; his face with its black eye-brows aud strong features, shows the expression afar oil'; indeed Bryan reminds one at times of Edwin Booth aud John McCullough. It is an expression nt once of poignancy and breadth, such as must needs be long to a great actor, but only occa sionuly falls to the lot of a statesman. "Standing square, with au easy swing of the shoulders and a graceful actiou of both arms, alternately or in unison, Bryan made a short but pow erful add re 88, every sentence of which was punctuated with applause. His voice was of admirable quality, deep, clear, resonent, and of great carrying power. He brought out word after word with deliberate emphasis, and the more importaut phrazes were de livered with immense energy, involv ing not merely the arms, but the head and the whole body. lie seemed, in these impassioued momenta, to be ac tuated by a force greater thau his own, yet which found in him a perfect in strument. "In poiut of action Bryan recalls the greatest of living orators, Gladstone. There is the same ease, harmony and variety. But Gladstone had also a gentle, halt playful colloquial vein, which he often employed iu the House with great effect. Bryan, in his short speech, had no time for playfulness. He hammered his truths into his audi ence with strokes as of Thor's ham mer, and they responded with roars and shrieks of approbation." Anyone who knows of Mr. Haw thorne's temperament and character can well confide in his statements while admiring his descriptions or weiehini? his judgments. Here is an- O a - other description of the travel after leaving Chicago: "I confess 1 was not myself prepared for the unmistakable sincerity aud al most passionate enthusiasm which have met Mr. Bryau at every town and village along our route. The demon stration began at the Chicago railway station. A crowd or the employees 01 the road were gathered there, beggiDg for 'Just one kind word, Mr. Bryan,' and wheu one of them called out, 'I was a Republican Hill to-day, but I'll vote for you, Mr. Bryan,' the announce ment was approved with shouts. Throughout the small hours, as the train swept along the noise of shouting rose and died away iu the distance. From unseen throats the greeting was passed ou continuously from station to station, like the fiery cross of the an cient Scottish Highlanders, and the flame of welcome and Godspeed was never suffered to go out. The people came to see Bryan, but he was not a more interesting spectacle to them than they were to us. The mass of them were poor people men iu dirty shirts and bad hats, hairy-armed, rough handed farmers, small store-keepers, day laborers, clerks and tbeir wives, sisters and children. Bareheaded and barefooted many of them; mothers and fathers with babies in their arms. These folks bad stayed up all night to see the silver candidate pass by, to hear the sound of bis voice; perhaps by good luck lo touch his hand, and at sunrise at Fort Wayne, they were mustering by hundreds. The numbers grew as we Dassed on and the stiflng night was succeeded by the sweltering day. They NO. 37. did not assemble thus for their health, not for fun, not for curiosity. You could not look into their multitudi nous, homely faces, pinched and hard ened by U borious days and narrow cir cumstances without feeling that they were in earnest, in desperate earnest." Piobab.y never before in our land has Mich an uprising of the eople lx?en witnessed. When people gather by hundreds in the night to see the train pass swiftly, or sit up all night watch ing and waiting and gather in the mornings by the thousands in the hope of a shake or a glimpse of the Demo cratic standard bearer, it shows interne interest and "means business" mt eagerly.
