Hernia what ex-member of the Lagiglature Stroup.of Gaston, ha9 to say of Judge Schenck'a recent article 5n the lease of the North Carolina Railroad. We clip from the Caiicaian : Iain proud to see the article of 'Lex in vour valuable columns defending the rights ot the people and the State.- We are tired of being tijfm pled under foot by for eign corporations. We want 110 ' such d'-aU as; that perpetrated by the "Soul hern and the Directors of the North Carolina Railroad. Let him eoitt'; again and turn 011 the I light. Stand -by the people and the peoik; will stand by you. ; Keep tlmt matter before. the peo ple, and -it possible- have that deal - get aside. - "Prcilo see it,'' indeed ! It Vis wonder I ui how quick a Populist 'takes to ;i mais who will writ-; for the "Caucasian. By the way, Mr. St rou j was elected hi -1890 as an . Alliance Democrat and sat in the famous Jegishi'ture ;.. of 1891. We learned la t;r '.t hat he got t ired of the 'corruption of both old par (ties aiiU joined the Populists and . the iombination." We never . heard of him trying to do but one ' thing if liia member of the legis lature. Some Gaston county man says Mi "St roup introduced a bill appropriating $500 to see whether cross 'J r; ween a lightning bug and a I e could not be made in or der that the-bee might be furnished with enough light to enable it to i work all night. Mr. Stroup has lfxetirel, e learn, and is now simp j ly "one of the people," having no rgTeatf ! .uhbiti'on thanTto see their rights over against corporate greed vindieatefl' ? OXJ .rilE HICKORY Tlint "'f(tVors6nian Democratic" censor of the Press, the Mercury, ask us several, questions last week. .. We shall try to answer them. . Here .is. one.: ... We '.'rise" to ask the Democrat when pure Democracy first made its appearance ' and whether it ia for gold aud "silver as money or for , a gold basis-'only? Now don't f dodge, please. Give the date, and say yes oino. It wont take imioh of your time7. . If the Mercury-. means to ask when the Democrat made its ap pearance, we would answer that it ; appeared on September 27th, 1895. However, we suppose we should be more nearly correct by saying that pure Democracy made its appear- . ance in this part of the country with the tirst issue of the Mercu ry 1 As to whether we are for gold ' and silver as- money, we answer that we are for gold and silver. Now say its -all not so 1 Here is another : j We 'rise",to ask the Lincoln Democrat, if a man who believes in the free coinage of silver can't be a good democrat, and if the i Democrat would not support such I a man for oDice? - . j k That depends on several things. A Democrat. who believes in free ; ilver a?Ul .nothing else is not a , good Dei iiocraty. The Mercury, is : tot d good Deqiocrat in. fact, no : Democrat akall.. Rut if there are : any Democrats who. -honestly ad ! here to ; !lver:at 16 to lx and still" ; show that they are sound on the other .-docijiiKH- of the party, we J Raleigh paper has had no editori should Jj.i oTiOunce such Democrats als on tlw money question, worth in error and try to convert them, j the while. We would remind the We could vote for. such men if we '; News and Observer once more that had it to do. We rather think we j it is wasting: a great deal of pre shall dr like-the Merc the : nominees ; of. the. party we be long , to. And ye think our cons cience will --be-., about as clear when we do:tJus as will be the (Mercury's when it votes for it votes for so- fre silver men, for ..dd hug" t r ! called Republican who. in turn vote Republicans for ofiice. Now, you hav it. And still another: Rut we will let our steam boat against the Democrat's theological seminary that John Sherman agretg with U9 when we say Cleve land, Carlisle and even the little Democrat, have gone over eoul and body to his (Sherman's) long cherished views on the financial question, and we dare the Demo crat to "rise" and take the I et. We pause for an auswer. We do not believe anything you and John "Sheim n believe in, so far as party principles are con cerned, and you know it. We do not care to go into an argument to show that we are a Democrat, and not a Populist or a Republican, all for your benefit. So far as thi9 paper is concerned, it has long ago found out that there is very little use in trying the force of an argu ment on any paper like the Mer cury. We have aid time and again that if you believe such stuff as the above, you are the veriest hypo crite for fellowshipping and "com bining" with men who follow Sher man's lead. Suppose you think about it that way a little, before you go to accusing those who real ly oppose Sherman of being in league with him. If the above is our position, rou are either dis honest and mean, when you vote for Republicans, or you do not know any better and deserve to be pitied, one of the two. WOfAN vVTVr S031E 0 1IO O AP IIY . A woman writing in last, week's Caucasian about why free silver cannot be had in the Democratic party, says of those who advocate "sound money." an ''honest dol lar," "good money in Europe" etc : Many of them do not know whet her Europe is at the North Pole or the South Pole, or in the bottom of the sea. All they know is to cry aboud as their bosses tell them to cry. Taj king about people being ig norant of Geography and the like remind. us that not long since a Democrat in this County was re lating to a Populist and his wife how the last legislature had ad journed out of respect to the mem ory of Fred Douglas and had failed' to adjourn in memory of George Washington. After the lady had listened to the conversation up to this point, she remarked with a show of apology for the lawmakers of 1895 that she did not know George Washington was dead. She seemed to be much interested in hearing more of him. Now, give us another Geography lesson and we'll tell you some more like this. If you need the names, we can give them. This is no "Democratic lie 1" As to the propriety of a woman being heard in the political dis cussions carried on in the Cauca sian, we shall not now express our opinion. Later reports confirm the ac count of the Rutherford Democrat in regard to Judge Robinson's con duct at Graham court. He left the court room to smoke while a lawyer was addressing the jury. He also sent for cotton to put in his ears to keep from hearing Hon. Kope Elias make a speech to the jury in an important case. There seems to be little dignity about such a court. A The Democrat wishes to publish a list of the names of those people who get the Caucasian and do not pay for it. Democrats who know of such persons will please send in lists. We notice that the Cauca sian, here of late, has .lessened its howling about "Sound Money" literature. We only wish by our course to show up one of the great est and most detestable hypocrites in-the State. We refer to .the Cancasian and its editor. The Progressive Farmer says the News and Observer is getting "weak on" the silver question. We have observed latelv tht. thi the dangers of "fiat money." The 1 , " ic us ugressive , as ever but fhe Observer is.silent ' as to their heresies.

Tiik editor of tliis paper ha no opinion to express at present a to the merits or' demerits of the school book question, as represent ed by the opposing companies operating in this state,. The com munication in another column of this paper is not the opinion ot this paper, and we are in 110 way responsible for the opinions there in expressed. We know nothing personally of the circumstances. We trust that the charges are net well founded. However the inter ests of the children of the county are paramount to the interests of any school book company. We trust our public servants will re- memoer mis ract. as long as this school book matter has a pub lic interest, we shall allow it dis cussed in these columns. It appears that the larger part of the small uumber who approve the President's message are Re publicans. Republicans oulv are reported to have applauded tho message when it was read in Con gress. Caucasian There is a Republican majorily in the present Congress. Let us wait to see how many of the Pres ident's suggestions it will enact into law. We think this will tell the Jtale as to whether the Cauca sian tells the truth or not, and aleo as to the charge whether Cleveland is a Republican or not If he ia a Republican, we do not understand why a Republican Congress would not b eager to act on his sugges tions. Let the record prove how this matter stands. Wk cur the following from the Wilmington Messenger : "Coin," the distinguished" sil ver advocate and debator, has formed a political association called "Patriots of America." Its sole object is the restoration of bi metallism. We learn, too, that this society is a semi-secret one. w e suppose it is a kind of "Gideon's Band," of fragrant memory. The Popu list Party, "The Ri-Metallic league, aim me - ratnots' are all working for 10 to 1. We won der why they do not join C ? 1 iorces. i nere is uanger m so much division. We nhould like to have some suggestion as to which of these three will get the support of the 10 to 1-ers here in North Carolina, who call themselves the Democratic party. The Hickory Mercury lately got off the following: benator Marion Butler made a ppeech before the Rights of Labor a few nights ago. He received an ovasion by the nights for bis kind and sympathetic words. Mr. But ler is at home before any labor or ganization and at all times the la borers friend, and they can well afford to trust him. "Nights of Labor" is good I As tn the "ovasion" and the aympa thetic words," we have no opinion to offer. In view of the recent de cline of the above mentioned or ganization, we are inclined to agree with the Mercury as to its new title- Wonder if the 4sound mon ey" men are responsible for the de cline .of this labor orranization. We entrr a disclaimer 'nights" and ovasions." sgainst When the '90 year railroad lease" was made there waa a howl ef disapproval froji all over the State, the Democratic preas taking an especial part in the proceeds tigt of condemnation But when stepi were taken whiclf indicate a genu ine fight against this deal, notbiug is heard from this press. What's the matter? Passes or what f Caucasian. The insinuation that the Demo, cratic Press can be bought with a few railroad passes, is too meau aud little to be noticed, except to say that Democratic papers have learned enough iu thejast lew years not to help Populist papers raise a smoke to hide behind. So faras wo have observed, e see that al most all the so-called "Reform Papers' published railroad sched ules, and their editors carrv passes as a result. Of course, no Popu list editor world allow his own railroad passes to "gag" him. Only wicked Democrats do the like! Why don't Populists talk about buying the. railroads an lhiv ni to Y Have they "hushed" thnt talk on acconnt ot thoSS It e their editore carrj? u7 va ar riuntYirania. 1 et am int wortis 01 ionffrvs-- - ,...r luaiout aml who uow aQilixU and cancnas with the : Republican!. ,If fntion U k.pt up North Carolina isaarv toicoRf I publican. hlican.

And whatever else a Populist may be, it is plain from the evidence and the facts that no Populist has any very pronounced ayuiptorusof auDemocratic heart' But even doctors ditler, yoo know. Both Democrats and Republi cans are introducing bills f r the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver in Congress. This is a little scheme oy which they have been fooling the people many years They can put in the bills allri$ht; but when .it comet to votiugahl Both parties have been in full power since 1873. Both have vot ed many times on this question nnd tnere is uo free coinage yet. Se? Caucssian. And when do you suppose yoa will get fre coinsge adhering to the policy of ucombiningv to put in office the Republicans who do as you say? You might resurrect yonr Rule of Thro" and goto work. Wo only notice such things as the above to show thoe Demo crat?, ho believe it it good policy to conciliate Populists and make them Indieve they are very nearly right, the utter hypocrisy which prompts the policy of that whole gang. Here is the way the Caucasian talks about those two lonesome Pop who happened to get elected to the legislature of Kontucky : . The Kentu:ky PopulisUnominat ed suite mighty good man lor the recent election, but it is etldent that there were somo third rate fellows up and two of Ibem got elected. Now it it said that one will vote with the Republicans and one with tha Democrats. Theic two old parties are exactly eoual on joint ballot and a division of the to Pops does not change the stai ns. e have no respectable feel ing for this stripo of Ppf, and r;- gsrd them as n dishonor to the party. We shudder to think of the dis honor which must attach to thow Populists of this State who sent a Republican to tho United States Senate by voting for Jetr C. Pntchardl If bolh these Pops will only hold a caucus aud both agree to vote with the Republicsns. then we iupposo they will bo after the "at ripe" of the Caucasian. Let them do this at once that they may relieve themselves of the odium which now attaches to them. Here is what the Southern In dex, published at Rockingham,has to say ahout. a recont visit of Judge Robinson to that town : The Judge's charge to the G rand jury waa a very strouff one. and not so tedious as thev anerllv are; but admirably interspersed wiui tne richest humor. The Judge has a rich vein of humor running through him, and can tell an Irish joke to the rarwU perfec tion. In his charge to.the Grand Jury, the Judge was very severe (and has manifested it iu nearly every case before him) on thoae of our citizens who are addicted to profane language. Que opprobri ous epithet in particular, he troaU as the gravest of all cardinal sins, and as justifying almost any kind of an assault. Jt was amusing to see how nearly every defendant managed to accuse the other fellow of using it. We have heard that Judge Rob inson is not very careful about his language on all occasions. We lately learn that he is profane on the slightest provocation. The abovH sounds rather queer iu riv of these facts. Literary IVote.
