Commend US to Grover Cleveland
for saying the right thing in the
right way and at the right time.
There is no rhodomantade in any of
his utterances; he is not brilliant,
skY scraping orator, but in practical
craftsmanship and solid wisdom he
has eyer been surpassed by any
President of the United States.
Some men say many brilliant things
and equally as many foolish things,
but Cleveland does neither. because
he says what is the right thing. All
of his utterances from the time he
was elected Mayor of Buffalo to his
speech at Richmond, Va, have
shown as much wisdom as any pub.
lie man in the United States could
have exhibited under 30 many
varied and important occasions. Mr.,
Cleveland's recent speech at Har-
ward has attracted much attention.
On such occasions it has been the
cdstom of the speakers at Harvard
to make it appear that there was no
success in life without a classical
education. But MIR, Cleveland sta
ted that education neither makes nor
unmakes a man. He regretted that
he had not been favored with a
classical education, but significantly
alluded to the fact that O. the twen-
ty one Presidents only twelve had
collegiate education. After all, ed
ucation is but so many tools gathered
for Lies work. If the N an does
not know how to use them the variety
Of his implements are in his way.
Mr.. Cleveland appropriately alluded
to the fact that colledges did not
make Presidents. This is illustrated
by the career of Andrew johnson,
Men who graduated ut Harvard sunk
into oblivion, but so soon as the
uneducatsd tailor of Greenville
came into contact with the world ht
washed out like a diamond. 1t has
been said with great force that the
man who succeeds is he who can
handle the materials next him; who
can forge out OF unpromising matter
and in upropitious circumstance!
that which will prove of value t.
him. The world judges of act by
the fact that he does it. Whether
he accomplishes it with or without 8
college education cuts no figure. A
college life lasts but four years, anC
unless a man Las supplemented i
be further study, it has all passed
out Of his head at the age of 40
while the greatest succ esses, in the
maj GRITTY of cases, are attained after
that age. In short, a COLLEGE educo-
ton is siAply IN the nature of {
! good start III life. If a man canno
supplement it, or fails to keep W
with the procession, he loses. That i.
all there is of it - Appeal

that fully two-thirds of the seats in

Tbs cotton seed oil monopoly,
alias the American Cotton Oil Trust
Company, continues its work of tax
ing all the oil mills in the South
within its grasp until it is now
practically withoutout rival. Much
! talk has been indulgedasin concerning
the bert way to circumvent this most
Infamous monopoly, but talk accom-
plishes nothing and we have not yet
heard feasible plan proposed. Any
thing like unity of action on the
part of cotton planters it Is almost
hopeless to expect. Concerted action
if it could be had, would of coUrse
be Immediately effective, but organ
ization for their own protection is
something it seems which the farmers
cannot learn: Picked, feeced and
oppressed by every character of
monopoly, and feeling and realizing
the source of the evils from which
they suffer, it seems impossible to
bring them to make anything like the
the proper effort to rid themselves
Of them. The difficulty, perhaps,
does not lie so much with the farmers
as with the nature of the case. 1t is
a difficult matter to secure perfect
accord or com bined effort on the
part of a class so numerous and so
widely scattered, But difficult as
it is, the necessity, sooner or later,
will be forced upon them. This
American Cotton OIL Trust Compa
ny, by reaching cut its Brlareus
arms and seizing upon all the mills
in the South, has made the price or
cotton seed dependent upon Its ipse
dixit alone, 1t proposes TO regula tie
both the price of the seed which it
buys and the oil which it sells, ae
cording to its own wishes. 1t will
ARBITRARILY mark down the price OF
seed and as arbitrarily mark up the
price of the oil. 1t thus reverses the
natural rule that would decrease the
price Of the article in proportion to
the decrease IN the cost Of manufac-
ture, while it reaps an increased
profit and swlndles the public both
in buying and selling The much
abus,d Standard Oil Company was
never a worse monopoly than the
Cotton Oil Trust Company, which
has so faithfully coDied its methods
and followed M ats footsteps
lcan.

The Ohio Valley Railroad COmpa-
ny has submitted a proposition to
the city of Jackson to build their
road to that city provided the latter
will give 1925, 900 to the enterprise.
The proposition will be Submitted
to a vote of the people of the city
at an early day, and it will no
doubt, be csrrisd overwhelming y
Jackson already has two good roads,
but she feels the need of additional
Railroad faculties, and is willing to
pay for them. The people Of that
enterprising city know what it takes
to make a city in these times OF
railroads, and they do not stand
back because fhcney is needed to
secure future prosperity Would
We could say as much of our own

elect Cleveland in 1888 against
Blame or any other Republican can
didate, and 1t can eject him more
easily than it did in 1884, 1t can
elect him because Mr., Cleveland has
