DO THEY WANT THE EARTH

The railroads have punctured in the
Interstate Commerce Commission law
Until it has been deprived of all it's pow
err except the power to call public at
tention to discrimination, collect statis-
tics and pay the salaries of the Commits
sioners. Bills are pending in Congress
to increase the power of this important
Commission, but nobody supposes any of
these bills will get beyond the pigeon
holes. Full of railroad owners and rail-
road attorneys, who are more inter sted
in the railroads than in legislation, Con-
gress will do nothing toward proper regu-
lation until the people emphaticGlly de-
mand positive action, and back up their
demand by threat to senf Aambers
of Congress into retirement. That is not
now in sight and therefore no remedial
legislation may be expected at this ses-
sion.
Having made it impossible for the bills
to enlarge the powers of the Inter State
>
the railroad ought to be satisfied without
demanding legislation in their interest,
but it seems that they want the earth,
and are pressing for the passage of the
Elkins' bill. Commenting on that bill and
the attitude of the railroads, the Atlanta
Journal says:
''Yet strange as it may appear the rail-
roads are Urging the passage by Con-
sress of the Elkins BILL which expressly
gives them the power to legally make
agreements among themselves for a di-
vision of the traffic of the country to
the end that after the shortest and quick
est line between any two points has
hauled all the traffic that the pooling
agreement calls for the pool may, con-
trary to the express terms of its bill of
lading given to q shipper binding it for
valuable consideration to carry his
freight, turn it over to the longest and
most indirect route FOR delivery without
regard to the desire or interest of the
shipper who pays its charges This means
just as long delays in making deliveries
as the interests of the roads may die
tate no matter how hard it bears on their
customers.
Nothing can be conceived of that
would be more mischievous in its effects
on all the agricultural, manufacturing and
commercial interests of the country than
to legalize suc1 agreements.
"When money is invested in freight,
and debts are to be paid by the pro-
ceeds of it's sale, the person sending and
the person that is to receive 1t have the
right in all equality to as speedy deliv-
cries as can be made by the road which
agrees to carry it and his right TO Sc
lect the quickest route is equally strong,
and he ought not to be subjected to the
delays necessitated by its being carried
by the line that is known TO be the most
indirect and slowest that can. be Sc
looted. !"

THE FOTRTH AT GUILFORD
BATTLE GROUNDS.

b The celebration of the Fourth of july
at Guilford Battle Ground is always the
chief event of that patriotic day in North
Carolina.
The celebration this year is to De of
particular interest. The grafton will be
delivered by Thomas NJ. Pittman. Esq, a
leading member of the Henderson bar
No man in North Carolina has been u
closer student of North Carolina history
and his historical papers already publish
ed have permanent value. To legal abili-
he adds literary taste and talent as we'll
as the gift of eloquence. His subject,
Nathaniel Macon--'the noblest Roman
OF them ALL" is one that has the deepest
interest for North Carolinans. The ora
ton will be worthy the great statesman
ard the occasion.
The first monument ever erected to
woman in North Carolina will be unveil-
ed 1t is monument to Mrs. Kerenhap-
puch Turner, OF Maryland. OF her Col.
Joseph NJ. Moor ehead writes:
"She rode horseback from her home in
Maryland and in a cabin near the battle
ground nursed to recovery badly
wounded son. The modern ice-packing,
as l understand it, was adopted, as Mrs.
Turner suspended a vessel from the
rafters above, from which fresh spring
water was allowed to drop upon the
wound, and its bandages. Knowing that
the impending conflict between Greene
and CORVALLIS must soon take place,
Mrs. Turner probably awaited the battle
at the home of her daughter then living
in North Carolina"

Spirit of the Press.

THEY LEAD, BUT FEW FOLLOW.
Asheville Citizen.
The railroads are not leading in this
opposition Ito Judge Clark. Raleigh
Post.
This is, indeed, news.
If the railroads are not leading the
fight, then under what circumstances,
pray, could they be said to lead it?
Did not the Southern first get Judge
Clarks letters from Russell when its at
torney, the Hon. Fab. Busbee, was vol
unteering" his services in behalf of the
impeached judges?
Did he not, according to Russells state
lnent and his own confession, show the
letters around" from that time till their
publication a few months ago?
Has not the Post itself, which is re-
cognized as the Southern organ in this
State, kept up persistent fire on Judge
Clark from the time it came into exist
Gnce to the present day?
Was not the first open newspaper at
tack on Clark published in that paper
by the Hon. Henry Page, who dipped in
his oar to point out errors in Judge
Clarks decisions and tell us what the
law ought to be?'
Was this lead not promptly followed
up by Major Wilson, a lifelong and
faithful retainer of the Southerns?
Then did not the Hon. Fab. Busbee,
the Southern's attorney. again appear ac
companied by the Hon. Bill Day, the
Seaboafd's attorney, as bearers of a let
ter from Ex-Governor Russell to Judge
Clark, asking about publication of the
Russell Clark correspondence?
Then did lot the Post interview Rus
sell in an attempt to disprove Judge
Clark's statements and all the while keep
up the fight on Clark?
Has not Mr.. Henry Page. president Of
a railroad, only recently made his third
advent, as writer and humorist, in an
other attack on Judge Clark, and is not
every law agent of the Southern,
even now, going around over the State
talking about Judge Clark?
If, under these circumstances, the rail
roads cannot be said To be taking lead
ership in the fight, we'd really like to
know what it would be necessary for them
to do.
AS matter of fact the railroads start
ed the fight and are keeping it up That
they are leading in it, the Post itself is
evidence, but fortunately for the State
and Judge Clark they have few followers.

Most of the counties will delay making
legislative nominations until August or
September, but some will hold only one
convention and name their county can
didates at the same time tna1 they elect
delegates to the State Convention.
The most important officers to be cho-
sen his year are the Senators and as
there are only fifty in the Senate it is
the body that the railroads and other
quasi public corporations wish to control.
They are even now making an attempt to
secure the nomination of enough thick
and thin railroad men to give them the
control of the upper house in North Car
DINA.
Grave and important measures affecting
quasi-public corporations will come be-
fore the next Legislature. There is
rarely any probability that special in
terests can control the House OF Rep
resentatives. 1t is only necessary to
have twenty-siX Senators to kill all leg
islation. In certain counties work has
already begun to formulate sentiment in
favor of candidates who will do the bid
ding of the railroads. In others attempts
are being made, quietly and without at
tracing attention, to nominate men who
can be relied upon to do what the rail
roads want done.
Let the people be on their guard, scan
the record of every candidate for the
State Senate closely, and nominate none
but safe and fair men whose first and
only obligation is to do justice to all
the people and to all corporations.

DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE SOUTH

The best people of the South and the
North deplore acts of lawlessness, no
matter by whom committed There is a
town named Ell Dorado, in Illinois. in
dustrial Institute, modelled on Booker
Washington's school, has been establish
ed. The white people were so hostile to
the school that the trustees of the school
are thinking about removing it. A spe-
cial from Carbonton says:
1.-The teachers and pupils have fled
from the place, fearing mob violence.
The first commencement exercises We're
to have been held tomorrow, but the
buildings have been deserted, the win
dows smashed in and other damage in
fiicted President Alstone and his family
are supposed to be in Cairo
No charge of disorderly conduct has
been made against the school. The only
basis of histility seems to be that the
school is for negroes. Contrast the ac-
ton of the people of Eel Dorado, Illinois.
with that of the people of Raleigh. North
Carolina. In addition to the public
schools for negroes. the Baptist Mission
Board and the Episcopal Mission Society
each maintain large school for the ne
groes in this city. There has never been
any friction caused by these schools.
The people of Raleigh have no feeling
toward them except of good will and
kindliness, and are incapable of the con-
duct displayed in Illinois.
The Southern people are the truest and
best friends of the negro as some Incl
dent every day demonstrates.

THE PEOPLE WANT NO TRADING IN
OFFICES.
Nashville Graphic.

One of the things that made the Fusion
lists stink in the nostrils of the people
was the shameless manner in which EEL
lows of the baser sort" traded and traf-
ficl1ed IN the Offices of the people. The
only way that many of the men in office
il, that period of our history were elected
was by the most disreputable dickering
and trading in the votes of the people
that this State has ever seen. 1t was
largely because of this condition of af-
fairs that the people rose ZIP as one man
and hurled these fiCe-traders from
office. The people want no trading in Of
fee. They believe that each candidate
should stand or fall on his own merritt

1t will, l believe, serve to arouse the
smaller towns especially, to a fuller
sense of their duty in the matter of pub
lie education. Doubtless it will be a
strong factor in causing several towns
which do not have graded schools at
present to establish them.

A MORNING TONIC.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to

To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted

The way TO dusty death. Out, out brief

Lies but a walking shadow, a poor
player
That struts and frets his hour upon the
stage.
And then is heard no more; it is tale
Told by an idiot. full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
