THE PLAIN ISSUE
THE INTERSTATE RATE DOES
 FIGURE IT. ARGUMENTS.
Business Man Declares Fight is Whether Georgia or Alabama Rate Shall Prevail and
 Compares Basis.

Said a gentleman this morning from q prominent business point in Alabama: Had not the people better pause befole e lending ear to the partisan crusade now being made against the railroads of t;ie State After all we must in fairness ad-
 init that the railroads are not public enemies. and have contributed much 10 the upbuIlding of Alabama. While so much abuse Is being indulged in, let us be fair enough to give credit where 1t is due
 This whole fight seems to be whether we shall swap off Alabama freight rates
 for Georgia rates. I must say that I should not be willing to make the ex- change. We are told that we must not confuse interstate rates with local rates; that the interstate rates have nothing to do with this question. But the man who pays the freight can hardly see it in that light. It Is perfectly plain that the local freight paid by the consumer is the sum of the interstate rate and the local rate to the point of consumption. Then why doesn't the interstate rate cut any figure? Indeed, 1t is the largest part of the transportation charges. Now 1t is well known that the railroads control their own interstate rates, and that tne ruling of no State Railroad Commission can effect these. Is 1t not perfectly nat ural that the roads should at once ai- vance their interstate rate to meet any loss of revenue from cut in purely To- cal rates? That is just what was done in Georgia and what has been done ct- anywhere else where heavy cuts have been made in the focal rates; and 1t is an uncontrovertlble fact that today the consumer of the necessities of life pays less in Alabama than in Georgia Then why make the change? You may give me every time a low interstate rate and a high local rate. rather than a low local and q high interstate; and I will make more money in business than the merchant doing business under the re- verse circumstances.
 After all. who would profit by the tow local rate in Alabama. for the reason that we produce next to nothing for shipment originating and ending in the State. except coal. the local rates on which I am told are lower than in any other Southern State. The farmer in Alabama who raises an over-plus of me't and corn, does not ship 1t any where on railroad. He sells 1t to lis in his own county who has 10 buy, and the railroads never see 1t. T:le corn and meat and other things that travel on railroad come from distrib- uting points out of the State and the consun CT of these pays the interstate rate to the distributing point in Alabama and then the local rate to the point of consumption, which is an aggregate lcss than the Georgla consumer pays.
 This Is business question and should be settled in 2 business way. and we should not be swept off our feet in a fruitiess rush after somethinE cheaper"

Many Matters Considered by Druid
 City Fathers.
 Tuscaloosa, March 3-(Special. 1.-The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen was held in the Council chamber last evening. Much time was given to the discussion of the artesian well matter. A number of bids were received. and 1t was found that the lowest was $2.5O per foot for eight inch pipe, and $2.25 for six inch pipe. A number of letters hau been received asking for more information and others requesting more time to make bids, so the question was deferred.
 It was agreed to sell to Strickland Bros. a lot near the Mobile and Ohio depot for $1OO on which to erect a ma chine shop. provided the firm erect a s2O 900 plant within twelve months.
 Messrs. Ryan and Weatherford made their report in regard to the paving of avenue with slag and chert If was learned that excluding the ex- pense of the freight. that the work would cost S5 a square yard making a total of s15 600 to complete the work. The amount was considered too large and no action was taken.
 After the discussion of several other matters of minor importance the board adiourned, after the reading of the dis peneaFy report, which was as follows: Profits since Jan. l, 1904, $A,7S6.a; sales

 The former President mover looked in better health than he does today. Beyond tho social relations he and his family Raintain with what Is known as the university set" he goes out but little, spending his time in his library, reading and writing.
 He is known to be keenly interested in the Russo-Japahese war, but in reply to a question today answered:
 Tt is unfortunate that conflicting re- ports do not permit us to get clear idea of what Is actually occurring. 1t Is too soon for us to know"
 Of the international relations with the Isthmus and South America he spoke only in the most general terms.
 l see no reason to maintain a diff ferent opinion now from the one I held at the time the Venezuelan message was written,' he said. "I have always be- lieved that the attitude of the United States toward the countries of South America having a similar form of gov ernment should he patient and consid- crate. rather as a leader than as any thing else. When at another time for eign nations sought to enforce the col lection of claims against Nicaragua 1t will be remembered the United States came forward with strong assurances that at the proper time the claims would be paid. and 1t will be further remem- bered that the claims were paid
 ''In our attitude of leader, therefore, 1t is the bounden duty of our government to see to 1t that nothing shall arise to interrupt tho friendly relations existing between the United States and the South American governments. When anything of the kind does arise it is most unfortu- nate"
 Mir Cleveland declined, to discuss the present situation in the Democratic party.
