TREATIES NOT ACTED ON.

Washington. February 2.-After a
discussion of more than an hour the
Senate committee on foreign relations
today adjourned without reporting the
arbitration treaties between the
United States and several European
governments, but with prospects for
an early agreement. Senator Bacon
again urged the adoption of amend
ments that we're made by the Senate
to the Onley -P~aucefote treaty in order
to guard the interests of States, bu-
these were opposed by the Republic
can members of the committee.
1t IS said that the committee finally
will agree to an amendment requiring
that every claim to be arbitrated un-
der the treaties must first De submit
ted to the Senate. Senator from
Southern States who have opposed the
treaties because of the effect they
might possibly have on repudiated

GIVE THE PATENT MEDICINES 4
SHOW.

There has been introduced in the leg
islature a bill which should be care
fully looked into. We have not yet
seen the full ext Of the bill, but from
what has been published regarding
its purport, we think it a meaSure
which should be carefully looked into
before it is made a law. 1t is the bill
regarding the sale Of patent medicines
in this state. AS we understand the
measure it imposes a license tax on
every dealer in the sale of patent med
icines. This may be all right. We can
not say that such men should not IT,
required to pay a license tax, especial
ly so long as meC engaged in every
other kind OF. business have to pay such
privilege tax But the most objectionl-
bic feature of the bill is that which
provides that all patent medicines Of
Tered for sale in his state shall be
submitted to the board of health ana
shall not be sold in this state until ap-
proved by that board. This is putting
too much arbitrary power in the hands
of this board. This board is composed
of physicians of the a1opathic school
CT men who are we'll known to be OPP
POSED to the use of ali kinds of pat
ent medicines. It is against the general
ethics of their school to c~ountenance
the use of such medicines. 1t does not
seem right to put in the and of these
men the uncontrolled power to say
what patent medicines shall be sold
in his state and what ones shall not
be sold. 1t is putting too much power
in the hands of the avowed enemies
of the entire patent medicine system.
The legislature should go slow in pass
ing any such law. The interests of
the manufacturers of patent medic,nes
of now standard quality should DC
guarded against professional prejudice
of the professional. men who are to oC-
cupy the position of judges in passing
upon the question Of permission of their
sale in our state. We hope our legis-
lature will give this matter due consi0-
Grafton and let all persons interested
be heard. Quack medicines and worth
less or harmful nostrums should not
he allowed sale in the state, but fair
showing should be given to patent med
icines of recognized standing.

Representative RedWine a introduce
ed h following bills, which were re-
ferred to the proper committees: To
amend the road law of his county so
as to require election of road commits
sioners by vote OF the people; 70 estab-
lish a reformatory for criminal youths;
to establish indian Trial school district;
to take J. F. Gordon out Of Wesley
Chapel school district.
The above, from The Monroe journal
shows to what absurdity is carried the
matter Of private legislation before the
present assembly, Further-If Mr.. j.
F. Gordon, of the wesley Chapel
school district wants to get out of the
clutches of the committee of hat dis
trict why does he not move over into
some other district, or if the commit
tee is holding him and his family Gin
to a judge of the superior court for a
writ of habeas corpus to secure the lib
Grafton of himself and family, instead
of having the legislature pass a special
act for his liberation? One would sup
pose that the Wesley Chapel school
committeeman were enforcing the prin-
ciple of compulsory education against
Mr.. Gordon and his entire household.
The truth is there arc many men in the
legislature who have to Introduce some
kind of bills and have the fact publish
ed in their county paper else their
constituents will think they are not
earning their four dollars a day. 1t is
this idea which causes so many non-
sensical bills to find their way on our
statute books.

ROOSEVELT AND THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Rooseveit's most determined po-
liticaI opponents ann charge him
with ever talking only for Jbuncombe.
When ne says a thing he means 1t.
There is no doubt that many democrats
have entirely changed their opinion
OF he man since the late election. The
whole country has come to believe him
to be sincere and in earnest. The peo-
pie cannot doubt his desire to act for
the good of the whole country-to make
himself the president Of the entire peo-
pie. When he declares an intention to
act along a certain line the people have
come to believe that he will endeavor
to the fullest extent of his personal
ability and his official powers to carry
out such declared purpose. He has de-
clared that the interstate commerce
commission should be granted fuller
powers in the control of interstate
traffic on the railroads. No one who
has followed Mr.. Roosevelt's career in
the last few years, or who has studied
his character can but feel that he Will
do all in his power to accomplish this
me He may be thwarted for awhile
by IN opposition clique in his party,
but we feel sure that he will come out
victorious in the end in the interest of
the people. AS we said above Mr..
Roosevelt is not a man who talks for
bun combe. What he says he means
and he is never afraid to say what ne
fhinHC DHharn1nrn whofaxzo1. ha cave
no matter where sald or under whaG
circumstances, is of interest to ne
people. We believe Mr.. Roosevelt las
the interest of the masses of the Amer.
car people at heart. We believe ne is
opposed to the grinding down and or
preston by the trusts and monopolistic
combinations Of capital. He has shown
it in his acts and in his many utter
ances, never more clearly han in the
following words uttered by him in his
speech to the Union League club of
Philadelphia the other night, when ne.
said:
In some such body as the interstate
commerce commission there must be
lodged in effective shape the power to-

80 far as it is humanity possible to
give and to get justice-is the founda-|
ton of our government. We are not
trying to strike down the rich man; on
the contrary, We will not tolerate any

It seems that Asheville is to have her
electric railway over the mountains
after all. This scheme is about to ma
terialize If what we see in The Manu-
facturers' Record be true. That paper

c., and Warsaw, Ind, who is president
of the Estatoe Electric Company, of

hopes to have construction started

vile and Mfcaviile. The road will be
about so miles long, and an electric To-
connective will be used to move the
rains. A survey has been made, and

10 days. The railroad will provide an
outlet for the mineral product Of the
region which it pe~netrates. A franchise

Mr.. Carnegie is opposed to the traffic
in liquors and he carries his principles
into his business as the following Pitts
burg dispatch shows:
Nothing which will give him an inter-
est in the liquor traffic will be touched
by Andrew Carnegie. The head Of a
large concern in Pittsburg has just
returned from New York, where he
went to see Mr.. Carnegie about erecting
a hotel there larger and grander than
any in the city. He was told by Mr..
Carnegie that while he thought such a
building would make great returns f.
nancially, he would have nothing to
do with it. since it would be necessary
to have a liquor license in the hotel
and ne would lot lend his name or
none to anything connected with that
trade"
Mr.. Carnegie is very different from
some of u strong temperance advo-
Gates down this way who are ardent
opponents of the traffic in whiskey so
long as it affects the business of other
persons, but are willing to take their
profits on the business when it is con-

Beat Jay Gould in q Trade.

Louis Houck, a contractor from Mis-
souri,, is at Washington, says The New
York World, and the Missouri men at
the Capitol point to him as the only
man who ever beat the late Jay Gould
in a trade. Houck was building a rail-
road in southeastern Missouri. He con-
tracted with Gould for a quantity of old
rails Gould had been using on the Iron
Mountain road. The rails were to be
delivered at a certain time. Houck laid
them. and when Gould demanded pay
refused it, basing his refusal on. the
breach of contract by Gould. Suit was
brought, and Houck won by proving
that h rails were not delivered on
time. Gould was told to take his rails,
but he decided it would not be worth
while to tea them up, and Houck kept
them and probably has got them yet.

AN OUTRAGEOUS PROCEEDING.

A few days ago a resident of Rich
rested on the charge of having commit
ted a murder in Columbia, s. C. He
was taken In charge by a man who
was anxious to secure the reward offer
ed for the arrest Of the man who had
done the deed, taken to Columbia, where
after clearly proving that he was not
out a cent in his pocket and told that
ne could get back home the best way he
could. But for the kindness of the
sheriff of Richmond county he would
have had nowhere to sleep the night
after his discharge or to ecure a meal.
The last we heard of this man he was
in the.cfty of Columbia, a hundred miles
away from his home. without means TO
return and with no money to procure
food or lodging. This is a most outrd-
geous case. 1t does seem that a man
so treated should have some redress.
If he went to South Carolina willingly
there should have been made some pro-
vision for his return at no cost to him
self. If he was forced to go it amounts
to a case of kidnapping and the author
tiles of this state should look into the
matter. This man has rights which he
can call upon the state to enforce aid
if he has suffered unjustly at the hands
of officers of the law of another state
his grievance should be taken up by
our state officers. Because he is poor,
and perhaps without friends to chain
pion his course is no reason why he
should be subjected to such treatment
or be deprived of redress. The rich aid
the influential can take care of them
selves. The laws are for the special
protection of such men as this one. y
great outrage under semblance of law
has been committed and the law shou d
vindicate itself by redressing the
wrongs Of his humble citizen.
