on a consideration of the amendments
to the railroad rate bill under the fif

was devoted to Lodges provision bring

the bill and it was ultimately unani-

Ill as to exclude water lines from lis
operation, thus practically contining

roll calls, but neither was of import

while action on the other question OF
confining The provision to oil lines
was practically nulliiied by the sub
sequent elimination of gaa and water

was so amended as to make 1t applt-

Fremont's Neglected Grave.

It is likely that one of the results OIL
the Republican jubilee in Philadelphia
this week will be a movement to erect
a fitting monument over the neglected
grave of General John Charles Fremont
on the banks of the Hudson. few
miles above the city of New York. The
Philadelphia celebration. falling on
the 50th anniversary Of that first Re-
publican national convention which
named Fremont for the presidency,
calls attention to the unpleasant fact
that no memorial has ever been erect
ed above the last resting place of the
man who was the popular idol of half
n century ago. The neglect is by no
means to be charged solely to the
great rarty which Fremont led in its
first national campaign. Fremont be-

Our Seventh President.

OF Irish parents, Andrew Jackson,
seventh President of the United States
of America, was born March 10, 1867,
in the Province of North Carolina, not
a quarter of mile from the boundary
line of South Carolina.
And strange thing connected with
this fact is that Andrew Jackson al
ways supposed himself to have been
born in South Carolina; but in this he
was mistaken, for 1.-The traditions of
the neighborhood," says one of Jack
sons biOgraphers, supported by 4
great mass of indisputable testimony,
point to q spot in North Carolina but 4
stones throw from the line that di-
vides it from South Carolina as the
birthplace of Andrew Jackson"
When the Jacksons came. poor Irish
emigrants, to this new land the priva-
tions to be borne by the pioneers
proved no hardship to them, for their
poverty had been so abject in the old
country that no condition in this could
De worse In fact, all about them
smiled promise of plenty in the vast
region of field and forest.
But Just as the toll Of his hands was
beginning to show some returns An
drew Jackson, the father of the sub
ject of this sketch, sickened and died.
And few nights following this sad
event his poor widow gave birth 10
sOn-WhOm she called Andrew, i'm men,
DRY of his departed father-at the home
of relatives, who, true to the hos
pitable pioneer spirit of those times,
opened their home and hearts to the
woman in Sucn sore distress.
And i'm this home of his uncle little
Andy" as he was nicknamed, passed
the first dozen years of his life, for his
mother could never make up her mind
to return to the rude log-cabin home
which the death of her husband had
left so desOlate.
AS soon as the child was old enough
he was, with his brothers and cousins.
sent to school to be made scholar"
The school they attended was the kind
then so common in the South, called a
Subscription school," the parents of
the pupils paying to the schoClm2ster
n small fee per head. And the school
master in return impaired learning to
his scholars by means of hickory
"gad." The SchOOlhOuSe was long,
low cabin, under whose ridgepole n tall
man was obliged to stoOp, and which
he'd neither floor nor windows. About
4 great, wide fireplace that occupied
almost one end of the cabin huddled
the pupils on rude benches, coming
their lessons aloud.
And thus the little Andy grew strong,
mischicvous and reckless, loving the
wild sports and Ofttimes wilder fights
engaged in by his comrades. He also
became most formidable foe, fearing
| no boy of his own size or larger, for
nothing of the coward was in his fiber.
In appearance he was far from pro-
possessing. At Is he stood six feet and
one inch in his stockings. but his great
height was ungainly owing to the pro-
| nounced thinness of his frame. His
| features We're strong and marked by
what is vulgarly called lantern jaws"
His hair was Il thick, coarse, sandy
shock that stood up over his mead i'm a
stubborn fashion. But his eyes were
clear, shrcwd and admirable. being a
deep blue in color.

Republican VS.. Democratic Admins
tration

Mayor Plaisted in a speech before
the Democratic State convention at
Bangor made passing reference to the
great beef scandal. He forgot 10 note,
however, the fact that worse conditions
than have been unearthed by the recent
investigation, existed under the Cleve-
land administra ton. and were per-
mitted TO continue untroubled. 1t re-
maine! for a Republican administra-
ton to unearth these conditions and a
Republican Congress to enact the legis-
lation that would remedy them. Let
the readers of the Journal keep sight of
this fact. Does any single one of them
remember an instance during the eight
years that Grover Cleveland and the
Democratic party were in power in this
country, when any great corporation in
the whole United States was brought to
task for abuses affecting the welfare
of the American people? If there
was an instance of this kind, we con-
fess that it has entirely escaped our at
tention The people will not be de-
ceived by sonorous platitudes, such as
Democratic office seekers are INDUCING
in at the present time.
They know to their own satisfaction
that the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt is nearer the heart of the
American people, has been more fear
less, more courageous and more practi-
cal in its solving of great public prob
lens than any other in the last half
century, and when the voters of Name
go to the polls next September, they
will sustain President Roosevelt and
majority that will be the strongest
kind Of an endorsement for the grand
work he has already accomplished. as
well rs the work ne has now in hand
and which every true citizen knows
will be carried through without COM
promise, to an issue that will subserve
the highest interests of all the citizens
of our Republic.
The people Of Maine are an intelligent
and a reading people. They will not
