Mr.. Cleveland Seventy.
Concord Tribune.

concord tribune.
Our only living ex-president, Mr.
Grover Cleveland, is now seventy
years of age. Commenting on this
event the Baltimore Sun says:
At the age of 20 Mr.. Cleveland can look
back upon a public career almost unique
in this country. He had reached middle
life before the people of the country be-
yOnd his own locality ever heard of him.
He happened, a quarter of century ago
to be nominated by the Democrats for
Governor of New York because of the
good record he had made as the Mayor
OF Buffalo. Because of Republication
Generalization that year there was a
landslide and he was elected Governor
by an enormous majority. That major
ity and his record as Governor made him
and he was elected over the most brilliant
and popular man in the Republican
party. Until his election to the Presi-
dency Mr.. Cleveland had never taken any
part in Federal affairs He had never
served term in Congress. and had, so
far as the people knew, never concerned
himself in national questions. The con-
duct of his first administration was such
that his party nominated him twice af
terward and elected him once. No man
except Andrew Jackson and Cleveland
ever got three and two elections to the
Presidency.
All the people of this great land
will join together in a wish and hope
that Mr.. Cleveland may live yet many
years of happy peaceful life. He has
gotten a great deal out OF life and
will continue so long as he lives.

~ofTle three years ago number OF

=, big change was to be made in the
"oprietary medicine business, that the

to give to the public the very best rer.-

This enabled The United Drug Gem
rany to escape the heavy charges fer
advertising and other expenses such as
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, It i12---Tes

North Carolina and the Railroads
Charlotte Observer.

|
The Progressive Farmer we'll de-
scribes the most crying grievance OF
the public against the railroads.
'Not only did the managers Of many
of the great transportation lines
charge higher rates than they right
fully should" it says, "but-what
was wOrse-they set themselves to
kill and to make alive; to build up
this town which the railway mag
mates favored (possibly because in it
they owned much property, and to
discriminate against and injure other
towns The South especially has
suffered much in this respect. A ship
per from Cincinnati said to US few
days ago: Sanford, N. c., is twenty
eight miles nearer to me than New
York, but the freight rate on my
goods to New York is 23h cents and
| to Sanford S3h cents And SO the
real freight problem is not to lower
rates, but to equalize them, to pre-
vent the determinations that build
certain sections and pull down
Others"
tions given over to other sections to
be exploited, is at last fully alive to
this truth, the Observer is glad to
say. We have already likened the
treatment of this State by the rail
roads to the hard lot of the stepchild
in the fairy tale; we are happy to add
that the stepchild is in revolt. Some
relief is to be expected from the ex-
cellent Holt rate law, but this mat
ter is primarily one of interstate
commerce and the Legislature cannot
strike directly at the root OF the evil.
What it can do is to hip the big sys-
TENS wherever they are vulnerable
until, by process Of clubbing, they
are forced to grant justice. The
roads have had fair notice that North
Carolina does not propose to remain
the victim of outrageous discrimina-
ton, and if something is not done
before the next Legislature meets
there will be day Of reckoning.
However sulky the spoiled children
may prove at the prospect of some
thing likeequal treatment all around,
any disagreeableness on their part is
less to be dreaded than the righteous
Indignation of the people of North
Carolina. The railroads cannot af-
ford to ALLEVIATE the great iustice-lov-
ing public when their enemies, honest
and dishonest have vowed their ill.,
Jury. Patience is fast ceasing to be
a virtue. As one OF the already suf-
ficiently few disinterested friends left
to the big systems in North Carolina
the Observer would earnestly advise
them to address themselves to this
matter without further delay.
