A CONTRAST IN AMBASSADORS
Difference in Style of Living of Am
bassadors Reid and Bryce.

English society is criticising our
Ambassador, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, for
his magnificent hospitality" during
the last London season. These simple
English folk, while they partakee of
Mr. Reid's magnificent hospitality,
consider it inappropriate and preten-
tious for an Ambassador TO give en-
tertainments which rival in splendor
those of the King and Queen. Mr.
Reds friends reply that he Is not put
ing on any extra style, but simply liv-
ing as he lived in New York and as
married the daughter of Mr.. D. O.
Mills, one Of SOnFrancisco's million
aires now living in New York. When
he was appointed ambassador TO the
Court of St. James Mr.. Reid took
Dorchester house, one of the most
magnificent mansions in London. and
has lived there and entertained in a
style of splendor which London has
never seen before except, perhaps, in
one of the royal palaces. There are
many Englishmen with far greater
wealth than Mr.. Reid, or even than his
father-inlaW, Mr.. Mills. But it IS
not the custom among these rich Eng
lIShmen to spend their money in this
O6tentattOus manner, and they seem
to consider it vulgar. 1t is all very
well for Mr.. Reid to spend a pot of
gold upon party or a dinner, but is it
appropriate for the representative of
Il republic where the people are sup
posed to be plain and unpretentious
and hold to the theory that one man
is as good as another and a big sight
better, to be conducting himself in this
royal way? When Mr.. Reids term
ends-as all earthly things must end
sooner Or .later-a comparatively Door
man may be appointed to succeed him.
He will, Of course, be unable to keep
the pace set by Mr.. Reid.
1t does seem remarkable that while
a republic is sending it's representa-
tive to England man who is making
MS dollars jingle SO loud that the ears
OF the grOuud-hogs are offended. a
powerful monarchy is sending as it's
representative to the United States a
man who is merely a statesman.
scholar and modest gentleman, who
makes no noise whatever in Society
ant demeans himself quietly and unob-
struSively. It seems that a man like
Mr. Bryce would be a fitting represen-
tatlVe OF the plain people of a republic

= Men Past Sixty in Danger.

More than half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from kidney

CRAIG KITCHIN AND HORNE.
Relative Strength of the Three Candi-
dates for Governor

1t is yet quite early in the game, but
it is interesting all the same, to spec
ulate upon the respective positions now
held by the candidates for goveronr OF
the state. In a review of the political
situation, The WinstOn-Salem Journal
figures it out that Craig shows a gain
OF strength, Kitchin shows a slight loss
and Horne is standing still. The Jour-
nal reasons that the greatest cause Of
Cralg's increase is the general belief
that Hon. R. A. Doughton will not
enter the race. Craig almost gets the
whole of Doughton's support Another
cause is found in the conduct of Craig
since his candidacy has been announced
He has made several speeches but has
not used these opportunities to put his
candidacy forward His abstinence
has gained for him more votes than he
would have gained by any other pro-
cedure. If reports sent out by cOrre-
spondents where Mr.. Kitchin has made
political speeches recently are to be be-
1eVed,' says The Journal, the Con-
gressman has done himself harm on
number of occasions, in such cases
as a general thing, his loss being Mr.
Cralgs gain. Observer.

FREIGHT RATES.
The Discrimination Against North
| Carolina Points.

However much We may disagree on
railroad passenger rates, there will be
no disagreement among North Carolin-
ians about the outrageous discrimina-
tions in freight rates praeticed by the
railroads against North Carolina and
in favor Of Virginia, for instance:
A -four mill In Lynchburg, through
the discriminatory rate on wheat, sell
-four at a profit OF so cents a barrel
and then seu at a cost of production
to a mill man at Durham. In other
words, the freight rate is so arranged
that the flour costs the Lynchburg mill
so cents less per barrel than the Dur
ham mill, and thus puts the Durham
mill out OF business wherever 1t comes
in competition with the Lynchburg
mill
We have looked in vain for some sort
of explanation of this discrimination
While numerous railroad officials have
been asked about ii, We have not yet
to hear of one giving any sort of in
telligent explanation. The layman will
never understand why freight from an
outside point can be hauled through
North Carolina and delivered at Vir-
ginia points for less money than to
points in this state. So long as this
discrimination exists the cry of unfair
treatment by the railroads will fall
on deaf ears-Statesville Landmark.

ARE UP AGAINST 1T
Cripple Creek and Other Colorado
Cities Cannot Hold Elections
Next Month-Pcculinr
Situation.

From Denver comes the announce
ment that the city of Cripple Creek
cannot hold city election this spring
How many other cities are in the
same predicament is not known but
all OF the cities of the second class
that have precinct boundaries for the
city separate from the precinct
boundaries for the county and in
which the county commissioners did
not appoint two sets of registrars will
find themselves unable to hold a city
election.
Two years ago the Booth reglstra-
tion bill provided that the county
commissioners should appoint regis
trars of election in each precinct and
that these registrars should also be
the judges of election.
The registrars must be appointed
thirty days before the election.
The city of Boulder has city pre-
cincts and county precincts both, the
county precincts being separate from
the city precincts.
The law did not provide for any
such conditions as this.
This year the representatives from
Boulder secured the enactment of an
amendment Of the law which gave
the county clerk the right to appoint
the registrars for the city precincts
thirty days before the election This
was done in Boulder.
The other day Cripple Creek woke
up to the fact that the town had city
precincts different from the county
precincts and that no provisions had
been made for the appointment of
registrars in the city precincts. As n
result they wrote the attorney gen
eral and asked what to do. In an
opinion given today the attorney gen
eral holds that as there is not remain
ing thirty days before the election.
which time must elapse after the
registrars are appointed. the city of
Cripple Creek cannot hold an cleo
ton this year 1t will therefore be
necessary for the old officers to hold
over.
The same will be true of every
other city in the state where the same
conditions prevail.

THE RIO GRANDE NEXT

In short Time to Seen How the
Men Stand on the Wage
Question.

Grand Junction and all other div

TEN ma be the scene Of some pretty
stirring actions with reference to the
widespread wage movement now on
in behalf Of the railway employees on
the western roads and which threat
ems, if the managers do not make con
cessions. to result In one of the great
est strikes in the history of the rail-
way labor movement.
The western roads are now being
polled on the proposition to accent
the scale submitted by the managers.
or reject it and demand the modified
increase. or strike.
The Rio Grande is now the center
Of the greatest interest among the
men. The management of the road
refused to be represented at the meet
ing in Chicago, and said that they
would not be bound by the action of
the General Managers association or
its representatives. They gave as the
reason that their men, both passen-
ger and freight service. were now be-
ing paid from 40 to 60 per cent
higher than on other roads, although
conditions in different branches of
the mountain service were admittedly
different and demanded higher pay.
The committee representing the
men will now go before the Rio
Grande officials and demand the
same increase as is asked on the gen
eral and reduced proposition from
other western roads, which includes
an increase in wages of 10 per cent
and the nine-hour day with pro rata
pay for overtime.
If the demand is refused the men
will at once commence to poll the sys-
TEN, and the Rio Grande will become
factor in the general western move
ment for better wages.
All of the roads, with the excep-
tion of the Rio Grande, are now be
ing polled, and the result of the vote
will be known In about two weeks.
It will then be forwarded to Chicago.
