t WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED. Railroads Should be Kegulated by the Ktate and Xot Turned Over to thetien eral Government, S. A. Aslif iu the Sews A Observer. To the Editor: Your editorial this morning on the injustice of the llailroad Commissioners Decision offerB such an opportunity for me to air some of my views that I beg you will give me the privilege. 1 agree most heartily with what you say: but what was to be ex pected? Since 1861 there has been no act of administration, that has not been in the interest of the North rather thaii in the interest of the South. I state the general histori cal facts and, further, 1 say that it is only natural and what might have been expected. Every Southern nntn is interested in the growth and development and advantage of nis loved South, every Northern mau in the growth aud development and advantage of his loved north or west. As we would seek to benefit the South, they do seek to benefit their seer.ion. ' Therefore, they, controlling the Congress, the government, the ad ministration, the powers that be, are kind ,o the north rather than to the Sou h. It is so now, aud, al ways will be so. We must couut that a fact iu all of our calcula tions. Tne railio.tds of North Cnro inn and of the South need rigorous and vigorous legulation by us in our in teresta. Iu the matter of regulation they need to be dealt witti by a master hand. They are our highways created by our State government for the bene fit of our trade and tiafliu and to promote convenience and prosperity. It is our din y to regulate them, as far as we can, in oriir to answer the purposes of their creation. If we turn that duty over to the General Government, if we abdicate our function, you se; what it will lead to. Already we have reason to complain that those railroads favor northern manufacturers at the ex pense of Southern enterprise and development; turn them over and place them under the domiuion of the Federal Congress, Federal Gov ernment, Federal administration, and they will be so regulated that they will become instruments to promote northern development, in all matters rather than Southern enterprises. As the Federal admin istration will always be as sectional .as it now is even our local roads would then oecome tools to advance northern interests instead of South ern progress. I am not complain ing. I have never complained since 1885; although I have been on fire with contempt at the want of mag nanimity of northern statesmen at their miserable pusillanimity. But it is apparent that if we turn over our highways to Federal control, we sound our death knell. Therefore it is to say nothing of other reasons, that I regard with so much appre hension the proposition of Govern ment Ownership. That, ou the part of the South, would be an act of fel de se. And as I have considered tbat all of the violent agitation of recent months has tended in that direc tion; that the ground has been bro ken, and the seed planted and that the likelihood that there will be enough husbandmen to make the crop 1 have dreaded the probable consequences. The South has uething to gain, b"t everything to lose by Government Ownership. News & Observer. A Card of Thanks.

Franc Increasing Outlet Vpnu American Imports. While our standpatter Republican friends aie enjoyiug the usufruct of their alliance with the tariff pro tected trusts, the tariff war with other countries is certainly and gradually undermining our foreign commerce. The State Department ollicials point out that our relations with Franc ou the tariff ouostion are in a very unsatisfactory condition and nothing can be done to mend j theui until Congress acts. Mean time, the officials say, tlipreis good reason for believing that "Franc has decided steadily to increase the duties upou American "imports to such an extent that in many instan ces thev are likely to be pro hibitive". As the lleupblican majority iu the House of Represen tatives is opposed to tariff reform and the Senate has refused to ratify the treaties for leciprocitv with other nations, tlie prospect of the Congress enacting any law that will rednct the schedules, however high and unrensoiiab is out of the (tltStlOtl. Ihe tetup t:n v arr tngemeut with Germany will only e.vst until the next Conrt ss n.ts had an opportu nity to p.-tss imh reciprocity arauge- nient with that country, or enact a general uriff revision la.v that will admit imports from Germany on a b-iMs rli.tr wi,l satisfy that country iitnl tlm permit cur exports to cuter thereat tne niwiinrim rates. If imc tit.tndput faction prevails it next l'epub'ican national c itiv nrioM, -inU th:tt can h trdly be oiur;-4 us nearly all the leaders: are tor "letting well enough alone , the present incipient tariff war, will reach n't acute s Hge and the real tizht for commercial supremacy will be a very serioiu ipiesMon. To leave fie ta: iff to be settled by "the frieuds of protection" will mean no settlement at all, but mere ly a continuation of the Republican polijy, heie oft r and now prevail ing of .protecting the trusts and making the balance of us pay the tax that trust hih prices entail. The oiilv lelief tht can come to those who feel that the present high cost ot living it beyond their ability to pay or so treuchea on their income as to compel the re linquishment of even the most sim ple and expensive pleasures, is through voting for Democratic can didates who favor tariff reform not only because the Democratic plat form will declare for tariff reform, but also through the inherited trrditions of the Democratic party on the tariff issue from the beginning of the government. To Kemove Ink Mains. In two quarts of water, previouisly boiled and cooled, dissolved four ounces of critic acid. Then add six to eight ounces of a strong, strained solution of borax after which the whole may be put into a bottle or suitable receptacle. Then to two quarts of water, previously boiled and coo'ed, add three quarters of a pound of chloride of lime. Shake and let stand from four to six days after which strain and add from six to eight ounces of a strong solution of borax, and place in a separa e bottle. To remove ink from paper, cloth or other absorbent substance, the composition in bottle No, 1 is applied so as to Saturate thoroughly the place occupied by the ink, a blotter being used to absorb all waste mois ture. By the combined use of the two fluids thus described, writing inks or other fluids will be immediately dissolved and iemoved from the paper so that the latter may be again written on. Silver inkstands stained with ink nay be cleaned by applying a little chloride of lime with water. As ruts prove the usefulness of a road, so convolutions do not prove an idle brain.

Ihe Okmulgee Democrat says: "A man may use the mole on the back of his neck for a collar button; I e may ride a freight to save three cents a mile; he may light the lamp with a splinter to save matches; he may stop his watch at night to save wear; me a period for a semi colon to save ink, and 'pastti re his grandmother's grave to save hay; but a man of this kind is a scholar and a gentleman compared to a man who will take a news-paper and when ask.d to pay for it, put it back in the postotlice, marked Refused." Two Cases .raiist One. Oklahomv is goiug Democratic, and The Industrial News, of Greens boro, thinks it would be "an act of the rankest injustice" to keep it out of the Union until after tne next election for the purpose cf prevent ing us then casting a vote adverse to the R ptiblieau party; "and yet aiuxei', t says, "will some on -.indl. til us just how ami why at d oecti'i-e i.f wn it, it would be any tnnre ut jiist or iniquitous or blame wui tln'for Republican Piesideut to keep Oklahoma out of the Union iu order to prevent its casting a Dem ocratic -lectorul vote than it was for a Democratic lsi.-lature of the State of North C r 1 na to transftr Surry county fr mi tn- e gh' h to the fifth congressional d r ct for the avowe I purpose r in.ikiiig the eighth district, ih.-n reg.ir nd us doubtful safely Dem crane without d'stuiii lllg the Weill "Of tlic rep md elMiii-e of the fifth?"

But while the world frets to know it and Simpson is dying to tell it, the owner of the painful tit-bit is le strained by the knowledge that if he does tell it probably may never be able to tell anotner. For Mr. Simpson almost died today in his efforts to let the world in on the joke. He came all the way over to St Paul to see a friend ou Wab.- sh street. Bit, when he started to Ml it he laughed so hard that he dis located his jaw. He was taken to police headquarter', where the ambulance surgeans set his jaw and then expieised curiosity legardicg the joke that conk: do such an awful thing to a man. Simpson started to tell the joke and laughed iiud pop went the jaw again. This lime the surgeons bound his face .30 tightly that he can only giggle, but he said in writing that hefemsto try a fourth time to tell the joke be cause it's good enough to Ireak the bandapes.-St. Paul to Kansas City Times. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessensaiubitioii; beauty, vijjor and cheerful ness soon disappear w hen the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble lias become so prevalent that it is not uneoin- y innn for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidnevs. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an a;;e when it should be able to control the passage, it is vet auiteted wun neu-wet lependupon it, the cause of thedifli- culty is kidney trouble and the first "V. I!''!:' Hti,;" ",' . trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same -treat remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamo-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in hfty cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a Horn of swamp-Root pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of the thousands of testi monial letters received from sufferers cured, -fn writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghatnton, N.Y., be sure and mention this paper.
