I laid last week that If r. Hearet wu liable to get bniy in New York tbe tame way be bai in Chicago, l taw him tbe other day and when I asked him about tbeeleotion io Cbioago and tbe trend of eTonti be laid to me i The eleotion of Jndge Donne aa Mayor of Chieago wai the moat im- Eortant Tiotory woo at the poll einoe linoolo waa eboeen President. It it not merely that the eeeond eity of tbe United States reolaimi iti street from tha grip of the men to whom a fran obiae simply represent an opportunity total the people and (ire as little as possible in return tbe direct benefit of thi redoundi to Cbieago only but the efleot of it will bo felt all oter tbe corporation-ridden country. Just apply it here in New York. The New York City railroads have the most Talnablc trafflt franchises in tbe world, and make proflte eo great that tbe shares of the lateat one con structed have mora than doubled in value In Wall Street in the nrst sli month of operation. let there is not one of them that gWes anything ap proaching tbe semoe tbe people nave a right to eipeot. Moreover, any little game of the dl rector of these street ear companies i of more consequenoa than tha conveni ence or safety of the people. If one of them has a block of subur ban property the line is extended in that direction, regardless of the right of more populous diatriet to improved acrvioe. Ud to thi time all tbi haa seemed natural to the people who are the soft erersby tbe system. Now, however, Chicago has blaied a trail to deliver ance, and the very fact that it U possi ble for Mew I or to follow that trail i troing to work a vaat improvement in New York railroad. Nothing ha conduced so greatly to graft and bribery in municipal and State affair a the fact that franebiaes of enormous value for public utilities are to be obtained by favor of certain official. This comes home to us in Fayette. ville.-0B8 Give the street back to tbe city and this element of oorruption i at once eliminated. What Chicago ha done New York an do. The question of railway rate regula tion i once again aotively before tbe publie because of tbe Senate commit tea hearing. What tbe outcome will be i too problematical for me. But I feel sure it will neither be the proposition for Government ownership nor Senator Newland' plan tor national incorpora tion, national taxation ana national control, which i hi idea of what tbe Democratic party ought to do. The Democrat should get together quickly on some scheme, if they don't intend to let tne oepuouoan sieai their thunder and iff set some sort of a compromise that will be more or lea latistaotory to the railroad corpora tions. Railroad men ay they are more than willing, in faet, are anxious to have rebate dona away with j discrim ination by way of excessive allowan ce to abort terminal track that eon neet factories or warehouse with main line wiped out) and tha private ear lines, witn their exorbitant charges, eliminated forever from tha railroad problem. All theaa are evil that have toreed railroada to give up part of their legitimate earnings, by a cystem of mercantile brigandage and jto-jitsu games, that even tbe shrewdest rail road manager eannot beat. Shipper will tell tbe committee that they do not ask for a reduction in rate) that rale are low enough now, a the Interstate Commerce Commieiion has said a half doien time in their reports; that all they want ia a uniform rata for everybody, everywhere and at all time, and tbat the railroad would give them tbat now, it the Interstate Commiasion would only enforce the law against the favored shipper who have tbe railway by tbe throat, in. atead ot howling for a power to fix future rate a power they do not need to eliminate present trouble, and one they would not know bow to exercise if they potietsed it. Tbey admit that neither the producer nor the consumer would benent a penny by any rate reduction, thi aide ot bankruptcy for the carrier, but tbat the broker and middleman would get it all. SuoDoee you could ship bat from Danbury, Conn., to Louisville, for 8 sent lest a hat, or shoe from Lynn to Omaha tor 2 cents a pair lea, or coffee for a tenth ot a cant a pound leas, from New York to Cbieago," aaid one ot tbem to ma iu tha lobby ot tha New Willard Hotel here. "Tbat would be a bug reduction in freight rate over 25 per cent. And would tha consumer benent auy by H" wot on your lire." As rm not a potato editor, i gave it P' ., . . . .. I wortingmen, laoor union, rauroaa employe are coming here to protest against rata reduction because they think it I aotng to bort tbem. rer bap it will. I can't tell jast now. But the Democrat ought to nave aom on here to aniwar tbeea question and take a tront seat on tbe band wagon. CHABLIS A. SSWABM. A OOIIBAIT. What a contrast with oor treatment ot tha Indian la that presented by tha human paopla of Canada, Saysan txshangai "Last vear tha Canadian Indian tribe raised farm produoa to tbe value ot mora that a million dollars, wbile the value of the produots of bunting and fishing reaohod one million and a quarter.

Tba habit ot treating those who ara nearest and deareit to u with discour tesy, la one tbat olood the tunabine of too many borne. It you ara young and looking for your prlnoe, just teat hi homa conduct. Do not be guided in your eboiee by what a young man i in tba parlori find out what ba 1 in his molbar'a aitting room. Do not jadge him by the way ha can tip hi hat, but by tba way ba treat tbe old, especially bis parent. Tba borne where mutual eooiideration rule i always a bappy one, if it be tha top flat of a aheap ten ement or an adobe but on tba prairie. There abould ba a aertaiu respect ob served in tbe most intimate relation ship. Wive have no mora right to search their husband's pocket than thay have to take tbe tarn liberty with an acquaintance. We have no more right to rob tba baby's bank than to force tba vault of tba natiocal bank. We may hurt the feelings of a society acquaintance and there ia no great barm done, beyond an estrangement of two people who aara but little for each otberj but when wa (tab tbe fond mother1 beart, tbat loved o with a love next ia tenderness to heaven's, or wound tbe sensitive feelings ot a broth er or a aister, life i not long enongh to extract tha tlng from memory. Love'a opportunity will soon vanish forever, and out throogh the sunset ot life, the one we love dearett and beet have flown away like birde to a summer land and oor word of endearment are thrust back like voice that beat againat a wall of rook. THI SAIXWAT QUMTIOI. Bay our Washington correspondent: Apropos of the railway question, considerable Interact attaches to the hearing which ara to be given on the subject ot railway legislation by tbe Senate Committee on Interstate Com merce, of which Senator Elkio of Weet Virginia i chairman. Tbe mem ber of thi committee are Senator Klkim, Cnllom, Aldrieb, Keen, Dolli ver, 1 oraker, Clapp, Millard, Tillman, McLaurin, Carmaok, Foster ot Louisi ana' and Newland. Tbe first of the meeting called to deal with tbi ob ject under authority of a special Sen ate resolution, will ooour next Monday, and it ia expected that tbey will be held almost continuously for aeveral month. Of the above membership, Senator Aldrioh 1 (till in Europe, Mil lard is io Nebraska and Tillman is (till at bi borne in South Carolina, although ia hoped he will be able to attend, and Senator Millard will probably retura to Washington before long. it ia generally expected tbat ae a result ot these hearings the committee will report some form of railway legi latiou to the Senate a soon a tbat body convene, although those familiar with tbe attitude and affiliation of a majority of tbe committee expect that any measure which will be reported will prove either insufficient to accom plish the! desired end or, and this is more likely, will be so drastic as to prove unconstitutional whan submitted to tbe Supreme Court. It will remain therefore for the real friend of tbe Preaident and of railway rate reform amend tbe bill on the floor of tbe Senate until it assumes a form both practical and adequate. The next session of Congress will prove an unu sually interesting one. Great interest of tbe publie will be at etake, no one of mjre importance tban thi one ot rail way rate regulation, and the attitude and vote of every member of both bouse will be, or should be, ecrutiniaed closely by their constituent. Those wbo oppose tbi view declare. however, tbat such a narrow view ot the eonetitution itself, o close an ad herence to the doctrine that tbe rights tbe aovere'gn States must not be violated, will necessarily place tbe people at the mercy of those corporate interests, whioh by the lavish use ot money can always corrupt a sufficient umber of State legislatures to prevent the success of any proposed amend ment of tbe eonetitution, however mer itorioua, which would even tend to eurtail tbe liberties or tbe license of corporate wealth. Tbe problem ia too deep for extensive discussion in a newa letter but tbe foregoing aaeertion may serve in a measure to indicate to the thinker ot the nation the gravity and complexity of the problem with whioh tbe next Congress will be sailed upon to deal. . Scats, at Kr. tasktu, The Sumter New, in recording the death at that place of Mr. Uriah S. Lockett, father ot the wife of our for mer townsman Mr. T. E. Maultsby, laytt The annonncement of his passing away wa not unexpected, as bi long and painful 111 nee of many month bad prepared his hundred of friend for tbe dread tiding. But, while thua expected, tbe death of Mr. Lockett ba east a shadow ot sorrow over tba community wherein the greater portion ot hi long and us ful lite haa been spent. He belonged to tbat class or men, honest and eonr- ageous, met with but seldom now. ror na waa a van or unninohing courage, triad a thousand timet upon battlefield and elsewhere, ana never waa h a fonnd wanting. Tha word "honesty" was synonymous with his name. Ia thi ba waa really an extremist, and it aaa b aaid in all trntb tbat ha never possessed a pansy not hi own. A part of his religion was to pay his just dsbts, lov bis fallow man and lead an upright Ufa. nor live tbere a man who can say tbat ba aver failed therein. Mr. Lockett was born In Warren county. Ga.. August 2nd. 1832. and, therefore, was in bis 73rd year. Is 1869 ha married Mis Antoinette Park, ot Marion county. Attar tha Civil War they removed to Ameriens in I860, wher thay have resided very happily tinea. Vortet About Tow Stomach.

' Fayetteville bas reaobed that point in the commercial way where to hesi tate or halt means to be onlstripped by our sister towns, and I believe we bava anongb grit and common aense to go forward and build up a large, progressive city right here in tbe centre of the Cape Fear aeoiion. Greensboro, Raleigh, Charlotte, Wil son and Wilmington curroood os, bnt we are so far from eaob of them tbat tbere is very little competition. - In fact, Fayetteville bas a world of territory, and we bave advantages inferior to no place on tbe globe, and the day is coming when this old plaee will be a live, up-to-date metropolis tor thi whole seotion. When tbat day doe come, we hope that many ot tbe oberisbed memories will atill be preserved and oelebrated along with tbe newer and more push ing life. We have a comparatively small indebtedness and tbe bond if sue ot 130 000 doe not really increase ?r liability because the money i tt. ts invested in assets tbat will be worth tbe outlay, and aeoordiug to tbe electric light eommittee, wbo bare made a thorough examination, tbe investment will yield the city a splendid return. We have this plant on oor bands and it has given u street light free of cost. It therefore behooves us to care for and improve this plant, just as much o a we would any other piece of property. It would be tbe extreme oi folly to allow tbe eleotrio light proper ity to dopreoiate when tbe expenditure of $16,000 ia needed to farther equip tbe plant and keep up a high standaid of oervioe. Ltt $ thow to the world that what layetteviUt attmpU thall be done well It we do tbis, lue outside world wi'.l find it out and people will be attracted to tbi, one of the finest places tbe sun ever (bone opon. If you bave a piece ot property, you regularly repair and paint it up. II you bave a bueineea you continually add to and improve your facilities to aerv your onstomer. It you owns manufacturing plant and it is snoceed ing you naturally add more oapaoity beoauee it can be operated without in crease of expense. Then why not do with tbe public property just as you would with your own, improve it, en large it and let it keep pace with the growing demand of Fayetteville. We bope to own and operate tbe Water Works system and by placing tbe different city property in an able and competent commission's hands, it looks reasonable to oaloolate tbat tbere will be income enough to furnish street liSbts free, pay interest on tbe entire bonded debt of the city and lay op a small sinking fund. We bave the best water and wafpr upply iu the State and with $15,000 more in improvemetns we will bave a most excellent light plant. We have a mayor and board of al deimen wbo were ratified by an unadi mou vote last evening.

Mr. Editor : The Ihin grey line of veterans who formed tbe remnant ot Lee s Army forty years ago, is still tbe tbin grey line of tbe Southern Legion ot Honor. How tbiu it bas grown witb tbe passing years bow rapidly it is thinning now I We think tbe roll of tbat beroio band is also kept iu Heaven. Ever and anon, an asterisk is placed against a name and a courier is dispatched to summon bim up higher In tbe dawn of the early morning. wbeo tbe notes of tbe birds awoko nisbi's slumbers to the brightness of day, such a messenger came to Capt. John Alexander McPbersoo. "Tbe hand held aloft he dropped to bis side. He etoqd all attention as listening of yore. No ooontersign was asked oor was any givon, As the courier strode forth with unfalt ering intent. A volunteer scout from the battlemente of Heaven With orders of love and justice he's sent." Tbe death of Captain McPherson markatbe passing away of anotbur of Lee's veterans a gillant soldier ot tbe Army of Northern Virginia. His com rades bave paid bim nttiug tribute and we oould add nothing to what thev have said io tbis corneotiou. Oaeen Victoria gave Wellington no higher praise tban tbat "he was a good sol dier." That is a noble heritage. Captain McPuerson looked the sol dier, endowed ae be was witb all tbe essential qualities-witb tbe naick movements, tbe bright eye, tbe erect form, tbe always alert appearance bespoke tbe man of militury discipline and to see bim on horseback, one might think Ibat bo bad been io tbe cavalry. lie was a mip, too, of extrcmelv pleasant personality and of strong cbaraoter. Always cardial and sincere in his manner and dealings, his friepds were as numerous as bis acquaintances. A keen observer, be was quick to de teot, appreciate and praise worth and merit whenever anything worthy of praise existed. Hisoordial hospitality made it delightful to b a guest in bis borne. His kindly traits, generous heart and open bind endeaied him not only t) his wide oirole of friends, ba' more eppecially to those who were bis neighbors aid to those wbo needed any help which be could give. Quietly as bis alms were djne, some beautiful deeds are credited to bis account. Hia lo:. will be keenly felt in bis church, where he served for many years in the capacity first as Deacon. then ss Ruling Elder. His wise coaa-el, bi3 exemplary life and bis faitbfaineee in Iho d'sobarge of bis duties will lorg be an iLflnenoe for good among tbe people of bis oburcb and community.

"Yankees" Pitased With Fayetteville. Mr. Bion H Bailer writes in tbe Southern Pices "Tourist" a long letter oi f ayetteville. Below is pari ot it. Tbe rest we will publish later : As I bave rcmatked before, when one fellow down here finds a uew point ot iBterest, tbe crowd follows. Tbe other day an txcnrion was arranged ro Fayettevil.e, and some seventy-five Yanbeco swooped down on tbe town, wbiob is probably ; bigger number than has ever entered tbe place at one time einoe Sherman came up tbis way with bis terrible track of desolalioD. It was a great day for tbe visitois and for Faj etteville, too. Tue Mayor and lbs big wigs weloom ed tbe Yankee ou fi .aaddid it right. Tbere is no mistaking the Southern welcome. For instance, my wife and 1 I were rambling about tbe quaint old little city, and we notioed on a b:g porob, back of a broad green lawn, in tbe shade of some of tbe greatest oak trees we ever saw, two women. We were taken with tbe charm of the borne and at tbe same time thought it would be a convenient plaoe to inquire about a point of int. rest iu the viomity whiob re sought We went up the walk to the bouse. The iLformation was cordial' ly given, and when it was known that we were strangers a pressing invitation to go up into the hou?e was given, and half a doi3n suggestions made for our comfort and edification. Oo tbe streets gray-haired and dignified Chesterfields, whom we never saw before, lifted tbeir hats courteously to the women of tbe party, while tbe town was thrown wide open for the entertainment ot tbe bunch of Northern strangers. Fayetteville is the qi unteat. cbeeri est, ebaiming old plaoe tbat I know of in ail tbe oountry. One day it was ambitions, and with plenty ot cause. It is at the head of navigation on the Cape Fear Biver, and before the days of railroads was the commercial town tor all of the oountry west to tbe heart ot Tennessee. Boats brought tbeir cargoes up the river to Fayetteville a United States port ot entry, and from tbere wagon trains earns and went in all directions. Excellent roads led to all parts of tbe western seotion ot this State, South Carolina and Virginia, and it was oo unusual thing to see hundreds ot wagon filling the roads tor two or three miles out from tbe eity. Turpeutine and resin, ootton and corn liquor, the famous little North Carolina hams, and other tural prod nets cime down to Fayetteville for shipment, and all mauner of s'.ore goods came np.

THE CONVtNTION LAST NIGHT, Action of Primaries Ratified. Fiom Thnrada;'B Dailj. Considering the rival attractions, there was a good attendance at the meeting lu the court-house last night, at eight o'clock, to ratify the nominees for the various municipal offices made by the Democratic primary last Fri day, the 2tst. The ticket (heretofore published in the Observer) was ratified as a whole by acclamation, and sever al Interesting and Instructive talks were made by some of the candidates and citizens. Io tbe absence of Chairman Strange, of the Executive Committee, Mr, A, S. Wighlman, a member, called the meeting to order, asking Mr. J. W. Atkinson to preside. Major E J. Hale waa elected chairman, and K, H, Dye secretary. Rtpai's were then read and received as to tbe result cf the primary in each of the seven wards, after which it was moved and carried that the ticket be ratified as a whole, which was done, by acclamation.

The presentation of the Democratic banner to the Democrats ot Cabin Branoh precinct in Qaewhifilj town ship took plaoe Thurs day, and parties present give glowing aooonnt of the oooasion. There was a steady down pour of rain from early morning until about 2t o'clock, and the exercises took plaoe in tbe school bouse. County Chairman H. L. Cook presi ded and introduced each speaker with appropriate and pleasant words which made the speaker and audience feel acquainted and added much to the pleasure ot tbe exercises. Mr. Cook opened hi a short speech explaining tbe purpose of the banner and oautioned the Democrats to be on their mettle, as every precinct in the oounty would be after it next year; that their record could not be surpassed, as their vote was unanimous, but tbey might lose by failing to be unanimous hereafter.

Light! f.-vr an. Correspondence of the Ubaeryer. Mb Editor: The question of voting bonds to en- arge the electric light plant and fund the floating debt presents in its last analysis a very simple business propo sition to the voters of our city, and as to lights, it is this. Having already established an eleotrio light plant un der municipal ownership, io obedience to publio demand, shall the extra funds needed for its enlargement be provided, thereby enabling the light plant to meet the increasing demands ot a growing eity for more lights, or shall tbey not t Tbe light committee bave made It plain that tbe proposed enlargement will greatly enhance ibe value of Ihe plant, and enable tbe city to operate it upon a muoh more economical aud profitable basis; and tbat a failure to provide for its enlargement will seri onsly embarrass its further successful operation, for reasons fully discussed in tbe published statement of the light oommittee- Many of our people want eleotrio lights, but cannot get tbem, because the present plant cannot supply tbem. It bas not the capacity to do so. Under publio ownership all the people, rather than a favored few, should be able to get eleotrio lights if tbey want tbem But how shall tbey get them unless the oapaoity of the plant is enlarged to supply themt And how sball tbe en largement be made without the ceces sary funds f And how shall tbe ueccs sary foods be provided, unless the people vote them T So tben it 16 op to the people, oy whose will and decree the present light plant was established, to stand by its own enterprise, and give it tbat strong support which its public importance and growing patronage demands, and whioh tbe light committee bave recom mended. It is only fair to give munic ipal ownership of tbe light plant a "square deal," If it has done so well as it has under adverse conditions, it must do even better under more favor able oircumstanoes. In the writet's opinion, no mistake will be made iu voting for the bonds; and, on tbe contrary, qaite a serious mistake will be made iu voting against them. "Eleotrio lights for everybody that wants them." if that'd your platform vote "issue." The proposition involved as to the debt is equally pimple. Tbis: Sball tbe city continue to pay six per oent. inter est on its floating debt, contracted to pav its necessary expenses, when it can reduoe tbe rate to 4 or 0 per oent. by selling its bonds T Kefusing to vote tbe bonds win not be refusing to make tbe debt t That has already been contracted. y.
