CLEVELAND AND THE TARIFF Under the above caption, yesterday's Observer contained an editorial point ing out the inconsistency between Mr. Cleveland's admirable words (when he utters them), and his ac tions, In behalf of tariff reform. , Hope of tariff reform carried him Into office In 1885, and his complete fnllure to use his great Influence In that behalf during the spring-time of his adminis tration caused the disappointed people to drop him In 1888. Again he bad a chance in 1893, when he entered the White House with a ittin commission to strike protection a mortal blow, and he had a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic House elected alnna- with him on that Issue, waiting for him to give the word. Again, he dis appointed the people, who had been pursuaded to believe him sincere In his tariff reform message at the close of his former administration,, and they lost faith entirely In the promises of Democrats, such as he, 'who seemed to use the party platform--merely to cafh votes."" -"" " : Something of this kind must have been running in the mind of the Balti more Sun, yesterday, when It gave voice to the following: Would Mr. Cleveland Be a Good Pres idential Candidate? The Hon. Grover Cleveland has 'no doubt that the next Democratic con vention 'ehould bring tariff refonh to the forefront as the main and living Issue of the Presidential campaign of laos. In an Interview publish ed In the New York Times last Sun day Mr. Cleveland said: "So confi dent am I of the success that would follow the forcing to the front by Dem ocrats of the tariff reform issue that I am disposed to predict that if we fail to do so now our friends, the ene my, will take it out of our hands be fore four more years have rolled by. I am serious. The opportunities for Democratic success were never bright er, once the mind of the party is clear as to its mission in this supreme hour. The chances are far better than they were In 1896." If tariff reform is to be the supreme issue in 1908, Is the age of 71 too great for the candidate who shall stand upon that one-plank platform? It is about ten years less than the age of the. last Dmocratlc candidate for the Vice Presidency, and the Vice President is always selected with a view to being suitable for the higher office of President. That a political party implies, or should imply, a political policy Is true. That a political party, in order to amount to anything, is bound to propose a constructive programme founded on principles is also funda mentallys. true. "I hold," said Mr. Cleveland, "the matter of the reform of the tariff to be absolutely, funda mental. This question of the trusts la entirely dependent upon it. It can not ever be denied, and It should never be forgotten, that the tariff is the father of trusts. In it all forms of corporate Injustice find their ori gin and their refuge." A political party must not only pre sent to the people a constructive pro gramme and a definite policy founded on correct principles, along with an appropriate candidate, but the issue must be such as will engage the pub lic attentioa and enlist popular sup port. It was a lack of this definite issue, of this constructive policy, that caused the Democratic disaster in 1904. Mr. Roosevelt, the Republican candidate, was preaching the doctrine of action. Mr. Parker, the Democratic candidate, was for applying the brakes all the time. His policy may have been the safest and -wisest, but some how it did not arrest the public atten tion. It did not excite the interest or the imagination of the people. If Mr. Roosevelt should be nominated by the Republican convention and should talk to the people about the control of corporations, the uprooting of the trusts by direct legislative or judicial action, the compulsion of the railroad companies to obey the law, and the Democratic candidate, who- nvpr he mav be. should connne nim- self to a discussion of the admitted evils of the protective system, to which candidate would the people give their attention? We are not undertaking to answer that question, but it is a question which must be seriously considered by the Democratic party. Mr. Cleve land seems disposed to brush the railroad and corporation issue aside and to consider the present cry as temporary hysteria. But it is aouut ful whether the people will agree with him on that point. "I see in the question," Mr. Cleveland observed, "as to whether ranroaa tares suuum cents or-2 cents a miie no great, principle." But, nevertheless,- " we hv the recent action of the State legislatures, a multitude of people consider the question most in teresting. .- nrenent Theu,J. hi the raflroad and other dlsposit on by lhe railroad and otner themselves ex- oorpoiBuuuB w f-- ioivoiv nndfir Federal control.

Mr. Bryan's Commoner recently said that "the radicalism of 1896, has be come the conservatism of 1907," and added: "The Chicago platform, de nounced -and -laughed at -by many, - has so growa In favor that a Republican President has won his greatest popu larity by the adoption of principles and policies described in that plat form." . A Republican newspaper having sneered at the above proposition as contrary to the fact, because, as It ttlIe8ed, the Chicago platform was confined to the money question, The Commoner replied that it was the quantitative theory of money which that platform made the paramount is sue, and that that doctrine Is to-day generally admitted to be correct the proposition to create an asset curren cy, on the plea that we need more money with which to do the business of the country (notwithstanding the enormous Increase of money --by the gold output) showing that the money question is still alive. The Commoner next proceeds to sum up the then novel -propositions of the Chicago platform on many other subjects, which to-day are ac cepted as sound by leaders of both parties, including the President. It says: The Chicago platform was not con fined to the money question. True It spoke clearly and with emphasis upon that question but it breathed that spirit in which the foundations of this Government were laid and It gave ut terance to a patriotic protest against the encroachments of organized wealth and the evils of centralized government a protest which at this moment finds echo in. the hearts of millions of men who denounced the man of tees are already nreoareS many or tnese are aireaay prepared to join with the Democratic party in righting the mistakes of eleven years ago. If Congress and the President had oftener taken their cue from the Chi-, cago platform public interest would thereby have been advanced.-- "Wheth er the President in several of the good things for which he has stood "found his cue" in the Chicago platform it is an undeniable fact that every reform movement in which the President has engaged and upon which he has won the applause of the people is in line with suggestions made in Democratic platforms and upon subjects concern ing which Mr. Roosevelt's own party platform was silent. Let us take a look at the Chicago platform and see how accurately its protests registered eleven years ago coincide with the protests now be ing made by men of all parties. In the very beginning df that plat form emphasis was laid upon the im portance, under our form of govern ment, of "the faithful observance of constitutional limitations;" and to-day many who looked lightly upon that warning given in 1896 are impressed with its importance. A Here is the second paragraph from the Chicago platform: "During all these years the Democratic party has resisted the tendency of selfish inter ests to the centralization of govern mental power, and steadfastly main tained the integrity of the dual scheme of government established by tho fnnnriprn nf thfi renublic of reDub- lies. Under its guidings and teach- ings the great principle of local self government lias found its best expres sion in the maintenance of the rights of the States and in its assertion of the necessity of confining the general government to the exercise of the powers granted by the Constitu tion of the United Slates." The peo ple of the Pacific Coast States who rolled up Republican majorities in 1896 and who looked lightly upon this second paragraph of the Democratic platform are now In a position to ap preciate its value. "Congress alone has Jbe power to coin and Issue money," said the Chi cago platform, "and president Jack son declared that this power could not be delegated to corporations or indi viduals;" and those Republicans who are nrotesting against asset curren cy find their cue on this point in the Chicago platform where their own party platform Is silent. In tnat piatiorm a nign protective tariff was called "a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies whlcn enncnes the few at the expense of the many; restricts trade and deprives the pro- ducers of the great American staples of access to their natural markets." And the Republicans, who. like La Fnllatte and -Cummins, are protest- in e aeainst the encroachments of coroorattons, as well as the Republi can advocates of reciprocity, appre ciate the correctness oi that arraign- ment.. Th Chlcaro Dlatform declared that I . . . j..... , nnn ,,aa all I 11 18 lae aul' ul 7 J its constitutional power "so that the j may be and imoartlally laid to tne enu mat wealth may bear Its due proportion of the expense of the Government" And the President elected as a Re- publican Is now on record in iavor of an income tax and an Inheritance tax. ,gTu Pt the The most efficient way oi protect- imnnrtnttnn nf f nrel em Dancer labor to compete with it In the home market," "Arbitration ot differences between employers and .employes" was one ot provisions of the Chicago plat- tonn; and while the Republican Con- wn. r"."Un h cuelo the Republican President carried the priDj CPle into practical operation during I .k. oi.

Mr. F. H. Busbee writes as follows: to the Raleigh News and Observer: To the Editor: r In a recent letter from Governor Crawford of South Dakota, he has given me a copy of. his correspond ence with Mr. Andrews, of New York. As it Is of Interest to the citizens of North Carolina, I have obtained h.s permission to give It to the press. ' Yours truly, E. H. BUSBEE. March 23, 1907. From Mr. Andrews to Governor . Crawford. "Dear Sir: The committee of North Carolina bondholders desire to donate to South Dakota, under its existing legislation, one million dollars ($1, 000,000) of the defaulted securities of North Carolina. "Before troubling you formally, we would feel obliged If you would kindly inform us of your, views on-line si lect. Inasmuch as the mandate to ac cept such donations is imposed on your office. From Governor Crawford to Mr. Andrews. ""Dear Sir: Your favor suggesting a gift to the State of South Dakota of 11,000,000 of defaulted securities of North Carolina, written under date of February 28, 1907, is received. The sentiment of this State is very strong against the use of its name for the purpose of establishing a claim against a sister State. My own view as a public officer is that the State should not be a party to such a trans action. "It appears to me that the mani fest purpose of your gift is to use this State in litigation for the pur pose of influencing the State of North Carolina into making some settlement of other obligations of a like char- np.ter. I am quite sure mat tne peo- I -. . ... , , t- i tent .-jinn or tnia Diaie win ououhu .u . PO"' declining to accept the do- ,,,. lha r,H.iiinr rirciim- nation under the particular circum stances." Th offer of the New York commit tee was designed, of course, to evade the inhibition of the Fifth Amend ment to the Constitution against suits by citizens of one State against an other State. The inhibition does not apply to suits by one State against another. The action of the Governor of South Dakota, as described in his letter above quoted, is most com mendable. We believe that the gen eral nrinclnles of the doctrine laid down by the Circuit Court in Pennsyl vania in Maxfield vs. Levy, has never been reversed, in which it was de clared that "No contrivance to defeat the law of the land, and create juris diction by fraud, could be tolerated." The New York committee's donation was doubtless made In good faith as to It,' but Governor Crawford wisely detected the moral fraud involved. RAYNER ANSWERS CLEVELAND. Raleigh News and Observer. When the rate bill was pending in Congress Senator Isador Rayner made one of his great speeches in favor of the right sort of a bill.' It wu thfi sneech ot a man who would viva nmtection to vested interests but would demand that such interests be amenable to Government regulation and control. In other words, he voic ed the principle "if the railroads h.im uiniiv thpv must do equity." His speech made a profound imnression. both because it was an able, unanswerable argument and be cause in politics he had trained rather with the Cleveland and gold standard Democrats. A few days ago we printed a state ment of exPresident Cleveland to the effect that all this railroad agitation nan a "dHrliim that we would all soon be ashamed of," a "craze," a "popular clamor" in effect had beeri brought about by demagogues and was in no sense due to the railroad managers. In a recent interview Sen ator Raynor replied to the ex-Presl-dent and said: ' ;i toil vnn now. and what I say to you I have said to some of the lead ing railroad presidents and officers in .ho n,,ntrv within the last few months, that they are to blame for all this trouble; tnat tney are iu iw tors, and they are the men who are responsible for the present condition 0f affairs, and that the innocent in- vestors in their enterprises are los ing confidence in them, rseuner uie President of the United States nor Congress deserves the slightest de gree of censure.

President Schurman, of Cornell Uni versity sends us the following: Office of the President Cornell University Ithica, New York, March 20, 1907. To the Editors of the Newspapers of the South: On returning early this month from an extended trip In the Northwest, I began to receive newspaper clippings from Southern newspapers in which I found myself severely censured, on the supposition that in one of my speeches I had reflected upon the civ ilization of the South. Accustomed to newspaper sensations, I paid "little at tention to the matter. But the news paper clippings have continued to come from different parts of the South, and graduates of Cornell and other friends have written me on the subject and urged me to make a .state ment. ' The report which caused the trou ble seems to have been a dispatch sent from New York City to the South while I was in the Northwest, imput ing to me the statement that the civilization of the South was lower than that of the North, or words to that effect. I never Baw this press dispatch itself, and the first intima tion I had of it was an editorial pub lished In the Atlanta Georgian, In which I found the civilization of the South defended against this supposed reflection and myself made the ob ject of an attack, the tone and spir it of which may be Indicated by the following quotations: "Such a sentiment, even from a col lege president, argues an obtuseness of observation and a narrowness of prejudice, which In this region would unfit him for the occupancy of a coun try school." "Why, there are ctrcles of society In the South, to which neither the manners' nor the culture of Jacob ocnurman would admit"" mm upon terms oi social equality. "To one who is much acq -tinted witn tne personality and the . cour teous and uncultured manner of Ja cpb Schurman, his allusion:; to the South assume the absurdity of a comic n nr theatrical t...,i-, opera or a theatrical burlesui. t. sun aanere to my pone, ui say ing nothing for publication. ui In a letter (on another subject) received from my friend Dr. David C. narrow, Chancellor of the University of Geor gia, I took accasion to say for his in formation that I never made the re murks attributed to me nor any re marks like them, and that nothing was iurtner from my thoughts than a con trast between the civilization of the North and the civilization of the South, i.o the disadvantage of the lat ter. Chancellor Barrow deemed the matter of so much Importance that (anima ed by a spirit of genuine friendship) he sent an extract of this letter io the editor of the Atlanta Georgiiu, who thereupon published anothei editorial on the subject which Is as fi. Hows: "Jaco Schurman Denies Saying It, "And now comes Jacob Schurman, preside t or Cornell, with the state ment t at he did not make the re mark ion which The Georgian felt impelle to comment in defense of the 'crvlliza ion' of the South. "In t letter to Chancellor Barrow, of the University, President Schur man says: '"Certainly the remarks attributed to me were never made by me nor was anything further from my thoughts than criticism or disparage ment or soutnern civilization. Ameri can civilization seems to be pretty much the same North and South, and for one I shoulj hesitate to say that it is higher in one part of the coun try than in another. What I did say was that I hoped the Southern col leges would receive generous help from the Rockefeller educational I funds.as I believe the financial needs of the Southern colleges greater than those of the Northern. And this sug gestion which 1 made In the interest of the South, I believe the South will indorse.' "it is a far greater pleasure to ac cept this statement from the presi dent of Cornell University than It was to write the criticism evoked by the language duly credited to Mr. Schurman in the press dispatches from New York. "The Georgian was not precipitate in its comment. It was held in re serve for two days waiting a possible denial or disclaimer of the offensive terms imputed to the author. Why this disclaimer was not promptly made we cannot understand. "And why such language should have been unjustly attributed to the presi dent of Cornell is a reflection upon the accuracy or conscience of the men who send out the press dispatches from New York. This is a matter which can be and should be corrected even if it Involves the discharge of the offending Bcribe. The habit of misrepresenting or loosely stating the language of prominent public men is almost criminal in journalism, and should be strongly rebuked. "We have had a recent local in stance of this journalistic misrepre sentation In the case of the Baptist ministers and John D. Rockefeller's money. No reporter should commit a public man to any strong statement unless he took the language in short hand or has afterwards submitted it to the speaker. "The opposite policy entails some grave injustice to prominent men, and Jacob Schurman offers a case in point. "Meanwhile we take pleasure in giv- Ing the widest osslbje pubUcUy to Mr. Schurman's disclaimer, and assure him that his own language as quoted in the paragraph above includes no sentiment or expression which does not please the South. We are sorry that he was so seriously misquoted, and we are glad to understand and applaud his real opinions, which are both broad and generous. "Meanwhile the coment has not been in vain if it has evoked this generous explanation from the dls- in alluding to conditions in the South." I lay these facts before the editors of tie newspapers of the South, re peatlng the assurance that I have Little globules ot sunshine that rtrtrn nlouda awav.

The next session of the North Caro lina State Convention of the Young People's Society of the Christian En deavor will be held In Greensboro April 24.-25. The City Union of Greensboro Is making elaborate prepa rations for the entertainment of all delegates and visitors. Special rates over the railroads have been asked for. and homes will be provided free of charge for the delegates while in the convention city. While the program has not been completed, it may be safely said that it will be a most attractive one. Among the sneakers will be Mr. Wil liam Shaw, of Boston, general secre tary of the international organization of the Christian Endeavor; the Rev. A. 8. Thayler, of Bethlehem, Pa., and other prominent workers of this and other States. Music will be furnished by a large choir under the leadership of a competent musical director. It is earnestly desired that every society in the State be represented at this convntion, as wa;'3 and means for the enlargement of the scope of work of the State organization will be pro vided. K. ti. stocKton, oi Winston- Salem, is State Superintendent. For further information address him, or Charles A. Hines, chairman of the committee on programme and adver tising, at Greensboro. BRIGHT SAYINGS FROM THE DURHAM HERALD. If Thaw's lawyers can prove that he was crazy at the time of the accident Mr. Jerome should have no great trou ble in proving that he is crazy now. Durham has tried the plan of giving it to those who needed it most and as a rule she has got the worst of it. You fellows who had made up your minds not to again vote for Mr.- Bryan might as well begin to think better of it. An attempt may be made to read some of them out of the party but the indications are that they will refuse to get out. If you were to dismantle some of the prohibitionists you would find that they were politicians in disguse. As there are now supposed to be no bucket shops in the State it is of course impossible to account for the Charlotte gentleman's undoing. The plain gambler gives and takes chances on his money, but these stock market speculators think they are bet ting on a certainty and they usually are. Death of Mrs. J. M. Owen. A death, particularly sad, was that of Mr3. John Malloy Owen, which occurred at St. Luke's hospital in Fayetteville, N. C, on the morning of March 7th, 1907. Several weeks previous to her death Mrs. Owen was carried to the ..os pltal ill with typhoid fever contracted in the faithful dicharge of a loving mother's duty in nursing her little son, Edwin, who had for some time been a victim to the same disease. Sad indeed does it seem that in fulfilling the numerous and trying tasks Incident to that position of all others honored by God motherhood she should have been stricken down in the midst of her usefulness when her presence seemed entirely essential to the welfare of her household, her de voted husband, six boys growing into manhood and one baby girl four months old. But God's providences are inscrutable; His ways are unques tionable and to His unerring will we bow. Before her marriage Mrs. Owen was Miss Effle Davis, daugater of the late George Davis and Mrs. Effle McQueen Davis, of Fayetteville. Sne was born April. 5th, 1869, and married John Malloy Owen November 15, 1889, thus having spent eighteen years ot mar ried life. During this time she per formed the tasks that lay nearest to her; those of making a home where God's love ever reigned and training her children to be worthy of His service. Early In her girlhood she became a Christian, uniting herself with Mc pherson's Presbyterian church, under the ministry of the Rev. David Fair ley. Having become well Instructed in the ways of life eternal from her youth, she was eminently fitted for her position in life with which God blessed her, and was always a ionu wife and loving mother. In their loss her loved ones feel that it is not for her but for themselves that they weep for they realise that while her tired hands ar folded in sleep, she has Joined that immortal throng that stand before the Lamb, for of such He has said: "Blessed are the pure In heart, for they shall seed God."

Regular Correspondence. Washington, March 23, 1907. It looks now as though the Monroe Doctrine of blessed memory were go ing to leave the United States with a couple more South American found lings on Its doorstep. Advices to the State Department Indicate that ma rines have landed at Ceibu and Trujil- lo in Honduras, either to protect Amer ican property, or, as is more likely, to prevent any foreign government tak ing a similar step. The war between Honduras and Nicaragua is of great Interest to the outside world. It has something to do with a boundary line and that is about all that anyone has gathered of It. But there have been threats of looting, prompted, doubt less, by Interested governments abroad, and this government. In Ub role of elder brother to the republics of the south, is expected to play po liceman. It was reported that a prom ise had been given by the Nicaraguan government to turn over the first Im portant city captured in Honduras to loot and pillage by the soldiery. This was so utterly at variance with the modern practice of civilized nations that Minister Corea, of Nicaragua, hastened to the State Department to contradict it as soon as it was start ed. The explanation of the story was simple. It might have come either from the one foreign government that is always looking for an excuse to land forces on South American soil to see how far we will go in making good the Monroe Doctrine, or it might have been circulated by any two or three continental powers having large commercial interests In Honduras, and wanting to see the place well policed by the United States without the ex pense of doing it themselves. There is really no thought of serious complications following the Honduras Nicaraguan embrcjj.o. It is generally understood that a.j soon aa one side or the other wins anything like decisive victory, the good offices of this country and Mexico will be of fered, and that one or the other of them will be accepted. It Is thought that this country will manage to have Mexico selected as the arbitra tor as It will relieve the monotony of American Intervention somewhat, and will be equally if not more acceptable to the waring states and to the rest of South America. It will be good training for Mexico, and she is nut likely to be accused of ulterior mo tives by any outside parties. Anybody who has spleen to vent on the railroad world Is hereby invited to walk up and vent it on Mr. Har- riman. He appears to be having a hard time, and the world notoriously I likes to kick a man when he is down. To be sure. Mr. Harriman, if he is down, has many million dollars and several profitable railroads in his pocket. But the general idea seems to be that he is due for the fiercest prosecution the Govermneut can frame up. Senator Cullom. on coming from the White House the other day, said that if there was a law capable of doing it, Mr. Harriman ought to be put behind the bars for a term of years. Governor Deneen unquestion ably came to the White House at the invitation of the President to see what could be done by the State of Illinois in the way of a State prose cution of Harriman for his looting of the Alton. There are two special at torneys for the Interstate Commerce Commission now working on the case of the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific and they will make a report to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion by whom it will be transmitted to the Department of Justice, lor ac tion, if possible, under the Sherman Anti-Trust law. Indeed, it is said tnat mere is a tair chance or con victing Mr. Harriman under the Sher man act, the case of his two railroads being almost the duplicate of the Northern securities case. 1 he railroads as a whole are stil very nervous of action by the admin istration. The fact that Secretary Cortelyou has refused to accept any more railroad bonds as security for bank circulation is thought to be a possible forerunner of action demand ing the withdrawal of bonds already so deposited. The mere fact that Mr. Cortelyou has said that he has such intention is not received with the assurance such a positive statement would seem to wari.i;t. A unmber of the railroads have ta ken a course that is a little puzzling. The Erie, for instance, has issued per emptory orders to stop work on about $8,000,000 worth of improvements. This will mean cancellation of ordrs and throwing thousands of men out of work. One of the big Southern lines has taken the same step,, though its work is not quite so extensive. Many of the other roads have sus pended work on extensions and are doing only the most pressing work of maintenance. The roads taking this action allege that it is almost impossible in the present state of public feeling to get money to carry on their work. This doubtless is true that the situation is not so desperate as the roads make out. It looks more like an organized attempt to start a national depression and to accomplish by this sort of a -threat what the flurry in the stock market did not accomplish, namely, a break in the Presidents policy of railroads legisla tion intended to produce really honest railroads. Much practical work Is being done by the Forest Service in aid of tree planting in the Middle West. The Service has been anxious all along to disseminate as much information as possible about tree planting and to encourage the work. Many important works on tree culture, treating in de tail the different varieties, have been Issued. But it was found that a man was seldom interested in more than one or two varieties of tree adapted to his particular locality. The Serv ice, therefore, has adopted the plan of issuing leaflets on Individual va rieties of trees, each containing just much as the average Inquirer would want to know. These leaflets are printed with a view to their use In certain localities, and farmers and others interested In the culture of the best trees for their own partic ular sections can be furnished much valuable Information in a very small compass by applying or writing to the "Forest service, wasnington, u. and merely sating their locality and asking for the literature bearing on that region. Much money Is being saved on printing and postage and more Is left to be devoted to other lines of forn-t research.
