TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 8. ' 1904.-
Xnd now our Aberdeen friend. The
Telegram, enters upon ,,Its. eleventh
year of usefulness. "It is a sound, safe."
conservative, public-spirited paper and
deserves a liberal support. We wish It
may have all that it really deserves.
It is said that President Roosevelt Is
anxious for Senator Fairbanks of In
diana to be his running mate, and ex
Secretary of War Root to be his party's
candidate for Governor of New. York.
He evidently appreciates the Impor
tance of Indiana' and New York in his
business this fall.
Mr. William R. Hearst has had him
self 1 organised Into a trust under the
taws of New Jersey and taken over the
control of his three papers published
la New York city. Now If he will take
over the Commoner with his Chicago,
San Ftandsco and Los Angeles papers
the combination will be as natural and
logical as complete.
That Is an important address direct
ed to the farmers of the State by State
Secretary T. B. Parker, published else
where In the Post. If the time ever
existed when it was to the Interest" of
farmera to organize that time is now, j averted, . and believed that an out
la view of present and prospective con- i break was fraught with so many cal-
dltions with respect to their crops. We'
cordially commend tha call of Mr. ' Par
ker to tha farmera, .
Those who are complimenting Roose
velt for appo4hting a white postmaster
at Indianola apparently overlook the
fact that he twice offered it to the
negro woman before giving it to a
white man. The latter was appointed
solsly because the negress wouldn't
have . It. If the President' is entitled
to any boouets for bis course In the
premises they should be made of gourd
blossom, suggests tha Montgomery
Advertiser.
While Mr. Cleveland Is not the first
choice of our friend of the Robersoh
vllle News, he says "If he is the only
man who - can guide the Democracy
safely into harbor trot him out."
The party will at least go into the
campaign under Mr. Cleveland .with
more confidence than under any other
man. And this counts for a vast deal
in a -fight, such as we are going td
have, and it is. not going to be child's
Play by any toeana. "
THE POST AND ITS WESTERN FRIENDS :
Th failure rif the - Post . to reach
promptly its ; patrons la the Western
section of the State had become so
frequent I" It " became necessary to
carry the matter up to the department
at .Washington. '. -It Was demonstrated
that the' labor entailed upon the postai
clerks was so heavy that with their
'earnest
;
efforts . It waa often - im
possible . to separate the pacx
ayes for the various offices before the
train bad reached and passed them.
Our.. Mr. Whltaker, business manageT
of the Post, under the safe and per-,
suaslve conduct of Senator Overman
called upon Postmaster General Payne,
and other officers, and. after showing:
the basis of our complaint, urged that
the only remedy was an Increase of
the mail olerK force on tha trains going
west from Raleigh. The Postmaster
General appreciated the situation and
promised that the readers of the Post
west of Raleigh should .no longer be
. disappointed in receiving their favorite
paper promptly on the morning of pub-
ucat and assured Senator Overman
Whltaker that the remedy
"
suggested should soon be applied.
So on Wednesday postal clerks will
run on trains 111 and 112, starting from
Goldsborcv which will -enable them to
handle the heavy bundles of the Post
and Beparate deliver
them to
. t, !,
e respective offices between Raleigh
and Charlotte promptly- . r
The Post, for itself and the ptablic
involvedt appreciates this promptness
i Payne and his subordinates; and wish
Lu mane at7is.xiuwicujscmciit ou iu o-it-
ator Overman for his kindly personal
.... . .. j
attention.
Our friends throughout: the western
section from Raleigh to Cherokee-
may expect their paper promptly here
after. BALTIMORE IN RUINS
A calamity ; appalling . beyond des
xaiptlon.has visited Baltimore. Within
a, few .hours what -was the heart of a
virile, happy, progressive life has
been destroyed by the flre-flend, even
extending Its work of destruction to
the extremetles.
All day yesterday the minds of our
people were upfcn Baltimore, and news
of the horror was sought with feelings
far. beyond, curiosity. It was heartfelt
sympathy for a people who, personally
and commercially are very near to our
people and their affliction at once be
came our. sorrow and distress. Thus
do our people feel, and pray, 'on ac
count, of: the sore misfortune which
has" overtaken the mou'nmental city.
The loss is something Tearful. That
of , the Chicago Are was stated to be
aoout 190 millions of dollars. This at
Baltimore will easily go above the ICO
million mark, placing it In the
class of great historic conflagrations.
- There will be suffering along with
we, monetary tosses. -j. nousanxls are
made homeless, and, what is even more
Immediately heartrending, will be out
of employment or the means of earn
ing their jdally bread. May a kind
Providence help them! the Stricken
community of itself will not be able
to do so before some suffering Is under
gone at least. In time there can be ho
doubt but that the hand of generosity
of the people, generally, ever open to
the 'first appeal of calamity, will reach
out and succor the needy. We only
hope the suffering of the poor will be
of the shortest duration.
Quite every, disaster this year
has been far beyond the ordinary in
loss of property and of lives. Truly
It has started out upon a car
eer, of grave casualties as well as high
crimes. May it soon surfeit of such.
IT LOOKS LIKE WAR
The news of yesterday Indicates war
in fact between Russia and Japan.
We . have earnestly hoped it would be
amltious possibilities. Involving other
nations, that the latter would use
pressure enough to prevent it. .

THE NORTHERN SECURITIES CASE
The Washington Times says:',
all over the United Spates und ruot of
Europe are awaiting the action of the
Supreme Court in the Xforthcrn Securl

the fact that dozens of combinations
