REMOVE THE GRADE CROSSIN( The Hdvald and News has severa times urged the widening of Mail street along the birned district am also the opening of a street to ex tend the street whichi starts at ti Hotel Frederick and runs down b the opera house through this sam property anid to see if arrangement could not bg made with the two rail roads to have the street run beneatl the railroads and intersect with thi street in West End at the Mayer Me morial Lutheran church. We under stand that if the city council woulf take the matter lp that the railroad would be very glad to build an are under the tracks covering a stree twenty or thirty feet in width. rl fact, Mr. Childs. president of the C N. & L., told us a few days ago that lie would be glad to co-operate with the city Council in having this streel made under the tracks. and we are sure that President Spencer, of the Southern, would4 he very glad to do the same thinlg. It would enable the railroads and thie city to be practical ly rid of the grade crossing inar the Southern depot, and give the pen ple who live oll the West side of the depot ani opportunity to Colme to town without having to pass over t1w grade crossing and also drays, and others having business at the South ern freight depot, nil opportunity to get to the depot without the grade crossing. 'It very frequently happens that there iare freight trains and passen ger trains on bothI1 roads so that traf fie is blocked necessar-ily for somt. tme. Besides that, there is always more or less danl ger in a grde cros ilg and especially In one ver 1 whieh there is as meh traie as there is between tle freiglt delt and ithe city. This is a iai ter of considerable importance and we hope that our city authorities will take it up with the railroads without. delay and we hope that our city authorities will take it utp with the railroads without delay and we feel sure that if they do, re sults can be accomplished. President W. 0. Childs says that lie will begin work onl straightening out the track and arranging for the union station this week. That he has been delayed on account of some bad wreeks on his road by which one or two engines were disabled. Ie has placed an order for a new engine which was to have been delivered by the first of May, but which lie will not receive until probaly the first of July, but that ini any event, work will be commenced this week. TPhe t ramfe aissociat ion which wvas temp)orarily organizced at Belto~n on IMay 11th, will hold anoither mneetinig in GIreenville tod(ay. This p)romnises to be a very large anmd a very repre -senative me~et ing. Not only will representatives be presenft from t h Piedmont, hut we not ice that Char. leston is going to send a strong dee gation and the. whole matter of schedules will b e discussed. Let all the editois remember that the South Carolina Press association meets this year at the Isle of Palms on June 27-29 and that the Charles. ton people want you to come. To the esteemed Newberry Heriald~ and News: D)oes your~ old lien eat cabbage snakes ?-And(erson D)aily Mail. Surely our lhen has not caused yati to see snakes. She does nodt eat themr andh does nodt have to. The peop)le of Lanurens are making elforts to have thie early morning train on the C. N. & L. leave Colm biai at 4 o'clock in the morining so a. to bring the mail from C olhinmbia and especially the morning paper's. Presi denit Childs says lie will hold hi. train until that. time if arrangements can be made withI his coniiect ions at 4Lurenis over' the C. aiid W. C. T his schedule would be a 'onivienice to all parties along the line. Now, if the Laurens peoQple would co-opeirato with Newbeiry an~d othem points to get the morning and after~ 11001n train on this line a mail train they would then have good mail fa cilities. Th le government should pay Presi dlent Childs something extra for haul * g the mail and the mail clerk. Let *ts all get together oin this proposi. /~** - tion 2,s ' That was an unfortunate occn rence between Major Black and MIr Lyon. It seems to us that Majoi Black male a very great mistak4 - from any view point. If there. i: notliig, in the public record of Maj Black that is wrong the fullest in vestigation can not hurt him. I there is the attack which lie made or MIIr. Lyonl cannot Suppress it. W( tdo not kno '!iything about either but we sli' 1 to see tle evidenec 1 before we are convinced (lint there i.

The state campaign opens at St Georges on June 19 and closes at Laurens. Newberry will not be reachied until about the close of tho campaign., REPUTATION MARRED. Only Tillman and Bailey Seem to Have Scored Triumph-Deep En ..mities Engendered-What the President Has Lost. A Washiington special to the Phila (dlpinj ,iedger says: The passage of the rate bill on Fridav ended what is universally agreed to have been the greatest (lebate known in Washing ton for many years. No greater dis play of skill, learning and ability is recalledI by the habitual students of legislation, who in Washington for a class. Neither has any legislation called for greater exercise of political prowess. The bill has been as ably contested by the wirepullers as it has been hy the debaters. In no debate in recent years has lite perisonal feature figured so large ly. The intensity of tle struggle persolified the various issues in va rion.s mII. Fromn1 the beginning these personalities have been stea(ily grow ing lar,er. till all other personalities inl theSen late. hlave been pale and meaningiiless besides tihem. The most notable among tlhem hiave been Bail ey. Tillmn. Spooner. Ahlrich, Knox. Foraker, Allison, LaFollette,- L<mg, Dolliver antd. qf course the president himself. In focusingthe eyes (if the country oi the intellectual -reatiess of the Senate and putting an end, at least for the time, to the senile talk about that body's ''decay'' since the days of Stmnier, the rate bill, in the opinion oif observers here, has ac complished sometliing not set down on the cards; something possibly of permanent value to the country. Yet now that the smoke is gone the gieneral verdict is that nearly every body in the front of the fight has pai(d a heavy price for it in the de crease (If hiis own reputation ; that onily two meni have come out of it withI increased rep)utat ion-Bailey and Tillman. The (debate, it is generally agreed. has revealed the real .personalities (If sonmc meni who have not .hitherto been cuirreet ly uinderst4od. Be'forie lie rate bill came up, Tillman, to the counitriy, was a swashi-bucklinig dlema gog~ue. He .was not that to Washing ton; here his great ability, his cour age, manliness and honesty~ were as wyell known as his dlefinite puripose to serve his countr'y well. The old Till man, the imaginary Tilhh~an, is gone forev'er, and the real Tillmain has tak en his place. For years the newspaper eoimes pondents had b)een vainly trying to hammer home the real Bailey, Bailey the statesman, and had found it next toi imp1ossible to overcome the )ppu lar preconception of the freak Bailey who wouldn 't wear a swallow-tail coat. Another misconception is gone forever. The Fame of Aldrich. So tre~mendouos has the persoinality of Aldrich loomed up in this coin roversy that it is dlifficult. now to realize that a short time ago lie was onily a iiamne to the average newspa. per reader. Six months ago it is safe to say that his face, now~ so well known through p)ortraits and ear to(lns, was hardly known to such readlers. A year ago, in steering v'isi. tors through the Senate galleries, WVashingtonians were exaspe)raited to imr e thir iexplanatioIns met with '' What is his name,' dlid you sayl A Idich?7 Where is lie from? -Oh, it Seniator D)epew~ lhee?'' -- Aldrich may be regarded as an ex~ ception to the statement that only3 Bailey 'and Tillman have com( through the ordeal with increased reputation, but the kind of reputa. tion Aldrich has won is a kinid that a man pa ys dlearly for. Whether it is just or unjust Aldrich is now~ fixed indelibly in'thec minds of a ma jority of his countrymen as the rep~ resentativo 'of certaiin interests that that majority would like .to see curb r ed. That is one picture whielf'th debate has added to the portrait ga lery of the nation. and it is que tionable whether Aldrich regards' ti iniveisal admirition for his genil as a Politiciai,i a snatcher of victol out of defeat, as balancing the a count. The great speeches of Kno: Spooner and Foraker wol instant at Iiratiol and high tribute, yet notI ing for. which alny of them contendf has been enacted into law; the recommendations wer-e disregarde< It has been a bad winter for Spoone His fame as a lawyer and statesina wts already so great that lie did n< need the admiration for his speev to complete it, and to pay for thi both he and Knox had to suffer thei complete route and total eclipse i the speech of Bailey. That is som thing that never happened to thei before. Spooner went so long uneha lenged and victorious that he impre. sionl becamlile conviction ill Washinf ton that nobody could overcome hin He was supposed to be invincible an invulnerable. Hailey demonstrate that Spooner was an Achilles. Ths invincible one was found vulnerabi and fell. So. balancing the account, neithe lie nor Knox, who had not so much t lose because lie had not built ui Spooner's reputation for invincibil ity. came out of the fight without i loss of fame. How Foraker is regarded now i1 the country at large it is difficult foi Washington to tell. Here there i nothing but admiration for the cour ageous and dogged way in which h, stuck to his unpopular convictions t4 the very end. Foraker had presiden tial ambitions yast year. It is as sumed] that he has given them up fo the sake of his convictions. Dolliver, Clapp. Cullom and Lou 1ave suffered all through the flght and for weeks they have presented I hium1oron ratiher thain an inipressiv4 spectacle. They started out t. voice the Presideit's desires,. but founl theniselves inable to accuratelv fol low the chan1ges of the chief execu live's miinl. Roosevelt's Fall. That the president has suffered im pairnent (if reputation as a result o the Tillman-(Ciandler-Bailey affal seems conceded, and it is regardei here as a pity. siiCe 1no) Oie withhold from him the credit attachinlg to tht passage of the bill.. That his fami should have been clouded in the mQ ment of triumph is a niattei for soi r1owful comment here. ' There -is i question that his, mistake was dil to the constant warning dangled be fore his eyes that if lie passed thi bill with Democratic votes lie woul split his party. He yielded to tha at last, and did himself inealculabb damage. One feature which has escape< comment has been the third party it the senate-the two senators fron Alabama. Morgan is the typ)ica mugwunp. He votes against his pari ty at least as often as he votes wit] lit, and invariably take's thle monorit.; side of everything. He and his veni erabhie satelite, Pettuis, took thb ground from the beginning that thi great p)rincip)le of States rights wa: end(anigered by the bill. Their combined ages foot up to 161 years. Both of them wree Confed crate generals ini the civil wat Throughout this whole debate, whil the two great parties in the Senat have been discoursing on ''just comr pensation,'' ''fairly remunerativ' rates,'' ''broad and narrow review, the- two fine old rebels-have been vol ing steadily for the ''lost cause. With the Bonnie Blue Fag abov them, they hav'e been fighting steadi ly under Lee and Jefferson Davis, a they fought forty years ago and hav fought ever since. They votedl r< solutely against ever~y amendmnen that was offered and( finally vote against the bill. LaFollette has been a strikini figure. From the outset his Repul lican colleagues have persistenti snIubb)ed, hazed and even openly ir sulted hinm. Thle tr'eatiment to whik he has been subjected by Gallingt ar Hale, with the other republicn following in their wake, is withoi a recent precedent. Openly express edi contempt and derision has accon panied the more ordinary methods hazing. LaFollette has kept hi temper, but jlust ,before he east hl vote his feelings burst from him i a warning about the coming eletio: LaFollette knows that lie does n<4 stand alone. He knows that he rej senits the i'iewvs of a great State, e: pressed over and over again at ti pol11s, and his resentment at his treal mont is not 'lessened by a sense power. The treatment of him has bee based not only on a detestation of hi radical views, but on a feeling ( friendship for Spooner,-=whom, LI I....... isf Years kt 1 d i Ma .e & G. THE -Foilette has dethroned and who. r senatorial seat will probably 1: taken from him when his term end: 11t purpose to drive LaFollette it the democratic party has been oper I lv shown and is ujnquestionable. Tli of this incident is not yet. Enmities Engendered.

Dolliver and Aldrich r S!o,ver speak wiei they meet. T ,1ity betweenl them beganl wlic Aldrich east the rate bill into tl hanlds of Tillman, and when Dol ver, white. with passion, told him s was a trick no gentleman wdild pla; Bailey and Bacon barely recogni each other. Bailey and - Culbersc are at swords points. Both Baec - nd Culberson are bitterly jealous < the fame which Bailey has. achieve, --and throughout the long fight th( both like Trojans to thwart him ai bring him to defeat. To them is a sdribed the fact tlhAt eight democrat t. senators refused to stand by the pa , ty policy on the Baily amendment. The democratic leaders are 'bitt against the president. The young branch of republicans of the Dolliv class, have broken completely wi the older crowd, despite the coi p lromnise that was forced through f< the saving of party regularity. Mo gan, Petus and the old-time Sout1 erni senators have broken with 11 Syouniger element in their party, element which wvill be strengthen' in the next congress by the electio1 ~in Arkansas and Tennessee. Knox and Spooner are bit terly ho tile to the White House. Wheni ti fight began both were on cordi terms with the president, whlo Is such confidence in Knox that lie s out by intrusting the bill to the Pen *sylvanian 's hands. Nowv both are wvar with him. .The finishing tou< with Snooner Was the Chandler re elatiouis, hut Knox had ivashed 1I ehands of the White House long b efore. The bitterness of both is e treme.
