TO q ChfId.
This lesson of law and obedience,
then. is II that needs to combine
with love in the very first instruction
given to the child. When a boy hears
his father say, "My son, do this" the
impression made upon him needs t be
like that made upon the old Hebrews
by a "Thus saith the Lord" His
father is the only almighty, practical
ly, that the boy has during the first
years of his life. Obedience is worth
more than geography.-Rev. Charles

This afternoon District-Attorney. Gra-

The District Attorney referred to the

JACKSONVILLE. FLA, March S.-
Promptly at 80 to-day Governor Nc
kinley. escorted by the members OF the
Reception Committee, left the ST. James
Hotel and started on a drive through the
city. After taking in all the sights the
party returned TO the hotel, and, being
Joined by Mrs. Mckinley and maid,
General Osborne, Mr. Hanna. and Mr..
Smith. drove to the Union station and
took the 1870 train for ST. Augustine.
Hon. John G. Long. Of st. Augustine, ac-
companled the party to the depot, and
went to st. Augustine with them. Quite
a number OF well-known white Republl-
cans were at the depot TO see the Gov
erDor off. and wishes were expressed that
he make a brief speech, but this he de-
cined 10 do, as he was not feeling well.
A pleasing incident at the depot was
meeting between Mrs. Mckinley and
Director General Davis, Of the worlds
Fair Mrs. Mckinley was In the car
when she recognized the General. ana
invited him to enter. He did SO, and they
had quite a pleasant chat.
NoI
The negro Republicans were conspicu-
Gus by their absence at the depot. ana
the ony one who has shown any en-
thusiasm over the Governors arrival Is
old man Albert Shaw, who keeps store
on the corner Of Bay and Second streets.
Ai0ert hung around the depot nearly all
day Wednesday. and when the Governor
arrived was one OF the first to snake
him by the hand.
In his room at the 81. James this
morning Governor Mckinley was saited
upon by the members Of the negro com
mittee which had invited him to attend
q reception given under the auspices OF
their race. The Governor received the
negroes kindly. but teld them he would
be Obliged to decline their request. The
Governor and his managers have shown
a Discrimination to be publicly associated
with the colored element of the Republl-
can party, but they have been shrewd
about IL. and the negro evidently does
not know yet that the color line has
been practically drawn, so far as the
public is concerned.
WORKING ON THE SLY.
While this is true, II IS evident that
Governor Mcklnley's managers are also
quietly at work to secure the Influence

this morning General Osborne, Of Boston,
was coseted with Joseph Lee. who is

present Eagan Is accused OF training
with the negro element. and II Is sup
posed that Osborne was explaining 10
him and Lee why the Governor refused
70 attend the negro reception.
All communication Of the Governor ana
his managers with the negroes has been
conducted most quietly. and in such a
way a. not to offend the whites. II Is
evidently the intention Of the Governor s
managers to outwardly accept the south
ern view oi the negro question for pur-
poses OF his campaign In this section for

bids are made for negro support Will be
made surreptiticusly.
