We learn now from Mr.. Carter Glass
that he did not give out the interview
published in the Washington Post re
Gently, and which caused some remarks
in the SPECTATOR last week. We &C
cept Mr.. Glass's denial, but are sorry
he did not make it Immediately after
the article appeared, then the "silly
evaporation" of the SPECTATOR might
have been avoided, as we'll as the silly
evaporation of Mr.. Glass. Mr.. Glass
was very hard to smoke out. We
waited nearly week for the denial,
and Notwithstanding his paper, the
News, appeared every day he was as
dumb as an oyster until the Clifton
Forge Review and the SPECTATOR ap
peared with some comments OH thai
interview. Was Mr.. Glass going te
allow it to stand uncontradicted We
hope not.

ARNOLD STOCK co. ENGAGEMENT.
"The Blue and the Gray" Opening Bill at
the Opera House Monday Night.

The following is copied from the
Tampa Times concerning the Arnold
Stock Co., which will be here all next
week.
The largest house of the season, with
probably one exception, greeted the
Arnold Stock Company in Midnight
in Chinatown at the Casino last night.
1t was eone of those audiences that
fairly let's itself loose In appreciation
of the play, and that enters FULLY into
the spirit of the plot, cheering the hero
and heroine, Kissing the villain and
laughing heartily at every movement
and utterance of the comedians. The
specialties were new and pleasing--the
Illustrated songs, the German trio and
the tramp monologue calling for en-
thusiastic encores. Foster Ball, the
tramp, was called before the curtain.
This attraction comes to Stauntor
for one solid week, commencing next
Monday night. The opening bill will
be 1.-THE Blue and The Gray and ladies
will be admitted for Is cents on thai
occasion. Tomorrow morning the sale
of seats will commence at Shultz's.

.mous old town. There we saw the
old cathedral with its varied architec-
lure, the main part of which was built
by the Spanish in 1913. Kingston, the
capital, situated on the southern shore
of the island, is quite a pretty city,
having broad streets and avenues,
large public buildings and many hand
some private residences. Vaudeville
is pleasant little town 10 the coffee
and orange growing section of the is
land.
While there, we stayed at a lodging
house kept by native Jamaicans who
gave us five meals day according to
the English custom. One afternoon
we visited large coffee plantation,
containing over 400 acres, owned by an
Englishman. 1t is q ute a novel sight
to see the little donkeys bearing pam
niers loaded with fruit and vegetables,
this is one means of transportation.
The laws of the country are very strict
ly enforced, even in petty cases. and
the judges and magistrates are very
careful of their honor and dignity. A
gentleman tourist told us that one day
he attended court for pastime, and as
it was very warm he began to fan.
when one of the officers of the court
approached him, asking that he would
please discontinue tanning as it dis
turbed the judge. I was surprised to
find that there are no snakes in Jamai
Ca, as there are in most tropical coun.
tries. They have been exterminated
by the mangoose, little animal intro
duced from india, and noted for its
ability to kill the most venomous
snakes without harm to itself.
Now. in conclusion l will say, that
those who enjoy splendid combina
ton of mountain and sea views togeth
er with lovely tropical foliage, flowers
and fruit, cannot be otherwise thar
charmed with Jamaica.

A NEW BURST FROM PELEE.

A most important decision has been
made by the U. 8. Circuit Court in the
case of the United States VS.. the
Northern Securities Company. The
Northern Securities Company was a
corporation chartered under the laws
of the State of New Jersey for the
purpose of acquiring the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern Rail
way, and to merge them into corpo-
ration. This was in direct violation
of the laws of Minnesota, a State in
which these roads had large mileage
and which had granted to both valua-
BILE franchises, large concessions of
land, and other valuable perquisites.
The State had sought to stop the mer.
ger, but these giant corporations
walked over the States distractions
as an elephant walks over an ant hill
The United States stepped in, how
ever, under the Sherman law. The
strong hand of the government was
interposed and its servant the judge
brought forth from it's musty shelf the
code, and for probably the first time
in bis judicial career examined it care
fully to see if the Sherman law really
meant anything, or whether it wal
merely intended to lull to sleep The
public, and leave the corporations tt
greater acts of plumber and rapine
The Judge found in the act not mean
ingless phrases and insipid words, but
law under which he could and should
put an end to this iniquity, and this
decision has shaken the chambers an.
palaces of the rich as Pe!ee shook the
Island of Martinique. CONSERVATION
has beset the entire company, theil
revels have been stopped and they look
upon each other in amazement. Bel
shazzar at his feast was not more awe
stricken, and they are casting about
for means to avert the calamity. Each
is wondering if the calamity will next
befall him, and whether he is one of
the doomed. There is no blood yet
sprinkled upon the door posts, so none
can tell his fate, but there is a shaking
of dry bones and trembling of knees
which but few days ago moved as If
the world shook when they strobe
forth.

HON. WIN. ]. RRYAh's LECTURE.

Mr.. Bryan spoke in Stanton Tues
day night as he was scheduled to do. I
His lecture, "a Coz quering Nation,'
was an effort which could not has e
failed to please even tn Sc who may
have been bis bitteIest political oppo-
nents, or who pretend to see in him
little of the statesman, the orator. or
the Wan. 1t is not of the lecture we
will speak, but of the lecturer. None
in all this broad land but has heard
him praised aud denounced, applaud
ed and condemned, as few men have
been In our day and generation. be
has enemies Of course, but they are
not personal. Politics has brought
upon him whatever of anathema he
has endured. Personally no good,
true man could come in touch with
him but to fad in him much to admire.
That he is one of the greatest men of
his day needs no confirmation at our
hands. His reception in Staunton Was
such an ovation as few have ever re-
ceived. The President of the United
States might reach here today and no
such an assembly would greet him
Men high in national affairs might be
among us, and few so poor to do them
reverence, but when Mr.. Bryan comes
crowds hang about the station. gather
at the points he will pass, and cheer
him when he appears. There is gen
tleness about his movements, a SINGER
ity about his utterances, and d kindli-
ness in his nature which appeals to
high and low, and draws the people to
him, because they feel instinctlvely
that were he at the head of this ma
ton he would endeavor honestly and
truly to lift it up. He is one whom
eve ia Ligh place would give heed to
the rights of those who bear the heat
and burden Of the day, the weight OF
t he government. In the mad rush OF
politics and the sweep of business,
these are usually forgotten. The rich,
receive notice, and the worthless IA
yOrs, but the masses are neglected,
or if rem rendered they are remember
ed only that their usefulness to the
great and powerful may be further
increased, or that they may be further
despoiled for favOrites, and their sub
stance further Cleaned to garnish the
dishes on the table of Dives. In pri-
vate Mr.. Bryan is as great as in pub
lie. No man has been SO bitterly de-
no unced as be, and yet he has borne it
with meekness almost supernatural.
He seems to treasure malice toward
no one, and yet he has many griev-
ances which if they ranked in any
brea st but his, would cause malice to
flash forth upon every occasion, and
drive its fangs deep into its enemies.
We trust we may hear him often
and as great political battle is
to be fought next year the murmur
ings of which can low be distinctly
heard. we trust we may hear him Oh

has no equal in this day and genera
