THE NEGRO vOrEIN MARYLAND

Il don't hesitate moment to say that
l am in favor of law DISTINGUISHING the
negroes, exclaimed Mr.. Isidor Raynor,
candidate for the Senate in Maryland in
a speech in Baltimore on Tuesday night.
Il am in favor of such a law" he added,
because the right of suffrage never ought
to have been conferred on the negro;
because the amendment to the Fedora!
Constitution giving him that right was
never constitutionally adopted"
Mr.. German did not go so far but his
speech at Laurel put the negro ques-
ton to the front in the Maryland CAM
paign. The. negroes cast one-fifth of the
votes polled in Maryland. and if the
Democrats win they will no doubt adopt
some constitutional amendment booking
to DISTINGUISHING all the negroes EXCEPT
those who are educated.

more surprised individual was never
seen than Judge Allen yesterday after
noon when man was brought up for
beating his way on a train He was an
1rishman and told the court he was at
Spencer and some Of the boys tanked HIM
up with liquor and told him to bounce the
train on his way home to Portsmouth.
He said 1T did not know it was unlawful
and did so. At Greensboro he was pulled
off and sent to court, having been in Jail
thirty-three days what kind of Il law
Is this, Mr. SoEcitor?' asked His Honor;
Il don't remember it." He was told that
the last Legislature made it a INSIDE
meanor to beat ones way on, trains, re-
quiring defendants to be sent to the SUI
perior Court, magistrates having no Juris-
diction. Then Judge Allen submitted
few remarks and they were hot from the
shoulder. He said it was nothing but a
law to protect private property, purely
and solely, and learning that about forty
cases were on the docket just month
ago, he added that it would cost this coun-
ty about a thousand dollars to protect the
railway company. In all his work he had
never before encountered the law and said
1T was queer it was not being enforced
anywhere else. He said that if it was
deemed wise to pass it at all that mag s.
trates and mayors certainly should have
been given jurisdiction and he chara cter-
lied 1t as outrageous, to which the public

contended all the time that the law was

HOW DRAINAGE BENEFITS.

The Lumberton Robesonian urges an APP
preparation by Congress to drain Lum-
Der river. 1t says that it would make
thousands of acres Of land available and
valuable. Here is strong argument
given by the Robesonian:
'An instance of the good which could
be accomplished for the farming lands by
drainage on a large scale can be seer
in those sections lying along the Great
Swamp where the Buffers Lumber Com
pany has dug great canals and thoroughly
drained the lands. We have been told
that property lying along the swamp, un-
til then almost useless and valued ri
only one dollar per acre, is now valued
at $40 and yields from Is to 100 bushels OF
corn per acre. This is only an illustra-
ton of what could be accomplished lii
these lands lying along the river If the
necessary drainage is furnished"
Much other land in North Carolina
would become quite as valuable by proper
drainage, and when the population be
comes more dense thousands and tens ct
| thousands of acres of such land will be
drained and made to produce splendid
crops.

chairman, said that nothing was done that
can be made public at present THE com
mittee discussed various propositions and
details with reference to the liquidation
Of the firms, but there is nothing to be
made public just yet, said Mr. Davidson.
Final action was not taken on any of the
propositions and nothing is to be said
about them
Mr.. Davidson was asked if the offers
included one for the purchase of the two
firms large holding of stock of the Sea
board Air Line Railway, and his only re-
ply was: Il cannot say anything about
that now
Mr.. John Shelton Williams, head of the
firm Of John L. Williams & Sons and
president of the Seaboard, still says that
his Observation-Disclosures & Co.-and their
associates control the Seaboard, and it is
known that they are very anxious to hold
on to it.
1t was reported in financial circles yes
terday that proposition had been re-
celved to purchase in block all OF the
Seaboard stock held by the two firms. If
so, it * the impression that the offer came
from either the Rock Island interests,
which recently acquired a large lot of Sea
board stock and are said to be anxious
TO secure control OF the property, the
Gould interests or a syndicate of Balti-
more, Richmond and other Southern capt.
talists There has been considerable talk
recently of such syndicate forming for
the purpose OF keeping control of the road
in the South. 1t is believed that if the
Rock Island or Gould interests or other
Northern or Western people secure dom
mating power Baltimore and the South
will lose its identity with the property
With this in view, it is said a syndicate
is being, or has been, formed by tinanclers
who have great faith in the future of the
Seaboard system.-Baltimore Sun.

Diogenes died too soon. If he mad lived
until today he would put up at the house

begged to learn honesty of him.

A Word For Chief of Police.

To the Editor: Your reference in the
News and Observer Of this morning 20
the proof Of character some weeks ago
by female keeper Of a house Of lll-fame,
by the chief of police of this city, Is
calculated to do that very efficient officer
serious injury among citizens who do not
know the facts, and your criticism must
arise from the same cause.
In the case in question the defendant
was on trial on a warrant sworn out by
the chief of police for retailing liquor
without license, and there was direct con-
flict in the testimony of the one State
witness, whose condition at the time Of
the alleged sale, was such that he did noS
remember distinctly what took place, and
the defendant and her witnesses. To su3-
tain the defendant the chief of police was
asked what was the character of the de-
PENDANT for truth and veracity. The IN
quiry was not as to general character
The answer was that it was good and this
fact could have been further proven by
a number of the best citizens of the city,
if it had been necessary to have done so.
The authority for this special proof is to
be found in the case of the State vs..
Daniel, S7th n. C. Reports. at page 5OT
character the answer must have been
different
The city of Raleigh has never had =
more popular and efficient officer than the
present chief of police. He was not a
voluntary witness and should not be critl-
cised for being compelled by the law to
testify to the truth as he conceived it 70
be. Officers and other persons should not
be denounced when they give testimony
under compulsion, because juries are pre-
sumed to be influenced by the character
of the witnesses before them, when there
is conflict as to the facts. When iurles
are not so guided they will be confused
and may not always be able to determine
the truth of the controversy submitted for
their decision.
l have thus written in justice to a pub
lie servant, because having appeared Tor
the defendant the facts as hereinbefore
stated, are within my personal knowledge.

SELLING IMMUNITY FROM TAX.
ALTON.

ONO Democrats are scattering leaflets
over the State showing that the RAILROADS.
o. that State are appraised for taxation
al about 20 per cent of their true value
on the average, while farm and other
kinds of property are taxed on 60 per cent
o. their estimated true value. If the rail-
roads were taxed on an equality with
iarm and city residence property they
would pay 44S4, 400 more in taxes to tho
various counties of the State than they
do. Republican orators do not dispute
these figures. Is it any wonder that vie
republican campaign box is full and run
Ing over? 1t is cheaper to buy immunity
from taxation by big campaign contribu-
tions to the dominant party than to pay
fair taxes.
When the Pretorian Guard sold the
imperial dignity in Rome, that act was
supposed to mark the very deepest abase-
ment of political degradation The Preto-
rians of Ohio give to the railroads of
that State every year four and a half
million dollars exemption from taxation
in return for big campaign contributions
to the Republican campaign fund The
Romans were not "in it" in comparison
with the Ohio Republicans.
The news comes from Ohio that not
even in 1896 did the Republicans spend so
much money as they are spending to
crush Tom Johnson. AS long as they
let the corporations off from taxation
they can get all the Doodle they can
spend. That's Hannaism in American pol
itics and it is corruption upon such mag
nitude as to inperil free government.

Rev. P. r. Law. in communication
in the Lumberton Robesonian, proposes
a Reunion of the sons of Robson to be
held in the large chapel of the South
ern Presbyterian College and Conserve
tory of Music at Red Springs. 1t Is a
good suggestion. Robson has given to
i other counties and to other States many
first-class men and kept many more un-
der its own vine and fig tree. A reunion
would be an occasion of pleasure and
value.
