uNlusT FREIoHT RATgs.

The Southwestern Grain Journal.
which Is the organ Of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association, has taken
up the question Of freight rates for the
purpose Of showing the unjust discrim-
ination Of the railroads against Kan
sas and Oklahoma shippers. II would
appear fron the discussion that the
Grain Journal makes out a good case,
and that the RAILROADS really use the
Kansas and Oklahoma shipper as a
special object Of plllage II the rate
for first class freight in Illinois is 1884
cents per lOe pounds It is pretty diff
fcult to understand why the rate on
the same class Of goods IN Kansas
should be 50 cents and Oklahoma 81
cents. The Topeka Capitsi discussing
this subject makes good point IN he
following, which applies equally 70
Oklahoma:
There Is always a lot OF blurter
aboat the railroads when the legisla-
ture meets in Kansas, and we now
have a board Of commisslone . which
is supposed to stand between the ship

people are treated fairly. but Up 70 this

but SO far as securing the people

roads is concerned there might as well
be no board.
1T has often been snarged that the
railroads dominate the legislature and
every state administration, and If one
could dalye beneath the surface he
might find that this is not altogether
wrong There is a way to adjust these
inequalities and bring the railroads TO

will find IL; but it will not be until

okLAHomANs AGAINST
STATEHOOD
(st Louis Globe Democrat.)

(st Louis Globe Democrat)
According to the Washington cor
respondent of Philadelphia paper,
the Republicans Of Oklahoma prefer
70 stay out of the Union until 1906 to
coming into statehood In 1908 or 1904
with the Indian territory Joined to
them One OF the objections which is
cited is that the land laws of the In.
dian territory will be in such shape
until that year that the Indian lands
can not be taxed. and therefore the
sss,s...sa.. a. ,s...sa ts.rsiitto-y could not contribute
its share to the support Of a state
government and the establishment OF
a school system. But the principal
reason which is assigned for opposi-
tion to union with the Indian territory
is that The big state would be over
whelmingly Democratic.
The latter objection Is not quite so
strong as It looks on the surface Ok
lahoma itself Is probably Democratic
on a fair vote All the lead that the
Republican candidate to congress from
Oklahoma received in 1902 was 3a4,
out OF total vote OF $4,000. II was
said during the canvass of 1902 that
the Democrats would not make seri-
ous attempt to win In Oklahoma, as
they believed that Republican victory
In that year would have a good deal
OF influence IN favor Of admission with
a Republican congress. The Republt
can margin was SO small even with
many OF the Democrats unwilling Ia
pee their candidate win. that the Re
publicans OF the territory ought tc
grasp the situation.
SO lar as the partisan question viii
enter into the issue Of admission IN
any shape It viii be against 'i,e con
ention Of the persons who ask for the
admission OF Oklahoma as a separate
state The Indian territory Is prob.
ably Democratic by 5000 or 10000
votes. Oklahoma, as Il stands now, Is
probably Dcmocr8;ic by 1000 or 5.O00
The opening Of the new reservations
IN 1901. which we're peopled largely
from Texas and Arkansas. has worked
a great change ia the partisan com
pioxion OF the territory Admitted as
separate states these two territories
would hNieh logr Democratic e,asa-
tor. Admitted as one state they
would furnish only two Democratic.

Alleged
Capitalist Reaches the End
Of His Financial Career

Sheriff Carpenter returned from
Lawton this morning, having in Gus
tody Rufus COnnella a foremr Lawton
banker attorney and alleged capitalist
who is wanted in Guthrie to answer to
complaint sworn out by the Guth-
rio National bank charging him with
forgery The cause for the complaint
is a loan advanced by the bank on
bonds which were given by CoRnella to
the Oklahoma Bond and Trust com
pany that afterwards attempted to
sell them to Chicago parties. Whila
the deal was in progress the Guthrie
National advanced $4,000 and when
the bonds were not accepted the bank
at once commenced action for the re-
covery Of the money. It was rumored
also that Connella was ina4bted TO
the Capitol National bank but this
Cashier Nelson denied this afternoon.
The Bank Of Commerce has succeeded
in securing an amount of money which
Connella was indebted 10 H.
Connella was arrested az Lawton
several months ago charged with the
forgery OF school warrants amounting
to several thousands Of dollars. Soon
afterwards the Bank OF lndiahoma,
the Bank Of Hedrick and the Bank Of
Sterling, all owned by Connella were
closed by Bank Commissioners Cooper.
Since that time Connella has been IN
Lawton.

SOME PLAIN TALK
BY. Rev. Dr.. Bartlett Of Chicago on
Subject of Lynching.

Chicago, June 2S.-'I am no advocate
of lynching or of mob law. but | would
rather see community wrought to the
highest pitch over crimes that would
seem impossible this side Of hell, than to
remain apathetc." was the declaration
of the Rev. DIR. w. A. Bartlett at the
First Congregational church. today, In a
prelude on Lynching from Another Point
Of View
DR.. Bartlett said among other things:
I'VE shudder at the torture OF the Grim
inal who fs burned but apparently forget
to shudder for the innocent girl, whose
mental and spiritual agony is tenfod
greater than that of the fire. This Is not
q race problem, except 50 far as one race
are the offenders. The white man who
commits the same crime Is justly as
guilty.
The indignant uprising of the COM
munity and some of the best men In II.
to avenge n wrong of such awful magni-
tude, may be technically laWless, but the
spirit which causes the uprising IL the
reflection of higher civilization.
|. Il say that when you look at a lynch
ing from another view point. 1t is simply
the bursting forth of an Indignation and
loathing that will not be checked In
the Old Testament days they made short
work of such an offender.
"Lynchng is certainly n bad method
and forms the habit OF disorder and
be avoided. there certainly is called for a
more sure and speedy trial of these
wretches, who often brazenly deny crime
amid red tape of legal processes, but con-
fess abjectly when confronted with de-
termined men.
1T is useless to bring to trial good men,
who rise up to protect their firesides. The
community will not bear 1t. If men OBJ
iect to being burned, let them cease from
crimes which make nation sick"

A FAST BOAT.
Shamrock III Beats the Old
Boat by Ten Minutes.
Undoubtedly the Most Dangerous
Challenger We've Yet Seen.
VIII Race Again, Today-our Yachts
at Bristol.

| New York, June 2S.-Sir Thomas Lip
toms new cup challenger Shamrock III
was given her first test in American
waters, Saturday. In an informal trial
with Shamrock | off Sandy Hook. In
the first 10 minutes of a 15-mile meat to
windward in n very light air, the new
boat beat the old one about 10 minutes,
and in a run of u miles to leeward by
! . minutes. There was a long gentle
sea and the new challenger slipped
clearly over it, making little fuss under
her bow
Taking into consideration the asser-
ton by English yachtsmen that Sham
rock I is 10 minutes faster in a 30 mile
course than she ever was and fully as
much faster than Shamrock II, the new
boats performance on this side of the
Atlantic marks her as probably the
most dangerous challenger Sir Thomas
has ever brought over. In a light air
and smooth water she showed herself
to be very fast.
The Shamrocks left Tompkinsville, S.
T., at 1913 A. NJ, and were towed by the
Erin and Cruiser to Scotland lightship,
saluted on the way by every passing
steamer.
Tow lines We're cast off at 1920 Sir
Thomas and Designer Fife boarded the
Shamrock III and Col. O'Neill, Sham
rock I, and the two yachts started to
beat seward against four knot wind
from south by east.
Shamrock III was slightly in the lead
at the start and began at once to add to
it. The new boat pointed highed and
footed faster than Shamrock /. They
headed out to sea for more than two
hours and during all that time Sham
rock III gained steadily. At 2.45 when
the challenger was leading the Sham
rock l by 10 minutes, Shamrock III
turned about and ran back to join the
other.
Crossing the wake of the old boat,
Shamrock III was given a freer wind
and sent off for five mile run at fast
clip down along the Jersey coast.
Shamrock III had passed Long
Rranch several miles off shore when at
$40 both boats came about and starting
close together, headed for Sandy Hook
with spinnakers set. Before a light
wind they ran IS miles along the coast
to Scotland lightshp, ,saluted by pass
ing steamers.
Shamrock III began to gain on her
trial horse and in an hours sailing and
when the boats had sailed over nearly
half the course, had established lead
of nearly half mile. This is called the
best point of sailing for the older boat.
Shamrock III passed the lightship at
L.52 while the challenger was about n
milo nStarn Shamrock 7 reached to
lightship at Col but had lost some time
by taking in her spinnaker before
reaching the finish.
Sir Thomas said he expected to try
the boats again, Monday.

SENSATIONAL SERMON
Ey Colored Minister at Wilmington,
DEL, on Recent Lynchins.

Wilmington, Del, June 2S.-Today
thousands of persons visited the scene
where George F. White, the negro was
burned to death, last Monday night, by
a mob for the murder of Miss Helen
Bishop. The only evidence that re-
mains of the work of the mob are three
cohblestones, on one of which this
inscription has been placed in indelible
ink: Here is all that remains or
White" The bushes behind which the
assault and murder occurred have been
cut down for a distance of several
yards and carried away by relic hunt
ers.
Discussion of the events Of last week
IL rapidly ending although the affair
was the text of some of the clergymen,
today. The preachers without eXcep-
ton condemned the lynchng, not with
standing the fact that public sentiment
is overwhelmingly on the side of the
lynchers.
Rev. Montrose V. Thornton. colored,
pastor of the First A. M. e. church OF
this city, preached a sensational SER
mon to his congregation, tonight. The
church was crowded in expectation that
Mr.. Thornton would have something to
say in the events of the past week. He
said III part:
1.-THE white man, in face of his boast
ed civilization, stands before my eyes,
tonight, the demon of the worlds races,
a monster incarnate and insofar as the
negro race is concerned, seems to give
no quarter. The white is q heather
fiend, q monstrosity before God, and
is equal to any act in the category OF
crime. I would sooner turst myself In
I the den of a hyena as in his arms. With
q court, law and officers of law In his
! hands the despised negro can expect nc
mercy, Justice or protection. The
negro is unsafe anywhere in this coun-
try. He is open prey at all times OF
| barbarians who know no restraint ant
will not be restrained.
| There is but one part left for the
prosecuted negro, when charged witt
crime and when innocent. Be Law
unto yourself. You are taught by thi:
lesson of outrage to save yourself from
torture at the hands of the bioOdseek
ing public Save your race from In
suit and shame. Be your own sheriff
court and jury as was the OUTLAY
Tracy. Die in your tracks, perhap:

THE THREE DEFENDERS
Ready for Races Every Day This Week
at Newport, r. !.

Newport, r. l.. June 2S.-Tor the first
time since the rival cup yachts Reliance,
Constitution and Columbia, began the
mornings in Newport Harbor, tonight,
fully prepared for n continuation of
their interesting contests, in the six
races which have been arranged off this
port on every day this week, by the
New York Yacht Club.
While the days winner in each viii
probably receive some emblem from the
club the races have been planned more
as 4 test of the yachts in the open sea
and in the strong winds which usually
prevail at this point on the coast. What
are known as the official trial races
will not take place until the last of
next month.
Up to the present time the three
yachts have sailed eight finished races
and In each one Reliance has finished
in the lead, although, owing to the So
crecy regarding the actual measure
ments of the two boats. there is some
question whether or not Constitution
did not win two of them because of her
smaller sail area.
The races. this week, will be under
the direction of the regatta committee
of the New York Yacht Club. The races
will start off the Brenton's Reef light
ship at 11.30 A. NJ. and will be the reg
ular cup length, 80 miles, either Is miles
to windward or leeward. or triangular
10 miles on side. The indications. to-
night, are for light winds, tomorrow,
and perhaps rain.
