Northern Sentiment Chan giug.

There are q thousand evidences Of
. better understanding throughout the
Northern States Of the attitude and in
tentions OF good citizens in the South
Coward the negro as a voter.
We hope and believe that this desir-
able process will be accelerated by the
remarkable dispatches on the subject
which THE SUN is printing from various
Southern cities. The question is not
only Of justice to the blacks; 1t Is a ques-
ton OF justice to millions Of our white
fellow citizens. and OF the best interests
of Q vast region comprising about one
third Of the entire area OF the glorious
American Union.
There Is printed in another place on
this page a significant letter from an
intelligent correspondent, who. from the
point Of view OF firm belief in the right
!. eousness and necessity Of the Fifteenth
Amendment, writes in full sympathy
with tho policy of excluding from the
suffrage persons not qualified to exercise

purpose OF self-protection through all its
efforts to keep the ignorant negro from

remedy, we call attention to what seems

In his argument. He says:
In . country IKE ours. dedicated TO personal
liberty and self government the denial OF political
nights must be based on Just and fundamental
disisctions. The status OF the Indian Is based on
racial Differences. Like some wild animal. he can
nathss be trained nor educated. Do like reasons

There are more negroes than Indians
In the United States, and the experiment
Of systematic education and elevation
has been going on longer with the black

Rose Stakes last Thursday In . very
fair field. Current reports from the
trainers at our local tracks indicate that
they have some horses of this age that
will be well worth seeing; and there ID
strong reason to believe that, a. q whole,
the two-year-olds this year will prove
exceptionally good.
The question Of obtaining good jockeys
to ride In these parts becomes lees seri-
GUS as the days 60 by. All Of the moro
experienced riders now engaged appear
to be In tiptop form, and recruits have
been obtained from other sections of the
country who seem likely to give excellent
satisfaction. Besides, several Of tho
lads who heretofore have had little OPP
portunity to reveal their ability are
rapidly coming to the front. It h safe
to say that. before the season il half over,
there will Be no reason to complain Of
scarcity OF competent Jockeys.
While the horses are at Aqueduct,
interest will centre on that track; but
the friends OF the sport will look for
ward impatiently to the good times
coming at Morris Park. Sheepshead Bay,
Saratoga and the other popular and
courses under the jurisdic-
ton Of the Jockey Club.

The Opening Season on the Turf.

Although racing on the metropolitan
circuit this season has been in progress
only few days, enough has been seen
to convince shrewd observers that 1903
will be banner year for the turf. A
similar sentiment has been expressed
at tho opening Of the racing season In
New York State for several years past,
and the results at the end OF each year
have shown that the early indications
were not misleading.
The meeting at Bennings, as far as
concerned the quality and the number
Of horses engaged, was one OF the best
ever held at that track. Only one thing
marred it, from the public's point of view
particularly. and that was the uncom-
monty bad weather. At Bennings, how
ever, comparatively little is ever ex-
pected Of the thoroughbreds, and few
Of the stars Of the Eastern stables are
sent there.
Most OF the successful performers on
this Warrington course during the meet
ing which closed last week. while prom
inent among horses in so-called Sover-
night" races. we're considerably short OF
stake quality. Those which proved
themselves to be worthy Of consideration
were, among the three-year-olds, Shrine
and Mrs. Frank Foster. They, however,
have yet to graduate from the ranks of
the 'sprinters before they can COM
mand serious attention in long distance
contests. OF the older division, Yellow
Tail. Bon Mot, Lord Badge, DAILY and
Himself were conspicuous and will have
to be reckoned with from now on in
really good company.
OF the two-year -olds seen at Bennings,
the following deserve mention: Con-
tentious and Petunis from the Walden
stable; Race King, Judge, Peter Paul,
Spring and Reverberate. How these
youngsters will aoquit themselves when
they meet some Of the highly bred two
