Colonel Jackson Teaches New York
 Negro a Lesson.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore sun.
 New York city needs a "Jim Grow" law. At least, there is one lady and one gentleman who think so. The lady's name is unknown, but the gen tleman is Col. James |. Jackson of Augusta, Ga. Colonel Jackson is welt business interests, however take him oftener to New York. Wherever he is known he Is considered q prince among seems to be identified in one way or another with every business enterprise of any moment. the people swear by him. He is q middle aged man, lean side, but he has lost none of his nerve or ability to back it up, as the follow ing incident will show;
 One day last week he was a passen- ger on a Sixth Avenue IL" car. He was reading his morning paper, but chanced to look up and, being true Southern gentleman, he was surprised to see young lady, very pretty and very young, swinging to a strap, not withstanGing the fact that at least 20 men were occupying seats.
 The Colonel was on his feet instant ly and beckoned to the lady to take his seat She advanced a step or two and suddenly stopped. looking past the Colonel and then at him with a curious expression upon her face. Colonel Jackson smiled and took step back ward, lowing to the lady, as ne thought, to the seat which he had prof fered but which. for some reason un known to him, was not accepted. As he did so he cast side glace at the seat from which he had risen and al most lost his balance when he saw a pig burly negro man sitting there and looking serenely through the window The Colonel did not hesitate, and sald to the negro:
 Get up from that seat. You saw me offer 1t to this lady"
 The negro repliad that he would noI get up and said he intended sitting where he was until a man came along who could make him get up.
 The colloquy attracted the attention Of all the passengers, but Colonel Jackson did not seem to notice that,
 As if on the spur of an impulse, he caught the negro by the collar with his left hand and struck him three times az hard as he could on the nose with his right hand. yanking him clear off the seat and into the aisle as he delivered the last blow.
 The negro yelled and the conductor rushed in. The picture of the Colonel standing over the bioody-nosed negro and lowing c0urteously to the lady to did. seemed to catch the fancy of the other passengers and no one moved
 What's this all about? Give me your names" said the conductor.
 There isn't anything worth while and that's all right about the names, d said Colonel Jackson
 The conductor insisted and so did the Colonel, and his persuasive man ner won for him the retreat of the con ductor. Meanwhile the negro had got ten to his feet and was carefully mop ping his injured nose. The Colonel took hold of a strap and quietly began to read his paper.

"Name MT. Lamont" Goodyear Advises.

Buffalo (N. Y) Special to New York
 Herald.
 Charles W. Goodyear. of this city, who is strongly urged in this end of the State as a candidate for Governor before the Democratic Convention, when asked today for his opinion of Daniel s. Lamont as a candidate for the same office warmly commended the former Secretary of War.
 T regard Daniel S. Lamont as an ideal candidate for the Governorship of this State" said Mir. Goodyear. Tn ability. disposition and temperament Colonel Lamont is thoroughly well qualified for the office of Governor. His knowledge of State and national affairs is so extensive and his experi- ence in public and private life has been so wide and varied that he would come to the Governorship better equipped, in my judgment, than any other man whom it is possible for the Democracy to nominate.
 If Colonel Lamont can be induced to accept the nomination I say without reservation that no other man in the State should be considered. It would be great pleasure to me to do every thing in my power 10 aid in his cleo ton. hope the Democratic party will be able to prevail upon him to accent the nomination"

 well at all times. The ruins of Greek and Roman, Egyptian, Moorish, Per sian and Norman architecture was
 each perfect in It's kind and Is beauti- ful today wherever found. The mere
 fact that architecture goes out of fashion shows 1t to be bad architec- ture, unless there has been radical change in the people and their habits. There are pieces of architecture as
 classic as the work of Praxitiles, or the writings of Homer.
 Our Capitol may not be absolutely perfect architecture, and the clock over it's beauty, but it is very handsome fl ont. It has stood the criticism of
 men for more than a generation and
 has been pronounced good. It is far too handsome and classic to be de-
 stroyed and supplanted by some pass ing architectural whim, that would be ridiculous in few years. The front of the Capitol as it now stands would be as handsome thousand years hence as 1t is now. We cannot say that for transitory architecture
 The building needs enlarging and repairs. but the front should not be
 changed. The change needed can be made without affecting the architect ure materially. That is what the State wants It does not merely want the Capitol kept as a relic. ' It wants a
 handsome piece of architecture pre- served. II wants the grand portico to stand as 1t is and the great circular stairway so rarely seen now to be preserved and the rotunda kept as it Is.

CALLING HIM DOWN.

The New Orleans Times-Demo rat
 promptly and properly takes the 'res- ident to task for an expression used by him in refusing to pardon a black brute who was under sentence of dsa'h for outraging a white woman. Tn his
 statement refusing the pardon he SD ,ke of that lynching spirit which Is so full
 of evil omen for this people, because 1t seeks to avenge one infamous crime
 by the commission of another of equal
 infamy." Commenting on this our
 contemporary says:
 The opinion of the President is, there fore. that the lynching of brute who has forfeited his right to live by the cold terms of the law is as infamous as the assault on a female, who IS ie1t in a much worse situation than If she
 herself had sbeen lynched. The Pres ident himself defended lynching In the West, and he now holds that lynching is fully as infamous as criminal as-
 sault.
 sentence really expresses the honest views of the President. Rather we prefer to believe that his intention was to say something malicious about the
 South--something that would shock the . sn nsibiiities of the people of this sec Ion who are confronted with the dan
 ger of the negro's bestiality. It is
 more charitable at least to assume that the words of the President were prompted by malice and were not the honest expression of his views. To be- lieve the words are honest is impos-
 sible. There are lynchings and lynch ings, and some are more readily to be defended than others. There is a wide
 difference between the catching a brute
 and putting an end to his life, and talk of the law. after he has been arrested
 and is a prisoner of the State. The
 one thing Is simply iliegal-the other
 is an assault on the law by force and arms.

NO FEAR FOR MARYLAND.
The Party os Now Solid for MT. Park
Baltimore Special to Philadelphia R

Baltimore Special to Philadelphia Re- !. It will be a cfear-cut, straightout There is less friction in either party than for eight years or more. Repub- licans and Democrats heartily indorse the nomination of their respective candidates. and each ticket should poll full party vote.
 Already both parties are claiming the State; the Democrats by a much larger majority than the Republicans. The former base their calculations on the full party vote, and it would ap- pear that they have the best argu- ment. The Republicans, however. in- sist that there are hundreds of Demo- crats who still fear Bryanistic infiu- safe side, will take no chances, even though they know Parker to be d gold-standard Democrat. ...
 It is rather early yet to get a pSsi- tive line on this vote, which must de- termine the result in Maryland. Had Parker not sent his now famous gold telegram to the conve ntion 1t would not have required an extended investi- the action of the Democratic candidate has practically assured Maryland.
 Senator German has given the posi- tive assurance -that the Democratic majority win at least equal if not sur pass, that obtained by Governor War field, and he intends to give to the cain- naign here his personal attention.
 Maryland Democrats will not conf1ne themselves to the issue set forth in the national platform. Tariff revision and the Trusts will not be neglected. but more attention will be devoted to the negro issue than either of the main propositions, and President Roosevelt'S q recognition of the blacks will be held up" on the stump by every local speak, CT.
 Knowing that 1t Is the purpose of the Democrats to disfranchise them, the negroes are uniting everywhere. de- termined to retain Their rights of citi- zenship. They felt pretty dubious un- til the Attorney General decided that under the law only two cross marks were required to vCtG the ticket this fall

Thank God for John Hay" fervent- ly exclaims the newly converted New York Sun. It has not yet gotten it's Republican mantle on straight, or 1t would be thanking God for Theodore Roosevelt, but it cannot forget all at once how fiercely 1t has criticised the President, and how often 1t has pro- nouneed him unsafe. Doubtless it will get to the point after a while where 1t can exalt Roosevelt, but at present it aan only be thankful for Hay.

Word has been received here that the
surveyors for the Denver, Enid 81 G ulf
road were in the neighborhood north of
Jet, setting grade stakes. They might
make slight change from the survey
they made last fall. Commencing at
Nashville, Grant county, they surveyed
almost directly west to a point about
three miles north of Jet, where they
turned north crossing the Salt Fork
near what is called the Red Rock cross
Ing, continuing north until they struck
the old survey at Byron. 1t was also
reported that the right of. way is being
purchased south of the river. These
facts are evidence that the road will be
built in a short time and that it will
come to Byron. Cherokee and Ingersoll
are figuring on the road coming there
but they are only wasting their time
thinking about it.-Byron Republican.
