HE RAILROAD OFEER.

The counter proposition of the
citizen 5 meeting last Monday
night to the proposed Pensacola,
Memphis & Western Railroad is
"a reasonable solution of the pro
posed grant asked of the city
and it is one upon which all cit
liens can unite. The road asked
originally for a cash surplus of
sixty thousand dollars. terminal
facilities and right of way
through the city. The demand
was so excessive that little inter-
est was manifested in it. As
soon as a reasonable grant was
suggested it found instant favor
on the part of the people and the
meeting held last Monday was
attended by an unanimity seldom
encountered in public gather
ings.
The counter proposition is that
the city vote the road twenty-five
thousand dollars in. bonds for
depot facilities and grant right of
way over such streets in the
city as the road and the mem bers
of the City Council agree upon.
1t is made condition of the offer
that no bonds will be delivered
until the road is completed to
this city and is in operation.
Twenty five thousand dollars
may seem quite a sum, but it is
enthusiastically small when the
advantages to this city resulting
from the building iof another
railroad are considered. The
interest on these bonds will be
about twelve hundred and fifty
dollars a year, and this sum
will be more than recon pens
ed in the increase in the
value of property to say
nothing of the thousands of dol
lars to be saved in freight rates,
the thousands of dollars which
will be expended here ia the con
struction of the road and the es
tablishment of the relay from
Memphis to Pensacola in this
city. 1t is a cost so small and a
benefit so great that it is unne-
cessary to argue the advantages
of voting the bonds.
The matter will formally come
before the Council at an early
date and the election will be or
dered. That it will be carried |
goes without saying.

Sunday afternoon after an illness

his integrity, a thing that can be
said of very few public men
He was honored. loved and re

SHOOT STRAIGHT.

The Republican press of the
North in general and the New
York Tribune in particular, has
been especially severe in is criti-
cism of the utterances and acts
of Mississippi's Chief Executive.
1t is therefore a pleasure to the
DISPATCH to find an editorial en-
dorsement of Governor Varda-
man coming from the Tribune
itself and to give it reproduction
in these columns. Under the
above caption the Tribune says:
We have SO often had occasion
to condemn the reactionary and
demagogic utterances of Cover
nor Vardaman when he discusses
anything remotely touching the
race question that we have par
ticular pleasure in commencing
his straightforward courage
and common sense in dealing
with the question of law and or
der. Governor Vardaman has
steadily used his power to stop
lynching and maintain the su-
premacy of the courts, but never
has he said anything more wor-
thy of the attention of public Of
ficials who are called upon to face
the mob spirit than this:
When one man or dozen men
undertake to override the law and
interfere with an officer in the
performance of his duty, the
proper thing for him TO do is to
shoot straight instead of over
their heads. If Mr.. Poag had
done that the cowardly scoundrel
who took his life would have been
put in his grave instead of Poag.
II it is known that the officer is
going to do his duty and shoot
when necessary, there is no dan
ger of a mob trying to take his
prisoner from him.
This is good doctrine every
where in dealing with mobs,
whether they are assembled to
wreck a jail or a railroad. Shoot
straight and to kill. 1t is harsh
medicine, but it cures the disease.
One administration of the dose is
almost always sufficient, while the
failure to administer the remedy
in one case almost surely invites
the spread OF the trouble. Lynch
ing is a danger to the community
simply because it has enjoyed
immunity. Mobs hang and burn
because they have found it safe
to hang and burn. We do not be-
lieve a Jail has beeen broken
open in ten years where the GUS
todian could not, with determine
ton and courage, preserved his
prisoner, or at least made such an
example of himself and the mob |
as to have aroused his State eff
fectually to put down lynChing
for the future. Possibly a sheriff |
or two or a mob leader or two
might have been sacrificed, but a
few stands for the law in deadly |
earnest would put an end to easy |
going liberation of lawlessness.
Most sheriffs and jailors who |
have to defend prisoners, especi-
ally negroes, are not really in
earnest to protect them. They
flourish revolvers, beg the people
to 'Slet the law take it's course,
go through all the motions of be-
ing overpowered, and allow the
prisoner to be taken With the
least damage possible. We hope
Governor Vardaman will succeed
in installing a new sense of re-
sponsibility into the Mississippi
sheriffs. The fact that in the
latest case shooting in the air, in
stead of saving trouble, made it,
gives practical emphasis to the
Governors words and suggests to
the officials that in the way of
his advice safety lies.

The KING Of SWEDEN
TALKS FOR ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Justifies His Attitude Toward Norway
will Permit No Member of His
Family to Ascend Norwegian
Throne.
Stockholm, July 5.-King Oscar
granted a private audience to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press at
the imperial palace yesterday
In a lengthy conversation his ma
testy expressed his views on the pres
ent situation and said emphatically
that he would never allow any of his
sons or his grandsons to accept the
Norwegian throne. In speaking of the
attitude OF Norway, the king displayed
deep emotion and expressed his heart
felt sorrow at Norway's treatment OF
him after forty-two years OF unceasingi
labor for it's happiness and prosperity.
His majesty said he wished to con-
vey through the Associated Press his
gratitude for hundreds of expressions
of sympathy received from the United
States.
In the course of the conversation
King Oscar reiterated his official ut
terances regarding his position on tie
consular bill passed by the Storthing
and the events which followed his veto
Of it, and said:
when the King of Norway cohsid-
ers that the welfare of the country
demands that he shall veto bill
passed by the Storthing his right to
do so is Internationally shown in Nor
ways constitution, and he would bel
false to his oath If he did not exercise
this RIGHT in, arpprdnDro with hiS cnp-
science.
THE constitution gives the Storth-
ing the power to pass measure over
my veto, prescribing, however, that
this can only be done by the bill being
passed by three consecutively elected
Storthings. The consular bill was
only passed by one Storthing.
"As king Of Norway it was of the
utmost necessity that l should always
keep before my eyes the first article
of the constitution, which reads: The
Kingdom of Norway is a free, indie
pendent and inalienable country,
united to Sweden under one king
Therefore il was imperative before ap-
proving bill separating the consular
systems of Sweden and Norway that L
should consider the welfare and in
terests of both countries, and l had a.
perfect right as king of Norway to-
refuse my sanction.
"The refusal of the Norwegian Cab
inet to countersgn my veto was in
excusable. as the constitution pre-
scribes that the king may decide ac-i
cording to his judgment and that ALI
his orders must be countersigned by
the Cabinet.
! Thus the Norwegian constitution,
my own conscience and my consideras
ton of the welfare of both kingdomsl
were the guide to my action in vetoing
the consular bill"

DUNES Street Railway Plan.

Chicago, July 6.-Mayor Dunno told
the City Council last night his plans
for municipal ownership of traction
properties. The plan provides for the
incorporation of a company, managed
by five men, who command the conf
dence of the people of Chicago To
this company is to be granted a
twenty-year franchise covering the
streets in which the rights of the old
companies already have expired or
soon will expire. Il is to be stocked
to the amount necessary to establish
street car system in these streets,
roughly estimated at 240 miles. No
bonds are to be sold.
The stock is to be deposited with a
trust company which the five directors
are to select. so as to prevent a pur-
chase of 1t and consequent control by
outside interests. The stock is to be
sold at popular subscription.
At any time the city may elect 1t
can take over the property on an ap-
praised valuation.

Suffrage Convention Closes.

Portland. Ore, July 6.-The Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association
brought its meetings to a close yes
terday after one of the busiest ses-
sions of the convention.
A vast number of resolutions and
reports We're attended to and an ad-
dress was given by Rabbi Emil G.
Hirsch of Chicago in the afternoon.
DR.. Hirsch made forceful argu-
ment for woman suffrage, showing the
anomaly Of trusting the training of
our future citizens to women teachers
and refusing these teachers them
selves the highest privilege Of citizen
ship.
The great reforms of the day, he
said, are in the hands of women. who
are not allowed to vote on them when
they come before the people for set
tlement. This the speaker pronounced
an outrage on women and a loss to
the country.
Mrs. Florence Kelley, in her report
on Industrial Problems Affecting
Women and Children" yesterday made
the strong point that the weakness of
the suffrage movement has been that
it has not enlisted the active support
Of the working men, and urged that
the two great forces join hands 10
work for the protection of women and
children bread-winners and for women
suffrage through which this can be OBJ
tanned.

Christian Endeavor Convention.

Baltimore, .Tuly 6.-The formal open
ing of the twenty-second International
Christian Endeavor convention took
place yesterday afternoon in Al
mory hall, with about 5000 delegates
present and nearly all of the 10000
seats in the vast auditorium occupied.
In the absence of President Francis
E. Clark, who is detained at home by
illness, Rev. Howard B. Crosse of New
York presided. Treasurer Shaw of the
united society read letter from Presi-
dent Roosevelt in which the latter ex-
pressed regret at not being able to ad-
dress the convention, but sent greet
ings, closing with the following words:
ITO make better citizens, to lift up
the standard of American manhood and
womanhood is to do the greatest SER
vice to the country. The stability of
this government depends upon the indi-
vidual character of its citizenship. No
more important work can be done, i'm
portant to the cause of Christianity, as
well as to our national life and great
ness"

There was a big crowd present at

Though the day was warm, the Presi-

riage, and through the streets to the
Chamber Of Commerce the procession
drove slowly, the crowds standing by
respectfully until the last carriage had
passed. All business was temporarily
suspended and the city gave itself up
to the last melancholy tribute to
greatness. Flags were half-masted

of the buildings. The sky was cloud
