A. Ottinger was in jovial mood yes
terday. He had received a dispatch
from the East telling him that Attor-
ney Marshall of New York, who is re-
tanned by the ticket brokers, had ap-
peared before the United States Su-
preme Court on Monday with motion
to have the case of the ticket brokers
set for speedy hearing He succeed
ed in having the case put at the head
of the calendar and the hearing. has
been set for November 25. 1t will be
remembered that Judge Kohlsaat of
Chicago granted an injunction against
the ticket brokers but had given them
a stay until the United States Supreme
Court rendered a decision.
I'VE have every confidence In the
justice of our cause" said Ottinser;
..it is not a case in which we and the
railroads are solely interested, but the
entire travelling public. We have also
interesting news from Colorado. The
Republicans made this an issue. and
1t was the arbitrary rulings of Judge
Dixon that led to the Republicans in
serting the following in their platform:
1--WE believe a railway ticket is a
commodity and not personal con-
tract, and that when the railroad COM
pany is paid therefor that it makes no
difference who rides on that ticket, and
legislation to that end we pledge our
support.

NEGRO LABOR FOR PANAMA.

The suggestion is made by a South
erner who has been pondering the race
problem that the United States Gov
ernment should take all the idle ne
groes Of the South down 10 Panama
and set them TO work on the canal
The suggestion is novel, but what it
possesses Of novelty it loses in prac-
ticability. First, you would have to
catch your idle negroes; secondly, you
would have to devise some constitution
al means for taking idle negroes out
Of the country and setting them at
work against their will, and thirdly.
some guarantee that negroes idle in
Georgia would not remain idle on the
isthmus would have to be thought out.
