A Dastardly Outrage
Last Night.

The attempt of some person or per-
sons, UP to this time unknown, to blow
up an East Hill car at 9:45 o'clock,
near the corner of Wright and Alcaniz
streets, last night, is one of the most
cowardly and dastardly outrages that
has ever occurred in this city.
Fortunately the attempt did not
succeed, and fortunately also, there
were no women, children or other pas
sengers on the car to be mangled and
killed If it had succeeded. These facts,
however, do not, In the least, consti-
tute any mitigation of the outrage
Itself. because the intent was evident,
whether it succeeded or whether there
ware any passengers on the ear to be
killed or not.
Whoever committed this crime
should be caught and punished and his
Or their punishment should be so Sc
we're that no further crimes of this
nature will ever be attempted in this
community again. 1t is the duty, as
It should be the desire, Of every good
citizen, to see that justice is done in
this matter, and the sooner it is done
and punishment melted out, the better

Good Words for Judge Laney.

but early enough to have been re-
ceived for that purpose. But the let

As to the honor to Senator Milton.
there can be no possible doubt: but
as TO the compliment to the section in
which he lives | think that if a popu,
lar vote were taken in his section our
ad interim senator would find that
quite a large majority of his fellow.
citizens of that same section differ
with the ad interim senator as to the
compliment l judge this by the fact
that when he was a candidate for the
nomination for governor in the con
vention of 1900 that there was no up
rising or insistence upon the part OF
the democrats of West Florida that
that compliment be conferred upon
their section. Governor BrOward, who
he IS now so enthusiastically support
ing for the United States senate. and
who in this artirle he so fulsomely
fiatters. was delegate from Duval
county to the convention of 1900, and
was not then enthusiastically disposed
to confer the honor of Governor upon
West Florida in the person of Senator
Milton.
Things are great or small only by
comparison. If my candidacy for the
United States senate is not. in the
opinion OF Senator Milton, taken serl
ously by anyone, will simply say that
its lack of seriousness is lost 90 the

to take an optimistic view of his case.
The great bulk of our Southern ne
groes is a useful and fairly contented
and law-abiding element, and while
crime in that race is prevalent to a
fearful extent. it is still confined to
the fringe and if We can prevail on
the better class of the negroes to CO.
operate with the whites we will soon
reduce the crime record TO normal pro-
portions. There lies the problem-to
bring about this cooperation. We do
not doubt that it will come sooner or
later, for 1T will become Indispensable
to living conditions in the South, and
both races will see the necessity for
a modus vivendi.
AS to the northern negro, he is an
obstruction, an impeachment to the
healthy and natural development of
his race in the South and he has done
more to make a negro problem in this
country than all other causes COM
bined. The New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, one OF the most thoughtful and
and conservative papers in the coun-
try, touches his case as follows:
The Civil War and the long strug-
gle for negro emancipation left the
bulk Of the Northern people filed
with the idea that the negroes We're
entirely of Uncle Tom type, a race
amiable and kind although oppressed,
asking only TO be relieved from the
injustice of slavery This idea has
been rapidly changing for years past
with the influx of the negroes into
the North, and the staggering manner
they have been persuaded to adopt by
the faddfsts and fanatics in demand
ing their rights The negro population
or the North has greatly increased in
the last Is years, but it's condition
has not improved; on the contrary, il
has steadily deteriorated in those To-
cahtles into which the greatest num-
Der or negroes have crowded. Popular
sentiment in the North IN regard TO
the negro has completely changed. and
not only is he no longer regarded as
an illIlSed brother needing aid and
announcement, but he is becoming
more and more deteSted as a turbu-
lent and lawleSS element, hostile TO
alien races and a menace and a
danger. The faddistS OF the Willard
