easy TO imagine that such commu.
nifty would not have much sympathy
with the South In It's struggle with
the race question, lat 1t is now re-
ceivlng n lesson that is unquestiona-
by ni@liing 1t see some things in a
vastly different light Sometime ago
n regiment of negro soldiers was

tcrtown, Juld II was loudly proclaimed
that the black men would be accorded
every courtesy 1t was not long, how
eyer, before tho people of Watcrtown
began to revolt Mt the intrusion OF tho
negro infantrymon. The cause for
the change OF the feeling can he un-
dorstood by any Southern man or any
Northernor who has passed any timo
In tho South without going into the
why's and whereforcs.
Before the arrival of the negro
troops tho Watcrtown newspapers
boasted of the utter absence of race
prejudice and tho excellent exam.
PIE that the citizens of the town
would set for the benefit of their con
plmacious brothers in tho South. Tho
first disturbing jolt these newspapers
received was when the National

rapid succession and from ali au-
counts the excellent example" has

possible the negro soldier is shown
that his patronage is not desired.
II is a far cry from Brownsville,
Tex, to Watertown, N. Y, but the
lessons of both towns are equally
wholesome. The war department had
no such idea In view. but when 1t sent
the negro soldiers to Watcrtown Il
did the South great service. II 1t
would only continue to place the ne.

SARATOGA GAS FIGHT on AGAIN.
InJunctions Issued Against CarbonIc Gas
Companies.

ALBANY. Aug. s.-Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral Williams to-day secured six temporary
injunctions from Supreme Court Justice
Fits which are designed to stop the oper-
atoms Of the carbonic gas companies which,
it is alleged. are depriving the Saratoga
mineral springs Of their natural gas.
The injunctions affect property interests
to the value Of nearly $1,000. boo and were
obtained under a law Of the last Legislature
prohibiting the use of the so-called sucking
pumps at the springs. 1t is anticipated
that Edgar T. Bracket. who fought this
proposed law in the Legislature and before
the Governor. will utilize the proceedings
to test the constitutionality of the law and
that the question will not be settled until
passed upon by the Cour Of Appeals.
The injunction orders were obtained
upon the petition Of the citizens committee
OF Saratoga Springs which urged the pas
sage Of the law. The committee has charged
that the use Of the sucking pumps was ruin
ing the springs. The orders are returnable
before Justice Fits August II and were
issued against the Geysers Natural Gas
Company. Natural Carbonic Gas Company,
Lincoln Spring Company, New York Car
bonic Acid Gas Company and Mary A. Pat
