Claims That the White Men are.
Win for the Condition
of Nurses ,

Editor Sentinel:---l;l)easel allowI the
space it your paper rep y to ad
Norwood’s tirade against negroes' iglo-
morality. apropos of what Judge Nor-
wood said in the newspapers of Sun»
day. the fifth last.

it strikes me that the learned judge

takes great. pride in parading before
the public the negroea’ immorality and
bestiality. but to any fair-minded man
his argumentis illogical and wholly
obtained by prejudice rather than by
facts in the first place the white
press is largely responsible for the ill-
feeling that exists between the negro
and the white man In some places, and
for the lynchings that mar the fair
name of the South. A negro’s crime
is usually heralded in large flaring
headlines and all the details are men-
tioned. but the white man’s crime is
passed over with a few remarks. A
few weeks ago a white woman and
negro man were convicted of a statuo
tor‘y offense. The negro's side was
thoroughly aired, but the white wom-
an’s was merely noted by a few lines.
and they would have been sent from
the country had not the plans been
frustrated. The white press magni-
fies the black man's faults and palliates
the white man's The laws of nature
are inexorable. If the negroes are
lustful they are only exemplifying what
the white man faithfully taught them
voluntarily and by force during slav-
ery. They sowed the wind and are
now reaping the whirlwind. The slave
masters game the negroes the cue, and
they are using it now to their own
damnation and disgrace and to the
white man's sorrow. it's the old, but
too true Biblical teaching that “What-
soever a man sows that also shall he
reap."
The white man is not far removed
from the same conditions that existed
in slavery between them and their
slaves. Else why so many mulnttoe'!
Several weeks ago a white lady wrote
the Atlanta Georgian. dwelling upon
misconduct of white on and colored
women. In the same paper, Septem-
ber 29, another white lady wrote from
Washington. Georgia, saying: “Let
me ask what are We going to do with
the white brutes?" and adds "How
many colored girls of Georgia reach
the age of maturity before they are in
the tells of white-must i any men?"
Some say the negro does not cure
for or know of a better life. Who is
responsible for the state of affairs
through the years of their slavery
‘when they had no way of learning only
from their masters, and what did they
teach them? Mark you, file above if
from the pen of a southern white wom
an. The white man is in it to—par
ticeps crimlnis to negro's lustfulness
Not only in slavery days, but now he
protects his autistic children, loaves
them property, etc.. which virtually
amounts to an admission of his guilt.
and says to the public: “Pin the soul‘-
let letter on me as wcll as the nogrt
woman."
The logical conclusion of Judge Nor
wood's article means no more nor less
than that the so-culled superior rum
(white) succumbed to the interior (no
mo). Surely superiority ought tr
manifest itself in pointing the humbli
and ignorant to the. paths of virtue
The soculled lord and master ought. it
how protected his slaves, and thrown
around them every influence for bcitel
living. But, all! in those dark days
as well as now, the autistic child and
the dark child of one woman stall
around like Bunquo‘s ghost and will
not down, but point in stem. but silent
tones to the white man's duplicity tr
his and some black man's family. Wll)
did the white man. knowing so well bit
lustfuiness and bestiality, full in
slavery as well as now, so easy a vlc
ilm. in slavery days did the negroel
so outnumber the whites and by form
make them commit the acts or was ll
because the negrocs lulsllcssed such
wonderful persuasive powers, greater
area than that of his master. thereby
ilypnotlslng the superior race and
compelling the toaster to yield to no
rroes' passion. Judge Norwoori's ur
gunwnt is capable of either of two can
ciuslons: First, the white than ten
perior) must have yielded to the no
gro (inferior); or secondly. the nogrt
iinferlorl must have greater or men
tattve powers. therefore (mental . than
the white man (superior). Which no!
will Judge Norwood accept? “0h, rea
soil. where hast thou flown. and judg
mont where hunt thou perched thy
sniff"

i write this reply in defense, but not

in conclusion it must be lurid lba‘
all the ills of tho world will not in

NlHiPl OF NEXT AB-
ltLv.
Lou Speculation Then in 1004, Owing
to Uncertainty A‘blout the Speaker-
s 9.

Two years ago at this time it was
generally known that Judge Marcus it”.
Holcomb, of soothington. would be the
lonelier of the house of 1905. Those
who had an doubt, of Judge Hoi-
comb’s also on were confined tothe
people who clung with loyal persist:
ency to the hope that Mr. E‘essenden-
would control the house in his can-
didacy for the United States sonata.
The! were a minority, and in this sec-i
lieu of the state a very insignificant
minority. With the speaker-ship set-
tled people gave their attention to. the
makeup of the committees. and a
Pretty accurate idea of their person-
lllghwas known Thanksgiving week of

This year there is a greater degree
of uncertainty. The opinion prevails
in Republican circles in Hartford that
the speaker of the next house will be
Malor John Q, Tilson, of New Haven.
it is assumed that this opinion is
shared by the Republicans of the Sec-
ond Congressional district—New lia'
V811 and Middlesex counties. Tolland
county is thought to be favorable to
Major Till-ion. too. Judge E. 8. Banks
of Fairfield. Who in Major Tilson’s
rival, claims the two counties in the
Tenth Congressional district——-Fair-
field and Litchfield. The counties in
the Third district, New London and
Windham. are in doubt. '

With this unsettled condition of the
speakershlp, there is not so much
guessing as to the membership of the
committees“ It is well known that
nothing definite has been decided on
in regard to the most important com-
mittees. it is said that if Major Til-
son is elected speaker he will give the
leadership of the house to his rival.
Judge Banks. by appointing him chair-
man of the judiciary committee. The
friends of Judge Banks say that the
judge will not accept. the judiciary‘
chairmanship, and that. if he fails to
secure the spenkershlp he will prefer
to be a free lance. and if he accepts
a chairmanship at. all it. will be of a
committee of less importance.

If Judge Banks assumes this posi-
tion and maintains it, Speaker 'l‘ilson
-—snpposlug that the contest. for the
spenkership results in his favor—will
be at a loss to fill his judiciary com-
mittee with lawyers of acknowledged
ability and experience in legislative
work. The Democratic minority will
be strong intellectually and will have
:rcetcr strength titan it has had for
years. ill intellectual capacity the
Democrats will be more than a match .
for the Republicans. They will be led
by George M. (loan, of Milford. who
will have as a lieutenant. the watchful
Thomas ii‘. Nouns, of Vernon. It is
interesting to note that these, two
Democratic leaders of the next house
have been members of the senate at
previous sessions. Mr. Gunn was a
senator at. the sessions of '82-‘83, and
Mr. Noone was the Democratic repre-
sentative of the Thirty-fifth district in
the senate in 1903. it is thought Mr.
Gunn will be given a position on the
judiciary committee. lie is (mililed to
it and a prominent. one. too. If is to
be hoped that the speaker, whether in-
is Major 'l‘ilson or Judge Banks. will
rise above mere partisanship and rcc-
ognlzc the superior abilities of tho
resourceful and able leader of the ml-
uorily. ii is not certain that Mr.
Noono will [in given a place on tho ju-
diciary committee. ills ability as a
lawyer ulld his service in the senate
entitle him to it. but, as a prominent
Republican said the other day in folk-
ing about the matter, the party lead-
one might not consider it. safe to have
two such able Democrats as Mr. Gunn
ind Mr. Noone on the committee at
tile same time. To be sure they would
be only two to nine, but as Speaker
Fessenden remarked at the session of
1806. with his characteristic felicity
of expression. the Democratic minority
makes up in ability what it lurks in
numbers. Mr. (loan was a member of
the minority at that evasion and
Speaker Feesenden had hilll. principal-
ly. in mind when he paid the Demo-
crats lilo graceful compliment.

Senator P. Mctlovcrn. ol’ the Second
dilirlci. is a pronounced cnndklutl- for
the senate chairmanship of the colli-
mitteo on appropriations. Two years
ago the senator did splendid work on
the committee on insurance. and be

coming session. The latter commit

Towards the actual building of the
road nothing has been done. There has
been no attempt at purchase of the
land required for the right of way and
no working out of plans required to
furnish an estimate of the cost of con-
structlng the line. A rough estimate
‘ places the cost at $200,000, but. this is
merely an engineer's rough guess. That
the project is seriously considered.
however. and not merely a bluff, ls evi-
(loilf‘od by the fact of the renewal,
Wilt‘ll the options expired, of various
water privileges designed to furnish
motive power for tho line’s operation.

Parties in a position to speak author~
lulllvely for the C. R. & 1A 00.. have
declared that the line would surely be
built. it was one of many projects in
view which must wait for accomplish-
mcnt in the order of their relative im-
portance. This declaration was always
made with the qualification that if the
Consolidated railroad bought out the
C. R. &. h Co. no electric railway
through Reddlng could be expected.
The Danbury and Norwalk road skirts
the town on one side and the House-
tonic on be other and they furnished
sufficient facilities. from the big rail-
road company‘a point of view. for the
intervening country. A road midway
between these existing roads would
probably not pay and therefore why
should it be built? Whether it would
or would not pay from the start is a
ouceflon open to argument. That it
would eventually pay no one acquaint-
ed with the conditions will dispute.
Run, as it would he, by water power.
the operating expense, in this respect,
would be reduced to the minimum. As
regards freight. the milk transporta-
tion along the line would be one im-
portant item. Then there are. various
other farm products seeking an outlet
to market lunl various commodities. in-
cluding coal. seeking the cheapest and
easiest method of ingress. Therefore.
while the line. from a purely business
point of view. may not be a highly sl-
iuring proposition, ii. is more encouralf-
lug than many existing railroads which
did not pay at the start, but are now
good properties.

Will the Consolidated road seek for a
renewal of the charter is a question
which naturally arises. Or if they do
on do so directly will they try to ob-
tain a renewal through some dummy
company. with the purpose of keeping
our promoters with serious intentions?
These are questions which our towns-
folk are asking. They have waited
long and patiently for something to be
done and to have the project shelved
would be to them a sore disappoint-
ment.

The one thing certain about the lit
nation is that any petitioners for a re»
newal of the charter will be asked to
furnish a bond or some other satis-
factory form of a guarantee that their
intentions are "honorable” and not.
merely pro-emotive in an obstructive
senile.

ofl‘ice i am now compelled to assist in
the enforcement of the solemn man-
date of the law by pronouncing sen-
tence upon you.

“it is not within my discretion or
power to nullify or relax the positive
command of the law, and I must dis«
charge my ditty however painful and
dlsncreeable it may be.

"You must not think that this pun-
ishment is by way of atonement for
the great crime which you have com.
miffed; that must be left to the just
determination of the Supreme Court on

igh.

“The enforcement of this penalty is
the highest man can inflict, and is for
the better protection and security of
society."

“if the sentence which i am about
to pronounce is finally executed, you
certainly will be deprived of the power
of committing another offence of this
character, and the awful example fur-
nished in this case may deter others
from the commission of similar transv
grossions of the law.

“The sentence of the court is that
you. Alexander Herman. he remanded
into the custody of the Sherifl of” Fair-
field County, and that within 20 days
from the date of this sentence you be
conveyed by the said Bherilff of said
County, to the Connecticut State Pris-
on ln Weihersfleld. and there delivered
into the custody of the Warden, to be
by him there kept until Friday. the

trial. ills ground was that rcpresen~
tatlves 0f the state had made unwar-
ranted and illegal remarks during his
argument before the jury. relating to
expert. testimony given by the hands
writing experts.

Mr. Judson spoke. upon his motion
for about five minutes. He stated
that some of the jurymen had told
him that the testimony of the hand
writing expert had been considered by
them to have been of the greatest im-
portance in determining the guilt of
the accused.

Special State‘s Attorney Carter re-
plied to Mr. Judson, justifying the re
marks to which Mr. Judson took ex-
caption.

The court. said that no matter what
disposition he now made of the case.
he would make a finding of fact, so
that an appeal may be taken.

He stated he did not think the jury
had been improperly influenced and he
overruled the motion.

He then directed that Herman should
be brought before him. The murderer
was brought up to a position facing the
judge by Sheriff liuwiey. Herman
kept his eyes lowered.

“Alexander Herman. have you any-
thing to say why sentence of death
should not be pronounced against
you?" asked the court.

, Herman immediately began to speak
rapidly in a low voice in his language,
Polish. What he said was interpreted.

"l mn't tell anything," he said. “i
don’t know who killed him or how he
was killed. By witnesses l have been
brought here.

“How he came to he killed i don’t
know. if I get sentenced nobody will
,cver know the truth about, it except
God."

He spoke in this way for some little
time, repeating himself several times.

The court then said:

"Alexander Herman. An intelligent
and fair minded jury without fear or
favor of any man in the spirit. of their
