AN APPEAL AGAINST REDUCTION OF rAnEs.

AN APPEAL AGAINST REDUCTION OF FARES.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
for protest against the reduction Of the fare
on tho elevated railroads to five cents calculated
revive all the former dscomforts Of horse travel
on larger SCALE and also to extnguish the only
competitors the elevated railway monopolists now
have--viz.s the surface railroad companies. / also
protest against the continuance Of the Ave cent fare
on all the during the morning and evening hours
OF the day. and assert that IL is the almost unani
nous desire Of the uptown property owners. who
were largely instrumental in promoting rapid transit,
that the elevated railway companies palace
on every train in which every passenger can have
seat for ten cents. at all hours, and that commission
cars. not trains be run, the companies charters
require, morning and evening. at five cents fare.
Let the companies run FIVE cent cars every train
all day il they afford to, but must have first
class accommodations and seats for those who con-
slider them cheap enough ut ten cents and are willing
to pay for = good thing. What we want Is uniform
rather than too cheap fare all tho way to Harlem
River, and return to the sheep-pen horrors of
former days. We now have to take the horse at
evening to avoid the five cent nuisance above. let
all classes be accommodated, that have
first class well other residents up town. Yours

OPPOSES EVERYTHING. /

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
Will you permit patron to your adv: AAcol
umns. and constant reader of the HERALD, to ask
through your valuable journal, if when resolution
ordinance is passed by the Board of Aldermen
why it is not carried out executed? They passed
resolution on the 10th Of this month for the Third
Avenue Elevated Railroad Company to have the
stairs removed from the walks of Third
avenue and Ninth and Houston streets, as they
public nuisance because they take up much of the
walk. not to allow two persons to pass between
the stairs and the stoop, but have to walk in single
tle and of much injury to the owners and occupants
Of said premises, deprivng them of the use OF the
walk for business purposes and their dearly bought
rights and privileges, which ought to be sacred,
which the constitution of these United States of
America guarantees to it's citizens. Who knows what
they will do next? When they can come and take
possession of your vault and build therein brick
foundations, without saying word. can they not
come and take the bed from under You also. by the
sanction of wise legislators? Is this justice is
this rightY Let me look the man square in the face
who says it is SUFFERER

REPLY BY THE EDITOR.

We think "Voter's" notions about the qualifications of officers in general are good enough and correct, but he should not make burlesque of so important a subject by mention ing ye editor as suitable represen- tative in the next Legislature. No, there are plenty of older citizens in Pope county who will make good and true representatives, and who, no doubt, will be perfectly willing to serve the s'dear people, in that ca pacity. We think that we can do our constituency more good where we are. We are by no means inscn- sible of the honor it would be to rep resent the noble people of old Pope, nor are we one of those who shirk do ing our duty as citizen at all times; but we would simply prefer very much not to become candidate for any office.

 Voter Gives his Views as to the Qualifications of Officials. DOVER. ARKs.. Feb. 2d. 1878.

Editor DEMOCRAT: Some time ago I noticed that you throwed some mud" at some one, as to who it was l do not know, but 1 supposed that it was some editor. 1t might have been done at that time because there was superabundance of mud; or it might have been done in order to keep some friend cool. We'll, you may be anxious to know what the mud-slinging was about. Well you were admonlshing some one not to bein a hurry about hoisting the names, of candidates for the coming election, saying thai there was yet plenty of tune. My opinion is that 1t is due time now and the question should be thoroughly discussed so that the proper men may be in the minds of the voters, so that they may not be decieved and after cast ing their votes regret it to their dy- ing day. Now sir, every man should talk with his neighbor plainly, spend his v,ews freely and ask direct qucs- tions about Mir. A.. take up his past character and sift him as wheat, and when this is done, then determine if be would fiil this office ol that office :;

HON. ROBT. w. JOHNSON.

We have received small pam phlet containing letter from this gentleman in reply to one from E. E.. Dismukes, of Lonoke, Arks. The pamphlet also contains letters from General Albert Pike, and Hon. w.. ". Wiltshire, addressed respectively to Mir. Johnson and Robt. w. Steven son, Esq. The letters are all writ ten ostensibly for the purpose of re- futing the charge that the Hon. Bob Johnson skipped out f.om among us in the times of great political trouble, and left us to work out the best way we could" Really the pamphlet is campaign document and is intended to give Mir. Johnson a good esend off in the race for the U. $. Senate, for which position, he, among a multiplicity of other things which he says in his letter, says he will be a candidate.
 In so much as this pamphlet is being circulated extensively we pre- sume it will be criticised and com mented on by the press of the State generally. The only comment that we have to make is that the letter of Mir. Johnson is one of the most ridlc- ulous and silly things we have seen for very long time. If the friends of Mir. Johnson wish him to stand a shadow of showing ill the Senate rial race they had better suppress that pamphlet at once.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-02-07
 THIEVES TO THE REAR HONEST MEN FOR OFFICE.

The Bentonville Advance notices an article which recently appeared in the New York Sun, the great thiet exposer, charging corruption upon John Young Brown, and says:
 "Will these infamous disclosures never end? Is every congressman necessarily jobber, intriguer or thief? Has justice fled to brutish beasts, and honesty become but the empty name of virtue obsolete? Let the peoplc-the great, honest hearted, long plundered people-rise in their majesty and might, and scourge from libertly's grand temple every money changer, bribe taker and trickster, who has aided in the vile work of turning it in to den of thieves. No matter what hls party or his professions, out with every scouhdrel, and let none but honest men stand guard in this dark night of the republic"
 The Advancc's words are timely and plainly spoken. The people must pay more attention to the in tcgrity and moral consciousness of men whom they elevate to official positions. If there is deubt or a shadow of a donbt abont mans honesty, he is unfit for office at this day and time. No man can now hold an office of any kind without being approached by bribers, and hence the necessity of seeing that every one elevated to office is strict ly honest beyond all possibility of yielding to the corruption bribes which will be held up to him by job bers and thieves who make their liy- ing by getting fat jobs through our legislatures and our courts.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-02-07

by 30 doing. when the election comes od avery voter would Do settled on . and | suitable man to fill m oficc. h dning this way, of course the first item to consider is honesty,
 next qualifications, and then the office will find the rHaa and not the man find his office by foul means ]; we want officers that will carry out the law to the letter, officers that will serve the people and not self; off cefs that will discharge their duty according to law and according to their oath of office. I do not think that we want minors to fill important offices neither do we want specula- tors, neither do we want dissipated
 men; we don't want any office seeker: don't want any ofil ger that is afraid
 to do his duty, but we want the righs
 men in the right place. Some one
 may say Where will yon fed the right men? Answer says: sight in old Pope, scores can be found.
 Now, reader, you may think the wri- ter oi this is an aspirant, but net so n have my work tc do which employs all my time. -
 Now, MT .Gditor,' there can be
 nothing vrtng in making mention of
 mems nanes through the county pa per, as being suitable men to fill certain positiors, so that the voters can think about the man, and if not acquainted with him so that all may
 have time to enquire about this man. And if some other men think that some other man would suit better let
 them name their man and give their
 reasons for putting his name out for others to think over.
 shall mention one mans name,
 but in doing this Mir. Editor I will
 leave you right here, and drop down to the business manager Of the DEM
 oCRAT, Mir. B. F. Jobe and tell him to hoist the name of Mir. J. k. Bat tenfield as being a suitable man to
 represent old Pope in the next Legis-
 lature, as there is no man in the coun- ty that has taken any more interest
 in the State and county, as has Mir.
 Battenfield, and l venture the asscr-
 tion that no man in the county is
 better posted than the editor of the DEMOCRAT. l throw up my old hat and hollow huzzah for Battenfield.
 Mir. lobe James k. B. may object to this part. but mean what say.
 If any one knows of a Dorc suita-
 ble man lets hear from him. More anon. A VOTER.
