TO the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, No., July 81 would
like to know the reason ~hy a GER
tain county official who, whenever
opportunity presents, rails against
and denounces ''soulless corpora
yet this same county official
in violation of Section "a of Article
II of the state constitution, an instru-
ment which his official oath requires
him to uphold and support, accepts
favors from the same artificial per-
sons he so violently denounces?
JUSTICE.
Since receiving the above commun-
ication we have investigated the sug-
gestion therein and find that "Hon.
I. B. Buckner. prosecuting attorney
this is the language of the pass
of this county, is the only county Of
fetal of this county who Is in posses
sion Of a free pass over any railroad
passing through this county. The
following IS the constitutional pro-
vision which is violated by the accept
ance of snch free pass:
Section XIV, Article XII.-"No
railroad or other transportation com,
pany shall grant free passes or tick
cts, or passes or tickets at a discount.
10 members of the General Assembly,
or members of the Board of Equal.
z~ation, or any State, or county, OF
municipal officers; and the accept
ance of such pass or tickets by &
member of the General Assembly, o.
any such officer, shall be a .toJeitnr'
of his Office"
The law appears to be plain.
In view of the fact that only las
Saturday he gave us his views o
"soulless corporations" it seem
strange that he would accept favor
from the artificial persons" be s.
severely condemns, and that. too, il
violation of the constitution. Fol
lowing are some of his choice stereo
type exudations OF the subject Q
the ''soulless corporations" IS he i
pleased to call them so often in hi
entirely original 60 address of las
Saturday:
sit is an unwise step on the pal
of any government to charter corpe
: rations."
"They concentrate capital fror
the hands of the many into the hand
! of the few" Yes, they permit 20
to keep your money in your pocke
while the poor laborer has to han
it oyer to them if he wants to take
ride on their cars
: "They encourage Frauds" an
you might have added, induce swor
, officials to violate their duties an
, oaths.
THE evils of corporations stan
, out as the upas tree poisoning ever
: industrial object coming beneath il
shadow" Yes, that is so; and 70
must have passed beneath the sha(
ow."
:, Then he says again, 1.-THE onl
: remedy is to grub it Uhe corporation
:, up root and branch That is right
take away the railroads hen the
won't induce you to accept fire
, passes in violation of the law 20
are sworn to uphold and enforce.
LATER.-Since the above was pl
into type, and Inc Mr. Buckner W:
informed that it was In type, he h:
returned the pass to the rallroa
company.

LoEDoN, Feb. 26.-Lord Salisbury said in
submitting the motion OF censure that the
Government acted throughout as II they
were unwilling to arrive st any decision
until the very last moment. They always
waited until external pressure forced them
to form some kind Of decision. The result
Of these hastily conceived measures had
been throughout deplorable. In the absence
Of any fixed policy the Govern
ment had adopted the absurd plan
Of taking advantage of the chiYalry and
selldeYOtion OF one o. the nOblest spirits Of
the age 10 accomplish by mere words and
promises what they lacked the courage TO
accomplish by force Of srms. The speaker
then reviewed the events III Egypt from the
period OF the Arabs rebellion to that of the
present troubles in the Soudan. The govern
ment. he said. knew General Gordon was in
danger, and although they knew he was en-
dsDgeTed they held back from sending him
succOr, thereby incurring the penalty OF the
present indellible disgrace.
