From Published reports the De-

misrepresent Mr.. Edwin II. Hackle :.
concerning his making overtures to
the Democrats. Says the Plaindeal-
er: ''ln all fairness to Mr.. Hacklev
it hastens to correct. We have en-
deavored to make fair play and truth
the features of our paper, and when
convinced of wrong we are ready to
acknowledge it and make repara-
tion." Does Che Plalndealer call
the above an acknowledgment? Does
1t offer TO make reparation? The
mere saying that it is ready to do
these things is not doing them. Mr..
Hackley has been wr,nged. and it is
due him that the Plaindealer, with,
out prevarication or a show If mag
nanimity, fair play and truthfnlness,
render an unequivocal apology. No
matter as to what one may claim 10
be, all that is necessary IN such
cases is that a full atonement be
made. Has the Plaindealer the
moral stamina to confess the turpi-
tude of its offending and sue for
pardon? We can't believe that it
will. For if past actions will suffice,
we see nothing in its present attitude
that means free and ample conres.

A BOURBON LAW BLASTED.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. Tt will
be remembered that June 6, Lawyer
Z. j. Waring Of the Baltimore bar
argued against the validity of the
Maryland Bastardy Law, before the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore City.
The Freeman as current news pub
lished portion of the argument.
The following from the Baltimore
American Of Sunday, Dec. 5, ex-
plains itself: "The State Bastardy
Law was yesterday declared uncon-
stitutional by Judge Duffy Of the
Criminal Court. The law provided
for the arrest and punishment of
white woman bearing an ille9ltimate
child; but if she disclosed the name
Of the father, whether white or col

was arrested in August last on the
oath Of Sarah K. Clinton, No. |
North Castle street, for being the
father Of her illegitimate child, born
April 2, 1886.
His counsel, +. G. Butler, de-
INJURED to the indictment, on the
ground that the law is unconstitu-
tional. 1t was so ruled by Judge
Duffy who-said: "That the Bastardy
Law denied t. q white woman equal
protection to a colored woman in
this respect, that it made a white
woman Sho bad an illegitimate
child liable to arrest and prosecu-
zion, when no such proceedings
were provided against colored wo-
man. Again, it denied the cololed
woman the right to have the father
Of her illegitimate child compelled,
by process Of law, to support the
child, q right accorded by law to the
white woman, and was therefore in
that respect also unconstitutional. |
Although there was no dlscrim imina-
ton in color made by the law as to
the putative fathers, since the liabil:
ity Of the father Gepened upon the
mother being white, that part of the
law which punished the father being
dependent for its operation upon a
precedent portion of the law which
was unconstitutional, is itself un-
constitutional. The whole law is.
therefore, against the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of

the brotherhood and their counsel.

The Circus SWindler.

"How do the circus swindlers get their

Butte that THE MINER has considered 1t q
duty to discover and publish the modus
Operandi.
The citizen walks up to the ticket wagon,
calls for a couple OF tickets and gives ten
dollar bill in payment. The ticket-seller,
if he is a ~swindler, pushes back two tickets
and So in change, telling the citizen to count
it. The citizen does SO, finds it all right,
and is about to place it in his pocket when
the ticket-seller calls him back, pretends
that he himself has made q mistake n
asks permission to look at the cash. 1t ID

done. The dishonest agent slyly
substitutes a one-dollar or two,

with a low-toned admonition to look our
for pickpockets. II the citizen is a sucker
he pockets the money and hastens into en-
