Solons Would Not Dine With Col
ored Colleague.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sunday Herald
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a few days
ago Representative Sprague, Of Massachu-
sets, invited his fellow members of the
House committee on the District of Colum
bia to attend dinner at his house in honor
of the District commissioners. One of
the members is Mr.. George H. White, of
North Carolina. Mr. White is colored
man. The other members of the COM
mttee consulted together as to the pro-
priety of dining with colored man, only
one white member being so incautious as
to accept the invitation without remember
ing that Mr.. White would also be there.
The single member who accepted was
Representative Peter Otey, of Virginia,
who can hardly be regarded as averse to
drawing the color line on all possible
occasions When it began to look as
if Mr. Sprague would have no guests
except Mr. Otey, Mr.. White and the
commissioners, the host was appealed to-;
but he was reluctant to offend Mr. White,
who had already accepted. The matter
was at last disposed of yesterday by the
withdrawal of all the invitationf by Mr.
Sprague

Let Maryland Learn From West
Virginia.
From Cumberland Times.

From Cumberland Times.
There is conspiracy on The part of the
Republican leaders to take possession OF
Maryland peaceably if they can, forcibly
if they must. Something has been sus-
pected of this sort for some time from the
fact that so many foreign negroes are an
nually registering in Maryland and the big
corporations are bringing them in by the
hundreds as laborers An analysis OF the
recent Federal census in Eastern counties
would seem to add to this suspicion.
West Virginia, which has been made
solidly Republican by such methods is an
example which the Republican leaders in
Maryland have no doubt been initiating,
and which they are anxious to emulate.
Large numbers of foreign negroes have
come and been brought into Maryland
within the last year and they are only wait
ing for an opportunity to register.
Should Maryland Democrats do like
those of her sister State, West Virginia,
wait till the enemy has bound them hand
and foot and then try to kick :? We say
nay. If the Republicans can't win on
good principles they should lose.
