AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR EX-
PLANTATION HAS BEEN GIVEN.

A prominent member of a certain
iron bridge building committee who
is also a candidate for office on the
Democrat ticket puts the following
question to US through the editorial
columns of the Hartford Herald:
Has the editor of The HARTFORD RE-
PUBLICAN ever called on any member Of
any iron bridge building committee Of
ohio county for any information? Hyou
say You have. please state who IL and
when you called on him. And II youha
not called. please explain why.
For the benefit of the candidate
iron bridge committeeman who
penned these lines, we will say that
we have never interviewed private
ly nor personally any member of
any iron bridge building committee,
with view of gaining any informa-
ton about the iron bridges from
him. The reason why we have not
is simply this: Committeeman Judge

friend, M. S. Ragland, any informa-
ton about the time and place of the
meeting of the committees that re-

THE Hartford Herald reminds us
Of the man. of whom every body
has heard, who persisted in saying
that a Ger tain horse was seventeen
feet high when in point of fact the
horse was less than six feet high.
Sometime ago it harassed its few
readers with the statement that the
present Democrat County Judge and
Fiscal Court had paid off S35 200 in
debtedness Of the county in the past
seven years. Every body knew the
statement was not true and passed
it by as the seventeen feet horse
joke is passed by At this particu-
ar time this great? journal is annoy
ing its few remaining readers with
the statement that ten per cent. has
been saved on iron bridges and
twenty-five per cent. on sbItments
built in Ohio county during the past
seven years. OF course no one be-
lieves the statement. 1t is consid-
cred in the light Of the old seventeen
feet horse joke just like the $50, 200
gag" And why should anyone be-
lieve such d cock and bull" story
when there is not a single fact or fig
ure given on which to base such a con-
clusion. The cost of single bridge
or abutment. built in the last seven
years, is not given, neither is the
cost of bridge or abutment built
before that date given. Show upl
the figures Mr.. Herald or shut up |
lest you bore the remainder of your
readers to death.

tanned from the knowing members
of the committees. But we have
asked and are still asking these COM
mittees through the columns of THE
REPUBLICAN for an explanation.
In The REPUBLICAN of date of
June 80, we said to the iron bridge
building committees as well as to
the public. People are asking US
such questions as why it costs nearly
twice as much to build an iron
bridge in Ohio county as it does in
Davies county. If any one can help
us to inform an inquiring public we
would greatly appreciate the favor. -
And the candidate committeeman
and all the others made no response.
Again in THE REPUBLICAN of date
of July Is we said to the same "om-
'mittees and the public; Anyone who
can find out, ten days in advance
when the contract for the building
of the iron bridge across Rough
creek at Ambrose ford will be let out,
can earn a neat little sum by notify
ing a certain bridge company whose
address can be learned by applying
at The REPUBLICAN office" To
which the candidate iron bridge
committeeman and all the others
made no response.
Again in The REPUBLICAN of date
. of August we said to the same
committees and the public; There
is such an inviting field for the iron
bridge business in Ohio county that
other bridge companies are willing
to pay to get a chance to bid against
the Champion Bridge Co., on the
contract for building the bridge
across Rough River at Ambrose
ford, The committee on construc-
tion,if they propose to give square
deal, should notify all available
bridge companies of the time and
place of the letting of this, as well
as all other contracts for the con-
struction of the iron bridges" And
the candidate committeeman and all
the others made no response.
Again in THE REPUBLICAN of date
of August Is we said to the same
committees and the public: "Sev-
eral weeks have passed since we in
vited the committee whose duty it +,
is to contract for the iron bridge
across Rough River at Ambrose ford
to explain how, when and where the
letting of the contract would &C.
cur. But as yet they have made no
response" And to this the candi-
didate committeeman and all the |
others made no response.
In view of these various pointed pub
lie statements and interrogations how
can the iron bridge committeeman
and candidate, who is now assisting
in editing the Hartford Herald, or
any one else, have the audacity to
ask US if we have called on any men,
Der of any iron bridge building COM
mittee for any information? Have
not the iron bridge committees been
given ample opportunity to explain

Does Not apply to Interstate Com

Annapolis, Nd, March 22-In opinion delivered
to-day the Court OF Appeals held that the act
passed the last session Of the legislature COM
monty known as the Jim Crow law. requiring
steam railways in the State OF Maryland TO furnish
separate compartments for white and colored pas
sengers is valid far affects commerce with

gers. and must be construed not applying to
them. II. II. Hart, the appellant in the case, is

ed for refusing to go into the compartment as
signed to colored passengers while he held
through ticket from New-York TO Washington on
the cars Of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and WASH
ington Railroad Company and was fined 50 and
costs by the Circuit Court for Cecil County. From
this verdict he appealed. The Court of Appeals up
holds right OF common carriers to make reason
able regulations providing for the separation or the
races and also the right OF the legislature TO I'M
pose such regulations upon common carriers. How
ever, in the matter of imposing such regulations
upon carriers engaged in interstate commerce, the
Maryland court regards the decision of the United

The committees charge against the exposition

Award ribbons are sold by concessionaires solely
no exposition official having any interest therein
Their sale was permitted by the exposition for
the accommodation of exhibitors. but was re-
stricted to receiving awards, and other pur-
chases of such ribbons are fraud. to which both
concessionaire and purchaser are parties and both
will be prosecuted in every instance. All charges
that awards Of this exposition are subject Of
commercial barter wholly false and their
authors wilful fasiers, and those who repeat them
belong to the class. Award diplomas and
