The Domestic Oracle.

When Congress neglected some things he
approved,
He told 'em about it.
When his family listened their feelings were
moved
AS he told 'em about it.
The statesmen went on with a manner pro-
found
AS if this wise man hadn't uttered a sound.
So he gathered his suffering kindred around
And he told 'em about it.
When Russia got worried and made a mis-
take
He told 'em about it.
Though they seemed to have trouble in
staying awake,
He told EN- about it.
But when on the races he tried out a tip,
Hypocrisy's smile fingered light on his lip.
He said he'd been out on small pleasure
trip
He didn't tell 'em about It,.

Trust Fixes the Price.
ouisyille Courier-Journal

From the LOUISVILLE CONFECTIONERY.
1.-THE farmers in the great corn States of
the west-Providence permitting -reioices
a contemporary, 'are laying plans to broad
en- the basis of national prosperity by plant
ing more corn than usual and taking extra
pains to fertiliZe the ground and insure a
bumper crop. Corn is our great crop Tn
limited corn stands for cheaper beef and
pork. more business for the carriers and
more purchasing power for the working
mans dollar" The logic of this, as applied
to beef and pork, is not convincing. The
meat trust and not the corn crop is fixing
the prices of beef and pork.

The Hartford Herald and the
ticket for which it stands still per-
sist in refusing to explain how it is
that competition in buying iron
bridges does not cheaper the price.
The practice of the bridge building
committees, two standing members
of whom now head the Democratic
ticket for county offices, in buying
these bridges, by means of private
trades, has set forth this doctrine
and a waiting public pauses for an
explanation.

of information but why did you not
give the date on which the abut-
ments were paid for and to whom
paid. The records certainly ought
to show that also. The Herald says,
Judge j. P. Miller, County Attorney
w. II. Barnes and Esq. John NJ.
Graham constituted the committe teo
have the bridge built and TIE Re-
PUBLICAN knew it. Yes indeed we
certainly knew it. We know more.
Judge J. P. Miller has been on ev-
cry iron bridge building committee
since his election seven years ago
and County Attorney W. H. Barnes
has been a member of the commit
tee to construct all the large bridges
and abutments since his election.
The Herald frankly admits that
the records do not show anything
about the contract price of the
bridge or when paid for or to whom
paid. The bridge was ordered built
nearly two years ago and as the
Herald, the mouthpiece of Demo-
cratic ticket headed by two of the
three members of the building COM
mittee, is candid enough to admit
that no record, whatever, has been
made of the cost of the bridge or to
whom or when it was paid for, if it
has, in fact, been paid for at all,
there certainly is no records of it
and there is yet no answer to our
question.

The Hartford Herald saws:

opinion. either OF the gentlemen Judge j.
p. Miiler.W. II. barnes John NJ. Graham.
r. \. Evans. q. W. Martin or W. A Rome,
who constitute the committees. are dis
honest men.
THE REPUBLICAN has never ac-
cused, by inuendo or otherwise, any
of the aforementioned gentlemen or
any one of being dishonest. 1t is
not our purpose to judge people and
hand that judgment out to the pub
lie. What we have tried to do-and
we think it legitimate and a service
to the public or we certainly would
not have attempted it's to call
attention to the official acts of the
men who now head the Democratic
ticket for county offices leaving it to
the public to judge whether they
have done the right thing or not.
Whenever the other gentlemen pre-
sent themselves for political prefer
ment it will then be ample time
to discuss their official records and
their merits or demerits.

NO ANSWER YET.

In response to the Hartford Her
AIDS assertion that the county's
public records show all about the iron
bridges built in the county during
the past few years and after show
ing that the Herald and the ticket
for which it stands had refused to
assign any reason why the iron
bridge contracts have been let Sc
cretly instead of at public cutlery,
we asked the Herald in our last is
sue the following very simple ques-
ton:
Twill the Herald please give us
the contract price of the Narrows
iron bridge and abutments, the date
on which the bridge and abutments,
were paid for and to whom
paid, citing book and page and in
whose Office the same may be
found?"
We mentioned the Narrows bridge
simply because it is the last one con-
structed and is most prominently in
the public mind. Here's the only
thing we and the public got that is
in any way responsive to the ques-
ton: .i (
II the editor OF THE REPUBLICAN or his
candidate assistant, will take the tronble

will md that s4,i2l. % was the cost OF the
