OHIO LAW,

Ohio has had time of its own. In
Springfield last week some negroes
shot railroad brakeman, and base
ball player. Neither died at the time,
but the brakeman Davis has since
died. We have never known what
provocation there was for the shooting
but there must have been some. We
know, however, the high regard in
which railway brakemen and base ball
players are held IN Ohio. and how 1t is
death to harm either. Some time after
the shooting mob formed, and under
took to hang the negroes, or some
negroes, any one would do, but the
more the better they seemed to think.
Not being able to get the negroes sus.
pected they began shooting through
negroes houses and setting them on
fire, with the result that number of
negroes homes were burned, and the
police being powerless or indisposed
to stop it, the State militia was called
out.
In the South negroes are hanged by
mobs for attacks on women, but brake.
men and ball players in Ohio are
sacred; women do not count for much
out there.

Mr. Churchman introduced an Anti
Scalper's Bill last week. 1t will not
pass of course 1t was introduced to
meet tue condition expected TO arise
during the jamestown Exposition. but
had better have been Omitted. We
would like to know just how Mr..
Churchman got his paw into the
monkeys grip when he was used to
pull this chestnut out of the ire. A a
advocate of two. cent rate, and an
aDti-scalping; bill, at one and the same
time, are so Inconsistent as to cause
alarm. Fire and powder are usually
IS congenial as these opposing forces.
1t is an open secret that railways
are always at the bottom of anti
scalper's legislation and no matter
how it reaches the halls of legislation.
it always startssin railway office, and
no mask can ever hide the real face.
There is no more reason why person
who has purchased railway ticket
should not be allowed to sell it at
whatever price he can get for it than
that man who buys pig should not
again sell it. No human being has
ever been able to show why this ia
wrong in law or in morals. Railroads
try to tell US, but they don't get far.
But here is bill making it a Eel
oNY to sell railroad ticket Where
under heavens did railway ticket
become so sacred as this ? 1t is only a
trick of the railways to get people
money without giving value received,
nothing else. We are little surpris.

MIR. Churchman should scorch bis fin

A CROM WELl-N0T OLIVER.

For some time Mr.. Morgan of Ala.
has been trying to get some answers
from a certain lawyer of the name Of
William n elson Cromwell. who is sty led
the Pooh Bah of the Panama canal,
being the attorney who negotiated the
sale to the United States by the
French owners of the canal.
Mr.. Crom we'll is following the lead
of Mr.. II. Ii. Rodgers the Standard
OH King, who refused to answer ques
tions asked by the attorney general Of
Missouri. 1t has come to be a com.
mon thing for witnesses to refuse to
testify. Before the questions can be
certified to the upper court aud then
an appeal be taken to a still higher
court, all interest in the matter has
either ceased, or the reason for asking
the questions no longer exists.
Mr.. Morgan had one trouble with
| Crom well. He was attorney, and
shelter himself behind the law which
made such acts privileged. 1t makes
no difference whether Cromwell be
telling the truth or not when he re-
fuses under his prerogative of at
torney, he can refuse to answer and
thus leave it to Mr.. Morgan to ascer-
tain whether he is lying or telling the
truth. This places Mr.. Morgan
horS de combat, and renders the exam
ination useless. Mr.. Morgan labOrs
under another disadvantage. He has
a committee which takes sides with

hear ANYTHING about Panama, Mr..

vorced Panama from ombia-with.
out loss of blood. or life, or the burn.
ing of any powder, and which has done
so much to discredit the United States
with all the South American provinces.
But the committee wants none OF this
and will not compel the witness tu
answer. A sample of the defiance of
this witness may be gathered from the
following:
Do you now know that Colombia Re.

Company for al extension of timer

and impertinent questions.

the investigation, his conduct as to

not in dismissing Lanier. This was
what concerned the public Beside
Judge Crump was not responsible for
dismissing Lanier, Stuart and Fair
fax did that. His friends were sorry
for him because be alone caused the
investigation, they were more sorry
because his sense of right and wrong
was not as keen as that of Mr.. Stuart
or Mr.. Fairfax. NOBODY had to tell
them what to do. His friends were
more and more sorry when he took the
stand and said he would do it all
over again under similar eircum-
stances, and they were still if possible
more sorry that at the last moment he
was misrepresented by the press, and
made to say or seem to say what he
had not said, nor intended and thus
attempt to shift his meaning TO LAM

ing really to do.

and Fairfax on the one hand and Of
Judge Crump on the other is so differ.

the same work. When it was so easy
for them to see their way, and so diff
cult for Judge Crump to see his way.
public opinion will necessarily hold
that they should not be harnessed to
the same official load.
1t was easy for Judge Crump to
find gentlemen who would testify as to
his high character, to his guilelessness,
to bis contiding nature, aud to his
honesty of purpose; but here is an act
committed by him, which nothing
would have tempted the others to CON-
NIT and Lanier who tempted Judge
Crump would not even so much as
show his apple to Mr.. Stuart or Mr..
Fairfax. That Judge Crump has been
guilty OF nothing criminal all admit,
but be has brought discredit on the
| body of which be was a memb Der and
titular head. His sense of right and
wrong seems not to have been properly
whetted. and no apology, no evidence
of character, no explanation, will re
move from the public mind the con
viction OF this fact, or satisfy it that
be should longer: remain as. the head OF
that body. If he is not practically
asked to resign, be should do so of his
own accord and thereby avoid another
very grave mistake.

BLUEF-THEN SURRENDER.

suit in the Federal Court at Clarks

2-cENT FARE WAVE SWEEPING EAST
All Railroads this Side of the Mississippi
River Threatened with Reductions.
A Chicago special djspat,

A Chicago special dispatch to the
New York Herald says:
The railroads of every State east of
the Mississippi river are face to face
with Threatened reductions IN pas
senger far TO two centa mile basis.
That 1t will come in the near future
seems almost beyond question. 1t Is
recognized by the railroads that moth
ing can be done TO stop the progress OF
the agitation.
The example of Ohio is becoming
contagious, and quick action is de-
manded and it is expected in several
States as soon as their uew legislatures
shall convene. In Indiana The two
cent fare is almost IA campaign issue
for the legislature who will be elected
next fall will, as rule. be tacitly, if
not openly, committed to two cent
measure.
The action of Charles s. Melen,
president OF the New York, New Hav-
en- and Hartford railway, i'll reducing
fares on several divisions and in an
nounciug that be purposes speedily to
make similar reductions over the en-
tire system, is expected to do more to
advance the 2-cent fare cause than any
other one thing.
NOT AN UNMIXED EVIL
Seeiug the tremendous stimulus that
bias been given TO travel by the lower
fares of the trolley and by the special
steam road rates. many passenger Ii en-
really do not view the 2-cent era AS al
unmixed evil. They honestly believe
that reduction would have two eff
fects-stemming trolley line COMPETE
IiOn and creating a tremendous flow
of new business. This accounts for
the failure of the railroads of Ohio to
attack the legality of the new law in
the courts. They wish first to see
what effect it will have on their earn
ings, and many of them do not expect
the trial to prove disastrous.
