MONDAY MORNING.. DECEMBER go

We closed the poles immejily, till we Good
hasten home and git our shot guns and revolt
veIs. Then we opened the poles agin and re-
monstrated with em agn this outrage. We
felt that we wuz being coerced into permittin
u unholy Radikel majority at the Corners, witch
hez alluz bin Dimekratic, and wich shell alluz
be. We told em they shood vote, but they
must vote the Dimekratic tiket like tree men.
Ell they felt they coodent do that they he'd be-
ter not inf anne the Corners, and perv0ke blood
by stayin round the poles.
One nv em demanded the rite to vote ez be
pleased, when Issaker Gaviit. wich is materially
quick, blew the top nv his head off with a
charge nv buck shot. Hevin tasted blood, a
general battos ensued in W ch nine-two Nv EN-
wuz killed, and the rest took to Their heels and
rtfoosed to vote.
This wuz all Their wuz 10 the matter Posi-.
bly, Their wuz more Nv EN- killed than wuz strik-
ly neesary. Possibly KILN fifty, or perhaps
twenty-five, wood hev ansered the purpus jest
ez we'll. Eff so.we are sorry and are wllin to
apologize to the friends Nv the deceast. We de-
sire allus to do the proper and manly thing
But when We are asked to permit R-publi-
kin majority at the Corners, we say no! and we
will say il at the muzzle Of the shotgun, IF
needs be, tho we he'd ruther not. We wood
much prefer that the misgided men wood listen
to reason aud come into the Dimekratic fold by
peaceful meens but come they must or suffer
the consekences
Why, look at it! Without hevin a solid
South how kin we sekoor the speshle appropri-
ashens wich we must hev? How kin we drive
the North into the payment nv our debt, and
the penshunin Nv our soljers? How kin we
elect the mex Presidunt, and run the Govern,
meDt in the interest Nv the South? With q
divided delegashun it wood be impossible. Let
the North think nv our necessities, and we ars
sboor they will approve our scksheD.
do not know tibet this simple statement will
hev any effec upon the besotted Northern press

Taxation.

To the Editor of the Press:
SR:-Your correspondent is a funny man
who wrote to you that if N. ID. twill use as
much energy with the same persistency to &C.
complish q reform in the mode of taxation as
he has in his efforts for prohibition, he will
have the thanks of very many oppressed ones"
I say he Is a funny man because be seems to
have some interest in the matter Of unjust and
unequal taxaion, and yet is ignorant of the
fact that prohibition is nothing else than
great endeavor to relieve oppressed ones"
from q frightful burden OF unjust, wicked, ire
mendous taxation. Prohibition to the grog-
shops is nothing but that.
But your correspondent is not alone in his
ignorance of this fact, which is so plain that
do not see how it can escape the observation OF
any man with an ordinary share of intelligence.
The grog-shops tax many thousands of men,
women, and children into hunger, wretched-
ness, and rags; into poverty, pauperism, and
crime; into work houses, jails, ard Insane asy
lums. The grog-shops tax many thousands of
homes Of every vestige of home happiness, sub
shutting for it every possible shade and inten-
sty of misery, sin, and shame. The grog
shops tax many thousands of people ont Of
health, reputation and character, and tax them
into premature and dishonored graves
The grog shops tax the general community
in enormous percentages to pay for che
strife and waste which they produce in thous-
and ways. They tax children into slums and gut
ters where they shivsr and starve; but if they
survive the hardships and horrors brought up
on them by this dreadful taxation, they grow
mp only TO swell the ranks of the dangerous
classes of society, of those who live not BY hon.
est labor, but by depredations upon the earl :
ings of others.
The gr0g shops tax thousands If people out
of all disposition and ability to live by the just
wages of honest work, and tax them into
fierce resolve to live by depred atoms upon
the produces Of other peoples industry and
economy. The grog shops tax the honest
workers OF the community to build work
houses, jails and lunatic asy lums, into which
they tax poor people to the utmost capacity of
these places. There is not household in the
community-not one-that escapes this horrid
taxstion. This house is taxed out of father,
that one out of son, another out of daugh-
ter, and all are taxed out of immense sums, the
most of which is absolute waste and loss of so
value, while par Of it goes into the pockets
OF the unscrupulous men aud women who
against public opinion and against the law,
operate this devlish enginery of tsxarion.
