Arraying Class Against Class.

whenever q puuilc ihhh OF JOuEu- /
alist dares to tell the taxpayers
the truth about any matter effect
ing their immediate interest, the
machine politicians and their
progressive organs" howl with
loud voice, "demagOgue." Let
the people be told, that our State
government is neglectful Of their
interest and extravagant in the
expenditure Of the money wrung
from them by onerous taxation, no
body can truthfully deny the state
msnt, but the progressionists cry
out; "Thats arrayihg one class of
the community against another"
Let il be asserted, that our public
domain, sufficient in itself to give
every child in Mississippi a com
mon school education, has been
virtually given away to railroad
corporations and land syndicatcs,
and the refrain comes from the
governing class and its adherents
"That's antagonizing one class of
the community against another"
Should we denounce as unjust a
school system, which gives to the
sons and daughters of the wealthy,
more than twice as much as It
would cost TO educate them in the
best colleges in the land, TO pay
their tuition in pampered State
Institutions, or TO the boys and
girls in the separate school dis
tricts three or four times as much
as those IN the country receive, we
are charged with trying to create
class prejudices and are criticised
for want of broad aud liberal
views and progressive ideas.
Well, be it sol
We had rather be an old fogy
than a public robber.
We had rather be unprogrOssive,
than TO dishonesty take from the
labor Of the COUNTRY their hard
earnings.
We had rather bo accused
of trying to array class
against class, than be too
cowardIy to speak the truth, lest
we should offend high official digni-
taries, who have been unfaithful to
tho public trust repOsed in them,
We would rather be considered
an obstacle in the way of modern
development, than a plant tool OF
corporate power ready TO be used
to rob the peoples treasury, in
order that the Golfers of our mas
ters might be filed to overhowing.
We had rather be dog and bay
the moon, than a fawning boot
lick, cringlng at the feet of usurp-
ed power.
God save Mississippi from that
progress which stuffs ballot box
or revises ii registration roll after
election day in order to force rail-
road taxes upon an unwilling peo-
pie, and from a development, that
would take from our children the
basis of an education that foreign
land syndieates may be enriched,

The CHIoKAsAW MEssERGER is
bitterly opposed to the Memphis.
Oxford 4 Columbus Railroad and
the noisy Okolona slang-whanger
calls the gentlemen at the head Of
the enterprise "bounty bummers."
The proposed railroad don't hap
pen 70 run close enough to Okolo-
ma to suit the ideas of the MEssEN-
GER. and it is terribly put out at
the enthusiastic and unanimous
support which the people Of the
lst District Of Chickasaw are Civ
ing the road.-Columbus Index.
Men who have no principles and
are actuated by unworthy motives
themselves are always ready to
account for the position assumed
by others upon such a basis as is
here ascribed to us. We don't care
what the editor ofthe Index thinks
Of us, but we would like to say for
the benefit of his clever, honest
readers that our personal and pecu-
MARY interest would be better sub
served by the building Of the NJ.
o. & c. railroad on the proposed
| line, than if built to Okolona.
That cur Columbus critic can't ap-
preciate our position we are not
surprised, for we often do things
as a matter of principle and cor
sistency that don't appear to ac-
cord with our own interest, and
we are always on the other side
from the "bounty bummers.
Before the Index undertakes tc
write so caustic criticism of US
as the above sgaiW We would like
to have the following questions
answered:
Does he know we are opposed
to the building Of the road or only
the method by which it is pretend,
ed it will be builtY
Does he know of any railroad
in the South being built by sub,
seription since the war?
Has the gentlemen, who are in.
teresting themselves in getting up
the bond subscription invested any
of their own money in it, if yea
how much?
Will they turn over the subscrip
tion voted by the people to tn,
parties who built the road, If it i
built, or will they sell the bond
for cash or stock to be placed {,
their own crcdity
Ifa company able to build th
road have to pay for the bonds do
mated, would they not as 500
build the road with their own a
the peoples money?
Ii Jay Gould, or anybody els
able to build the road, has to pui
chase the charter, franchises, priS
ileges Of the NJ. O. & c., and Civ
the gentlemen engineering thi
scheme, stock for the bonds vote
by the people, would the partiC
building or the "bounty bummers
be the benefciaries of the doni
ton made by the people?

husband is awaiting some fair Gamse
in Che person of the aTabe and comte
Gus doctor.
Then we have our young and yer.

for some young lady.
