WHY NOT BE HoNEsrs

We copied last week from the Mil
ford Chronicle an article, political
Thieves" claiming that plot had
been formed to steal the scrap assess
ment in Kent county. Tie Sentinel did
not refer to the matter on Saturday
and the Democratic papers call it fab.
rication with joke as its only excuse
for publication. 1t is unfortunate that
it was published at all, unfortunate for
Republicans who deplore any misrepre-
sen,ation Of facts but having suffered
Sd much along this line Of assessments.
SC, under the abomiable law of '73.
the report was accepted as truth. The
TRANSCRIPT is only too glad to make
the denial of the Chronicles story and
will add later any explanation that pa
per may make. Had Clerk of the Peace
Dickson not run away from his duties
during March and thus prevented the
assessment of Republicans who were
anxious to qualify as voters the story
would not have gotten in the TRAN
SCRIPT without confederation. Reing
guilty of the one wrong Mr.. Dskso
has evidently suffered from an unjust
accusation. ThiSis tbe explanation. This
is the JUS apology due Mr.. Dickson.
The Democratic papers in noticing
this matter turn wi b the charge. "You
are anotherl" They refer to the Whann
assessment in Wilmington, which may
or may not be exaggerated. Mr.. Whann
says the assessmentIin correct one and
that the explanation is the county has
heretofore been cheated out Of the taxes
of these men, and they have b ZEN
cheated out of the right to vote. Why
not be honest in these matters? The
TRANSCRIPT has condemned the as
sessment, if it is wrong, and we con-
denim all wrong assessments and fail
ures to assess, but it is Invariably
coupled by us with a Condemnation of
the law which permits such ou,rages,
II they are as charged by political op-
ponents. Democratic politicians, and
Democratic papers which have upheld
the politicians, should hide their faces
with shame when few doses of their
own medicine prove SO nauseatine to
them. Honest Democrats, those who
condemn wrong within and without
Che party alike, may justly censure
wrong doing among Republicans even
when they follow only in the steps OF
othe 8. What the people should demand,
Is ia r and honest treatment Of all citi-
y ms alike, the preservation OF their po-
lit cal rights irrespectige IL party. |

Montgomery County Items.

The Montgomery County tax rate
FOR this year will be 80 cents on the
500.
The farmers of this county are much
bothered in filling out the assessment
blanks, especially the blank relating
TO real estate. In several localities
meetings have been held in order to
establish some satisfactory rule for val
uation of farm lands. At Poolesville
the opinion of the meeting was that
$40 per acre, exclusive of improve
ments, would be a fair valuation of
first class farm lands; Sis for second
class, and $40 for third class, &c. At
Sandy Spring the meeting concluded
that SIS per acre would be ample for
first class lands, while the Spencerville
meeting put S35 as the figure for the
best farms.
