Upper Neck Mud Machine at work.
EDITOR OF THE Observation-Disclosures:
In the issue of the Pennsgrove Record
of March 9th inst, mailed me from the
Record Office, l notice an article headed
Assessment Laws Don't Suit in COM
ment of your reference the previous
week to the tax law of last year, and,
judging the article by it's ear-marks, is
an editorial production. The article in
question, while purporting to be a stric-
ture on your editorial of the previous
week, goes wide of the mark and strikes
directly at me; not SO much as a member
of the County Board of Assessors, but
personally as the Assessor of the borough
of WOodstown, and is untruthful in its
statements and unmanly in its imputa-
tions. 1t bears on its face the birthmark
of personal spite, and, for scurrility,
measures up to the capacity of one of
Ben Buffers 40-jackass-power mud
machines.
Mr.. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, who is this
billingsgate from U. P. Neck-this
obscure editor of the Pennsgrove Record,
who assumes the role of a modern
Octavius, and, in the privacy of his edi-
torial office, whom he wills, pricks to he
damned? Your editorial, although but
q plain statement of a simple fact, seems
to have prodded this Polyphemus of
Democratic faith to snap his jaws at
everything, from borough assessment to
Legislative enactment.
But W. forgive the editor of all the
harsh thing said against us, and court no
fellowship with the unclean spirit of
bate.
We have in remembrance a legend of
the past, that made the gods forgive
Momus when he kicked them, on the
plea that outward acts are but the
promptings of an inner nature, and, in
our Measure and estimate of men, we can
afford to be alike charitable. We really
pity a man whose inherent qualities
prompt him, like the beetle called the
tumble-bug, to trail his better nature in
the dirt and to keep his lower nature at
the top, intent only on gathering a little
harvest of unclean things.
Had the editor of the Record shown, in
the spirit of his article, a desire to dis
cuss, in fairness and in ~truthfulness, the
tax law and the action of the County
Board of Assessors in relation thereto,
or my action as the local Assessor of the
borough of Woodstown, we would have
been willing to meet him in the discus
sion and to have e~ndeavored to show that
the course pursued was the only feasible
way out of the difficulty that confronted
US, and that the assessment was more
equitably made and the spirit of the law
more subserved in the breach thar in the
observance.
But, as the editor of the Record, by the
spirit of his article, has stepped out of
the arena of honorable discussion and
challenged us to the cockpit to measure
ability in the use of means that would
belittle us both, we ignore the challenge,
sensible of the fact that in a contest with
foul weapons, a polecst could vanquish a
logician. CHAs. 81. RIcHMAN.
