WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

From the Concord Daily Standard
of July Goth, We clip the following
editorial paragraph:
When the county has fair s7rink-
ling of the suspicious white vote that
will risk any injury to the country
rather than abandon prejudices so
inimical to patriotism it is time that
we eliminate as much Of the danger
Gus vote as possible from whatever
point we can.
What does the Standard mean
when it speaks Of the "Sprinkling OF
the Suspicious White Vote," and fur
Their on argues that ''it is time tc
eliminate as much of the dangerous
vote as possible from whatever poin
we CAM
Does the Standard make bold tn,
assertion that it is the purpose of tn
machine to eliminate a large nor
ton of the dangerous white vote o
the State by the adoption of the Con
stitutional amendment
Is it the purpose of the amendmen
to deprive a large element of tn
white population of the right to vote
1t would seem from the bold utter
ance Of the Standard that it reall
desires the disfranch sement of tina
portion of the WHITE vote that wi
not FOLLOW Or SUBMIT to the diets

| The machine should sumaril

The masses of our fellow citizens
are intelligent aud just. They have
no hostility to railroads as such, but
only to their abuses. They recog-
nize the immense value of railroads,
their indispensable assistance in the
development of this country. By in
dividual, city, county, State and Ma
tional subscriptions they have aided
the construction of the railroad sys-
tenn in this country. They have seen
individual stockholders 'froz out;
they have seen city, county and
State holdings displaced that great
manipulators may become the own
ers of these properties. They have
seen the more than $500, 600, 900 of
National aid given in lands and
bonds, disappear "like the baseless
fabric of vision" and leave scarce
a wreck behind. These thing they
have endured and would even for
give it the present management of
these systems were fair and just.

The crucial question for solution
is whether the interference of great
corporations in politics and their
secret discrimination in rates, where
by trusts are created and sustained
can be suppressed without resort to
government ownership. These evils
must be eliminated. TIE hope Of
America lies in the very fact that
our people will not submit to such
abuses much longer.

 Tn the days of it's youth, it was noted for order,
 Notwithstanding the fact that it lay on the Border) And no one had dared its fair name to besmirch,
 Till A BIRD of i'll omen decided to perch Since when, with his quarrelings and bickerings many,
 The place has become a second Kilkenny. With mind full of filth and heart full of spleen,
 He fl his poor paper with com- ments obscene; And yet with all this effrontery to crown,
 He dares to insist he's improving the town. Once respectable men neither gam bled or bet
 Nor spent the whole night at a game Uf roulette. Now you see dissipation in half that you meet,
 While the vilest of creatures are swarming the street. Yet this BIRD still goes on villifying good men,
 Nor gives crying evils stroke of the pen. Come maidens and matrons, lets rise in our might, :4 to flight. And then, with what s left of the tar and the down,
 Do the Jezebels up, and thus cleanse the town.
