PENSARY. The issue is a moral one,
and is stripped and clear cut as it may
never be again, and is submitted to
tribunal of White Men that may never
be smaller. This l advise as one of your
representatives, striving to do what is
right and with nothing else before me.
The issue being with me a moral one,
| shall judge no man for myself and as
an individual, ] favor the Dspensary
because l believe that it is best, and to
those WHO THINK LIKEWISE this
urgent appeal is especially intended and
directed.
Let not a moment be lost. The time
is at hand and the county is already agi-
tated and alive to the issue. But aside
small personal differences, for there is
no leader but one, whose name is
DUTY; and go out among the people
by tens, and by hundreds if necessary
and bring out the vote. 1t may mean
to some change of advice, but moral
men on moral issues are for right above
all else.
LET THE WINGS COME UP INTO
LINE, AND LET THE COMMAND BE
FORWARD, GUIDE CENTER. AND
VICTORY is OURS. LET NO MAN
SAY THAT THEY STOOD AND SAW
THEIR COMRADES CUT TO PIECES
FOR LACK OF SUPPORT.

TRUSTS LOSE FIGHT
Present Bill Taxing Them to
Become a Law.
M Amendments to the Bill. Governor Ode
Wins The Battle Against The New
York Corporations.
New York Herald. }

Albany y. Y, Tuesday.-The bill tax
ing trust companies one per cent upon the
capital, surplus and undivided profits will
be made party measure and will become
law.
You can talk all day about what you
resolve. = said Governor Odell this morn
ing to about ten presidents of trust COM
panies, but l tell you it is not ques-
ton of what you resolve or what you
think, The people do not believe, and
you do not, that you pay anything like
your proper proportion of taxation.
Why, a trust company in Newburg
does not pay as much on large capital
ization as l pay on my house. 1t is a
question not between you gentlemen, but
between your companies and the people
who are paying real estate taxation. You
cannot convince the people that such a
thing is equitable.
Il did not suggest these tax measures
after couple of weeks consideration or
even months. l have been studying
the matter for four years and l know
what / am talking about
JULIEN T. DAVIES ADDRESS.
Julien T. Davies. of New York, speak
ing for the trust company presidents, said
TO the Governor:
con the train coming UP we discussed
this matter. and while we agreed that
trust companies ought to be taxed, the
standard set in this bill is not equitable.
What we propose is that you amend the
bill SO as to eCualize the tax.
Under it's present provisions the bin
will imoCse a tax of two and one half
per cent on some companies and thirty per
cent on others. We believe the proper
method would be to tax us one and d
half per cent either on our gross receipts
or on our earnings instead of income
Governor Odell's answer was quick and
decisive He said: eff the Legislature
sends me any such proposition l shall
veto it in two minutes. 1t would not be
equitable with present real estate taxa
ton. and you take too narrow view
of the situation"
MORTGAGE TAX LAW.
During the hearing Governor Odell de-
clared 1T is a disgraceful injustice to
every dofenseless child that the present
mortgage tax law should be in force
and that funds left them in trust should
be taxed / hope to relieve it by the
passage of the tax bills now before the
Legislature.

THE1MPEACHEMENT TRIAL

The scene in the House of Represen-
tatives yesterday was most impressive.
Leading men from all sections of the
State crowded the Hobbies and the hall.
the gallery was filled with ladies, and
every member was in his seat when
Speaker pro tenn. Gattis announced at
II o'clock that the hour for the special
order had arrived. An expectancy pre-
vaded the House, solemn expectancy
born of the solemnity of the resolu-
ton for the impeachment of Chief JUS
tice Furches and Associate Justice
Douglas
The speeches were of a high order.
From the speech of Judge Allen, chair
man of the Judiciary Committee, who
opened the debate ina singularly clear
cut, logical impressive speech in advo-
cacy of impeachment to the closing
speech of Judge Conner, who present
ed his argument against impeachment
in the frank, able and persuasive man
ner that makes his speeches have
weight. Judge Graham's legal argu
ment was learned. profound and COM
plete. Mr.. Stubb's Grafton was eloquent
and some of it's passages We're beauti-
full Mr.. sBaldwin's argument was Wig
orous, trenchant, powerful. Mr.. Sea-
well flashed his maiden sword in one of
the best speeches delivered in the House
this session. 1t was much compliment
ed and made a fine impression Mr..
Hood was at his best and made a splen-
did argument.

vious question will not be called and

breadth and difference of opinion be-

Republicans, every one of whom stands

The day after the appearance of this
scurrilous editorial. the News and OBJ
server, in defense of the Democratic
majority and the Democratic party, called
attention to the Charlotte Observers
foul and uncalled for abuse of Democratic
leaders who had stood up for the party,
and to it's frequent praise of Republican
leaders who were seeking to destroy the
Democratic party. 1t has no more respect
for the Charlotte Observers treachery
than for the same sort of treachery that
characterized the Asheville Gazette in
1900. The variegated little animal now
let fly upon the News and Observer his
full stock of filth and venom. The oft
refuted lies, so often and so persistently
published in the Charlotte Observer and
other Republican papers. originating with
baffled Radicals, concerning the editor of
this paper were now repeated with great
gusto. This writer cares nothing for
those stale falsehoods nor for the filthy
abuse that is heaped upon him personally
by the scurrilous and staggering black
guard of the Charlotte Observer
Nor can he notice the false and brutal
SANDER upon the memory of his dead
father. That SANDER could not have been
uttered by any man when sane and sober.
Nor does he think it necessary to notice
the brutal and ungentIemanly reference
to those ladies' connected with him by
marriage, who are earning their living in
government positions. other than to deny
that at any time he has made any request
OF any kind of Senator Pritchard or any
other Republican in their behalf
