UNJUST COMPARISON.

The Telegraph this morning, in
keeping with its usual methods of po-
litical procedure, makes a very un-
just comparison between the taxation
in Monroe and Mercer. The Tele
graph delights in half truths or no
truth at all, just as in another edi-
torial this morning it tells the people
that both Mr.. Baker and Hawley vot.
ed Gor the submission OF the prohibi-
ton amendment, but fails to state that
Baker failed to so vote at a time when
his vote would have resulted in submis
sion. In this tax comparison which
shows taxation to be slightly higher
in Monroe, the Telegraph fails to con
slider that Monroe county has only one
mile of railroad from which it re.
ceiyes taxes, while Mercer with the
Virginian and the Norfolk e. Western
including some fifty or sixty miles of
yard track in Bluefeld, has approx
mately 200 miles of railroad within
her borders. Nor does il take into
account that Mercer has number
OF big coal operations while Monroe
has not a single one In the matter
of raising taxes these things amount
70 a big item. Monroe is a farming
county with no mines, or railroads

to make mention OF the fact that AIer

100000 hanging over her with nigh
" little 70 show for it. while the Dem

than those Of Mercer, and just as
much or more TO her credit I'm the
way Of public Improvements.
The comparison is eminently un
just and when the real truth is known

the Telegraph was attempting &,

SIXTH: The maintenance OF free
popular government ana the prescr.
walton of our liberties being depend.
ent upon an incorruptible and patriot
lie electorate, we favor such re-
vision OF state constitution as will ex.
clude the shiftless, floating, vicious
and criminal element from the ballot
and secure the control of government
to those who have an interest in the
welfare of the state.
We therefore direct our Represen.
tatives in the legislature to use all
fair and honorable means to have
such an amendment TO the constitu.
ton submitted to vote OF the people
for their ratification or rejection.
SEVENTH: We favor the enact
ment of a just and honest registra-
. ton law. which will protect the rights
OF the legal voters and put an end
to illegal and fraudulent voting in
this State; the purity of the ballot be.
ing absolutely essential to the preser.
walton and maintenance of good gov
eminent. MT
The-registration law now in force is
the result of an effort OF Republican
Legislature to quiet the repeated and
urgent demands of the people for an
honest registration law protecting the
purity of the ballot, and at the same
time to place the least possible re-
strictions upon the corrupt practices
carried on in certain counties of the
State, where colonizing illegal voters
and repeating at the polls had be-
come the common practice Of Repub-
lican politicians and officials.
EIGHTH: We favor the enactment
of law requiring common carriers
OF passengers to furnish seperate
coaches or compartments for white
and colored passengers, giving to each
equal accommodations.
NINTH: We recognize the fact that
capital and labor are mutually de-
pendent upon each other, and that
each have sacred rights which must
be protected But we declare that the
toilers of our State and those who are
dependent upon them should not be
compelled to bear alone the burden

fore favor the enactment of just and
equitable employers liability law.
TENTH: We favor the systematic
improvement of our public highways
carried forward as fast as conditions
and finances will permit.
ELEVENTH: We direct attention
to the fact that the Republican party
in this county is controlled today by
the same coterle of scheming politi-
clans who controlled and guided the
policies and affairs of that party two
years ago, and prior thereto. That
their scheme now is to deceive and
divide the forces of reform and good
