SlIERRILL, Eso., President dataicha Co., Alliance. Dear Sir : Your letter ul recent date, requesting me to attend aud address the ap;co chiug meeting of the Catawba Oounty Alliance was duly received. Kememberiug with sincere pleas ure the kindly personal relations that have loug existed between us, as also between myself aud many of your associates, I must coufess some feeling of regret that 1 caunot com ply with jour request conveyed to me ou most polite and friendly terms. It is due both to you and to mysell that I should give my vea on?, and as these do not lie in any matter of convenience or expedien c, bat rather iu tne serious con deration of grave questions ot a iiubiic character, you wdl doubt ies igiee with me that I should present them m this open mauner. The constitution ot the Alliance piamly declares the purpose of thf jrgauizatton ; any good citizen could endorse the-e. The constitution 'utther, both in letter aud spirit, as alaiLly declares the nonpartisan ests aud acts. Everybody knows that for tbe ast two years the principal and al nost Sole topic ot interest in the Vlbance has been paiitics, not only piriisan, but personally partisan. I have never seen any party more ;:ea'ously and systematically apply Ihe machinery of its crganizd.ion utid all the power it could command to accompiih partisan success than has b-en done iu the Alliance, es P'ciallv during the last year. It is true the leader? have declared upon occasion that the order by its con stitution must be non partisan, aud ome of these of late commonly ( ailed traitors to the Alliance, no doubt honestly labored to save the order by holding it in obedience to it-j constitutional limitations. But the constitution has been trampled under foot and despised, and that most flagrantly by those in high p sition. The aunual address of the Fresideut of the State Alliance at Greensboro, iu August last, the an mial address ot the President to the Supreme Council at Memphis iu November last, arc partisan panels, calculated certainly, and designed too, it is reasonably believed, to convert the order in defiance of the constitution to the use of, if not bodily info the Feople's party, In a measure, the logical result was produced. The State Alliance there upon adopted the Sr. Louis plat form, the Supreme Council there upon adopted the Omaha platform, tho tirst is practically and the second for mally the pla'form of the Feo p'e's party. Ami so the Alliance has been be traed and mined iu the house ot those who claimed to be its only real friends. Aud now, with pro position to regulate the partisan features, and from those too who Uave been most intlueutial in pros titaf.ng the machinery ot tbe order to partisan sometimes personally partisan ends, an effort is to b made, it seema to restore confidence in tboc who have so wickedly abused it, and bring together again t!ie scattered fragments. What tor, my friends? Who are in com mand f The extremest of the x treme element control, and with no other interest than to use the or ganizi'iou for partisan end-!, and s uit (-if from any possible hope o! s '.ccess m any other way, the future promises exactly the same kind of work at their bands, whicis we. have sien iu tbe past, and which has virtually accomplished the disinte gration of the Alliance and left it utterly without influence in a Sta '. here two years ago jt seemed to be in absolute control. - Since, the Supreme Council Has i.dopted t'ne Omaha platSorm, which i.- the most radical aud abominable of ml the political p'atlorms I have t ver seen, i hare can be but one con c usion, that, the AbiatiG- is bodily ti ai formully commuted and mcoi pjrated into the People's party, and that r.o mau who believes in Demo, ciatic pnuciples has proper place iu it. Yours truly, A. Leazae. AImmii Our Iulii Keul. Currfvrpt.n. lence "I th-j Courier. Mr. Editor: Your editorial in regai d to our public roads, togeth er wilh the recent call by Got. Holt lor a road conference has caused to be brought before our minds eye the many iough, and the few smooth parts m our roads, over which we arc compelled to travel, and we often ask ourselves why this ,4mnd hoie'' is not filled, or the rock removed. Then tho question nse-s by whom Tne honest la borer. Why ? Ah why ? Now, Mr. Editor, we shall not preume to dictate to the Houorable Conference the suggestions they should give our Legislators, further than to state a few facts as we gather them from the people with whom we dai ly inter-mingled. The word tax has become a ''atinc-h in the nos trils" of our people. You will find men who do not allow a doj on their plantation, bitterly opposed to a doy tax: And why? Because it is a tax. Now we do not meau that our people are opposed to a tax to defray the expeuce ot State and county Government. Iiut a tax lor special purposes to benefit certain sections, such as a road tax would ot necessity do, A tax that is paid to board and clothe a stout able boditd man six months tor beating his wife, or endangering the life or properly of his neighbor, or cany mg concealed about his person some deudl weapon, or for disturbing Divine Worship. And many g;; unpunished lor fear of this tax. Tbb class ot criminals rarely are bur dened with ruouey. Our people think these could be utilized to an advantage as co-workers without present system of road working. Some aiay say this would create a tax. They too would have to be fed and clotlud, and guarded. So they would. Hut did you ever es timate the cost of onr bridges ? The extra work on our roads, such as olasting etc., that would be saved to ihe county. The jail lees, tbe court costs that would be saved had the magistrates full power to send this class direct to tbe road. Now whether we are advanced enough in crime to j-istify the adoption of the Meckleul uig lioad Law in even county is a question of whih we have no doubt. Bat that same system could be devised, giving the magistrates, together with the coun ty Commissioners, full power to work our p'ubl'c roads with certain class' s of offenders, we have not a douot. You may fine them cne hundred dollars for wife beating, seventy five for retailing without a license, fifty for carrying a pistol, wenty lor disturbing Divine Wor ship, together with a long bill ol cos;s accumulated in convicting, arid what, do they care f Tbey wi 1 pay it all in twenty days iu county jail, and the honest tax payer bears ihe burdfD, aud the criminal is made worse. The consequences are, tbe criminal usually goes unpunished, for the reason that tbe honest tax payer, in puuishint: the offender would be likely to punish himself. 1 have, as an officer whose duty u is to execute the law, received with iu ihe last three das, three war rants, one for carrying a pistol, one a razor, and one a dirk. One of he parties may be able to pay the fine when arraigned, the other two caunof, I am certain, raise live dol lars with the half of their friends. Under our present mode of punish ment, who will bo the real sufferers? Why the tax payer, to be sure. What does ihe average criminal ot this class care for a few days, in tbe county jail? He usually comes out a hero. Ye tax payers of Lincoln, put your heads together and ask your abie representative to devise some piau whereby you will tie re lieved ot tbe above class as county burdens, And they can at the same time, get a job of work for their special be he tit and at their own costs. Now don't raise the cry ot skilled labor for oar bridges, or competition io honest labor till you took around and see how much 'skilled labor" has been used in the building ol bridges, or find an hon est mn wbo ie huutiog work on oor public roads- Ye Colons of Lincoln eout.t.v let us hear from you on the Road Question. We must have some changes. Yt'Urs for success. J. Will MclHTOsn, Lowesviile, N. C, Jan. 9, 1893.
