"Shoo Fly Don't Bodder Me-"

We have given but little atten. tion to the false references made to us by the Prescott Dispatch, knowing as we do that the editor of that paper is a crank and fanatic upon the labor problem The fact is after due consideration We are deeply inclined to pity him in his malady.
 In his latest he uses the follow ing elegant @ and journalistic.F ID language, such as only could have been expected from Herr Most's anarchist organ:
 Boss Ned cackles and cackles over the defeat of the three labor candidates. Yet he poses as boss of the labor party. So did Judas pose as disciple so long as he was trusted with the bag, but when the bag got empty he sold his mas. ter for thirty pieces of silver. Judas hung himself. We can't imagine what boss Ned will do when his conscience wakes up.
 The charge that we pose as "bossH of any party. is of itself known to be untrue by the Dis. patch, and did We not recognize the fact that our con frere is cranky We would be constrained to order 'pistols and coffee for two.n but he really has our pity, for We knew him when Richard was himself, and not d leader of the anarchist and communist sentiment in Ar. kansas.
 The Dispatch has frequently ap. piled snch epithets as "Judas Is- cariot," "a tool of Jay Gould," etc. to the editor of this paper, yet, although frequently chslenged to do so, 1t has never been able to show wherein We have been recre. ant to the best interests of the country or the principles of the Greenback party, or wherein We have uttered sentiment antagon. ietic to the best interests of the la. boring classes. In fact that paper oi ''any any other fellow" cannot do so.
 That we have condemned viola tions of law, strikes, hoycotts and anarchy. we are glad to admit.
 And we are proud ,of the fact that we have refused to submit to the bosslsm of the Dispatch and it's strikers and scribblers, and rallied to the support of every jackass that brays monopoly
 We feel happy to know, that while we have beeu the friend ol labor, We have not attempted to array one class of citizens against another, but have recognized the fact that this is one big common country, under the flag of which We can worship God, or follow any occupation, according to our own tastes and consciences
 It is a source of qualification, too, for us to know, that like the Independent, majority of Green, packers in this Congressional dis trict, by their refusal to follow the dictation and bossism of the Dis. patch. have declared themselves ir favor of law, order and free gov ernment, and repudlated it's an archism. socialism and other here sies, antagonistic to the spirit o onr free institutions.
 @ Thank heaven that we have the independence to express our hon est sentiments, and that those sen timents will be in favor of law ant order and that we will never b, a party toplaS upon the prejudice' of the laboring classes by the pro mitigation of falsehoods and fals. ideas, thereby involving them i, trouble and ruin, and bringing dis tress and suffering upon thei, wives and children.
 The Dispatch has our sl mpathy and we trust that if it's editor can not be cured of his malady ss | member of the Arkansas legisla ture, he may find relief in the lu natic asylum -Texarkana Inde pendent.
