There Is no campaign on ana 9
there is perhaps no particu. I call Z
say it at this time. But We want t.
say, of our own motion, tbat Ed L
Barber is making the mo active
intelligent and effective sut rintend
ent of public instruction TIL county
ever had. He is absolutely nntirine
in his labor for the good of o, schools
He is visiting them whene, -r posi-
BILE to get away from his OF. je, he i.
delivering educational address es to the
patrons when an appointmeu5 can be
made, communicating something ol
his own zeal and enthusiasm to par
ents, pupils and teachers. In connec-
ton with Supt. Culver, of WOodson
county, he prepared an elaborate
Course of Study" for the graded dis
trict schools, 8 900 copies Of which have
been printed and distributed without
expense to the county-a work which
| it was no part of his official duty to do,
but which cannot but prove to be OF
inestimable value in grading aad har-
monize the schools. Mr.. Barber may
have made mistakes in the settlement
of district disagreements that are con-
stantly coming before him-although
we have heard no complaint-but his
general conduct Of the Office, his
energy, his activity, his enthusiasm,
cer:alniy merit the highest praise.

Mr.. G. w. Morgan, station agent at
the Missouri Pacific, has accepted an
offer TO take charge Of the station at
Conway Springs and will be transfer
red as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be made. The REGISTER
makes this announcement with ex-
treme regret. a feeling which will be
shared by all who have met Mr.. Nor.
gan and particularly by the business
men who have come in contact with
him. Always courteous, prompt aud
obligiug, aud worker from Labor
willie, he has made friends, not only
for himself, but also for his road which
has done a bigger business at this
point since he had charge Of the sta
ton than ever before in its history.
Like all the rest of us, no Sever, he goes
where money call and Conway Springs
PAYS $50 or $40 month more salary
than lola; so while regretting to lose
him We are glad of his good luck. His
family will remain here for the present
and probably all winter.
We have recently had local illus
tration of the different ways in which
Democratic and Republican admins
trations do business. When Cleve-
land came in four years ago the Re-
publican pension board at this place
was Immediately fired, but it was
nearly two months before their Dem
ocratic successors were appointed.
During these two months there was
DO board here and great many sol
diers were put to great loss aud incon-
veuience by coming long distances
aad being obliged to return home
without an examination. The Re
publican administration did things
differently. 1t allowed the old
board to remain in until the new
board were appointed and qualified, 80
that there was no hiatus. The old
board held it's last meeting last week,
aud the new field its first this week.
That is the way Republicans do busi-
ness.
Union W. G. Bush has sold his
farm and dairy interests to Mr.. keGgh
and departed "Wednesday fo- LapOrte.
Ind :, " here he will reside in the future.
Mr., Bush has been a resident of this
vicinity for nine years, and during the
last two years he served as trustee for
Humboldt township and made capa-
BILE and accommodating officer. Dur
ing his two terms of office he has had
supervision of the roads in the town.
ship and his work proved him to be
the right man in the right place.
Within the past four years his name
was frequently mentioned in connec-
ton with the offices of county treasurer
and sheriff. Had he remained here it
is more than likely he would have
for treasurer in 1891. We hope that
he will prosper in his Indiana nome.
