SHARON, KANSAS, June 18th, 1891.
Ed INDEX: There is certain man in this
town writing items for the Cresset, and for the
edification of the few remaining sore-headed
republicans in the county. We won't mention
any name; some call him "Dr. Puff some
big Medicine" -some ''Reprocity;" but his
non de plume is X X. He puts his nose into
other peoples business, when he says two alli-
anee men traded horses. and the one gave the
difference in q note. secured by chattle mort
gage. The said chattle mortgage was not de-
manded, as stated, but was offered as security.
We were not aware that the time ever was
that note did not have TO be secured in some
way. This mortgage was not given through a
lack of confidence. but as a matter of bust
ness. We are willing to wager that this old
news monGer cannot borrow any amount of
money from any OF his good republican
friends without securing them well, and pay
ing SO per cent interest. Is We have known
.ome nj them TO charge. This same Old man
refers TO the good old daays of yore,' which
does not correspond with the remark he mat.cc
last fall. that alliance men were repudiators.

The Glorious Fourth.

The glorious Fourth of July will be

road.

at Lockard's school house, on the 9th
inst, for the purpose of putting the
American eagle upon his feet, prepare
tory to making grand spread.
The meeting organized by electing
Geo. w. Frisby chairman, and F. j.
Fash secretary. 1t was decided to hold
the celebration at the place, as above
stated, where there is beautiful grove
and an abundance of gooG water. The
following committees were appointed:
On programmed. J. Fash, W. c..
Matthews, Verne Gibbs.
On arrangements-A. ]. Trotter, l..
McElwain, Clay McGrath, William
Walker, j. p. Renfrew, F. j.. Fash,

To the patriotic public:-Permit me
to say that this celebration will not be
under the auspices of any organized 80
ciety, political or otherwise. 1t is our
intention to make it a place where all
the molly Pitchers" and Israel Put
mans in the country may assemble and
worship ONE GOD and adore ONE FLAG.
Americanism, pure and simple, Is good
enough for you and me; then let US
Americanize on that day. If we are so
ground in partisan politics as to make
US inclined to take advantage of such
occasions to parade it, let us place it in
the handbook from whence we take our
Sunday hats, and place the box In a
cool place and believe it will keep I'M
til our return home. Or If our patriot
ism has been kept deep down in the
cold damp cellar of neglect since the
last 4th, let us resurrect it and take it
with us, as it will enable us to frater-
nize, no matter how distant we may be
in our religious or political opinions.
All patriots are cordially invited to be
present and participate in the festivi-
ties of the occasion. BE sure to bring
the baskets well filed with the neces-
saries to replenish the ''festal board"
1t is impossible to complete the pro-
gramme in time for publication this
week. We will have 1t published next
week.
No pains will be spared to make it a
highly enjoyable occasion. Good speak
ers will be in attendance. Good music,
and singing of patriotic songs, Will be
important features. In the evening,
after the programme is concluded the
grounds will be surrendered to the
young folks for terpsicAorean jolifica-
tion.
The ntiembers of the committee on ar
rangements are requested to meet at
the grounds, at O'Clock a. m. on the
18th inst. F. j. FASH, Sec'y.

We learn from the article in last
weeks Cresset, entitled Prohibition
Enforcement" that shortly after the
present city authorities qualified, the
mayor and several members of the city
council went to Nick Roberts building
| on Main street, where Messrs. Doran &;
Roberts were supposed TO be conduct
join t." and notified them '.that they
must close up or they would be prosecut-
ed;" and that during the recent term
of court they furnished the county at
torney with evidence that these par
ties were running Joint. Are these
the parties who we're in favor of clos
ing the joints? They knew shortly af-
ter they qualified that these parties
were running joint, even notified
them to ''close up" and had evidence
of that fact during the last term of
court. The Cresset says they knew
these things, had this evidence and
were IN favor of closing the joints. And
yet, through they were clothed with all
the authority the city government
could give them; they made no move
| to close the joint until last Saturday,
and only then when some one, who. &C
cording to the Cresset, had lost some
money at cards in the building" had
made complaint and forced the dilatory
gentlemen to move. Mr.. DeGeer in
forms us 'that If these gentlemen had
any evidence during the last term of
court, they perhaps have it yet, as they
never furnished him with any, and he
would be obliged to them if they would
bring it around, even if it is in the
| breast of the editor of the Cresset"
Mr.. DeGeer also says ''he wishes the
Cresset would publish the evidence
furnished to him during court" Why
does the Cresset use the whining COM
planning tone in the first part of the ar
ticle referred to, unless it is in favor of
enforcing the law and wishes to cast
reproaches on the county attorney?
And why does the Cresset in the last
part of the article find fault with, and
cenSure DeGeer for doing his duty, and
call the prosecution persecution, I'M
less it is opposed to the enforcement of
the law? How do you stand Mr.. Cres-
! set? Show your cOlors. Are you try
ing to carry water on both shoulders?
Or are you growing like bear with a
sore head because one OF your
pet schemes was frustrated by the
county attorney doing his duty? There
was no alliance caucus last Tuesday
night. DeGeer issued warrants be-
cause the men had been turned loose
against his advice and consent, after
he had issued warrants for their arrest.
1t looks as if certain persons are put
ting stumbling blocks in his way, in Or
der to accuse him of non-pertormance
of duty. The people are not deceived.
