Abusiveness.

Our repu blican friends object to the
abuse heaped upon the Supreme
Court by the Populists. They should
remember that the Supreme Court is
about the only body left that is re-
publican. The President, Cabinet,
Congress, Governor, state officers and
legislature have all been lost to the
republicans, so that the supreme court
must DO the scape goat for the entire
party. by the way, do the republ-
cans spare Judge Allen or for that
matter any Of their political oppon-
ents, There are three branches Of
state government, the executive, leg
lslative and judicial. Each having
its special sphere Of work, each en-
titled to equal respect. Have the re-
publicans spared the executive branch
of the state government? On the con-
trary every move has been criticized,
every appointment rldiculed, every
utterance ieered at. The outside
world is informed that the Governor
OF tho great state Of Kansas is an
anarchist, that he is q leader Of lingo
reform, that he is in profound ignor-
ance of the wants Of the state and the
people, that the executive is a hood

who were surprised thems elves to re.
ceive it. Whether this plan is the
right one or not, Mr.. Heskett carried
out his instructions and has made a
record that is thoroughly consistent
beyond reprOach.
As a result Of this logged persist
ence in economy the board was en-
abled the first year to scale the tax
levy for current expenses down to six
and three-tenth mills, and this year
down to five and One-half mills, the
lowest it has been since the county
was in its infancy.
In addition to this he has been in
strCmental in restoring to the county
slOSO, from one ex-Official who had held
it for years and used it in his business
and 500 from another
And again in the matter of bridge
building he has saved the county d
great deal of money. Take the new
iren bridge across the Chikaskia
sOu6h of ArgOnia. The old wooden
bridge there cost upwards of $1,000
and the new iron bridge was put in
for $1,000, and it will be observed that
this was one year before Mr.. Stewart
was elected. And other instances of
the same import might be cited. Mr..
Ii. has been in every township in his
district every year of his term and
keeps close watch on the affairs of
his district. There have been apprO-
priatiOnS for nine out of eleven of his
townships.
Taxpayers and citizens, do you real
ize what valuable man you have on
the board Of commissioners? Are
you going to allow him to be defeated
by t"Ose on whose toes he has trod
in his straightforward, unyielding
course. Rally to his support and re-
elect him if you want this retrench-
ment continued. All the public
abuses cannot be weeded out in one
term, and you know how rapidly the
weeds. grow again when they are left
undiSturbed. Jim HeSkett will make
a still better commissioner the com.
ing three years. If you are taxpay-
er, whatever your politics may be,
support Jim Heskett ifyou want hon
est, careful, competent conduct of
the cOunty'S business.

The report for 1893 will be publish
ed in January and will show still
further reduction.
Now, citizens and taxpayers, COM
pare the two POpuliSt years with the
Republican years. Take 1887 and
1888 and average them, and you have
an average expenditure Of $jl, $3.50.
while the average of 1891 and 1892 is
only SAC, 37493, a difference in favor
of the taxpayers Of s., 2S7.5O per year.
The same computation with the
years 1889 and 1890 shows a saving of
S5,432.3S.
Anyone can take the clerks annual
reports and see these figures and YER
ify the statements herein made.
Some one may dispute that the
PopulistS should have the credit of
this scaling down of expenditures,
inasmuch as we have but one member
Of the board, but it will not be Sc
riously cOntended for. The popular
agitation for retrenchment and the
presence of a firm, unyielding, ever
attentive representative of the peO-
pie on the Board undoubtedly had
the effect of influencing this reduc-
tion, We refer to
JAMES r. HESKETT.
the man, to whom, more than to any
one else, is due the credit of this saving
to the people. He has stood like a
stone wall, battling schemes, refusing
brides and protecting the cOunty's
interests from all assaults.
How have these savings been ac-
complished? We would say by a
scaling down of all extravagances and
unjust bills, wherever they were
found.
The probate judge rightly suffers a
loss of $500 per year, which the law says
the board ''may" allow if it thinks
wise. The law says the same with
reference to the county clerks assist
ant, who receives 81 200 per year, and
Mr.. Heskett has sought repeatedly to
cut this down, but has been unable
to get second on the board. The
county surveyors bills have been
scaled and the scaling sustained in
supreme court, amounting to 500 In
one item, and no one will dispute
that Mr., Heskett was largely respon.
sible for this. The fact is, Mr.. Hes.
kett wears the name of a "chroniC
kicker" among the county'S creditors
and it is fer the sake of the people.
