WHY is it that the republican party
of this county has never held a public
meeting during the campaign? Many
can remember the time when the re-
republican papers of the county could
not find language strong enough to
condemn this still hunt" method, vet
this fall the republican party has adopt
ed the secret plan of campaign After
giving it few moments thought, the
reason becomes clear;al of the foremost
thinkers, all the orators of ability of
the republican party are free silver
men and campaign speeches by such
men would not be acceptable to the
gang. E. Sample and A. L. Noble,
the best Informed men the republican
party has in this county, are free silver
men, and as such, cannot take the
stump for the party because or It's gold
standard policy. When a party stands
OH such an obnoxious platform as to
render it ashamed of it's principles,
demands which cannot be endorsed by
the best talent the party has, we have
the best of reasons for the party's de-
feat. This is the embarrassing situa
ton IN which the republican party is
found in Barber county this fall, They
went into convention like mice" and
are making their campaign like
mice

WHERE ARE THEY?

We wish to call the attention of the
voters of this county 10 matter which
at first sight may not appear to be of
great moment but after careful anal
iza'ion has deep significance. Look
over the records and history of this
county of the last five years and notice
where the republican eX- officers and ex-
candidates are today; see whether they
had common interest with the citi.
Zens of the county, or whether they
were here for Office aud soft snaps only.
For instance, j. w. Uobson, Otis Lor.
ton and D. G. Boyd who but year ago
were aspiring to the best positions
within the gift of the people, and fail.
ing in that, have flown to other re-
gions. Then go back a little farther
and we find such men as Holmes, Peck.
Cameron, Edwards, Streeter and other
republican eX-officers and ex-candi-
dates who now reside in other states.
Ii shows that the republican party is in
the business of trotting out men tor of
flee who are ready to ''quit the fats''
and who only want to absorb more of
the taxpayers money before leaving
This campaign is not an exception,
the same class of men are found on the
republican ticket this year. 1t is not
at all improbable that the majority of
the men on the republican ticket are
just taking the iniatOry step toward
leaving Barber county; they are men
situated very much like those we have
mentioned. Are we right when we
place them in that category? If so.
why elect them. If a MAJ must be
given lucrative office in order to re-
tain his citizenship, you had better
drop him at the polls.

THE Cresset hopes the day has gone"
when the common people VIII not repose
the utmost confidence in New York
and English mil!Ionaires, and when
they will not consent to be owned ruled
and driven by the foreign aristocracy.
We hope the day will soon arrive when
the majority of the American PEOPLE
will wake mp 20 the necessity of rum
ming this government in the interest of
the people instead of the capitalists.
When an eastern millionaire takes an
active part in the campaigns of the
West where the tree silver sentiment
is so strong. you may know that it is
done for purpose. When the English
capitalists demonetized silver in this
country, they began it by buying the
press. They bought the Us. congress
after they gobbled up the little fish.
They are now using their money to
kill the free silver movement and 9TH
er monetary reforms. Don't be fooled.
Vote against the gold bugs and save
yourself and family from the unrelent-
ing clutches ofthese conspirators.

The Cresset accounts for the enor-
nous amount of fees drawn from the
county by Dohson by saying he did so
much more-hnsiness than Mills; yet a
few weeks ago it was willing TO put the
sheriff's costs OF D0bson's administra-
ton against those of Mills adminlstra
ton when figuring what each sheriff
has cost the county. The fact in the
matter is that Mills has done more DUR
ing his term, IN business for which he
was paid by the county, than Dobson
did. Private business may have been
better, but there was more criminal
business IN this county during the past
two years than in either of Dobson' s.
administrations Where Dobson got
bis pile was IN collecting mileage. For
instance, he would go into certain
nelghborhoods and serve papers and
charge mileage from Medicine Lodge
to each individuals home when In fact.
he only travelled trifle more than once
the distance. Had Mills done the same
in the Adams and Bullock Bennington.
Burke, and Sparks cases, his fees from
the county could easily have amounted
70 three times what he did get. Mills
took only what he carmel while Dob
son took many times more than he
earned. Barber county should be as
fair and honest with Sheriff Mills as he
was with the taxpayers, by re-eIecting
him naxt Tuesday

DON'T FORGET SAM ADAMS

On election day the voters of this
township should lay party prejudice on
the shelf long enough to select man
for township trustee who is at least
able to fill the Office. To be candid and
truthful about the matter, everyone
knows that Sam Adams is competent
to fill the Office and we all know that
John Shannon Is not. This is a bust
ness matter of local Importance. Both
men are known by nearly every voter
in the township and men of all parties
have frequently said that Adams Is far
the best man for the place. Besides
this, it is plain that in the event of Ad-
ans election, patronage will be distrib-
uted. Sam Adams has no teams of his
own while Shannon has. Adams will
not keep all the work within the fami-
ly while it is reasonable to suppose
that Shannon VIII. Adams is an in
dustrious and energetic man and knows
how to do business. Shannon, through
no fault OF his, perhaps, is not man
of energy and has no experience in bus
mess and if elected would be compelled
to leave the business undone or employ
someone to do it. We don't make these
statements because we bear Mr.. Shan
non any Ill will in the least; we are sim
ply working for the interest of the
township. 1t is matter of business.
You can't afford to elect a makeshift
trustee. Elect Sam Adams; he is a
man who can discharge the duties of
the Office right and he has the honesty
to do it fearlessly and cOnsclentiously.

RIFLES GET HOT.
Soldiers Warned About Using the New
small Bore Guns.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The War De-
partment has been obliged to issue q
general order warning soldiers against
burning their hands in using the
new small-bore rife. The heat
generated by firing the smokeless powder
is so great as to require caution in hand
ling the rifle. While the old Springfield
did not become too hot to handle the
barrel, until about 80 rounds had been
fired, at the rate OF seven per minute, the
new rifle heats twice as fast and the in
structions are to handle 1t only by the
stock, handguard or metal piece in the
rear after firing Is rounds at the
rate OF 10 or more per minute.
Firing Mt the rate OF three
shots per minute, the barrel is not to be
handled after II or 20 rounds. Touching
only the wooden stock 200 rounds can be
fred rapidly without injury TO the gun
arm, other than chsrring the woodwork,
and this is as much ammunition as
soldier can carry.

One peculiar feature of the design is TINT
the fin starts at the water line forward and
runs aft IL feet, instead of having a metal
plato fin hung about midships, as is usual

much like the rig on some Of the English

modified later by placing short 2 foot

planked, with an outer skin of mahogany
and will be launched about June 1.
The I'm and rudder will be Of Tobin
