the proceeding under which they were
appointed Will remain In force until

A CHUMP who signs himself TAX
payer iii the Kiowa Journal goes into
tit because Sheriff Mills was allowed
postage by the board of county COM
missiOners. We all understand that
Taxpayer is republican and that
he is endeavoring to manufacture some
republican campaign literature. Now
we will inform the fellow who is afraid
to be honest by hiding behind a very
inappropriate name, that it has been
tie practice of all the ex-sheriffs, and
particularly Mr.. Dobson, to use stamps
in their official correspondence pro-
yided by the county. When we get
Taxpayer located more definitely
we may go into this matter as to ex-
sheriffs more deeply. Now as to the
facts: TOnk Mills was allowed 50. SO
at the last meeting for postage. 1t is
known by nearly everybody, "Taxpay-
err excluded, that when tax warrants
are paid into the treasury through the
sheriff, the latter officer is by law COM
PEELED TO mail the payer q receipt. For
this the postage was allowed which no
sane man will contend was unreason-
able. But we will go little farther
and besides maintaining that it was
just and right, we maintain it to have
been lawful. The statute provides that
the county shall furnish its officers with
stationery ETC., y and we think a court
would hold that postage comes under
this statute if given test. If it is to
be termed theft, how guilty the ex-re-
publican officers must have been. Fate
has perhaps given us clue as to the
Identity of Taxpayer" and if our pres
ent impression be right we will take
pleasure in airing up his record here
after.

Elder Brubaker, a German Baptist,

Sunday at and p. N.
On Monday L. l.. Houser, merchant
of Crystal Springs, Harper county,
came into this valley and obtained a
search warrant to search the premises
occupied by Guy Pearl for some grocer

the 10th. The search proved success
full and resulted in finding the stamps
and about forty dollars worth of the
stolen property out of about seventy
FIVE stolen from his store. Mr.. Houser
exhibited great perseverance In ferret
ing out the perpetrators of this burgla-
ry. He and several friends worked five
or six days in tracking the goods to the
place of concealment. 1t was some
time before he could obtain a clue to
the real thieves and of their mode of
proceeding. Charles ChapIn, youth,
who has been laboring for Pearl and
who assisted him in the theft, was ar
rested on Monday and makes confes-
sion of participating in the crime and

F., make his escape. a rumor reached me
that Pearl has been captured, but am
uncertain. 1t will be remembered by
your readers that the store of l.. S.
Smith in Sharon was robbed about the
middle of May last. While the officers
were searching for Mr.. Houser's goods
they found some of Mr.. Smiths goods
secreted on the same premises, where
upon Mr.. Smith obtained search war
rant and made a thorough search of
the premises occupied by Pearl. Mr..
Smith found and identified about one
third of the goods that had been stolen
from him. Mr.. Smith supposed his
stolen goods had been taken to the
strip and had no suspicion of the real
thief.

WHAT BLAND SAYS.

Truly ex-Congressman Bland is be-
coming Disguised with democracy as
at present administered. Hehas been
laboring in his party for free silver
without ayailing anything and he is on
the verge of encouragement. Here is
what he said in a recent interview in
st. Louis
There is no use trying to dodge this
issue any longer. If the democratic
party does not declare for the free COIN
age of silver it will be wiped off the
map. The newspapers in the large
cities like st. Louis talk about the sill
yer movement dying out, but they are
not going to fool anybody. There may
be few democrats in the cities who
Will follow the administration, but
there are practically none in the coun-
try. This convention will show how
the democrats of Missouri stand. In
order to win in the next campaign we
haYe got to take bold stand for silver.
and we must be getting into line.''
do you think the next democratic
national convention will declare for
independent free coinage"
II do not know whether it will or
not, but if it don't the party will not
stand ghost of a show. The people
are not going to follow a platform any
more which is meaningless or intended
to deceive. Federal officeholders and
whisky gaugers may succeed in con-
trolling conventions, like they did in
Kentucky, but the people will not fol-
low them"
would not a declaration for free
coinage lose us the vote in the large
cities?"
ut would unquestionably lose votes
in some cities, but we would gain in
Others"
Your name has frequently been
mentioned as candidate for the presl.
dency; what can say about that?'
lit is all foolishness to talk about
candidates. There is no democratic
party. There is nothing but chaos and
disorder"

to be neglected. This place should bt
