"There is lot of the living devil in Kip

Even with his love of journalistic effect

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
A Sweet Case.

The Fitchburg Judge Discharged Brake
man Lynch Charged with Stealing
Honey.
Geo. H. Lynch of North Walpole was
tried before Judge Gallagher at Fitchburg
Wednesday, charged with breaking and
entering a car in that city Nov. 6 and
stealing therefrom a quantity of honey.
Lynch denied he charge in toto, but wit
nesses were introduced to show that he
took the honey. His counsel raised the
point that the case was beyond the juris-
diction of the state, as the offence was
probably committed in Vermont. Lynch
was rear brakeman on the train which left
Bellows Falls at 7 o'clock on the night in
question, and the loss of the honey was
not discovered until the train reached
Fitchburg. Judge Gallagher discharged
Lynch.

IT is recorded in the New York

a Cheyenne Indian lately converted to
Christianity, has applied to the Okla
homa courts for divorce from his four
wives, alleging in his petition, as one of
the reasons, that his wives refuse to
give up tn cir Indian faith and join his
church. This is indeed convincing
proof of the efficacy of Christianity in
civilizing the untutored savage. No
sooner does he get religion than he be-
gins to pine for divorce.

Never before in the history of Bar
ton county has there been a political
canvas in which political excitement
has been at SO low an ebb. A,1nlE the
several causes for this the chief is that
large majority of the people realize
tkat times are hard and they are chiefly
interested just now in solving the bread
and butter question. They take less
interest in politics as the years go by,
for the reason that there is more good
money and a great deal more salisfac-
ton living peacably on the farm than
trying to gain a precarious livelihood
at the game of politics. Another of
the causes of the apathy existing in
political matters is the widespread dis
satisfaction among disappointed caudi-
dates for office. There is a feeling
among candidates and their friends
that this isn't their funeral" and tina
they haven't lost any political friends
and are not looking for anything they
haven't lost. The people are disposed
to saw wood and reflect upon the in
coRgruities Of politics, aud this is just
where the democratic party, with a
ticket of fairly representative men, can
rely upon victory perching upon it's
banner

Who the ..stlnkers,, Are.

Deacon Armstrong, with the natural
perverseness and dishonesty of effort
characteristic of his class of anarchistic
alarmists, attempts to make it appear
that our editorial reference to him in
dividually. and his particular cohorts,
was reflection upon all members of
the populist party. He knows, as well
as do all the readers of the DEMoc RAT,
that all we said in the article to which
he takes exceptions was applied to him
and his class alone, and not to the hon.
est, liberal minded and naturally patri-
cite members of the populist party of
to-day. The treacherous, bombastic,
two-faced editor of the Beacon is no
more representative populist than he
is a representative citizen of Great
Bend; he is too much of an anarchist,
too mentally overbalanced by egotism
and self-importance to be representa- :
tive of anything that is patriotic, manly
or gentlemanly. His effort to shift
from his own shoulders the odium of
the name of "stinker'' he has so justly
earned, and which we applied to him,
is but another evidence of his cowardly
methods in politics and his Unborn
devilishness of disposition.
He Dragged before the conventions
were held. that ''if we," (meaning the
populists) ''can't elect a man, we can
at least prevent the democrats from
doing 500 and his present course is ex-
actly in line with that dog-in the manger
assertion. If his influence amounts to
anything we have indeed overestimated
the good sense of Barton county people
and will fain be compelled to believe
that falsehood and treachery, misrepre-
sentation and cowardice as practice
by Deacon Armstrong and his select
coterie of counselors and advisors S
relished better than the pinin truth and
straightforward common sense of poll :
tics.
