THE differences between HARRY La

The difference between Harry Lam
dis and Tom McNeal is this: Harry
has been several times honored by the
people of his county and district by an
election to a position of public trust,
while Tom tried to be elected and fail
ed, after which he ibid out" to Topeka
to accept an appointive Office. A man
like Tom McNeal who has signally fail
ed to become public officer by the ex-
pressed Will of the people, after repeat
Ell efforts, and finally succeeds in OBJ
tanning an office over which the people
have no control, is poor specimen to
call another man an Office seeker. If
there ever was an Office seeker under
the celestial canopy. Tom McNeal is

Tom MCNEAL airs himself to great
extent in last weeks Cresset. He says
he was not the author of the dirty lit
tie squib of a few weeks ago which we
mentioned and commented upon to
some length III our issue of the 18th.
Well, we can't say that he did but so
long as he allows his name attached to
the article by such fellow as Lutte
Axline who claims he can read Ton
McNeal like a book, lie must not COM
plain when we defend the men who
have helped to build up Barber county
and who are staying with her in spite
of adversely. Not stopping to COM
ment on all his hog wash, we will brief
ly notice his closing paragraph which is
as follows:
There is but one charge IN the INDEX
editorial for which have any care, and
that is the insinuation that / left my
debts unprovided for when left Medi-
cine Lodge; in other words that [
jumped my bills. Whoever wrote the
editorial in question, knew when he
made that statement that is was lie
and must be conscious that he is con-
temptible whelp.
All we have to say in answer to this
is that the INDEX holds an account of
1888 against him. Part of the ac-
count is held against a law firm of
which 7. A. McNeal was a member,
and it is just debt and should be paid.
Part of it IS against him as an individ-
ual and ought to have been paid long
ago. Of course we never expected that
II would be paid and would have never
made the "inSinuation" had it not be-
come necessary to show what kind of
man it is that was shooting Yomit in
this direction. Men cal may be a nice
man but he is mighty mean politician.
He may have friends in this county too
numerous to count but somehow they
weren't In evidence when he tried to be
county attorney. AS for our being a
contemplate whelp," we will leave
the public to judge who is the greater
whelp after fair and impartial inyes-
tigation. Our account is open to in
spection and we defy rom McNeal to
produce receipt or receipts showing
that he IS not indebted to this office. The
sow will return to the mire and the
dog to the vomlt, etc.

The silver using nations
of the world are making
money off of our foolish gold
standard system. The peo-
pie of the silver using coun-
tries bring their goods to this
country and sell in our gold
market and invest the pro-
ceeds in silver bullion at it's
market price in this country,
which is between Sc and 60
cents. That is to say, they
can buy 100 cents of silver
with Sc or 60 cents of gold.
They take their bullion to
their native country, have it
coined and it is now worth as
much to them as our gold.
They purchase another stock
of goods, bring it to this
country and again OPPOSE of
it under our gold standard
arrangement and purchase
our silver bullion with the
proceeds. This operation
they repeat as often as posi-
BILE, and this country gets the
worst of the deal. The sill.
yer country buys our bullion
at its market value which is
deprecated over so per cent
by reason of demonstration
and sells her products in oul
gold market. She catches us
