SAY what you will about
r. D. Gaddie, his services as
county clerk during the past
two years have cost the coun-
ty less than any clerk the
county has had during the
past ten years at least. He
is an honest, faithful, compe-
tent officer, and should be re-
elected.

THE necessity for Populists

The necessity for Populists
and everybody who is oppos-
ed to the financial policy adj
vocated by the republican
party, to stand together in
the local conflict in Barber
county this year can not be
urged too strong. Once give
them control of county affairs
and it will be years upon
years until the friends of f.
nancial reform will have an
inning. Stand by the friends
of the farmer and the laborer
by voting the Populist ticket.

IGNORANT AND MALICIOUS.

Whitelaw Reid, the responsible head
of the New York Tribune, founded by
Horace Greeley" and alleged to have
been 'foundered" by his successor. is
down in Phoenix, Arizona, lodging
catarrh and asthma. and his young
men are running the old craft reckless
ly by rule of two, roast the Democrats
and praise the Republicans. 1t can
only be ignorance or partisan malice
that will account for the very remark
able assertion of the Tribune that the
order of Postmaster General Gary, al
lowing fourth-class postmasters to re-
main undisturbed for a term OF four
years, is "a new departure" "One OF
the first acts of the Mckinley admins
tration,' says this unveracious paper.
bearing upon the civil service, al
though briefly recorded in an obscure
news item, is really one of the most
important and significant ever taken"
1t then refers to the action of the pre-
Ceding administration in extending
the civil list, but the only considerable
class left out were the fourth-class
postmasters." These were left to the
spokesman. Mr.. Cleveland did not VEN
ture to attempt to restrain his success
or from making these offices spoils of
victory But his successor is a truer
reformer than was the Consecrated
One" THE first order of the new post
master general retains postmasters
now in Office, whether Democrats or
Republicans, in good faith until the
end of the four years term for which
they were appointed" And it calls
this order "a striking new departure"
This is a mixed case of malice and
Ignorance. The ignorance shows in the
concluding assertion about the reten-
ton of these postmasters until the end
of the four years term for which they
were appointed" No fourth-class post
master ever was or is now appointed
for a term of four or any number OF
years. He is a tenant at will, remov-
able at any time at the pleasure of the
postmaster general, or, rather, of his
fourth assistant. It's malice is shown
in the assertion that this is new de-
parture, and that Mr.. Cleveland did
not venture to restrain his successor in
