9. S. HEsKETT has worked
his way through life on his
own responsibility since he
was a mere boy. He gradual
ed from a commercial college
about four years ago and
served as deputy treasurer of
Barber county since that
time until last February when
he resigned that position and
returned to his fathers farm.
While he is a man of very
limited means he always APP
pears respectfully and we
have no hesitancy in saying
that there is no man who is
acquainted with him that
can say a word against him.
Should he be elected register
of deeds this fall, the people
of Barber county will have
an officer of whom they
would never have cause to
feel ashamed and for whom
no apologies would need
to be made.

JUDGE TULLEY sizes up the injunc-
ton machine as it operates on the coal
miners, In the following language:
ITO use the writ of injunction to dis
perse or prevent an unlawful assem-.
blage, or to patrol a public highway
with armed deputy marshals, is usur.
patton of power by the courts. When
labor disputes endaDger the public
peace or render the destruction of prop
erty imminent, no good citizen can OBJ
Ject to the executive branch of the gov.
eminent using its iron hand to pre-
vent either, but no amount of legal
quibbling will satisfy the people that
the writs of Injunction of the federal
courts in the coal strike have not been
issued and used for the purposes and
object above stated. The courts In so
using the writ are usurping powers and
functions devolyed by both federal and
state constitutions upon the executive
branch of the respective governments.
Such use of the writ of injunction by
the courts is judicial tyranny, which
endangers not only the right of trial by
jury but all the rights and liberties Of
Abe citizens"

The Populist ticket is ar
exceptionally strong one, and
no man has ever heard us init
mate that it is weak. Because
we do not devote space to ev

predicts defeat for the Popu.

take any stock in such talk
These predictions are annual

streets until they survive the

THE IMPORTANCE OF UNITY.

Because the campaign, this fall, is
local in its nature il no reason why
Populists should be, less aggressive or
Indifferent. The party was instituted
in 1890 and, speaking for the state of
Kansas in general and Barber county
in particular, it has accomplished
much. Do you want to surrender what
has been gained or blight the prospects
for the future? We feel safe in saying
that there is not a single Populist In
the county who does not desire that our
principles shall succeed, but there are
some who think that because national
and state candidates are not up for
consideration it is of little consequence
what the result in the county is this
fall. This is great mistake. The To-
| cal campaign bears the same relation
to the state and national campaign as
the foundation does to the building. To
succeed abroad we must keep up our
| organization at home; we must hold
fast to the prestige we have already
gained. The Peoples party has never
been ill better shape IN Barber county
than it is this year. 1t goes before the
people as friend to every taxpayer.
every farmer, every laborer and every
business man in the county. 1t has
lifted warrants to par value and,
through the wisdom and honesty of
Popul:st officers can proudly boast OF
having elevated the county to a cash
basis. This is wonderful achievement
in itself, and one that cOmmends itself
to all men. During the time that this
was done the whole country was para.
lyZed by paDics, hard times, business
failures and most all the calamities
known To the business world, yet the
county, financially speaking, is in far
better condition than it was when the
Populists first came into power. These
are conceded to be facts by all well in.
formed men and the records themselves
establish their correctness. Then why
should any Populist be discouraged?
The only thing that could defeat the
Populist ticket this year is lack of en-
ergy on the part of Populists themseIv-
es. If the party unites itself, laying
aside all petty local jealousy If any ex-
lists, OR majorlties will be greater this
fall they have been for five years. A
principle IS at stake, your homes are
at stake and, in view of the recent
usurpation on the party of federal Of
licers, your own personal liberty is at
stake. Present solid, unbroken front
whether it be in local. state or a nation
al campaign.

The worst enemies the people have
today are the rich. Capital IS becoming
more voracious each year and it will
not be long until the rich man will be
absolute master on earth. But why
mention it? AS soon as a paper or a
person criticises the rich for depressing
the poor, all the big papers and all the
big fools raise howl of anarchy and a
majority of the people are carried off
ON wave of prejudice. But, after all.
perhaps it is best to have patience
The people may get their eyes oren
some time.

THE New York Evening Post, one oi
the rankest republican and gold stand
ard papers published, comedies the fact
that the principal cause of the cent
rise in the price of silver is the action
OF the Bank of England deciding to
hold ne-fifth of its reserve in that met
al. If this be true, what would be the
result II all the powers should hold half
their reserve in silver? Then if the
minis all be opened to the free coinage

higher and strong this morning and for the
first half hour the market felt disposed to
hold it's own. Lack of orders outside, how
ever, began to weaken and by unloading in a
small way caused the market to decline and
by ulid-session it was dull and featureless
and so continued UP to nearly noon. First
cables were encouraging. New York reported
that foreigners were again free buyers today
and that $4,000 bu were taken yesterday for
export. This shows that the foreigners ap-
petite for wheat Is still strong showing no
sign of distress notwithstanding it's abnormal
consumption during the past three months.
