SINCE the prospects for a winning
campaign this fall have been getting
unusually encouraging there have been
numerous candidates mentioned for
the various offices. This IS very
hopeful indication in itself. A month
ago nobody cared to talk about cvndi-
dates because it was believed that Pop
ulists would continue to wrangle
among themselves as they have during
the past two years and thus insure a
republican victory, but they look at it
in a much different light now, and
everything points toward an aggressive
and harmonious campaign. This is
as 1t should be. Saying nothing OF the
necessity of strong organization for
1900, our local affairs were never in a
more threatening condition and only
the wisest as well as the most economi-
cal administration Will avert vastly in
creased burdens on the taxpayers
The people of Barber county realize
this fact and that is one of the
reasons why they seem to be more de-
termined now than they usually have
been. 1t is question of dollars and
cents

STEALING OUR OTHER GEORGE.

Now that the English are beginning
to show enthusiasm over Washington
we shall, perhaps, be drawn a little
closer to him. One English writer
goes so far as to say that Washington
was practically an Englishman. But
that is going too far. Why, the Amer
lean Washingtons left England as tar
back as 1857; so they had been estab-
lIshed in the colonies three quarters of
century before George Washington
was born. Moreover, George Washing
ton himself never saw England. No,
thank you; we may not appreciate our
hero as he deserves, but we want him
all TO ourselves. OF course, if England
has an ambition to erect a monument
To Washington, that is their own affair.
His thoughtful, placid face would lend
an added dignity to Westminster Alb
hey. Mr.. Gladstone Is said to have de-
clared that Washington was perhaps
the most perfect figure in history.
That explains our feeling about him,
doesn't il? How we should hate to
hear Lincoln called perfect!-Colier's

HOW MEN AND rHlnos DO ORANGE.

Since Gen. 10. Hudson has resumed
editorial control of the Topeka Capital
he is more enthusiastic advocate of
the single gold standard than even the
Mulyanes, and that is putting 1t pretty
strong. There is nothing peculiar IN
that of itself because Hudson is . re-
publican politician. but we pause to re-.
mark that after all there is vast diff
ference between Editor Hudson and
the Topeka Capital of today and Editor
Hudson and the Topeka Capital of eight
or nine years ago. Many of his editor
iais on finance then were good Populist
matter and just to show how . few
years can reverse man and paper
we quote the following short para
graphs which appeared i'll the Capital
in years gone by. The question natur-
ally arises, was Hudson right then or is
he right now? or was free silver and
an expansion of the paper currency
right IN 1890, and is gold m0nometal.

right in 1899? or Is Gen. Hudson. after
all is done and said, merely . servile
tool of the money power, demagogue
with no fixed opinions and convic-
tions, and only exists IN the world to
do the bidding of those who hold the
money bags? We leave the reader to
draw his own conclusions:

but important to the West. It Is this:
Stop your windy speeches about the

for the free coinage of silver and give

lions more of paper currency.
