Printing Prices.

The Independent never had any
reason for an existence except to
gather up the fragments of county
loaves and fishes. 1t has never given
any excuse for its advent here except
to reduce the exorbitant prices paid
for county printing. On the plea of
economy and relief for taX-ridden cit
izens it advocated the election of
county commissioners who were thus
pledged to the same cause. That pa
per and its friends, the ommisSioners.
practice what they then preached only
when Republicans furnish the victims
to be sacrificed upon the altar of
economy and reform.
On behalf of the poor taxpayer
they waxed eloquent. They shed
tears of sympathy as big as bucket
which rushed in torrents over the
poor old cheeks of Chill Punery" as
they plead for .'relief'' for the down
trodden people. But the rays of the
bright sun of prosperity, which shines
over the Independent and few other
reformers, has dried their cheeks and
eVaporated the tears, leaving a salt
mine where the poor people may see
their '.relief'' with naked eyes from
which the scales have fallen. This is
the origin of the saying that the
professions of demagogueS should be
taken with d grain of'salt. The dear
people who feel relieved can now
gather apples of ashes and the salt of
experience in the dead sea of REFORM.

county printing at prices which we

derStand that representations were

high as it was four years ago. 1t was

ent wants So and Sc where we bid 50

made in good faith We should have

should have paid no more than our
figures
As to the character of our work we
have made a standing offer to pay the
expenses of a competent committee
to pass upon the question if it decide
our work and material is not superior
to that furnished by the other people.
The reform bosses realize the fact
that they are not going to control
things in this county forever and are
making all they can out of the people
they are shamming to relief.

The Secret Servlce has unearthed another band of counterfeiters and secured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person wruld never sus- pect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably the celebrated Hostetter Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stom- ach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this man nar the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of counterfeiters when buying.

As to the University.

There has been much comment lately concerning the now famous pillow fight" and the subsequent bolt of large number of the male students. We publish below com munication from Frank Doan, bro- ther to the Hen. John Doan. The letter speaks for itself:
 While it may be commendable, praiseworthy act on the part of the U. of A. faculty to conduct the affairs of the institution in such & manner as to justify twentythree of the older students leaving in a body, it must be admitted that the student body had good grounds for complaint and hon. estly considered themselves wronged or they would not have decamped.
 "Although trifing, rediculous matter was the origin of the trouble, the principle was one of utmost i'm pertarce, and when the students were emphatically inf ,rned that they had no rights and were not capable of judging right from wrong and must in all cases serve their sentences first, end stand their trials after the penalty was paid, they simply did as any free born American has right to do-they differed with the authorities, and as the authorities stood firm the student body in a quiet, gen 5lemanly man. ner withdrew and left them in poss- ession of the field.
 "If the students suffer, they have themselves to blame. 1T the faculty erred they will be aware of it in due course of time. But, as is most prob- able, should the blow fall hardest upon the institution, then students and faculty alike will see that the fault properly lies with botk bodies. and neither party will be cowardly enough to attempt to escape its share of the criticism that will justly follow.
 "We maintain that the student body was wronged and imposed upon y the faculty, and that the twenty three students who left the U. of A. in 8 body on April 3rd, 1899. was az orderly, as intelligent and as gentle manly body of students as ever entered or left it's doors, and we defy anyone to dispute it and state the facts. Respectively, FRANK Nj. DoAN."
