When the republicans meet

next Saturday Otis Lorton or
Lutte Axline will write a res
olution, we presume, endors-
ing the new graft. They
wrote the bill and, with the
assistance of a few TRUSTEES.
got it through the legislature,
and it is proper that they
should now proceed to make
their party endorse it whether
they want to or not. Otcourse
it means $4,000 or $4,000 ex.
ira expense each year for the
taxpayers to dig up, but they
can well afford to do that in
order to have the Cresset sat
isfied. Next year the people
can expect a special bill fol-
Barber county" providing fol-
a bounty to be paid for every
paper the Cresset prints
When these special CRAFTS get
started there is no telling
where they will end.

Stole Iaokhe,- One.

The Cresset and County Attorney Griffin took an
other county publication last week This is the fourth
they have taken in defiance of the county printing con-
tract The Index is also publishing the last with
the other three and expects receive what due it
under the contract
We do not believe that the people of this county
going to endorse the sneaking methods engaged
in by Lorton and Griffin. The majority of people, no
matter what their politics may be- believe in fairness
and job of this kind between two unprincipled men
will be resented some time. We could have some lit
tie respect for set Of men who would break
into house and try the stealing act for that would
give chance for defense but when it comes to
stealing in the manner that has been undertaken by
these fellows nobody have anything else but dis
gust for them.
Our opinion of them, expressed when they first be-
gan their cowardly sneaking trick, still stands; and
find that since they have undertaken this scheme
great many people of this county hold the same
opinion

County printing now costs
less than $1,000 per annum.
When theAxline-Lorton graft
goes into effect $4,000 won't
catch it. If they take advan-
tage of the steal it invites,
$4,000 won't foot the bill.
And a man who will charge
the county twice for the same
work to which he is not emit
tied at any price,or take work
to which he has no moral right
will take advantage of any
thing aud everything, right
OF wrong, reasonable or IN
reasonable. Those trips to
Topeka last winter were not
made for the fun fthe thing.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1901-09-18

The Cresset has not yet ex.
planned why it charged legal
rates twice for one piece of
work it did for the county
when it had no right to the
work at any price. The In.
dex was doing the county
printing for 20 per cent of lie.
gal rates, yet the Cresset
swiped a publication, put in
two separate bills for it and
received double pay. Is it any
wonder that a gang that re-
sorts to such dishonest tactics
will try to deprive others OF
what is due them!
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1901-09-18

While the Cresset was get
ting it's special graft through
the Legislature, it should have
legalized the method OF
charging twice for the same
notice, or If might have had
the law to provide that the
Cresset shall do the printing
whether elected or not. If il
need not recognize a contract
with the Commissioners, il
need not recognize the cleo
ton returns.

Since the assassination of
the President there is a dis.
position among some people
to couple socialism with an.
archy. There never was a
greater error committed. The
terms have a directly opposite
meaning. Anarchy seeks to
abolish all law while social.
ism wants better law. Soci
alism opposes murder and
violence of all kinds.

New York, N Y, Dec. 8.-The Right
Rev. N c. Matz, R. c., bishop of Den
ye1, arrived here on the French line
steamship LAquitaine today and i'm
mediately went to the st. Francis hos
pitai in Fifth street, where he passed
the night
He will start for Denver tomorroM.
Bishop Matz tonight talked of his
visit to Rome and his troubles with
Father John Cushing and Father Mich
ael Culkin
The bishop declared that while he
was in Rome Father Cushing one day
went to the hotel where the bishop
was staying and proceeded to gather a
mob of loungers about him 2and ex-
hcrted them to attack him Cushing
finally was arrested, said the bishop.
and taken to the police station. The
priest was placed in a cell, but made
such noise and acted so strangely
that. according to Bishop Matz. the
police thought the priest was insane
and transferred him to the luna tic asy-
lum. The bishop says that when he
heard what had become of Father
Gushing he went to the asylum and
procured the priests release
Father Cushing then disappeared
and the bishop could not tell what had
become of him. The bishop, in telling
Of his troubles with Father Cushing in
Denver, said that ten years ago the
priest applied to him for the charge
of a church. Bishop Matz said that as
he did not think the priest was edu-
Gated sufficiently to fill such a position,
the request was refused.
That man Cushing" said the bish-
op. did not know enough Latin to
recite his breviary.'
Not once while he was talking did
the bishop refer to the priest as father,
but always that man Cushing"

Bishop MaChebeuf's Dream
About to Be Realized.

The magnificent Catholic cathedral of
which the sainted Bishop Machebeuf
dreamed and for the construction of
which Bishop Nicholas Matz has toiled,
is to be erected at Logan and Colfax
avenues, the greater portion of the
necessary funds having been raised
through the energy of Father Michael
Callahan, pastor of the cathedral par
ish.
On Sunday at the Logan avenue
chapel Father Callahan announced
that 100000 was now on hand for the
erection of the new ca thedral.
Two years ago the cathedral parish
was 100000 in debt and the prospect
was sufficiently gloomy to dishearten
the most optimistic. The sale of the
old cathedral property at Fifteenth and
Stout to w. S. Stratton was the first
break in the clouds. Then the con-
struction of the new edifice, which it
was planned to make the most ornate
in the west, was seriously considered.

/ FATHER CULKIN'S OFFENSE.
Bishop Matz said that he also had
some trouble with another priest

until the situate grew so serious that
I the bishop transferred the priest to
another church.
The bishop said that Father Culkin
got into trouble with the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad in his new parish
and he was forced to suspend him.
| The bishop says that he made the same
offer to Culkin that he had made to
Gushing. but that the priest refused
and also went to Rome. As it is Gus
tomary, the bishop said. for prelates
of his position to visit Rome every ten
years Bishop Matz left Denver about
three months ago for Italy The bish-
op says that when he arrived the cases
of the two priests We're brought up and
gone over, both being decided in his
favor
Father Culkin the bishop says. then
accepted an offer of 1000 francs a year
and received charge of small mission
in Italy. Father Gushing, the bishop
declares, refused to submit and started
to drink heavily. which led up to his
attempt to induce a mob to attack the
bishop.
Bishop Matz says that everything he
has done in both cases has been fully
sustained by the Pope and that the
dispute now is ended so far as he is
concerned.
