THE Cresset push is itching for spoils
very badly. AS soon as Geo. Nay was
defeated for commissioner last fall.
they wrote mp special bill, Increasing
the fees of the county printer several
times, making the printer elective this
fall, believing they would have no trou-
bic to slide in because the county, they
say, is normally republican, Mckinley
having carried it by about 80, and got
1t through republican legislature.
Their law seeks to cut the Index off of
half of our present contract, and they
are not even satisfied with this. They
must connive and concoct schemes
with worse than trlfling county attor.

doing on an unquestioned contract.

THE NEW YORK WORLD.
Thrice a-Neek Edition.

Time has demonstrated that the
thrice-a-week World stands alone in
its class. Other papers have initiated
its form but not its success. This is
because it tells all the news all the
time and tells 1t impartially, whether
that news be political or otherwise. 1t
is in fact almost daily at the price of
q weekly and you cannot afford to be
without it.
Republican and Democrat alike can
read the thrlce-a-week World with alb
solute confidence IN its truth.
In addition TO news, it publishes first
class serial stories and other features
suited to the homo and fireside.
The thrice aweek Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 90 per year
and this pays for lao papers. We cifeI
this unequalled newspaper and the
Index together one year for $3.50.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is $500.

cANTEEN RESTORATION.

The Presbyterian Journal, PhiIadel-
phia, presents the following excellent
discussion of the attempt to secure the
repeal of the anti-canteen law:
At the next session of congress
among the first bills to be PRESENTED
Will be one authorizing the restoration
OF the army canteen. From present in
dicatlons we also believe it will pass
and go to the president for his sigma
ture. Ever since the adjustment of
the army canteen there has been a most
persistent effort on the part of the gen.
eral press for its restoration. Whether
all these efforts are to be regarded as
IN the light of condolences is a Ques-
ton. That some were honest, we have
no doubt. The high character of the
journals interested will admit of no
other conclusion. Journals are no
more infaIlible than the men behind
them, and we can readily understand
how perfectly honest man can easily
be deceived. But some of the arguments
advanced on behalf of the canteen have
to US, at least a most suspicious look.
For instance, when the public IS told
that the liquor interests of the country
co-operated with the temperance advo-
Gates to destroy the canteen, we have
not the slightest doubt that some one
is lying, and lying for a purpose. The
liquor interests are never in favor of
closing saloons at any price or any time.
Saloons are their markets, and through
them they dispose of their goods. The
canteen IS simply the regimental sa-
loon, and just how it is going to adj
vance the cause of temperance we can
not understand. The presump-
ton that soldier must get drunk, we
believe, to be unjust. This is precisely
what the cdnteen does. It assumes that
the soldier will have his beer, and bet
ter for him that he obtain it IN camp
than out. Apart from all else there is
sentiment which ought to weigh with
thinking men. Should the government
go into the saloon business, and seek to
profit by selling to its own employees?
No corporation could it do, and hope to
survive year. 1t looks like a very
simple matter, and we bellve when re-
lieved of all personal interests that its
completely will readily disappear.

A QUESTION OF JUSTICE.

Ever since the Index secured the
county printing last spring, the Cresset
and the county attorney have been en-
gagged in small undermining tricks to
beat us out OF it. Their hoggishness
reached the eliminating point last
week when they gobbled up three fore
closure notices. The Index, however.
issued an extra edition Thursday and
printed them, and we are carrying the
notices now and we expect to receive
our compensation. The tactics of the
Cresset are not new. We recall an in
stance when we were doing the print
ing for 20 per cent of legal rates. The
Cresset, by standing in with republi-
can officer, secured a county publica-
ton, charged legal rates, and collected
twice for the same notice. The COM
missioners were controlled by repub-
lican majority.
1t is we'll understood that the notices
now In controversy are strictly county
printing. The commissioners arrang-
ed for the foreclosures on these lands.
and they will pay for the printing.
We have an explicit contract to do the
county printing, and we propose to do
1t IN spite of the selfshness of Griffin
and Lorton. The Cresset tries to ex-
cuse its dishonorable methods by saw
ing that the Index published probate
court notices when il, 1.-THE Cresset),
had the county printing. That is not a
case in point. The county commission
ers have nothing to do with that mat
ter. 1t was paid out of the permanent
state school fund on order of the coun-
ty superintendent. The Probate Judge
has the placing Of them and the COM
missioners have nothing whatever to
do with it. But these foreclosures are
strictly county business. The commits
sioners are plaintiff, they pay for the
printing and the comfy attorney is
simply their lawyer, and it is his duty
to do as directed by them.
During all the years the Cresset has
had the county printing, the Index has
in no way molested nor interfered with
them. We did not rib up Populist
and Democratic officials to keep work
away from it nor did we try to secure
any Of the county work for ourselves.
We recognized the authority of the
commissioners and abided with the re-
suits of their decision. How different
is the Cresset's policy.
But since the fight is on we propose
to see it finished. We will do the coun.
ty printing if we must issue an extra
paper every week. We are not here to
be bluffed, walked over, robbed and
cheated by two narrow minded, spite.

OKLAHOMA has "a second Daniel
come to Judgment in the person of a
local magistrate who lately handed
down decision decidedly unique IN
criminal Jurisprudence. 1t appears
that an Oklahoma man stole two hogs
and sold them for $3O.22 He was
caught red handed, as they say In the
police courts, and for awhile his case
really looked serious. However, the
judge before whom the hog stealer had
been taken for trial, came to the rescue
in manner that was at once beautiful
and ingenious. He decided that mas
much as the thief had been compelled
to dispose of the hogs II miles from the
scene of the theft he ought to be allow
ed at least ST a mile for the expenses of
transpor tation. This brought the
amount for which the lawbreaker was
held accountable down to S1S.22. In
Oklahoma no thief can be sent to the
penitentiary for stealing less than $50
or its equivalent; hence the man who
had taken and disposed of the hogs
which.did not>belong to him was res
cued from the shame and inconyeni-
ence of stripes and hard labor and after
serving three days in the county Jail
was set free.-Clark County Clipper.
