GETTING RANK.

The editor Of the Cresset and the re-
publican candidate for county printer,
who all along processes to be a very
nice fellow, who proclaims from the
housetOps to be welded TO the Golden
Rule and who each week deplores per
| sonal abuse" has announced through
MS paper that his opponent in the coun-
ty printer race is as low creature as
Czolgosz. He clips some anti Mckinley
editorials from the Index and figures
that the utterances induced the fiend to
do the dastardly deed of killing Pres
ident Mckinley, and hence we deserve
to be classed with the anarchists and
murderers. That IS the same as saying
that everybody who opposed President
McKiniey's election Is a murderer.
Shame on such SANDER! Has it come
to this that man dare not express his
political convictions without being de.
nounced as an anarchist and a murder
er by narrow-gauged blatherskite
whose only purpose in life is to defame
others and live at the public teat. The
Index has said many times when Presi.
dent cklnley was living that personal
ly ne was clean man, but we did not
then do not now endorse his political
doctrines. We said then and say now
That he was surrounded by some very
bad men, but our saying this does not
say that we stand for murder and law.

we believe we are just as loyal to the

no right to our political beliefs.
We remember that at the time the
Goebel-Taylor fight was on in Ken
lucky that theCresset said some mighty
mean things of Goebel but we never ac-
cused the editor of killing Goebel and
we did not say that he was responsible
for the killing.
The attack made On us Is inexcusable

Law County PRINTING will does now

to scrutIniZe the CresSet's record brief.
| ly The only time the Index received
the printing at legal rates was in 1896
and then it did not do the job work,
The Index has often done it for less
than 50 per cent and it has done it as
low, as 10 per cent. Our position has
always been that legal rates are little
high, for the present amount of work
| done. With the work which is added
under the new law, however, so per
cent will yield more than the present
full legal rate.
But let US look into the Cresset's tao
ties. When the Index was doing coun-
ty printing in 1898 for Is and 20 per cent.
the CTesset secured county publica-
ton which belonged to the Index, pub
lished it and charged legal rates, and
collected twice for the same work.
Last year it was receiving IS per cent
of legal rates, yet it charged $50 for
publishing proclamation for which
the Index received less than $50 in 1896
when the printing was being done at
full legal rates. We don't know how
they figured, but we presume they fig
ure bills something like they figure
special laws through the legislature
and the people pay the freight. Even
now while the Index is doing the work
for 20 per cent the Cresset is disturbing
the contract made by the Commission
soners. 1t is publishing county mat
ter and is seeking pay for it, even after
having been requested to leave hands
off by the Commissioners. The new
law also seeks to cut off The last half of
the present contract by making the Of
fee begin Ill January when heretofore
it always began in May. All this shows
selfish, unfair spirit, and is another
reason why we have a right to believe
that after the CresSet publishers are
fully installed they will take every dol
lar they can make out OF their new and
extraordinary pet measure.
1t is for the people of Barber county
to say by their votes this fall whether
Or not this scheme shall be endorsed.
If they endorse this one the next legls-
lature will provide more for them. Peo-
pie who want to know why their taxes
are increasing need only refer to the
doings of the last legislature. The
new laws are full Of special measures
for the enrichment of special individu-
ais. The people of this county have an
opportunity to rebuke such tactics this
fall. If they do not Iebuke it they
must endorse it.
She candidate on the Independent
ticket believes this printer law to be a
bad one and favors it's repeal. Howey.
er, II the people of Barber county want
1t and are willing to pay for 1T, their
will be done.

The Cresset wants to know
why we accepted legal rates
in 1895 and oppose the new
county printer law and it's
rates. That's easy. We would
rather have the work under

than to have it under the old
law at 100 per cent, provided
the officers would not do as

is necessary to state what the present

cents per town lot. For other matter.
one dollar per square of $50 ems for
first publication and so cents per

publication. Under the new law the
price for land tracts and town lots re-.
mains the same, but for first insertion
matter the price is reduced % cents and
for subsequent insertions it is reduced
ten cents. IF THERE WERE NO EXTRA

small reduction of the present legal
