Washington (SpeciaD The orders
given to General Chaffee to withdraw
all troops from Pekin except the two

will remain as a legation guard indicate
that this government adheres con-

The announcement that the Signal

he will succeed General Macarthur, is
plain proof that this government con-

this campaign on the merits

Kinley. The Cresset's half
column of stuff along that
line is intended to draw at
tention from the real issue
and arouse prejudice in the
minds of the people. We de-
plore the death of the Presi.
dent and condemn the assas-
sin. Personally, so far as we
know, he was a clean man,
but we do not now and never
did endorse the political doc

We have always opposed his

fact alone is sufficient cause

ly the populist- OF Barber county have revers-
ed their sentiments on this matter, so that it
only applies where the aforesaid official hap
pens to he "A popIlist.-Cresset.
1t is not the ELECTION by the people"
that they are opposing. They are op-
posing a special law for Barber county
alone which more than doubles the
cost OF county printing and gives the
county printer an absolute monopoly of
all the stationery and blank books that
go into the court house. They also op-
pose special election for the election
of single officer which means an add.
tional cost of about $500 on the taypay-
ers. The new law means from $4,000
to $4,000 additional expense on the
county each year. That's why all
reasonable and intelligent citizens are
against it.

A CHANCE FOR GRATING.

1t has frequently been pointed out
that the new county printing law is full
of gaps that give the county printer an
opportunity to stuff his bills and make
his charges almost without limit. Since

and worked it through the legislature
it is fair to say that he intends to take
advantage Of 1t. We have even more
proof than that. Here are some inter
esting figures.
