THE RINGS METHODS.

This community is afflicted
with a ring of political bosses
whose methods have become re-
pulsive to all self-respecting peo-
pie. The purpose of the ring is
to deceive voters in order to con-
tinue their adherents of the ring
in public office; to harass and
make false representations about
those the ring cannot control and
make do its bidding. Its opera
tions and baneful influences ex-
tend to every nook and corner of
Benton county. It's false repre-
sentatio1s and deceptive methods
are as numerous as the rapidity
with which human inaginat on
can devise one Ealsehood to fol-
low another. Its methods eN-
tend to political adherents as
we'll as to opponents.
If the rings bosses imagine
that more voters can be inhu-
enced by assailing former party
affiliate, than can be had by let
ting him go in peace, they pounce
upon him with the vigor of a I'll
ger upon its prey. While every
man or business not plant tools
to its schemes, becomes the OBJ
jeet of lis attacks, slurs and i'll
situations that no gentleman
would pursue against neighbor.
The ring applies its favorite vo-
cation all year round, conveying
tattle from republican to republi-
can, in order that enmity betwee:'
neighbors may be kept continual
ly burning, creating strife that
may lead to assistance of the
bosses in future political cam
pligns.
Political and party afiliates
ale frequently found to be vic
Tins of its disgraceful attacks
aud deceptive practices. The
homes of political opponents
have been invaded with unholy
hands and their private papers
dragged forth into the streets and
public gaze, when the papers so
wrongfully secured contained
nothing out of the common run
Of private matter. But it suited
the occasion for a grand-stand
play of the bluff, brag aud de-
ception of the political bosses.
With the high leader OF the
ring on the stump aud i'll public
places, reiteratine the ftagmen-
tary untruths and deceptive inu-
endoes first published in the
rings organ, assisted by the
long-familiar sayings Of assist
ants, reiterated in the anonymous
booklet still. born without faith.

CONTEMPTIBLY MEAN.
Unknown Characters Demolished
Several Plate Glasses.

About the most contemptibly
mean and dirty spirit that could be
attributed to mortal beings was the
one that actuated the abnormal
cared creatures who deliberately en-
gagged themselves in the destructive
task of demolishing several fine
plate glass show windows on Pruet
street last night.
Two fine windows at Joseph s
seems to have been the first de-
moiished by the miserable mis-
creants, making their way from
there up North Pruet street and
smashing three for Newsom and one
for Darnall. creating damage to the
extent of something like $3.50. The
windows at Whitlock S restaurant
and at the candy kitchen were also
badly demolished but as the glasses
were small the damage does not
amount to muck in the way of a f.
nancial loss,
The mischief seems to have beea
accomplished at about eleven o'clock
as the noise Of the work was heard
by parties, tear that hour. There
are two or tnree persons who claim
to have seen the guilty freaks as
they disappeared in the darkness af
ter they had performed their das-
tardly work, but were unable to get
near enough to identify them. How
ever. there were three who partic-
ipated in the "Nation-ary" offense,
and were described to reporter as
having two legs each, and being
about the size OF men.
Judging from the general appear
ance of the damage done a hammer
or crow bar was evidently used.
An effort will be made to ascer-
tain the identity of the guilty char
acters and if successful lively pre-
ceedings will be instituted against
them. At present the officials haye
no clue.
