The people of Roberts county are
now wise To the tact that the boxers
worked IA '.It,ce paur, un them
last fall when they promised reform
and lower taxes. They wanted Office
then, together with the salary that
attached to it, aud were willing to
promise anything. They have got
the Office and now 1.-THE people be
damned" They have not made any
OF their PROMISES good: they have
full control OF the county and had
their wOrl. cut out for them when
they were elected, but ABOUT all they
have done has been TO draw their
salary. In their arrogant egotism,
they seem to imagine, or at least
some of them do, that their mission
on earth is to persecute those who
do not agree with them. They have

days, they will run up against solid
brick wall of public sentiment with
such force as to jar their vertebrae
up through their collar and make
them think they have fallen from
the outer battlements of the sweet
subsequently.
