SOMETHING NEW.

The spectacle Of different can
didates for Governor being on
the most friendly terms Is some-
thing new in this State, but 1t Is
q sight both refreshing and pleas
ant to the people who have to
make q choice between them.
The three candidates for Cover
nor rode into Evening Shade last
week in tho same vehicle, had
dinner at tho same table, passed
their spare time in friendly and
pleasant conversation together,
and IN every other way acted
worthy Of gentlemen who aspire
TO become the chief executive Of
the State. Then, in their ad-
dressess before the public these
candidates discuss issues without
any unpleasant references to
each other. There is no abuse
or villifIcation in their speeches,
and tho campaign is conducted
upon q high plane. All this ie
entirely different from the order
that has prevailed In campaigns
In this State In recent years, and
The people have just reason to be-
proud OF the change.

The Record this week an

Sheriff and Collector of Sharp

at their hands. He is a good
man, and trustworthy in every
particular. During the two years
he held the Office Of Sheriff and
Collector he was diIigent in the
discharge Of it's duties, faithful to
his constituents and every trust
and confidence reposed in him.
The people know Harmon
Matheny; know that he is honest
and honorable, and il they should
again honor him with office, his
whole energy and ambition will
be directed toward making a
capable and satisfactory official.
He has every reason to be proud
Of the record made while in Office
and can point to, it with every
confidence that nothing will be
found in it that would reflect up
on him as an official or serve as
a reason why he should not be
returned to public office. He has
a host Of friends over the county
who will be pleased at his en-
trance into the race, and who will
work for his success.

creased many millions Of dollars
by the recent issue of interest
bearing bonds by the government
for the relief OF the stringency in
money. The issuing of bonds
during the panic under the
Cleveland administration called
forth vigorous denunciations of
the Democratic party from Re-
publican papers everywhere, but
these same papers are now
characterizing the Roosevelt
issue of bonds only as a timely
and wise method of saving the
country from a condition for
which the Republican administra-
ton is in no way resp onsible.
Of course. The Record remarked
some time ago that the Re-
publican administration is re-
sponsible for good times only; the
sunshine and rain which pro-
duce good crops and all other
favorable conditions which make
the country prosperous, but that
when the country is not pros
porous, and times are close, the
Republican administration is not
connected with the causes that
brought about such condition.
How this happens we do not
pretend to say, but it can be
proved by every Republican
journal in the United States right
now.

CHANGE IN FOREIGN
POSTAGE RATE NEXT MONTH

Beginning October 1st, the new for
eign postal rate adopted at the meet
ing OF the universal postal convention
In Rome In April, will become effect
i've. The new rate makes the charge
for foreign postage cents for the
first half ounce. and cents for each
additional half ounce. instead Of 10
cents for each ounce. as the present
rate prescribes. This applies to all
mail sent to foreign countries ex-
cept Canada, Mexico and Cuba. To
these countries the domestic rate OF
2 cents for each half ounce still holds.
The change of the postal rate from
5 to 3 cents for each additional ounce
after the first is the only important
change adopted by the last universal
postal convention. All civilized coun-
tries were represented, each having
one vote. At present the postal rate
is governed by the Washington con-
vention Of eight years ago.

TO ESTABLISH ALIBI

Denver, Sept. 14.-At a meeting OF
the state board Of pardons yesterday

don was postponed for one month.
This was done at the request of Boles
through his attorneys. They stated

establish for him a complete alibi for
the murder OF Harold Fridborn. Boles
is serving life sentence in the peni-
tentiary for this murder.
At thermeetlng of the board the faith
er of young Fridborn appeared to pro-
test against the pardon. When he
learned that the case was to be post
poned and that Boles would try to o.
tablish an alibi. he notified the board
that his daughter, Florence Fridborn,
who Boles was accused of assaulttug,
would be present at the next meeting
and relate the circumstances attend
ant upon her Identification Of Boles.
The board commutsd the sentence
