They Address a Large Crowd of Lin coln County's Voters at this Place. Hon. Will R. King, the Union candidate for governor, and Hon. J. R. Sovereign, of Arkansas, ad dressed a laige audience of Lincoln county people at the couit house in this place last Monday night, upon the political issues of the day. The meeting was advertised for 8 ey that he has saved to the taxpay o'clock, and by the time that the ers of the county during the past hour had arrived the court house ; two years, or more properly speak- was packed with people ready to ! listen to the addresses of the lion- 1 orauie genuemen wno tiatt ocen advertised to speak. The first speaker to address the meeting was Miss Carrie Sovereign the sister of Hon. J. R. Sovereign, who made a few introductory re marks by way of opening the exer cises of the evening. The chairman then introduced Hon. Will R. King, of Baker coun ty, Ae Union candidate for gover nor. Mr. King made an address of about one half hour's duration. He explained why he had not been here to meet Mr. Geer in a joint discussion, which was fot the very excellent reason that he bad re. , .1 1. 1. .. j 1 ' ceived no notice of such an oppor tunity either from Mr. Geer or from the republican state commit tee. Mr. King then discussed state issues for some time, scoring severely the useless and expensive commissions saddled upon the people of the state. Mr. King made an excellent impression upon the people. The chairman then introduced Hon. J. Sovereign, who made the principal address of the evening Mr. Sovereign came down from the May 20 1898. rostrum and made his address to the people direct from the floor. For one hour and forty-five minutes he spoke to the people and so interested was his audience that he held them in perfect attention. His address was logical, convincing and at times oratorical. He attacked the single gold standard on every proposition. A portion of his speech was direc ted to some of the allegorical illus trations made by Mr. Geer hi his speech at this place, and when he got through with them, the bushel basket and 500 bushels of potatoes, and the single dollar and forty dol lar's worth of debts paid stories wore an entirely different aspect. His speech was well received and he was frequently and heartily cheered. At the close of the meeting many people pressed forward to greet the distinguished speakers, and many congratulations were extended to them by republicans as well as pop ulists and democrats. The present outstanding indebt edness of the of the county, so far as any reliable estimate can be made, is, in round numbers, about $30,000. In an attempt to get this amount accurately aa inquiiy at the office of the county clerk was met with the statement that he could not tell accurately as the county trersurer had filed no semi annual statement tor the six months ending March 31st, and until he does so it will be Impossi ble to make an accurate statement upon this subject. But the .serai annual statement made on Septem ber 31st, 1897 showed an outstand ing warrant indebtedness of $25,000 iu round numbers. Since that time there has, according to the exhibit of county warrant?, been warrants diawn in the sum of $8i795. lnus making a total of $33,000 all told; then deduct the from this the amount ol $3,000 for warrants cancelled and it leaves an outstanding iudebtedMess of about $31,000 or $32,000 at the present time. We call the attention of the people to these facts at this time for the reason that Mr. Stearns in his candidacy for the judgeship is 1 making a great cry about the mon- ing, twenty-one months. A little investigation of this saving may not come amiss or be out of place at this time. Mr. Stearns was appointed coun ty judge by Governor Lord some time in the spring or summer of 1896, just what date we do not know, but he began the duties of that office on the isl of August of that year. The serai-annual state ment of the county made on the 30th day of September following his incumbency of that office showed outstanding county war rants aggregating the sum of $22,000, a part of which sum had been issued by the court presided over by Judge Stearns at the Aug ust term. Thus wt see that the indebtedness of the county has in creased during the 21 months of economical administration talked of, about $8,000, or the matter of over $4,000 per yea'. A further investigation of the records will show that during this time the county bad a tax levy of 15 mills last year and a levy of 16 mills for this year in the county fund 1 nus 11 win oe seen mat witn a greatly increased levy the expenses 1 has largely exceeded the income. Number 11. Another point of interest is where the money has been paid out. The county has been build ing no public buildings, no roads have been made, no bridges have been built, and about the only thing that seems to hve been done is to pay the running expenses of the county and pay the expenses of a lot of litigation on the part of the county. For all this the people have but little use or patience. The bp.ld ststmcrit thcit the county has been saved money is not at this time sufficient. Nor will a lot of tabulated figures given out of the iuside Docket of a candidate and and branded experts report, prove anything to the people. The pub lic records as made by the court are the only proofs that will have any weight. If the recent admin istration ot the county has been an economical one then the figures from the public records will prove it. APPROVE IT, YES. The senate finance committee de cides to offer to the war's prosecu tion $150,000,000, in greenbacks, which are paper inflation, pure and simple, and $42,000,000 or so in "seigniorage,' which is also paper inflation, pure and simple. This is a fine program tor the party of Jefferson and Jackson, Cleveland and Carlisle! Will the democrats of the country approve it? Oregon ian. Will the democrats of the coun try approve it? Yes, assurdly yes, but the republicans will not. The democrats of the country believe in the stability of the nation, and its power to issue monev that will be accepted everywhere at its face, whether it be "paper inflation" or g)ld or s'lver. The democrats are averse to saddling upon future gen eration an unecessary interest bear ing debt. They would pay as they go, and not ask those who are to come after this generation to bear the expense of whipping Spain. Future generations will have the pensioaers of the war of 1898 to look after, which will be sufficient burden for them to bear. A majority of the republicans, that is the rank and file of the par ty, are with the democrats on this proposition, but some of the lead ers are unfortunately in the same box with Cleveland and Carlisle sold body and soul to bond buyers hence they would load the coun try down with an interest-bearing debt of $500,000,000 on the pretext of paying the war debt. Times Mountaineer. Many old soldiers now feel the effects af the bard service they en dured during the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossville, York county, Penn. who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheuma tism. "I had a severeattack lately," he says, " and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did me so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to bis friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it in their home, not only for rheuma tism, but for lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns' for whice it is unequaled.
