At Anderson, Indiana, Bryan said: ‘ I tell you the only difference the Republican party will ever distinguish between a good trust and a bad trust: A good will give liberally to the campaign fund, and a stingy trust will be a bad one.” This is authoritative, of course. From the relations of the Democratic party to Croker’s ice trust, Bryan ought to know. The ice trust is all good to Bryan—the best he ever knew.

“Whether we want the Philippines or not, and whether we ought to have them or not, that we have got them is something that cannot be denied!” So says Richard Olney. The islands were thrust upon us by the fortunes of war, and even if they are burdensome we must hold them But now, as many times before, it seems as .if ample profit and reward will come to us from that which we took up solely as a bur, den and duty.

About Trustee Comer’s Salary

The mean fight being made in Union Township against Trustee B. D. Comer, for re-election, lihs now taken the form o£ lying about his salary. The amount he is stated to get ranges all the way $361 to S9OO per year. In point of fact, however, the township advisory boards now fix the trustees’ salaries. Mr. Comer’s was fixed at S3OO per year, and that he gets and not a penny more. And the time he has spent in overseeing gravel road work alone, would amount to all his salary, under the old per diem rule; let alone all the other township business. Thus Barney’s salary . record is all straight, and Union township has in him a very cheap as well as very efficient public official. And now. since his Democratic opponents persist in throwing stones at Mr. Comer, it may not be amiss to refer briefly to the official, record of the opposing democratic candidate for trustee, G. W. Casey. He is now the township assessor. The records at the court house show the following sums allowed in 1899, for assessing Union Tp. John Garriott, deputy who . really did the work $64 Sadie E. Casey, work on books 30 Millie F. Casey, “ “ “ 30 G. W. Casey, assessing Tp. .. 92 John F. Harriott, assessing .. 2 Another claim for sl6 by Sadie E.J.CaseyJ was cut by the Commissioners’ to 4 Anotherjby Mr. Casey for S2B cut to 0 Total allowed in 1899 $228 But in this present year, 1900, Mr. Casey, evidently because he i 6 a candidate, is willing to work much cheaper, and all bills presented for assessing Union Tp., are G. W. Casey, assessing $lO2 Sadie'E. Casey,Jwork on bks. 38 G.JW. Casey, assessing 8

Total SI 48 Thus in 1900 when Mr. Casey is a candidate he and his assistants assess the township and only ask $l4B for the work; while in 1899, when not a candidate he and his assistants a6k for $264 and are paid $228. With a candidate with that kind of a record, our Democratic friends in Union should not throw stones at Honest Barney Comer. It is matter of public iecord that it has cost more to assess Union Tp„ for its population and territory during the time Mr. Caseylhas been assessor than any township in Jasper county. To any honest observer if is easy to see who is a salary grabber.
