BARBER COUNTY INDEX.
BY E. P. CARUTHERS & W. G. MUSGROVE.
t abserlptionFric SI . 6 0 A Tsar.
WEDNESDAY". JAN. 29, 1890.
Sumner county bas 1,400 members of
the alliance.
A live stock rate of 7 cents per 100
between Kansas City and St. Louis bas
been inaugurated.
George It. Peck says he does not want
to be senator yet awhile. He is occu
pying a position that pays him better.
He thinks that Mr. Ingalls will be re
turned without practical opposition.
If the Kansas farmer raised three
times as much corn last season as he
did in any season before, and if he is
getting 13 cents a bushel for it, is he
not getting what would have been 39
cents to him in 18S8?
All talk about Judge George D. Or
ner for congressman in the seventh dis
trict is flat. He was an early Oklaho
ma boomer, and is a leading light at
Guthrie. That may not keep him from
being a candidate, however.
The Santa Fe railroad thinks of put
ting on a fast through train from Chi
cago to San Francisco. The speed at
tained by the Nellie Bly special last
week, showed that an average rate of
43 miles, including stoppages, could be
made.
State Treasurer Hamilton will resign
and devote his entire time to bis new
position, live stock agent of the Santa
Fe. The governor will fill the vacancy
by appointment; but says that he will
not appoint anyone who desires to be a
candidate for the nomination this year
I'arson A. 13. Campbell wants the job
and so does Henry Booth; but they
want the earth.
We are in favor of having the term of
congressmen llxed at two years, and
that ot senators fixed at four years, and
neither to be eligible to re-election. It
would prevent poor men like Peters
from being forced into congress against
his will ; and it would prevent Ingalls
from living in Washington eighteen
years, while pretending to be a citizen
of Kansas. It would give the "outs" a
chance.
Everything points to the selection of
New York as the site for the World's
Fair, in 1892. Chicago, St. .Louis and
Washington were all making fair pro
gress until the announcement was made
that the New York legislature would
authorize the city of New York to ex
pend fifteen millions of dollars on the
fair, and then the other places practi
cally dropped out. New York will not
ask any government aid.
The winter wheat is in excellent con
dition throughout Kansas. Heavy rains
during the fall, and continued snows
and freezing in January have put the
ground in perfect condition, and kept
the wheat from making rank growth.
Secretary Mohler, of the agricultural
department, estimates that the acreage
Is 20 per cent, greater than last year,
while the condition of the crop is far
better. He thinks that, barring acci
dents, the wheat crop of 1890, in Kan
sas, will be forty-five million bushels.
It is to be hoped that it will be worth
more than 50 cents ner bushel.
The understanding now is that Hon.
T. A. McNeal, of this city, will be a
candidate before the republican con
gressional nominating convention, to
succeed Judge Peters. And why should
he not ? He is a consistent republi
can i yoting for everything and every
bHis party tells him to vote for ; he
i; loblea legislator as Judge Peters
vji "'hen he was first elected ; he has
a guo$ acquaintance oyer the district,
and he is regarded by every one as an
honest man. He is not an old soldier;
but it was not his fault, but the fault
of nature, that he was born too late.
The Grand Army men, of Georgia,
have withdrawn from an encampment
that admitted negroes. Senator Ingalls
probably did not know this when be
made his wild and woolly speech last
week. In Louisiana the G. A. R. haye
had a big row over the organization of
negro posts, and it looks like the order
will be badly divided on the question.
Senator Ingalls must have known tnis ;
but probably he did not care. When
be abuses the whites of the south for
refusing to acknowledge negroes as
their equals, socially, Senator Ingalls
of course does not mean for his abuse
to include the G. A. tt. post. That is
different.
The people of Grand Island, Nebras
ka, will experiment in the beet sugar
Industry this season. They are build
ing Bugarworks with a capacity for
handling So tons of beets per day, and
they have sent to Germany for beet
seed, and the farmers have agreed to
raise the beets. Thf y will also run a
refinery in connection with the sugar
works. Must of the sugar machinery
has also been ordered from Germany.
Grand Island is four counties west of
Lincoln, and is nearly directly north of
Medicine Lodge. If the beet sugar in
dustry, is successful there, 300 miles
north of tere, there is no reason why
it may not be a great success here.
Mr. G rover Cleveland would rather be
right than to be president. In a recent
talk with Dr. Munford, editor of the
Kansas City Times, regarding the cam
paign of 1892, the editor having suggest
ed that Mr. Cleveland would be the
nominee of his party, the ex-president
again arose equal to the occasion and
eaid : "It is the cause and not person
al considerations that should concern
us. I am so well situated now that if I
consulted my own feelings J would pre
fer to have someone else take the lead.
Men who have elements of leadership
develop rapidly, and it is a longtime till
1892. It is not a matter of men, but
principles. It would be a pity not to
carry forward the work which the party
has so grandly inaugurated, and there
ought to be no halt until the ends aimed
t are compacted and the people are in
full possession of tbo benefit and bless
ings which an accumulation pf inequal
ities; called into existence by apathy
on one side and self respect on the oth
er, have diverted from them. I rejoice
in feeling that the democratic party is
the repository of the best principles and
purposes, that its ranks teem with the
intelligent young: manhood of the coun
try, that it enjoys a complete monopoly
of every American policy not. merely
fectional or tlme-gerring." -
The G. A. R., of Kansas, the Wo
men's Relief Corns, and the Sons of
Veterans are in session at Salina.
Judge Sluss and Col. Murdock have
gone to Washington expecting to have
the judge named as U.S. circuit judge
to succeed Judge Brewer.
H. Wilts Brown has retired from the
Meade County Democrat, and the paper
will hereafter be edited by Samuel
Lawrence, a tried and true democrat.
Among the first opinions delivered by
Judge Brewer, as judge of the United
States supreme court, was one holding
Comanche county, Kansas, liable for
payment of the fraudulent bonds of
1873 and 1874.
A writer in the Kansas Farmer urges
on farmers the advantage of planting
black walnut trees. Selecting an acre
of rich, bottom land, near a small stream
and bv planting rows 9i feet apart one
way by 5 feet the other way he would
have 800 trees on the acre. While cul
tivating the trees for the first three or
four years he could raise a little corn
planted between the rows of trees. Af
ter tnree or four years the grove would
require no attention, but would be orna
mental and useful in several ways. In
forty years each tree would be worth
$10, which would make $8,000 for the
one acre or $200 per year. It would not
be a great task for a young man of 20
years to start a grove of 5 acres, and at
sixty years of age he would have a for
tune of $40,000.
It has been discovered that there is
no law in this state punishing persons
guilty of offering or accepting bribes.
A petition was circulated at Topeka,
last week, asking for a special grand
jury to investigate alleged bribery of
members of the legislature, but the dis
covery being made that the statutes
provide no adequate measures for the
prosecution, the grand jury will not be
assembled, it has been a matter of
general rumor for years that money was
used at Topeka every winter to encour
age or retard legislation ; but the bri
bers and bribe-takers have never been
punished. The ''John Baltimore" case
is one with which the public is famil
iar : W. T. Cavanaugh, under the alias
of John Baltimore, demanded $600 of
State Printer Baker to suppress legisla
tion affecting Baker's contract. Cava
naugh was dismissed from the clerk
ship, and that ended it. The state in
surance superintendent says twenty
members of the last legislature accepted
bribes, and yet he dare not give their
names. It would implicate too many
good republicans, and endanger the
82,000 republican majority, and that
would never do.
The reports that Register Dille and
Receiver Barnes, of the Guthrie land
office, connived with "sooners" in per
petrating frauds in connection with the
settlement of Oklahoma, have been
confirmed by statements made by Spe
cial Agent McBride, of Kansas City,
lie was sent down there to watch the
opening, and report frauds. He saw
and reported more than he was paid to
see, and when he made his report, rec
ommending the immediate removal of
Dille and Barnes from office, and im
plicated a brother of Powell Clayton in
gross frauds, Mr. McBride was at once
removed from his position. In so many
words, he was told that he must not see
rascality when it occurred in the repub
lican ranks. Mr. Harrison promptly
removed Democrat Jones, U. S. mar
shal, tor his complicity in Oklahoma
frauds ; but Dille and Barnes are yet
in office. Dille, who is an ex-chairman
of the Indiana republican machine,
wants more, for he is the leading can
didate tor governor of Oklahoma, and
Mr. Harrison will probably appoint him.
Dille evidently knew how to hold his
job, qualify himself for a new place,
and keep solid with this model admin
istration : he got down in the dirt.
Senator Ingalls delivered his adver
tised speech on the race question, last
week, in the senate, and he is now solid
with his constituents, and will be re
elected. The speech purported to be
in opposition to Senator Butler's bill,
appropriating five millions of dollars to
aid the negroes' in emigrating to Africa.
Senator Ingalls slobbered all over the
poor, patient and much-abused colored
man and brother ; he showed the hearfc
lessness of this great government in
not protecting the colored American
citizens from the outrages of the white
people of the south ; he predicted that
the negro would, in time, become tired
of the oppression to which he now sub
mits, and then there would be a race
war. The only remedy the senator
could offer was advice to the south to
register and count thpyotesof the ne
groes. That would make them satis
fied. The speech was violently partisan:
tt was not an argument, but simply a
repetition of the charges that have been
made every year since Hayes stole the
presidency, by every radical speaker,
who, like Ingalls, talks purely to make
himself solid with his constituents. Mr.
Ingalls did not say one word about the
wonderful strides toward progress that
the south is making j he did not pre
tend to say that the negro was capable
of conducting the business of the south
as successfully as the whites ; but he
(lid say, if nut Erectly, by inference.
that all the republican party was
inatine negroes might be allowed to
control elections, and elect carpet-bag
republicans to office, and vote for the
republican electoral tickets. The sen
ator forgot to mention that the G. A. R.
of the south would . have nothing to do
with the colored man and brother, and
even dismissed from their order men
who dared muster in posts of colored
men.
A FARMER WRITES.
(From the Wichita Eagle.)
Medicine Lodge, Jan. 20, 1890.
Friend Murdock : Go on. Keep it
up. We are your backers. We are only
farmers, but let me say we have stood
all we can. We have tried ta support
our families. We have looked ahead
with hope for a bijr crop, to have better
times. It has come ; that crop of 1889
was all we could ask, but the prices we
got for our stock and this crop is in the
tide of lost hope. We must drop politics
and work" hand in hand, and with a will.
We vjl have things our way , in a little
while. You au2 your paper have the
credit ot making Wichita iit It to
day, and if you will stand by' us farmers
as you do cow, m& the' help of other
papers, who can't be beat, ye will haye
better times as soon as tee elect one of
our number to belp make Jaws for our
protection, (which we are going to do by
our votes at the next election, and don't
you forget it. Our homes call for it, our
families call for it. No politics in the
next vote. -
It must be that men will make laws
which will give us justice. Our country
is bountiful, but it will not, cannot pay
such interest and taxes and improve
our many homes. All we earn goes to
make a few richer. It must stop, and
stop in 1890 and l. We are readers of
your paper. We wish to hear from oth
er farmers. We want their, ideas. It
spreads like wildfire. We are waking
up to a better state of things. Matters
haye been going wrong. They nave
gone a little too far. There are break
ers ahead. Yours truly,
Eli Benedict.
LIVING too man.
People who supposed that Congress
man Peters was a very plain liver, will
learn their error when they read that
his expenses in Washington are about
$50 per month more than his congres
sional salary. He says he pays $150 for
board and lodging ; $100 for a stenog
rapher, or private secretary; postage,
$30 ; cab hire, $30 to $40 $30 for news
papers ; $40 to $50 to a man who looks
after the interests of his constituents
in the land office ; incidental expenses,
$50 a month ; or a total of say $5,280 a
year.
Now, we are not economists ; we have
never lived in Washington, and we do
not know how much style a congress
man has to swing ; but we figure it that
Judge Peters could get good board, bet
ter than any of his constituents enjoy.
for $60 per month, and thus save $90
per month on that point. He could
write his own letters and send ont his
own seeds, and save $100 paid a secre
tary ; or be might get a cheaper stenog
rapher, at $50 ; she might not be so pret
ty, but would do her work just as well.
He could ride on the street cars, and
save at least $25 per month on that
item, and his constituents would not
kick, for there is not one in a hundred
in the whole lot who Knows what a 'cab'
looks like. Then, there is no sense in
a congressman paying newspaper sub
scriptions, for if ne is right smart he
will keep the papers paid up with "pub.
docs.,' postoffices, and other favors;' so
here he would save $30 more per month.
Then, that man who works the land
office is a luxury, not a necessity. If a
constituent writes about his land, the
congressman has but to refer the letter
to the proper department, and request
an answer, and he will get it ; and on
this item he will save say $50 a month.
The item of "incidentals" is all right,
especially if the judge drinks a good ar
ticle; but outside of this we have shown
how the judge can save $295 per month,
or $3,540 per year. That, deducted from
the $5,280 now expended by the judge,
would leave him a margin of $1,740, (to
say nothing of postage, which he could
cut down materially,) which he could
put where it would do the most good
toward securing a re-nomination and a
re-election. He should have figured
this matter closer before ne declined to
be a candidate for re-nomination.
FARMERS AND PROTECTION.
Western republicans who imagine
that the products of their farms are
protected as well as the products of eas
tern factories have but to study the
facts to learn that thev are mistaken
The average duty or tax on all articles
protected is a little more than 47 per
cent. There is nothing that the farmer
raises that is protected to that extent,
wool being the highest and the duty on
Imported wool being but 42 per cent.
And then, the articles that are protect
ed for the benefit of the farmer are
brought to this country to compete with
home grown articles in such small
amounts that the western farmer would
not know of their sale, if he were not
told of it.
Below wo publish a table of protected
articles, showing the value of all import
ted in 1888, prepared by T. E. Wilson,
the New York tariff statistician. Only
articles generally produced and sold by
the western farmer are given :

Compare that list witji the millions

ware, lumber, farm implements, bind
ing twine, sugar, salt, glass everything
the western farmer must buy which is
made in this country, but protected bv
the lobber tariff to the extent of 47 per
cent., nearly half of its selling price
Without the tariff the western nurchas
er instead of getting 53 cents worth of
every dollar he expends, would get 100
cents wortn. lie could afford to have
the duty removed entirely from everv
thing he produces, and stand bis chance
with all the world that might seek to
compete with him if he could get the ar
ticles that he must buy at a reasonable
price without the "protection" added
to them.
BEATING JULES VERNE.
Nellie Bly, the cpnesnondent pi the
New York World, completed her trip
around the world last Saturday, arri
ving is York at 3 o'clock, p. m
having been goiic f::i l!ire 73 clays.
4 hours and 19i minutes. XnvemiW
14th, 1889, she left New York on a
steamer bound east; sailed to Liver
pool ; took a train across the country to
Dover ; a boat to Calais, France ; then
by train. to Brindiai ; through the Suez
Canal and Red Sea to Aden ; through
the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean to
Colombo, Ceylon ; from there bv Pen
ang to Singapore; from there through
the Chinese Sea to Hong Kong ; then to
Yokohama ; then to San Francisco ; by
tug to Oakland, and over the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe to Kansas City
and Chicago, and then to New York.
The young lady left New "York equip
ped for quick traveling, with no "bag
gage but a hand valise and one gown.
She carried tickets for the round trip,
and a letter of eredit to the amount of
$2,500. She did not once miss connec
tions, and met with no delay or acci
dent. ' She had to stay In Hong Kong
and Yokohama about seven days, wait
ing "for steamers... Sh$ started out to
beat the record pf Jules Verne's im
aginaty hpp who went around the
world in SQ days. Nellie bly beat' the
record 8 days. '; " ' 'v "' ;
-Qn tne same day that Nellie Bly start
ed ea&t from New Yor Miss Elizabeth
Bisland, representing the Cosmopolitan
Magazine, started west from there, with
the intention of going around the world
in the shortest possible time, and hop
ing to beat Nellie's record. She wonld
have done it, too, but for a bad break
she made ftt Europe. She had gotten
back safely to Brindisi on the 15th ; she
took a train that should have , landed
her at Havre, France, in time to , haye
taken a steamer Saturday morning, the
18th inst.; but she got switched, on the
wrong road, in some manner, and miss
ed the steamer, which waited several
hours for her. She then went to Calais
and Dover and London, crossed England
to Hollyhead, crossed to Dublin, thence
to Queenstown, and sailed on Sunday
night, the 19 tb, on a slow steamer, the
Bothnia, for New York. Had she
boarded a steamer- at Havre, as it was
intended that she should, she would
probably have arrived in New York the
day before Miss Bly did. Miss Bisland
started west from New York about 8
hours after Miss Bly's departure, and
from Chicago she took the northern
route to the Pacific. From San Fran
cisco she simply reversed Miss Bly's
trip, going to Yokohama, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Colombo, Aden and Brin
disi, and then by rail to Calais.
For the past ten days the papers haye
been full of accounts of the movements
ot these two young ladies, and the
whole world will be talking about them
for quite a while yet.

Prof. Blake's Predictions.
Relying on the predictions
of Prof. Blake that this would
be a severe winter, we stock
ed up on heavy clothing,
boots, shoes, and other winter
goods. Now we are "stuck,"
for there has been no winter,
and no demand for our heavy
goods. We can't keep them,
so now we make this offer
Find out what you can buy
for at any house in this town
and then come to 113 and we
will make a 10 per cent, cut
under that price. This holds
good in clothing, boots and
shoes and all other winter
goods. Respectfully,
30 DAVIS cfe DAVIS.
