THERE is something discourag.
ing In the way In which, just at
the opening Of the Southern trans
continental railway, the Apache Is
allowed to flourish In New Mexico.
1t was thought that the killing Of
Victoria had put an end to the law
lessness in that section, but we
now learn that there is a perfect
panic in Ell Paso. During the past
three or four weeks no less than
forty people. have been slaughtered
by Indians In the neighborhood OF
that town or on roads leading from
1t. This is . poor premium on
travel over the new road, whose
junction cannot we'll be postponed
beyond the middle Of March. The
only encouraging sign in the situa.
ton is the summoning to the scene
of disturbance of the veterans OF
the Sixth Cavalry and the Indian
scouts. The latter, especially, are
most useful class. We are told
that, in ancient times, when Greek
met Greek, then came the tug OF
war. This is the case in New Mex
leo. When Apache meets Apache
the fur flies with vengeance.
The red skins in the service of the
United States have proved them
selves to be quite as useful as the
Sepoys are to the British In India.
Well backed up. by white men,
they fight like incarnste devils,
while their experience in tracking
their fellow Indians is q marvel.
The renegade is always proverbial-
~ bitter and bloodthirsty, and q
red skin does not alter human ma
ture whit. 1t is to be regretted
that Gen. Crook is not 10 command

day. With that sagacious and In
domitable Indian fighter at the
head Of affairs, VIctor:o would
never have been able to cut up the

THERE is one notable difference
between Grant and other men who
have aspired to supreme power, or.
at least, to degree of power incon-
sistent with the traditions Of their
country. That difference marks
the wide gap which separates
Grant in intellectual grasp and sa-
gacity from such men as Cesar
and Napoleon. Grant, after two
terms as President, undoubtedly
desired to be President q third
time, and that would have been a
mere entering wedge. He was Inn

unpatriotic course by men who are

tion of most European govern.
ments. These fellows indulge in a
lackey worship Of the pomp and cir.
cumstance which attach to the
time-honored and feudal aristocra.
cies of Europe. They would like
to reproduce, In the United States,
q political state of things which
would answer to the "High Life
Below Stairs" of the amusing
English drama. In Grant they
had companion worthy Of their
abasement. II the OK tanner had
had any of the breadth of intellect
of Cesar or Napoleon, instead Of
affiliating with the efsminate and
sscodflsh" aristocracy of the newly
rich, he would have struck lp an
alliance with the masses. just
there he differs from successful
usurpers. Grant, with his record.

There were circumstances about
his accidental military career
which would have made him dam

had he been q man of brains and

Europe. The profound art with
which Cesar, himself Q patrician,
courted the masses Of Rome, is ia.

history. Mark Antony, in the
speech which Shakespeare put into
his mouth, has very happily devel-
oped this phase Of the oaresr~of the

The Kansas, Southern & Texas railway,
to run from Mcpherson, Mcpherson Co.,
via Sterling, Medicine Lodge, etc., dis
lance OF 225 miles, has fled its charter
with the secretary of state. 1t will be of
great importance to the southwest when
completed. -ILeavenworth Times.
II has been our opinion for some time,
that If we ever got railroad extended to
this place, it would be from the directi on
of Mcpherson. The Mcpherson branch f
the Union Pacific extends from Salina
to Mcpherson Centre, distance of thirty
five miles. When the branch was Hrst
built, it was avowed intention to build
the road on at once to Medicine Lodge,
as the Santa Fe and Jay Gould were at
war. Finally a compromise was effected,
whereby the Santa Fe agreed to keep
their trains out of Denver if Jay Gould
would not extend his Mcpherson branch
any farther south. If we are informed
correctly, the Santa Fe company is, or
soon will be, running their trains into
Denver over the Rio Grande, and there is
now nothing to prevent Jay Could from
extending into Southwestern Kansas
point he has been wanting to strike for
yeals.

Medicine Lodge has the reputation,
among her own people, of possessing more
scandal mungers and gossips than any
other town in the State of Kansas-and
there is much truth in this. There is a
class Of men and women here who are not
overbufdened with work, and make it a
daily practice of going from house to
house and learning what they can of pri-
Yate family affairs. If they are terribly
snubbed in their Efforts, they do not
seem to notice it, but persist in their en-
deavors to discover something that will
create "a talk" fthey succeed in find
ing out that which they have no right TO
know, they are perfectly happy. They
enlarge upon it and repeat 1T to their
friends-Ind that is the way it goes.
Fortunate indeed is the individual who
has learned to pay no attention to
these devils, but hold up his head and
20 about his business, and let them Cos
SID to their hearts content. How long,
OIL Lord, are these hyenas to pollute the
earth with their presence?

Fad, at the residence OF the brides father,
by 81. Shepler, Probate Judge, DIR. VIM.

unlocked for. The groom is a practicing
physician in the town of Moline, and is

tain, the ranch is one Of the best in the

1t Is certainly an indication of great

There was considerable ''cussinR"
around the court house. this week, when it
was discovered that the county officers
could not get their pay for their last quar-
ter's work until the meeting of the board
Of county commissioners In January. The
reason tor this is about as follows: The
laws OF Kansas say that the county COM
missioners SHALL meet on the frstMonday
Of each quarter to transact business. If
they do not meet on that day, no scrip can
be issued at that session. 1t is presumed
our board had forgotten about this section
of the statutes-at least they met on last
Tuesday and were about to issue scrip and
transact their business rs usual, when the
honorable body were informed that it was
Illegal. Therefore our county officers will
get no pay until next quarter, and great
many individuals who were depending on
scrip to pay their taxes, will be compelled
to fork over the cash.
