The prayer meeting and the Sunday

be attended with rather unfortunate re-
suits. In Iowa it is revealed not mere
~ 10y the tremendous reduction of the
Republican majority Of 1900 in 1850 to
5.OO or whereabouts in 1881, but still
more cOnspicuoCsly by the fact that the
Republicans will have "A bare majority
uf three or four in the Lower House of
the state Legislature. The Republican
majority in the last House over the
Democrats was forty-eight; there were
seventy Republican members and twen-
ty-twO Democratic members, or more
than three To one; in the new House the
membership is almost equally divided
between the two parties. The Repub-
licans retain reliable majority on Joint
ballot through the hOldover Senator's:
but the prohibition political church bus

election of the members of the House.
almost lost the Republicans its control.
In Ohio the'political church is defeated
by majority of 7O,7S3. and the grog
shops have their men in all the offices.

in radical Kansas the prostitution
Of the Sunday school and the prayer

twaddle about lawyer being disQuali-

We think the Times virtually &C
knowledges that Senator Sluss is in the
employ of the railroads. There is no
sin in that; but the position Of railroad
attorney and candidate for district Judge
do not harmoaize in the opinion Of
our people.
And further down this way we under
stand that Sluss is not only the attor-
ney of the railroads btSt that he was
their tool when he was in the senate;
that he belonged to that galaxy Of high

he is better suited TO thu position Of

WILL STAND nv THE LEASE

AS will be seen in our letter from
Caldwell the members of the Cherokee
Strip Live Stock association win be
asked to pay rental of three and one
fourth cents per acre for the first year
and two and One-half cents per acre for
each OF the remaining four years the
lease continues. Cheap pasturage most
people would say.-BARBER COUNTY
INDEX.
Yes, cheap pasturage most people"
do SAY" The Cherokees are painfully
conscious of that fact without being re-
mended of it every now and then by the
Border Papers. In view of what cattle
are worth, and what good grazing lands
are worth.every whereielse, outside of the
Territory the lessees have a bonanza in
the Cherokee Strip lease; and we are in
favor of them being permitted to enjoy it
whether their lease first payment was
made day before ~ a day after the
day agreed upon by the contracting par
ties-and whether we are receiving
more or less than we now believe the
lease to be really worth. Having ac-
cepted Of the proposition Of SlOO,OOO.OO
per annum from Colonies Drumm, Hew-
ms. Eldred and Company, let us stand
up to it like honest men and without
neutrality-suspicious. it hurts or not.

The police troubles in st. Louis are
yet causing great excitement, and the
mere light thrown on the ugly subject
appears to further implicate Gov. Crit
tenden as the friend and protector of
gamblers. Briefly stated, the story is
about this: When Crittenden was in
augurated he selected as his counsellors
a lot OF scheming, corrupt men, remOv-
ed the appOintees of his honest prede-
cessor, Gov. Phelps, and put in their
places men he could use as he liked. OF
these he demanded blank designations,
so that on the first Indication Of insub-
ordination, he could chop off their off,
cial heads And he used his decapitat-
ing power in several instances, when
his appointees did not suit the gamblers.
The chief of police was al honest man,
and insisted on enforcing the law and
for this he was removed from Office.
The people arose and protested, held an
Indignation meeting, and two thousand
business men requested the governor to
remove his police commissioners who
had ousted the chief of police. Did he
do it? Not much. The grand jury is
investigating the rottenness, but they
can not get at the root Of the evil, for
the governor is a privileged person, and
1t is not likely that he will voluntarily
tell all he knows. If the legislature
were in session 1t might impeach the
governor, but it will not meet until his
term of office has about expired. He
is certain not to call an extra session
of the legislature.

President Arthur has shown a true
sense Of honor in disappearing of the
action of the court martial sentencing
Lieut.. James F. Simpson to dismissal
from the service for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and gentleman" i'm mar
rying his mistress. The sentence re-
vealed a curious idea of morality on the
part Of the members Of the court. The
military gentlemen seem To have seen
nothing discreditable in adultry; the
crime, in their opinion, was leaving it
of. Had Lieut.. Simpson turned the
woman into the street TO starve the act
would have been considered ofIicer-like
and gentlemanly, but for making the
woman the only honorable reparation,
in saving her from further shame, and
breaking of an unlawful relation, the
officer appears To have become the vic
tim Of an attempt To drive him from the
service in disgrace. The President of
the United States has refused to coun-
tenance such shameful injustice, and
has earned the thanks on every honest
man and woman by his action.

The great New York capitalist, Rufus

Many people wonder what induced
X. j. Taliafcrro TO become candidate
for county clerk. lie held an important
office, that of district clerk. and did not
pretend to give 1t any attention, prefer
ring to entrust II TO deputy. Finding
himself incompetent, or for some other
reason, he resigned, and now asks To be
put in still more important position.
What assurance have the people that he
will do more there than have some one
do the work while he will draw the sal
airy? Another thing, lie is not acquain-
tel with the duties Of the office, while
Judge Shepler. his opponent is acquain-

The prohibitIOnists are still worrying
Doe Rigg about not coming out square
OH the great issue of the day. They say
that heretofore he has made no effort to
enforce the law, and that he may con-
tinue during the next two years, if lie
is elected, to let the law enforce itself.
The continual worry has caused the Re
publican candidate for sheriff to refer
to his past in this grand style:
Have not i'm my time heard lions roar?
Have l not seen the Medicine pulled up
with winds,
Rage like al angry boar, chafed with
sweat?
Have | not heard the war-whoop of wild
braves,
And heavens artillery thunder in the
skies?
Have not, i'm pitched battle heard,
Loud clarions, neighiRg steeds and
trumpets clang?
And yet, would you believe it gentle
men,
All these and more would I rather hear.
Than all this prohibition talk.

The colored people are having a busy
time of 1t now holding indignation
meetings. That a Republican supreme
court should decide unconstitutional an
act passed by n Republican congress for
their especial benefit, appears to them
a great Outrage. The Civil Rights bill.
In the nrst place, Was nothing but parti-
san legislation, enacted To tickle the ne
gro voters and keep them in the Repub-
lican ranks. The fathers of the meas
ure never expected TO abide by the pro-
visions of the law, and II has been no
ticable fact that Republicans have been
more frequent violatOrs of the Civil
Rights bill than any other class. We
hope the negroes will keep up their in

Our cattiemen who have an ia. /, 2
introducing Polled cattle into ths;,
herds, will not soon have q better onDor-
tunity Of purchasing Of these breeds
than will be afforded at the grand cam
bination sale at Kansas City from Nov
I'd to sth inclusive. Included in the LOT
To be sold are 500 head of Polled- Arops
and Galloway cattle from the leading
herds of the country, consisting of bulls,
cows and heifers Of breeding ages and
without exception they are thorougb.
bred and pedigreed. Reduced fare will
be given on all the railroads.
The experience Of several OF the lead-
ing stockmen on this range-Capt. A.
II. Evans, 4. w. Phillips, Col. Colcord
for instance-has demonstrated that the
black hornless cattle thrive and prosner
on our native grasses, and as naturally
take To "rustling" as do the full-bIood
Texans. Crossed with Texas or domes-
TIC cows the result is black hornless
calf, stout and hardy from birth. and
bearing every indication of having come
to stay. With extra care and feed these
crosses fairly slime, and take OH fat as
fast as any animal. Left on the range
they get through with the other breeds,
and much better than some.
Handling these cattle is no longer an
experiment, and we would be glad to
see our ranchmen purchase some of the
many splendid animals to be sold at the
grand combination sale.

A Montana farmer, of a scientific
turn of mind, has made discovery that
may revolutionize the beer industry and
break up all the breweries in the coun-
try. lie has found that by feeding his
COW on hops alone she will give dark
colOred bitter fluid that tastes like beer;
this he allows to go through state of
fermentation, when it is placed in a
tight vessel and put i'm a cool place, 10
he used when needed. When drawn out
the liquor is clear as water, effervescent
like champaign, and more pleasant to
the taste than any liquor yet discovered,
and with all the intoxicating properties
of any spurious or malt liquor. Think
what may come of this invention! Be-
yond the reach of prohibitOry amend
ments, outside of the meaning of the
the strictest internal revenue laws, the
industry Of brewing beer may be car
ried on by ranchmen, COW boys, gran
gers, anybody. Instead Of a crop of
millet OF sorghum, fields of hops will
he planted, cOrrals will he turned into
cOw-lOts and branding chutes will he
used for milking pens. Beef will be a
secondary consideration. the beer pro-
ducing qualities of COW being the one
thing to he looked after. Cowboys will
he cheaper than brewery hands, and the
owners Of a ranch, range and cows will
be regular national banks.
"If had COW that would give such milk,
I'D dress her in the finest silk,
Fccd her on the best OF hay,
And milk her twenty times day.
