Vice epresident Waldo. of the Houston e. Texas

The question our people are just now
discussing is, Who is the county attor-
ney of Barber county? Mr.. E. Sample
having resigned the position to which
he was elected, on the condition that
Judge Harris would appoint ]. W. Nc
Neal to the vacancy, the question arises
has the county attorney any right to
dictate as to who his successor shall be,
any more than any other citizen? and
has he the right to resign for a season
and again take the Office at his pleasure?
MIR. Sample is now engaged in defend
ing suit that is of vast importance to
this county-the Texas cattle fever case
while j. w. MeNeal, his deputy, is
pretending to prosecute in the same
case. Cannot the wishes of the people
be thwarted and great harm come of
such bargains as these? There has oc-
CURED serious violation of law, one
that may do reatinjury to many ranch
men; property is perishing on account
OF this violation, and yet the county at
tcrney refuses to prosecute, and instead
accepts fee against the county. and at
the Same time suggests the appointment
of his opponent.
Ii we should say this manner of exc
cutting the law does not meet with the
sanction of the voters of this county,
we would speak the sentiments of three
fourths Of the people.
The power is not delegated to any Of
fetal to choose his own successor, and it
is certainly bad taste and questionable
professional conduct for an attorney to
ask the appointment of his opposing
counsel in an important law suit. At
ter the final disposition of this case Mr..
Sample will no doubt attempt to step
back into the position he has vacated.
and hold the same until another fat fee
is offered.
In our opinion, Mr.. Sample is ineligi-
bic to hold the Office again until he is
elected or appointed TO the same. He
has forfeited all rights or claims to the
Office, and has done the very opposite of
what he was elected to do. at q criti-
cal moment he deserted the Office, and
we think Judge Harris and the people
will not sanction this manner of barter
ing and changing Offices between Office
holders and office-seekers.
If the laws are to be enforced, and If
officers are to remain the servants and
not the masters of the people, sudden
halt should be called.

The Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Times relates a pecu liar
case Of insanity, which was discovered
In Topeka last Sunday. The dispatch
says: 1.-The fore part Of the week John
Ames, heavy cattle and sheep raiser,
living beyond Dodge City, near the line
OF the Santa Fe road several miles. got
the idea into his head that desperadoes
were on his track for the purpose of
robbing and and killing him. So strong
did this hallucination grow upon the
mans mind that on Thursday he came
TO Topeka to see Governor Click and
have him order out the militia for pro-
lection. Instead, however, of calling
at the state house Ames located him.
self in North Topeka. From there he
wrote to aneighbOr of his saying that he
would go to Kentucky and buy some
fine cattle before returning home, but
requested this neighbor to write, and
address the letter &c. V. Kesler, North
Topeka, Kan" In the meantime Ames'
brother-in-law at Denver, Judge III. z.
Bennett, was notified of the unfortu-
nate mans strange proceedings, and
started out to Overtake him. With the
letter referred to above as q clue, Mr..
Bennett came to Topeka, arriving here
last night. This morning he laid his
case before the police and search was at
once made for Ames. Inquiries soon
ascertained his whereabouts. lie had
taken up his abode in the cupalo of the
Nerth Topeka NJ. Z. church and when
found was resting easily in a ham,
mock with lemonade and plenty of
nicknaeks to live on. lie had told such
a pitiful tale to some boys, of how par
ties were laying to kill him, that they
believed it and were hiding the poor
fellow. At first he seemed inclined to
resist being taken back home, but by
being promised by Judge Bennett that
he should go to see his sister at Denver,
he consented to make the trip and they
left on the 10 O'Clock train.

The INDEX has incurred the displeas-
ure OF Parson Elliot, a third-rate, stu id
preacher whom the NJ. Z. conference
inflicted on this people. Last Sunday
night he took occasion, in the pulpit he
pretends to Oil in this city, to denounce
this paper and declare it unfitfor house
hold reading, and this for the reason we
do not advocate the doctrine of prohibi-
ton. Any abuse from such a source is
an actual advantage TO the INDEX, and
we do not ask that the7Parson discon-
tinue the advertisement he is giving us.
Any respectable newspaper would be
losing Its cast TO stop at the barking Of
ours or the walls Of biggoted fanatics,
80 this paper cares nothing for either
class. Parson Elliot may expect TO in
nuence his flock against the great fami-
ly organ, but he can't do it-they know
US too well and they have known him
too short time. We have lived here
as a citizen, working for and with these
people-he has been travelling around
on the charity Of the church people; we
have worked for our bread while he has
eaten that paid for by others; we have
advocated liberty TO all mankind and
have favored conscience as q director,
while he has advocated the worst kind
Of servitude by prescribing men In what
particular belief they must live.
We have before intimated that these
political stump speeches in the church
were out OF order, but Parson Elliot has
not prohted by our suggestion. OuI
opinion now is that he has missed his
calling, and he should even now be ill.
ing the position Of dictator and general
manager Of the press Of Kansas. The
bible il too small book to furnish him
interesting reading and, like Napoleon

He has explained all there is mysterious
