Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1884-02-01


At no time are we anxious to create
the impression that our officials are
derelict in the discharge of their duties,
but case now in mind would seem to
call for criticisms. The law requires
that the sheriff shall, at least fifteen
days before any general election, give
public notice by proclamation through
out his county, of the time of holding
such election and officers at that time
to be chosen, one copy of which shall be
posted up at each of the places where
the elections are appointed to be held,
and INSERTED IN SOME NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHED IN THE COUNTY, if any be
published therein. Next Tuesday, Feb
ruary 9Th, is the time for the regular
township elections, and yet we have
seen nothing in any one of the three
papers published in this county from
Sheriff Rigg on the subject. We have
understood that he did have some hand
bills printed announcing the election,
but that cannot be considered full
compliance with the law.
We hate to think that our sheriff, who
has been reasonably prompt in doing
his duty, in this instance has allowed
his political prejudices to get the better
of his Judgment, and neglected to have
the notice of election published because
it would have to be inserted in the In
DEX but it does look that way.
In full time to have the notice pub
lished the full time required by law, a
representative of the INDEX called the
attention of Sheriff Rigg to this very
matter. lie replied that lie had already
contracted with the Cresset before the
county printing was awarded the IN
DEN. So that must have been more
than twenty-five days before the time
for the election; and yet we have not
seen the notice i'm the Cresset.
Last year the sheriff published the
notice of the township election in the
Cresset, the official paper, and we GER
tainly think he should have published
the notice i'm the INDEX this year.
Tie question now arises, will the
township elections in Barber county
next Tuesday be legal?

II is now announced that the whole
sale liquor dealers of Kansas City and
st. Joseph are encouraging the war that
is now being waged In this state OH sa-
looms, for the reason that when the sa-
looms are closed the orders for liquor to
these wholesale houses are always ac-
cOmpanied by the cash, and they are
enabled to sell cheap article of liquor
for large price. Then their trade is
about as large when the saloons are not
open as when they are. Besides, when
the saloons are closed it is not necessary
To keep travelling men constantly on the
road there are no bad bills to collect,
and no goods are returned for any rea-
son. This is nice comment on the
great and good prohibition law.

OF late there has arisen so many cases
of prosecution of parties i'm adjoining
counties for alleged violations Of the
land laws, liable at any time to be ex-
tended into this county. that petition
is being circulated here and being TX
tensively signed asking Judge Peters to
introduce bill into congress legalizing
the title To all cash entries of land made
prior To this time. IL is nothing but
right that such measure should be
passed by congress. for while it will not
do injustice To any one, il will have the
effect of giving confidence To all kinds
of business in this section.
As it now stands no man who holds a
claim feels entirely secure. lie does
not know but he may have unintentiOn-
ally neglected some small a t of the re
quirements of the law, and that he may
be jerked up by the United States au-
thorities. Few, if any, glaring frauds
exist in this section, and people gener-
ally understand it, but there is n class
of busy-bOdy sneaks and informers who
are attempting to make something out
of these cases. They are well known
here, and as thoroughly detested, as
such people usually are. They have
used their rights To take claims, some
of them in questionable manner too,
and are now opposed to any one pros
pering around them.
Congressman Peters will receive petit
tons from the very bone and sinew of
this county, and we hope he may see
proper to grant the prayer of his petit
TONERS and introduce the bill they sug-
gest.

Kansas wanted a railroad after the
Union Pacific was built, and made vast
grants To the Kansas Pacific. The Kan
sas Pacific was gobbled by the Union
Pacific, and Kansas sues for a forfeit
IRE of the gifts. The case involves Sl4,-
90, 600, and is now before the supreme
court of the United States. The JUS
tees admit that the case is one of the
most important which have ever come
before them. For this reason, and in All
exceptional manner, the court has adj
vanced the case on its calendar. TWAS
to have come up for argument on the
18th, but owing TO sickness i'm the fami-
ly of one of the counsel, the case was
postponed until March Sd. Among the
agents of the monopoly who will speak

If there had been 10 popular opinion
behind this prohibition, il would never
have been adopted. But there was. The
people voted directly on the cOnStitu-
tiOnal provision, and have since elected
two legislatures Overwhelmingly i'm IA
vor of enforcing il. These are facts,
which no one Will deny.
The above is from the Atchison
Champion, edited by Col. John \. Mar
tin, who is just now prominent canGi-
date for governor. lie was opposed to
the prohibition law for long time !;
he opposed the candidacy of st. John,
but having, as he thinks, diSco\ cred
that the only way for him to succeed, is
to get the nomination forgovemor from
the hands of the prohibition republic
cans, he gracefully falls into line.
Referring to the above statement Geo.
W. Martin, of the Junction City Union,
also a republican paper, tells what he
knows about the prohibition law in the
following interesting paragraph:
The prohibitory amendment was
adopted in 1880 by plurality vote.
There were S4.304 votes against, and
2j,Il3 not polled, while 92,3O2 favored
the proposition. That was not very
emphatic expression. a legislature was
chosen at the same election. The only
| expression since the adoption of the
amendment WAS the election of the
house in lSS2, and that was against the
amendment. For some shystering pur-
pose the party whip was cracked 10y one
OF the most pronounced anti-prohibi-
| tlonists IN the state, and the question
! OF re-submSsion voted down by a h use
largely anti-prohIbition. This was &c M
/ OnStrated later in the session when the
same gang fairly hooted to death an
amendatory act proposed by the prohi-
bltlonists, and which passed the senate,
the object of which. as urged, was to
remove some of the objections to the
present law. The law was then dead,
and 1t continued To he dead until a
/ democratic political Judge gave it all
/ the life it has got to-day. The rapidity
with which a majority of the last house
sought saloon, Immediately after vOt-
ing down re-9ubmissiOn, was not indi-
cative of a sentiment upon which re.
/ form thTives. Local elections since
have generally been against the law.
Hence. we deny the facts stated by the
/ Champion.

We have wondered frequently who
was the originator Of that detestable
expression And don't YOU forget it. :"
\ Wichita paper says the man is Joseph
Keary, of Cleveland, Ohio, who was Wis
ting Wichita the other day, The paper
also says Keary is particular friend Of
senator elect Payne, of Ohio. If this is
true, and Payne encourages the friend
ship. he might as well give up all hopes
Of being president. The American peO-
pie are forgiving, but they have long
wanted to find the man who coined that
meanest of all slang expressions. They
will visit their wrath on Payne, land

TWO PICTURES

Major John n. Edwards. in the St
Joseph, Me-, Gazette, mixes facts ur
with his fiowery rhetoric frequently. as
will be seen from the following from his
pen
''Our esteemed black flag contempt.
rary, the St. Louis GlObe-Democrat
paints picture, "a la Jay Gould" as il
calls it, upon whose canvass is spread
nineteen different kinds of assets sup
posed to belong yet to the democratic
party. and which, in times of great DO
litical distress and depression, it is wont
to exhibit as an evidence of its solvency
and its thorough ability to pay.
Well, there are panics and panics. II
is whispered everywhere in high politi.
cal circles that the republican party is
in bad way, mighty bad way. Sher-
ifs are coming. In and out of the gloom
every now and then a receiver fits. Its
paper has gone to protest in quarters
where, not so very long ago, it was sac
rilege to speak above ones breath the
name of Andrew Jackson. Shattered
i'll purse, i'll character, and in credi'
suppose it, too, takes an inventory of
Its stocks, its bonds, and all its availa-
bic resources, big and little. Suppose
it, too, demands of its managers at
Washington that such a schedule as this
shall be prepared, after the vaults have
been opened and the strong boxes pro-
duced, and he telegraphed to the coun-
try as the assets it then has left for the
next election. We have an idea that the
catalogue would he highly interesting,
and would be about as follows:
/. The bloody shirt.
2. One hundred and twenty thousand
Office holders to toll and tax.
3. Tissue ballots.
4. EX-Speaker Keifer, with Robe

D. President Arthur's speech glorify-

that If Mr.. Dorsey said that Indiana

10. Mahone's race riot at Danville.

II. New two dollar greenback bills in
Indiana.
