VIM. Mills returned from Missouri
this week with 100 fine young mules,
ones and twos, that he purchased in
Jackson, Lafayette and Saline counties
for himself and partner, Nick Sherlock.
These will be taken to their ranch west
of here on the Medicine river, and raised
until they are fit for use. These gentle
men have every confidence in the mule
business and will devote considerable
portion of their time and means to max
ing it a success in Barber county. But
this venture will not be allowed to inter-
fere with their cattle, for their extern
sive herds will be held much farther
west.

The latest wrinkle on proving up
claims, so that one person can get two
claims, is reported from the northern
part of this county. A party who had
already proved up on his claim, took a
fancy to one adjoining his, and on tins
he put building and established his
wife, announcing that he had separated
from her and that he had secured di-
vorce. A married woman cannot prove
up claim; but divorced or single
woman can. 1t is probable that this
avaricious couple would really go
through the formality of divorce to Sc
cure claim and then re-mary after
the final proof has been made. This is
one way of securing land, but system
that should not be encouraged.

If Medicine Lodge expects to hold the
trade of the southwestern part of Bar
Der county from New Kiowa, the roads
leading here must be put in better con-
dition than they are in now. AT present
team cannot haul half load from
here to the vicinity of Lodi, Canema or
Sexton, while it is fact that there is a
good road from that section to New XII
owa, and once get the trade started to
that place and it will likely continue
going there. Merchants and business
men of this city do not appear to realize
that other towns are springing up
around them, but they will find it out
certain. A united effort might induce
the overseers to pay some attention to
the roads leading to the southwest, and
only a small effort need be made to
raise funds sufficient to do a vast amount
of needed work. Then the bridge ques-
ton should be considered. The Medi-
cine river need not be crossed in order
to get to New Kiowa; but Medicine
Lodges not so fortunate. There should
be bridge built here by all means.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-09-09

In the middle of Mr. Cleveland's admins
tration the terms of seven Republican senators
will expire. All of these are in States which
the Democracy considers doubtful, and FIVE OF
which Mr.. Cleveland carried. The senators
whose terms end on the 4th of March, 1887.
are Hawley, of Connecticut; Miller, of New
York; Sewell, of New Jersey; Malone, of Vir
ginia; Harrison, of Indiana, and Sherman, Of
Ohio. 1t is in view of these facts that the
election in Ohio becomes of national interest,
and why the people of Ohio are called upon to
determine something in addition to the mere
local questions involved in the canvass. And,
also, this is why the people of other States
have so deep an interest in the Ohio election.
Its result may determine the political com
plexion of the United States Senate, and that
is of national concern.

body, that for years an honest election has not
been known in several of the Southern States,
but violence and bloodshed, murder and fraud
have practically disfranchised the majority in
those States, it is time for honest men
to appeal to other honest men to stand
together and protest against such dangerous
and undemocratic state of affairs The Of
Tense of indifference in these matters is a
serious one, and gives encouragement to the
very worst elements of the South, the men
who have done so much to prejudice the out
side world against the new South and to re-
tard it's commercial development. Even in
this city it has been fippantly asked by an
independent paper, "What has John Sherman
inference to be drawn from which is that the
Republican party, having admitted Southern
men to an equal footing in the politics of the
country, they must be allowed to do as they
please without any protest or effort to remedy
the evils wrought. This is narrow and craven
spirit unworthy the heirs of the manhood that
did so much for the glory and perpetuation of
the Union. 1t is not proposed that anybody
shall invade the South, or any of its States,
to compel fair elections. These will come
some day, when the new South gets strong
enough to hold the old in check,
and to clap the hand of JUS
tice upon the miscreants who have done
so much harm. AT the very worst and most
it is proposed that since colored men are not
allowed to speak or vote in the South, as has
been established by indubitable proof, that
the thirty eight electoral votes apportioned
those States be withdrawn until such time as
the men to whom they were awarded shall be
allowed to vote in peace and to have their votes
counted. The question of honest and free
elections in the South has very much to
do with John Sherman in Ohio, be-
cause of the fact that to-day the
election pending in that State is influenced
by the fact that we have Democratic admin
istration elected by means of murder and fraud,
crimes as dangerous to the welfare and safety
of the country as were any Of the ante-bel-
lum acts of violence and incendiary speeches,
before which so many nervous people trernbled
and were afraid to condemn lest trouble should
ensue. But trouble did ensue, and the trouble
was augmented because of the fact that al
legged Northern cowardice was an incentive to
the DULLES that plunged the South and the
Nation into war.
