Kansas needs new constitution and
has for many years; but the narrow
policy of the republican party has pre-
vented constitutional convention be-
ing called. The republicans were so
much afraid that liquor prohibition
would not be contained in the new
organic law, and that the people at the
the polls would ratify it, even with pro-
hibition left out, that the legislature
has not dared to call convention.
Now, the people in the newly-organized
counties of Kansas are dissatisfied be-
cause they are taxed without represen-
tatiOn. The apportionment of mem
bers of the legislature only provided fol-
organized counties. The republican
party in Kansas is responsible for this
state of affairs.

A. J. Jones, last week resigned the
Office of county attorney in favor of III.
l.. Shannon and Judge Ellis at once ap-
pointed the latter to the position. Mr..
Jones claims that there was no money
in the office, that he was subjected to
unceasing annoyances from outsiders
and that rather than submit to so
much bother, he decided to resign.
From the time his term of Office com.
menced, Mr.. Jones has been between
two fires. The element in this com.
munity that favored the strict enforce
ment of the prohibitory law were per-
sistent in their demands on the county
attorney. On the other hand there was
a considerable number that eAdeavored
to have the county attorney wink at the
violations as his predecessors had done.
1t was impossible to please both ele-
ments and no one would have been sur
prised if Mr.. Jones had put in his res
ignation six months ago. His successor,
Mr.. Shannon will be found to be fair
and impartial officer and he will have
the support of the community in his
efforts to fill the Office. Mr.. Jones is a
democrat and Mr.. Shannon is a repub-
lican.

In the United States circuit court at
Kansas City, last week, Judge Krekel
held that a railroad company is respon-
sible for damages that accrued by reas-
on of the failure to deliver cattle in the
market on time. On August 18th, 1884,
Charles Il. Hudson, wealthy cattle
raiser shipped 37s steers from Benning-
ton, Kans., with explicit orders to have
them shipped so they would arrive at
the Kansas City stock yards the next
day in time for the opening of the mar
kets. The Union Pacific railroad guar
anteed to do this, but allowed the cat
tie to remain in the yards at Benning-
ton too long and the cattle did not arrive
in Kansas City until the stock market
had closed. The cattle were sold the
next day when the market was dull at a
loss of S766.

involved In the Reading strike, and it was

1t is early to suggest names for the
next state democratic ticket; but the
INDEX again wants to call attention to
the advisability of naming Hon. John
a. Eaton, of Winfield as the candidate
for governor. If we want some one
who can discuss the tariff question.
Eaton is the man. If we want some
one who knows and can point out the
need of a new constitution for Kansas,
Eaton is the man. He is regarded as
one Of the ablest constitutional lawyers
III the state, he is practical 6nancier;
a student of political economy and bet
ter than all, he has great head full of
common sense.
