SCORING PETERS.

1t was last week when the Harper
Grand Army men passed resolutions
condemning Congressman Peters fol
endorsing and securing the appoint
ment of civilian" instead of an old
soldier for postmaster at Harper. Last
Wednesday the G.. A. r. post at KiOwa
met and passed the following resolu-
tiOns:
Whereas, We are informed that our repre-
sentative, S. X. Peters, has recommended for
pOstmastors at Harper, Medicine Lodge and
Kiowa civilians, thereby ignoring soldiers, who
we're applicants for said offices; and
Whereas, The following pledge was made at
the national republican convention held at
Chicago, in June, 1888, that the veteran union
soldier should be recognized in the appoint
ment OF civil offices, that said pledge has been
proclaimed and reiterated by every republican
paper and stump speaker, from the township
orator to President Harrison; and
Whereas, These appointments are being made
in this seventh congressional district. giving
the civilians preference over veterans; there
fore
Resolved, That we denounce the action of
our congressman in violating the pledges and
promises made, and protest against the APP
pointment of civilians where soldiers claims
are ignored;
Resolved, That we regard with establishment
the violation of the most sacred promises made
to the veterans of Kansas by the very man, who
received their hearty, loyal support.
Resolved, that we denounce said recommen-
dalton for appointments at Harper. Medicine
Lodge and Kiowa as an outrage upon our COM
rades.
Resolved, that we appeal to Senators Ingalls,
and Plumb to use all honorable means to defeat
the confirmation Of said recommendations.
So, it appears, the old soldiers, like
the farmers of Kansas, are discovering
that something is wrong" For years,
the INDEX has told them what it was,
but they would not believe it. We haye
told them that their votes only were
wanted and it turned out that way.
Last fall, when Judge Hardy and his
friends permitted Senator ingalls, to
again hoodwink them, they showed that
they wanted to be deceived. He had no
idea of supporting Judge Hardy but
the taffy he gave had it's effect and the
old soldier, three hundred strong, again
voted as they shot-gave the entire re-
publican ticket a big majority, put the
party in full power in the county and
that was all they wanted.

There is big split IN the Grand Army
of the Republic in the department Of
Louisiana and Mississippi. Capt. Gray,
district commander, granted charter
to negro post. Tbs white posts OBJ
jected, saying that the organization in
the south would soon show a majority
of negroes, The prediction has been
verified, for since Commander Gray let
down the bars, nine negro posts, with a
membership of $40, have been organized,
while the seven white posts in the two
states show a membership of but 325.
The negro posts were all refused an OPP
portunity to vote in the election OF de-
partment officers, and the whites elected
full set. The negroes seeded, and,
with few whites, elected officers, black
and white mixed, Jacob Gray being
chosen as thsIf commander. The he
gro posts endorse the action of Gray in
attending the funeral of JEFF. Davis,
and acting as pall-bearer. All of this
is occurring in the south--the south
that Senator Ingalls, hates.

TILE .HDGSHIP

Anthony Enterprise (Dem.): 1.-The
Medicine Lodge INDEX quotes the An
thony Journal as being favorable TO
Judge Ellis for district judge. Now,
while we have no crow to pick with the
Journal or republicans as to whom they
may select for their candidate, we want
1t distinctly understood that the next
judge for this district will be a Harper
county man and democrat. Harper
county has been playing second fiddle
on the Judgeship business long enough
and we propose to stop it by electing a
Harper county man."
The Enterprise, no doubt, refers to
Hon. George E. McMahan, of Anthony
He Is favOrably known in Barber coun-
ty as sound lawyer, consistent dem
Ocrat and an honorable gentleman. If
he is the nominee of his party the dem
ocracv of Barber county will give him
hearty support and, very likely, a
nice majority.
Anthony Republican (Rep.): 1.-The
JudgeShlp receives some attention from
a correspondent signing himself I'm
ion" in this issue. AS stated last week
we are in favor of Harper county man
for that place, and there is no SubStan-
tial reason why we should not possess
1t. AS the correspondent says, and as
we said, Harper county is entitled to
the position. Since our last issue, we
have heard considerable talk about this
matter, and now feel perfectly sure that
Harper county man will be agreed on.
In fact no one talks any other way. The
Republican is in no sense unfriendly to
Judge Ellis, and had he not positively
declined to be candidate for re-elect-
ton, and encouraged other attorneys to
stand for the place, he could have sue
ceeded himself without opposition. I'm
der the existing circumstances, we are
unqualifiedly in favor of a Harper coun-
ty man for judge"

The south bound Santa Fe train.
Monday morning, when four miles
north of Derby station, north of Null
Vane, was wrecked, and Roadmaster
Peters, of Newton, was killed. He was
on the engine. At the place Of the ac-
cident there is trestle, several hun
dred feet long, four feet above the
ground All of the wood work of the
trestle had burned out the night before,
leaving the rails supported only by the
fish-plates. The engineer saw the pre-
dicament when ne was almost on the
bridge, and he put on the air brakes.
and jumped, as did the fireman and Mr..
Peters. The latter was caught by the
forward car. and instantly killed; the
engineer and fireman were severely in
jured. The train was made up of three
baggage, mail and express cars, chair
car, smoker and sleeper. All left the
track and were badly wrecked. The
mail agents, expressmen and baggage
men were badly shaken up, but none
badly hurt. No passengers were seri-
ously injured. The passengers were
transferred, and but little delay was ex-
perienced. The dead roadmaster leaves
a wife and eleven children. He was
very popular. 1t Is believed that the
fire which burned the trestie was set by
a tramp VINO had been seen at the tres
Tie the evening before.

The bill for the government of Okla
homa, with an amendment including
No-Man's-Land, passed the senate last
week, and it will probably pass the
house this week. The Cherokee Strip
is not included in the bill, or even re-
ferred to. Itappears, at this distance,
that congress will not open the Strip to
settlement this year, though the asso-
ciated press dispatches from Washing
ton announce that the president has
issued his proclamation ordering the
cattlemen to vacate the Cherokee Strip
by October LIST, 1890.

The Ohio Legislature is working hard

The Ohio Legislature Is working hard
to get through bill re-districting the
state into congressional districts, to do
away with the gerrymanderlng intro
duced by the republicans several years
ago. If the districts are properly laid
off, the democrats expect to gain about
eight congressman. In the meantime,
bill has been introduced in congress
to prevent any state from re-districting
into congressional districts until after
the result of the census of 1890 is known.
