THIS IS VAUX.

Washington dispath: ''Mr. Randall's
successor was qualified to-day and took
his seat. Richard Vaux is a pictur-
esque looking character. He is gen.
tlemen Of the old school. His cOpious
hair hangs in magnificent ringlets, over
his coat collar, and his patent leather
pumps, inclosed with broad silk rib
bons, making him picturesque from be-
ginning 70 end. Contrary to general ex-
pectation he was not dressed in swal-
low-tall and brass buttons. He wore
the old fashion bouble-breasted broad
cloth, older than the Prince Albert
style but is much the same order of
architecture. His desk was magnificent
in floral decoration. Vaux is big man
among the Philadelphians, and they
took pains that his entrance to the
house of representative should be prop
erly heralded. The floral designs on
his desk would be sufficient to attract
attention to blm under any circum-
stances, but his own appearance added
to the flowers made a Juror. He was
the observed of all observers. His
conrtly grace and bearing would be OBJ
served even in drawing room, let alone
III the house of representatives. Vaux,
from all accounts, is 2 peculiar charac-
ter. He never uses an umbrella, he
never rides in street car, he never
rides in a steamboat, he never wears an
overcoat. He wears black broad cloth
summer and winter, the coat always
open. He wears patent leather shoes
all the year around, snow or sunshine.
He never wears stocking more than
one day, his stocking are never washed.
They are discarded after one days wear.
Every morning he pulls over his grace
full feet new silk hose, and when he re-
tires at night they are discarded. The
bosom of his shirt and his cuffs are ruff
fled with the finest laces. There are
rings on all his fingers. His neck-tie Is
the large old fashioned black single
knot, and his vest of course is cut low,
showing magnificent expanse of shirt
front. He is by long odds the most
picturesque man in congress and no
person will enter the galleries while he
is member that will not ask who he
is. But he is thorough democrat,
notwithstanding his eccentric appear
ance. He is tariff reformer from the
word go, in perfect accord will Mills
and Carlisle. He can out cuss any
man in Pennsylvania when it becomes
necessary, and there is 10 man in Phil
adelphia who can beat him drinking
fine old sour mash whiskey.

PRINCE HAL.

Col. Jeemes Hallowell, republican
candidate for the congressional nomi-
nation in this district, is not result
missiOnist, it appears, or if he is, he is
afraid to say so in Topeka. The Capt.
tai reporter interviewed him Saturday,
and this is part of his talk:
II am friend of Gov. Humphrey, dating
back to the days when he first came to the
state, and would be slow to criticise him to
anyone. even If thought he was wrong.

entitled to denomination and reelection
what will be the result of the re-submission
movement on the republican party in Sedg-
wick county p
"A large number of republicans are earnest
ly and conscientiously in favor of re-submis-
sion, and ] am of the opinion that some OF
them will bolt the party on the question, but a
large majority of them are republicans 365

He further said he believed that If
the question of prohibition was re- sub
mitted to the people, it would carry by
$4,000 to $4,000 majority.

THE UTDGSHIP.

\ committee composed of Capt. G. j.
Skeen, l.. NJ. Presnell and John Nc
Gregor, appointed by the Barber coun-
ty alliance, went to Harper Tuesday to
confer with the Harper county alliance
on the district judgship. 1t was re-
solved to hold an alliance judicial con-
ventlon at Attica on Friday, July 18th,
1890, to be composed of one delegate
from each surveillance in Harper and
Barber county. The convention at At
tica Will nominate candidate for dis
trict judge.
A delegate who returned to-day said
that it appeared that the Harper county
alliance members are generally for
Judge Ellis. He thought the republic
cans at the Harper convention, July 1,
would nominate Mr.. Love, of Anthony.

The Melting SurDlus.

The surplus, which has caused our
statesmen so much trouble, is rapidly
melting away. Congress is voting away
money out of the treasury at such a
rapid rate that the President is reported
to be alarmed. He fears that the sur
plus will soon become deficit
Does not this reckless use of the pub
lie money grow out of the fact that the
taxation which raises it is disguised in
the form Of a tariff? When a man puts
his hand into his pocket and pays out
his money to the tax collector, he sees
his bills going and it hurts. He knows
exactly how many dollars and cents he
is out of pocket.
But as the National taxes, except on
whisky and tobacco, are raised by duties
on foreign goods, no man knows just
how much he pays to the Government;
and still less does any man know how
much he pays to the protected classes
whose goods ne buys.
If those two facts could be seen and
measured by every man when he buys
tariff-protected goods, we should have
less of extravaganza in Congressman
certainly less or protection. too.

Meeting of June 3.

for the Alliance.
Cooperation to be Secured
Among Stockmen.

Pursuant to adjournment in May, the
Alliance met at the opera house. in
Medicine Lodge, on Monday, June I'd,
and was called to order by President
Lands, at 10 O'Clock.
The roll of delegates was called, and
substitutes allowed seats. Additional
delegates were allowed sub-alliances
whose membership entitled them to the
same.
President Lands, of the bank COM
mittee, stated that the Alliance can
have bank by putting up $4,000. Jer-
ry Simpson, of the same committee,
said that some of the farmers expected
to have capital to put into bank after
harvest. The report was received and
the same committee continued.
The newspaper committee reported
the result of negotiations toward the
purchase, by the Alliance, of the BAR
Der COUNTY INDEX, giving in detail
the approximate value of the concern,
and the amount of business it had done
the past year. The committee suggest
ed the plan of buying the paper by or
ganlziDg joint-stock company, and
then running it in the interest of the
Alliance. Several members reported
that they knew of men who would fur
nish financial aid to the enterprise.
Pending the remainder of the newspa-
per report, an adjournment was taken

and manner of nominating ticket.

Will HAYE a TICKET

The Barber county alliance has de-
cided to place county ticket in the
field to be voted on at the November
election. If present appearances are not
deceptive, this means that the offices
to be filled at the November election
will be filed by the nominees of the al
lance. There appears no doubt about
this organization holding the balance
OF political power in Barber county
politics and if that power is exercised
judiciously we do not apprehend that
the county will be any the worse off.
1t is our belief now that the alliance
will show good judgment in Nominating
a county ticket and that it will put
competent and honest men before the
voters.
1t is generally understood that old
party affiliations are not to be inquired
into in selecting the candidates; but.
everything else being equal, the idea
will be to divide the offices between the
three parties that have heretofore fig
ured in Barber county politics-demo-
cratic, republican and union labor.
The Offices to be filed are: Repre-
sentative, district clerk, probate judge,
county attorney, county superintend-
ent and commissioner from the first
district.
The vote on the question of nominal
ing ticket, in the alliance Monday,
was almost unanimous in the affirma-
tive, there being but negative votes
out of more than 100 cast.
A cOmmittee-One from each sub-al-
liance-wlll decide on the time, place
and manner of making the nOmina
lions.

The republicans last week decided
to hold their state nominating
convention very late-W Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 3rd. This was the decision
of the central committee at Topeka,
last week. The basis of representation
allows one delegate at large from each
county and one delegate for every 400
votes or fractional part over 200 cast
for Elector Ware in 1888. Barber coun-
ty will be entitled to three delegates.
The idea of holding q late convention
was of course to see what the alliance
organization would do. Another srgu-
ment for late convention was that be-
fore september, congress- will have
passed legislation looking to q free
coinage of silver and an increase in the
circulating currency. thus satisfying the
now dissatisfied farmers. 1t is proba-
BILE that by September the farmers will
be so we'll educated ON the tariff
question that republican convention
will be useless and unnecessary.
