TEN YEARS OLD.

The BARBER COUNTY INDEX is ten
years old with this issue, it having been
started in 1880. Next week the paper
will start in on volume No. IL. There
are several subscribers on our books
who commenced with volume No. /,
and they are likely to remain subscribers
for many years yet. The paper has at
all times and under all circumstances
battled for Barber county and Medicine
Lodge. 1t has never lost heart in it's
work and without boasting, believes
that it has done much more good than
harm. To-day the INDEX does not owe
a dollar. it has good business, its edi-
tors and proDrietors are we'll satisfied
and they will continue as in the past
to conduct clean, readlble, reliable
newspaper.

MR.. CLEVELAND AND THE
FARMER'S ALLIANCE.

A few weeks since, j. A. Hill, cor
responding secretary of Oak Grove
lodge, No. %, Farmers Alliance, near
Steubenville, Ohio, wrote to Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, enclosing a copy of the
declaration of purposes of the alliance
ing is Mr.. Cleveland's reply:
NEW YORK, March "a, $780,
DEAR SIR: have received your letter &C
comDanied by a copy of the declaration of
principles of the Farmers Alliance. 1 see
nothing in this declaration that cannot be full
ly endorsed by any man who loves his country,
who believes that the object of his government
should be the freedom, prosperity and happi-
ness of all our people, and who believes that
justice and fairness to all are necessary con-
ditions to its useful administration.
1t has always seemed to me that the
farmers of the country were especially inter-
ested in an equitable adjustment of our tariff
system. The Indifference they have shown to
that question. and the ease with which they
have been led away from a sober consideration
of their needs and their rights as related to this
subject, have excited my surprise.
Struggle as they may, our farmers must con-
Ilnue 10 NC anu VI 0uul-
berless things enhanced in cost by tariff regu-
lations. Surely they have the right TO insist
| that this cost shall not be increased for the
purpose of collecting unnecessary revenue or
| to give undue advantage to domestic manu-
facturers. The plea that infant industries
need the protection which impoverishes the
| farmer and consumer IS in view of our nation
al advantages and the skill and ingenuity Of
| our people, hollow pretext.
Struggle as they may, our farmers cannot
| escape the conditions which Ak the price OF
what they produce according to the rates
| which prevail In foreign markets. flooded with
the competition of countries enjoying a freer
exchange of trade than we. The plausible
presentation of the blessing of a home market
should not deceive our oppressed and impov
erished agriculturists. There is no market fol
them which does not take its Instructions from
the seaboard; and the seaboard transmits the
word of the foreign markets.
Because my conviction that there should 'bt
a modification of our tariff laws rose principal
ly from an appreciation of the wants OF the
| vast army of consumers, comprising our farm
ers, our artisans and our workingmen, and be
| cause their condition has led me to protest
| against present impositions, l am especially
glad to see those sections of my fellow-coun
trymen arousing themselves to the import
ance of tariff reform. Yours very truly,
GROVER 0LgvELAND.

There is considerable complaint about the
dry weather. Crops are all right, but it is too
dry to plow sod. or even to pillow stubble land to
any advantage. Corn. wheat and oats are all
right without rain for a week or ten days yet.
Last Wednesday evening Mrs. Betty and her
little girl, about four years old, and Mrs. Whal-

became frightened and ran away, upsetting
the buggy on an S-strand barbed wire fence,
Mrs. Betty was badly cut on both arms. and
received cuts from the wire. The little girl
was hung on the wire by her arms, and re-
mained there until help arrived. One arm
was badly cut. Mrs. Whallon received Injuries
in the back and hips, from the fall. The buggy
was almost wreck.

statement of facts in which he said that many
of the best temperance men and christian gen.
tlemen OF Lawrence had petitioned the
governor to commute the sentence and the
case being peculiar one, he had promptly.
Rev. Miner did not think that the governor
was much to blame as the people who signed
these petitions for the Communication of the
Lawrence man. People should be more par
ticular about signing petitions.
Colonel D. w. Houston, of Garnett, did not
think that the governor should be censured
| for his aceion in the matter.
Mr.. Diggs. OF Lawrence, criticized the gov
ernors action and said Conn's sentence was
committed because he was a man of social and
financial standing.
Mrs. F. Il. Rastan offered the following
amendment: I'VE urge the people not to
hastily sign petitions and ask the governor not
to grant petitions without giving time for the
filing of protests
Rev. X. Wake offered the following which
was adopted:
THAT in the opinion of this convention the
law permitting The exercise of the exective
clemency shall provide that this prerogative
shall not be exercised until after public adver-
tisement of the pendency of such action"
Isn't such rot" as that calculated to
uioSuo0 AOACoO pIOAllU1IlOulSLS duu COIl-
sistent temperance men? No one
doubted COnn's guilt, but because he
was a man of ''social and financial
standing" because of the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case" because
many of the best temperance men and
christian gentlemen of Lawrence had
petitlOned the governor TO commute the
sentence, " the governor granted the par
don and the temperance union said the
governor did right and laid the entire
blame on the people who ask for the
pardon
Does anyone believe that if Conn had
been an ordinary poor man with no So
cial or financial standing that the par
don would have been grantedp Not
much. He would have served out his Jail
sentence and 1.-The best temperance men
and christian gentlemen of Lawrence
would have ever afterwards referred to
him as the convicted ''jointest." Now
they can slip into the EldrIdge house
and get their quiet drinks from Mr..
Conn and neither he nor these best
temperance men will have any fear of
the other reporting the matter to the
grand jury or the prosecuting attorney.

POLITICS IN PROHIBITION.

1t is a settled fact that the republican
officials of Kansas do not intend to
punish anyone high up in business or
social circles for violating the prohibit
tory law. A case occurred last week in
the God and Morality town of Lawrence
that conclusively proves our assertion.
NJ. Conn, proprietor of the EIdridge
house at Lawrence, was convicted of
selling liquor contrary to law. A hard
fight was made for him; the influence
of the best people in Lawrence was ex-
erted to save him from conviction, but
it availed nothing and NJ. Conn was
convicted, fined 500 and sentenced to
thirty days Imprisonment in Jail. This
occurred at IL o'clock on Thursday.
May 18th. 4 delegation of prominent
citizens at once got on the train and in
an hour they were in Topeka. begging
Coy. Humphrey for pardon for NJ.
Conn. At 8 o'clock the governor giant
ed their request and at O'Clock NJ.
Conn walked out OF the Lawrence jail
free man.
The Kansas State Temperance On
ion was in session at Topeka when the
Conn case came up; but the members
knew nothing Of it until the pardon had
been granted. Then the union feltvery
greatly outraged and appointed COM
mttee to confer With the governor
The subsequent proceedings of the tenn
perance union is told in the Topeka Capt.
tai, of Saturday, as follows:
Rev. R. Wake presented the report Of the
committee as follows:
They report that they were courteously ac-
corded an interview by the governor OF the
state and after having been by him placed in
possession of the facts which led TO the action
complained Of and having duly considered the
same beg to report that considering the peCu-
liar circumstances OF the case there is nothing
therein which calls for the action of this con-
vention.
In submitting the report, Mr.. Wake made 3

California has been called the Citrus

Saturday, a resolution was passed re-

Senator Ingalls,, believing that such
resolutions was the result of the want
of information as TO the grand record

regrets the action of the alliance. But

Oyer in Missouri. the state alliance
lecturer, MIR. Hall, concluded a lecture
on the subject OF cooperative stores as
follows: Il have no use for the dema-
gogue who goes around over the coun-
try advocating the theory that the
thieves are all in town and the honest
men all IN the country. The retail mer-
chants are not your enemies. Where
there is competition among country re-
tail merchants you will find no trusts or
combines to take advantage of you.
Everywhere / have been l have found
spirit of competition existing among
retail merchants, cutting down prices
and undertaking each other through
the columns of the newspapers or print
ed hand bills, all bidding for your
trade. In seventy -four counties have
travelled over, have failed to find a
combine among retail merchants. If
we drive every store out of town but the
one we patronize, we will have built up
trust. If we organize over the coun-
try against men who have not organized
against us, we will be a trust-breedine
instead of trust-breaking organiza-
tion. Let us not make enemies of men
who are engaged in legitimate bust
ness. but keep after the trust and unite
for the welfare Of our common coun-
try
