CALLING INGALLS,.

Senator Ingalls, has been asked, by
the editor OF the Kansas Farmer, to
publicly state what measures he would
suggest for the relief of the farmers !;
what his position is on the currency,
silver and transportation questions and
what he thinks of the national banking
laws.
1t is not at all likely that Mr.. ingalls,
can eyer satisfy the laborlng classes of
Kansas that he is in sympathy with
them in anything. He has been kept
in the senate by the radical republicans
of Kansas, who exist to hold the offices,
and who, in turn, are kept in office by
working on the prejudlces and passions
OF their partisans.
For thirty years Kansas has lived in
the political past, dating from the John
Brown troubles to the end of the rebel
lion. No republican speech has been
complete in all that time that did not
present the glorious picture of Kansas
as the champion of freedom and abo-
lition.
For thirty years, men of the Ingalls,
kind have fed the Kansas farmers on
such stuff. They too often believed it
would be disloyal to ask for other men
tai food, and so they continued on this
very thin diet-voted for congressman
who received the republican caucus
endorsement toiled through grasshop-
pers, chinch bugs and drouth; sold the
crops for less than it cost to raise them;
stood the tariff robbery, and said it was
protecting American industry-we say
the Kansas farmers did all this, and
thought it was patriotism!
A change is now coming over them /;
the scales are falling from their eyes,
and unless the alliances are captured by
the politicians, there will be such po-
litical upheaval at the fall elections of
1890 as was never before dreamed of in
this state.
Mr.. ingalls, thinks that he can see the
cloud, mo larger than a mans hand, -
for, III answer to recent interview, he
said: Il will be reelected If the Iegis-
lature is republican"
All, there's the rub! 1t will likely
not be republican. Certainly it will not
be if the alliances do their duty, and it
is with the leaders of the movement,
like the editor of the Kansas Farmer,
to say whether they will do their duty.
No mistake can be made in asking
public servants to express themselves
on all public matters. 1t is right that
the masters should know how their SER
wants are carrying out their wishes.
The people are the masters.

at the national convention of repub-
lican clubs, at Nashville, Tennessee,
last week, the following, among other
resolutions, was adopted: "That dis
eliminating preference of Union yet
Grams in appointments to public office,
which is one of the features of this ad-
ministration's just and liberal policy to-
ward the soldiers and sailors who de-
tended the government, meets our
warmest approval" 1t certainly is not
lone of the features of this administra-
ton" when it comes to appointing post
masters in Kansas-in this part of Kan
sas, especially. But, in the vein of Mr..
Blaine, these may be private affairs,
with which the public is not concern
ed" The old soldiers of Barber coun-
ty appear to be concerned, however, or
they would not be kicking so against
the civilians in office.

Senator Stanford, of California, has
introduced resolution in congress di-
recting an inquiry into the ACCESSIBILITY
of the government loaning money, at q
rare Of one or two per cent. interest on
real estate mortgages to farmers, IN
that way getting the money in circula-
ton. There is no probability of con-
gress authorizing such loans. The low
er house might pass such bill, but the
senate is made up Of millionaires and
corporation lawyers, and they will never
adopt measure that will reduce the
income of the money-lenders in the
east. If the government were to so
into the farm-loan business, the surplus
capital in the New England states, now
invested in western farm mortgages,
would remain idle, and that would new
er do. Senator Stanford himself is rated
as worth twenty millions of dollars,
and there is no probability that he will
ever loan a dollar for iesg than the usual
market price OF money. The best way
to get money in circulation is to stop
rpbblng the people.

better speaker than we had expected to
hear. Whether he is right or wrong

Smith and Flora Jones, after burning
midnight oil for many nights, discussing
the grave problems of life, concluded,
on last Wednesday to settle the matter
for all time, and accordingly, about S
O'Clock, p. M, they called at the resi-
dence of George E. Kellogg, in Hazel
ton, a justice of the peace, and after
stating their case, and presenting their
written authority, endorsed by Probate
Judge Edwards, Mr.. Kellogg promptly
performed the ceremony making them
husband and wife. We extend best
wishes to the young couple. and hope
they may enjoy long and happy life.
-. "A committee from the different al
liances in this vicinity waited on our
business men Wednesday, and request
ed them to submit propositions on Sat
urday, giving the lowest margin for
which they would handle goods for the
alliances. The merchants and business
men, after considering the matter, con-
Guided that they were already doing
business on as small margin as they
possibly could, and live, and that it
would be financial death to them to at
tempt to do any better. Therefore they
did not submit any bids, but will con-
tirue to sell goods to the alliance, or
any of their other patrons, at the lowest
price possible, and Will try to treat all
alike, whether they are organized OF
not. Jesse Seaman and Theresa Cor
win concluded to profit by the Smith
Jones example, and were married last
Thursday night. May their pathway
be strewn with flowers, and their joys
far exceed their SORROWS. DIR. Erwin

AGAINST OLD SOLDIERS.

Our neighbor, the Cresset, is inclined
to hold one of the editors of the INDEX
responsible for the old soldier resolu-
tons, though we knew nothing about
them until they were adopted, we being
out of town. And now, as consolation
for those civilians" who are holding
down Offices to which the old soldiers
are clearly entitled, we will publish the
views of Senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, who, it appears, thinks
that civilians really are entitled to some
of the loaVes and fishes. Writing to an
old soldier who protested against the
treatment accorded old soldiers, Sena-
tor Chandler says "You say: There
is strong feeling that. other things
being equal, those who helped to save
this nation are entitled to proper con-
sideration for the places of honor and
profit. You are well aware that our
party cannot afford 10 ALLEVIATE any of

Needed To all of this statement 1
agree except to the proposition that in
every case veteran should have pref
erence over a young civilian. Although
the rule giving prefer ence to q soldier
over a civilian who was old enough, and
might have gone to the war if he had
chosen to do so, may well be maintain
ed. it will not do to enforce such pref
erence against all the Young men who
had no opportunity to become Union
soldiers. Twenty-Five years ago the war
closed; and the boys who were born the
next year thereafter have now been vo-
ters for three years. The boys who were

"A years old now, There are doubtless
1000, 600 republican voters who are un-
der that age, and who could not have
served as soldiers. Is no one of those
voters to be allowed to hold any Office

do not think the surviving Union SOL
diers of the war would for moment
think of setting up any such claim; or
that you really mean deliberately to
advocate it. We cannot, in a
friendIu contest for Office between wal
veterans and a young republican of
35 years, decide against the latter on
the ground that he 'can wait" II we

into the Eext century, to enjoy hOnors
