Why Can't We?

MEDICINE LODGE, July 26TH, 1891.
EpIToR INDEX; Why can't we drop some of
the space devoted to politics in our little pas
per and fill it with ideas of interest and profit,
in the way of articles OF preparing the soil for
wheat-that is of the most importance just
now for our success in Barber county. We
do not want practical paper and book farming
of the east, or south, or north-we want arti-
cles from good common senseexperenced sue
cessful farmers, right here In Barber county.
We must not go wild on wheat, but must de-
vote some room to it, and let us profit by past
experience and make it better, and scoop the
records of the world in 90
Twin give you my little experience with en-
Gle Tom Edes last week: To tell the truth, 1
had never been to see him or his big ranch,
and as he had many times invited me to, and
as had met him IN Medicine Lodge in his
happy long ago or if-yOu-aieage sort of way,
l expected to find his ranch managed in about
the same way, but was happily disappointed.
Everything was to it's place. When ne goes
home 1t is all get up and get. He has a farm
we should be proud of, and il is well managed,
and grand glorious success, as the receipts
will prove. The many Zig wheat stacks filed
with gold viii 90 you good to see. He has a
splendid soil also, all DEVOTED to raising grain
but 1t looked lonesome to me without big fat
steers, pens Of Digs and plump little short.
horn calves. AS soon as hts wheat is stacked
he heads a swath around his fields; plows fur
rows around bis wheat stacks, and sets the
stubble on fire. This idea is right as / had il
proven in my experience this year. Last year
harvested 80 bushels of wheat to the acre on
one field, and plowed under a very heavy cout
of etubble, and sOwed it to wheat again. This
spring when the dry. hard winds blew, the
ground dried out and it only turned out BUSH
els TO the acre The stubble of wheat is hoi-
low, and it kept the ground loose The wind
blew through the ground dried it out. and
ruined my wheat, while if ! had burnt it of, it
would have settled, snd would have bad a
good crop of wheat. Uncle Tom Says IL tie
stubble don't burn he runs a mower over IT
and makes it burn. am satisfied that if /
had burnt OF that stubble, and not have let
my drills run 80 deep. We would have harvest
ed p or 30 bushels instead of only 8
Uncle Tom burns all trash and stubble off;
plows or 4 inches deep; drills 4 Inches deep;
aud k6ens stock OF if a cold winter. The bulb
of the wheat needs the gro TO protect it.
II warm, stock does not hurt it,
Now, brother farmers do not be selfish or
mulish, hut give us your ideas.
Yours truly, Eli BESEDIcT.

WE ACCEPTTHE AMENDMEgT

Sol Miller: Judge W. C. Webb publishes a
long communication in the Topeka Capital in
eisting that Judge Mckay docs not deserve
punishment for his acts, because the state did
not convict Judge Botkn. The point is not wen
taken. Mckay mas been guilty of contempt
OF the supreme court, while Botkin was tried
for contempt of Sam Wood"
"BOtkin was tried for contempt of
Sam Wood" says this Solomon. We
admit that it was contempt of Sam
Wood and of all decency for Botkin to
keep drunk more than half the time.
1t was contempt of Sam Wood to ar
rest and impriSon four men without
any reason except Botkin's order. 1t
was contempt of Sam Wood for Botkin
to rob the treasury of the city of Spring
field even if 1t were keeping up the prac-
tees and traditions of the G. o.p. Yes,
there was great deal of contempt of
Sam Wood IN the above. How do you
like it?

Pearl buttons, which, before the en-
actment of the Mckinley bill, cost the
dealers fifteen cents per gross, now
cost them seventy cents per gross. The
reason of this is, that under the act of
1888 the tax on such buttons was Is
per cent ad valorem and two and one
half cents per line button measure of
one-fortieth of an inch per gross, which
is equivalent to a tax of about $50 per
cent OH some grades. 1t is understood,
of course, that this tax was increased
for the protection of American labor.
1t may not be understood, however,
that there is not pearl button factory
of any consequence IN the United
States; yet such is the fact. These but
tons have been made IN Austria, and
the tax has excluded the lower priced
qualities from our market, the result of
which is that our people are now using
substitutes of various sorts, but all
greatly inferior, for which they are pay
ing higher prices than the genuine ar
ticle would cost without the tax, and
the most peculiar thing about the mat
ter is that the chief substitute is itself
of foreign manufacture entirely. 1t is
said by those who should know the
fact that it is impossible for a manu-
facturer to sell for ten cents dozen do
nestle pearl buttons at all comparable
to the foreign product which sold here
before the passage Of the Mckinley bill
for five cents at retail, but as no one is
attempting to manufacture such but
tons here in large quantities, the price
at which they might be sold Is not of
great moment.

st. Louis Republic: POISONED at a
Picnic-Chicken left in Tin Dishes
Cause Several Deaths" is a head line
over one of yesterdays dispatches.
The dishes were probably coated with
lead instead Of tin. Most of the salts
of lead are deadly poisons, and the
metal itself very easily enters its pois-
1us combinations. With the increased
price of tin plate the public will have
to look out for limitations coated with
lead, which, if used for ice cream freez-
ers, for fruit cans or for holding food
articles of any kind, are liable to be-
come as deadly as if they were coated
with arsenic. When there is case of
poisoning under the Mckinley bill, the
sufferers should at once use very dilute
sulphurlc acid-just enough in buck
ct of water to give it the taste of lem
0nade. This may save them by chang
ing the poisonous salts of lead into the
sulphate. They should then complete
their cure by voting against the Nc.

marked degree when in the presence

entirely responsible for the fact that he
cannot under any circumstances be in

A bantam rooster, writing for the
Cresset, and signing himself as Dem
Ocrat," goes for the INDEX, as he
thinks. The first thing he does is to
prove by the Wichita Eagle, republi-
can paper, that the democratic party is
dead, and then asks, If the democrat
ic party is dead, why should the INDEX
worry ITSELF over a fusion of demo-
Gratis and republicans. Then he goes
on to misinterpret the plain English
language, and say we vilify the dem
ocracy in number of extracts. We
wrote the two first extracts, and we
mean what we say. We deny that there
is anything but good advice, kindly
given. Then the so-called Democrat
descends to the tactics of the Cresset.
and quotes a clipping from the Mis-
souri, World, published on our fourth
page, as miscellaneous matter, and
tries to run it in as an editorial from
the INDEX. This is contemplate
both in the writer and in the Cresset
for allowing such warfare. Then
Democrat speaks of the "Immacu.
late w. e. MusgroVe, who aspires to
boss the alliance and dem ocratic par
ties, and doles out religion to his pets. .
w. G. Musgrove meyer claimed to be
immaculate, and everybody but fools
knows it. He does not aspire to boss
either the alliance or the democracy.
He does not dole out religion, but gives
it out in unst1nted measure, and
the more you get the better he likes it.
Any one who has any idea of religion
would know that. Then he claims we
put up a job on the county and got the
printing. Wha at we're the other four
papers In the county doing, and what
were the county commissioners for?
Did he have word to say last year at
the manner IN which the Cresset got
the printing? Is not Democrat" a
sore-head alliance man, who thought
the organization bully thing while
he made money out of it? And don't he
try to carry water on both shoulders
now.

JUDGE JOHN MARTIN.

Judge Martin, the democratic nom
inee for governor, two years ago, and
one of the brightest men in the state,
attended the democratic state central
committee meeting at Topeka, last
week. A Topeka dispatch says:
HE appeared before the committee
with set OF resolutions which he de-
sired to have adopted, denouncing
trusts and combines, declaring for free
coinage and the government control of
the mediums of transportation and a
plank favoring the farmers In their
fight against corporations. He said, in
explaining his position, that no one
could doubt his democracy and that ev-
cry man who renOunced Metropolitan
for the peoples party was gain to the
democratic party.
The resolutions were killed andJudge
Martins advice ignored. Judge Mar
tin represents large element in the
democratic party which has always
stood by him. 1t is the same wing to
which Judge Nicholson of the Eight
judicial district belongs. Judge Mich
olson was nominated for judge by the
peoples party convention at Junction
City. He is now serving his second
term, having been elected before on an
independent ticket. He was the demo-
cratic candidate for supreme judge last
fall, but is evidently acting with the al
lance now. The stalwart democrats
in his district are inclined to nominate
Judge James Humphrey, ex-railroad
commissioner, against him if the repub-
licans will support him. 1t is evident
that there is large element in the
democratic party which does not pro-
pose 10 take the advice of the demo-
cratic editors and make fight on the
peoples party.
In explaining his position this morn
ing Judge Martin said: l do not think
it is sound democratic policy to fight
the alliance where they are willing to
meet us half way. want independ-
ent democratic organizations in each
county. but if we can combine on
platform which declares for free coin
age, tariff reform and government con-
troll of railways, it is the height of folly
to refuse to do so. All that there is polit-
ic in the Peoples party is democratic.
When the fight is made in 1892 the Peo-
ple's party men must recognize that
either democrat or republican will
be elected. They will not be foolish
enough to batter their heads against a
stone wall just for the fun of the
thing. If the democrats treat them
courteously they will fall heir to their
strength. The republicans have been
battering them over the head and the
two parties are Numerically opposed
to each other. On all economic ques-
tons the Peoples and democratic par
ties are moving along the same line. If
we can combine on state ticket it will
be policy to do so, but the Peoples par
ty must not be too dictatorial and must
meet us on common ground.
What do you think of the action of
the democratic editors?
Part Of their course l approve, but
insofar as their action precludes the
possibility of combination, under cir
cumstances favorable to the democrats,
l am opposed to it,
