MIR. McNeal last week offered himself
as living sacrifice for the amusement
of the editor of the INDEX. We will
try to appreciate his disinterested kind
ness, as the grass begins to fade; and
when other subjects fail to furnish
copy, will pull the string on HIM. He
seems to be fuddIed on the money cues
ton, and gets two plain. simple, truth
full sentences mixed: Il he peoples par
ty does not claim that anything is a eza
tender that Will pay debts" OF course
not. You can pay debt with corn ~
wheat, but they are not legal tender
Anything is money which is q legal
tender. A legal tender IS that which
'Gilt pay debts" We don't see how he
can fail to understand this. The green.
back was moneg because it was a legaI
tender; it paid debts because it was a
legal tender. Silver is money, yet il
will not pay certain debts, because Mr.
McNeal's party has taken from it the
legal tender backing to which it is en-
titled. And the greenback. which was
the best money we ever had, is being
robbed of its power by the gold clause
We think the explanation plain enough
for school boy to understand, but we
remember that none are SO blind as
those who will not see.''

Poor old Indianal The home of Har-
rison, the headquarters of all political
rascality, where political "soap" is the
only kind in use, where 'blocks-
olive entitle man to the highest
honor, where hypocrisy is a religion,
and white caps are indigenous to the
soil. Last Saturday, at Mentor, near
indianapolis, a woman was tied to 4
tree, ana her naked body dashed with
hickory switches til she was gashed
from head to heel. The white caps
then left her, tied, and sent one Of her
neighbors to the place to release her.
Kansas may occasionally hang horse
thief without trial; Nebraska may kill
a man in order to start grave yard,
but you may boil Kansas and Nebraska
take the scum and skim it again, and
YOU can't find a crowd that Is SO low
down and lost to all shame and decen-
CIV as to take woman from her own
nome, strip, tie and lash her,
and then go away leaving her to the

MRS. LOGAN SIZES THEM UP

Mrs. John A. Logan In an interview
said: II take but little interest in poll
tics compared to former years, when
my husband was senator from Hi
nois."
Whom do you regard as the most
prominent candidates for president
among the republicans?"
II could scarcely venture an opinion.
One thing is certain. We have no great
leaders such as developed during the
war. We have men of moderate ability
and less honesty who overlap all bounds
of public patriotism in their ambitious
schemes for self. 1t is such men as
these who are rapidly disintegrating a
great party, and if they do not see the
folly ct their ways, unite on a candi-
date and support him afterward. the
democratic party will triumph"
'You think the democratic party has
the best chances for winning then?"
No; did not say so. If we can find
candidate who can harmonic all the
elements, the republican party will still
be the party uppermost, but we must
have more political honesty and less
wrangling, or farewell to our hopes"

WHAT Do .THEY BELIEVEg


The Cresset of last week says: LET
the republicans oppose free coinage of
silver until that metal reaches a par
with gold" According to republican
doctrine that means forever. McKin-
ley says the free coinage would drive
gold from this country. The two ex-
pressions above seem plain and easily
understood. We now want to refer to
the past, and see what the republicans
wanted last year.
The republican state platform Of last
year contains the following: 1.-THE
practical operation Of the silver act
now in force, recently passed by a re-
publican majority, and opposed by a
democratic minority, in both houses Of
congress, is rapidly increasing the val
ues of silver. 1t is good step in the
right direction, and the Republicans Of
Kansas demand free coinage of silver, a
measure strongly and vigorously oppos-
ed by the late democratic admins
tration, led by Grover Cleveland"
That seems TO be plain endorsement
OF free coinage. Can the republicans
of this county harmonic the two fac
lions. We look over the platform of
the republican party of the Seventh
district OF Kansas, and
find the following: I'VE favor the
free and unlimited coinage of silver"
The county platform steered clear of
the silver question. Now we would
like for somebody to tell us what the re-
publicans of Kansas do believe in re-
gard TO the coinage of silver.
And while they are at it, please tell
what the real sentiment of the republi-
'an party is on the prohibition ques-
ton.

If wheat was worth 81 per bushel.
and farmer should deposit 100 bushels
in sub-treasury, and get so per cent,
he would get $50. If he should spend
that money, could he not sell his ware
house receipt for $50, less the cost of
handling, storage and insurance? OF
course he could, and the holder of the
receipt could take it to the warehouse
pay back the $50, the costs and insur-
ance, and get 100 bushels of wheat. We
don't see where it is possible for the
farmer to lose his 20 per cent, nor
where it is possible to add double
the value OF the wheat to the
circulating medium.

MILLIONALRES AND PAUPERs

AT one time during the war 500, 900
in gold would purchase 1886, 900 in
greenbacks and these greenbacks could
be converted at par into 1926, 600 in
bonds, bearing six per cent. interest in
gold. These bonds deposited with the
U. 5. Treasury as basis would secure
SIZE, 600 in currency, which at that time
could be loaned at 10 per cent. This
made an interest bearing capital OF
1851 900 on the investment of 100000.
The gold interest on the bonds would
be ST., 100 per annum in gold. The in.
terest on the currency $27 800. A total
of S44,7OO per annum for the use OF
100000. And still people ask how it is
that we have such large crop of mil.
lionaires and paupers.

The anti-sub-treasury people seem to
think that everything the farmer raises
must 60 into the sub treasury. Let
them consider that it farmer raises
100 acres of corn he is apt to need sixty
acres for his own stock. If all the small
wheat raisers in Kansas, who have to
sell half of their crop as soon as it is
made. had some place to store the crop,
and get so per cent. of it's value, they
could pay their pressing debts, and not
be forced to sell at low prices, and slump
the grain market, and keep the prices
down. The large wheat raisers would
keep their wheat IN the stack, as they
do now, knowing that the market was
steady, and would remain so. They
could take their time to thresh and sell.
