Cattle Barous Barred


From the Lawrence Journal.
The cattle barons. whatever that
may mean, Will, it IS said, wage war
against the opening of the strip. 1t is
hard to see Just why they should. They
are virtually barred out of that country
now. and while few cattle are there,
yet it is extremely periIous work, and the
men who handle them make little or no
money. 1t is utterly impossible for them
to ever again have the strip for grazing
land as they had it once. for with the
agitation IN reference to the matter con
gress would not dare TO recede In its &C
ton. II VIII be better for all concerned
to have the strip opened without delay.

The circumstance that Jewish rabbi
opened the proceedings of congress with

taken by some as indicative Of the sub

that are goinS on in different localities

An Independent Endorsement.
From the Kansas Cav Star


1t is gratifying to note in the Kansas
dispatches that Mr.. George l.. Douglass
of Wichita Is gaining strength among
his party representatives as Il candidate
for speaker. This qualification IS not so
much on Mr.. Douglass personal account
as for what he represents. He was in
the legislature two years ago as an Gin
dependent Republican" He refused to
be bound by any caucus, and spoke out
in meeting for his convictions. Many
of the old line, John Brown, Abraham
Lincoln, Grant and Garfield Republicans
affected to despise young Mr.. Douglass
for his independence; but he had the
confidence of the people, and it is en-
couraging to see independence recog-
nized now among Kansas Republicans.
1t speaks volumes for the future of the
party and the state.

That Would stop 1t, Quick.

From tho tort Scott MONITOR
1t was General Grant who gave the
order, when he heard that the rebels
were shooting Union officers when cap
tured in command of colored troops, that
fifteen rebels should be shot for every
Union man killed after surrendering.
This order had the desired effect. Now
if the Alliance senate persists in contest
ing aud unseating every Republican
senator who don't happen to have a
thousand majority, the Republican house
should carry out the spirit of General
Grants famous order by applying it TO
the Alliance members of the house.
There are plenty of Alliance members of
the house whose right TO their seats IS
anything but absolute.

shat it will cost him $1,000 to make the
contest, and the further fact that he viii

cided that a county attorney does not
necessarily need to be q lawyer, so long
as he employ legal talent to assist him.
This decision will make clear the tenure
of office for good many county attor-

barred therefrom. And it will increase
the expense account in the counties that
have such. The fees for legal assistance
will amount to more than the attorneys

Bank Commissioner johnson says that
ten western states, including Kansas,
have forty-three million dollars more
invested in banks and loan companies
than either the middle, southern or Pa
cific states. The statement is no doubt
correct, but that does not signify that
these western states have as much
money as they need. A great deal more
active capital is required to do the larger
volume of business. Taking the state
ment for true, in view Of the situation
referred TO, it is one of the strongest ar
guments for an increase in the volnme
Of the currency.

Nurses Instead Of Missionaries.

Nurses Instead Of Missionaries.
Miss Collins, a Maine girl who has
been out among the Dakotas az a
miss onary. says the way to civilizs
the Indians is by nurses rather than
by preachers and teachers. Instruc.
tions in the care of the sick, the nat
ure of disease and the proper use OF
medicine releases them from the
influence of the "medicine man." It is
these who, working on the supersti-
tious minds OF the Indians, are the
greatest obstacles to their civilization.
The Indians have been peculiarly sus-
%ceptible to epidemic diseases, which
have created greater ravages than
war and priyation combind. Miss
Collins instances an epidemic of meas
les in which cleanliness and nursing
saved every life but that of q child
whose grandmother was a medicine
woman. When the influence OF the
medicine man is gone as a healer
of the body he has lost his power as a
spiritual director and the Indians
mind is open to the words of the
Christian teacher and preat her.-N.

New YORK, Aug. president Samuel
Gompers, Of the American Federation OF
Labor, said to-day it was more than likely
that the American Federation of Labor, co.
900 strong. would boycott the steel made
by Andrew Carnegie at Homestead and 9TH
er places. This means that every employer
who used Carnegie steel will be blacklisted
and the union men in his employ will BE-
called out on a strike. 1t VIII practically
paralyze big building operations all over
the country if what MI. Gompers says act
ually comes to pass. 1t will put a stop to
railroad building, as the Carnegie works
manufacture q large part Of the steel rails
used in this country. It will also put q stop
to all government buildings. MIR. Gompers
said:
