lcl,

February Ith, 1897.
EDITOR INDEX: Early in this month. on one
OF those beautiful Kansas days, pulled out of
Medicine Lodge in respons sc To telegram call
iag me TO this city. On my arrival at Kansas
City it was raining, and it continued to rain all
the way to st. Louis. AT Cincinnati it was
showing, and the ground was white the re-
mainder of the way. I have found no place
that can equal Kansas for beautiful winter
weather. 1t would pay real western person
10 make a trip over the Baltimore and Ohio
road. in southeastern Ohio and through West
Virginia, inst to see the hills and rail fences
There seems to be no section lines. and IL Is
impossible to say where one mans estate ends
and his neighbours begins. The fences run in
every conceivable way, so as to follow the
shape of the hills: for that is the ouly way
fences could be built, unless the rails were
stood on end; yet hills are not without their
advantages. In one instance man had a sim
gle horse hitched to a drag of wood. bringing
1t to the edge of the precipice, where he loosed
the horse from its burden, and let the wood go
on its way toward his home at the bottom
Two young men from Alabama were on their
way to the National Capital; one said he hoped
Washington was not in so billy a country; the
other replied, that he thought Washington was
man of too good judgment TO locate city in
any such place.
There are times when it is a relief to know
that you have reached bottom. So we felt
when going down the east side of the ALLIE
ghany mountains, where you drop 100 feet to
the mile, for II miles, with the snow SCREAMING
beneath the car wheels. and to be entertained
at the same time by the conductor telling how
freight train ran away two days before and
smashed to kindling wood at the foot of the
mountain.
did not stop at Washington, but fastened
on to this great busting, throbbing, rushing
city, where most of the people are going some
where, at least one thinks Sc when pressing
through the crowded streets. 1 saw the ruins
of Hotel Royal before the engines had ceased
pumping water on the mass of wood, brick,
mortar, and the bodies of human beings, all in
one tangled heap.
Mrs. Gains aunt is better. but by no means
well. If all is well hope to return to Medi-
cine Lodge about the last of this month With
kind wishes to all and malice to none, 1 close
this before it grows beyond prop er length.

"a great state is Kansas. Many a
Kansas editor will consume the entire
morning writing an editorial on 'un-
precendented prosperity and then &c
home to a dinner Of cold boiled cabbage
and sorghum" So writes the Wichita
Eagle. And yet the Eagle denounces
the peoples party for telling the truth
about the financial condition of Kansas.
If the sheriff of any county sells 100
farms, the Eagle hastens to say that
100 mortgages were paid off and re-
leased in that county during a certain
month, and then expatiates on thepros-
perity of the state and of the farmer In
particular. A man who is not strong
enough to tell the truth Is not big
enough to be governor of Kansas.

AGNES that he has walked all over
our frame. He accuses us of deSerting
the democratic party. Our accuser
seems to have doIe the same thing.
More than that, heihas joined the old
enemy. The democratic party put up
n ticket and deserted 1t. In thirteen
townships including Medicine Lodge,
there WAS not a good old Jeffersonian
ballot cast Vet there was a host of
shouting "raEsankerousr democrats at
every precinct, working for the repub-
lican ticket. Yes, Judge, we admit we
left the democratic party. We ought
70 have left it before, but we had no
place to go. We rejoiced at the alliance
movement, where we could find a no.
litical home, Now, Judge, since the
democratic party has disbanded, and has
been swallowed by the republican enc

FROM the sadly disappointed manner
OF lachrymose righteousness with which
Blackstone receives and laments the de.
clsion OF the chancellor preventing the

franchising enough Democrats TO secure

wonder that he finds 1t agreeable 70 live
In Delaware where the courts are so nm
Just, so INSCRIPTIONS. so corrupt, 80
ignorant Of law sad so obllvious TO facts,
as not to decide cases TO suit the ext
genoies Of the Republican party. It is a
pity. But when Blackstone remembers
that the Republican attorneys did
not present the proper case ncr use
the proper arguments, in his judgment,
be should feel somewhat Modified aud
reconciled towards the chancellor Con-
sIdering the tremendous argument OF Mr. d.
Bradford. founded on the extraordinary
statement that there might be Fifty
thousand fictitious names on the lists,
and che fact that Mr. Spruance apollo.
gized for the rambling manner In which
his evidently undigested argument was
made, Chancellor Salisbury really did the
best be could. The only REMEDIES we car
suggest are, that, Blackstone should
move up to Connecticut where Governor
Buckley Is holding the fort against 1
majority Of wicked Democrats; or tina
he should emigrate to Vermont or New
Hampshire where the courts are solid,
Republican. When this case Of Bigg
against the Levy Court was in its in
ceptlon we advised Attorney Bradford Z
consult Blackstone. Attorney Bradfor
did not heed the advice; he went hi
own way, and as we expected. Blsckston
jumped upon him and Mr. sprusnse to'
