Mr.. UoHr Attacks the Presidents HnWa'
liam Policy in tho Senate.
WAsmNaToS, Dec. 2O.-When the
senate met this morning the vice presi'
dent laid before it the report to the
secretary of the treasury of the state of
finances and it was referred to the COM
mittee on finance. Senator Hoar (Mass.)
presented unique petition on tho sub
ject OF good roads. The petition, which
he said was signed by about 100, 900 citi-
zens OF the United States, required the
efforts OF several employees to wheel the
immense petition into the senate. Mr..
Hoar stated thst the petitioners had
caused very thorough investigation to
be medo and had ascertained that enor-
nous savings could be effected in the
transaction OF commerce by an i'm
provement in the character Of the
roads. The petition, he said, was
signed by sthe governors OF seventeen
states, by many state officials, and in
Massachusetts was indorsed by the leg
islature.
The petition was referred to the COM
mittee on interstate commerce.
Mr.. CoclSrell (Dem. Mo- introduced
bill to secure aerial navigation and
added that il that could be secured it
would dispense with the necessity for
so many good roads. Laughter.
Then Mr.. Hoar (Rep. Mass address,
ed the senate upon the Hawaiian ques-
ton. He said he would devote himself
to an American question. Who was the
United States Of America? The Presi-
dent, in undertaking to decide the Ha-
waiian question and to withhold from
the people what no was doing until it
was settled one way or the other, seem
ed to have supposed that be was the
United States OF America and whatever
that pretense meant it was but q syno-
nym for him. The question now was
whether the people OF the United States
were living under constitution or
dictator.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hoar's re-
marks, Mr.. Morgan. chairman oil the
committee on foreign relations, offered
the following resolution:
"Reso'ued, That the committee on for
eign relations shall inquire and report
whether and, If so, what Irregularities
have occurred in the diplomatic or
other intercourse between the United
States and Hawaii in relation to the re-
cent revolution in Hawaii, and 10 this
end said committee is authorized to
send for persons and papers and to ad-
minister oaths to witnesses"
MIR. Morgan explained the resolution
and it was agreed to.
Several bills were taken from the cal
endar and passed, including the follow
ing:
Napoleon ]. 7. Dana, placing him on
the retired list.
The urgent deficiency bill.
The joint resolution offered hereto
fore by Mr.. Morgan for the appoint
ment Of joint committee of three sem
ators and three members OF the house
to examine and report to Congress as
to tho condition OF tho Nicaragua mara
time canal, was taken up and agreed to.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration OF executive business, after
which it adjourned till tomorrow.

His MOther.in-laW.

Wichita Eagle. A lively time was
had out at Dodge City last Sunday
night. a lOnghaifd cadaverous spirit
ualistic crank who has been stopping
in Wichita giving SeanceS, has been
working the town and doing bigger
land Office business than Dick Walker
OF Wichita, in his balmieSt days. Be
materialized the dead relatives of the
community at one dollar head. A
lot of 1.-THE boys captured a wildcat
in trap and determined to give the
splrltualISt benefit" So last Sunday
night they managed to smuggle the cat
into the mediums room and hid it in
the wood box. That night there was
an extra sized audiance although the
operator appeared somewhat distrust-
full of so large a delegation of un-
believers. The conspirators behaved
themselves, however, in so exemplary
manner that all went smoothly until
the time came for the medium to 90
into trance, turn out the lights and
"materialiZe." When the apartment
was IN perfect darkness, and the hitch
ing up of chairs on the part of gray old
goats and green young gOatesses had
begun, the boys kicked over the wood
box and the cat started OH the YER
million war-path. Eye, or rather
witnesses of the affair, say that the
battle of Gettysburg wasn't a marker
to it. For the next five minutes the
air was full of boot-heels, hair-pius,
furniture and cuss words. The very
first dash the animal made in the dark.
it landed on the Mediums bald head
then swiped the wig off the fellow who
started the singing, carooned on the
collar button of book agent, took a
SCOOP under the hoops of the school
marin, and rolled under the sofa with a
fat woman, all the time yelling like
Pintes chasing stage in head of
time. Then it banged out of the win
dow, carrying the entire sash with it.
When the riot let up little, somebody
struck light. The gang then upend-
ed thu medium, who had lost one ear
and the top of his nose, and angrlly de-
manded what he meant by this outrage.
Brethren" gasped the materiaIizer.
as he folded the table cover around his
busted garments, don't blame me for
this. That was the spirit of my first
wIfe'S mother.

Where are those promises of the
democratic leaders that prompt action
will be taken OH the Cherokee strip!
The people demand action or something
will drop" Do YOU see? It's a shame
and disgrace that the plain demands
IF the people should be compelled to
await the dilatory pleasure OF few
politicians. The people are demanding
an opportunity TO acquire homes and
that demand is superior to all minor
considerations. Senator PETER is not
far from wrong, when he says, the
government should proceed to open
this territory and compensate the Indians
in damages IN tie future. If it be proven
that damages exist. Will some body
actP VIII congress act? Or shall We
have four years more Of the disgrace
full inactivity that characterized the
last session of congress?

New Years Greeting.

In this, our first issue of the New
1ear. the INDEX desires to thank its
many friends for the encouragement
and patronage they have given us. We
suppose, at times, our issues have been
unsatisfactory to our readers. at Ieas,
they have been so to us. But at al,
times, we have remained strictly true
TO the best interests of the cause or
causes we advocate, rega: dless of the
course others might take. We have, at
times in self-defense and in defense of
our friends, been forced INTO unpleas-
ant recriminations with our political
opponents. But we suppose that has
become an essential part of American
journalism; and we kindly throw the
mantle OF charity about them and say
1.-The Lord forgive them for they know
not what they do" or at least their po-
lltlcal affiliations are such that they
cannot help it. We have sometimes
been compelled to differ with our
friends; and while some have been IN
tolerant and bitter because we dared to
assert the independence of our own con-
yictions, all true friends, we are pleased
to say, have taken such differences in
good faith and with kindness. Wheth-
er right or wrong in our own convic-
lions, we have left our critics no
ground to charge cowardice or unfai1-
ness, as we have on several occasions
offered the use of our columns to all
sides of questions of immediate inter
est. We realize thai it is not in petty
chickering's, and unfair criticism and
technical fault-hnding that the ad-
vancement of truth consists but in a
fair consideration of every phase of eE-
cry question. During the remainder Of
the winter we shall make special eff
fort to keep our patrons informed of
the proceedings of congress according
to the congressional record, and also by
special correspondence from Topeka. to
review and forecast the actions of the
state legislature.
Politically, we remain where we have
always been. In favor of the debtor, as
against the creditor; in favor of the
toiler and producer as against the spec
ulator and gambler; IN favor of the peo-
pie against corporatiOns;ln favor of the
westas against the goldocracy of the
east; in favor of Kansas against the
world; in favor of the peoples party as
long as it remains true and loyal to its
declared principles; IN favor of Fair Co
lumbla's rights, independence and
good name as against the nations of the
earth.
In conclusion, we would remind our
readers, that money makes the paper
go, and it will improve in proportion to
the liberality of its support. We are
seeking not to get rich at the expense
Of our patrons, but to live and give
them the best paper clrcums tances and
our limited ability will permit

Advices from different nortions

Advices from different portions of
Europe are that cholera is raging again
in those districts so terribly scourged
during last summer. There is only one
thing left for this country to do in the
matter, and that is for congress to i'm
mediatelv pass some measure restrict
ing immigration or no mortal can tell
what next year will bring forth. There
is no reason for any pane, but there
is trnlv great reason for early and de-
cisive action on this question of safety
to American people. AS to any steps
being taken to stop this over whelming
inflow of foreign immigration being a
detriment to the coming Worlds Fair.
we do not think there need be any fears
on this point, as the class who come
over as immigrants, and who expose us
TO the greatest danger from disease are
the lower class, who would not benefit
the country by attending the Worlds
Fair, and their exclusion, would en-
courage more of the better and wealthy
people of Europe and other countries
to attend, as they would not then be
compelled to mingle with such horde
of low and filthy human beings, bearing
the germs of every disease that this
world is heir to. Let congress enact a
measure of this nature and then with
proper sanitary precautions a great
epidemic may be avoided in this LAND
which with the Worlds Fair to scatter
1t into every neighborhood throughout
the country, next year, would he direful
in the extreme.

Have You n Cancer,

If you have, we invite your attention
to the work of Mrs. Mary T. Straw, OF
Medicine Lodge. Kansas. She COM
pounds her own medicine, and can
guarantee cure if cure is possible. She
can produce abundant proofs of her
work up0n application. Among others
she would mention a recent case of Mrs.
Christian Donaldson, of this city, who
had started on her finger one of the
worst kind of rose cancers. The can
Ger was removed. but completely un-
covered the joint requiring amputation.
She also makes medicines for all
Kinds of telons and chronic sores.

ChicAIO'S Shamp.

Chicago has more than twenty thous-
and children outside school doors this
winter, in the poor wards,'' for whom
no school slttlngs are provided. Chicago
has no place to put little boys and girls
who are arrested, except among
of correction, and no juvenile court to
try them in proper manner for such
offences as they may have committed
or stand with. Chicago has hundreds
and hundreds of children who never
received the ground of an English
education who are earning their living
as cash boys and girls, in factories, ano
in sweat shops.
In view of these facts, which bone
can deny, let who will of Chicago's
citizens take pride in the seat of learn
ing this city is becoming, because of
the University of Chicago, and all the
educational conditions and oppor-
tunities it brings here. True civic
pride in Chicago as an educational
center, no intelligent man or woman
can really feel unchallenged, while
thousands of the citY's children are
turned from the doors of it's primary
schools, to cover in tenement house
misery, to stunt body and mind in work
unsuited to their years, or to drift about
the streets and from the streets grav-
itate inevitably, sooner or later, into
penal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
