Many of the people Of the eastern part of

patriotic and non-political in character, and
were generally appreciated. The music was
very good. On our return, we were passed
by conveyance containing Elder Aaron
Tatum who is recently from Florida. with his
sister, Elizabeth Brown, whom he had not
seen for thirty years. Mrs. Brown has been
long and favorably known here, as kiud-
hearted christian woman; a member Of the
Baptist church, and leader In much of the be-
nevolent work of the church. Uncle Billy
Brown could not leave his farm, that day, so
his wife went in company with her brother,
and as they passed US. we could well imagine
they were talking of times long since passe !;
when they were children, living under the
same parental roof, and when they listened to
the same prayers offered up by their now very
aged parents. On last Sunday, a vast audience
assembled at the Baptist tabernacle to hear
Elder Tatum. In the evening, Elder Ttlbury,
the pastor, preached good discourse. 1t was
announced that Elder Tatum will preach at

MEDICINE LODGE, KAs., June ".
Ed. INDEX: / understand that some
good populists are favoring fusion with
the democrats. Are we not losing
sight of principle to fuse2 1 recollect
when the republican party came into
power, they went in on principle the
same as We will, if we stay in sthe
middle of the road"
AS for my part, would as soon have
stalwart republican on my ticket, as
stalwart democrat: but If fusion must
come, let us have the ring-masters Of
all parties, democrats republicans, and
populists, whack up even all round;
march under the banner of, mo COM
mon people need apply" and keep step
to the Vanderbilt tune of 1.-The people
be -" mot blessed). L don't believe
you can get the old union laborites In
on fusion. They had their stomach s
full of fusion, when the union labor
candidates all withdrew but two, and
the democrats promised the U. l.. CEN
trail committee to stay with those two
men, ii they would ill out their ticket
with democrats. The record shows
that they scratched off the u. l.. men,
and put on republicans. Once fooled
is enough for those fellows. Say, Mr..
fusion populist, did you ever observe
that you never recognized the U. L..
fellows with county Office, while they
furnished the populists with more than
one-third of their votes? The old
greenbackers and union labor men are
the pioneers in this movement. They
fought for those principles long before
there was any office in sight. Suppose
you recognize those fellows little, as
they do in other counties. Quit fusing
with the enemy. Now. Mr.. Editor, if
this escapes the waste basket, it will
be continued if the occasion demands.
OBSERVER.
In regard to the last clause, we desire
to say to Mr.. Observer and all other
observers, that as long as communica-
tions come from friends, and even from
those who are not friends, as long as
W. OOAAS'N UAOhA W WO W
accommodate them if we can.
We have heard few criticisms, and
unkind and unreasonable ones, for ad-
uniting articles written by men whom
we know to be better populists and
truer men than those who criticised the
articles. For the hide-bound set of
populists who are afraid to have any
opinions expressed that do not agree
with their own, we desire to say that
truth does not hide out" from fair
discussions. The only way to get at
the truth is to hear all sides of propo.
sltion fairly discussed. Because pop
ulist brother does not agree with you
on some minor question of policy, is no
excuse for taking up the Ratchet, put
ting on the war paint and proceeding
to read him out of the party. You
can't do 1t. The chances are he is more
loyal than you are to our fundamental
principles. We want our readers to be
free to communicate with each other
through the columns of the INDEX,
whether their views be popular or not.
We are for free speech and fair play.

In MemOrium.

Death, stern servant of Gods I'm.
changable law, has once more invaded
our midst, and removed our beloved
brother. J. R. Young. With sorrow
we submit to the inevitable, but not
without hope, for our Supreme Master
said, HE that believeth on Me. though
he were dead. yet shall he live."
To the lonely and sorrowful widow
and orphaned children, we extend a
sympathetic and helping hand. Let
the thought console you that
Gods ways are always right,
And love is DER them all,
Though far above our sight.
Resolved, that while we bow with
humble submission to the mandates OF
our Supreme Grand Master, yet we
hope to meet our departed brother in
that Supreme Grand Lodge, "that
house not made with hands, but eter.
nal in the heaven"
That we Will cherish his memory:
that the fraternity has lost a worthy
brother, the community good citizen
and the family kind husband and an
indulgent parent.

A Card Of Thanks.

We take this method of thanking our
many friends for the kind sympathy
and substantial aid extended to us in
our recent misfortune. We could look
with the eye of philosopher on the
ashes and debris of our effects, but the
prompt and generous action of our
friends, causes lump to rise in the
throat that, like the Ghost of Banquo,
Twill not down."
May kind providence return to you, a
hundred fold, what you have given US
in our distress. SCOTT CUMMINs.

CONSIDERED FLIMsY.
The Defense Made by Bishop
Fowler.

OWleF.
FOREST RIVER, \. D., July 2s.-The
revolt in the Grand Forks district of
North Dakota received another airing
at Grafton. Rev 5. E. RYAN called to-
gether the district stewards to decide
upon the salary he should receive for
the year. The chairman read a docu-
ment from the bishop. addressed to the
district stewards. in which he defended
his action in removing Rev. G.. S.White.
and giving four or five reasons for such
action. The majority of those present
considered these fiimsy and beneath the
dignity of the bishop to set forth. and
thought they would have had little
weight had not other influences been at
work against White. By motion. the
document was spread upon the minutes.
Several motions were made and sec
Onded by the chair as contrary to the
discipline Of the church. A deadlock
took place, neither party being willing
to yield the point represented by them.
At S D. ~ 1t was evident no conclusion
could be arrived at, and both parties re-
tired. leaving the chairman alone. As
he could not fix his own salary, the mat
ter remains as II was. The prevailing
feeling is that Bishop Fowler should
grant the MethOdists of this district A
hearing
