Country And Town.

The pOpulists have swept East Auro-
TO, New \ ork, In a manner that has
dazed the politicians. Lincoln, Neb.
went populist by 300. Six cities in
Wisconsin were carried by populists.
The merchants and business of other
states are discovering that the effort
OF the peoples party to reduce trans
portation rates, interest rates, and in
debtedness, to provide means for trans.
acting business that are not subject to
corners and retain as large a proper
ton of his production or the fruit
thereof as possible in the hands of the
producer, means fortunes to them.
And so they would see 1t in Kansas.
had not republican politicians decided
on the towns and the commercial ele-
ments, which are always naturally and
necessarily timId, to build up prejudice
and blgotry against their opponents.
Commercially speaking the interests
of the farmer and the local merchants
are nearly the same; and if the farmers
are not the merchants friends, it will
be because the unreasonable and bigot.
ed cry Of fool, granger, crank, anarch.
list and revolutionist, drives the farm
ers in self-defense and self-respect to
do as farmers in Sedgwick county are
doing. We commend this to the care.
full consideration of the business men
OF Medicine Lodge. The farmers are
strictly your friends, in fact and in
feeling, and the INDEX proposes to dc
what it can to always maintain friend
ly feeling, but this can only be done by
respect on your part as well as on
theirs. The farmers though naturally
q conservative element, have shown
themselves more friendly to new ideas
and progressive political efforts than
have the business men.
We do not say this to find fault. 1t
is natural, the business man should
and must be cautious. 1t is best for
society that he should be. He wants
to be sure of his ground before he takes
step. But there is a point beyond
which bigotry and prejudice, take the
place Of caution aud sober judgment.

not understand how a sandbag could pos

A majority of the members are under
the impression that Captain Macarthur
must have been hit with brick IL hit at

that he was moonstruck and fell against

Hungry Mendicants.
APPEALS TO COUNTRYMEN.
Hotel Guests Complain of Being
Annoyed at Night by Persistent
Loafers and Tramps.

In the history of San Francisco there
has not been time when the streets were
so crowded with beggars as at the present.
Downtown men and boys interrupt peo-
ple every few yards with an appeal for
help-a dime for meal or bed.
And so frequent and persistent have
these Interruptions become that those beg
gers are nuisance.
Excuse me, sir. will you assist man
to get a cup of coffee? l haven't eaten
anything for two days" This is one char
acteristic petition OF the idle fellows one
meets along the streets at all hours of the
day and night. The other request runs
something like this:
Say. boss. haven't you got q dino to
spare to give fellow to buy coffee?"
1t is really remarkable what a weakness
they all have for coffee. The modest and

Until month or two ago it was rarely
that beggarS were met and such fellows
as begged then might safely be classed as
tramps or loafers. Times have changed,
however. Men. young and old, are driven
on the streets to beg for the means of sup

Appeals of this kind have become so
common they are positively annoying to
guests OF the downtown hotels. Com
plants are made daily at the hotel Offices
