PATTON RESIGNS.

The following special appears in the
Kansas City World of Saturday evening:
u Topeka, Kan, Aug. Ex-Governor Leedy to-
day received the resignation of Frank Patton,
representative from Barber county. Patton
is POpulist. He went to Oregon after the
legislature adjourned to prospect for gold.
struck II rich and decided to stay there per-
manently.
Some weeks ago the chairman of the
Barber county central committee re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Patton in
which he rather claimed Barber county
as his residence, but stating, also, that
and he asked advice in the matter.
The chairman and secretary of the
committee Immediately wrote to MI.
Patton, explaining the situation to
him as it existed here and advised him
to tender his resignation to the govern
or, and we take it that he acted on this
suggestion.
This clears the matter up. a repre-
sentative will be elected this fall to
fill the uneXpired term and Barber
county will have representative as
usual.
There are few hasty individuals
who were disposed to censure the IN
Den for not falling in with the idea
last summer when Mr.. Patton left for
Oregon, that the Office was vacant, but
time has proved that we were right
IN our position. The Office was not va
cant before Mr.. Patton resigned and it
was only matter of courtesy that he
was given time and opportunity to do
this.
AS to Mr.. Patton's gold find, we hope
the dispatch states facts. The INDEX
would be glad to learn that he has been
thus rewarded. No man has worked
harder III Barber county than Frank
Patton and few have met with more
misfortune. If he has "struck it rich, -
his Barber county friends will be glad
to hear it.

sTRYKER's VERSION.

State Supt. Stry ker has made public
the following explanation as to why the
newspapers of the state are making
such a bitter attack on him. We be-
lieve he has struck the key note:
The agents of the book trusts are
doing their best to get school boards to
continue the use of the trust books.
Another thing they are doing, and that
is, keeping the papers filed with critl-
cisms of my examination questions. i
was told while making the fight for the
adoption of the text book law, and
again, when l refused to sell out to the
trust in the adoption OF books, that
they would crush me. This is the be-
ginning of their scheme. They may
succeed. but they and the people will be
told very plainly as often as Opportuni.
ty offers during the next year and a
half OF their methods. 1t is their plan
to crush anyone they cannot buy OF
frighten into silence"

THE expected has happened. Blood.

HE expected has happened. Blood
shed between the strikers and the officers
has begun. Last Thursday Judge Collier,
of Pennsylvania, issued a sweeping in
junction restraining the unemployed to
congregate and travel on the public
highways and clash between the
authorities and the strikers followed.
The men assert that they have right to
use the public roads so long as they are
peacable and orderly. But the officers
pay no attention to the pleadings and
their only answer is that the order of
the court must be obeyed. 1t is USE
less for the strikers ID oppose the in.
junction; if they DO they will be MUIR
dered outright. Government by injunc-
ton can only be overcome at the ballot
box.

The Populists of Woods county. Ok

braries for the benefit of the reading
public. Reform literature of standard
authorities are kept in these libraries.

follow. Recently Hon. Jesse j. Dunn
suggested, through letter, to Hon. Thos.
Z. watson that it would be a good
idea to give his paper-The Peoples
Party Paper-to each of the libraries.

graduate the Populists of Woods coun-
ty on their energy and industry in

THE average price of wheat for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1896, was SlI
cents per bushel while the average price
of an ounce of silver for the same year
was 6S cents per ounce. The differ.
ence between the price of silver and
wheat this year is some greater, and
our republican friends point this fact
in vain hope of disproving the Popu-
list statement that wheat and silver de-
clined uniformly since 1878. AS usual.
they err. BY examining the prices of
wheat and silver from 1873 10 the pres
ent time We find that the prices were
almost the same. Some years silver
was little higher than wheat and
some years wheat was higher than sill
yer, but on an average there is practi
calIy no difference. The variations are
due to tluctuation caused by shortage
and increased demand, but these are
only temporary and In the main the
rices are the same.

CRANE 81 Co., of Topeka. were
awarded the contract to furnish the
text books on civil government to the
school districts, under the new law,
and, being republicans and partisans,
they included the following very objec-
tionable paragraphs:
treasury notes, commonly called
'greenDackS, are promise of the gov
eminent to pay. From 1861 to 1878
they were not redeemable, and for that
reason floated below par. After 1878
the promise of the government to take
them for all dues brought them up to
par"
State Superintendent Stryker read
proof before any of the books were
printed and this reference to the green
backs was stricken out, but Crane re-
fused TO make the correction. AS the
matter now stands Stryker refuses to
accept the books and Crane demands
pay for the books already printed
about $200-before making the correc-
ton. Stryker says he will not consent
to the payment for the reason that the
error was due to the publisher. 1t is
generally believed that Crane purposely
crowded in this paragraph to gain a
point for the gold standard adherents.
Supt. Stryker takes the right position
when he says that questions of parti-
san nature should be left out of the
textbooks. He does not ask that the
Popullst theory be included but he does
insist that republican campaign thun-
der be eliminated. The people of Kan
sas are with Prof. Stryker in this fight
and it is to be hoped that he will tri-
umph.
