There is one thing certain
about the present congress,
and that is that the masses
will not be disappointed
whatever it may do or may
not do. Nothing has been
promised except a continual
ton of the goldstandard, high
tariff, imperialism, polygamy
and monopolistic supremacy.
Very few, if any, measures
will be enacted. The agents
and lobbyists for these insti-
tutions have already secured
all they demanded and there
is little left for such a con-
gress to do but to expend OF.
atory and heap up expenses
by the millions for the peo-
pie to pay. Instead of taking
steps to restrain combined
wealth from further oppres-
sing the people. our congress
of corporation hirelings will
place a lever in their hands
with which to do the work
more easily and with less ex-
pense. Perhaps it is all for
the best-maybe it will be
the means of awakening the
people to the necessity of
self defense, the sooner.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY. In dealing
with trusts In his message, has the fac
ulty of saying much and nothing at one
and the same time. No remedy is
pointed out, nothing is offered. but all
is left to the wisdom of congress The
Presidents discussion of this very i'm
portant issue is light, evasive and
meaningless. But who could expect
anything better. The party which
made Mckinley president would not be
in existence today If the trusts had not
fought it's battles and no citizen need
expect the republican party to do aught
that would even restrain them in the
mad rush for wealth and plumber. But
there are some hair-bralned politicians
who have already begun to tell US that
the republican party Is opposed to
trusts. In what way. how when and
where?

THE amusing farce of sending petit
tions to congress has begun again.
There are whole lot of people in this
country who are still green enough to
think tina. sending an instrument of
that kind to Washington will get them
something. With all their opportuni-
ties to inform themselves they have not
yet learned that congressman treats
a petition with silent contempt and
hurries it to the waste basket before
reading half a dozen words. When
the people demand the right to do their
legislating themselves. they will have
a voice in matters of government but
not before.

The Cresset throws slurs at
Oscar Haberlein because he
was.the republican candidate
for representative in 1895 and
went down to defeat. The
Cresset's ridicuIe and satire
does not cut much ice, how
ever. Mr.. Haberlein got more
votes than Mckinley and the
state ticket did that year, and
only two candidates on the
county ticket polled a larger
vote. If the Cresset measures

THERE is at at least one republican In
Barber county who needs to cultivate
a little more of the product known as
common sense. The gentleman in
question is not an INDEX subscriber
but he borrows the paper and reads it
every week. Last week he read what
was said about Judge Hook and his de-
cision on the court of visitation. and
he was Mortified, incensed and almost
demented. He thought it was evidence
of much cheek for such a small paper
to criticise such great man as Judge
Hook. The fact alone that man was
able to land a life time federal job
ought to forever exempt him from crit
icism, except, perhaps, from those in
equally high places; but our republican
friend thinks 1t is almost treason for a
weekly newspaper in this neck of-the-
woods to do aught but pay tribute to
the talents of the great men at the pie
counter who, he imagines, are only Sec
ond to the OmnlpOtent himself. In
answer to our republican critic, we

that the officeholders are eminently

they have been known to lose sight OF
the public good in order that they
might themselves wax the fatter and
improve their financial condition.? Of

The republican claim that
Kansas is stronger republi-

fact. A comparison of the re.

THE paper trust is getting in its work
on publishers and we observe that re-
publican papers are bowling as long
and loud as Populist papers. If the
prices keep on increasing many OF the
country papers will be consumed but 1t
is some satisfaction to know that the
republican papers that have been
whooping it up for the trusts must sink
with the Populist papers that fought
them. Another instance in which the
Innocent must suffer for the acts of the

USES FOR coRUNDUM.
For Abrasive Purposes In Work on
Metals IL May supplant
Emery.

There will probably soon be employ
ment for the large deposits of corun-
dunn in North Carolina, as uses for that
mineral in the arts are being found.
This mineral is the crystallized oxide
of alumina, and, though tits essentially
of India, II is found in gem form not
only in North Carolina, but 10 some
extent in Georgia, and there are valu-
able deposits of it in British Ontario.
In Nature is an article setting forth
the uses and value of corundum, and IL
appears that il is employed chiefly for
abrasive purposes, mostly in the form
of corundum wheels, which are said TO
be twice as effective and durable as
emery wheels. Corundum wheels may
be regarded as rotary files, the cutting
points of which never grow dull. They
are rapidly replacing files for cutting
down metal surfaces, and taking the
place of grindstones for sharpening
tools. We are told that while a file
is useless when it has lost five per cent
of its weight, the eorundum grains
throughout wheel retain their cut
ting power so that it can be worked
until quite 90 per cent. of its weight
Is worn off, Thus, while it has beer
estimated that to remove one pound
weight of iron with a file costs 65 cents
the same amount of work can be don,
with an emery or corundum wheel in
about one-eighth of the time and a
one-seventh of the cost.
