WORK OF LIGHTNING.

Auburn, June pa heavy thunder
shower passed over this town yester-
day afternoon. For a few minutes it
hailed, the hailstones being about as
big as peas. During the shower light
ming struck a large elm tree near the
house of A. L. Rice, shattering a large
limb and it either left the tree or part
of the bolt struck the house just under
the jet and followed the post down
some distance, starting the cIapboards
and sheathing. 1t entered the house
in the sitting room, tearing off some
of the plastering and, following the
picture moulding, it entered the kitchen
and. il is supposed. passed off at the
pump. Mrs Rice was looking out of
the window near where the lightning
entered the room only a few moments
before. No one was injured.

The Cresset man did not
venture an opinion on the
Kiowa News writeup Of the
republican convention. It is
fair to suppose that, since the
Cresset did not deny any of
the statements therein made,
he believes them to be true.
We think, therefore, that we
have a right to demand an
apology from that gentleman.
If half what the News said
was true, certainly all that
the INDEX said must have
been true. Please remember
that the News is a republi.
can paper and carries the re.
publican ticket at it's mast.

RANKENISM VS.. ~ sTICE.

There is probably no issue in the To-
cal politics of Barber county this fall
more important than the one which
contronts the voters of the First Com
missioner district.
We need not fear contradiction when
we say that the Office of commissioner is
one of the most responsible in the
county and if the board is composed of
poor business men whose bias, partisan
or otherwise, takes the place of judg-
ment the people as whole must suffer.
This prelude leads up to the contest
in the first district which must be de-
cided this fall. We need not introduce
Hugh Rankin to the voters of Barber
county land especially not to those of the
first district. Everybody who is at all
familiar with the public affairs of Bar
Der county knows that it is time vast
ed for Populjst, democrat or a re.
publican who is fearless enough to de-
fy the machine, or who for some reason
does not enjoy the good Will of Mr..
Rankin or those who control him, to
apply to the board for justice If Mr..
Rankin's vote is necessary to secure 1t.
With Rankin it matters not what your
case may be nor how meritorious your
claim may be, but 1t narrows itself
down to one or the other of these prop
ositions, wits he republican, or is
he man of political influence and how
does he stand i'll the estimation of the
republican leaders. We could, if we
desired to be personal, refer to a mum
Der of instances wherein great injustice
has been done by Mr.. Rankin and we
would only need to call on the injur-
cd parties for substantiation. But
we take it that Mr.. Rankin's bias is
conceded by the broad minded men of
all parties and until our statement on
that issue is'challenged further dis.
cussion is unnecessary.
The question, then, with the voters
of the district is, can you afford to con.
tinue such man in such responsible
official position. We are not talking
from partisan standpoint. We are
NuihihS W NOu do toA pd1clS anu ClLlL6uS
who we believe desire justice done tC
all men regardless of their political
complexion OF personal opinions. Is q
man of that kind safe? The fiEst dis
trict has been represented by many
different republicans but it is a com
mon remark that never in the histor,
of the county has it had commission
er whose official action was so com
pletely dictated as that of the present
oue-Hugh Rankin. If, after the PEG
pie understand the situation thorough
Iy, they refuse to profit from the les
sous of the past and elect him, the,
will merit just such treatment as the,
are now receiving and they will hav,
themselves to blame. The question i
with thevoters OF the first district; thei
votes on November 9TH viii decide it.

WHEN the republicans of
Barber county make their
campaign on the proposition
that Mckinley must be en-
dorsea or the county will go
to the demnition bow-wows
and the flag will be ''hauled
down." it is plain to the OBJ
server that they are getting
in desperate straits. On
local issues they are begging
the question and they think
they can "enthuse" the peo-
pie into the trust-owned par
ty by idolizing Mckinley and
denouncing the opposition as
traitors. Not a word, though,
about that $4,000 item. Nc
Kinley must be endorsed
while republican extrava-
gance drains the public treas
ury.

IF we were to state that the govern
ment is taxing the people to get mo ney
for the purpose Of loaning the same to
few favorite national banks we would
no doubt, be called liar, and such
other pet names as the blind adherents
to the present policy could think of.
Yet that is exactly what Mr.. McKln-
ley's administration is doing, and is
just what his predecessors, especially
Grover Cleveland, have been doing for
many moons last past. Nor is that the
worst of it: The government has been
selling bonds to get money on which
the people are paying interest aud the
money is being loaned to these banks
without interest. There is now depos-
tied In these banks over eighty million
dollars of the peoples money; money
that has been extorted from the public;
money for which the government has
10 use and has not had. The people
pay interest on the money, and it is
given to the banks free of interest,
while they, in turn, loan it to the same
people from whom 1t was taken, and
collect interest from them for its use.
When the people have become such
grinning idiots that they borrow mon.
ely and give it to the banks for the pur-
pose of borrowing it again from the
banks, thus paying two interests on the
same. and their own money at that, it
seems to US that it is time to call a halt

The Klowa News, the only fearless
republican newspaper published in this
part of the state, compliments our
write up of the recent republican con-
yention in the following language. We
think we are justified in feeling proud
of such favorable comment coming from
contemporary holding opposite politi-
cal views:
The report of the INDEX was the
most correct and uupreJudiced report
OF republican convention we have ev-
or read in that paper, and If our notes
were necessary to corroborate the truth,
fair and well told, the INDEX was per-
fectly welcome TO give them the widest

The man who desires to be
at the head of the procession
in the republican party in
Barber county must be an
adroit topper. The action of
the party during the past few
years has shown conclusively
that the floppers are in the
swim. The old-line republi-
cans are side-tracked for the
reason that the machine
thinks it can depend on them
anyway. But the floppers
must be we'll cared for.

For the benefit of the Ores
set we will publish a state
ment of expenditures made
by the Populist and republi-
can administrations, next
week. We will say in adj
vance that the Cresset's at
tempt to hold Commissioner
Walker responsible for the
excessive outlay of public
funds is the veriest of bun
combe. For instance, how
can Mr.. Walker regulate
court costs made largely
through the plumbers of an
incompetent county attorney
and how can he curtail the
expenses of an extravagant
sheriff? 1t will be found by
perusal of the records that
Mr.. Walker voted mo" on a
number of bills that were al
lowed but the republican ma.
jority stood together.

mixed up with the European

is impossible to estimate the

OF the great good that even
a small fraction of this

THE editor of the Cresset has delved
down deep into the labyrinth OF politi-
cal chicanery and has unearthed a
monster scheme which he says was
carefully manufactured and securely
hidden from our eyes, by certain demo-
cratic and Populist leaders, which they
will use at the Opportune time to make
US walk the chalk line. Of course. it is
all startling news to us and we are un-
der many obligations to him for his
kindness. But it must be remembered
that our brother in distress has been
muchly off his base In political prog
nosticatiOns in times past and it is
barely possible that his premature dis
covery in this instance is father to a
rank innate desire. AT any rate we
are not trembling over the wrath to
come and we will still continue to at
tend to our own business in the future
as we have in the past. We hope the
editor of the Cresset will continue his
explorations through the hitherto i'm
penetrable abyss and let us know from
time to time what he finds.

REMEMBER that the county
expenditures of the past two
years, while great as compar-

years, are not near as high as
they will be the coming two
years if the republican
party is continued in power.
It is the second term man,
as a rule, who becomes reck-
lessly extravagant, because
he figures that there is no
day of reckoning. If the re-

this fact will be established.

The republicans are having
a hard job apologizing for the
ability of their county sur
veyor. Mr.. Davis is a good
old man in the wrong place.
He knows about as much
about surveying as Judge
Lacy's dog Grover knows
about the planet Neptune.
Only a week ago one of his
best republican friends told
us that whenever a man want
ed surveying done he had to
take instruments and do it
himself, but he thought Davis
might as we'll draw the sal
airy as anybody. No one will
go farther in commanding
Mr.. Davis personal character
and good citizenship than we
will, but he is as much out of
place in the surveyors Office
as he would be in a French
college.
