LESTER WILL NOT ACCEPT.

Hon. John A. Lester desires us t.
state that he will not accept the salary
reported to have been allowed him BY
the legislature. He says. while he was
elected. he was not permitted to serve
and therefore is not entitled to compen.
sation. He has so fer received no OF
fetal notice Of having been allowed
salary and mileage. All he knows is
what he has read in the newspaper.
If, however, the money is rendered
him he says he will refuse because he
considers it the only honorable thing
to do. His action shows that he has
been sincere from beginning to end and
his vlllifiers will again have to return
to their vomit. In allowing him mon
ey the legislature undoubtedly expected
to square themselves with the people,
but it will avail them nothing. Mr..
Lester and several others were depriv-
ed of their seats In the legislature and
no amount of appropriations will atone
for the outrage.

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.

There will be no election this fall ex-
cept for one commissioner, if the latest
legislative pollyfoxlng stands in court.
The legislature last week pas
sed law providing that county off
GERS shall be elected on the even years,
excepting that one commissioner shall
be elected on every odd year.
The reason given for the new law
and its Interpretation, is to avoid the
expense OF an election every year. That
is very good, but it is not clear how the
great saving can be effected. Since an
election must be held to elect commits
sioner, the expense would be very little
greater to elect all of them.
This conglomerate and inexcusable
law was the result of county officers
lobby consisting of sheriff5, clerks re
corders, treasurer5, surveyors and coro-
ners, who want to hold on to the public
teat another year without the expense
of campaign. But they have reckon
ed too hastily. The new law does not
provide that the present officers shall!
hold over and at the end of the year
the above named offices will be vacant.
1t will then be the duty of the county
commissioners to appoint, excepting
sheriffs, who will be appointed by the
governor.
We don't think that any of the Bar
Der county officers helped to pull the
strings but many others did.
1t is the opinion of many of the alb
lest lawyers in the state that the law
cannot stand IN the courts. If the leg
islature intended to provide for bien-
NAL elections they should have done so
without making an exception of the
commissioners. To hold an election
in only few precincts is an unwar-
ranted expense and very foolish. 1t
will be contested hard by everybody.

Old Thee Botkin finally got
his work in on the members
of the legislature. Last Wed.
nesday they voted him $4,000
in cold cash to make him
whole (and then some) on his
Impeachment proceedings in
1891. He was impeached in
the house and lacked only two
votes Of conviction in the sen.
ate. Chester 1. Long repre-.
sented this district in the
state senate then and voted
to convict the old scoundrel.
Chester at that time believed
the charges against Botkin to
be true and stated many times
that he should have been re.
moved from Office. But ten
years later the political party
of which Chester is one of the
heads, comes along and do
mates the same old culprit
$4,000 of the peoples money
Thus corruption is rewarded
and encouraged by a party
that proclaims it's purity and
patriotism from to the house
tops. And to think that ev
cry producer in the state must
toll and sweat to pay this il
legitimate gift to this decay
ed,putrifying politician! How
long will the people stand it

Strange to say. the anaesthetic effect
OF this potent poison, alcohol. has so re-
duced the will power and benumbed
the reasoning faculties of those who
have used it to any great extent. IN sur
gerry. they are no longer willing CT able
TO think nationally on the subject.-Dr.
Chas. G. Davis.
Alcohol Is not only not a helper of
work, but it is certain hinderer of
work; and every man who comes to the
front of profession in London is
marked by this one characteristic, .hat
the more busy he gets, the less alcohol
he takes; aud his excuse isl am very
sorry, but cannot take it and 90 my
work. The late Sir Andrew CLARK, M.
D., physician to the Queen.

A man may drink in such way as
never to feel consciously excited or EN-
barrassed, yet rum his health and cut
short his days more speedily and surely
than the man who is dead drunk every
Saturday night.-Dr. Greenfield.
~
Alcohol Is poison. 1t kills in large
doses, and half kills In smaller one. 1t
produces insanity, delirium, fits. 1t
poisons the blood and wastes the man.
Prof. James Miller. Nj. ID.
M
For the last year or two l have been
keeping note of the various observa-
tions that have been made in regard to
the use of alcohol in disease, and 1 am
coming 20 believe more and more firmly
that not only is alcohol physiological
poison, but that when acting in con.
junction with certain other poisons, it
renders these other polsons such assist
ance that they become much more viru.
lent IN their action, and therefore the
patient who takes. or has taken, alcohol
has a less chance of recovery than the
patient who abstains.-Prof. G. Wood

Is alcohol an appetizer? No; it pro-
duces an excitation of the stomach
which causes a sensation taken for hun

What would the republi
cans of Barber county think
if the INDEX in some future
campaign were to print the
ballots and use lighter paper
for Medicine Lodge and Val
ley townships than fol. the
fusion townships, then have
a contest board throw out the
two republican townships and
thus insure the election of
the fusionists? Wouldn't
they raise up in arms and
fight for their rights?
Wouldn't they have a just
cause9 Yet this is exactly
what the republican legisla-
ture did in the Ross-Findlay
contest. They deprived Sen
ator Ross of 200 votes by
throwing out a few fusion
precincts in Barton county on
the light paper plea. Who
says it is right?

Gov. Stanley made a whole
lot of noise during the cam
paign in his message to
the legislature, about econo-
my. Yet the legislature spent
about two-thlrds of it's time
raising salaries of public Of
ficers and buying a mansion
for the governor. Governor
Stanley signed these bills
without a word of protest.
There seems to be a big hypo-
critic in the principal Office of

Judge Hazen didn't do a
thing" to the joint smashers
at Topeka last week. He re-
fused to admit testimony to
prove that liquor had been
sold and instructed the jury
that destruction of saloon
property was as much of an
offense under the law as
the destruction of any
other property, and there was
nothing left for the jury to
do but to return a verdict of
guilty. If the supreme court
sustains Hazen the joint raid.

A law abolishing elections
