A Republican Wall.

The official mouth piece of the Big
-Four has started another tremendous
howl about the county expenditures of
1901 but it fOrgets TO mention that these
expenditures are the inevitable results
OF republican laws and republican Office
holders. The fusion commissioners
came in with these obligations resting
against them, they had an invalid child
called the Poor farm" on their hands
to care for and things all around were
in chaotic condition. Added to this
there were special laws handed down
to the county from Topeka. The ex-
travagance and incompelency of Ger
tain republican officials are also we'll
known and all these things combined
are bound to cost money. 1t will re-
quire some time to get back to the
economical basis of '96 and '97 but the
commissioners are doing their best in
spite of bad laws. 1t must be remem.
bered that few county officers are i'm
harmony with the commissioners, po
litically, and they are annoyed cODsid
erably. For instance the action of the
county attorney and the Cresset in the
foreclosure cases. trivial law suits, such
as last summers dog case, etc., etc :,
cost money. IF the people Of this
county want to get on an economical
basis they must not only elect commits
sioners IN harmony with it, but other
officers as well.
The "organs's'' figures are, of course.
garbled both as to expenditures and the
poor farm but that is habit peculiar
to Bro. LortCn and we have a great
deal of charity for him.
The Index will take pleasure at the
OppOrtune time in showing the eCresset's s
fallacy to the people Of Barber county.
Considering the several rebukes which
have been recently administered to the
ring sheet, if its editor IS gifted with
ordinary common sense, he should
know that the people, regardless OF pol
itics, have 10 confidence ia what he
says of a political nature. He has at
tempted to deceive them too often.
Get right with the people. Repent!

Resolutions Of Coincidence.

At their last meeting Delta Lodge A.
F. q A. M. No. II, adopted the follow
ing resolutions of coincidence Feagard.
ing the death of Charles Rudolph on
January 18th, 1902:
Therefore be it resolved by Delta Lodge A.
F. & A. NJ, No. Y. of Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
that in the death of Brother Rudolph, this
lodge has lost the influence and sympathy of
Mason whose life and character among men
and Masons was an exemplif1catien of the
principles and virtues inculcated by the fra
ternity. That the state has lost an honored
citizen and his family kind and affectionate
husband and father. The loss to his family
and friends is irreparable, 1t can be said of
him truthfully that he was one of the Noblest
of his Kind. That he was careful and attentive
to his own affairs and that he died with his
face to the future and on the line of duty. In
all the walks of life he stood for integrity and
honor among men and at the last without q
tremor or fear he said, 81 cannot fight this
battle longer and with these words he step
ped intO the current of that stream whose
waves wash the cloud-bound coast of eternity
I'VE cherish his memory here, commend his
spirit to God, who gave it. and consign his
body to the EARTH" Respectfully submitted,

The Democrat Convention.

The Democratic State convention
will be held at Wichita May 21. The
committee has enlarged the number of
delegates to 7SO otensibly for the pur-
pose of making room for the Populist
party within the democratic ranks pro-
vided the populists finally decide to
work under the democratic banner to
circumvent the republican antl-fusion
law.
However, it is not yet recorded that
the populists will go into the democrat
ic party, and if they decide to do so at
the conference at Topeka, February 81,
it is probable that the party members
will refuse to be governed by the edict.
The proper plan to adopt in Kansas
would be the nomination os an indie
pendent ticket, the same as was done
in Barber county last fall. With the
forces opposed to republicanism and
favoring honest government. united in
this state there would be no question
as to the result. We have no hope that
they Will DO this but it would be the
wise and sensible thing to do neverthe-
less.
