Malt Traffic Prohibited.

The mayor and council, at their
regular meeting Monday night, passed
an ordinance prohibiting the sale of
malt beverages in Medicine Lodge.
The ordinance is sweeping and covers
all brands Of malt and tOnics usually
sold as a substitute for beer. The
penalty for every offense is a fine of
not less than $40 nor more than 500.
and costs, including $5 for attorneys
fees.
The ordinance will take effect on
Friday when it Will be published in
the official city organ. There are
several restaurants with malt annexes
in the city and the enforcement of this
ordinance will interfere to a consider
able extent with their income. How
ever, a prOVisO is made permitting sales
in quantities OF four gallons or more.
The action was taken as q result of
a demand on the part of committee
Of citizens. The ordinance was passed
by unanimous vote.
It is understood that the ordinance
is contrary to the advice and personal
feelings OF the city and county attorney
and 1t Is possible that the question OF
its legality may be carried into court.
Aside from passing this ordinance,
the council transacted the regular
routine business. The alley bet ween
Cherry and Oak streets south Of the
railroad was ordered opened, and
apart Of First avenue fenced by A
Langhart was also ordered opened
VIM. Marquand complained in the for
mer case, and J. Begert in the latter.
Another meeting will be held to-
night to take up the water works bust
ness. A new company asked to submit
figures on putting in pump and
power, and its representative is expect
ed in today.

While John L. Middleton was out
fishing last Wednesday he attempted
to jump. across the ditch but his legs
were too short and he fell into the
water. The current was swift and the
water was deep and John started down
stream at lively gait. Charley Ross,
who was.wlth him, went to his assist
ance and after hard struggle. landed
him. Mr.. Ross is an old fisherman,
but this is the bignest catch he ever
made. If either of them drank anything
stronger than water on that occasion,
neltLer will admit it. But. of course,
the old veterans have a way of keeping
their secrets.

S. F. Stewart of Topeka, who pur-
chased L. w. Thompson's ranch, ar
rived last Friday to take another good
look at his Barber county possessions.
When he first bought he did not think
he would make this his home but every
trip draws him little nearer to q con-
clusion to bring his family to southern
Kansas and enjoy life. The probability
is that they will move down in June.

The Index may have its faults, but
apologize for under the present manage
ment. The paper never has been and
never will be forced on anybody, and
it is always discontinued promptly
when a subscriber so orders. It does
not insult the intelligence and the
integrity of people who affiliate with
other political parties than the one the
paper represents, by proposing to
bribe them by putting them on the
"eomplimentary" list. We look upon
the newspaper business as a legitimate
one and we make one price to all.

CHURCH AND STATE IN FRANCE.

The probability increases that as we have
already intimated, next year will see one of
the most important political controversies in
France that the republic has known since its
foundation. This will concern nothing less than
the complete separation OF church and state
and the abolition of the elaborate system Of
subventions which the government has long
been paying TO various religious denominations
1t is well known that at the present time the
French government contributes to the support
not only Of the Roman Catholic Church. but also
Of Protestant churches. Jewish synagogues and
Mahometan mosques, under the direction of
Minister of Public Worship. Under this system
the government enjoys some advantages, from
the supervision and control which 1t is thus
enabled to exercise over the churches and their
work-for every clergyman is now practically
government official and subject to the State.
Nevertheless, there are many grave objections
to the scheme in practical detail as well as on
general principle
We printed in our Paris dispatches the other
day the text of the law which has been
formulated for presentation to Parliament in
January next. 1t is not to be understood that
the government is committed to that measure
But it is definitely committed to the policy of
bringing up the whole subject in January and
Of considering the complete separation Of church
and state the abolition Of the ecclesiastical sub
sides and the abrogation OF the Concordat
These are the things provided to be done in
the formulated bill, TO which is added the
abolition Of the Ministry of Public Worship
and Of the embassy at the Vatican From
what has already occurred, 1t does not seem
rash TO expect that DR.. Combes and his col
leagues will accept for adoption the proposed
measure, or one much like IT, and that they
VIII be supported in so doing by the Chamber
In three cases-the Dreyfus case, the contest
with the religious orders and this latest ella sh
with the Vatican-the government has unmis-
takably shown its spirit Of independence of
clericalism and its desire TO make as steadily
and as rapidly as possible toward the ideal Of
a free church in free state. Beyond doubt
too. the Chamber has shown strong and in
creasingy strong disposition to support that
policy.
What the French nation will say to such a
proposal may also be forecast with some degree
OF assurance. 1t is n question whether it IS.
as whole, growing more or less religious
That 1t is growing less enthusiastically the ex-
preston may be used-is not to be doubted

toward independence Of clerical influence I'm no.

Washington June 6.-The military experts are
not by any means in accord on the subject Of
Japanese strategy in its relation to the situation
at Port Arthur. II is estimated by conservative
officers that General Kuropatkin would be
obliged to have force OF ct least four hun
dred thousand men in order TO cope adequately
with the demands in the Kwan-Tung Peninsula
Wien American officers begin TO consider the
cost of the relief OF Port Arthur 1t is conceived
that such a scheme is fraught with much risk
for the Russians. and the chance that the ex-
petition OF succor might be turned to the adj
vantage of the enemy. Besides the relief coll
umn would be obliged to march two hundred
miles and would be open to attack the way
from the constantly reinforced commands OF the
invaders who ought to have no difficulty In
obstructing the movements Of the Russians
toward the south.
The military experts are greatly puzzled over
what will be the Japanese plan of campaign
outside of the Kwan-Tung Peninsula. and here
the military view is divided on what should
and can be done. II there is an immediate at
tack the fortified Russians at Port Arthur
the Japanese will be at a great disadvantage. II
there Is long siege, the Japanese will grad
ually acquire advantage In proportion to
their means of strengthening themselves. 1t
would be possible In time to reduce Port Ar
thur. but it will have to be done scientifically.
with much elaboration. the allowance OF time
and the employment Of artillery
Outside of the situation at Port Arthur the
officers here are not making any guesses. II is
felt that both the Russians and the Japanese
are adding to their forces in the field. and one
army strategist to-day said that the Japanese
were accomplishing this at a greater rate than
the Russians. The only difficulty about the
Japanese problem is that there may be a limit
fixed by Japanese facilities for supplying an
army in Manchuria.

ing only $G9S, 900, OO0-S48, 100000 less than the
estimates and 100000 less than the expected

the fiscal year 1904-05: and the actual loss TO
the Treasury from July !. 1903, to July l. 1905,
should not exceed SJ0.000,000. Certainly no
deficit need be caused by expenditures the
Panama Canal. The Spooner Canal act provided
for issue OF bonds to meet the cost OF con-
structing the canal. and there is no thought of
paying the day-to-day expense Of the canal
project out of the current revenues of the Treas
ury. There will still be Il comfortable surplus
in the Treasury in 190T-probably large enough
TO warrant little further trial Of the protec-
tive system. We scarcely think that that sys-
tenn will be discarded on the showing of failure
and famine which some of its industrious and
ingenious critics are struggling TO make
