Sundays Fire ut BrOOksyille.

The little village of Brooksville. three
miles north of here. was visited by n
destructive fire on the morning of Sun
day last. Several of the Inhabitants
awoke at half-past five o'clock to find
the main building of the Brooks Edge
Tool company's works in flames; and
before long it was burned TO the grOu nd.
The structure burned was situated on
this side of the New Haven river. which
furnished power for the machinery. 1t
comprised the forge shop, the grinding
shop and the tempering room. the whole
making Il building l25 feet in length by
80 in width. When built, in lS55. ii cost
SO 900. and later improvements and new
machinery bring the total value OF the
establishment up to about $1,000. The
insurance was light. being only $1,000,
in the North British and Mercantile.
As to the origin of the fire very little is
known, but it is supposed to have
caught from one of the FORCES. Ii seems
that the workmen have been in the
habit of smothering their fires when the
days work was done by putting upon
them quantity of fresh coal instead of
blazing up, the fires would go out. The
conjecture is that on one Of the forge
fires too little coal was placed. and that

ignited the surrounding woodwork, com
muncating thence to the building.
There is no reason for suspecting incen-
diarism.
Only a short time since quite extensive
repairs. involving a considerable out
lay, had been made upon the machinery.
The greater part Of the machinery is of
course ruined, being twisted out of shape

The ceal-shed. standing but few feet
from the burned building, was saved.
1t contained about fifty tons of coal.
There were about 300 dozen unfinished
axes in the shops. OF these, II few. in
an advanced stage of manufacture, were
damaged; the larger number were I'M
injured.
1t was no longer ago than May IL, 1881,
that the remainder of the works, COM
prsing the finishing shops and packing
room, was destroyed by fire. The loss
then was 50 800. Mr.. Brooks is not
discouraged. however. lie purposes at
once to rebuild. and intends to have the
works in full operation again 30 or 81
days hence. The new building will
probably stand about $50 feet farther
down the stream than the old one did.
Work has hitherto been somewhat him

Junction City Union: The Junction
City Provision Company began slaugh-
tering hogs last Saturday, the oath.
About forty hogs were killed. A large
number of citizens were present to wit
ness the opening of this new business
enterprise. The establishment was
built and finished to the most minute
detail under the personal supervision of
MeSsrs. COmstOck and Tolen, and neith-
er pains nor expense were spared in MAX
ing it as complete and perfect as posi-
BILE. Its capacity is 500 hogs daily, and
a corresponding number of beeves.
There is storage for 1,5OO tons of ice,
and the buildings are located so as to
bring the ice from the Republican river
by steam power. About fifty hogs have
been slaughtered each day since. Scott
buys for them. The company will be-
gin packing and shipping Immediately,
but do not expect for awhile yet to
work up to their full capacity.
Why wouldn't packing house pay
in Abilene? 1t would make an excel
lent hog market and would do away
with the live weight shipping to Kan
sas City.

Speaker Carlisle.

The democratic party of this country
has reason to congratulate itself on the
election of Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
as speaker of the Forty-Eighth Con-
gress. He is a man of able parts, pos
sessing a sound judgment, strong will,
a cultivated, practical mind and thor
ough knowledge of parliamentary law
and usages. With Carlisle in the chair,
the democrats need not look for dam
aging party blunder.'
The election of Mr.. Carlisle was also
the triumphant expression of a great
principle in National politics and econ
omy, and the the democratic party there
by declares itself in unequivocal Ian
guage the champion of this principle.
The election of Mr.. Carlisle gives to
the democratic party of the country a
a living issue. The party's attack on a
high and unjust tariff, railroad eXtOr-
tons and the power of mOnopolies, has
not been a mere battle of words. 1t is
found to be sincere in its professions,
and its unmistakable attitude will in
spire confidence and a victorious sup
port.
With a republican Senate and Execu-
tive, it is hardly possible for the demo-
cratic House to reduce the present tariff
rates at this session. But the election
of Speaker Carlisle is an earnest of what
will be done when the propitious time
arrives.
1t cannot now be said that the demo-
cratic party is Janus-faced and slow in
its movements. 1t is to-day the party
of progress; it embraces a living, vital
issue-the reduction of the cost Of the
necessaries of life and the pruning of
an extravagant Governmental system.
Opposed to this idea of the ameliOratiOn
of the condition of the people stands
the republican party. 1t is behind the
car of progress.
The tide is strongly in favor of the
democrats. the light is coming nearer
and growing brighter, and the triumph
of principle over greed and corruption
is only matter of a few months time.

The Presidents Message.

President Arthur sent his message to
the House on Tuesday. 1t is Cypress
lively long and contains nothing remark
able. The usual congratulations are
extended to the country, and our rela-
lions with foreign nations are consider
ed at an improbable length. He OPP
poses governmental control of the tele
graph, and asks that power be bestowed
upon the executive to veto objection
able features of any appropriation bill
without killing the entire bill. The
message closes by recommending furth-
er legislation for the protection of the
Negro. The REFLECTOR will contain
the message in full next week, when it
will be considered at greater length.

Amusements.

The "Iidden Hand" by the White
ley company, drew a large audience to
Bonebrake's Opera House last Wednes-
day evening. The general feeling, at
the close of the performance, was one
of disappointment. The new version
of the play is not so interesting as the
old, and the company is not a strong
one. Miss Hattie Irving, as CapitOla,
was vivaciOus, independent and slangy
enough for all purposes, but her voice,
form and general tone and color were
not equal to the cast. The character of
Wool was well taken in spite of its ex-
aggeration, and Major Warfeld was
reasonably good. Taking all in all,
however, the Whiteley's did not nearly
meet the expectations of the audience.
The Williams Dramatic company ap-
peared at Bonebrake's Opera House last
Friday and Saturday evenings before
pleased audiences. Miss Matte Will
liamS as the Little Duchess" was
charming, original, artistic and decided
ly pretty. The play is one of consider
able interest, audit parts did not suffer
at the hands of the company, the men,
UclO VI huICn NClC SOOu.
ing the whole, the Williams is the best
amateur company which has visited
Abilene this season. Saturday evening,
as kathleen Mayourneen," Miss VIII
liams deepened the favorable impression
she had made the night previous, and
confirmed the belief of her audience
that she was possessed of refinement
and a great deal of artistic ability.
Manager Bonebrake occupies a hard
position. 1t is his endeavOr to secure
good truupes for his Opera House, but
along with many others he is sometimes
imposed upon, as was the case with the
Hidden Hand company. The White
ley's came highly recommended; they
drew the largest audience ever seen in
Clay Center; Manhattan and Junction
City gave them large audiences and the
Emporia and Wichita papers spoke very
highly of them. The fact of the matter
is, the company is one of the poorest ON
the road, and it is high time for the
press of the state to take this matter in
hand and mercilessly expose all such i'm
positions as the Whiteley Hidden Hand
Company.

Blaine's Idea About the Distribution
of the Surplus.

Senator j. G. Blaine, of Maine, in a
little manifesto to the people of this
great Republic, advocates the distribu-
ton of the revenue coming from whis-
ky and tobacco among the various
states, the ratio of distribution being
based on the population.
Coming from Maine statesman. this
idea has novelty about it which charms
at first sight. For thirty-two years
Maine has had prohibition law which
declares the liquor traffic illegal, and for
an equal number of years she has re-
fused to receive revenue from the sale
or manufacture OfliQuOr within her own
borders. And right in the face of this
home-virtue, as it We're. comes the de-
mand for money derived from the liquor
traffic In other states. Shades of de-
parted moonshinerS, Virtuous Maine.
for Maine and Blaine are one. contribu-
ting no part OF this revenue, is yet will
ling to accept enough money to run its
government from the sin and shame OF
the people of other States!
LII MI. Blame S plan should be adopt
ed, prohibition Kansas would receive
yearly about $2,0OO,OO0. The state
taxes OF Kansas would be paid by Ken
lucky or some otherlicense liquor state,
and that which is denounced as a sin
at home would be delightful source of
revenue coming from a sister State.
The plan Is abSurdly ridiculous and
hardly deserves serious consideration.
1t shows to what extent. however. this
rapidly growing national surplus alarms
the republican party. To get rid of it
without touching the tariff. is the idea
of that party, welded as it is to high
protection, combinations and monopo-
lies. The internal revenue tax on vyhis-
Ky or tobacco must not be repealed or
distributed among the several states.
Reduce the tariff on the necessaries of
life, and retain the tax on luxuries.

A New Source of Revenue to the City.

Last Wednesday the six saloon keep
ers of Abilene were arrested under the
recently enacted ordinance which de-
clares saloons common nuiSances. The
cases were brought before Squire Clark,
and the plea of mot guilty. was enter
ed. The defendants were found guilty
by the Court and a fine of $50 assessed
against each. There was no apparent
kicking on the part of the saloon
men, and the $500. were paid into the
city treasury. This probably only the
beginning of a series of prosecutions
which will put Il comfortable sum of
money into the city treasury, and not
too moderate nor too high a tax on the
liquor traffic. The city authorities seem
to be in earnest.

There are 401 electoral votes and it
takes POI to elect. The democrats can
afford to lose New York and yet have
the majority. 1t is almost certain that
California, Colorado and Nevada will
cast their votes for the democrats as they
did for Hancock in 1880. If such hap
pens to be the case the democrats can
afford to lose Ohio and Indiana and still
have 213 votes-12 more than necessary.
And it would be just to put Maine,
Massachusetts and Wisconsin in the list
of doubtful states. The democrats will
carry New York, Ohio and Indiana
next year, and will elect the president.

The Electoral College.

The newspapers of the country are
pretty generally making use of that
-honored privilege of electing the
president year in advance of the cleo
ton. If the figures of political papers
should be correct there would be no use
in holding elections, and both parties
would enjoy the supreme pleasure of
possessing the president. But to be
serious, the outlook is very favorable to
the democrats. Here is our table:
