The Liquor Question Illustrated.

The liquor cases from Solomon City
came before the District Court last week
and with one exception, where the plea
of guilty was entered, the defendants
were acquitted. In several of the cases
the plaintiff refused to prosecute, and
where a trial was had cOnvicting testl-
mony could not be drawn from the wit
nesses. The experience in these cases
is duplicated in all parts of the State.
Convictions very rarely result from tri-
ais of this nature, and the city or state
is thrown into heavy costs. No one
doubts that the prohibitory amendment
is openly violated, but conviction is
almost impossible. This statement is
a truth, and if it proves anything, it
proves that prohibition is failure be-
cause it is not backed by public senti-
ment. The experiment is failure,
and to maintain the dignity of law it is
necessary to re-submit the amendment
and repeal it. AS temperance man
and good citizen, who believes in the
enforcement of law, we make this state
ment

The Judicial Fight.

1t is to be regretted that the judicial
campaign is giving birth to personalities.
There is no doubt that Capt. Mcclure
is candidate in good faith, and that
his friends are fighting what they be-
lieve to be an oppressive and unbearable
ring power. Older settlers than we say
that this is fact, proved by the actions
of the well-known individuals of the
ring. Whether it is a ringpower or not
which is opposing Capt. Mcclure, it is
certainly doing Mr.. Nicholson no good
for his friends to defame and question
the personal honesty and integrity OF the
former gentleman. The Capt. is too
well known and has too many warm
friends in this county for any attack OF
that nature to succeed. Nor has the
REFLECTOR a single word to say against
Mr.. Nicholson. If elected hewlll make
good Judge, but it is not at all certain
that he would honor the bench with the
equal grace and ability which Capt.
Mcclure would bring to it.
Here, then, is the main question at
issue? Which one of the two candi-
dates is best fitted for the position
Which one has the superior knowledge
of law and mind more than Ordinari-
ly capable of sitting intricate and per-
picking evidence and points of law and
rendering calm, impartial decisions?
These questions should be considered
without prejudice and from under the
influence of outside pressure OF what
ever nature, and the honest conviction
| should influence the vote.
Capt. Mcclure has lived in this sec
ton of the state for a quarter of a CEN
fury. His personal character is with
out blemish his legal attachments are
of the highest order, and his record In
the higher courts of law is one to be
proud of. His integrity and manhood
are as firm and unyielding as the lime,
stone hills which surround the city In
which he has his home.
Nh. Nicholson is younger man OF
good report, and man of considerable
promise. Should he be elected no very
serious mistake would be made.

Very Troublesome.

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in regard to the civil rights bill is
very annoying to the republican party.
As matter of fact, the decision does
not interfere with the rights of the col
ored citizen, but as a matter of princi-
pie the colored citizen objects to it. The
colored vote has kept the republican
party in power for the past twenty
years; without it, the party of moral
ideas and equality would have been
dead long ago. But Notwithstanding
the fact that the colored voters have
been almost unanimous in their support
of the republican party for the past
twenty years, that party has IN no way
recognized the colored race. And the
decision of the Supreme Court, the MEM
bers of which, with one exception, are
all republicans, has opened the eyes of
the intelligent colored people. They
now see that they have been ignored in
the past by the party they have so faith
fully supported, and the neglect now
amounts to desertiOn. Will they con-
tinue to support party which has al
ways used them as tools? They will
not. They will teach the republican
party "a thing or two.''

If You Tell Part, Tell ALI.

1t is used against Mr.. Neumuller,
candidate for Commissioner of the Bird
District, that he pays an insignificant
county tax. Granted that he pays a
county tax of only S1.3S, it is just
that much more than his antagOn-
list, Mr.. Blevins, pays. But this tax
matter is of no moment, only it serves
the purposes of the Abilene ring to mis-
represent Mr.. Neumuller. Mr.. Neu-
muller is one of the best business men
of Dickinson county. The milling firm
of Neumuller & Hallowell, of Solomon
City, do a business of about $500, 600
per year. Fully two thirds of the grain
they use is furnished by Dickinson
county farmers, and it is the most ri
diculous folly in the world to say that
a man who pays thousands of dollars to
the farmers of a county has no interest
in that county. And the farmers have
always found an honest, straight-for-
ward man of business in Mr.. Neumuller.

Remember These Things.

The Abilene wing of the republican
party of this county is raising the party
cry and, with the party lash, is trying
to whip the independent voters into
ranks. Will the desperate cry of the
ring which has been fastened on this
county for so many years, succeed?
The intelligent voters of this county
know that policy, and not principle, has
been and is the guiding star of the ring;
that the ''loaves and fishes are it's in
spiration. And before you bare your
back to the lash, honest and intelligent
farmer, suppose you look the situation
in the face and ask Yourself, "Why
should my vote help to perpetuate the
power of the Abilene ringp''
At the nominating convention this
ring tried to strangle Mayor FansOn, of
Enterprise, in its selfish haste to nomi-
nate Mr.. Brunson. This same ring sac
rifced Mr. Geauque, a temperance man,
and betrayed him for its present candi-
date for Sheriff. Mr.. Pray and others
were butchered for the sake of Mr..
Blevins, who is to work for the benefit
of the ring. At the convention which
met to elect delegates to the Junction
City convention, the ring took charge
of matters, packed the court house and
dictated it's own terms. And this ring
nominated Mr.. Nicholson.
In the face of these and other high
handed proceedings, will the honest vO-
tiers of the county identify themselves
with the ring? There may be nothing
against the personal characters of the
ring candidates, but they are unfOrtu-
nate in being backed, supported and
controlled by an odiOus ring power.

Kansas Railroad Lands.

Commissioner Johnson, of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany, denied that the 1000, 900 acres
of land recently restored to market were
claimed by the said railroad company.
But State Agent Crawford has just
published letter which utterly demOl-
ishes Mr.. Johnson's denial and places
that gentleman in very unenviable
light.
1.-The correspondence and maps of the
country says the Kansas City Times,
commenting editorially on the matter,
''show conclusively that these lands
were claimed all along by managers of
the railroad. The best evidence in the
world of assumed ownership is to offer
them for sale. More than 100 sections
of this large tract thus restored to the
people were offered for sale, on eleven
years credit, with interest at per
cent, Either Mr.. Johnson did not know
of this, or else he deliberately told what
he knew was not true in order to shield
the company and cover up the evident
collision of the republican party with
this Unsuitable corporation.
On the Goth of June last the company
admitted, through its attorneys, that
the land grants to the company had
been fully adjusted in 1875, that it had
received then all the lands to which it
was entitled, but still it has gone on
claiming all this land as its own, and
exercising towards it the highest rights
of ownership.
Since the election a year ago there
has been very marked change in the
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1883-11-01

attitude of the government and the
courts toward the great corporations
that were ruling this country through
their influence in the government. 1t
was plain that the day ofreckoning was
coming, that the people were awaken
ing, and like many another guilty sim
ner they began to ''set their house in
order, for they would surely die, and
not live" If the probable advent to
power of the democratic party would
cause such a reformation, what may we
expect when the republicans are fully
routed from their stronghOlds and a
complete reform in all the departments
inaugllrated. Kansas has already an
earnest of what would be done in what
Governor Click has achieved in the few
months he has filled the executive chair.
The recent developments will certain
ly have marked influence on the COM
ing election in Kansas. People cannot
help seeing the collision of their trust
ed party with the powerful corporations.
1t was long standing argument that
the democratic party offered no warrant
that it was to be trusted, or any guar
anty of ability to carry on the govern
ment, but here is convincing evidence
that it has not only the ability to do,
but the courage to do, the work so i'm
peratively demanded.
The tide sets stronger to-day in favor
of the ultimate triumph of the demo
cratic party than it did in November
last year, and it will be impossible tc
stop its progress.

The Ring Cry.

The ring cry of ''vote for this or that
man because he is republican" Will
not waken much enthusiasm IN this
county. The time has gone by when a
mans partizan prejudices will elect him
to office. The people have had enough
of it. They want good, honest, capable
men at the head of affairs, and they
naturally look with suspicion upon a
ticket which is backed and supported
by ring which has become odious to
them. And in a case OF this kind, a
peoples suspicion is pretty generally
correct.

to be free from jealousy, bitterness,
unfairness, and the people have en-

The REFLECTOR has no other advice to

this. The ring of politicians which has
ruled this county for so many years is
trying to raise the party flag and to say
to men: 'You must vote for this man
or that man because he is arepublican. "

ing for the republican party only so far
