heats ever scored by any stallion. He made the
first mile in 2.15, second in 2.1412 and third in

Presidents Message.


President ARTHUR'S last message
has been given to the public. 1t is a
comprehensive document, plainness of
style and business directness being its
chief characteristics. tbs just such
statement of governmental affairs as
would be expected from the President.
The relations of the United States are
amicable with all the nations of the
earth; the enlargement of our CONNER
cial intercourse with other nations is
recommended; better diplomatic and
consular service is needed; the further
coinage of silver dollars is discouraged;
the restoration of the navy is recon-
mended, and by liberal mail contracts
the government should encourage the
growth Of our merchant marine; the In
dian policy is endorsed and the repeal of
the presumption law is asked for, and
the successful working of the civil SER
vice commission is acknowledged. The
President comes very near to the dem
ocratic idea by recommending that such
goods as We do not produce be entered
free where reciprocal treaties exist; the
removal of tonnage dues and national
from vessels plying between
the United States and other countries,
the relief to operate on both sides; the
of a salaried consular
service as opposed to the present fee
system; the enactment of measures IA
yoring the construction and maintain |
ance of steam carrying marine under
the American flag and the establishment |
Of uniform currency for the countries
Of America. Concluding this subject
the President says: at seems to me
hat many of the embarrassing elements !

The REFLECTOR recognizes Gen.
BLAIR to be highly cultivated, educa-
ted and honorable gentleman, but if tho
portfolio of the Secretary of the Inte-
rior. is to be given to Kansas it wants
the honor conferred upon Gov. CLICK,
the leader of Kansas democracy. The
Governors record as chief executive of
this state; his efforts in behalf of the
people in their fight against monopolies,
and his action at Chicago as the head
of the Kansas delegation, entitle him
to the position.

Capt. Payne Dead.

Capt. DAVID L. PAYNE, better known
as Oklahoma PAYNE, died suddenly
at Wellington, Kansas, last week. His
death is of special moment to large
number of persons who looked to him
as their leader, and deserves more than
passing notice from the people of this
state.
He was born in Indiana but came to
Kansas when not more than Is years of
age. Locating in Doniphan county, he
served as scout during the early his
tory of the State and earned a reputa-
ton for skill and bravery which landed
him into the Kansas legislature, where
he served his constituents with honor
to himself and credit to them. After
the war, in which he served with dis
tinction, he was elected to the legisla-
ture from Sedgwick county, and after
wards served as Sergeant-at-Arms of
the national House of Representatives.
The latter years of his life have been
identified with repeated attempts to
open the Oklahoma lands of the Indian
territory to actual settlers. Possessed
of a firm idea that the lands, the fairest
and richest on the continent, rightfully
belonged to the public, he led several
colonies into the promised lanS only to
be driven out by United States authori-
tiles. Persisting in the face of great
obstacles and discouragements, which
would have overwhelmed a man less
brave and determined, he was preparing
another attempt to make his darling
scheme successful when death called
him away.
Capt. PAYNE was giant physically,
and honest, brave and generous after
the style of the western frontiersman.
Although dead, it is to be hoped that
his idea will prevail. The lands he
sought to obtain for actual settlers are
rich, fruitful and enticing. They are
given up to large herds of cattle, owned |
by men who pay no rent but who are
rich at the expense of thous-
ands of settlers who are waiting for the |
barriers to be burned away.
We are glad to note that Judge Eos
TER, of Kansas, has lately declared that |
It is no crime to settle upon the Okla
loma lands. We trust that this decis-
on will lead to a speedy opening of that
portion of the Territory to actual home
,teaderS.

ton and free trade may thus be turned
to good account, that the revenues may
be reduced SO as to no longer overtax
the people, and that protective duties
may be retained without becoming bur
densome."
1t will be seen that the President
stands almost wholly upon democratic
ground. The democratic party has
r~var bcen a free trade party pure and
Simple. It wishes only to reduce the
tariff to the needs of the government
economically administered; it wishes by
wise and liberal measures to encourage
the growth of our merchant marine I'M
til the commerce of this country shall be
as nearly as possible wholly carried in
American bottoms. President Arthur
is in accord with this policy, and there
fore opposed to the high tariff, restric
tive policy of the republican party.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-12-04

High tariff advocates want the sur
plus reduced by the abrogation of inter-
nal taxes on whisky and tobacco. Are
the people of Kansas in favor of cheap
whisky and tobacco, and willing to keep
the necessaries of life at the present
high point? The surplus must be re-
duced and done away with. All agree
on that point. And to do that custom
duties must be reduced or the tax on
whisky and tobacco must go. Here is
the dividing line. As Kansas is a pro-
hibition state we should naturally con-
clude that her people would be in favor
of a reduction of the tariff.

Still Snarling at the South.

1t seems impossible for editor HART
to let up on his senseless, dyspeptiC
unpatriotic attacks upon the south.
Seemingly unable to learn anything,
with heart full of bile, prejudice and
hate, he seeks to perpetuate sectional
bitterness so far. as his limited power
will permit. Fortunately, his influence
is confined to very small circle, and
the larger heart of the nation beats re-
sponsive to the changed and changing
condition of things: The noble utter
ances of the southern press and people
before and after the election are appre-
ciated by the manly men of the north,
who accept them in the spirit in which
they were uttered. Closer commercial
and social relations between the two
sections are bearing their legitimate
fruit. The war has long been over; its
results have long ago been cheerfully
accepted, and in the grand race of pro-
gress the South is keeping well abreast
of the Moth.
Ignoring this state of things, last
weeks Chronicle frenziedly says:
''In the name of all that was fair and
decent, why did not the South consider
this a reunited country when the war
closed? Was ever whipped foe treat
ed with greater leniency? Was any
thing left undOne On the part of the
North to show a desire for peace and
good will, and united, happy and pros
porous country2ns / -
The foregoing is but a mild sample
of long, incendiary article. The ques-
tons which the gallant and manly (?)"
editor asks are not difficult to answer.
Mr.. BLAINE's,Augusta speech answers
them. The republican party has been
sectional party; it has lived upon its
heretofore successful efforts to infame
the hate of the North against the South;
it has traduced and yillifed the South
and her people ever since the close of
the war; the reconstruction period dis
franchised the whites and elevated to
power ignorant negroes and white
scOundrels or caFpet-baggers; that pc
Rod impoverished the South more than
the ravages Of war; immense debts were
on the Southern states with
out one cent of benefit being derived
When at last, some ten or twelve years
ago, the democratssf egained, control of
the South, her people were and have |
been spit upon and treated like dogs by I
such men as editor HART. But not
withstanding this unmanly abuse, the
South continued on the even tenor of
its way; its material and educational |
progress has been phenomenal; the non
producing and non-tax-paying negroes
have enjoyed school privileges equally
with the whites, and the tone great de-
sire of the South was to forget the mem
Ories of the war and to be reunited in
a spirit of generous brotherhood with
the people of the North
Is itany wonder that the South. re-
oices over the election of CLEVELAND
Is being the death blow to all future
sectional hate and bitterness? And is
t any wonder that joy that has been in
creased since Mr. BLAINE opened the
7ials of his wrath and hate of the South
1t Augusta?
But we believe that an era of peace,
brotherly love and national
aspect has dawned upon the country;
md the sooner the croakers, both North
md South, are silenced the better it
t will be for the whole country.

It is said that Mr.. LOGAN is looking
ahead to 1888, and that he doesn't pro-
pose to play second fiddle to BLAINE or
any other man. Well, we believe we
rather favor LOGAN as the republican
nominee for President in 1888. He
came very near losing his state as a
Vice-Presidential candidate, and as a
Presidential candidate he would COM
pletely wipe out the republican major
ity in Illinois.

PUsEY, chief clerk of the Kansas
Penitentiary at Leavenworth, is an en-
bezzler of the funds of that pop-

about $4,000. Women and wine are

He was an appointee of the board of di-
rectors of the Penitentiary. PUssEY
was popular with those who knew him.
and if he had been an oat-and-out dem
