That Able-Bodied Liar Again.

by : o clock there were at least 1aOOC people

Sl9nlatiah, junction City, Chapman, Ellsworth
Sallna, solomon and other points brought i'm
thousands. There were, at least count between

lpating IN the republican boom. The profession
IN the evening was one and half miles lone and
numbered AT least 1000 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Press
dispatch describing the Abilene republican rally.
That sounds pretty, doesn't it? And
the Wilson's are the agents of the Assoc
GATED Press. Kansas is full of Asso-
clated Press agents whose optics are SO
strangely constructed that a republican
rally appears to them to be five or six
times as large as it really is, and at the
same time are incapable of seeing a
democratic rally. And it will be very
Siberian day when the Wilson's fail to
head this procession of peculiarly con-
structed press agents. The fact of the
matter IS, not more than 1000 people,
town people, men, women and children,
participated in the rally. The special
trains did not bring more than l 800
people, land the procession was Just seven
blocks long and contained 464 torches,
not including the bands. The Wilson's
are respectfully referred to the immortal
words uttered some time ago by the
next President of the United States:

Last Friday night, at the close of the
big republican rally the boys who belong
to the republican menagerie broke loose
and had big time" The town was

"A ride through the townships of Lo-
gan and Ridge reveals a very beautiful
and fertile country, and the improve
ments will be found to be substantial
and indicative of prosperity. Nesting
on the bosom of the broad prairie, al
most on the line which divides Ridge
and Hope township, is the village of
Hope. Surrounded by rich farms, it
enjoys an almost Arcadian quiet and
beauty. But the people do not shut
themselves out of the world. They
read and think and travel. and last Sat
day. the day of our visit, political speak
erS talked 10 attentive audiences. Rev.
Tenney, MeSSrs. Wakefield and Teats
propOunded the doctrine of the Peoples
Party, and in the evening Mr.. Over
meyer, the great resubmiSsiOn and
Click republican, and Mr.. c. Is. Hoff-
man, spoke on state issues. The Hope
Herald, clean and spicy, has comfOrta-
bic quarters, and Henquenet told how
the railroad station had been stolen
from him. His addition to the city of
Hope is remarkably fine one. The
railroad, which is rapidly approaching
the town, will destroy the ideal quiet
of the place but will introduce material
growth and prosperity. The two meals
eaten at the Hope House were good
and substantial, the people we met were
pleasant and intelligent, and altogether
we were very favOrably impressed with
Hope.

The Farmers Insurance Co. Again.

y meeting of the policy holders or
stockholders of the above company was
held in the Court House in Abilene last
Tuesday, and was largely attended. III.
Ii. Mcdonald, of Garfield, presided,
and Is. e.. CranStOn and j. NJ. Fisher
acted as secretaries.
Mr.. Samuel Palmer made the princi-
pal speech of the meeting, wherein he
openly charged that the attitude of the
company was dishonest and the meth
DDS of its business were dishonest. He
claimed that the investigating commit
tee appointed by the June meeting had
not been allowed to examine the books;
that the chairman of that committee,
Mr.. y. L. Collins, of Saline, had had
his policy cancelled by the company to
destroy his right to examine the books,
and that the cancellation was not asked
for by Mr.. Collins. Mr.. Palmer re-
counted other facts. and his speech
throughout was severe arraignment
OF the cOmpany'S management. The
officers or the company refused to meet
with the large and intelligent body of
policy holders who wanted their notes,
and Mr.. Campbelrs effort to dictate to
them as the cOmpany's legal adviser
was resented. Mr.. Campbell, in a very
unlawyer-like way, lost his temper and
threatened the policy-hOlder, who, in
turn, treated with derision and groans
whatever Mr.. Campbell attempted to
say. For an hour or more the meeting
was very much excited and disOrderly
one. The policy holders wanted to sur
render their policies and get their pre-
MUM notes, but the company refused
to surrender the notes unless short rates
were paid. This is the point at issue.
There is no doubt that many policy
holders are completely estranged from
the company and will withdraw. The
matter has gone too far now for IN
amicable settlement. At one time. by
a full and free exposure of the business
of the company, the trouble might have
been stopped i'll its incipiency. Now,
it is question on the part of the policy
holders how to get out of the company,
and we must confess that the weight of
popular sympathy is with the policy
holders. The meeting adjourned to
meet on Tuesday, Oct. q, at the Court
House in Abilene.

The REFLECTOR was favored with a
campaign document from the republi-
can state central committee last Satnr-
day. 1t reached us early in the morn
ing, and proved to be the speech !.
Is. johnson delivered at Abilene Oct. 3.
The republican committee was too pre-
vlouS. 1t should have at least waited a
day or two after its delivery before
sending the speech through the mails.
But II was a cut-and-dried affair and
was to prove that Gov. Click was a
confederate sympathizer. . Therefore
the haste to send it out. The effect of
1t IS not good. The people of the
state, and more particularly those who
heard the speech, will want to know
why Gen. Rlce'S record wasn't shown
up. Gen. Rice was one of the Abilene
speakers and he heads the republican
electoral ticket. During the war he
lived III Georgia and was an active and
pronounced rebel. If to be a ssconfed-
crate Sympathizer' in the case of Gov.
CLICK IS such a heinous Offense. how
much worse is it to be an active rebel
as in the case of Gen. Rice? Does re-
pubLcanism wash out all stains of dis
loyalty? Looking at Gems. LOnrstreet.
MOsby, Malone and Rice, we are forced
TO confess that it looks very much that
way.

About the thinnest nol;t;oo, s,,,.

About the thinnest political schema
ever invented, is the republican propos-
al put for and against resubmission,,
on their tickets. Suppose the total
vote cast in the North district to he
1000. If Mr.. Burton gets 500 of them
he will be elected. But suppose 500 of
the 500 vote against resubmission. Then
Mr.. Burton will consider that he is in
structed to vote against resubmission
This scheme, if successful, will defeat
the Will of the majority as the republic
can leaders propose that it shall do. In
the foregoing case 1000 votes are pOlled
In favor of reSubmiSsion and 500 against
resubmlssion. Republican prohibition
lists are magnanimous, are they mott
Ihey say: Wen disfranchise the
democrats, greenbackers and anti-mo-
nopolists, and practically, we'll disfran-
chlse the resubmissionists,f for we'll ont
vote them. Our scheme is good he
cause it will defeat resubmission and at
the same time the "Reminiscences

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
AnccdOte OF Mrs. Carlyle.

When Jane Welsh, who married
Thomas Carlyle, was girl, she was so
full of life and energy as to be a match
flor the boys in running and leaping
One of the feats which made her fam
GUS in her native village was the ease
with which she could surmount a
wall seven feet high around the ceme-
terry. Years afterwards, when she
had become an old lady, she revisited
the village. but walked the streets
without being recognized by any Of
the companions of her youth. A sim
gle action, however, betrayed her. She
had made an arrangement with
the sexton to be at the cemetery at
early morn to unlock the gate. She
was present earlier than the appointed
hour, and after some time grew i'm
patient, for she was eager to look
on the graves of her revered parents.
In her veXation at the long delay she
remembered the feat of her girlhood,
and though the suppleness of youth
had gone she managed to repeat the
feat with tolerable ease. One of the
old residents saw it, and soon after,
meeting her vcnturcd to ask: as not
this Jennie Welsh2 thought it must
be you, for there was never another
girl in town who could get over the
wall in that fashion"

The Heroic Mother

We see household brought up we'll.
A mother who took alone the burden
of life, when her husband laid it
down, without much property, out of
her perjury, by her planning and in
austry, night and day, by her fullness
of love, by her fidelity, bring up her
children; and life has six men, all of
whom are like pillars in the temple OF
God. And O, do not read to me of
the campaigns of Caesar; tell me
nothing about Napo,eons wonderful
exploits; I tell you that, as God and
angels look down upon the silent his
tory of that woman's administration,
and upon those men-bnilding processes
which went on in her heart and mind
through score of years, nothing ex-
tcrnal no outward development OF
kingdoms, no empire buildings, can
compare with what she done. Nothing
can compare in beauty, and wonder
and admirableness, and divinity itself
to the silent work in obscure dwellings
of faithful women bringing their
children to honor and virtue and piety.
I tell you, the inside is larger than the
outside. The loom is more than the
fabric. The thinker is more than the
thought. The builder is more than the
building.-Henry Ward Beecher.
