Western Investments.

The following extract from an edi-
torial in the Rochester, n. Y. S,adal
Morning Herald, indicates that G. W.
c. Rohrer, the reformed" is getting
in his work among the Eastern people
in the interest of the Kansas AgricuI-
tural Land company, Of Abilene, of
which GEORGE WASHINGTON is the
capable secretary:
There is now in the eastern states a
large amount of capital seeking safe
and remunerative investment. 1t is diff
ficult to secure loans that are safe and
will pay anything like a remuneratiye
rate of interest. The facts in regard to
the rapid development and filling up of
the west seems to put it beyond ques-
ton that there can be no safer or more
desirable investment than the purchase
of western land, provided it be of good
quality and in growing section.
In our last weeks issue there was
an advertisement of Kansas agricultu-
raj lands. now offered to local investors
While we have no personal knowledge
of the value of those lands, it seems to
US if they are what they are represented
to be, they are worthy the attention of
our capitalists. No state in the union
is filling up faster than Kansas. and no
state presents more satisfactory agri-
cultural showing. If these lands are as
good as the mojOrity in that state are.
they will be worth good deal of money
in few years.

The pumpkin editor of the Gazette
still AYERS with great and characteristic
positiveness that slow freights on Kan
sas wheat would not increase the value
to the farmer a thousandth part of a
cent per bushel.'' We should be pleas
ed to have the pumpkin advance some
arguments to support his position. If
the freight on wheat from Abilene to
Kansas City should be reduced three
cents per bushel, why couldn't the
grain buyer of this city afford to pay
the farmer three cents more per bushel
for his wheat? Before going deeper in
to the question we will wait for our
learned and esteemed pumpkin to de-
fine his position. We want ideas.

The blue law, known as the temper
ance bill, has passed both houses of the
Kansas Legislature, and only needs the
Governors signature to become law.
The Governor will probably sign it.
This way of settling the prohibition
question within party lines may be ac-
ceptable to the republican party, but it
will not be favorably considered by any
man who respects his manhood. An
attempt to enforce the more obnoxious
parts of the law will kill the republican
party. The REFLECTOR is in favor of
temperance, but it doesn't believe in an
arbitrary and inquisitOrial invasion of
popular rights and individual liberty.

If Grover Cleveland imagines he can
please all the wings of the Democratic
party, he is a fool. The Democratic
party is made up largely of kickers, men
who take a special delight in opposing
everything done. On every public ques-
ton the party is divided, often repre-
senting the two extremes. To attempt
to harmonic these conflicting elements
is to attempt an utter impOssibility.-

But when the democratic party faces
the ballot box they are united and har-

Yesterday would seem to indicate a
substantial and gratifying unity of the
party at the late November election.

among other things:
l intend that what I say shall apply

been holding out the olive branch to
you violatorS of the prohibitory liquor
law in the hope that you would reform
and cease to violate the law. But [
have made the discovery that in this
county, at any rate, l have Just been
giving you license to continue the traf-

the power to license saloons. and |
shall not do it any more. Let this law
be good or bad, it is your duty. in COM
mon with all other citizens. to obey it.
There is no excuse for violating it.
There is no morbid appetite on your
part to be gratified like there is with
the man who drinks your liquor: and
the charity that we are disposed to eXer-
else toward him, you are not entitled to.
One thing that strikes me as remarka-
BILE is, that as a class you claim the
right to violate the laws Of the state,
but as soon as you are brought into
court you urge strenuously your rights
under the law. Your course, to say
the least, has the merit of being cheeky
AS Isaid, l came here holding out the
olive branch to you-in this county es-
pecially-with the hope that you would
see 1 wasn't prosecuting you. But that
seems to have merely encouraged the
open and notorious violation of the law. |

Ex-Gov. Geo. Z. ANTHONY, of Leav-
enworth. is said to be the brainiest
man in the state, but in his speech on
the railroad bill he stated that the
farmers of Kansas were oppressed by
incoming and not by outgoing freights,
that the consumer paid the freights.
That such a palpabIe and iHeXcusable
misstatement should emanate from
such a source is deplOrable. If he hon
estIy believes what he says we must
conclude that his brain power is eXag-
gerated. If he makes the statement
designedly, for the purpose of deceiving
the people on great question of vital
interest. he lacks a great deal of being
an honest man. Whichever way it may
be understood, his position hurts him
in the estimation of the people,
