TO OUR PATRONS.

The REFLECTOR is now in its third
year, and during that time we have
to the best of our ability, labored for
the political, social and business inter
ests of our people; and judging from
the kind words, many favOrs and nu-
merous tangible evidences of apprecia-
ton, We feel that our labOrS have not
been in vain, and for all of which we
are very thankful, and especially SO to
our business men for their liberal pat
ronage.
And now, as the firm of Srother Bros.
"step down and OUT to be known in
the future as Strother & Lifts, they do
so hoping that the new firm may con-
tinue to receive the liberal patronage
which has been accorded to them.
To more fully explain the above, we
will say that half interest of the RE-
FLECTOR has been sold to HENRY
LIFTS, and that he will enter upon his
duties Immediately. He is too well
known to our readers to need an intro
duction, but we take pleasure in saying
that the new firm will spare no pains
to make the REFLECTOR spicy, newsy
and interesting to all-in fact, make it
the peoples paper Of Dickinson county.
We now introduce to you the new firm,
B. l.. STROTHER and HENRY LIFTS,
who will have full control of the RE-
FLECTOR after this issue.

DR.. BURCHARD has been interviewed
about the political situation in New
York, and, after mature reflection,
stated that he had no opinion to ex-
press He was remined that the
prominent part he took in the Blaine
campaign might make such an opinion
of interest, but still had nothing to say
about the republican ticket, except that
''in his private opinion it is an excel
lent ticket,' and as to the democratic
ticket, he ''had nothing to say about
it, The doctor evidently fears that if
she opens his mouth he will put his
foot in it, again.

L. Z. HOFFMAN. editor of the st.
Mary'S Express, and we'll known to
many of our readers, died democratic
death last week, and after three days
was resurrected a republican. He says
in his salutatOry that the change was
brought about by the democratic party's
violent opposition to the prohibitOry
law. Poor Lu, in local way the re-
publicans of your county may be strong
prohibitiOnists, but in a national sense
it is far from it, and it looks to the RE-
FLECToR as if you had jumped from
the frying pan into the fire. Yes, Lu,
in throwing yourself with the republi-
can party ON account of its prohibition
principles, you have done so blindly, for
the republican party is ahypocrite upon
the issue, and is now straddle the
whisky barrel!with straw in the 'bung
hole"

Judge FoRAKER's men challenged
Gov. HoADLY for a discussion on the
issues of the campaign, whereupon the
HoADLY men sent the following bomb
shell to the Judge: ''If Judge FORA
KER will declare whether he is an ally
or an enemy to the prohibition party,
whether he is in favor of prohibition or
against it, we will be pleased to meet
with YOU" This created CONSERVATION
in the camp, and as yet, FORAKER has
not been able to define his position.
Poor fellow, he has straddled the
whisky barrel with his party, and he
does not know which side to get off on,
and for him to remain where he is, is
sure defeat. Truly, the dilema lisa per-
picking one.

AS this has been reunion week the
papers have devoted special attention
to Kansas and her military record. The
G Commonwealth says: There are more
veteran union soldiers in Kansas to-day
than our whole population numbered
when the shot was fired on Sumpter.
We had just come through the drought
of 1850; we had lost many settlers,
and outsiders called us starving" Kan
sas-after the bleeding Of six years
the worst case of territorial blOod-let-
ting on record. Some of us wore flour
sacks, stamped in red, white and blue,
on the seats of our pantaloons. Our
clothes were of the Oldest, thineSt and
cheapest, but we ''Were SO'St to be
about" Nobody in the country eX-
pected any help from Kansas when the
war broke out-nO more than we should
now expect from Arizona or Alaska.
Yet our boys had begun to drill during
the winter of 81, and when troops were
called for we had anticipated every call.
The First Kansas was one of the first
three years regiments mustered into
the service in any part of the union.
This bleeding" begging" starving"
Kansas actually came out of the war A
l, ahead of the whole column of states
more soldiers enlisted, compared to
our population, and greater ratio of
losses. This is not bOasting. Here is
Captain Phisterer's Statistical Re
cord" published in 1888, and made up
from the fullest records in the posses
sion of the government:
Under President LincOln's call of
April Is, 1861, the quota for Kansas
was nothing. We had been in the
Union seventy-fve days. But we fur
nished, "all the same,'' $50 men.
Under the call of May g., 81, the
quota for the baby state was 3 ,235, and
the infant came forward with 6,952
men.
Under the next calls of October II,
'63 and February 1, '64, our quota was
1925, and we furnished 1874 men.
Our quota for March IA, '64, was
400; and the number of men fur
niShed was 1858.
The calls for hundred days men, and
between April and July, '64, were not
made upon Kansas, but she furnished
440 men.
Under the call of July Is, 1864, no
quota was assigned to Kansas; she fur
45l men.
Under the call of December 10, 1854,
our quota was ,222 men; we furnished
SS3, all but 339, when the order came
stopping enliStments. So it went; Kan
sas always up and a-cOming.

HOUSE

WASHINGTON, February 3. - The house
agreed to the senate amendment to the house
concurrent resolution making arrangements
for counting the election vote.
Stewart, Texas, from the committee on
foreign affairs, requesting the president to
take all necessary and proper measures to as
sure Julio II. Santos, an American. impris-
oned in Ecuador, q speedy and impartial trial,
and protect him in his life and property.
Representatives Eaton, Lamb and Rice. of
the committee on foreign affairs madea re
port to the full committee on the resolutions
recently referred to them, calling upon the
secretary of state for such information as he
might nave relative to any American citizen
The committee holds that to adopt resolu-
tions of the character referred to, weuld be an
acknowledgement that citizens of the United
States, were parties to the conspiracy against
England. and connected with the recent en-
plosions in London, 1t Is believed that con-
gress ought not to assume such a position.
Tho report was tabled. The sub
ject in another form will be considered
again at the meeting next Thursday.
The consideration of the river and harbor
bill was resumed in the committee of the
whole. Hepburn suggested that it might be
more economical for the United States to
move Galveston to a harbor than try to move
a harbor to Galveston. After speaking n
good word for the Hennepin canal he opposed
the appropriation for the Mississippi river.
He did not think it advisable for the govern
ment to go on with the work which would
cost $3.50. 900, 900 When it was shown by
reports of the commission itself, that the
work was strictly experimental. TIL general
debate closed and the first section of the bill
| was read. Pending further action the com
mittee rose and the house adjourned.

Carter Harrison's Little Gsme.

Special telegram to the BEE.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, February 3.-There is
much speculation and anxiety over the caucus
of the democratic members of the two houses
of the legislature appointed for tomorrow
night to nominate a candidate for United
States senator. Carter Harrison's friends are
determined either to postpone or burst the
democratic legislative caucus, which they will
not be able to control tomorrow night. There
are unexpected changes between now and
then. TIL destruction of this caucus may be
wrought by Harrison instructing about ten o
| his men to refuse to go to the caucus unless il
is postponed until Friday night, when an
other excuse could be manufactured for
still further postponing it. The friends Of
have dropped on to Harrison's game, and will
insist upon the caucus meeting tomorrow
night, trusting to parley, discipline, and
| plentiful promises to whip in Harrison's kick
ers. Harrison wants 1t free for all and his
followers are ready to burst the caucus to Sc
cure it. His "phalanx" from Chicago haf
arrived and the city hall crowd are expected
this afternoon. There is no prospect of 8
full democratic caucus tomorrow night or a,
any other time. The rumor that Genera.
Black has made an alliance with Harrison Il
not credited. The republican house caucus
will meet this afternoon and appoint a com,
mittee to act with the senate committee and
call the United States senatorial caucus fol-
| Saturday.
