THE BUSINESS ourLooIk.

The New York Herald has inter
viewed number of the leading stock
brokers and iinancicrs of that city upon
the advances in stocks with view Of
finding out whether they consider what
is termed "the boom healthy and
permanent one. These opinions, al
though they vary to a considerable
extent, are interesting.
a majority of those whose views are
given do not hesitate to say that the
advances are due to a Legitimate re
yiyal of the industries Of the country,
and more notably the railroad business.
They attribute the increased business
of the railroads to the fact that the lines
have ceased to fight each other so
savagcly, and that freight rates having
been restored people who have money
are once more willing to invest in
stocks since there is some chance of
making more profitable investments.
The long and almost relentless war
That was carried ON between the great
railroads cut down the earnings, ,lessencd
The amount OF money paid out to en-
ployes, ana the companies became so
cramped Tor FUNDS that railroad build
ing was curtalled, and TINS had de-
pressing effect upon the iron and steel
industries, which are SO closely allied
with the railroads.
Then, too, the prices OF provisions
were so low all last year that farmers
suffered financially, and altogether the
country has passed through season OF
depression somewhat similar to the pc
Rod Immediately following the panic
oi 1873, though not near so serious In
lis consequences.
Whilst the majority OF the opinions
are to the effect that the advances in
stocks are healthy, with the most
favorable prospects Tor the future
others are adduced to show that the
tremendous rise OF the past few weeks
is drcadfully unhealthy thing for the
country, and the reason assigned IS

ITIs "sToRIED, says Washington
correspondent, with slight variation
sf the usual phraseology employed by
1he correspondents when they want to
say something for which there isn't
the shadow of foundation, that the
President in his forthcoming message
TO Congress will recommend considera-
lion of the proposed woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution. THE
CmTIc is not disposed to believe that he
will do anything Of the kind--at least,
10 the extent of recommending the
adoption of such an amendment. 1t is
not improbable that he will suggest the
subject as one entitled to respectful
treatment His sense of justice as
statesman and his gallantry as bach
el0r might furnish the inspiration for

ties south of us. The new road (if we
vote the bonds) will give us stock in
said road to the amount of $3.50 900.
Now some say that does not amount to
anything, that we will never derive any
benefit from that source. Now that
might be true as far as disposing of the
stock for one hundred cents on the dol
lar is concerned, but then we might de-
rive at least something for it. Sedg-
wick county. several years ago, voted
bonds in favor of the San Francisco
Road and received stock in said road
for the same amount. When the bonds
became due the railroad company gave
up the bonds they held against the
county for the stock held by the county
against the railroad dollar for dollar.
The length of road through this county
including side tracks would amount to
about forty miles Of track; the amount
| of tax on that many miles of road, at
the same rate as the Union Pacific is
! assessed, would be at least equal TO the
/ yearly tax to pay the interest on the
/ $4,000 bonds. But figures prove that
the amount of tax paid by the railroad
! company would amount to about three
thousand dollars more yearly than the
interest on the bonds. Tax payers,
throw aside all prejudices, and if the
election is called vote for the bonds, if
in your judgment it will benefit you
and yours.

John Sherman, at the meeting of
Congress, on the 9TH, was elected presi-
dent of the senate. And this action of
that honorable body ought to be les
son to President Cleveland in retaining
so many republicans in office, for a
great party has no occasion to triumph
by trick or snatch a nOmical victory by
the possession of a mysterious provi-
dence. 1t is neither generous nor just,
yet see how quick the &. o. p. took adj
vantage of the will of the people when
it was in their power to do SO. Would
it not have placed the Senate higher in
the estimation of the people if it had
shown that courtesy and justice by
elevating to the Office made vacant by
the death of Mr.. Hendricks a man of
the same political faith as counselor
and companion of the chief MAGISTRATE?
But then we see by this step that the G.
o. p. is not a great party.

The Manhattan Nationalist contained
last week a lengthy article OF nearly
four columns, calling for a National
Convention of Anti-saloon Republicans,
10 meet in Toledo, OHIO, May 18th,
1885, for tie purpose of placing the
Republican party upon a platform OF
uncomprOmiSing hostility to the saloon
everywhere. The Republican leaders
in the call says, that, 1.-The dram shop
must and shall be hammered at until
destroyed: and that the Republican
party must and shall do this work.
Now the question arises, is not this
another dodge to hold the weak need
prohibition republicans to the grand old
party? 1t looks that way. Bro. Griffin.
of the Nationalist, Rev. Wake, ana
many others whom we might name. see
the hand writing on the wall TO the Re
publican party for the bypOcriticdL SIN
which it is guilty of in trying to make
the people believe that Republicans, as
a party, are working in the interest Of
prohibition. The writing was placed
there by men Of true and genuine pro
hibition principles, and they are not
men to be farther gulled into following
after the party which in its every act is
proving that OFFICE and the govern
ment PAP is what it is after and
not the destroying of saloons which
every true prOhibitiOniStS is working to
do. No, Bro. Griffin, the G. o. p. is at
sea on rickety old raft and the pro-
hibitionists are fast making a strong
ship Of their own, as the late vote in
Georgia demonstrated. and will launch
itupOn the political waters for the next
election, and the REFLECTOR'S word
for it, the ship will sail more smoothly
than ever carrying on board thousands
Of men who could not stand the rotten
ness of the republican craft. And
again while the Republican party is
trying to save itself by having the
prohibitionists unite with them as the
tail of the kite, as it were, the Grand
Old Democratic party which stands
upon platform as the rock of Gibral-
tar will go on advocating the principles
Of local option and high license, be-
lieving it to be the only just and cor
rect way in handling the question.
There were hundreds of names to the
call and among the number we noticed
from Abilene, Rev. r. Wake, L. E.
SeWel and A. W. Rice.

Thomas Stevens, who is attempting
to make the tour OF the world on
bicycle, had some rough experiences in
Asia Minor. The people did not know
what to make of his strange steed. In
some places they would not let him
enter their Villages, and would have
no dealings with him. In other places
the inhabitants decided that he was
the devil, and threw stones at him.
AS rule, however, he was very well
received. He is now at Teheran, where
he will spend the winter, and will
start next spring On his long journey
across Khorasan, Afghanistan, and
China.
