Commissioners Bricker, Blevins and
Kandt, Co. Clerk Waring, Co. Atttor-
ney Hurd and the REFLECTOR man
rode out to the poor farm last Tuesday
afternoon. The foundation of the
building is almost completed, and it will
not be very long before the latter is
finished. The site is a very command
ing one, overlooking the prettiest and
most fertile country in the world and
bringing into good view the towns of
Enterprise, Detroit and Abilene. The
farm, with the exception of some
twenty-five acres, is composed of rich
land, capable of raising as large crops
as any land in the county. The COM
missioners will plant an orchard ON the
poor land and improve the surroundings
of the building. After this year, when
all live stock necessary will be owned
by the county, our tax payers will save
at least $250O. year in the cost of their
poor.

The Hon. ALBERT GRIFFIN, Of Man
haitian, is already reading the riot act
to those republican editors and leaders
who are 'kicking'' at the new prohibit
tory law, The editors of the Topeka
Commonwealth, Junction City Union,
Hiawatha World, LeavenWOrth Times
and other leading papers are INVITED to

your organization, gentlemen, but Or
ganize at once,'' says granny GRIFFIN.
Well, the advice is good. The editors
of the above named papers have moth
ing in common with Kansas republi-
canism. They are not treated decently
by the party they hold to in name only.
They should join the democratic party,
and then their power would be recogniz-
ed and felt, however much it may be
despised now.

Democratic economy is being enforc-

that their services can be dispensed

The railroad question was not an issue during
the last campaign, In this State-Manhattan
Nationalist.
Do you say the railroad question was
not an issue, Bro. GRIFFIN, because an
overwhelmingly republican or prohibi-
ton legislature failed to make it an is
sue2 Or do you try to relieve the legis-
lature from all blame because it passed
stringent, arbitrary prohibitory law?
Up this way our people find no difficult
ty in recollecting that republican speak
ers were unanimous in the assertion,
that 1.-THE railroad question, and not
prohibition, was the real issue before
the voters of Kansas. You are right
in your statement that there is there
after in politics." The failure to give
the people of the State any legislation
whatever on the railroad question, and
the eminent success in giving them
prohibitory law which is warranted
not to rip, wear or run down at the
heel, will cause a political revolution at
the next general election. And the rev.
olution wont be favorable to you.

The President has issued a proclama-

The President has issued a proclama-
ton forbidding the boomers to go into
the Oklahoma country. 1t is also said
to be the Presidents intention to have
the cattle men removed from the lands.
The REFLECTOR does not believe that
the administration will allow the mat
ter to rest here. Some way will be
found to expunge that clause from the
treaty which declares that the United
States shall allow none but peaceable
Indians and freedmen to settle upon
the lands in question. That clause is
all that stands in the way Of settlement
by whites of the remaining portion of
the Oklahoma lands. And if the cattle
men are driven from the territory the
hardy settlers would not Try to force
their way into it. Fair play is what is
'aeeded, and the administration will
find no great favor in the West until it
either clears Oklahoma of cattle kings
or throws it open to homestead entry.

Postmasters Feel Easier.

DR.. Sangrado Bolus, of Washington,
has written out and sent to Postmaster
General Villas a scientific opinion to the
effect that the removal Of any consider
able number of..Republican PostmaSters
at this time will produce serious results
There are nearly $4,000 Republican
Postmasters in the country at this
writing. Many of them have been Ill
Office for years. They have acquired a
taste for the gum on the back OF the
postage stamps similar to that which
the mOrphine-eater has for his narcotic
drug. The licking of stamps and the
tasting of this gum daily has become a
confirmed habit with 80 per cent OF
those officials. 10 stop them suddenly,
the Doctor thinks, would be TO invite
nervous prostration and in many IN
stances. fits. 1t would be like cut
ting the drunkard off from alcohol sud
denly or depriving the opium-eater Of
his drug. With this opinion before him
Postmaster-General Villas, who is a
humane man, will probably proceed
with great elaboration.

My father smiled, and looked pleased

quietly walked away out of the room

YOU what is right, but it depends on your
own will to do it. happen what may.
And with this little parting word Of adj

at school. In about five minutes Miss

three keenly and kindly.

great deal of interest is centered at

relative thereto. The ordinances adopted
by the city council at its last meeting
governing the use of the institution, and
regulating the sale of meats in Rock Is,

to enforcement as such. As to the city's
position on the question it is just now a
difficult matter to ascertain. Mayor Muir

committee, said this morning that the law
would be stringently enforced, and action
brought against the butchers falling to

the evidence and bring the action l..
