All winter long there will be hun
dreds, yes, thousands of people coming
to Kansas. In the eastern states land
is high. The soil is old and worn and
bard to cultivate. Rents are high and
tie farmers who rent stand but little
Snow of even a good living. People
tuere realize this fully and they only
have to look back decade or two and
See how the wealthy farmers then ac-
CURED their homes and in many cases
wealth. They did it when the country
was new, when they could buy land for
less than they now rent it for each year.
The advantages offered in homes for
the homeless in Kansas are no puzzle
but stand out clear and bold to the
View of all. 1t will only be a few
years when land will be as high in
Kansas as it now is in Indiana and
Illinois. Rich quarter sections that
can now be bought for low price, will
III a few years, be quoted at six to ten
thousand. This is not guess work it
is history repeating itself.

The Tenure of Once Law.

The Senate has repealed law which
has long been a stumbling block to
Democrats. This action by the Repub-
lean branch of Congress is an aban-
comment of policy which was en-
tered upon under great party stress,
aad which was thought to be essential
b. party domination. 1t was TO be a
Ecidle put into the mouth of executive.
For an alleged disregard of its provis-
ions the House presented articles of
impeachment against Andrew johnson.
and Mr.. Evarts, who maintained the
unconStitutionality of the law at the
trial of the President, has had the sing
ular fortune to cast vote for its re-
peal.
The more Objectionable provisions of
tie act were done away with during
General Grants first term, and now.
.;e return of sense of duty, the Sem
lte gives to the Democrats of the
Iouse-an opportunity to do away with
he Objectionable law which we hope

The Tariff Bill Defeated.

Congress had it in its power last Sat
C:day, when the Morrison bill was
called up, asking, "Wil we consider
his to reduce taxation, - to make a
Christmas present to the people of sixty
millions Of unearned money, which
amount is being placed in the treasury
every year by the present high protec-
tive tariff system. But, alas there
were five too many for the tariff re-
formers, the vote standing 40 to 81, so
the appeal by the leading Democrats to
Shten the peoples burden, by reduc-
ing the taxes, were defeated. A shame
and disgrace to that most august assem-
lily.

The real estate boom is now on in
Dickinson county, and those who are
desirious Of making sale will do well
to place en- advertisement in the Re-
FLECTOR. This method of advertising
is growing in popularity. Our mer-
chants have learned this, and our
columns show that they consider the
REFLECTOR the best advertising me-
dunn in the city, and what in this line
is best Tor the merchant is best for the
farmer. Ii you have anything to sell
place it before the public by using the
columns of the REFLECTOR. Charges
reasonable.

What the Capital says of Topeka can
be truthfully said of Abilene. sowe say:
There never was a better opportunity
presented in Kansas for investment
than can be found in Abilene to-day.
There is no wild, unreasonable boom.
but certain, substantial increase in
business, residence and suburban prop
erty that offers large returns during the
next three years. Now is the time to
buy and every man who stands around
waiting for property in or about abb
lene to reach lower figures will simply
throw away his chance for the most
profitable investment. Within mile.
or even two miles, from the city limits,
there has been an advance of from $50
to 500 per acre during the present year.
and within the city the advance has
been even greater on first-class real
estate. There is every reason for be-
lieving that the advance in property
and the increase in business and popu-
lation will be greater in 1887 than in
any three years of our history.

the State for the one month of Novem
Der. This shows that this industry has
grown to considerable Importance,
One cause for this, however, is that the
manufacture of all kinds of bogus but

There are five manufacturing firms of
this bogus butter in this State and at
this time it is being sold by seventy

they have the same privileges as the
whites, except service in the militia.
