Dickinson county as an abiding place.
1t is verify land of plenty, and the
prospects for continued and increased
prosperity were never brighter than
they are now. The march of progress
is steadily advancing, the tide of inn
migration will continue to flow our way,
until, within the space of a few short
years, Dickinson county will, with its
many superior advantages: in both city
and county, be so densely populated
that the value of its land will be great
ly enhanced, the merchants, mechanics
and laborers will be thriving and pros
porous, and such thing as want or
privation will be an unknown quantity.
We have indeed reason to celebrate
Thanksgiving with cheerful hearts and
smiling faces. All hail to Him who
has directed our footsteps within the
borders of the best county in the best
state in the Union.

The Gazette takes the mail agents on
the Kansas division of the Union Pa
cific to task for the "Jacksonian SIM
plicity'' displayed by them in distrib-
uting the Gazette'S mail. With the ex-
oellent repOrtorial facilities now pos
sessed by our daily neighbor, it seems
almost impossible that they should not
have more fully informed themselves
on the subject in hand. AS a matter
of fact the mail agents are, each and
every one of them. dyed-in-the-wool re-
publicans, and the fact that the Gazette
has credited them with being party en-
plOyes during the present excellent
and efficient reign of "Jacksonian sim
plicity," is joke with boomerang at
tachment which is laughable in the ex-
IRENE.

The election of democratic governor
in the state of Colorado, was a victory
OF great importance in the interest of
clean politics. The republican leaders
and strikers in the Centennial state
pour forth money without stint. and so
bold and openhanded have they become
in late years, that honest men, regard
less of party, saw the necessity of ham
stringing them, and have left them in
such crippled condition that honest
men breath easier, and Colorado is
happy.

and Democrats in the county. The to-
tai republican vote polled was 1888,
and the democratic, zoos. These p
333 republicans divide their patronage
among seven republican papers through
out the county, viz:-the Abilene Ga
zette, the Chronicle and the Republicans:
the Hope Herald; the Herington Tri-
b,me; the Solomon Sentinel, and the Carl
ton Advocate. OF zoos democrats, a
majority of them patronize their party
paper, the REFLECTOR. Democrats
are noted for their party fealty, and
there are very few who will not help
support the local organ of the party by
their subscriptions. We do not believe
in lifting up ourselves by pulling others
down. There are many Democrats
who take republican papers as well as
ours, and there are also many republi-
cans whose names may be found on our
subscription list. The above is fair
and common sense illustration, and
demonstrates the superior value of the
REFLECTOR as an advertising medium.
1t is no idle boasting when we say that
we have a larger list of bona fde sub
scribers in the county than any other
paper in the county. If any advertiser
such an assertion, all we
have to say is that our subscription
books are open at any time for inspec-
ton, to prove the truth of snch asser-
ton

When the present issue of the RE-
FLECToR reaches its many patrons, in
both city and county, it will find most
of them sitting around the family board,
offering up thanks to the Giver of all,
who has seen fit, through His great
mercy, to reward them amply for their
work during the past year. Dickinson
county can well feel proud of its inhab-
itantS, the great majority of whom are
successful, and who owe their success
to their own enterprise, their own
shrewdness and their own hard work.
Well do they deserve the good things
spread before them, for they have the
satisfaction of knowing that it is
through their own efforts that they are
enabled to enjoy them. We are huge
family of 'rustlers,' many of whom
have had the pluck and energy to leave
the crowded east, and start out anew
in the ''far west" to shift for them
selves. No pampered sons have we in
our midst. The boys who are growing
up will form generation of workers
like their fathers before them, for they
have instilled in their natures the hab-
its of shrift possessed by their parents.
and if in the future they suffer from
business reyerses, as do all some time
In their lives, they will not SIT down
and idly lament over their fallen for
tunes, but like the sturdy SONS of toil''
that they are, go to work to build them |
up again. Old and young, the bus
ness men and farmers alike, have

Things could not be much closer po-
litically than they are in New Jersey,
where a United States senator is TO be
elected by the democrats, who control
the legislature by one majority with
the assemblyman who casts the odd
vote, was elected by the people by one
majority. A change of one vote at the
polls in that assembly district would
have given the senatorship to the re-
Dublicans.

The woman suffrage bill recently de-

that no woman could vote unless she

who owns clay pipe and a pair of last
