Carrots Christmas Schema.
BY BURT ARNOLD.

Jt was the night before Christmas
at ie.:er-FinI, Gulcb, and the boys
had gone back on their luck, for it
hal ls4ned pitchforks from sunri,e to
sunrise.
One by one they had gathered in
the bar-parlor of the Valley Nugget.
and there sat drying the wet remnants
of shirts that hung in dripping tatters
from their broad shoulders.
They smoked with unusually moody
and discontinued expressions on their
rugged and well-bronzed faces, and
with knit brows in silence watched
the bowling storm outside and listen
ed to the continual torrents of rain
that seemingly threatened to make a
lake of the valley below for some
weeks to come.
Dirt had PANIED out poorly during
the past ten days, and now this bad
spell of weather threatened to make
things worse.
Each one felt discouraged, but re-
Trained from complaining lest the rest
of the boys might think he had lost
his sand.
Suddenly red-haired miner, who
enjoyed the appropriate nickname ,oi
Carrots, exclaimed:
"Come, boys, its Their night afore

principles with this basis for the for

General John A. Logan is dead. The
news caused the nation momentarily to
listen with bated breath, as though
some one had been stricken from each
fireside. Every one admired Logan.
There was such Spir I of bravery and
enthusiasm Of voice and gesture, on
every battlefield in which he partici-
pated, that won the hearts of the ''bOys
in blue to battle 50 herOically for the
maintenance of our glorious union.
And when that fearful strife was ended,
and the union was perpetuated. their
love and admiration for L" Black Jack, "
as the boys called him, was perpetuated
in their loyal hearts, until time gath
cred many of them to The Great
Captain OF our Salvation above" where
the manly Logan has passed. The roll
call was sounded, and John \. Logan
answered, not at the veterans call here
below, but with the steady increasing
number Of comrades gone before. AS
senator of his native state, he distin-
guished himself as a statesman COM
petent to battle with any of our intel
lectual giants. Always strong i'll his
political convictions, but honest and
courteous towards his opponents. No
treachery, dishonesty or disreputable
tricks, either on the field of battle, in
the senate halls, or in private life, was
ever charged against General Logan.
His death was a nations loss, his men,
ory will be cherished by future genera
tons, and his name will always live as
one of Americas noblest, truest men.

The following from the Eldorado

The following from the Eldorado
Democrat expresses our sentiments
.sOur best friends are democrats. Our
best friends are republicans. We have
no quarrel with our fellow citizens who
may differ with US politically. We
NAV as well abuse them because they
are Methodists, Presbyterians or Bap-
fists. and not Congregationalists, Lu-
tl.t::....s Or Catholics. We are re ~ to
argue, reason and persuade in behalf OF
our political faith. No gentlemanly
newspaper will write or publish in its
columns words about a man that it
would not say to his face. Suppose
President Cleveland were to visit Kan
sas; many of the papers that have been
loudest in abusing, slurring and reviling
him, personally as well as politically,
would as soon as they came in contact
with him, treat him face to face as a
gentleman worthy of the highest con-
sideration and courtesy. Many papers
would compliment him personally,
though differing with him politically.
1t is false position held by too many
of the newspapers that give license to
slurs and abuse to those high in author
ity because they differ with them pOlit-
ically. 1t is privilege to differ and a
pleasure to argue and reason against
doctrine We may believe not for the best
interests of the people, but it is
groveling and even base to abuse man
in writing who may differ with us pOlit-
icaIly or religiously. When we find a
man in error it is our duty to point out
the error and persuade him to our way
of thinking, or at least to modify his
opinions. To make ourselves indecent
by vile epithets hurled at our antagonist
is not gentlemanly and not the honora-
BILE way to conduct political or re-
ligious newspaper. We always intend
to praise or censure, advocate or defend
in spirit and fairness we consider due
from one gentleman to another.

Dedication.

The Presbyterian church of Carlton
Kan, was dedicated on Sunday, Dec
10, 1856. The sermon was preached by
Rev. w. a. Simkins, of Salina, Kan
The building committee then made
their report, accounting for all the
money that has come into their hands.
The footing up showed deficit of S514,
the entire cost being $4,000. The house
was well filled with attentive listeners,
and Rev. J. r. Cooper, of Solomon,
Kan, stepped to the pulpit and asked
the audience if they would then and
there raise the amount of the debt.
After short talk with chosen words
and pointed sentences, spoken as this
good brother knows how to speak them,
the people readily responded and raised
more than was called for.
The church was formally given to the
great Head of the church by the pastor,
Rev. Z. NJ. Halbert, and the prayer
dedicating the church to the service of
the Almighty God, was offered by Rev.
W. a. Simkins, of Salina.
Pastor and people greatly rejoice in
the success that has attended their en-
terprise, and the prospect of future use
fulness in the Masters service, who
has thus far blessed their labors. ~

Now that the matter of the coming
state encampment has been brought up,
let some action towards securing it for
Abilene be made without delay. That
it will be big advertisement for our
beautiful and booming little city, goes
without saying. The committee ap-
pointed by the board of trade last week,
should, and probably will, do all in
their power to make the location here
an assured thing. They should receive
the hearty cooperation of all of our cit
liens. Let it not be said that Abilene
is lacking in hospitality or enterprise :;
rather that we lead and others follow.
GO ahead, everybody, and by an united
effort we can be assured of the grand
est meeting in the state on February
next,
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1886-12-30

As the end of the year draws nigh let
us think of what has occurred during
its life time,-what good we have done
and what We have left undone, and
make up our minds to have a larger
credit balance next year. Let us work
for the town and our neighbors with
our whole body and soul and pocket
book, and work for ourselves at the
same time. Boom the town. Boom it
in the morning, Boom it at noon.
Boom it in the evening, and if you are
troubled, boom it. in your dreams.
Don't wait for somebody else to start
the wheel, but do it yourself, and our
growth will be one of the marvels of
the decade.

The democratic party cannot be held
responsible for the failure to reduce the
tariff. The president recommended it
in his message, and when the Morrison
bill was called up recently the great
majority of democratic Congressman
voted for it. The republicans almost
solidly voted against it, even John A.
Anderson, the man who claimed TO be
a champion of the farmers interests,
voting with the high protectionists.

will be the guest of distinguished men
in Great Britain and OF the continent.
He will spend the major portion of his
time in France, Germany and Ireland.

land will create a great furOre. The
effect of this upon the Irish in Amer

prior to the meeting of the Republican
convention.
