The nomination of Melville W.
Fuller for chief justice of the United
States has, as we predicted it would be,
been confirmed by the Senate, and he
is now assured of that high office.
Whatever may have been the objec-
lions urged against him, and some of
them were valid ones, he is now the
highest judicial officer of the nation,
and criticism should not be visited
upon him unless his official acts justify
it. AS to Mr.. Cleveland's wisdom in
making the choice he did, opinion will
be divided and much condemnation
will be expressed that he did not choose
a better-ftted man.

Kansas, in this year of grace, 1888,
will "move in her loyalty" just as she
moved when Democratic Missouri
undertook to make slave State Of bel
fertile leagues. She will move along
the line as she did when later traitors
to the Union undertook to trail the ole

Mr.. Randall, who was not personally
present, but was paired with Demo-
crat, voted against it. On the one
amendment which was separately voted
on, cotton ties, Gear, of Iowa, voted
with the Democrats, but when it came
to the bill as whole he returned to
the fold.
The substantial unanimity of the
two parties was foreshadowed by the
debate and numerous votes on amend
ments, but at the opening of the ses-
sion it did not seem probable. 1t is
especially remarkable that the Repub-
licanS should be so harmonious. On
the Democratic side was the club of
patronage, welded unblushingly for
the bill. The administration cham
piOned it from the beginning and re-
sorted to all available means to bring
pressure to bear in its favor. No
Democratic Congressman could hope
TO get favors from any of the depart
ments who was not in line. Notwith-
standing all that Cleveland and his
Cabinet could do four of their own
party refused to vote for the measure
The Republicans, on the other hand,
had no club which they could use if
they would, yet the "kickers" in the
two parties stood to 2. Evidently
the free-trade sentiment in the Repub-
lican party has almost reached the
vanishing pOint.

OUR MEL GHBORS.

Special correspondence of the REFLECTOR:
MANCHESTER, KAs., July 19.-This
little city, just one year old last Fourth
of July, is the gem of the northwest
Dickinson. Located as it is at the
junction of the Minneapolis and Con
cordia branches of the G. K. & W., it
bids fair to continue its past rapid
growth through the future.
1t is fortunate in having body of
business men who are for Manchester
first, last and all the time. No petty
jealousies or diSagreements are allowed
to interfere with hard, united work for
the advancement of the town.
While here, we have had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. Clark, of the
bank of Manchester, and found him to
be very pleasant and affable gentle
man. We believe the people of Man.
chester and vicinity will find the new
bank worthy of their confidence and
patronage.
In wandering around the town,
among the many improvements going
on we notice that VIM. Rynearson, an
old Abilene boy has almost completed a
magnificent store building on one of
the best corners in town. He will &C.
cupy it about Aug. 18th, with a fine
stock of general merchandise. We
bespeak for William a liberal patronage.
The bank of Manchester has erected
a neat and commodious bank building
in which they opened up their bank
yesterday. 1t will be in charge of Mr..
Sawyer, an agreeable and accommodate
ing gentlemen.
The Lutherans have almost finished
fine church building, the mechanical
work of which has been done by H. w.
Bender with an able corps of assistants.
The Presbyterians have also erected
a handsome church edifce.
Squire Zea is to be found at any and
all times in his handsome store room
on Main street, where he carries a Sc
lect stock of general merchandise.
Manchester has one of the finest
drug stores in the county. 1t is owned
by another old Abilene boy. B. II

of the most reliable pharmacists in the

progress people have almost lost sight
of the investigation into the corruption
of the government printing Office at

Hard on the Union Labor Party.

The immense crop of small grains
already harvested, the vast amount of
excellent hay now going up, the splen-
did pasture, the sleek, fat stock, the
scarcity of chinch bugs, the almost
daily soaking rains and the excellent
prospect of mammoth corn crop are
terribly severe and disheartening for
the Union LaboriteS. Their chief, in
fact, their only source of comfort is
failure of crops and hard times. When
these are the order of the day the
Union Laborite is happy. Then he
can grumble, grumble, grumble all day
long. He can arrange the words
mortgage" monopoly" 1.-TWO per
cent, Jay Gould" and railroad" in
all their possible orders, and each new
order gives him added delight. A fore
closure is a richer morsel for him than
a wedding or picnic. 1t opens new
field for his grumbling tongue. He
grumbles at his neighbor who is indus
trious and frugal and saves something;
he grumbles at his wife; he grumbles
at his Maker, but he never grumbles at
himself he is too supremacy selfish for
that. The present excellent crops will
place thousands of Kansans squarely
on their feet and in consequence the
Union Laborite is sad beyond measure
and refuses to be comforted-poor fell
