TEXAS STILL SIGHTED.

1t seems that the appointment to
consular positions is to be a sort of
sweetness long drawn out. The last
batch contains the name of Bedford
Mackey transferred from FL Paso to
San Jose, Costa RIGA. Texas has Jared
badly in this particular; number of
prominent republicans have applied
for consulshipI, and so far none have
been appointed. Rosenthal, of La
Grange; Zadeck, of Corslcana; Coch-
ran, of Dallas; Sulzbacher, of Eagle
Pass; Wilson, of Laredo; Cooley, of
Fredericksburg; DR.. Urwitz, of Hous-
ton; DR.. Hertzberg, of San Antonio;
but none of them chosen. Under
Mr.. Cleveland, we had a minister to
Japan and four good consulships.
Under Mr.. Harrison, we have a min
lister to Belgium but not a single con-
sulship. Mr.. Terrell did not certain
ly absorb all the foreign patronage
due the great State of Texas. DIR.
Thos. Hertzberg held consulship I'M
der Mr.. Garfield, in France, he asks
restoration to the service, and we
hope Mr.. Blaine will not overlook his
application. He is an able, worthy
representative of Texas, and proved
during his former service, a valuable
agent of the government abroad.

Mr.. BLAINE's congress will be in
fair working order by the time Mr..
Harrison's congress gets down to bus
mess. The session of a congress rep
resenting the republics of the world
in Washington at the same time with
that of the United States congress,
demands the craftsmanship of. Mr.
Blaine to bring out results in keeping
with the Importance of the occasion.

THE democratic opposition to a ma
ticnal election law makes such legis-
lation possible, but such law must
be made to apply in every state in the
Union. The South needs this legisla-
ton and the democratic party takes
alarm in advance for fear that such
legislation may interfere with their
systematic and brutal suppression of
the ballot. We have plenty of good
law in the South, ample enough to Sc
cure all the rights of the people, but
we lack the ability and disposition to
enforce this law.

Married PEOPLES Party.

The social dance in Armory hall held
last evening by the married people was
MUCH enjoyed by those present. The
festivities were not prolonged to late
hour and consequently the participants
were without WEAKNESS this morning.
A permanent organization for a series
of similar meetings during the winter
was formed. w. j. Winfield is presi-
dent, Ben Peck, secretary, and j. G.
HoIzworth, treasurer. A meeting of
the gentlemen will be held in the near
future to perfect the organization by
appointing an executive committee and
making other necessary preparations.

A New Firm.

Two of Abilene's well-known citi-
gems, Messrs. II. G. Shelton and F. M.
WhitIaw, have formed copartnership
and will, about the first of the year,
open a magnificent grocery and dry
goods store, the room next to Mr.. Shell
toms dry goods establishment being
used in addition to the present quar-
tiers. An arch will connect the rooms
and as the south room will be devoted
exclusively to groceries, everything be-
ing new and fresh, it can well be mag
med that the firm will have an estab-
lishment to be proud Of. We wish
Shelton & Whitlaw much success.

A FLOURISHING FIRM.

NY's ENLARGED FACILITIES
One of the Most Prosperous Instltu-
lions IN Central Kansas Its New
Quarters Immense Business
Being Done-0ficers, etc.

Passers by the corner of South Sec
ond street and Mulberry cannot have
helped noticing the large building being
erected in the rear and in connection
with the Como blacksmith shop. The
sign of the Abilene Bridge Co. informs
the public who is responsible for the
improvement and calls attention to one
of the most prosperous firms in the
state and one with most enviable flu
ture.
The REFLECTOR representative was
shown through the building this NOM
ing by Mr.. B. NJ. Wallace, president and
superintendent, from whom we learned
some of the details in the institutions
history and its present and future pros
poets. Altogether it has a record sur
passed by few firms and it seems likely
TO prove one of the most successful
financially In the city.
THE ABILENE BRIDGE COMPANY.
The company was organized last
spring. but it has only been recently
that it has branched out upon the
wide basis which it is capable of
covering. The president, B. NJ. Wal
lace. was formerly superintendent of
the construction department of the
Santa Fe railway, but he concluded
that there was more money in indie
pendent work. Locating here he asso-
ciated with him Mr.. John Como, well
known asian accomplished machinist,
who is treasurer of the company. A
capital of $40, 900 backs the concern
and everything is done upon cash
basis.
The new addition to the brick shop,
just completed, is 81 feet wide by 14o
deep, one and one-nalf stories in height.
In it will be placed this week new ma
chinery, lathes, drills, engines, etc., to
the value of Ss,47S, making it one of
the most complete establishments of
the kind in the state.
WHAT IT is DOING.
The company has within the past few
weeks extended its business to such a
size that it now is compelled to refuse
contracts. Its work is the making of
wrought iron highway bridges, girders,
roofs, towers and all kinds of iren work.
1t has at present over $4,000 worth of
work ahead. Eight bridges ranging in
price from 81 500 up are in course of
erection. Five of these are in Cloud
county, others in Smith, and some Of
the work is being done for other con-
tractors. The company's work has
stood the test Of use and every county
which has employed them IS more THAI
satisfied with their bridges. County

A Bad Runaway.

SOLOMON, Kas., Dec. IA Especial :
A serious runaway occurred south of
this city near WescOtt's ranch last
evening. A young man started with a
team of large horses and wagon belong
ing to Mr.. W. to bring Mrs NJ. Sias and
Mrs. Hughes from the ranch to this
city. The horses became frightened
and ran away. Mrs. Hughes jumped
out and was bruised, but not seriously.
The other passengers were given a ter
rifle ride of three miles over the prairie,
the team being beyond control. When
near VIM. Ramsey's one of the horses
was crippled by the pastern joints of its
fore legs slipping out of place. The
animal ran for $50 yards further with
only the legbones for feet and then fell,
stopping the outfit. The horse was
shot to relieve it of it's suferings. Mrs.
Sias and the driver were not injured.

THIRTY MEN EMPLOYED.
The firm employs thirty skilled ma
chinists, draughtsmen, etc, and pays
the highest wages. is probable that
a still larger force will be carried after
short time. There is growing ten
dency in this state to patronize Kansas
houses where it can be done without
loss of quality or excessive charges, and
the Abilene Bridge Co. seems likely to
come in for generous patronage in
the future, the more especially as they
are furnishing first-class work in every
particular.
The company is an addition to Abb
lene's list of manufacturing firms that
is of decided benefit to the city. 1t
brings here a class of employees who
are among the best workmen in the
state. Its officers are gentlemen who
do no "side-walk" work, but are eXpe-
rienced machinists, conservative man.
ayers, and will carry on the firms
affairs safely and prOsperously.
1t is this class of manufactures that
builds up town and adds strength to
its reputation. The REFLECTOR is
glad to welcome such to Abilene and
wishes them the most abundant success.

A cIergyman's Scheme OF Mission
AIRY Work in Congress.

WASHINGTON. April 17.-During the re-
cent manouvres of the British naval fleet, in
which about six vessels of the Archer type
participated, these vessels pitched and rolled
about to such an extent. in moderately
heavy sea, as to render them very poor gun
platforms. which means that the guns were
so unstable they could not be directed with
any approach to accuracy of fire. They are
also,very wet ships. The defects are sup
posed to result from the excessive weight of
the ordnance. 1t is recommended that the
6-inch rifles be replaced by 5-inch guns and
the anchors moved further apart. The sig
nifcance of this report to naval officers here
lies in the fact that the new gunboat York.
town. patterned after the Archer, will carry
the same calibre and weight ordnance.
Failure has also attended the efforts of the
British constructors to build 20-knot ship,
of which the Navy Department here is at
tempting to build two under the direction of
an act of Congress.
