THE FORUM FOR MARCH.-In the
Forum for March, which begins the
seventh volume, several objects are
discussed of large political and COM
mercial importance. Prof. j. G..
Schurman, ofCornell University, who
is Canadian by birth, describes the
resources of the Canadian half of the
continent, and concludes that there is
as great destiny for Canada as for
the United States; and he predicts
that the Canadians will never favor
annexation, because they do not need
to burden themselves with the prob
lens of the United States, of the
South in particular. Mr.. Isaac t..
Rice points out as the primary cause
of railway decentralization the habit
of borrowing and buying proxies,
which leads to loss of a sense of
trust in stockholders and enables
manipulators to wreck properties and
to pursue any policy that helps for
ward their private schemes. DR..
Leonard Woolsey Bacon makes an ar
gument for the extension of the deliv-
cry of letters by carriers to persons
in the country as well as in cities; and
this he calls the next postal reform.
A contribution to the discussion of the
Negro question is made by Negro
writer, Prof. w. S. Scarborough, of
Wilberforce University, who takes a
hopeful view of the future of his race.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson makes test of
several reformatory theories, such as
cooperation, profit-sharing, prohibit
ton. protection, free trade, and prohi-
bition, by applying them to small
community, where the practical work
ings of each theory may be measured.
Prof. st. George Mivart, one of the
earliest critics of Darwin, for whom
Darwin had great respect, indicates
the scientific fallacy in the Darwinian
doctrine, and points out how some of
most distinguished evolutionists have
receded from their original position.
Andrew Lang writes of "Review-
ers and their ways" in friendly en-
deavor to indicate the value of cou-
temporary criticism; and Prof. Char
les E. Norton, of Harvard, gives a
definition of the fine arts and points
out the progress and the hinderances
of art in the United States.-The

n the March Century the most


In the March Century the most
timely essay is that on the
4" Rules of the House of Representa-
tives," by the Republican leader,
Hon. Thomas B. Reed, ofMaine. Mr..
Reed explains how the rules of the
House have been framed with the
view of rendering legislation difficult,
and he makes important suggestions
of changes which it is natural to sup.
pose he and his political associates
who will control the next House of
Representatives, may endeavor to
bring about.
Another timely essay is DR.. Ed
ward Eggleston's review of James
Bryce's already famous work on "The
American Commonwealth" under
the title of ga Full-Length Portrait
of the United States" The present
instalIment of the Life of Lincoln is
entitled "The Edict of Freedom" and
completes the story of Emancipation.
Referring TO the chapters on this sub
ject, the editor asks, in Topics of the
Time" "Has the mental history OF a
single sublime and world-approyed
act ever before been so infinitely and
authoritatively described?" The from
tispiece of the number is portrait of
the Grand Lama of the Trans Baikal,
from a photograph given to George
KEENAN, in exchange for his own. The
only other visit to this special Grand
Lama by a foreigner, so far as is
known, was that of DR.. Erman, near
ly sixty years before the date of Mr..
Remnants visit, Mr.. Remnants article
describes an interesting and amusing
episode of his Siberian tour. In the
same number of the Century Mrs. van
Rensselaer, and Mr.. Pennell present

Patsev Curtis Safe.

1t was feared that Patsey Curtis, the
famous yearling, might have persisted
in the fire in Webster & Co.'s stud
barn at Valley Falls Sunday, but it is
found that he is safe.
The animals lost are Evermond, for
which ali offer of SIC, 900 in cash was
received only a few weeks ago; Prairie
Wilkes, Joe Larkin and Wedgemont-,
all well known on the race tracks of
the west and among the most prUmis-
ing stud horses of Kansas. All have
been on Abilene's track during the
season. The cause of the fire was that
early in the morning farm hand went
into the barn with lantern. In some
way this was thrown over on a pile of
hay and in an instant the whole in
terror was ablaze. The man had bare
ly time to escape, but in desperation,
he tried to save one of the valuable
horses. Several other persons about
the place rushed to the rescue, but all
efforts were in vain. The four animals
persisted miSerably. The entire loss is
over So, 900.

NoVember's Weather.

Prof. f. II. Snow, Of the State Uni
versity, who can discover more eccentri-
cities IN months weather than any
other living man, says that last month
was the coolest November since 1880.
The barometer was high, the rainfall
was nominal, the cloudiness and wind
velocity were below the average. The
first snow of the season-only a few
fakes-occured on the 25th, fifteen
days later than the average date.
The mean temperature was 1926
degrees, which is 1.61 deg. below the
November average. The highest tenn
perature was Go deg, on the 23d; the
lowest was II deg, on the 2Sth, giving
range of 81 deg. Mean temperature
at Z a. m, S1.62 deg; at 2 p. m, 46. 80
deg; at 8 p. m, 1925 deg.
The rainfall was 1.96 inches, which
is O.O4 inch below the November aver
age. Rain fell in measurable ouan-
titles ON 8 days. There were no thun-
der showers. The entire rainfall
for the IL months of 1889 now com.
pleted has been 1921 inches, which is
10. 43 inches above the average for the
same months in the preceding 81 years.

What a Farmer BUYS.

A Dickinson county farmer came to
this city last Saturday for few little
necessaries that his good wife told him
to be sure and not forget. We don't
know whether he forgot anything or
not for we found the following memo
randum that he cropped on the floor of
one of our stores. 1t goes to show that
when our farmers have money they
patronize nearly every branch of bust
ness in the city. Here is the list of the
articles the farmer was supposed to
take home: Scoop shovel, fork, curry
comb, brush, axle grease, condition
powders, raw oil, cayenne, get shoes
mended, pencils, stationery tablet,
coffee, soap, cotton flannel, pepper,
stockings and nails.-[J. c. Republican.

The Goldsmith Case Ended.

Hon. j. R. Burton received a tele-
gram this afternoon from J. II. Mahan,
from Topeka, announcing that tie jury
in the celebrated case of Jones & We'll
VS.. Hoisington ct al. returned a verdict
for the defendants. The case grew out
of the Goldsmith failure that occurred
in this city nine years ago this month.
1t was tried in the U. S. court three
times, when the defendants at last OBJ
tanned the verdict. The case was ap-
peale0 by the plaintiffs to the supreme
court of the United States and reversed
and sent back for retrial. This makes
the fourth trial before jury, and it
would seem that it is the end of the
case. MeSsrs. Mahan and Burton have
managed these cases for the defendant
all the way through and are to be con-
graduated upon their final victory.
The amount involved is about 5000.

PERMANENT ASSIGNEE.
Utmost Confidence In Messrs. Lebold
& Fisher Exhibited.

& Fisher Exhibited.
The selection of the permanent
assignee of the Lebold & Fisher Abb
lene bank Wednesday, was proba-
ly unique in the history of
the settlement of matters of such i'm
mense financial Importance. Perhaps
never before did the creditors of firm
whose liabilities run to over $500, 900
show such implicit confidence in the
firm which was indebted to them.
The entire amount of the sum
named was in person or by proxy cast
for Col. j. NJ. Fisher, one of the men,
bers of the firm, for the position of
assignee, the creditors having such per-
feet trust in Messrs. Lebold & Fisher
and in either of them separately that
they were perfectly willing to allow
the firm itself to settle up its affairs
and to abide by the result, knowing
that nothing but the right and the best
action would be taken.
Not wishing to take the position, be-
cause of there being some doubts
ss to the legality, Mr.. Fisher
asked that they be cast for Hon.
John Johntz, who accordingly was de-
clared by the district clerk the assignee.
The choice is an excellent one. Mr..
Johntz stands among the most trust
worthy citizens OF the state. Careful,
approachable, of excellent judgment,
with a wide knowledge of men and
affairs, he has no superior as gentle
man and a business man. We COM
mend the creditors good sense in
selecting him for we believe that he
will conduct the affairs of the firm
with eminent fairness and satisfaction.
The REFLECTOR is more than pleased
to see such confidence felt in Messrs.
Lebold 81 Fisher. 1t shows that right
dealing has its reward and by this &C
tion the gentlemen will much sooner
be able to completely re-arrange the
banks affairs and have the whole mat
ter settled up. Interviews with many
of the heaviest creditors convinces us
that the gentlemen stand higher than
ever in the peoples minds, and we pre-
dict speedy and satisfactory full set
