HE FAvoIS THE FORCE BILL.

The principal thing in President Harri-
sons message is u Jealous recommends

and pressed through Congress.
There is little need OF any further argu-

ply revolution. Its one purpose is to
continue the dominant party in power;
aud to this end its promoters are willing
to DESTROY local i-goycrnncnt, TO over
throw The rights of citizens and nj conf

elections into concentrated party dcs-

that arc sure TO arise from such political
revolution are 81 great and so grave as to
oycrshadow every other question.

who were expecting from the president Il

rcvcrses Of his party or IL frantic appeal

He calls no halt on any oi the great prin-

shown that during Tie twenty wears from

per month of $3,c32,33G. and an increase

Secretary Blaine did very useful
and clever stroke of work when he is
sued instructions to consuls and COM
mercial agents to collect the statistics
of mortgages in Europe. The returns
so far received show that the real estate
Of nearly the whole of western Europe
is mOrtgaged for at least one-half of its
gross value. The improved real estate
of the United States, on the other hand,
is not mortgaged for more than 10 or

All for Abilene.

As we remarked yesterday the new
city government has a large contract
on its hands and plenty of work before
it, work which it must handle brayely
and well in order to justify the trust
placed in it by the people.
But the council and mayor can do
nothing without the citizens Of the town
standing shoulder to shoulder behind
them. fractional prejudices have done
much in the past to hinder the city's
growth. Unbridled ambition for wealth
has caused an undertaking of the mu-
nicipality's welfare as compared with
that of the individual. The time has
come for a change, for a uniting of our
hands in the upbuilding Of the city
without regard to personal feelings.
The croakers should stop their crOak-
ing and commence whistling, the too
ambitious ones call halt in their race
and all work for Abilene'S interest.
We have here a city uneXcelied in the
west fol location, for rich surroundings,
for intelligence and high average cul-
tuIe. We are favored. But we have
been in the past somewhat reckless in
the management of our estate. We
have on our hands grave problems of
finance and policy to settle. They can
not be satisfactorily arranged if there
is not harmonious pulling all together
in the cause of Abilene.
1t will be no boys play to put the
municipality back on a satisfactory
basis and adjust the questions that are
before us and bound to come up for
settlement. We have a council Of con-
sentative, business.like men, able, We
think, to cope with them, but they
must have the support Of their constit-
uents. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to help them by word and deed, to take
hold as if working f0r their homes.
The city'S welfare is our own. Its
fluctuations Of fortune are our own.
Let us then work hand in hand for
Abilene, vigorously pushing her to the
front and assisting in every way to lift
her to greater prosperity.

Some time ago the REFLECTOR, dis

to make connections between Abilene

to secure star route between the two

Though petitions and the assistance

The State Dairy association which
has hOnOred Abilene with the first SEES
sion of its existence under its new
form brings to our city many represen-
tative men in the dairy field. Kansas
has taken long steps forward in the di-
rectiOn of manufacture of dairy pro-
ducts during the past two years. Her
farmers have begun to see how a diver
siied agriculture, with its accompany
ing benefits of regular revenue, can aid
them to a less speculative existence.
In no county of the state has a greater
success been made of dairyiDg than in
Dickinson. Our numerous creameries
when properly managed have proved
profitable and their products become
widely known. For this reason, as
well as out of regard for our visitors,
the members of the Dairy association
from abroad will be welcomed. The
practical hints given regarding modern
methods and processes will be valued
by our farmers and farmers wives.

81 do not think we will be able to get
away from Washington until the latter
part of July, or possibly the first week
in August" says Senator Allison.
The work of the senate is very well in
hand and so far as this body is con-
cerned we might adjourn great deal
earlier than that, but the house is 4
very large and unwieldy body, and a
great deal of time may be expected to
be consumed IN the discussion of the
tariff bill. So, l do not expect that
there will be great deal of debating
done in the senate upon that or any
other measure this spring. Every year.
it seems to me, the senate is growing
more and more conservative in the
matter of speech maklng.'
