BERLIN, Nov. 24.-Though confidence
In the ultimate value Of Prof. koch's
discovery does not abate, public disap.
dointment over the immediate results OF
the treatment grows daily. Prof. Koch's
assistants, Drs. Levy and Cornell, and
others, estimate the total number Of
cases treated at about l,700. The great
er number of these were suffering from
exterior tuberculosis, and are progress
ing. There were comparatively few
cases of tuberculosis in the lungs. The
experts are beginning to concur in the
opinion that a cure of this disease by this
treatment is uncertain. Prof. Koch dis
CLAIMS responsibility for the statements
put in his mouth regarding his expert
ments. He blames the press for raising
exaggerated hopes Of instant benefit in
every form OF tuberculosis.
Prof. Koch will prosecute series of
experiments with view Of discovering
remedies for scarlet fever, measles, typhus
and other epidemics.

PUBIC. An extension OF seVentS-ilNe
miles down the Rio Grande valley to Al
buquerque would render the line of some
practical importance and be of immense
value to the trade Of Denver and Albu-
querque. Sooner or later the Rio Grande
rails will be carried not only to Albu
querque but to FL Paso, and the original
project OF Gen. Palmer realized at last. !"
This is all very we'll, but the Republican
must know that no project of the D. 4
r. G.. that contemplates the Ignoring OF
Santa Fe, the Cash Entry camp, Cerrillos
and San Pedro can hope for traffic
enough to earn the cost Of
the roads alike grease. 1t is
simple folly to suggest it, Denver capital
has too great foothold here in Santa Fe
now to permit such q thing. The Re
publican may take fair warning now that
the D. & r. G. is going south via this
city and the coal and mineral fields Of
Santa Fe county-nnd not via the barren,
rocky canon that lies between Espanola
and old Albuquerque.
Mr.. Mag oun, Of the Santa Fe, says his
road contemplates no immediate exten
sons, but this is what Canyon, Randall
county, Texas, resident writes the
Fort Worth Gazette of the 20tn instant
"a corps OF engineers of the Santa Fe
Railroad company have been for the past
two weeks surveying route from Pan-
handle city, the present terminus OF the
Southern Kansas (branch of the Santa Fe
SYSTEM, to Albuquerque, N. NJ. Said
corps of engineers are now, and have
been at this place for several days, de-
termining the most practicable crossing
of the two Canons, Palladuro and Terre-
blanco, and the best outlet to the high
plains, enroute to New Mexico; and, as
they have devoted 80 much time and ex-
pense to get this crossing, making their
line run through the eastern part Of this
city, We feel very sangune that they
mean business"
Gen. Nelly, of the Santa Fe Southern
narrow gauge, has received an offer to
accept the general management OF the
Birmingham & Mobile line, part OF the
present extensive system operated by the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia com
pany, at the head of which is the famous
Brice-Thomas syndicate, He has not yet

Bank Failure,

GUTHRIE, o. T., Nov. 24.-The Com
mercial bank of this city made an assign
ment to the sheriff on Saturday. 1t was
the largest bank in the territory and Its
failure has taken from many their all.
The proprietors have all left town and the
sheriff is in charge of the buildings. A
large crowd is waiting around and orders
of attachment are being tackled up on the
door OF the bank in large numbers. The
failure was caused by the failure Of the
New National bank, which was largely
interested in this bank. A run was start
ed on the other banks here, but as the
banks have shown ample funds the run
has been stopped.

Protection for the Farmer.

Some democratic and peoples party
organs and speakers are trying to make
the farmers believe that they are not
being protected in the least by the Nc
Kinley bill. The opposite is true. The
Mckinley bill places some of its
heaviest protection on the prod UctiOns
of the farm. 1t does much to give the
farmers immunity from outside COM
petition. It is far more favorable to
the farmer than any measure ever
framed. For instance compare it with
the Mills bill on some of the chief pro-
ducts:
Barley-Duty under old law, 10 cents
per bushel; Mills bill, 10 cents; new
law, 80 cents.
Buckwheat-Old law, 10 per cent;
Mills bill, 10 per cent; new law 5 cents
per bushel.

Mills bill, 10 cents; new law, Is cents.

Commendable Nominations.

The republicans of the 69th district
did well in nominating ex-Mayor Mar
tin Pease, of Hope, for representative.
Mr.. Pease has been for many years one
of the best known residents of south
Dickinson. He has been honored by
his townsmen with various positions
which showed the confidence felt in
his judgment and his nomination for
representative means still higher
honor. Mr.. Pease will receive the
hearty support of republicans in all
sections of the district. He is known
as thoughtful, welI-read man, one
in whom any trust can safely be placed.
The REFLECTOR believes that he will
serve the people most excellently in
the legislature, to which body he will
undoubtedly be elected by handsome
majority.
The nomination of c. II. K9pke, of
Lyon township, for commissioner by
the republicans of the First commits
sioner district could not be improved
upon. Mr.. Kepke is a farmer who
has by good management and careful
attention to details proved the posi-
bilities of Kansas in agriculture. AS
he has made successful farmer so he
will make a successful commissioner.
He knows the needs and desires of the
people of Dickinson county and will
look after them in a manner that will
reflect credit upon the county and upon
the board of commissioners. G.. H.
KGpke will make a model commits
sioner. The REFLECTOR congratulates
the First district on its choice.

On the Run.

From now to the end of the
useless career of the peoples party, the
great effort of large number of the
members of the alliance will be to use
it as political machine to advance
the interests of tnat party. Hundreds
and thousands of individual members
are already Disguised with the evident
attempt to destroy the usefulness of
the order. Two alliances of this coun-
ty have practically surrendered their
charters and have no meetings. The
same reports are coming from other
parts Of the state. 1t is only by the
almost superhuman efforts of the
leaders that the members can be in
duced to keep up their meetings. The
leaders of the peoples party already
see the handwriting upon the wall.
To hold their political machine intact
until after the November election
they have been compelled to command
the members to surrender their God
given rights to free thought and free
speech; to keep them from attending
meetings where the issues are discussed
with freedom and intelligence; to
forbid their hearing anything other
than the silly twaddle that emanates
from such visionary dyspeptics as
Davis, Willis and Lease. Unless the
alliance purges itself of its political
cranks and relegates its ofice-seeking
membership to the rear, the principal
business of the state secretary during
the next few months will be to cancel
surrendered charters.

GOOD TARIFF ARGUMENTS.


Extracts From Recent Speeches IN the Sem
ate Decrease of Prices Export Dis
counts-Wages in the Glass Industry-The
Result of a Tariff For Revenue Only
Burning Corn For Fuel
SENATOR MORRILL,, OF VERMONT.
1t is true that some agricultural prod
ucts now bring less price than was
current for some years after the war of
the rebellion, but this depression of
prices is not peculiar to the United
States 1t pervades the whole world,
and is more serious in Great Britain,
where free trade prevails, than any
where else. Here, however, farmers
have the satisfaction to find that the
chief articles of consumption, which
they have to buy, have been reduced in
price even more than any reduction up
on farm products. A bushel of corn in
New England will buy more cotton
cloth, or more crockery and glass ware,
more salt and more calico, gingham
and other dress goods for women than
ever before. will append list Of ar
ticles in common use, which might be
greatly enlarged, to show the decline in
general prices ever since 1880.
The following is statement showing
the decrease in price of many articles
within the past ten years largely con-
sumed by the agricultural community:

Polk as a Rebel,

In view of the presence OF l.. L.
Polk, the southern boss OF the peoples
party at Topeka this week the follow
ing from the K. G. journal Will be of
interest: Though the courtesy of Mr..
Frank A. StilsOn, thoroughly reliable
and trustworthy farmer living in West
Sibley township, Cloud county, this
state, the Journal correspondent is en-
abled to give an account of one incl
dent of President Folks war record,
that is full of interest, especially as he
is in command of the peoples party in
Kansas, and directs every movement
through secret orders to his chief lieu
tenants, who remain ON the ground
here to do, the bidding of their COM
handing officer. Mr.. StilsOn is an old
soldier and while in Concordia recently
made a statement that Mr.. Polk once
commanded rebel force that captured
a company of Union soldiers, and
rather than have them escape he order
ed them shot. Mr.. G.. w. Smith. of
Clyde, Kas., wrote to Mr.. Stilson, as
one cOmrade would to another, asking
him for the facts. Mr.. StilsOn has in
dited areply embodying the following
statement:
Sat Gettysburg, on July 1, 1868, the
Union army was being forced back
through the town, hard pressed by the
enemy. Polk commanded a rebel
force, which captured company of the
One Hundred and Fifty-frst Pennsyl-
YaDia regiment. He was marching his
prisoners to the rear when the balance
of the regiment executed flank move
ment and intercepted his retreat. Polk
saw that he could not escape with the
captured men, and was heard to ex-
claim: If l can't get away with these
prisoners, d-n them, | can shoot
them,' and he ordered vOlley fired in
to their ranks. AS a result eleven men
were killed and seventeen wounded.
A cousin of mine was in that regiment
and was one of the seventeen poor dev-
lis, unarmed and aprisoner of war, that
was plugged with rebel lead. His
lame is Samuel Stilson and he is now
residing near Buffalo, n. Y.
And this is the man elected national
president of the farmers alliance by
the loyal men of the shingle, sod and
dug-Out palaces of the north. A fieDd
incarnate in human form. There can
be no disputing the evidence of men
who carry bullets received on that day,
and by Folks orders. Cold-blooded
devil, as he is, he is the man to head a
great reform movement. 1t is such
men who squirm under the merciless
tongue of John J. Ingalls,, and make
bis defeat the chief issue of the cam
paign. Some say the war is a dead
issue, but when a few Folks emerge on
the fields of the north it is an insult to
every iberty-loving, loyal man and
brings the late unpleasantness before
the most people as the important sub
ject of the hour"

Another Falsehood Refuted.

Would-be governor Willis in his
speech the other day at Mcpherson,
made this statement: "That the rail-
roads of this state are assessed for tax
alton at only per cent of their value,
while other property is assessed at from
80 to 40 per cent" AS Willis is rid
ing about the state on a free railroad
pass, he ought not to make such state
ments. His object, we suppose, was
more to misrepresent the republican
state officers who act as board Of state
railroad assessors, than to injure the
property of the gentlemen who furnish
him free transportation.
Now the following table, compiled
from official sources, will show how far
he fell short of the truth when he made
such a reckless assertion:
Assessed valuation of all other
property than railroads for the
year 1888. $685.. s6l ,9s4 90
Railroad assessment, 1888. 52,S29 664 50
Other property, 1889. 2O2 s,O35 80
Railroad assessment, 1889. ....... 57,49 $40 IS
other property, 1893. ........... 2S9, S5O,9e9 20
Railroad assessment, 1890. ....... 6,s66,2S2 81
Railroads pay one-sixth of entire
taxes.
Increase in railroad assessment since
administration of Governor Humphrey,
S., 036, 56S.4S.
Decrease in assessed valuation of
other property than railroads Turing
Governor Humphreys administration,
50, O10, 959.75, or a total amount of as
sessed valuation IN favor of property,
the taxes of which are paid by the peo-
pie, as against that Of railroad corpora
tions, S14,O47 ,52S.23. This is the
showing during the administration of
Governor Humphrey.
The total value of all railroad prop
erty as near as we have at hand the
data for estimation, is S165, 734, 361 %;
the assessed valuation for taxation pur-
poses for the year 1890 is as stated
above, $57, 1856, 232 81, and this makes
the assessed value more than 80 per
cent of the total valuation, and we
poubt if the other property of the state
is assessed at SO per cent of its true
value.
There are S,720 miles of railroad coz
and operated in the state, and
its actual cost of construction, includ-
ing rolling stock and all other equip
ment to this date, is a little less than
$4,000 per mile, making total of
1855, 734, 361.2S. This does not repre-
sent either the value of the stock or the
earning capacity of the various lines,
but is the actual cost of construction
and equipment as gathered from various
sources. Of course, railroads have not
a commercial or market value as other
has.
If Mr.. Willis does rot know any,
thing more about state affairs than he
does about taxation of railroads, he
had better be sent to the district school
for term rather than be posing as a
for governor. And now that
Willis has called the attention of the
public to this matter, we embrace the
to congratulate the people
of this state on the fact that they have
state officers who do their whole duty
to the people, and who are net inhu-
enced by railroadi corporations.

Free Trade Dishonesty.

The Leavenworth Times which has
conducted the tariff discussion during
the campaign in an eminently fair and
able manner exposes some of the free
trade dishonesty in the following arti-
Gle which is so good that we copy it in
full:
A Kansas City firm, with an eye to
business, advertises that the Mckinley
bill will raise the price of linens ''35 to
so per cent? and the Kansas City
Times and Star. free trade papers, base
on this advertisement editorials de-
nouncing the Mckinley bill as a bill
that will prove great hardship to the
people. 1t does not seem to have en-
tered the heads of the editors of these
democratic sheets to examine the Nc
Kinley bill itself to see if this enter
prising firm has stated the case correct
ly, or if they did examine the bill they
had not sufficient honesty to correct
the statement of the advertiser. The
fact of the matter is that on brown
and bleached linen cloths, the kind
that are used most by the people, there
is no increase. The Mckinley bill
leaves the tariff just as it was in the
old law. On manufactured articles of
linen, laces, edging, embroideries, etc.,
the luxuries of the rich, there is a con-
siderable increase, perhaps So to so per
cent but this does not greatly affect the
poor people except as it will give adj
ditional work and better pay 10 poor
sewing women.
And this is a sample of the methods
that will be employed during this cam
paign to deceive the people as to the
effect of the Mckinley bill. 1t is dis
honest. The people should be slow to
accept such statements from partisan
papers or speakers. A year hence these
same papers and speakers will be busy
trying to show that the increased pros
perity of the country is not due to the
Mckinley bill.
