The reports from every section of the
state indicate that sheep came through the
winter i'll magnificent shape, although it
was late when many of them were brought
to this state. The increase was more than
expected and the outlook is bright on this
industry, which will add greatly to the
value of the state.

necessary facts to justify this grand iury
in presenting indictments"
New Orleans Sentiment.

New ORLEANS, May 6.-The States
says: The report of the grand jury
brings to light a number of startling
facts, all more or less directly concern
ing the assassination of the late superin-
tendent of police in this city. The mis-
carriage Of justice in the prosecution of
the murderers and the subsequent lynch
ing Of the latter in the parish prison.
Naturally the grand jury could indict no
one or no number of persons concerned
in this. The "people" did it, and no
grand jury could devise way to indict
the people"
The Times says: The grand jury has
made proper return in the parish pris-
on lynching--a return that will meet
with the approval of the entire people,
not Of New Orleans alone, but of the
country. The case had, indeed, been
tried by the press before the bar OF pub
lie opinion aud verdict of not guilty
and and finding of 'well done" had
long since been returned as to the men
whose act suppressed the Malta and gave
warning to the criminals of Europe that
they would find no home in this coun-
try.
The Picayune says: We accept the
declaration of the inability of the grand
jury to get information as to the partici-
pants in the storming of the parish pris-
on. Doubtless there was large sympa-
thy in the community with the perpetra-
tors of the act after they were commit
ted, but sympathy after the fact is not
guilt and not participation. The grand
jury could not find the guilty parties.
That is plain enough.

Take It Easy,

The row in the democratic party in
Chicago shows that party victory last
year does not mean party success this
year or next year. In their enthnsi-
asm over the landslide last November
the democrats Immediately commenced
to act as though a democratic presi-
dent was secured for 1892, and in some
cases the more hungry members of
that party who had been suddenly and
prematurely shut off from the public
swill, went about selecting their places
under the, as they thought, surely
coming democratic administration
ShreWd Senator German was of the
few democratic leaders who took the
trouble to analyze the November vote.
He didn't see any landslide that could
be counted on for the future. The
figures told him that for some reason
the republican vote was not pOlled,
and with a GOODNESS that chilled the
blood of the rank and file, he intimated
that his party was a long ways from
being out of the timber in its march on
the presidency.
In New York state the Cleveland
and Hill factions meet socially and
pretend to be on friendly terms, but a
close observer has no difficulty in dis
covering a razor in every boot. And
now comes the democratic riot in Chi
cago, and the indications are that
Carter Harrison, with his political
Malta, will do great damage to the
very thirsty and very hungry demo-
Gratis of the Windy City.
Jerry Simpson, over whose election
our democratic friend rejoicsd 50
heartily, in a recent ir1ciview declared
that the alliance candidate feT presi.
dent will carry seven southern states,
knocking the snli3 south higher than
Mr.. Gilderoy's kite.
In view of recent events it might be
wensfor the democratic gentlemen Ell
gagged IN picking out their places under
the next administration to put theiI
enthusiasm in a cold-storage ware.

The People Have Spoken.

The result of the city election is
given in the proper column. The peo-
pie have made their choice of the is
sues presented to them and though the
REFLECTOR proposes to spend no time
in grumbling over their decision we
believe that Abilene has made mis-
take in its vote. So far as our late
opponents are personally concerned we
have for them only the highest respect,
but it is unfortunate for any city when
CRY of reputation of honest debts is
endorsed by its citizens. In any bust
ness man such an action regarding his
personal affairs would at once lose him
confidence and trust. The result can
not be otherwise with a community.
The depreciation in realty values which
has taken place in the past emphasizes
the necessity of building up Abilene's
credit not weakening it.
We hope that the administration
which is reelected to power will be less
radical than it has pretended. We
hope that it will refrain from damag-
ing beyond recuperation the city's
good name.
The REFLECTOR has a firm faith in
and great hopes of this city. 1t has
done more to advertise in a business
like manner the advantages of Abilene
than any other institution the city evei
knew. Every issue of this paper has
fought for Abilene's interests and the
future will see no diminutiOn of effort
The REFLECTOR will continue to be
Abilene's staunchest supporter and tC
advocate an honest, fair and business.

A Costly Experiment.

Senator Buchan has made compre-
hensiye and convincing reply to the
peoples party manifesto on the work
of the legislature. He shows by giving
the records of the session that the ALI
ance cost the state more money and
accomplished less than any house that
ever met in Kansas.
The house committee prepared
printers bill which appropriated Sl53-
600 for that department for the fiscal
years of 1892 and 1898, S12, 5O9,90 more
than a republican Legislature appro-
priated two years ago. Special investi-
cations made by the house cost the
state S42 ,22S.S9. The sum total of
appropriations provided for in 1892 was
1924, 482. 81 and in 1898, 1907, 1888.
Considering that nothing was accom-
plished the experiment was one Kansas
will not care to repeat.

The G. A. R. Anniversary.

The recognition of the quarter CEN
tennial of the organization of the G. A.
R. as given in the Bonebrake opera
house last evening was not less graceful
than fitting. The Grand Army of the
Republic is an order to which too
much praise and honor cannot be
given. Its record has been one of
which every member may we'll be
proud. Its membership includes the
nations noblest heroes and most trust
worthy supporters. They risked their
lives once for the nations preservation
and are still its staunch lovers.
The first post of the G. A. R. was
organized at Decatur, Ills, by DR.. B.
F. Stephenson and Rev. w. J. Rut-
ledge, respectively surgeon and chap
lain of the Fourteenth Illinois infantry,
while that regiment was in active
service. These officers had during the
campaign Of 1854 talked of an organi-
zation of soldiers to be formed after
their return to civil life, and the
Decatur meeting was the first tangible
result of their planning. With tue
close of that day there were twelve
Grand Army men in the world. On
last evening, by order of Commander
in chief Weary, more than 1000 posts,
with an aggregate active membership
of nearly SOC, 900 assembled to conduct
services commemorative of the birth of
the Grand Army just twenty-five years
before. at the fixed hour of $50 on
that evening theEe was read in every

he doesn't want to be removed to dis

his squaw with him. 1t would be a
good idea to provide them all with
matched horses, splendidly cushioned
saddles, and carriages for the squaw to
ride in. Then let them go at their own

The United States Experiment sta
ton at the Agricultural college has just
issued a bulletin entitled Additional
Experiments and Observations on
Oats Smut" 1t describes the disease
and its method of spreading. 1t esti-
mates the loss from smut during the
year 1890 in Kansas at 81, 743, 1927.
Treated seed gives a greatly increased
yield. Smut may be prevented by i'm
mersing the seed twenty-four hours in
one-half per cent solution of potassium
sulphides. This has been tested by a
few experiments during they year. Seed
from first cleared fields will produce a
crop free from Smut, but if smut is in
adjoining fields the sound oats will
gradually become infected. That sta
ton is preparing to begin experiments

Reciprocity With Mexico.

A reciprocity treaty between this
country and Mexico is now in progress
Of negotiation. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that any definite results will be
reached for some time to come, as this
government will delay in the hope that
the present resentful feeling in Mexico
against the United States will cease in
the course of time. The existence of
this feeling has compelled Secretary
Blaine to be extremely delicate and
diplomatic in his overtures, and the
task before him OF bringing the negotia-
tons to a successful conclusion will be
an arduous one. The administration
hopes, however, to see the reciprocity
treaty with Mexico an accomplished
fact before the 4th of March 1898.
The demand for it comes not only from
the grain producers of the west, but
from the manufacturers of the south
and southwest. 10 New Orleans espe-
cially there are a large number of man
ufacturers who can ship their goods
across to Vera Cruz if a reciprocity
treaty is arranged. The hope of sue
cess depends, hoV ever, on the fact that
this new arrangement will not have to
run the gauntlet of congress. When an
agreement has been reached the proc
lamatiOn of the pesidents of both re-
publics will be the only step necessary
for its ratification.

not slight nor distant. These immi-
