The Judicial Convention,

The action Of the judicial convention
at Junction City in almost unanimous
ly nominating NJ. B. Nicholson for
Judge will be surprise to many who
had confidence in Mr.. Nicholson's
political steadfastLess. Within eight
months he has denounced openly the
sub treasury scheme, the alliance plat
forms and the peoples party, has
gloried over the defeat of the alliance
candidate for chief justice and then,
induced by hope of reelection, has
swallowed the Ocala and Cincinnati
platforms whole and renowned all ale
glance to the democratic party and
declared that he was an alliance man
entirely.
Mr.. Nicholson will deceive no one.
The people know that he was equally
ready to accept a republican, demo-
cratic, prohibition or mugwump nomi-
nation had it been rendered and they
will continue to remember it when
November comes. 1t will be indeed
strange il even the alliances we'll
known capabilities for being used as a
tool will allow Mr.. Nicholson to receive
its support when he has so bitterly
denounced every alliance principle up
to few weeks ago.

"Denonncing" Mckinley,

About every democratic convention
yet held this year has taken pains 10
assert without reserve, "We denounce
the Mckinley law" 1t was done in
Ohio and Iowa and seems to be part
of democracy's creed. This fit means
anything means a denunciation of:
l. Giving % pounds of sugar 10 tie
consumer instead of II, for $l.OO.
2. The large reductions which the
bill makes in nearly all articles of iron
and steel in common use.
3. The large increase that bill
makes in tina free list.
4. Placing on the free list all the
fbers from which binding Irvine is
made.
5. The reduction Of binding Irvine
from 50 per cent to 40 of l cent per
pound.
8. The increased duties on farm
products, which must favor the farm
erS of this nation.
7. The duty which is now clearly
giving poultry raisers and 3 cents
extra per dozen for their eggs.
S. Reciprocity, which is opening up
new and rich markets for the products
of our farms and manufactures, and
breaking down barriers which nations
in Europe have erected against Amer
lean pork and beef.
BY going into detail this list of
things denounced" could be extended
into columns. The general facts are
enough to show that democracy is
against the measures and principles
which work for the prosperity of the
people.

A Judicial Convention.

The general dissatisfaction manifest
ed among democrats, republicans and
alliance men, over the nomination at
Junction City, by the alliance conven-
tion, of Judge Nicholson has resulted
in the calling of non-partisan cOnven-
ton to meet in Junction City on Sat
urday, August lst at 2p. m. to which
are invited all persons who desire to
raise the Judiciary of this district above
mire of partisan politics.
The humiliating attitude in which
Judge Nicholson placed himself in
order to procure the nomination has
proven anything but satisfactory to
any of the parties. His democratic
friends accuse him of the basest treach-
cry to party which has always given
him its cordial support. The alliance
people remembering his accusations
against them one year ago when he
thought he had a chance to go to the
supreme bench, and also his bitter de-
nunciatioDs of their peculiar doctrines
Immediately after the Cincinnati con-
vention, regard his recent conversion
to their order as for revenue only" and
that party is fast reaching that point
when it will have little use for the
chronic Office seekers. The situation is
very interesting and promises no end of
fun before November.

The Sub-Treasury Middle

Authoritative dispatches from TOpe-
ka say that "With one exception, S. NJ.
Scott, all the farmers alliance lecturers
OF Kansas have declined to instruct
the people in the principles of the sub
treasury scheme, They say the people
are opposed to it almost unanimously.
A vote is now being taken in the sub
alliances on the question of dropping
the scheme from the alliance platform.
1t is believed a majority of the alliance
will vote in favor of dropping it,"
In the meanwhile President Living
ston said Tuesday in a speech in
Georgia: 1.-The sub-treasury plan is all
we've got" he said, land for Gods
sake don't slap it out of our mouth
unless you put something in its place. "
With the only objects for which the
peoples party was organized being one
by one abandoned the query arises.
what in the world is the party in the
field for? There ought to be evidence
enough by this time to convince the
blindest that the members of the
party are being worked" for the
benefit of few office grabbers.

The Tariff the Issue,

There is much interest being felt in
the election in Ohio this year, espec-
tally since the selection by the divided
and wrangling democracy of platform
and a leader. The approach of another
national election and Importance of
the tariff issue makes the fight in the
Buckeye state one to be watched
closely. The battle will be a straight
one on the Mckinley tariff bill.
The republicans, rightly says the
Inter Ocean, by nominating Major Nc
Kinley on a platform of his own franz
ing, threw down tie challenge of a
contest over the tariff issue and the
democrats accept that line of battle.
But it is no secret that they are far
from being at all confident of victory.
They recognize in private the fact that
time has exploded much of the powder
they used so effectively last year. Some
Misrepresentation can be practiced
still, but the great campaign of lies can
not be duplicated and the democracy
will find that a powerful reaction has
set in.
The election in Ohio will be deeply
significant as a prophecy for 1892. In
Iowa the local issue of prohibition will
enter largely into the contest, but Ohio
will fight out the battle on national
ground. There will be no perceptible
detection from either party. The sop
thrown to the farmers alliance by de-
ciaring for free silver is not likely to
deceive any except those who want to
be fooled and are looking for some eX-
cuse to vote the democratic ticket.
Each party loses and gains little
from sOreheads, and it is difficult to
estimate the relative strength of these
two counter currents. 1t is reasonably
safe to say that they will prove about
"a stand off, all around.
Ohio is a republican state on a full
vote as its record has abundantly
shown. There is every reason to an
ticipate full vote this fall on both
sides, almost as full as at presidential
election. The republicans must see
in the plain indications in that direc
ton happy omen of victory.

The Silver Circulation.

II may be true that the government is is
suing silver certificates to the amount
named a, 500 900 a MONTH although there Is
no way of finding this out, but in order to
issue the certificates 1t has first 10 buy from
the mine owners or spectators ia silver its
equivalent in silver bullion and in purchas-
ing the bullion the government has to pay
the market price for it, When this is done
we would like to have the REFLECTOR ex-
plain how it increases the circulating me-
dunn 100000 every thirty days?-LDickin-
son County News.
Great guns! And man who makes
the above fool break has edited papers
for 80 years and has posed as an in
structor of the people. When a man
cannot see that the governments is
suing certificates against bullion is ex-
actly equivalent to cutting the bullion
up into dollar pieces and stamping
them, so far as it increases the circula-
tion, he is too dumb to argue with.
The money used to buy bullion is al
ready in circulation. that lit has been
officially issued from the mint. III the
first step the private individual has say
500 worth of bullion; the government
has 500 in money. After the sale the
private individual has the money and
the government the bullion. Then the
certificates are issued against the bull
lion for 500 and so instead 500 in
money being held by the two parties
there is now 5000, which is exactly the
same as if the bullion were coined.
The News sees plainly that it is
cornered and is only trying to crawl
out of the awkward hole in which it
finds itself as a falsiier of facts in
order to mislead its subscribers on na-
tional party policies.

Prices Of Animals and Slaves.

In the price-list of the Hagenbeck
Sale Menagerie" of Hamburg, Ger
many, ,giraffes figure at $1,000 a pair,
and several chimpanzees at $500 apiece
The price of Asiatic apes varies from
S75 to $500 and three gibbon monkeys
from Sumatra are offered at 81 900 the
lot. Even these terms appear, how
ever, modest, if compared with those
of amateur horse breeders and dog
fanciers. Mastiff pups of old England
have more than once been offered at
$1,000 apiece, and on both sides of the
Atlantic there are race horses that
could not be bought for less than $50
900. The African dealers in twO-legged
household pets are, on the other hand,
remarkably liberal. In the western
Soudan female slaves can be bought
for IS. Males come a little higher But
on the upper Congo job lots of male
children are frequently offered at $50 a
dozen.-Chicago Times

The demand for labor in this country
is improving, thanks to the much
abused Mckinley tariff. In some sec
tions, indeed, the demand is far in ad-
vance of the supply. In South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Florida, for example,
cOttOn-raisers are complaining that
they find difficulty in getting the help
they require. Manufacturers are able
to pay good prices and are absorbing a
great deal Of the labor of the country.
The phosphate industry of the south is
another interest which is holding out
strong inducements to workingmen of
various classes, On the other hand, the
farming boom in the west has active
requirements. The sugar beet indus
try in Nebraska alone is drawing hands
from near and far to cultivate the crop
and take care Of it when it is ready to
be made into sugar. Times are best
when there is plenty of work for, will
ing hands to do, and when there is
good pay for the work that is done.
Farmers need not be alarmed at hav-
ing to pay well for their help.

The papers at Chapman, Enterprise
and HeringtOn seem to be jealous for
the standing of their own towns and
are belittling the efforts of the others
and the attractions secured. 1t does
not pay. We are all one in our love
for Dickinson county and Kansas.
Whatever benefits one benefits all and
there should be mutual help and en-
enlargement. The coming season is
rich with promise. The towns of
Dickinson county have all had a hard
struggle to hold their ground during
the past two or three years and every
movement that helps toward a higher
prosperity for any one of the pushing
cities of the county should be gladly
aided by all. Let us be generous and
avoid disparagement.
