The Merry War.

This is the Republicans year IN sit
back and laugh. At Is the season when
throughout Kansas they can withdraw
into the towers and fortress peep holes
to watch the merry jousts and wrangles
going on between those combined TO
defeat them. Fusion has been changed
to confusion. No agreement has been
reached as TO whether the Populists or
Democrats are to occupy the top Of the
saddle or as to which shall be the ami
NAL beneath IL. The leaders OF both
parties are swapping long whips, look
ing fierce and giving lusty orders but
the opposition refuses to bulge.
The latest pronunciamento is that Of
Mr. Breidenthsl who seeing to be thu
premier Of the new State dynasty
though not Of the Federal forces. at
a single fusion Democrat" says he,
refuses to enter the caucus and agree
TO abide by its decision no Democrat
will receive a vote In the caucus for
United States senator. The Demo
cratic candidates for senator must 60
into the caucus on equal footing with
the Populist candidates. II any
attempt is made 10 bolt the caucus
with view To forcing dead lock that
Democrat may ultimately be elected
| am certain that the Populisis would
refuse to vote at all and make an
election at the coming session impossi
BILE. In that event Senator Perkins
would hold over and Populists would
prefer that he should rather than sub
init to bulldozing tactics"
There's politics for you. Surprising

and with a ratio Of Democrats to 81
Populists attempt to gain something

HOLIDAY GREETINGS.

IaING of all seasons, best Of all
i 4 times, Is the holiday period
that rests like n beautiful arch upon
Christmas and New Years las pillars.
II happiness comes not then, 1t eau
never come. IL sadness cannot then
be banlshed its hold is lasting.
1t is false idea Of holiday time that
makes 1t a series Of feasts and indul-
gence. The true holiday spirit comes
from within, not from withouC. Not
good things to eat and drink, not
treasures TO show and wear, make
gladncss. 1t is the sentiment Of re-
newal, Of casting behind us the things
Of the past, done and undone, aud
opening a new page,
Every nation has its annual holiday.
The Christian holiday season is based
upon the noblest motto Of them all
peace on Earth; Good will to Men,"
Through the coming week that mngni-
licent utterance will echo in every
heart and II should Undue each with a
truer, better humanity.
The REFLECTOR wishes every reader
OF Its holiday number Merry Christ
mas and Happy New Year. Day by
day and week by week through the
year 1t has spoken to an increasing
number OF patrons. Each and all are
our friends. May the holiday season
be one that will will go down in each
LIES history as the brightest time they
yet have known.

An organization called the Cable Min

The placers were discovered less than
a year ago by Navajo trader named
Williams, who interested eastern cap

soon shipped to the placers on the pre-

The shipping point was Winslow,
