How They See II.

Several times the REFLECTOR has
referred TO the fact that Eastern In.
vestors would be materially influenced
In their confidence In Kansas by a
Peoples Party victory. They have
come to look upon that organization as
one with decided bias against invest
ments Of all kinds and with tendency
toward reputation Of debts. Right or
wrong, they look at 1t that way and
their opinion has been formed from the
addresses made by the Peoples Party
leaders themselves In the East. A
practical example Of the effect Of this
feeling is seen in an incident happen
ing In Abilene few days ago.
We were shown letter to one Of the
city's prominent capitalists from a
New England investor. A loan on a
Dickins"n county farm is due. The
interest has been paid promptly, taxes
kept up and the farm is worth more
than when the loan was made. The
borrower wishes renewal and the
extension had teen asked. The inves-
tor replied, saying that before he gave
his answer he wanted to ask three
questions:
"First-ls there any probability Of
Kansas being carried by the Peoples
Party this fallp
Second % IL 30 carried will any
reputation of mortgage indebtedness
be atipmptcdY
"Third-Is Mr.. - the borrower
n member Of the Peoples rartyp
lie added that upon the answers to
these three questions would bis reply
DO based. The first question was an.
swered emphatically In the negative.
The second was answered the same,
with the remark that should anything
of the kind he attempted the Legislators
would be- driven out Of the capitol,
worse than were the money changers
Of old from the temple. The third
was reluctantly answered in the affirm
alive.
The loan has not yet been renewed.

In October 1891, the Secretary of tho
Treasury stated that the active circula-

ten months to Aug. /, the estimated
increase of the population was BOT, 900
and yet the circulation to each head of
population on the first of this month

Dickinson'g Good Sense

Hon. Q. Hoffman, one Of the pio-
neers Of Dickinson county, WAS nomi-
mated Saturday in Abilene for Repre-
s'ntative. 1t Is encouraging to notice
the politicians up there standing back

the politics Of county II the lawyers
and professional politicians know when
that limit has been reached. The
fellows up In Dickinson seem to have
caught on to few things, and are
conducting their behavior in manner
becoming rational men. lie will get
votes from all classes.
The next sensible play will be to
nominate Hon. U. l. Thisler, OF
Dickinson, for the State Senate, as we
are informed will be done. Mr. Thi-ler
is thorough Kansan, a self ~ de
man, eminently successful as farmer
and breeder of pure bred cattle aud
hogs and an importer Of Percheron
and French coach horses, and now
making some investments In roadsters.
Such men beginning as he did in
Kansas as farm laborer 10y the month,
are the ones to represent a purely
agricultural county in the Legislature.
Mr.. Thisler Is widely known and popu-
lar,--IJunction City Union.

The New York Sun has been review
ing evidence relating to the sensations

and says of recent cases: "Conhrma

friendly, kindly clasp; that the pains
are like the pleasure Of life, greatest in
the anticipation, aud however severe
the Struggle may seem to an onlouker,
dying is as painless, because as natural
as falling asleep" This is decidedly
encouraging to the Democrats and
Peoples Pdrtyltes. 1t would be sad

higher or lower, according as the sec

natural consequence Of placing the

market developed by the latter for the

In higher prices for those products, hut

higher wages for the worltingmen pro-
