New YORK, February 16.-A
little story is around among favor

not be true, but politicians who

the play he and the Colonel walked

ed a surface car on their way to
Senator Hills hotel. After a few
minutes a nan and a woman enter
ed the car. All the seats were then
occupied, and Senator Hill, arising
quickly, lifted his hat and offered
his seat to the woman. At that
moment her escort touched her on
the arm.
"Do not take the seat" he whis-
pered, as the story goes.
Senator Hill, his friend, the Col

passengers remained standing.
When the Senator and the Colonel
left the ear at the street where they
were to walk over to the hotel the
Colonel turned to Mr.. Hill.
"Senator, 'he said, "do al women
in New York show so much defer

they decline to take their seats from
them?"
"0h, no." answered Senator Hill
dryly; THAT was Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.

The Democratic administration st

and startling that Cleveland in his

terred to il with great joy. "A whole

"the wheels Of domestic industry
have been set in motion-"slowly."
Mr.. Cleveland also finds that "our re-
,overy" is steadily progressing. II
the country wants to continue to
1ask in the particular kind OF trade
sunshine which the accession Of the

will continue to vote for the nominees

ity and texture OF Cleveland's prosper
ity and the country can have it for an

Two Planks Are Enough.

Ed Hoch was interviewed at
Wichita the other day and in answer
to what kind Of platform the Repub-
Leans should adopt said that one with
two planks would be enough. Those
he defined as follows
Zone plank enclosing the national
Republican platform; the other
pledging our efforts, combined and
individual, to redeem the State from
the grip Of the socialists in theory and
the anarchists in practice. These
two planks would be sufficient this
year, for the Republicans mean bust
ness"
There has been some doubt as to
the entire appropriateness OF Mr..
lIoch's letter given out a few days
ago but there can be no disagreement
with his idea Of platform. The
REFLECTOR has all along urged exact
ly that kind. To drag in q half
column Of specialties and isms is not
only bad policy but it means harder
work to win. Two planks are enough
and It should be seen to early in the
campaign that the resolution commit
tee is limited to them. They cover
every idea necessary to good fighting
ammunition and make platform
strong enough for any candidate to
stand on.

during March were reported. Special

the extent OF damage resulting from
these frosts and freezing we timer, and
show that not much damage has been
done in New England, New York and
Pennsylvania
In New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia,

most early fruits and vegetables are
greatly damaged, aud In the more
southern states entirely killed.
In Florida the crops were only
slightly injured, no harm being done

"Is New York More Civilized than
Kansas" the Forum article by J. W.
ilced to which we called attention u
lew days ago is just out in the April
number of the Forum. 1t is not only
the strongest article in the magazine
but is an honor to Kansas and the
writer. 1t covers II pages and is too
long to be synopsized--it should be
read. Those who miss il will miss
the best article in many months
touching Kansas. The argument is
an able one, the facts being marshal
ed in an attractive and literary style
that compels close attention. 1t not
only makes II strong case for Kansas,
and incidentally splendid advertise
ment, but Ia interesting as com
parison Of the civilizations Of great

Some one was lamenting the other
day that there was no one to collect
the Indian history and traditions OF
the West before their complete fading
away in the light of civilization. The
man to do that is DR., Clarence L.
Edwords, managing editor of the Kan
sas City journal. His series of
articles on Indian life now running in
the Journal Is one of the clearest and
most comprehensive ever published.
He writes from wide personal ex-
perience and keen observation. Dr.
Edwords can write book on Indian
life that will be readable and worthy

A Parlor Concert.

A parlor concert will be given for
the benefit Of the Episcopal church
Friday evening at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. c. F, Mead by the singers
who went to Salina last week. The
Salina program will be repeated and
Emil Suffer will also give some in
strumental selections. The Salina
people were quite charmed with the
program and the Republican said
among other complimentary things;
In commenting upon the quality Of
the entertainment none OF that charity,
which Is customarily extended to
guests, will be needed. A faithful ac-
count Of the various excellent num-
beers Of the evening would be the high
est form Of compliment possible. The
program consisted OF twelve numbers
and each one was received with gem
uine pleasure by the discriminating
audience. Next was music by
the Ladies Quartette, Mesdames Hew-
EFT. Case. Mead and Cowles. The Abb
ilene lovers OF music are justly proud
Of this quartette. 1t presents har-
monious combination OF voices, and
their ensemble singing is exquisite.
The ladies have evidently been drilled
with great care and intelligence. They
sang several songs, some OF which
were exceeding difficult, but in every
number the remarkable efficiency Of
the quartette was proved. The
musical monotony Of the evening was
broken In an enjoyable manner by
short address from Hon. 4. c. Little.
The solos by Mrs. cowles, Mrs.
Hodge. Mrs. Hewett, Mrs. Mead and
DR.. Hewett were also highly praised.

gleness Of purpose is necessary to

want Of this quality is the iniirmity
Of this administration and the present

liscontent of every kind. 1t was not
the result OF unity of purpose, nor. of

1t was the outcome of misguided
Judgment, pique, passion and pre-
