A formerly.of Abilene man, M. M.
Shipe, is a candidate for mayor Of the
capital city Of Texas, Austin, and the
REFLECTOR hopes he will win. No
man who ever lived in Abilene worked
harder to build up this city; no man
spent more days and nights laboring
for the ciis's good; none ever had
fewer enemies or more friends. In
prosperity and in adversely he was
the same. He was the only man we
ever knew who never lost courage even
when the brightest hopes were dashed
down by the decadence Of values
brought on by bad crop years and
natural causes. Ten men like Mr..
Shipe could make metropolis in the
Panhandle and he alone at the head
Of the city governments Of Austin with
the vast resources and business
attractions that surround that
beautiful and growing city will build
1t up at wonderful rate and prove a
power for the increase OF business
II Austin wants a wide-awake, enter
prising, honest mayor 1t will elect Mr..
Shipe.

q disposition to do so, for Its assessed vulua-
lon Ii steadily decreasing and less taxes are
being paid yearly, This condition Is true of
many other western Kansas counties that
are heavily bonded, and 1t Is only a matter
Of time before they will DO forced 10 repu-
dlatc.
The above are the closing words Of
a dispatch sent from Topeka regard
ing $4,000 Of Scott county refund
ing bonds which it is claimed were
illegally issued and is sample Of the
kind Of injury being done the state
by irresponsible and uniformed wri-
tiers. Western Kansas is repudiating
no bonds nor will 1t ever do so--nor
could it do SO II II would. The valua-
ton Of Scott county is $2,0O0,000.
Is not that enough to float $l42,0O0 Of

which will not be paid, but Kansas
has no regularly issued securities
which are not as good as gold.

Seconds the Suggestion.

Lawrence Journal The Abilene Re-
FLEcroR is the first to protest against
sending to the next national conven-
ton our congressman and other Off
GERS. The journal heartily endorses
the kick. 1t is one Of the great mis-
takes made by the Republican party
in the past that it allows its Office
holders to dictate, to make, Its nomi-
nations. A fatal error has been made
once at least by this habit, and It is
time to call a halt. No man who
holds a federal position Of any kind
should be sent as u delegate to a
national convention. 1t is q pernic-
ious practice, and one that the Repub-
Leans should repudiate.

A Business Proposition.

There is nothing in the printing
line that the REFLECTOR can't do. II
can print anything. Nothing too fine
or too good. Besides artistic job
printing II can print advertising
worth the price in a paper that every
body reads.
There are other printing Offices in
the city also which are more or less
prepared to do advertising and JOB
work. Yet every little while the
newspaper offices Of town are cheated
out Of work by travelling advertising
iakirs Of one kind or another. The
editors Of these papers live here and
spend their money here. The RE-
FLEcroR has pay roll OF 800 a week.
all this goes into the pockets Of the
the business men. When an advertis-
inc iakir comes TO town he takes
money out Of the town which should
go TO pay these printers the result is
that some printer Is laid off and Abb
lene loses just the amount Of the
printers money. What II the editors
of these papers who depend on this
town for support should patronize
travelling peddlersP What If they
should bite at every man with shod-
dy clothing proposition who comes
through town. What II the editor
should buy his groceries of the tray-
cling swindlers who poster the mer.
chants to death, or send to Kansas
City for themP 1t is all the same.
There is no reason why these travel
ing fakirs should thrive. Their adj
yertising is no good. The fellow who
puts up a clock in the postolllce, the
one who hung maps in the barber
shops, spent the money elsewhere.
Not dollar remained here. The
honest advertising man was left to
whistle. What did the fakir's adver-
tisement amount TOP 1t was seat
tered around the depot, hotels and
barber shops. The men who frequent
hotel lobbies are strangers; they
don't trade in town, How many tray-
cling men at Mr.. Cowles' and Mr..
Carpenters justly popular taverns

ware in Abilenep What is the use Of

pie who patronze business men are

nAfendino thu Democrats.

When Eli Perkins was asked few
days ago by reporter Of the Cleye-
land Herald about the prospects Of
the Republican party in 1896 he said
"I'm a Democrat, you know, and !
only keep track Of our prosperous
Democratic party The Democratic
party is doing WE'LL"
sIn what respectp" asked the re-
porter.
"Why, we have made a deficit Of
sSOO,OOO,OOO since Grover got in and
borrowed the money to pay 1t. we
are enjoying ourselves, and we are
going to let the Republicans do the
walking later on. The Republicans
paid $4,000, 100000 on the national
debt and guess they can pay this lit
tie $500, 900, 900 deficit"
"But what has become Of the slS2-
100000 in gold which you borrowedp'
was asked.
"Wcll, we put it with the $4,000
900 which we had in the treasury,
making $266, 900, 900 in gold, and we
have spent It all but SOL, 100000 to
pay running expenses. Instead Of
taking in money enough at the Gus
tom houses to pay for running the
government we hired gold from the
English at four per cent. Oh, we
Democrats ale smart, we are!
ave Democrats don't pay green
backs and silver to American farmers
for WOOL" continued Eli, "but we
send $S4,oOo,oo in gold a year to
Thibet and Australia"
"What are you Democrats doing
with the great industriesP' asked the
reporter.
eWhy, we are knocking them out.
We've killed the Yankee lace factory
at Wilkesbarre, and are buying ship
loads Of window curtains in Noting
ham. We have shut up a third Of the
wooden factories in Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island, and the British steam
ers come loaded with wooden cloth
from Bradford. Why, last year we
shipped So per cent more wooden
goods from England than we did I'M
der Mckinley in 1892. We Democrats
are keeping the wooden mills in Leeds
and Manchester going day and night.
And see what we are doing for our
sheep at home. The slaughter houses
in Kansas City and Omaha are killing
millions Of sheep from New Mexico
md Wyoming daily. And wool! Did
not our grasping farmers used to get
30 cents for 1t under Mckinley and
now we are sending gold to australia
and buying Swan River and Van Die
mans Land wool for 10 and 10 cents.
tell you we Democrats are running
things wild. We have to, for we
know you Republicans are coming
with the Kelley cure in 49,"
