basket, a handsome set OF knives and
forks, several pairs OF tablespoons, a
lovely berry spoon and a gold butter

full amount of school money required by
law-not less than so cents annually for
each inhabitant-and Superintendent W.

towns. He states that the Governor and
Council are authorized to direct the
State Treasurer to Withhold from delin-

mill tax until the law is compiled with.
The school department will defer re-
porting this delinquency until after the
next annual meeting when, if the defic-
iency is made good, no report will be
made The amount of the deficiency in

Argument Va. Abuse.

The Abilene REFLECTOR IL one OF the old
fashioned kind Of papers that still deems II
necessary to produce arguments to refute
the foolish claims Of the Popullsts.- Law
renee Journal
The day has long ago passed, if in
deed it ever existed, when it was not
the best course to use arguments. ="
The REFLECTOR has never been one of
those papers which believed that it
was either just or polite to fight
Populism with abuse, The rank and
file Of the Peoples Party joined that
organization honestly, believing that
1t would give them better things than
under the rule Of other parties.
That most of the leaders of the
party were consummate rogues and
rascals did not change their faith in
the so-called principles Of the party.
1t has dawned on many Of them and
will eventually come to all that there
Is not and never was any sense in the
platforms concocted by the schemers
at the head of the party, that no re-
form was ever intended nor was there
any pretense of carrying out refor m
when the party was in power in
Kansas. Instead there was inaugur-
ated the most corrupt, treasury-loot-
ing reign Of incompetent and dishon-
est schemers any state ever saw.
This is being realized. 1t is strong
argument against Populism-but
there are Others. The presentation
OF these arguments is the best
thing the Republican press can do in
this year of grace, 1896. 1t will beat
abuse many times over.

McKinleY's Financial Views.

The Ohio Republican platform, it il
said, was written by Mr.. Mckinley
Its financial plank is as follows:
The Republican party stands for
fiscal policy opposed to debts and de
ficits in time Of peace and favors tn,
return of the government to a debt
paying policy and opposes the contin
uance Of the debt-making policy. Il
is too plain for argument that tn,
public credit and commercial interests
OF the country require the revenues
OF the government to be amply sufli
cient for the public expenditures at
all timeswithout danger of deficit, anc
to that end congress should without
delay make the provision. We con,
tend for honest money; for a currency
Of gold, silver and paper with which
to measure our exchange, that shall
be as sound as the government and
as untarnished as its honor; and tc
that end we favor bimetalism and de.
mand the use of both gold and silver
as standard money, either in accord
ance with a ratio to be fixed by an in
ternational agreement, if that can be
obtained, or under such restrictions
and such provisions to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the
maintenance Of the PARTIES of the
values OF the two metals, so that the
purchasing and debt-paying power of
the dollar, whether of silver, gold or
paper, shall be at all times equal.

Gaines Grows Abusive.

Editor Gaines taxes considerable
space in the Monitor TO abuse this
paper because Of its telling the truth
about his county printing deal in
Saline county where he engineered a
Pop gcrrymander and got every
particle Of county printing at 100 per
cent. We find no fault with the Pop
commissioners Of Saline county in
recognizing the leading Pop paper
and giving it the printing at a good
living rate. 1t Is one Of the good
points about Populists every where
that they stand by their party paper
in the way Of patronage and never do
any "dividing up" or dickering. In
that way they build up a strong
party paper and help their cause. In
the 80 or 40 counties in Kansas in
which Populists control the board Of
commissioners the Populist papers
always get the printing at full legal
rates without question. This is the
way to DO and the Republican boards
Of the State make a mistake in grind
ing down prices below legal rates and
in "diyiding up" the work among a
number of papers.
What we do object to is Mr.. Gaines
in Salina receiving 100 per cent and
then writing editorials in his Abilene
paper abusing the board here for let
ting the printing at 40 per cent and
100 for tax list and bowling about the
'interests Of the taxpayers" Bless
your soul, Gaines, do you take the
people Of Dickinson county for con-
summate foolsp DO you think that
they are not ION to" you and your
Abilene Monitor-Sallna Union racket
Just because they were on to you the
feeble old patent insido Monitor was
not considered as being worthy Of re-
ceiving any official recognition. Mr..
Gaines is fooling nobody by his false
hoods about Dickinson county.
