That Telephone Matter.

G. P. Tomilson, late manager O.
telephone service here, has rushed
into print to abuse the REFLECTOR be.
cause we did not know on July Is
that he would on July 20 receive a
job on construction gang in south.
ern Missouri fact which he himself
seems only to have learned by a letter
written at Kansas City July 2S and
presumably reaching Abilene on the
goth, We regret, both for Mr. Tom
ilson'S benefit and for general news
gathering purposes that we were not
born with clairvoyant powers. But
because it was not so ii hardly seems
a serious fault-at least Mr.. Tomilson
shows very poor taste in blaming us
for it as il it would excuse an unsuc-
cessful term as manager here. His
removal was not unexpected as Supt.
McDaniels in the REFLECTOR office
several weeks ago said: "He is too
light weight for the job here. We
shall put him on construction gang
where he will do very WE'LL" 1t is to
be hoped that the new manager will
have better success and il possible
build up the company's business to
its old standard.

Mr.. Hsnry's Unfair Quotation.

To the Editor of the Reflector.
ABILENE, July SO.-In recent let.
ter published in some Of the Abilene
papers from I. c. Henry, he quotes
John Stuart Mill as saying: THAT an
increase Of the quantity Of money
raises prices and diminution lowers
them, is the most elementary propo-
sition in the theory Of currency"
Mr.. Henry failed to quote all that
John Stuart Mill says upon this pro-
position. John Stuart Mill says in
the same paragraph that: 1.-The prop
osition respecting the the dependence
Of general prices upon the quantity Of
money In circulation must be under
stood as applying only to state Of
things in which money, i. .. gold and
silver, Is the exclusive instrument OF
exchange, and actually passes from
hand to hand at every purchase,
credit in any Of its shapes being un-
known"
John Stuart Mill also says that:
"In state Of commerce in which
much credit is habitually given, gen.
eral prices at any moment depend
much more upon the state Of credit
than upon the quantity Of money"
] beg to call the attention Of our
free silver friends to this question.
1t is claimed by them that prices are
low because there Is not sufficient
circulating medium, called money.
II it is true that credit has anything
to do with prices, it is important that
this question should be looked up to
see what extent credit has upon
prices. A FARMER.

that in India they are prepared with

The top notch for one fine shipment

merly considered very low at $3.50 is

in Chicago than ever before at this
season Of the year. Heretofore we
have heard Of 40 cent corn" in the
West; we will probably hear Of 5 cent
corn or 6 cent corn this year. East
'ern Kansas farmers say thai it costs
from IA to 16 cents bushel to raise
corn in that section. In western
Kansas the expense is possibly -
cents. The farmers say that where a
farmer is very economical and does
most of his own work the cost OF corn
can be reduced to IL cents. Thurs
day in Osborne county corn was SELL
ing at ID cents and the best wheat at
.35 cents. The present rate war will
probably mean permanent reduc-
'tion in rates and it ought to.

HERINGTON, July S1-This city has
had its opening free silver meeting.
E. G. Little of Abilene addressed an
audience of about 800 in the opera
house last evening. He spoke one
hour and half. His subject was
free silver and the audience, about
one half Of whom were ladies, listen
ed with the closest attention. He
treated the subject via Egypt, Jerus-
allen, Ireland, Italy, Mexico and the
United States and wound up in the
great wheat fields of Kansas, finally
paying high tribute to tie free sill
yer candidates for the highest office
in the gift Of the American people.
The frequent Interruptions, by asking
questions, of some one in the audi
ence, who was evidently there for the
purpose of showing himself rather
than listening with decent respect to
the speaker, were answered each time
in a manner that brought the APP
plause Of the house. The average
Heringtonite appreciates good be-
havior, even at political meeting,
although the utterances Of the speak
er may not exactly coinside with the
views OF his audience.

Murderer and Bigamist.

ROANOKE, Va, Feb. 3.-Jasper J..
Hale was married on Sunday evening
to Elvina Adams, aged 16 years, and
this morning left the city. Shortly
after he left an elderly woman com
planned to the police that Hale had
been married to her number of years.
She also stated to the police authori.
ties here that he was the murderer of
Thomas G.. Massie, who was cruelty
killed on cold wintry night in De,
cember, 1890, on one of the principal
streets in this city. This murder
has always been mystery to the peo-
pie of this city and now it seems that
a solution of it is near at hand. An
officer was put on Hale's track and he
was overtaken at Radford and arrest
ed just as he was lifting his bride of a
day from the train, she having follow
ed him to that city. He was brought
back to Roanoke on the midnight
train and lodged in Jail.

Golden Resolutions.

How many good resolutions are
broken during these January days!
As the midnight bells ring out the
old and ring in the new year, how
many thousands of penitent inebriates
promise themselves to lead better lives
and for weeks and days thereafter
struggle manfully against the tyrant
that runs riot through their veins
But flesh is weak and alcohol is strong
and as the days 60 by the craving for
drink becomes so great that few of the
struggling thousands can resist 1t,
and, one by one, they fall hopelessly
into the old ways until another mile
stone shall give them pause. To the
weak but willing among us the Kelley
Institute of South Carolina is a god
send. The gold cure is mot gold that
glitters," but it shines like a benedic-
ton in the faces of the iberated-the
free! Make, by all means, your good
resolutions, but back yourself with the
gold to be had only in South Carolina
at the Kelley Institute in this city
