Herington's Election,

The returns from the city of Her
ington are encouraging. The result
Of the election there shows what can
be done by the right kind OF effort
and the Republicans Of that prosper
Gus city ought to be, and no doubt
are, proud Of the outcome. There
was no dilly-dallying with the situa-
ton, no endorsement Of a citizens
movement-just straight Republican
ism. The Republicans put up their
ticket, headed by clean, straight
forward gentleman, A. 5. McAlister,
and went into the campaign to win
over all the allied forces Of the OPP
position. And they did it. That is
the way to win battles. 1t is the
way to strengthen party. Abilene
never had as clean and straightfor-
ward a campaign as when the Repub-
licans held a regular city convention,
nominated straight ticket and
elected it. A mistake was made
VIXEN that organization then made
was allowed to become obsolete. 1t
should have been perpetuated and
brought into the work of every sue
ceeding election. 1t is the way to
win; the way to have strong party,
the way to have good government.

the circumstances, no matter what

in basket with the assets-but it
will do.

The Cawker City Record seems to
be endeavoring to whip somebody
over the REFLEcroR's shoulders, en-
tirely unjustly, for the individuals
attacked were entirely innocent and
indeed unaware of any remarks on
Cawker City's office trust. We still
are convinced that the item showing
the proposed consolidation of offices
in Cawker was humorous and are sor-
ry our friends Of the northwest can't
see the joke.

Caravans from Suakim to Khartoum
travel via Berber not "by flank"
across the desert. The move can't be
made on that chess board.
What information they do offer is
SO belated and metamorphosed as to
be almost unrecognizable. They
speak of the English advisers" to
the Egyptian ministries as being ap-
pointed "of late" as ifjust happening.
Those men have been there for years,
holding those positions. Immediately
after the rebellion Of Arab in 1882
the Financial Adviser was appointed.
Nubar Pasha evolved the mixed
tribunals but he did not "reorganize
the whole administration of Justice"
The mixed tribunals are for foreign
ers and only involve Egyptians in
their controversies with foreigners.
Sir John Scott the Judicial Adviser, is
recognizing the administration Of
justice. Harper's writer offers ample
evidence that he has endeavored to
talk about something he don't know
anything about-just space filler
We have right to expect better
things Of Harper's. The West gets
mighty tired of being lectured and
missionarized by New Workers. who
don't seem to know enough to pound
sand on the Bayudi Desert. They
should either inform themselves con-
corning their subjects or get off the
perch and quit posing at the Rowdy
West as cultured scholars and cos
mopolitans offering crumbs from the
tables OF their knowledge to their in
land neighbors.

Ice and Protection.

A writer Of ponderous witand fatty
degeneration Of the intellect has a
labored piece in the Monitor to the
effect that Abilene ought ~ put pro-
tective tariff on ice this summer in
order to make it cheaper. The argu-
ment is a sarcastic one and aims to
impress upon the readers the lesson
that the ice we have in the ice houses
would be no cheaper II outside ice
were Disseminated against. 1t is not
at this time apparent that anybody
has said it would or has made any
such argument for the protective tar
III principle.
But take an example; Suppose Abb
ilene used 100, 900 tons Of Ice a year
and employed for example 800 men
putting it up, paying 81 q day, ice
selling ior cent pound. At Salina
men could be hired for 81 day to
put up ice and 1t could be shipped to
Abilene and sold at one-hali cent
pound. With no discrimination In
favor Of Abilene's employees Salina
would furnish our Ice; 500 men
would be Idle here or move away.
Having no ice Of our own Salina would
enjoy monopoly and raise the price
to one cent a pound. The profit
would 90 elsewhere. But put tariff
OF one-half cent pound on Salina ice
and our own men would flourish. The
laborer's wage would be paid out to
Abilene merchants and the consumer
would probably get his Ice as cheap as
from Salina. At the most he would
be paying but trihe compared with
the advantages to accrue to him in
directly through the prosperity OF
home industries and home institutions
That is all there is to protection
and 1t works in large as well as in
small things. The financial difficult
ties o! this nation since it went back
to the low tariff schedule Of the Dem
ocratic congress and in every period
OF Its history when it has been under
low tariff laws ought to be evidence
enough to anyone that protection to
American industries Is the right
principle for the United States.
The coming election will demonstrate
what the people at large think Of 1t.
Unless every sign is misleading there
will be an overwhelming verdict in
favor of protection. 1t is not mat
ter of doctrine, Of faith or Of spiritual
manifestations is purely and sim
ply matter of business. 1t is good
business policy to have protection to
American industries and it ought not
to take anyone long to comprehend
it-that is, anyone except Populist;
he won't try.
