the Atlanta Constitution to task for

better twenty years ago than now,

purchasing power Of those earnings.

RATIoNS FOR THE ARMY.
Gen. Otis Forwards the Report of the

Washington, June 5.-The war de-
partment has received the following
cablegram:
Manila, June 2.-Adjutant General Washing
ton: Under war department directions, May g.
approved report of board on proper components
of ration. 1t recommends no change in field and
travel ration, but modified garrison ration as
follows Issue fresh beef eight and bacon

beef II desired; reduction ration fresh

lied increased for use with oatmeal or dried
fruit; no savings vinegar reduced one half,
pickles substituted, no other notifications, full
report mailed--Otis.
1t is matter of congratulation to
the department that there is no radi-
cal change recommended, the opinion
having been all along that the present
ration, which is the result of 100 years
experience and experiment, is the
most scientific and satisfactory that
could be obtained. Other reports on

THE SCHEME DID NOT WORK.
Two Fourth Glass Postmasters Who Were
Working for an Increase In Salaries
are Removed from ONCE.

Washington, June 5.-The National
League of Fourth-Class Postmasters
has been nipped in the bud. Capt.
William II. Thomas, postmaster
AT La Grange, Mo-, and Sam
uel P. Ivans, Jr., postmaster
at Prigmore, Tenn, have lost their
heads in the nipping. Capt. Thomas
was president of the league and lvans
was perniciously active in its work.
The only object of the league
was to secure an increase in sal
airy for the underpaid fourth-class-
ers, but the leaguers went about
attaining their ends in a manner that
was not only repugnant to the admin
istration, but a violation Of the regu-
lations of the post office department
Capt. Thomas is in town now to impor-
tune the president to reinstate him.
Since he was dismissed the other day
La Grange has been raised to third
class or presidential Office, which
makes the deposed postmaster all the
more disguised.

REFUSED TO PAY ALIMONY.
Would Not Obey the Cburt's Order
In n Divorce Case.

Chicago, June 3.-Because he cannot,
or at least will not, plank down good
ly sum in the way of alimony, one of
Chicagos most prominent ministers is
prisoner in the Cook county Jail. His
wife has applied for divorce, and in
the meantime the preacher was man
dated by the court to contribute to her
support until the question of legal
separation was finally decided upon.
Surrounded in imagination by the
spirits of Paul, Joseph, John
the Baptist and other saints OF
Bible times who were incar-
cerated for the truths sake, Rev.
Flavius J. Brobst is gathering a fund
of experience in the county Jail, which,
he declares, will fit him for nobler and
greater work in the redemption of his
fellow men. When he again stands
before the court he will say that
it is as impossible for him to pay
alimony to the woman who has de-
stroyed his fondest dream in life as
it would be for him to leap to the moon.
If he is defeated in his endeavor for
liberty he will go back to his narrow
cell sustained by the conscious inno-
cence of any wrong and firm in the
conviction that his trouble is ordered
by an all-wise providence for the ulti'
mate good that it will accomplish.

Trust a. an Issue.

The News is certain in its own

sue in 1900 and seems to have Tor
gotten its one.time worship OF the

be the outcome. The Democratic
party is harder pressed for an issue
Just now than 1t ever has been since
slavery was abolished. 1t is COM
mitted to two issues, which Its most
sagacious leaders see will turn hum

It. These are silver and territorial
isolation. A howl against trusts

But whether the question Of trusts

the Republican party will not be a.
fected. That party has been an
enemy to the trusts in their harmful
phase ever since trusts first made
their appearance. The Republican
utterance OF 1888 was more pro-
nounced and sincere on that issue
than was the Democratic deliverance,
and the Republicans showed their
courage and their honesty by the en-

A Just Judge.

Lawrenc Journal: The Republic
cans Of the Eighth judicial district
yesterday renominated Judge 0. L.
Moore. The district is made up Of
Dickinson, Geary, Marion and Morris.
When Judge Moore was first nomi-
mated, the Journal predicted for him
a successful and honorable judicial
career. 1t is gratifying to his friends
to know that he has more than fulfill
ed their highest hopes for him, and
that he stands already among the
foremost jurists Of Kansas. He is to
the ermine born, Judge by nature
and by training. A just man, with
the milk Of human kindness in suflici-
ent quantity to cause him to temper
justice with mercy, and one who can
and does retain the respect Of every
man who has business 10 his court.
May the time soon come when every
judicial bench Of this country is oc.
cupied by man as true, as able and
as upright as Judge Moore.

ABILENE WEEKLY REFLECTOR ABILENE KANSAS JUNE 89aWE PAGES.

A very funny thing happened at
Mcpherson Decoration Day. The
speaker started to say bis piece when
the entire audience got up and left
him before he had opened his mouth
The people afterwards excused them
selves by saying that the parade was
very interesting. The Mcpherson
Republican in rebuking the people
says: at is not far from . crying
disgrace for town to invite speak
or from abroad, and at the very
moment he begins to speak to rise
and depart. 1t is still nearer q d.
rect insult. The excuse that one is
only interested in the home part OF
the program is worse than pretext
and only speaks for selfsbness and i'll
manners. 1t is but common decency
to remain and act like ladies and gen.
tlemsn, and 1t Is but fair to those
who arranged the entertainment to
sit out uninteresting parts OF the
program when so much pleasure was
given to the other members-and all
without cost. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that this will not be allowed to
become habit and that the unthink.
ing ones will in the future be more
careful" An Abilene orator once
had that trick played on him in east
ern Kansas and he hasn't made a
speech anywhere since.
