"Sir Knight" Stevenson.

Writing to Charley Lands, editor
Of The Osborne County Farmer, Rev.
R. P. West, a minister of Concordia,
says:
II was asked the other day how |
knew that Adlai Stevenson was a cop.
perhead or a Knight Of the Golden
Circle. My reply was this l lived
almost in his neighborhood and knew
he was. While | was member Of
the Union League, Stevenson was
president Of the Knights Of the Gold
en- Circle at Bloomington, Mclean
county, ILL.,, and it was there we sent
Comrade Ball, who joined the Knights
and drilled with them and got all
their grips and passwords, and then
came home and disclosed the whole
thing under solemn oath at mid
night in the spring Of 1868. ! will
tell you some OF the instructions
given by the leaders who were sent
north to organize that cowardly set
Of cutthroats and assassns. After
declaring that Lincoln, the tyrant,
had no constitutional power to send
the mudsills Of the North to coerce
our brethren Of the South, then came
in the pledge, etc., and then the in
etructions that said that il anybody
found it''convenient to enlist and get
the $500 bounty, to do SO, but desert
from the army at the very first OPP
Portunity. But il no opportunity to
desert appeared till they were drawn
up in battle, then they were to offer
the signs furnished them and their
Southern brethren would recognize
them and would not shoot them. II
write these lines for the benefit OF the
boys and girls who never saw a cop
perhead when they were calling our
president 'shamble-
shanked baboon. But now they are
nearly all saying, i am an Abraham

1t will be remembered that year
ago, the power was given Governor
Stanley to appoint some girl who
would be given her tuition free in a
New York art school. Every section
pointed to some girl with a Career,
but no money to achieve it; every
section begged the governor to make
no mistake, and lose to the world a
famous artist, by appointing the
wrong girl. After number Of
prayerful nights, he made Miss Lillian
Dyer, Of Abilene, the fortunate girl
with career. She was engaged in
the study Of art in New York just
three months when she became en-
gagged, and she was married Wednes.

The Workingman's Deposits.

To the Editor OF the Reflector.
BoNACCoRD, Oct. SIN his speech
a few nights ago an Abilene Fusion
list quoted from the REFLECTOR a
statement that the savings banks
have on deposit $2,230,S66, 900 and
then quoted official statements show
ing that the money in circulation in
the country is only $2,O62.425,496.
What are you going to do about itP
POPULIsT.
We are going to forward to the Abb
ilene Fusionist a free scholarship in
the first kindergarten that starts up
in this section of.the west. A man
who pretends to instruct the people
yet thinks that the credits OF bank
depositors is measured by the amount
OF money in circulation is scarcely
amenable to argument. The savings
deposits given above were those on
July /, 1899; on that date the money
in circulation was $l,904, O71,S S1, in
creasing TO $2,O62, 425,496 on July l,
1900. Anybody familiar with the
first principles Of business knows that
banks do not keep their deposits in
the safe-most states require them
to keep only about 80 per cent. The
three banks Of Abilene had on Sept.
4 $490,276 on deposits; yet they had
cash only 1921 1884. Forum the bank,
pay returns on the capital invested
etc. the remainder is loaned out again
among the people.
This is very late age Of the world
to attempt enlightenment on such
so self.evident is it to
every well informed man. We hope
the kindergarten will soon begin.

election in 1896 five Populists entered

paign has worked his way east from
the Pacific slope as far as Kansas. He
Is still bent on having fun with Bry-
an, in bis quiet, demure, specialized
way.
Mr.. Towne was at Abilene last
Monday evening, and there he under
took to explain to the Kansas farmers
Of the central belt why shey are now
plutocrats instead Of Popocrats, lend
ers instead Of borrowers, realty owners
instead Of mortgagors dreading fore
closure. With a twinkle in his eyes
the principal humorist laid down
two propositions about what he called
"this prosperity BUSINESS
81 want to lay down two PROPOSE
tions about this prosperity business:
"First, there isn't half as much
prosperity as the Republicans claim;
and,
Second, what prosperity we have
came in spite OF the Republican par
ty. II the Republican party had had
Its way we would have had no pros
perity."
Considered as serious campaign
argument this is a trihe misty, but
when the humorous intention is
understood it is perfectly clear. Mr..
Towne merely wanted to remind the
ex.Popocrats Of Kansas in as delicate
ly ironical manner as possible that
alost exactly four years ago the great
upsetter Of values, the Hon. William
j. Bryan himself, had notified them
that he, and not William Mckinley,
was the true advance agent Of pros
perity; and Mr.. Bryan recorded at
that time this distinct prophecy and
warning;
III Mckinley and the Republican
party are successful and put in power
for the next four years, wages will
be decreased, hard times will come
upon us, mortgages on our homes
will be foreclosed by the money lend.
ers; shops and factories will close.
We will export no goods, and we will
import from foreign lands all the
goods we use, Thus will ruin, want
and misery be with u.s."
The Hon. Charles A. Towne did not
have the cruelty to quote the exact
words Of Bryan's prophecy and warn
ing to the former Popocrats Of Kan
sas, his soul is too gentle and his
methods as a humorist too refined
for that. He merely recalled in an
indirect way those dire prognostica-
tons Of the candidate Of 1896 by
bringing up "this prosperity bust
ness" and propounding the two face.
tious propositions exhibited above,
namely:
First, there isn't really half as
much prosperity as you think there
is.
Secondly, there wouldn't have been
any prosperity at all II the admins.
tration and the Republican majority
in congress could have helped it.
We regard this as the masterpiece
Of the Hon. Charles A. Towne's SUBJ
tie humor; and If it was properly ap-
preciated grin must have stretched
itself across the golden fields Of CEN
