DR.. Brooks on "'The Church and
Labor"

From the Kansas City Times.
At yesterdays meeting of the
ministers alliance DIR. John A.
Brooks of the independence Az
enue Christian church and the late
nominee for vice president on the
prohibition ticket read a paper en-
titled "The Relation of the Church
es to the Labor Question" Among
other things DR.. Brooks said that
some were of the opinion that
moral questions should be divorced
from politics. He did not believe
it. Legislators had done little or
nothing to solve that problem.
Should we remain idle? Who was
a better political economist than a
faithful Christian? The churches
were largely to blame, he said, and
the problem would never be solved
unless they came to the rescue. 1t
had been said, and truly said, that it
was impracticable in this country
to take up the labor question, be-
cause existing political parties
were SO permeated by those great
selfish monopolies as to ef1ectual-
ly handicap them. \ new party
should be founded upon justice aud
seeking the good of humanity. 1t
need not be necessarily the pro-
hibition party, but any party that
WAS better than that and which
would accomplish the objects in

The Crittenden Pension Case.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Jan. IA
The board of pension examiners at
Kansas City, to whom vas referred
for examination the claim Of Hon.
7. T. Crittenden for a pension on
the score of total disability, have
submitted their report to the pen
sion bureau. 1t is very evident
that the board do not consider Mr..
Crittenden totally disabled. If
Mr.. Crittenden's plea for Il pension
was allowed as he made it, he
would be entitled to about $50
a month. Under the rating of
the Kansas City pension ex-
aminers he should be entitled to
81 per month. The Pension Bu-
reau has not yet taken action in the
matter, but Missourians here are
still ofthe opinion that the ex-Gov-
ernor will have to try to continue to
make his living without the assist
ance of the bounty of the United
States.

AN STATE.
California Now in Her Glory, But
Her Summers are More
Than Desolate.

John H. Hayden has returned
from California, after an absence of
six months. Mr.. Hayden returns
immensely satisfied with Missouri
and he will remain here.
Many a nan makes amistake,"
says Mr.. Hayden, ''by going to
California at this season. Just now
the Golden State is in her glory.
The whole country is q mass of
green, yellow oranges hang from
the limbs and all nature is at her
best. Barley and other grain are
knee high out there Just now and
the result of all this is more than
illusory to the tenderfoot. \ man
from the East comes to that coun-
try now and finds all nature ar
rayed in summer garb, and of
course he is smitten with what he
sees. 1t doesn't take a land shark
long to find the man from the
States and when he finds HIM he
pours into his ears such a torrent
OF Wordy glory that the poor ten
derfoot Immediately invests his all
IN town real estate. The land
shark leaves him then and the
Eastern man settles down and be-
gins to write long letters to his
friends back III the States, telling
them The oft-told story of his new
home, and thus the State is adver-
fused. But when summer begins,
nothing more is heard Of the %feiici-
tous correspondent. He doesn't
write anything about the dry earth
and the parched vegetation; he
says nothing ABOUT the desolate
appearance of the country, and the
fact that all Southern California
presents a worse appearance IN
June than does Minnesota in Janu-
airy Is never mentioned. California
surely has a grand winter climate,
but In summer it is Il failure.
Property in Los Angeles has
deprecated in value" continued
Mr. Hayden. Zone year ago rents
were over one hundred per cent.
higher than they are to-day. As
an instance | think of the case of
DIR. }. 5. Baker, who formerly
lived here. The doctor is now
renting house for So per month.
that one year ago brought its owner
$50.
"We we're badly disappointed at
the result OF the election" said
Dir. Hayden, in conclusion. cali
fornia Democrats were sure Of
Cleveland's success and it was a
great blow to us. l made several
speeches in the cause of Democ-
racy during the campaign. Will

XAVIER Is "SQUARE."
He Does the Honorable Act and
Pays Dollar for Dollar in
Mexico.

Francois Xavier left Mexico be-
tween the setting of one sun and
the rising of another, leaving moth
ing behind but a promise to pay
all he owed in Mexico. BARRIERS,
hotel men and stationers with one
accord transferred the handsome
actors name to a page in their
books headed "Delinquent." They
sighed as they made the transfer,
for only the names of men whose
pay is extremely doubtful find their
way to that page.
Nearly SIX months have passed
since Mr.. Navier's disappearance
from this city and even his memory
is now rapidly fading from the
minds of the people. But whatever
can be said of the actors method
Of leaving Mexico-whatever can
be said of him as a man, it may be
asserted that Navier is "sguare."
This assertion is made from the
fact that a check was received Sat
urday by a gentleman CT this city,
for an amount covering all indebt-
edness in Mexico. Twenty-Five
dollars of the amount went to pay
a cash loan, while the Windsor,
Lazear's tonserial parlors and Car
ter, the %stationer, came in for their
share. The actor is now plying
his profession in Indiana.
McMurry-Hite.
The wedding of Miss Carrie Hite
and Mr.. W. f. McMurry, at the
Promenade Street NJ. E. Church,
South, Wednesday, was M of
the prettiest ever seen in Mexico.
The bridal party, consisting ofthe
four ushers and the bride and
groom, entered the church and
walked down the aisle to the
music of the beautiful Lohengrin
wedding march. Rev. DR.. Miller
performed the ceremony impress
lively and the wedding party re-
tired while Prof. Treloar played
the wedding march Of Mendel-
ssohn. The church was beautifully
decorated for the occasion with
plants and flowers. The bride was
handsomely attired i'll a stylish,
neat fitting travelling suit ofgobelin
blue tailor made broadcloth, with
diamond ornaments, the present of
the groom.
An elegant wedding breakfast
was served at 10 a. m. and at
o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. McMurry left
over the Alton for Paris, Texas,
their future home. The bride is
the popular daughter OF Mr. and
Mrs. B. S. Hite, this city, and
the groomis a young man of fine
business qualifications, connected
with the firm of Settle, Richie &

HE GETS
Billy Hooton Gets Funny and
Jokes About his Failure.

| arrived here in a parachute
BILLY HooToS.
We found the above remarkable
letter in our mail to-day, and to
put a charitable construction on it
we think the writer must be crazy.
fIooton failed a few days since and
appears. from the above, to think
it very funny. The letter was
written in Mexico, although the
writer locates himself in Canada,
where, we should judge, he thinks
he ought to be and could find con
genial company. As far as the
S325 he OWES us goes, it amounts
to nothing, and when we heard
,, of the severe threshing John Pol
lard gave the young ''gent!eman''
We felt we'll paid for our loss-in
fact, we never expected to get our
money when the work was done.
Now, Hooton may feel very funny,
but we presume the business men
ne has beaten out of hundreds OF
dollars feel directly the opposite.
He has been very funny all
along. A young man who borrows
money and buys goods OF credit,
sells all he can, pays nothing,
makes an assignment and even
buys goods after he has assigned,
may be funny in Canada, but
the getting to Canada without leav-
ing his hide hanging from some
clothes line as a warning may be
the difference between what is
funny" and what is just. Mr..
Hooton had best sing. very low OF
go to Canada, as we have heard
of at least half a score of business
men who are looking for that por-
ton of his hide not taken by Mr..
Pollard, which does not appear to
be enough to cover even his prin-
ciple, which, We guess, would rat
tie around in his own skull just as
a mustard seed would in the bed OF
the Atlantic ocean. In the language
OF Joe McCullagh, Hooton appears
to have''gone from the swim to the
soup, from the soup to the ehowder
and from the chowder to the dish
water"

Mr.. Astwood, our Consul at San
Domingo, is justly cersurable if he
proposed to the Dominican Gov
eminent to lend the bones of
Christopher Columbus for exhibit
ton in this country. He is also
foolish, for the Dominican Govern
ment hasn't the bones to lend. 1t
is doubtful, moreover, if the exhi-
bltion of Christopher's bones at
this time would pay. There is a
suspicion ahoat for which Marie
Brown is largely responsible, that
Christopher was a fraud, and that,
instead of sailing out ''into the
great unknown" he vas following
in the track of Thor Finn a,d Left
Erickson, of whose voyages he had
read. On the whole, perhaps, it
would be wiser to let Christopher's
bones rest in peace, wherever they
NAV be.

service and take a vote on Elder
Davis resignation. Elder Davis
rendered his resignation to take
effect Dec. LIST. His resignation
was finally accepted after a great
deal of talk for and against. In
the evening Elder Davis asked that
the action of the morning be recon-
sidered and he be released a month
earlier as it would suit him much
better. This was put to a vote and
was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Davis has not yet decided
where he will cast his lot after leav-

for he is an able minister, q thor
