MISSOURI RAILROADS.

Assessment Showing increase OF H.
100000 in Value.
JEFFERsoN CITY, Mo-. July AFTER
hearing the representatives OF all the rail-
roads and such other persons as were i'm
terested in the valuation and assessment
Of railroad property as well as the repre-
sentatives of bridge and telegraph COM
panies, the State Board of Equalization
has passed finally upon the valuations.
The assessment shows an increase Of
nearly $500, 600. The total railroad.
bridge and telegraph assessment for 1850
is $55, ,657 27s. 10 and the total in 1888 was
$51, ,271, 3& There il . reduction ON the
bridge assessment this year Of $450, 900, by
reason Of q recent decision of the Supreme
Court that the Kansas City bridge was
part Of the superstructure Of the Han.
nibal & St. Joseph Railroad Company,
and had heretofore been valued as separate
bridge property and assessed. at $500 600,
the court holding that only the highway
feature OF the bridge is assessable by the
State Board. The valuation OF the bridge
WAS fixed at $50. 000 thus accounting for
the reduction OF $50 900. The assessment
does not include the entire value Of rail.
road property, az machine shops. round.
houses and warehouses are assessed 10.
cally by county assessors and do not ap.
pear upon the assessment herein reported.
1t will be interesting to the taxpayers
Of Missouri to note the comparison OF the
railroad assessments In this State with
those of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Me-
braska. In this State last year the aver.
age valuation per mile for taxable pur-
poses was 50. 400 20 per mile; in Illinois,
7,s49. Is; in Kansas, S6,356.23; in Nebraska,
S. S2S "a; in Iowa, s., 19S. Missouri will
be slightly higher in her average this
year.

Coles Confession.

Speaker Cole, Of the New York
Assembly, In making personal explana.
tion that was called out by the fact that
the ceiling investigation committee
had examined his bank account at
his home in the town OF Watkins, made
the notable statement that he had been
supplied with large sum OF money by
the Republican state committee, for use
at the elections last fall. He said that
about the lst Of November the state
committee, 10 its kindness, In its gener-
osity, realizing the fact, presume, that
Iwas in the native county of Governor
Hill, that we have large vote that is
questionable, sent quite a large amount
OF money into that county. OF course,
my friends, perhaps that was not a wise
thing. Perhaps it was not wise thing
Tor me to be the receiver Of that money!
Mr.. Coles political friends will be apt
osay that his lack of wi;dom was not in
receiving and expending the money, but
In confessing that he had received it.
But MIR. Cole was in trouble. His integrity
Was attacked. The committee had found
these big deposits in his bank accounts,
and, he had to tell where the money came
from. "It came from Republicans high
up In Official life" he said again; ard 1t
was spent for the cause. We have the
testimony bers Of what everyone has
believtd, that the New York state dis.
er!cts were flooded with the Quay, Wana.
mscker manufacturers money that bought
the election.

Young Preachers.

The demand for young preachers that
II said 10 exist in the Methodist church
u one Of the most singular religious signs
Of these particularly restless times. The
priests and prophets, and the solemn
teachers Of religion in all ages, are usually
represented and idealized as grave old
men, with long grey boards, given to deep
thought upon world beyond the grave,
TO the verge Of which time had brought
them. Tho reverence due to their old
age and presumed wisdom OF experience
lent weight to the warnings they might
give, and the force Of their example Of
holy living was emphasized by the evil
dence that they had lived long enough
70 know the best. But the ideal modern
preacher seems to be a bright, quick
young man, with taste for athletics,
and In full and hearty sympathy with the
young people. AT the recent confer.
ence In this city the bishop frankly
stated that there was an embarrassing
demand for young preachers. The rea-
eon may be that young men are less likely
TO bury themselves in their studies ard
feel . closer sympathy and fellowship
with their people, while many of the
older. more learned and eloquent dlvines
are only known to their congregations
through their formal addresses on Sun
days. BY direct social intercourse
pastor can achieve many things that are
impossible from the pulpit; he has q
chance 70 meet arguments, make sug.
gestions, and TO learn the mental traits
OF bis subjects in a way that should
greatly increase the efficiency of his Sun.
day operations upon them. The founder
OF our religion seems to have given most
OF his instruction In this way, and he
was q comparatively young man. OF
course the mere fact OF youth and en-
thusiasm is pleasing, but something more
- needed to explain this novel usurpation
BY the young Of work that has for ages
seemed to belong to the old, and the
secret appears to lie In some error of the
modern systems.

sinking fund b certainly wise, and the
appropriation might advantaseously be
abolished altogether, in view of the
fact that the state cannot now
redeem its Indebtedness or purchase IL 10
- to save two per cent. interest. The
money Is worth more than this 10 the
people and should not be collected from
them In order to lie Idle In the treasury,
or to be invested In the state or United
States bonds ct high premiums.
When tho state debt falls due the state
can readily borrow the money to pay 1t, at
low rate and for short time. In fact
no creditor will ask for repay yment, and
the state will have no difficulty in paying
the debt at Its pleasure. The sinking
fund should be abolished IL 1t can be law
fully done.
It only affords an excuse for the keep.
Ing OF immense sums Of idle money In the
treasury to be loaned to the banks for the
private profit Of the state treasurer. 1.-THE
Legislature desires the treasury to be

some legislation similar TO that by which
the United States gets its surplus money
into use, without giving IL 10 its treas.
urer to speculate with. The conduct OF
the treasury Of this state has been It's
shame for many years and 1t Is time that
