EDITOR VOICE: l see in last weeks
VOICE that Senator FOrney has intro.
duced bill in the Senate for the Dur.
pose Of creating the Office of county
assessor. | think the senator has
made a mistake to saddle another
county officer onto the already tax.
burdened people when there is not any
more necessity for it than there is fol
two tails to dog. 1t won't strength.
en- the Peoples party any in the con.
ldence OF the people. Just why the
township trustees could do a more uni.
form job of assessing these townships
as deputies to a county assessor. than
they can now, is a great mystery. And
why a county assessor could more &C.
curately equalize the assessment of a
county than the board of county com.
missiOners, who are equally chosen
from different parts Of the county, is
beyond my comprehension.
Our laws in regard to taxation
should be revised to some extent. but
it is unnecessary to use a sledgeham-
mer to kill water cat. A law com.
polling counties to assess property at
a uniform rate throughout the state
is all that is required.

A poor fellow in New York City
Monday Of last week grabbed a pocket
book from lady on the street and
ran. He was captured and lmmedl-
ately swallowed a dose Of prussic acid
and died in five minutes. On his
person was found a pathetic letter to
his starving wife and mother at home,
saying that he was unable to struggle
longer, that he could not get work and
that he could not 60 home and face
them again without something. With
In the shadow Of this poor fellows
lodgings land he is only a type Of
thousands Of his kind costly temples
Of worship rear their spires, high

pei Of the poor, to elegantly attired

Jesus, amidst gorgeous display. Oh,
Christianity, what wondrous sins are
committed in thy name!

viii Republicans Ever Catch Up With the
Procession?

Governor Morrell in his message
recommends state uniformity of
school textbooks, measure endorsed
by the county and state platforms of
the Union Labor party in 1888 and
ever since advocated by the Peoples
party.
He also favOrs reduction Of fees
aud salaries Of officials, another Popu-
list measure and one opposed by Re-
publicans whose theory is "tO the
victOrS belong the SpOils and the more
the better"
He calls the legislatures attention
to the fact that there is no law to

Mrs. Althea B. Stryker made SEN

ing and cOndemning the Ministerial
Union for its quasi-endOrSment of the
fashionable Topeka Club. She was
depressed and denounced, and on Mon
day night her friends hired Hamilton
hall and gave her an opportunity to
speak her sentiments. Rev. Jerry
Botkinpresided. Mrs. Stryker spoke
eloquently and pOiutedly upon the diff
ference between churchianity and
christianity. OF the crowd, the To-
peka Journal said
"a half hour btfOre the time Mrs
Briggs Stryker began to speak, not
only was every chair in the audltori-
um taken. but people were standing
in the aisleS and were packed like eli
garS in box, around the doors. Seats
on top of the partitions to the cloak
rooms were at a premium. So great
was the jam that there was great
danger that the weaker ones would be
injured, and twice was the speaker
interrupted by gentlemen on the plat
form who pleaded to those who could
MT get in to go away. Mrs. Striker
spoke for an hour and half and the
crowd staid by her."

John Shermdn'S Career.

There has not been a more vigorous
series of political articles published
since the famous Arthur Richmond
letters than the series which opens in
the February Arena with an open let
ter to Senator John Sherman. The
first paper takes up the different po-
sitiOns Mr.. Sherman has occupied on
great public questions, notably those
of resumption and contraction of the
currency and the income tax. The
quotations from the records contain
ing the Senator's very various and
conflicting views and the deductions
Of tie writer make very lively politi.
cal reading. As the author says, at
is impossible for prominent man who
has played a great part in the affairs
of great nation to escape history"

than the one already formed. The
point was well taken, however. so
far as its apparent effect upon at
least two members of the board was
concerned.
If the great circulation Of the com.
bine influenced the boardt to give the
legal advertising to the syndicate,
what motive was it that influenced
them 10 throw the hide in with the
tallow, and send the stationery, blank
work and ticket printing the same
route, at a higher rate than was Of.
tered by two Of the other bidders.
Surely the circulation OF those
papers could have nothing to do with
the acceptability Of a bid on job
printing when that class Of work is
not printed in the paper. Still the
board ordered that the bids be put
in separately to afford an opportunity
for the carrying out Of their wonder
fully economical ideas.
The case summed up is this: The
commissioners after encouraging and
soliciting bids on the printing, ig-
nored the lowest and most econom.
ical bids and let the contract to the
highest bidder.
They required that the bid on ad-
vertising and the bid on job printing
be put in separately, that the lowest
and best service might be secured
for TIE county, and when the Moni.
tor-Press, with the best equipped
Office in the county and the best Job
printer in the county at the head OF
that department, put IN the lowest
bid made, its bid was cast aside and
the bid ofthe combine accepted at
the tnlrd nlgneSt DID made.
BY this action CT the commits
sioners something like $1,000 was
taken out OF the pockets of the tax
payers Of the county and donated to
the three Republican papers in the
combine. But greater to the detri-
meat Of the people than even the loss
Of the 1000 that was misappropri.
ated, is the precedent that has been
set and the encouragement that has
been offered for the perpetuation of
such a combine by the substantial
aid given.
Will the people endorse such a
course, is the question: We venture
the prediction that they will not.
