Called a Minister,

Congregational meetings were held
yesterday afternoon by the Presbyter-
ian churches of Cheever and Manches-
ter, Rev. DR.. Blayney acting as mod
orator. Elders were installed at
Cheever and new MEMBERS taken into
the church. Both congregations
united in call for the ordination Of
Rev. George Mckay and he will
doubtless be stationed as regular pas
tor of these churches.

ASSESSMENT VARIATION.
Dickinson County's Schedule Com
pared With Other Counties,

The assessors Of the county have
commenced work in listing up
property for taxation and it difficult
to reach an equable basis for every
body.
One Of the remarkable things about
Kansas legislation is that no effort is
made to readjust the unequal assess
ment laws. 1t is doubtful If any
western state has so unfair method
of assessment as this. Even within
our own county it is bad enough but
when compared with adjoining
counties the inequality is something
remarkable.
Dickinson county will assess real
estate at one fourth value; corn IS
cents, wheat 80 cents.
Personal property in Morris county
about 40 per cent OF actual value.
Corn &c, wheat l5c, land average from
$3.50 to $3.50.
Geary county basis Of one-third
value. Corn &c, wheat l5c.
Wilson county, corn at 10 c, wheat
at 45c.
Ottawa county, land from $1.25 to
$25 per acre, other property at about
% per cent actual value. Corn &c,
wheat 10c.
Rocks county. land from $3.50 to
$3.50. Corn Sc, wheat l5c.
Osborne county at 40 per cent Of
actual cash value Corn 15c. wheat
10 to 35c.
Reno county from one-fourth to
one-third actual value. Corn at 4c
per bushel.
Mcpherson county at 40 per cent
actual value, corn at Be per bushel.
Butler county, one-third actual
value, corn at DC per bushel.
Cowley county, real estate ut 25
per cent, personal property full value,
corn ID to "a cents per bushel.
johnson county 40 to 80 per cent
valuation, 10 cents a bushel on corn.
Here is wide variation which the
state board Of equalization cannot by
any system Of figuring make aquable.
1t is unfair alike to taxpayer and the
communities as whole. Kansas
needs some new assessment laws at
once and needs them badly too.

EARLY TARIFF REVISION.

The annouucems Mt that the ways
and means committee of the house will
begin work at once upon a tariff
bill, so that it may be presented at a
special session of congress, settles the
hitherto open question as to whether
that session will be called. 1t is plain
that upon this point the ways and
means committee has received an
official tip. Another correct inference
of course is that President-elect Nc
Kinley proposes to put the country on
new tariff basis with all possible dis
patch that the good times promised in
his campaign may be fully realized
during his administration.
This news will be received by the
great majority of the American people
with genuine satisfaction. 1t means,
fret of all, that the constant drain upon
the treasury will be stopped, if posi-
BILE, before the need has arisen for an
other issue of bonds. Besides this it
means that the profits of the home
market are to be enjoyed by American
manufacturers and laborers to the COM
InOu doN Vi Oil w hO PI OcpSA "hCh
money is abundant and public wants
can find the means of qualification.
Suffice it to say it will be the undeviat-
ing policy of the president-elect to
bring back the lost prosperity of 1892.
We may say, indeed, that he desires to
improve upon that prosperity by means
OF more scientific and equitable tariff
measure than the one now in force.
It is regrettable, of course, that the
early development of this policy has
deprived able democratic editors of
further chance to say that the repub-
licans mean to drop the tariff, but
this is circumstance which the people
can bear with an equanimity which the
editors would do we'll to emulate.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

THE NEW SENATE.

The control of the next senate Is still
a matter of doubt. In all the doubtful
states, both the republicans and their
opponents are striving for the mastery,
and battle royal will be waged IN
MANY a state legislature during this
coming winter. A republican presl-
dent has been elected by an unprece-
denied majority, and an overwhelming
majority has been returned to support
him in the house. Without the senate,
legislation may be blocked, and 1t re-
mains to be seen whether patriotism
will give place to partizanshlP, or
whether the republican party will fight
the combined forces of democrats,
gold and silver, populists, silverltes,
discounted republicans and all other
istic senators whose spleen has swal-
lowed up their Judgment
One thing is certain; this anti-repuo-
lican crowd will pull no better together
in the senate, than they did In the
campaign. The jealousy displayed
AGAINST the dominant faction, will act
more strongly, when little partizan
success may be promised branch OF
the allied armies. When it comes to
the attitude they shall take toward
republican measures, they are in
quandary, not being satisfied that their
own individual success may not be
better subserved, if the republicans
win, then if some one faction OF the OPP
position should become predominant
gain the ascendency in national affairs
and lead the republic into grave
troubles with their fantastic isms
They are like the boy John in the
story, whom his mother found one day
sitting on the chest of his brother
Charlie, who was lying on the gronuo
gasping for breath. John" said his
mother, "get up off of Charlie; dom
you see you are killing him." well
mother, if get off, he will go swim
ming and get drowned. They will be
glad to choke off their brothers wind
at the start, rather than see them sue
coed to be finally swallowed up in the
vortex of their own absurdities.

The new pass agreement which
goes into effect on January 1st, bind
ing all of the railroads in the West
ern Passenger association, will make
it next to impossible for one to get a
pass.
It is an agreement which meets
every requirement of the interstate
commerce commission and it will
strike into the hearts of all free tran
sportatiOn fends.
The most radical change is, that all
free transportation is taken out of the
hands Of general passenger agents,
general freight agents, general agents
and agents and division uperintendents
and all placed under the control of the
president and vice presidents, general
managers and general superintendents.
The last named officers are the sole
fountain headOf such favOrs. Even if no
other provision of the agreement is
lived up to, this one thing will cat
down passes 80 per cent.
Shippers and shipping agents are cut
off altogether. According to the
agreement they are absolutely barred
from receiving free transportation.
According to the 90 agreement cattle
shipper is entitled to transportation
both going and returning from the
point of shipment. He pays his fare in
the regular way, but takes receipt
for the same and gets refund. TIL S
class has been cut off entirely and loca
agents will have to provide other in
ducements to catch business.
Railroad employees are also cut Off to
Certain extent, no Cmploye b, ing
allowed transportation except on re
quest of the president, vice presid~ Mt,
general manager or general superin-
tendent.
The newspaper agreement remains
the same as it is al present.
