MIR. Brookwalter's Views.

s'The trend of the Legislative
policy of this country for q good
many years past said Hon. J. w.
Bookwalters, of Springfield, o., at
the Riggs house, "has tended to pro-
duce concentration of wealth rather
than it's diffusion. Everything has
gone from the circumference to the
center. There has been congestion
of money in favored localities; the
few have waxed inordinately rich,
and the many have suffered for the
necessities of life. 1t seems to me
that the policies of the now dominant
party, if carried out, will utterly fail
to ameliorate existing conditions.
The perpetuation of the single gold
standard and a high protective tariff
are not the agents of prosperity, and
| am firmly convinced that evils the
nation has been enduring will con-
tinue until silver is put on the same
basis as gold and the people are free
of the fetters of protection. Every
method by which wealth can be dis
tributed instead of concentrated
should engage the attention of our
national legislators. Government
bonds of small denomination should
be issued so that the masses could in
vest their savings as they do in
France, thereby promoting thrift
among all classes and checking the
flood of capital to the money centers.
No nation is in a position to be envied
50 long as few large cities possess
almost monopoly of that govern
mant' currency. Washington Post.

THEY FAVOR ARBITRATION.
METHODIST MINISTER'S PIT THEM
SELVES ON RECORD.
Adopted Strong Resolutions at Their
Weekly Meeting Yesterday Morn
ing at the Grand Avenue
VI. L. Church.

At the weekly meeting of the Methodist
ministers of the two Kansas Citys held
yesterday morning at the Grand Avenue
NJ E church the following memorial 20
the United States senators from Missouri
and Kansas favoring the arbitration treaty
now under discussion in the United States
senate was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, There is now pending in the
United States senate at Washington a
treaty providing for five years arbitra-
ton of all disputes between the govern
ments of the United States and of Great
Britain known as the Olney-Pauncefote
treaty: and,
Whereas, We believe that an early rati-
fication of said treaty will not only tend
to maintain peace between these two ma
tions, but be an example which other nl-
tions now laboring under the heavy in
cubus of costly standing armies and navies
will ultimately follow: and,
Whereas. We believe also that this IS
the most important step taken since the
v ord began by any nation in the direction
of UNIVERSAL peace and the settlement OF
international disputes by Christian meth
odS rather than by the brutal and heather
methods of warfare; and,
Whereas We believe further that the
treaty is a practical embodiment of the
teachings of our beloved Lord and Master,
Jesus Christ. and will hasten the coming
of His promised kingdom of righteousness
and peace; therefore,
I'VE would respectfully and earnestly
urge you, individually and collectively.
not only to vote for the ratification of
said treaty. but to use your utmost in
fluence and endeavors to secure rs
speedy passage through the senate, and
your petitioners will ever pray.
Signed in behalf of the Methodist
preachers meeting of the two Kansas
Citys, ]. n. MOORE,
president.

IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Assessor-Elect Bowers Fighting the
Bill to Tax Street Railways
as Railroads.

Assessor-elect Charles ]. Bowers went be.
fore the county court yesterday at Inde-
pendence for the purpose of securing the
cooperation of the county court in fight
ing the bill now pending before the legis>
lature, which is to take from the county
assessor the privilege of assessing street
railway property and giving the state
board control.
Mr.. Bowers claims that the change will
result disastrOusly 10 the income of Jack
son county, and the county court seemed
TO share the same opinion. It is held that
railway property will be assessed on a par
value of broad gauge railways, and the
difference in assessment would be very
great.
The court will consult with the repre-
sentatives of Jackson county to use their
influence to defeat the proposed legisla-
tion.
