TO TAX INoRDINATE WEALTH

Kansas In an organization, the object
OF which is to tax inoriinate wealth
and ultimately TO secure an amend

ing Congress the power 10 levy such a
tax.
The organization is now working on
a plan TO arouse public interest all
over the country on this subject. The

resolution asking Congress to submit
4 proposition TO amend the Federal
constitution providing for a tax on IN

States viii be asked to adopt similar
resolutions The promoters OF the idea
do not expect TO accomplish the oh

that by proper management the people

ton in 1900.

The promoters Of this latest scheme

1t will have a big run. They look FOR

The British Post Office Savings Bank
lately completed thirty-fiye years OF
existence. and a summary of the re-
suits -eached is given in the Pail Mall
Gazette, which ten years ago gave an
account Of the progress of the system
Tor the quarter century completed in
1886. The journal IN question showed
that, beginning in very modest way,
only 435 deposits, amounting to 1851,
having been received on September 16,
1861, the first day on which business
was transacted. there were during 1885
6,474 ,4S4 deposits, amounting to E15,-
034.694 and on December 81 of that
year the sum of f47, ,697, s3s was stand
ing to the credit of 3. .535, $50 depositors,
in addition to which 30.5s7 depositors
held government stock OF the nominal
value OF f2,452.252. These figures bore
ample testimony to the thrifty habits
of a considerable proportion of the in
habitants of the United Kingdom, and
to the facilities for saving afforded by
the post office.

Kansas City April A special to the
Times from Topeka, Kansas, says:
The Christian Herald Relief Commit

New York to-day asking how much
corn Kansas would give for the famine
sufferers of India. The governor has
not replied to the telegram. He said to-
night that he thought Kansas would
better give her spare corn to the suf-
ferers along the Mississippi river,
leaving England to take care OF India.
England can afford TO do it, he said
"She has robbed India blind. The vast
wealth of India has been gobbled up
by John Bull, and now the rest of the
world is called upon to prevent the in
habitants Of that British-ruled ana
British plundered country from starry

The people Of this part tVaiedsl OF

Hon, John w. Breidenthsl for United

old settler of Labette county. He has
never been q member of either old
party, but has always been a refOrmer'
q 'born crusader" and made q cam
paiRn for the Greenback party when a
mere boy, and for years was the back
bone OF that party in this county. He
was Chairman Of the State Central
committee of the Union Labor party
ia 'SS and was a delegate to the Ma
tionaI convention which organized
chat party at Cincinnati. Funds wore
very sCarcefor paying the expenses OF
chat campaign and Mr.. Breidenthal
almost ruined himself financially In
carrying through the campaign largely
cat of his own pocket. When the
Peoples party looked around for q
leader In 1892 all eyes turned to John
BreIdenthal and he was selected as
Chairman of the State Central COM
mittee and led the party to victory
Although the party was defeated IN
'94, owing to Democratic opposition,
the people never lost confidence In their
leader, and he was again chosen tc
lead the hosts Of reform to victory In
the past campaign. In executive man
agement Of g campaign he has shown
himself to be one Of the greatest "po
litiCal generals" OF the age. His rec

The SenatOrship.

State Senator elect w. A. Harris Of
Leayenworth county is o candidate
for the United States Senate. Here is q
chance for Kansas to do herself proud.
Colonel Harris was born In Virginia.
He was educated at the school founded
and fostered by Thomas Jefferson, who
taught Democracy to the world and
secured a republican form of govern
ment for the United States. Mr..
Harris early education and the strug-
giles of O lifetime fit him in Sn eminent
degree to represent the people to
maintain the right Of the people among
the millionaire representatives of
wealth on the floor Of the Senate.
There is not pulsstiOn Of his great
hesrt that keeps touch or tune to the
sentiments of those men of the East
whose Unsuitable greed has exalted to
the skies the rights of property with a
corresponding contempt for what used
to be regarded as the rights Of man.
Channcey Depew'S praise Of the gov
eminent Of Great Britain, Of limited
monarchy, to the diSpsragement of our
republic, meets with no response In
| the heart Of q JeffeTSOnian Democrat
like Col. w. A, Harris,
Colonel Harris forte seems to be In
the halls of Congress. The msgni6'
cent record made by him 40 9 one
term Congressman proves him to be
worthy Of still greater honors. The
fight he led almost Single.handed and
alone against the Pacific railroad bill
by which an effort was made to Chea'
the government out Of $lSS, 0OO,0O
shows Che courage and capabilities o.
the man.
Senator Harris Is q Peoples part,
man, and IL Kansas honors herself b!
} sending him to the United States Sen
ate, he will do all that one man can d.
. by voice and vote to emancipate tn
government from an oligarchy o
: trusts and make 1t once more govern
. ment of the people, for the people AMI
