allowing the Better City Government
league the exclusive right to conduct
the examination. He cortendcd it was
not within the power Of the board to
grant such a privilege.
Then the bail Of discussion went roll
ing back and forth. Webb would not
withdraw his amendment. The original
motion was made to oring order out Of
chaos, but chaos seemed to have the
best of it. Webb displayed a gluttonous
appetite for prosecution and plainly
stated that he wanted all he could get,
and would bar out nobody.
JUST AFFAIR DEAL. THAT'S ALL
Director Adams had maintained q
great reserve during the evening, but ne
interposed at this point to say that he
would have Judges Murphy and Colts
chalk to represent him, and all he asked
was a fair deal. The Better City Gov

on the board but himself, and common
fairness and honesty would accord any
other league Il chance to come in For
himself all he asked was fair deal.

Upon roconvcning the original mo-

substitute offered by Webb:

a motion was then made that Mr..

1t was then determined that the board

To all intents and purposes the sug-
gestions conveyed in this communica-
tion We're the same as those made by
DR.. Mathis. Director Webb stated that
he had objected to the smallness of the
committee appointed. He had thought
they would have had three members of
the board and the chairman, and fail
ing that, he didn't think the public ought
to place the responsibility on their
shoulders.
THE Is. C. G. L. TAKES A HAND
Director Conrey presented Mr.. Ferd
Rule, president of the Better City Gov
ernment league, to the board. That gem
tleman stated that he had been author
lied by the league to ask that the inves-
tiSation be conducted in a proper man
ner. He said he was glad to see the in
vestigating committee in the peculiar
position it was, and congratulated them
on being well out of it. He asked that
the league be permitted to adopt the
charges as its own, and conduct the eX-
animation before the board sitting as {,
board OF judges.
Director Davis thought the offer of the
Better City Government league relieved
the board from embarrassment. He
thought it would he right for the board
not to take any part either in making 4
case out against the accused parties or
in seeking to defend them. BY delogat-
ing authority to the league the investi-
cation would be conducted III manner
eminently fair, and he moved that the
board accept the offer with thanks of the
board.
Director Conrey seconded the motion.

the plan of investigation.
Mr.. Rule explained that the league
would take the atfidavits, in which spe-
cific charges We're made. and make them
the basis for an examination. the same
as in any court proceedings. a direct
examination would be made and then
counsel for the accused could cross

Director Webb moved to amend. He
desired that the Better City Government
league, or any other league, be allowed
to have representative, or the district
attorney be summoned to prosecute the
charges. Webb stated that he had been
endorsed by the Better City Government

Why the Poor are Poor.

Rev. William H. Carwardine, pastor of the
Adams Street Methodist church of Chicago,
lectured under the auspices of the Kansas City
Industrial Council at the Academy of Music
last night The lecture was an impressive one,
we'll calculated to set laboripg classes to think
ing. Although the audience was small it was
appreciative
Rev. Carwardine reviewed the industrial con-
test in 1894, characterizing Pullman as mod
ern Nero, who sat by while the terrible state of
affairs at Chicago existed and refused to accede
to the demands of the working people.
Some hot shot was poured into the trusts,
the speaker giving statistics TO show that the
from 1893 to 1896 inclusive, and after referring
sarcastically to the proposed coffin trust, said :
"They would band together, buy rp all the
stock in heaven and relegate the balance of us
to the regions somewhat warmer than the equa
tor, and, sometimes think, where they ought
to go themselves
Continuing along this line, Mr.. Carwardine
spoke of the government being controlled by
millionaires, not only in office, but at large,
"Why" he said "every member of our honor
able Presidents cabinet. except two, is mil
lionaire The extreme richness and the ex-
treme poverty convinces us that the rich grow
richer and the poor poorer"
Here reference to the increasing number of
millionaires and decreasing wages of laborers
was discussed.
The speaker is strong advocate OF the SEN
timent "America for Americans, etc." and
attributed eonsids rable degree of the depres3
sion and poverty to the tremendous influx of
# reigh of foreign labor, bringing with them
old no. ons. He spoke of hem asthe Sine
of Europe
Eugene " Debs received a eulogy at Mr..
Carwardine's hand, eing termed modern
martyr. w. ]. Bryan was also spoken of as
one out of thousands who had honest convic-
tions and the courage of them.
Mr.. Carwardine advocated Christianity as the
best remedy for these evils, and among the
other issues touched opon and advocated by
him were State arbitration boards, income tax,
government ownership and operation Of rail
roads and like condition in municipalities
with reference to gas, electric lights and city
railroads. City Star.

Last weeks issue of the Ottawa Times,
edited by Our old friend, the Hon. P. P. Elder,
referring to what ii e Advocate had said on the
subject of redeemng legal tender paper money
in coin, says:
The editor of the Times claims to be one of
tie. founders of the Popu st party, and has
been familiar with the old Greenback theories
on money, and always has unde rstood the money
theory to be gold and silver and not treasury
notes, all interchangeable with each other,
which means the same as redeemable, and we
still believe that while full legal tender National
paper money is not made valuable by redemp-
ton, we also believe that it is not repugnant 10
our ideas of money to have the paper money
remedeemable in coin. Nor do we believe or
understand IL "a Il e Democratic party as defined
at the Chicago convention believes in the doc
trine of State banks of issue. That is no part
of the doctrine of modern Democracy, and the
Advocate knows it, There is nothing in the
Democratic creed as put forth at the Chicago
convention but every Populist can agree to
without single qualification, and any attempt
of the Advocate to create dissention in the
ranks or creeds of these two political elements
forebodes nothing but harm in the ranks of
these combined political elements.
If the Times will refer to the Greenback Ma
lonal platform for the years for the years 1876,
1880, 1884 and 1888, it will see that that party,
during the whole period of its existence, de-
manded the issue and use of full legal tender
paper money by the government of the United
States, and never favored or approved its re-
demption in coin. 1t insisted that such paper
money was good money, full and complete
money, equal to gold and silver coin. And
that is the Populist doctrine now.
AS to the Democrat party's position this
subject, it was always hard money party.
Going back only to 1880, we find the third
plank of lis National platform begins in these
words: "Home rule honest money
consisting of gold and paper convertible into
coin on demand" In the 1884 platform this
paragraph occurs: owe believe in honest
money, the gold and the silver coinage of the
constitution, and a circulating medium coll
vertible into such money withous loss" In
1892 the party declared "We recommend
that the prohibtory 10 per cent tax on State
bank issues be repealed"
The platform of 1896 sets out by referring to
the pas record of the party and approving it
"We, the Democrats of the United States, in
National convention assembled, do reafirm our
allegiance to those great essential principles of
justi e and liberty upon which our institutions
are founded, and which the Democratic party
