Kansas City, Kas., has eighty-two
joints These joints all pay fines, and in
addition thereto there is an average of
218 people fined each month for violation
of city criminal ordinances. A majority
of the offences are for disturbing the
peace-that is, for drunkenness. The to-
tai monthly revenue arising to the city
from all these fines amounts to $4 4,491.52.
Total yearly revenue, $53,898.24.
From careful investigation and from
the testimony Of jolntlsts themselves, 1t
is ascertained that the average cash
sales Of joint amount TO $50 per day.
The amount spent daily in the eighty
two joints is $2,460 monthly, S7S,S0O;
yearly, $885,60O. This amount will build
more. than forty such churches as the
Washington Avenue building. And
nearly all this vast sum is paid out by
poor people who work by the day; and
whose money would otherwise go to pay
for groceries and meat, for hardware
and clothing, and for more comfortable
and better furnished homes.
That ia to say, the business men Of Kansas
City In order to secure yearly revenue to
the city Of the paltry sum of SB3, 1898 "a are
willing to sacrifice q Grade amounting to
1888 10000 - almost One Million Dollars.
In other words, for every one dollar of rev.
enue gained the business men lose sixteen
dollars of trade.
IL we presume that the 164 jOIntlsts leach
OF the 81 Joints has an average Of joint
lsts) spends @5 each day for provisions and
other neceasarieg of life, we find that the
business men are still losing more than ten
dollars of trade for every one dollar of rev.
enue gained.
The above is not all the story. Wyan-
dotte county has two courts of record,
the District and Common Pleas court.

But three months time has wrought
miracles. The people are returning from
the mountains, the fruits peculiar to this
country are ripening, sweet potatoes and
other Cuban vegetables are being har-
vested in great abundance and a general
improvement can be observed.
The outlook for the colored race in this
country is bright. Prejudice is prac-
tically unknown. Merit alone is placed
in competition and a man is man re-
gardless of color and a colored man, in
common with other men Of education
and push, representing some capital and
imbued with business ideas, can find
here opportunities for the exercise Of
their ability.

The entire costs of maintaining our

If the expense Of boarding prisoners is
added to the $52,OO561 above, the Grim

Mr.. Freeman's conclusion in his own
words is: "The revenue derived from
joints does not lessen taxation, because
almost all crime is caused directly or in
directly by the liquor traffic"

GENERAL WESTON
Testifes Before the War Investigation
 Commission.

Washington, December 16.-Brigadier-Ge Gen. eral John F. Weston, chief commissary of the Shafter expedition, testified today be- fore the war Investigating commission that there was an absence of red tape methods in feeding the volunteers at slboney. He said he never heard a complaint of the con- dition of the commissary supplies at the front. Special efforts had been made in be- half of the volunteers whose officers he recognized sometimes did not quite under stand how to get what was due to the men. Surgeons were given articles from hospital stores on mere memorandum receipts. So far as the food was concerned, General Weston characterized the Santiago cam paign as a mere bagatelle, the hardships being trivial compared to his own experi- ence in frontier Indian campaigns, when he and his men were forced to use their wagon mules for food
 Quartermaster-General Ludington testified as to the operations of his department prior to and during the war. He received his first allotment of $5OO,O0 from the $50,0OO,O0O emergency fund early in April and pushed the manufacture of all equipments produced in United States arsenals to the utmost. The ohiei uiiicuity III piSpoiih6 ehe oi my Sf'iP ment was in securing tent ruck and jersey, both of which were manufactured especially for the army Acquisitions for tents were filled promptly, as rule, and he recollected very few delays in furnishing hospital tents. Manufacturers, as a rule, did not increase their stocks to any extent before the call for material from the department This applied to wagons and all other mater ial required by the quartermaster's depart ment. Concernig the shipment of medical supplies, General Ludington said they were rushed forward as promptly and more so than other supplies.
