INGALLS,, INCONSISTENCY.

If ever a man got peppered for de-
flaming his betters. and richly deserved
all he got, it is JOHN J.. INGALLS,, who,
by the grace of the Republican majority
in the senate, holds the second highest
Office in the nation. Even Mr.. INGALLS,
home papers, and those of his own po
litical faith, too, are disguised with his
way of singing mud. This is the way
the Atchison Globe refers to it:
Much as we admire Mr.. INGALLS,, of Atch-
ison, we must confess to shortness of
breath while reading his last roast of the
rooster had been roasted. A low fellow
named BLACKBURN, from Kentucky, in reply
ing to Mr.. INGALLS,, refused TO be fiery or ell
oquent. but he talked common sense in
manner that will be very displeasing to Atch-
ison people. 1t may have been unwise in
Mr.. INGALLS, to refer to MCCLELLAN and HAN
COCK as allies of the Coufederacy, for no
other reason than that they had consented to
become Democratic candidates, but it was
brutal in the fellow BLACKBURN to compare
the military record of Mr.. INGALLS, with the
military records of MCCLELLAN and HANCOCK.
In addition to this whack at him from
his home organ, Mr.. ingalls, recent eX-
hibition of his yituperatiye genius has
invited digging up of his own political
record during the war in Kansas, which,
according to his own way of measuring
things, places him in the category of
Confederate allies'' and having been
engaged in ''illicit intercourse with the

DIVORCE LEGISLATION.

The rapid growth of divorce courts
throughout the country, a growth which
has been noticeable in the Northwest of
late, calls renewed attention to the
necessity for some kind Of national leg
iSiation upon the subject. Under the
present dispenSation of so-called justice
diyorcing is as easy in many states and
territories as marrying is in all.
Divorces are granted for the most
trivial causes by the courts of some
states, which the courts of others utterly
refuse to entertain. The result is not
only lamentable confusion, but, in the
facility with which the divorces are
granted, constant menace to the sa-
credness of the marriage tie, and conse-
quently to society at large.
Domestic misery would be less fire.
quent, marriages would be less lightly
entered into, if it were definitely under
stood that divorce would be granted
only for the gravest possible reasons,
and that plea which would not be ell
tertained in one state would be imme-
diately thrown out of the courts in an
other. StatiSticianS show that divorces
are increasing with astonishing rapid
ity, and that unless measures are taken
to check them they will still further Re
duce the proportion now existing in
favor of marriages.
1t is matter not alone of local, but of
national, Importance, and for it's own
good the government should take steps,
before the present congress adjOurns, to
bring about a uniformity in the divorce
laws and to hedge the granting Of di-
vorces about with the strictest limita-

and the most unpopular. The next best
method of raising reyenue-the most
popular and easily carried QUITS by an
indirect tax on such imported goods as
are not necessaries of life, and which
the people are not obliged to purchase
and viii not unless they can afford to in
dulge in luxuries. The greater the lux
ury and the less it is necessary, the
greater proportion of ad valorem tax it
should pay. AS soon as nation begins
to levy tax on imported goods for the
protection of the manufacturer of any
kind of goods, that moment the whole
matter becomes a strife between the
manufacturer of one kind of goods and
another as to who shall be protected the
most. They generally combine with one
another until they are all protected to
the utmost extent that the consumers
will submit to, and a surplus is piled up
in the treasury. and then the strife com.
menceS as to who shall get the most OF
that in the shape of subsidies for local
and personal interests. There never
was more effective piece of machinery
for making the rich richer and the poor
poorer than high protective tariff.

degraded elements of the North.o Ac-
cording to the record, as it is now
brought to light, it is shown that, failing
to get the Republican nomination for
lieutenant governor in 1862, Mr.. ingalls,
bolted his party and ran for Office on a
ticket with prominent Republicans Oh a
platform denouncing party organize
tions at such a time. In 1884 he ran
again as the candidate of the Kan
sas Democrats for lieutenant governor
on platform which contained the fol
lowing plank:
That we hereby ratify the nomination of
GEORGE b. MCCLELLAN, of New Jersey, Tor
president, and GEORGE B. PENDLEToN, OF
Ohio, for vice president, and we pledge them
our united support.
That we hereby ratify and adopt the Chi
cago platform as understood and construed
by Gen. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN in his letter
accepting the nomination of the Chicago
convention TOR president of the United
States.
With this record staring him in the
face, and that, too, in the light of his
recent utterances in the senate, it does
seem that it would be an act of wis
dom in Mr.. INGALLS, to trade himself
off for ''yaller dog and then hire
somebody to shoot the dog.

EXERCISE SCHOOLS.

Reports made to various Eastern
school boards, and, we believe, also, to
the board of education in Milwaukee,
demonstrate the fact that not only are
the study hours in many instances too
long, because of the assignment of tasks
which can not be prepared except by
hard and continued study after the
school hours proper come to close. but
that this necessary application, taken in
connection with an almost total lack of
exercise, is having perceptible effect
in causing the deterioration, if not the
breaking down, of the rising genera
tons physical makeup.
The remedy suggested for this evil,
In addition to decrease in the number
of hours devoted to study, is the es-
Enlistment, on limited scale, of a
gymnasium in connection with each
public school, and compulsory exercise
under an experienced instructor.
Within certain limits the suggestion
may be practicable, and if it should be
found so, it is certainly worthy the
WarmeSt commentator. No one can
doubt, who has observed the wan faces
and puny forms of city children in pub
lie schools, but that exercise is their
greatest need. 1t is certainly to the
states advantage to have its future citi-
zens grow to maturity with robust
bodies as much as it is to have them
well developed mentally.
If both processes of development
could be carried on tremendously in
youth, there is no question whatever
but that the adult would be much
superior individual to the one who,
under the present order of things,
achieves his intellectual growth by the
sapping of his physical strength. Col
leges have recognized this fact by es-
tablishing gymnasiums and in some in
stances insisting upon attendance.
They have uniformly found the results
to be excellent.
If kind OF primary gymnasium, de-
voted not to instruction i'll difficult ath-
letic feats, but simply to harmonious
physical development, could be at
tached TO the public schools, there is
every reason to believe it would be
found equally beneficial.

to the preservation of the faith of the
nation to its creditors and pensioners.
Every article which does not come into
direct competition with the products of
our domestic industry, and is eS-
sential to the comfort and wants of otr
people, should be placed upon the free
list. Every raw material of industry,
which does not compete with our own
productions. should be especially Sc
Iected for the free list. The continual
ton of the present war tariff is little less
than a crime. Free trade is not de-
manded now. The Republicans would
have the people believe that the issue
between the parties is protection VS..
free trade. AS between the present
high protective tariff and abso-
lutte free trade, l prefer the lat
ter. But there is a middle ground,
which is broad enough for all honest
men to stand upon. 1t is enunciated in
the platform of the Democratic Earty in
1854, and is emphasized in the grand
message of President Cleveland to the

between reducing internal revenue or

to their respective places in the natural

Joseph Medill and the Hon. Murat Hal
stead are the monkey and the parrot of
the Republican camp. The Chicago
Tribune is enthusiastically and unani-
mously in favor of Judge Gresham for
president. while it is continually attack
ing John Sherman. The Commercial
Gazette, on the other hand, bitterly op-
poses Gresham and the Tribune, and
loses no opportunity of pushing forward
