knew his speech would DC offensive to
Northern and Southern Democrats in
Senate and Horse, and that It would
perhaps embitter them against the bill
to such an extent as to jeopardise or
defeat its ena ctment. Yet conscious Of
this-and he must have been conscious
of II, inasmuch as he Is not fool-he
deliberately pursued a course calcu-
lated TO accomplish tho very thing he
professed to desire to avoid. Why did
Mr.. Ingalls, do this? Simply because
he wished to create an issue which he
hoped would be helpful to the Repub-
lican party. He fancied that Il
by insulting and angering them
he could only goad the Dem
ocrats into defeating the bill,
the Republicans would then have a
basis on which to ground nm appeal
for the support of all those who fought
in the Union army. He would subject
the helpless veterans to indefinite i'm

sake of an advantage to the political

ors. Is it any exaggeration to say
that this man is the enemy and not the
friend OF the soldier? He pretends to
favor the bill, yet hopes for its defeat.
He pleads for the veteran, yet adopts a
policy which he must know will in
sure q denial of the veterans demand.
He hypocritically asks Congress to do
the very thing which he doesn't
want it to do. Professions Of
love for the veterans are on his
lips, but sympathy with the crippled
old heroes is not in his heart Ingalls,
is brilliant, but his brilliancy doesn't
blind the public to the fact that he is
deficient in craftsmanship and sim
cerity. If he thinks he is deceiving

mantle of Logan, he is deceiving him.

would form a very uncomplimentary
estimate of the skill, the judgment

INGALLS, MEANNESS.
The Cnutterabie PusIllanimous Dispo
ton of the Kansas Man.

.
tion of the Kansas Man.
The speech which MI ingalls, of
Kansas recently delivered in the United
States Senate on the pensions bill was
extremely malignant. Its author dem
onstrated, although the demonstra-
ton was unnecessary, that he is keenly
sarcastic and a master of invective,
and that there is perhaps no other man
in the American public life so skillful
in the art of saying trenchant things
in parliamentary way. He insulted
President Cleveland, and also the
memories of Generals Hancock and
Mcclellan; and perverted fact to the
extent of declaring that no Democratic
constituency in the South had ever
elected Union soldier to either branch
of Congress. The speech was bitterly
partisan. Its purpose was to revile
the Democratic leaders and to revive
sectional animosities, and Mr.. Black
burn fifty characterized it when, in the
course of his calm and courteous but
vigorous reply, he pronounced it an
insult to the dignity of the Senate.
The bill before the Senate was framed
by the Grand Army of the Republic,
and provided for the extension of pen
sions to disabled veterans. Whether
the proposed benefciaries, who imper-
lied their lives in defense of the Union
at the most critical period in its his
tory, should now, in their old age and
n no 1aCnfantn1
ported by the Government they helped
to save or be left dependent on the
charity of their neighbors. is a problem
for reason and gratitude and not for
passion to solve. There is nothing in
the proposition that calls for an ap-
peal to the hatreds born of the war.
Those who fought against the Union
now realize as fully as those who
fought for it that it was fortunate for
all the struggle resulted as it did. They
are thankful, Notwithstanding that the
war cost the loss of thousands upon
thousands of lives they held dearer
than their own seld the sacrifice of
their fortunes, that the Union arms
triumphed. Had it been otherwise the
condition of the country would now be
deplorable and its future threatening.
In these circumstances, if it was Senator
Ingalls, desire to secure the passage of
the bill and thus assist the old soldiers,
he should have appealed to the judg-
ment and sense of fairness of the South
srn representative. Such an appeal
would not have been in vain. But this
was not his desire. He did not discuss
the question from the standpoint ofthe
patriot and statesman. but from that

A most romantic story comes from Con.

been accustomed during the shmtnsr I'd

bloody Shirt Saints.
From the reply of the Secretary of
War to the Boutclle resolution re-
specting the return of Confederate
flags, it appears that in 1867 Secretary
Stanton issued an order permitting
the return of a number of them. This
will be news to the Republican Shrek
ers who were so loud in their denun-
CT alton of President Cleveland for Civ
ing his consent to the order of the
Secretary of War proposing the return
of all flags, Union and Confederate, to
the capitols of the proper States. Sec
rotary Stanton having been "trooly
loil " even during the days of recon-
struction, it will be rather difficult for
the Republicans to find fault with
President Cleveland for doing just
what Secretary Stanton did two years
after the close of the war.
When the great war Secretary y
returned the Confederate 1ags, Thad-
deus Stevens was the leader of the Re-
publican party in Congress. He was
the bosom friend of Secretary Stanton
and each had the others confidence.
The return of the flags in 1867 was not
made without the knowledge of Thad-
deus Stevens, but the "great com.
moner " did not rise in his place to Of
fer resolution condemning the action
of Secretary Stanton or even to pro-
pose an inquiry into his conduct. Bit.
terly as Thaddeus Stevens hated the
South he was incapable of the incffabla
meanness of censuring the Secretary Of
War for performing an act calculated
to restore good feeling between the cs-
tranged sections eff the country.
1t remained for the latter-day Re
publican saints to hold up their hands
in holy horror at the proposition of the
war Office to return the captured flags
of both armies TO the States to which
they properly belong. What Edwin
M. Stanton did and Thaddcus Stevens
quietly acquicsced in the knights OF
the bloody shirt twenty-three years
after the surrender at Appomattox
pronounce an offense and crime
against the loyal spirit of the Ameri-
can people. With the Republicans OF

oHIo's GREAT ICEBERG.

Cold from the northward comes hither the
boom OF John Sherman;
This is the Frost Kings particular darling
and hero
All other boomlets are helplessly kickin' and
sduirmin';
What can they do with the mercury quite
down TO Eero'
Solemn and grand as an iceberg O'ertoppins
the ocean,
snOw.OOvered. cavernOus, wholly majestic
and mystic,
Seeming above or outside OF oil human emo
Such is the boom of John Sherman, the pale
ocrystic.
Fierce as the blizzard that sweeps DER the
plains OF Dakota,
Quite as unwelcome, it makes US all huddle
and shiver;
Hard as the cold OF the Wild woods OF North
Minnesota,
Freezing the brook to solidity, bridging the
river.
Wise as an oracle born OF the Gre ess or Chal-
deans
Calling aloud for q count that is honest and
Hayesy,
Sherman unfurls the white flag to the dear
Tennesseans,
Waving the bloody shirt then with vim tina,
is crazy.
Always wherever he travels, from Nashville to
Kingston.
Freezing the leaves that are dead and the
blooms that are faded,
Over him hovers the shade OF Eliza de Plnks-
ton,
With him abides the dark stain OF the Fraud
that he aided.
Say, will this iceberg melt wholly before July
weather,
Sinking at last in the sea where it sough,

Or will John Sherman's and other booms per
fish together,
Giving some boomless unknown the desired
nomination?

A Jug Of spring sarsaparilla was just as

famous medical authority says that the very

plains the rugged health Of our ancestors.
While Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparillai is
an excellent remedy for all seasons Of the

spring, when the system is full of sluggish
blood and requires q natural constitutional
tonic and lnvigorator to resist colds and
pneumonia, and the effects OF long winter.
