INGALLS,. TOO

SENATOR INGALLS,, too, waving the
bloody shirt as his own particular BAN
her, is understood to have entered as a
dark horse in the presidential race. His
friends, for be it remembered even the
poorest among lis has his friends, are
already working earnestly in his be-
half, and hope rises high in the Kan
sans breast.
The coming Republican convention
will be the most extraordinary conglom-
Grafton in this country's history, but to
the casual observer an INGALLS, boom
would seem too preposterous even for
it. Yet there is the FORAKER boom,
too: and, enduring it,the convention can
probably stomach that of INGALLS,.
Fortunately, however, the Republican
convention is not representative of the
common sense and intelligence of the
whole people. In moment of insanity
it might possibly crafty the ambition
of both INGALLS, and FORAKER. though
it IS hardly conceivable thai it would
commit such egregious stupidity. Aud
with what heartfelt delight the people
would crowd over each other to get
whack at such ticket.
INGALLS, and FoRAKER-just think
of it, No, the American people are
hardly prepared for such farcical alb
Surdity as that. There are men worthy
of respect, even in Republican conven-
tiOnS.

MORE CEAPLAINS.

Itappears that the army of the United
States is sadly in need of religious in
struction. While there are 124 army
posts, there are but thirty-four regularly
commissioned chaplains in the army.
Many Of these posts are at frontier
points, out of the way of civilization.
and consequently denied the facilities
for divine service accorded post situ-
ated in the vicinity ola town or city.
Dependence must be placed upon an
occasional missionary, and in time of
death or mortal sickness the services of
clergyman must frequently be dis
pensed with. This is not as it should
be. Great care is taken to provide each
post with one or more physicians, but
the ''healerS of mems souls" are re-
garded as quite secondary eonsidera-
tion. There should be chaplain at
every post.
CThere is no lack of work for such an
officer to perform, but even if his duties
were confined to experimenting the
post schools. his services in that direc-
tion would more than warrant his APP
pointment. There is no lack, either, of
material from which to make the ap-
pointments. The numerous theological
schools, with their Still more numerous
annual graduates prevent the occurrence
OF any difficulty in that direction.
The need for more chaplainS really
seems to be pressing one. and the
government would do well to give the
matter attention.

LAROR,S REWARD.

An enormous sum of money is one
hundred million dollars Raised by
taxation ON the necessary articles of
living, at the expense of the people, it
is a heavy burden. This is about the
sum OF money, enormous as it is, which
is needlessly levied upon the labor of
the country annually-not because it is
needed for the wants of the government,
but solely for the enrichment of those
who are already rich. This oppressive
tax fosters monopolies, and makes
the few rich men richer and
the many poor men, from whom the tax
is largely collected, poorer. While this
tax fosters monopoly in manufactures,
II involves sharp competition in labor.
1t has drawn vast army OF laborers
from other countries to compete with
the worklngmen of our own country.
BY it the cost of living is vastly in
creased. until life is becoming burden
to many workingmen. By it a false
stimulus has been given to many
industries, which has induced mill
ions of laborers from Hungary,
Italy, China and every part of the
habitable globe, to swarm to our
shores and enter into fierce competi-
tion in the labor market. Yet laboring
men are appealed to by the monopolistic
party to sustain this system, which
gives them all the free trade and COM
petition, and to the privileged few the
monopoly and the profit.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-06-17
THE WAY 1T WORKS.

THE vagaries of the high tariff tax
advocates are sometimes absurd in the
extreme. A case in point occurred the
other day in congress when the MILLS
bill was under consideration. A propo-
sition was made to put tin plate on the
free list. This was Immediately OBJ
jected to by the high tariff men.
The advocates of the proposition
showed that although the consumption
of tin plate in this country is enormous
and enters into the living expenses of
every family whenever case of canned
goods is bought, yet not a pound of tin
plate is produced here. In consequence,
there is not single person to ''pro-
tect," while ON the contrary the whole
people would be benefited if the duty
should be taken off.
But the protectionists would not have
it so. The interests of the people are
nothing to them. Of that the curious
argument made by them in support of
the retention of the tax is demonstra-
ton enough. For, they said, even
though tin plate is not now produced
here, it can be produced, and the tax
should remain on for the benefit of the
potential producers. That is a very
fail sample of the high tariff argument.
1t makes no difference whether the
people suffer or not; they must be
taxed for the benefit of the monopolists.
But the people have had enough Of

THE NEWsBOYS' HOME.

1t viii lac seen from the detailed re-
port published elsewhere that the news
boys home project is progressing favor
ably. but not with the raNdity iiiat is
desired and which was reasonably to be
expected.
The object of the movement is noble
one. There is no direction in which the
energies and means of charitably dis
posed people could be more proitably
extended. The home will in a great de-
gree afford the restraining and reform
atory influences which MANY of the
boys now sadly lack, and i'll increasing
the scope of these influences the good
people of st. Paul should gladly join.
Id passing, attention should be called
to one particular. which has already
come under the notice of those inter
ested in the home-that is the practice
engaged in by certain liquor dealers of
selling liquor to the newsboys and other
minors. This is something which the
law rightfully condemns vigorously.
Every detected instance of it should be
followed by immediate prosecution, and
those who become aware of the despica-
BILE practice will aid the good work
which the managers of the home have
undertaken by informing them or by
proceeding i'll the premises on their own
account.
The establishment of the home is now
fairly under way. 1t remains for the
generously disposed people of the city
to make it complete success.

A FRESH AIR FUND.

Though the time when charity has
particular reason to exert itself is in the
winter season, there is yet ample room
during the summer for it to exert itself.
In fact. during the extremely hot
weather, people of charitable diSp0Si-
ton who wish to ameliOrate the cOndi-
ton of suffering humanity can find as
broad field for the cultivation of their
generous impulses as exists at any time.
There are hundreds of people in every
large city who, during the heated term,
do not live, in the proper sense of the
word-they merely exist.
Sweltering in tenements or in wretch
ed novels, barely able, perhaps, to earn
enough to keep soul and body together,
such thing as days vacation, a brief
outing by lakeside or in the woods is a
thing preposterous. They may dream
of it, but as long as the necessities of
life are so pressing they cannot realize
their dream. They may see their little
one pining away for the want of breath
of fresh air, but even though the re-
freShing lakes and the cooling woods
are but half hours ride, they are pow
erleSs.
Physicians know that the mortality
among young children in the city is
greater during the summer months
than during the rest of the year.
They point out the facts. The
remedy is with the people. In other
cities there are fresh air funds
by means of which several hundred
poor people with their children are af-
fOrded an outing once a week in the
country. The good these funds have
accomplished, both from sanitary and
moral standpoint, has been made evi-
dent wherever they exist.
There should be one In each of the
Twin Cities. The proximity of the
lakes, the numerous transportation fa-
cilities and the abundant wealth exist
ing in st. Paul and Minneapolis, ought
to make the organization of an effective
fund easy. That there would be no lack
of beneticiaries of it, must be apparent
to the most casual observer.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-06-17

determined by the figures, as the im-
peratiye necessity of it is made clear to
the dulleSt by the millions stored in the
treasury, a threat to business and the
results of unjust taxation. ''Ali unnec-
essary taxation is unjust taxation,"
says the st. Louis platform. The
customs taxation is now higher than at
a;::yy time of the war period. Higher
than it Was when the war debt was S2,-
36,0O0.O0O, with annual interest charge
of S146, 100000, was reached lii 1854. The
debt is now less than $1,000. 0.0Oo, and
the interest charged only $4,000, 900,
and yet we are keeping up the same old
war taxes, carrying demoralizing sur
plus to the treasury, and taxing the
wage, workers necessaries of life,
largely in the interests of millionaire
trusts and monopolies. Such an abuse
OF the taxing laws would stir up re-
bellion even in Russia. With us it is
preached as blessing and the secret of
our national prosperity. Great is the
power of humbug!
