Some Of the Strong Points Brought Out by
the Senior Kansas Senator.
Washington Special.
Senator Ingans's speech. made . week ago,
came out In the Congressional Record to-day.
1t will probably be more largely circulated than
any speech he has yet delivered. The traitor
ous letter Of Fitz John Porter, written Jan. IL,
1888. is the first thing in it. This is the letter
which Porter thought he was writing to "a rebel
brigadisr in Congress- In it he tells how his
heart lis and has always been with you.
though ut one time my hand and head worked
against you and your cause" This IL probably
the most open pledge OF his sympathy with
secession that Fitz John Porter has ever given.
What Senator ingalls, had to say about the
Supreme Court as an issue in the
presidential struggle il brief but pointed.
Taking Lamar's disgraceful appointment
to the bench by President Cleveland a. the
text the Kansas Senator says: 1T is the tribu.
nal Of last resort. There Is no appeal from its
decision except by revolution. Its influence on
our political history has never been fully appre-
ciated All the important questions arising
hereafter under the constitutional amendments,
the reconstruction acts. the statutes of freedom,
the laws regulating national elections the pay
ment for slaves and losses by war are to be- de-
cided by tho Supreme Court" The facts about
the Louisiana election which Senator ingalls,
brought together are overwhelming. He quotes
the speech of Governor McEnery declaring it is
time 'the Law shall be SILENT and promising
to wrap the State in revolution from the Gulf
to the Arkansas line rather than that the
negroes shall be permitted to organize. The
figures are quoted to show how
Nichols's majority of So, 900 was manufactured,
and how at State electica the returns have
been made to show that the vote cast for Mic
hollis was 10000 larger than that cast for Clsvs-
land. BY these same returns the total vote WAS
made out to be greater than the total reeistra-
ton. AS to the terrorism and fraud by which
the colored people were kept from voting.
Senator INGALLS, produces proof that cannot be
gainsaid. Details are given Of the way the
spurious majorities were manufactured. and the
warnings of some Of the Democratic papers of
the State are quoted. These warnings ars to
the effect that the business has been badly over
done and the Democratic party must bear the
responsibility for the work of its overzealous
members who were bound that Yarmouth
should never be Governor, even if they had to
count him out dozen times over. ALI that
Senator ingalls, had to say about the Louisiana
plan is emphasized by the sneer of Senator
Eustis that it was nobody's business outside Of
Louisiana how her elections were managed.

After while Ben got tired Of his
small business and decided to go into
business In Lynn on larger scale. This
the young fellow did. While in Lynn
he discovered that some men in the
commission business were making more
money than he was without doing any
work, so he concluded to give up the
manufacture of shoes and go into the
commission business, which he did in
1850, on Pearl street, Boston.
After remaining in that Office two
years he gave up the business East and
came West to- Milwaukee. where he
started in general business, until
finally, some few years later, he re-
moved to Chicago and engaged in wheat

The man who is creating such a SEN
sation by manipulating the wheat mar
ket, B. P. Hutchinson, of Chicago, is a
New England Yankee. He began his
career in the little village of North
Reading, Mass, about forty years ago,
when he entered the employ of a man
named Edwin Foster, who kept a
country store at North Reading. Here
he was paid $50 year. His duties were
to look after the store, and when
not SO employed he had to mend chill
dren's shoes in the rear of the store.
MIR. Foster employed another lad in the
store, to whom he gave $50 year. Ben
did not like this distinction in salaries
and rebelled against it. The other boy
was paid $40 more year because he
could ''read writing hand" and was
therefore more valuable to his employer
than Ben. The other lad had to get up
early in the morning to make up the
mail, which went by the old-fashioned
coach from Reading to Boston. Finally
Ben became tired of that sort of thing
and obtained permission from Mr..
Foster to use part of an old shed, which
he built into a kind of store, with
patched-up door On the side ard an old
window in front, Whereupon was in
