the new Chinese treaty, is just and right

Paid IN His Own Coin.

Senator ingalls,, of Kansas, is a self-consti
tuted censor. He rarely delivers a speech
or writes for publication a letter that he
does not attack the private character or the
public record of some ono. He is a master
of billingsgate, therefore he will appreciate
an article in BelfOrds Ndgnzine for this
month, in which Col Don. Piatt, former
Washington journalist, pays him in his
own coin. Col. Piatt refers to him as an
animated senatorial sneer," "a fend of a
phrase-eater," "a corn-fed cat" and in
other such picturesque terms. ''lf the
Almighty" says he, lever wrote legible
hand upon a human countenance and put
that countenance in keeping with the form,
Senator ingalls, is man men would sus-
pect and women avoid" Referring to the
Kansas senator's war record, he says: This
lofty son Of the screaming eagle fought for
his imperiled country from three-legged
stool Of a judge advocate" He mentions
ingalls, race for lieutenant governor of
Kansas in 1862 on a fusion ticket, the sup
porters of which a republican newspaper in
that state said were suspected of treason
lie recalls the Kansas senatorial election of
1873, following which legislative commit
tee acquitted Ingalls, Of bribery, and tho leg
islature resolved that bride money had been
passed, and said, to use Col. Piatt's words,
that "a senatorial candidate may resort to
bribery, provided he acts by agent, and
"a member may receive a brbe without
subjecting himself to expulsion, provided
he is not caught at it.n He also brings up
the charge that Ingalls, paid bride money to
Kansas Judge to secure an order in a case
in which he was interested as attorney, and
concludes by quoting from the Leavenworth
(kan.) Times an opinion of Ingalls, when he
was first mentioned for senatorial honors,
as follows: He is IA brilliant writer and
speaker cold, heartless, unprincipled, who
would tell lie and relish it more than in
telling the truth"
There is nothing creditable to either Sen
ator ingalls, or Col. Piatt in their exhibi-
tions of billingsgate, but in view of Ingalls,
sef-assuIued censorship of and self-asserted
superiority to his fellows, it is interesting
to noUe that he has not escaped that vitu-
peration which he is not at all stingy in APP
plying to others

The Rice Schedule.

Representative Elliott of South Carolina
made an excellent impression on the house
on Tuesday by his able defense of the rice
duty as fixed in the Mills bill, and, accord
ing to the reports in the dispatches, he was
strongly supported by Representative
Turner of this state What sort of a figure
would Robert Small, who is contesting Col.
Elliott's seat, have cut had he been in the
latter's places 1t is quite safe to say that
the rice interest would have received no
assistance from him He would have been
willing enough, perhaps, to have done what
he could, but what could he have donea 1t
is doubtful if he would have understood the
point at issue
The Mills bill makes an average reduction
of about IA per cent. in the tariff duties
The reduction which it makes in the duty
on rice, however, is about Is per cent 1t
cannot be said, therefore, that rice does not
bear its full share of the reduction which
the tariff reformers propose to make The
republicans, however, would like to put
rice on the free list because it is a southern
production. Col. Elliott answered their at
tacks upon the rice interest very neatly by
saying: "The republican party is today
preparing to reduce the duty on rice in be-
half of their new found brethren, the
Chinese, to whom they have also given a
candidate for the presidency, and their
course in this debate shows that they are
abandoning their old colored friends in the
south for their new found friends, the
Chinese
The argument that some of the republi-
cans advanced, that as the northern farmers
wheat was not protected tho souther II
farmers rice should not be, was without
point. 1t costs about as much to cultivate
an acre of rice as an acre of wheat is
worth, and the wheat farmer does not have
to compete in this country with the foreign
wheat grower, while the rico farmer has
to compete with the foreign rice grower.
If there were a duty of 81 bushel on
wheat the wheat farmer would not be
benefited
In the effort to reduce the tariff the rice
growers are willing that the rice duty
shall bear its proportion Of the reduction
but they object to its bearing more than its
proportion.

Tho campaign in Indiana will be an in
tensely exciting one. The republicans are
preparing to make extraordinary efforts to
carry the state while the democrats are
harmonious and enthusiastic, feeling that
victory will perch upon their banners if
they make no mistakes.
The republicans count on state pride help
ing their ticket Their candidate for pres
ident is not popular with the labor element,
and the chief labor organ OF the state is
against him. They are relying, however,
on the organization of their party, which
they propose to make as perfect as possible,
and upon a popular state ticket. Their
present programme is TO nominate candi-
date for governor who is strong with the
workingmen aud a candidate for state treas
nrer who will satisfy the German element.
The democrats will take care that their
state ticket is popular one, and they will
not be behind the republicans in the
thoroughness of their party organization.
They have in their ranks some Of the ablest
politicians in the country, and they know
the methods by which a large vote can be
brought out.
Ex-senator Mcdonald, in an interview a
day or two ago, said that there were about
200 straight democratic votes in the
state, and that the republicans could muster
1876, 900 votes. According to his figures
there are about o, 900 floating votes. The
main fight will be for these floating votes,
and Mr.. Mcdonald thinks that the demo
Gratis, by proper management and work,
can get the majority of them.
One thing in the favor of the democrats
is the popularity of Mr.. Cleveland with tho
floating vote. He has made such an ad-
mirable President, and has given the coun-
try such a safe and economical adminstra-
ton, that there is nothing to be said against
him. The voter, therefore, who has no
strong party convictions will be apt to
vote in favor of letting well enough alone
instead of a change. 1t is quite safe to say
that Mr.. Cleveland's popularity will offset
the advantage, which Gen. Harrison has,
of being resident of tho state. The con
test, however, will be a pretty close one,
and the campaign will be SO vigorous and
enthusiastic that very few voters will neg
lect to cast their ballots
