INGALLS, SPEECH.

The Omaha Republican so nearly gives
our own views on Senator ingalls, speech
in the senate Tuesday that we reproduce
its comment upon IT.
Senator Ingalls, hung up row of Con-
federate hides yesterday for the edifca-
ton of packed senate and gallery, with
that of Senator Vest of Missouri at the
top. His speech had been anticipated
with a great deal of pleasure by those
who had heard or read with Indignation
the repeated attacks which have been
made during the present session by eX-
Confederates upon Union soldiers, living
and dead, and it was in no respect disap-
pointing. 1t was as complete payment
of the devil in his own coin as could be
asked for, and loyal men who question
the wisdom of the speech will not sane
ton its justice.
But why should its wisdom be ques-
toned by loyal men? Is it the duty of
Republicans to sit quietly in their seats
and hear the men who saved the Union
misrepresented and villitied by those who
attempted to destroy it, or if they make
defense, to be ''mealy mouthed' for fear
they will be accused of reviving sectional
feeling? The north can't afford to bury
the fruits of the war in the grave with
sectional strife SO long as the repre-
sentatives of the south in congress per
sist in clarifying the lost cause and in
waving the flag of treason detiantlv in
the faces of loyal men, SO long ii is the
duty of the latter to rebuke the former.

CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY.

Prominent New York fnanciers who
have recently been IN this city and who
have been looking into the financial stu
alton in southern Kansas, have expressed
their qualification at finding much
more stable and satisfactory condition
of things than they had been led to ex-
pect from reports that had reached them
in the east. These gentlemen. who oc-
cupy foremost positions among New
York bankers, had heard the grossly ex-
aggerated reports about the enormous
sums that We're to fall due in southern
Kansas on January l, last, upon mort
cages and deferred payments, and not
knowing that the reports were false, they
We're led by them to expect that tinan-
cial crash would certainly occur. They
say that such crash was confidently
looked for in important financial circles
in the east. Time passed by and
the financial crash did not appear. and
now these gentlemen find upon personal
inspection that no conditions existed
here to justify these paniclsy anticipa-
tons. They find that the proportions of
the credit transactions in real estate
We're grossly overstated. They find that
the proportions of cash transactions in
real estate We're greatly under estima-
ted. They find that little or no embar-
rassment has been caused by efforts to
meet deferred payments upon real prop
erty. They find the development of the
country moving along at pace that
would Of itself refute the existence of
embarrassing financial conditions. They
find here country of peculiar
resources and conditions-a country
so unique in the excellence Of its
climatology and products as to salts
factorily explain the unusual rapidity of
its development and the attendant rapid
enhancement of property values. In a
word, they find that southern Kansas
so-called boom rests upon foundation
of solid and substantial value, and that
no apprehensions need be felt that the
development by legitimate enterprises
will be choked by any sort of financial
collapse.
The opinions of these gentlemen are
significant and will have great weight in
counteracting false ideas that exist in
the east regarding the stability of south
ern Kansas development. II is a
pleasure, also, to add that their opinions
of Wichita's resources and commercial
advantages are most ttattering.

COTTON GROWING IN SOUTHERN
KANSAS.

Mr.. Henry burst, of Medicine Lodge
an experienced man in the cotton bust
ness and who owns the cotton gin at
fine Lodge, made us a brief call yester-
day, bringing letter Of introduction.
Glr. ID. says cotton growing promises to
be successful in Southern Kansas. The
crop last year proved very successful.
The heat and drouth which effected corn
in so many locations disastrously had
but little effect on the cotton which ma
tured well, the bolls continuing to open
until in November, long after thels first
frosts. His six years experience in cot
ton in Alabama warrants him in the as
sertion that cotton in Southern Kansas
will prove a success, and he is anxious
that some steps be taken to furnish the
farmers of this regi o II with seed in time
for this years planting, which ought to
be made from the middle of April to the
first of Nav

THE TWO BUILDERS.

MATT. Z, 24-27.
Two brothers walking by my side,
One shall perish and one abide;
II build me- says one, ''a house of rest,
Tho "a humble cot, me thinks it best
To build on this rock, so deep and strong,
Away from the busy, busting throng."
''Fie! fie my brother, this pleasant plain
Is smooth and good for our houses twain,
My house shall be gorgeous, rich and
grand:
Marvel of beauty to all the land:
/ tremble not for my stately dome,
Why should you fear for your cottage
home:"
NAY. nay my brother, this rock shall be
For "A sure foundation unto me;
Tho my house be small, of simple form,
Twill stand secure thro' the widest
Storm"
The other answered, ''tbis place is fair,
And for winds and storm why should l
care?"
Two brothers building on rock and plain;
To one shall be loss. the other gain.
IT'S finished. the mansions gorgeous
dome;
IT'S finished, the humble cottage home.
The days and weeks 90 swiftly by:
They stand secure meath the summer sky.
And herald the swiftly coming gale:
The wild winds blow and the streams in
crease:
The morning dawns ere the storm has
ceased:
But where is the mansion, grand and fair,
That stood in the balmy, summer air.
It's gone; by the food was swept away
The toll. the labor of many day.
But firm and strong, thro' the storm and
wind,
BY the morning light we look and find,
Secure from the tempest-shOck,
Stands the cottage home on the solid rock.
My brother, the voice Of our Savior is still
Inviting our thoughts to His words and
His Will.
If we hear and obey we build on a rock,
Secure from the storm and fierce tempest
shock.
If we hear and obey not His blest COM
mand.
We are building our house on the shifting

westward the star of empire takes
Its way" So wrote Bishop Berkley a
hundred years ago and the worlds his
tory since then has abundantlv verified
the prediction. The old Parsee fire-wor-
shippers, who We're and still are really
worshippers of the sun as the source of
life and light and power, taught that the
direction of all growth in population in
town, city and country is always toward
the west. or following the sun in its
course. An old Parsee priest once aston
ished an American traveller bv telling,
him that not a single large city in Amer
lea but had followed or obeyed this ire
Eistable law. We find this too true in
the case of Boston. New York. Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati, Chicago. st. Louis. etc.
When a river has established a western
barrier, that river has been leaped and
the growth has continued on the other
side. We know of business men who
always invest. if at all. in property on
the western side of the city or town. be-
cause their observation has taught them
that this view is true. How nearly the
parallel is drawn at Wichita it is not
necessary to comment upon.

Sir William Jones, Judge of the SUI

OF the Bible: Il have carefully and reg

the opinion that this volume, independ-

sublimity, purer morality, more import
ant history, and finer strains of elo-
quence. than can be collected from all
other books, in whatever language writ

Judge in this matter may be inferred
from the fact that this man was &C
quainted with twenty eight different
languages and with the best works pub
Eshed in most of them. The greatest

but we are sorry to say that the follow
ing looks little shaky: The light
merchandise exports and the unpopular
ty, for the time. of American railroad
securities in Europe because of the
strikes, promise to cause an outward
movement of gold in a few days. The
tendency of that metal for the past two
years has been strongly in the direction
of this country. The United States paid
out a little over s., 1000. 900 in goldin the
twelve months ending with January, and
took in nearly S42 100000 The country
could give little of its species to Europe
now without much injury were it not for
the treasury boarding of currency, which
has been resumed. The latter move
ment. however, will probably soon be
arrested by legislation.

The other day the Louisville Courier
Journal told us that Mr.. Cleveland re-

shall be needed for that work, Now it
avows its own belief that Mr.. Cleveland
is 1.-THE agent under God for the re-
demption of the country from corpora
tions. If this evolutionary process goes
on at this rate until November where
will it stop: The idea is borrowed from
the asseverationS of the late Emperor
William, who claimed that he was ruler
of Germany by divine right.
