INGALLS, ON CLEYFLAND.


Senator Ingalls,, speaking to cor
respondent of the New York Sun, said
of President Cleveland, that while he
did not accuse him of lack of patriot
ism or love of injustice, he was narrow
in conception and his view of things
unilateral or one-slded. AS his narrow
conception and unilateral views con-
corning the only great question that at
present divides the parties are shared
by the democratic party, and some
very able men in the republican party,
it is questionable whether he is subject
to the harsh impeachment of the SEN
atOr. 1t may in turn be retOrted by
democrats that the view of the tariff
taken by leading republicans is narrow,
and that the idea that it is necessary to
the perpetuity of American industries
is unilateral. Whether the presidents
confidence in his own abilities, his self
reliance and disposition to lead amount
to colossal egotism,'' as charged by
Senator ingalls,, may well be doubted.
Too many men qualified to judge have
pronounced a different verdict, for us
to take the produced statements of the
senator as ex-cathedra and conclusive.
But should we do so, should we agree
that Cleveland is overcharged with
colossal egotism,'' with ''impassive
and imperturbabIe self-esteem, - and
that he is marrow in conception" and
''unilateral in view" as well as pos

REV. DEAN ADAMS of Wichita, in a
sermon against prohibition lately de-
liYered IN that city, scored the Phari-
sees and hypocrites," as he called
them, the fellows who elbowed the AL
mighty from his rightful place and with
statutes and penalties supplanted Cos
pei precepts and:innumerable religious
aids to raise those that fall by the way
and lake them better. He dashed I'M
mercifully the people who say of their
brethren as the Pharisees of old said of
Christ: He is a glutton and wine
bibber." 1t requires considerable cour-
age, we should say, in minister to
oppose the prohibition doctrine in Kan
sas, but this reverend gentleman does
it in the most fearless manner.

WHIT CONGREss HAs DONE.


The congress which ended Saturday
at O'Clock was notable IN many re-
spects, for its length, for the great
number of bills and joint resolutions
introduced and for the small number
of them that were acted on, or enacted
into law.
In the house IL ,59s bills and 23O joint
resolutions were presented. and in the
senate 3,64I bills and 621 joint
resolutions, making in all 1885 meas
ures introduced during the session.
In the senate 1884 measures were
reported back by the committees and
placed on the calendar, while in the
house of the IL ,s2S measures offered.
only 1888 were reported back by the
committees.
And yet great as was the number Of
measures offered and placed ON the
calendar, il is not as remarkable as
the smallness of the number that be-
came laws. In the light of the result,
the practice of introducing such an ex-
traordinary multiplicity of bills seems
ridiculous in the extreme.
One can count on the fingers of both
hands the measures of public interest
that congress- enacted into laws. What
is more remarkable than all else is
that the one great question that now
divides parties as an impossible chasm,
as a wall of fire, that monOpoliZed the
attention of congress almost to the ex-
clusion of everything else, now slumbers
in the senate, and remains to vex and
harass parties as well as business. The
tariff question overshadOwed every
thing else, in as well as out of congress.
Yet, nothing was done with it. A great
effort was made. Eight months were
given in the house to incubatinG, de-
batting and passing tariff measure. 1t
went to the senate and that body said
''No; it shall not become a law" And
there it is now to stay, while the work
! of last session has to begin de novo
and be gone over again in all its details.
Among the laws passed were the fol-
lowing: Changing the date of the
meeting of the electoral college; to pre-
vent the return of Chinese laborers to
this country; to create boards Of arbi.
tration to settle controversies between
common carriers and their employees;
requiring the Pacific railroad to main.
tain telegraph lines: for an interna-
tional maritime conference; to estab-
lish department of agriculture and
labor; to make General Sheridan gen.
eral of the army; for conference with
the countries of Central and South
America; for division of the Sioux
reservation, and a Law relating to the
permissible marks on mail matter.

The board of directors OF the Atch-
ison. Topeka s. Santa Fe railway have
issued a circular to the stockholders
stating the additions to the road since
January LIST. 1888, have amounted to
2,778 miles. During the same time
locomotive and new rolling stock has
been acquired in value to So, 2SS 900.
The company now owns, exclusive Of
its interest In the Atlantic s. Pacific
railroad and its roads in Kansas owned
jointly with tho Union Pacific and st.
Louis s. San Francisco, $751; miles.
Its bonded indebtedness above milage
averages is less than go, $50 per mile
and the capital stock is less than s11, =
500 per mile
The circular reviews the causes which
have served to depreciate the earnings
of the road and states that the closing
up of this new construction
comes at trying period.
The present net floating indebted
ness does not exceed FIVE million.
exclusive of 81 10000 for coal etc.
The funding of this Indebtedness, it
has been decided to postpone until a
more favorable period. but in the
meantime to protect the company q
guarantee fund of 81 .OOO. 900 has been
subscribed. Money on which will be
called to any extent necessary. Sub
serlbers will receive the companies
notes at par for any money they pay
bearing six per cent interest and run
ming three years but with The privi-
Iege of prepayment reserved. Be-
ieved this guarantee is ample to pro
tect liabilities and it is agreed that
the amount of those notes may be
increased to a sum not exceeding S10,-

notes are secured by Il second mort
gage, Atchison main lines Kansas

Along with this circular, or rather
preceding it, was the cut of 20 PEI
cent on expenses, whereby many hum
bred men were thrown out Of employ
ment and the hours of those working
cut down to nine day. On Saturday
another cut was made in the Topeka
shops and 200 men were laid off. A

Modern Progress.

We live in an era of progress. In
every department of business, in the
arts, sciences and mechanics, new
things are constantly being discovered,
new facts developed, old theories dis
PEELED, old methods discarded. Inven-
tive genius was never more active or so
successful as to-day.
This progress in all things, has, of
course, pervaded the professions of
pharmacy and medicine. The result is
that there has been great change in
the method of preparing, combining
and administering curative agents.
Many articles extensively used by our
fathers and physicians of forty years
ago, and supposed to contain great
remedial value, have been discovered
to be either absolutely inert, or, per-
haps, actually injurious to tSe human
system. For instance, mercury was
a component part of many OF the med
icines taken by our fathers; now it is
known to be an injurious drug, and its
use is avoided as much as possible.
What folly it is then, to talk of the
''old time remedies - or to claim sup
perior virtue in the medicines of our
fathers" Those ancient formulas
have had their day and must be allowed
to rest with the dead past, where they
elong.
What to-day needs is medicine of
to-day and for to-day. This is exactly
what Hoods SarSaparilla is. 1t is en-
phaticaIly a modern medicine,-a COM
binatiOn of vegetable remedies, all of
which long experiment and study have
proven to he of positive value. Hood s
Sarsaparilla is also prepared by men Of
to-day, experts whose education, eXper-
fence, bfain-Work, and time, with the
light of modern developments, have
made as much more competent than
their fathers to prepare reliable med
lcine as can be imagined.
Farther than this, not content to
| follow in cid ruts, and take for granted
whatever was told them. these men
have by long and patient study devel-
oped a combination. proportion and
preparation in producing Hoods Sar-
| sapariIIa which gives to this medicine
| curative power peculiar to itself.
What is the evidence of this peculiar
curative powerp 1t is seen and heard
| of every day in the wonderful cures
which Hoods Sarsaparilla is effecting
often where other remedies have failed
to have any effect.
The supreme Importance of purifying
the blood, and the peculiar efficacy
which Hoods SarsapariIla has in this
direction, make it the most valuable
medicine of modern times.
We hope everyone needing good
medicine. who reads this article, wit
take Hoods SarsaparIlla. We an
confident it will give perfect satisfac
ton.

MIGHT.

Hon. David ovsrmysr at the Whitley Monday
Night.
The above named gentleman, who is
ambitious to succeed Hon. Thomas
Ryan as Congressman from this dis
trict, stood Monday night be-
fore a packed house at
the Whitley. Quite extensive
preparations had been made in his
honor by the democrats of this city. A
torch-light procession, headed by the
band, marched through the streets be-
tween and o'clock, after which the
band went upon the stage of the opera
house and entertained the audience
with some choice airs until the opeL-
ing of the meeting.
The stage was festoOned with flags
and the presidents portrait hung in
the middle. Beneath it was inscribed
in large letters, 1.-THE Peoples Candi-
date.''
Mr.. T. G. Whitley acted as chairman
and introduced the speaker, who dis
cussed the matters at issue between
the two parties for two hours. His
attention was given mainly to the
tariff, as matter of course. That he
discussed in an able and eloquent man
ner. The pronounced feature of his
speech was the profusion of repub-
lican proofs adduced to justify tariff re-
duction.
Mr.. Overmyer is very interesting
speaker, whose style is taking and die
tion pleasing. Although short in stat
ure, he has q commanding bearing, a
splendid voice, and even in whispering
can make himself distinctly heard
He is one of those men who can always
interest an audience,
j. M. McCown followed Mr.. Over
myer in half hours discussion of state
and county politics. in which he called
attention to the fact that there publican
candidate for governor, for state sena-
tor from this senatorial, district and for
representative for this county are all
bankers. and asked if these were the
men to carry out the recommendations
OF their platform respecting the reduc-
ton OF interest.
