INGALLS, INTERVIEWED.

Senator Ingalls,, in recent interview,
gets off some good sense, with the ex-
ception that the next to the last SEN
tence is not wholly true. He says
War? No, we shall have no wars.
With whom should we fight? And for
what? We have no dangerous neigh
bors and no dependencies, nor colonial
possessions. We are too powerful and
too necessary to the happiness and sus-
tenance of mankind. We are at once the
most pacific and most martial of the
nations, but our relations with France
are those of fraternity; with Germany
and Austria of cordial amity. We have
40 enemy but England and she is too
Vulnerable in every quarter of the globe
and on every sea to go to war with us.
We have an unsettled score with Great
Britain for her malevolent insolence,
but nothing is so improbable as war.
Hence there is no need of costly arma-
ments. Our standing army is only a
national police force, and the demand
for navy comes from contractors,
from maritime cities whose pusillani-
nous population pretend to believe
that their accumulatiOnS are in danger
from foreign irOnclads and from CON-
munities adjacent to ship and navy
yards who desire to profit by such en-
terprise. In ten years the ships we are
building will be worthless, either for
attack or defense. The millions we
are spending might as well be with the
gentleman, whose name have forgot
tOn-at the bottom of the sea. With
every industry depressed and general
cutlery for economy in administration,
in time of profound peace, we are dis
patching costly fleets, at an enormous
daily expenditure, on luxurious pleas
ure excursions, to play spectacular
parts in the pageantry of the sea; ex
changing entertainments and hospitali-
ties with other potentates, drinking
and carousing in foreign ports, upon
the preteXt that such performances are
necessary for the national honor and
national defense. believe demo-
cratic administration claims the dis
tinction of inaugurating the policy of
squandering our resources under the
theory that we must be prepared to
protect ourselves against some unknown
danger 1t is as absurd as it would be
for the secretary of the navy TO start
on his morning walk down the avenue
with Winchester over his shoulder, a
pair of revolvers in his belt and bowie
knife in each boot upon the idea that
some ruffian might attack him before
reaching the capitol"

POISON IN WATER.
The Cause Of Much sickness in Towns and
Cities.

The Cause OF Much Sickness In Towns and
Cities.
The salts of leads are poisonous.
Small doses of them do not cause death.
but they are not readily eliminated
from the system, especially if the elm
mating organs are weak. That which
Is taken into the system remains, and a
great many minute doses finally have
the effect of one large dose.
In other words, the salts of lead are
cumulative" poisons.
Persons sometimes have all the symp-
toms of lead-poisoning in an aggravated
form when they have not been aware
that they had taken poison at all,
and yet the gradual poisoning may have
been going on for years.
OF course, painters and workers in
white lead understand their exposure.
The chief unsupported source of danger
is drinkinR-water conveyed into the
house through lead pipes.
Among the symptoms of lead-poison-
ing are an@mia-defciency of blood
dull hue of the skin, digestive derange-
ments, a coated tongue, fetid breath,
nausea, collie and partial paralysis.
Lead-poisoning from drinking-water
Is far greater danger than it Is COM
monty supposed to be. A physician not
long ago analysed the water supplied to
one Of our large cities and detected lead
in the majority Of instances.
His attention was first directed to the
matter by the case of family, several
members of which were plainly suffer-
ing from lead-poisoning. The father
and son suffered from severe and fire.
quent collie, gastric disturbance and
muscular weakness
Analysis showed large amount of
lead in the water. Under appropriate
treatment and the use of pure spring
water for several weeks, the collie and
gastric symptoms disappeared, and the
general health improved.
In . family on another street a mother
and daughter had other characteristic
symptoms of this form of poisoning,
which gradually disappeared with the
use Of pure water and medical treat
ment
In the discussion Of these facts it was
suggested that while great many peo-
pie are exposed to the danger of lead
poisoning, the action of the kidneys is
generally strong and healthy, and the
poison is eliminated. Doubtless, too,
some persons are less susceptible to it
than others.
One physician expresses the opinion
that in many cases of nervous debility,
which have been ascribed to overwork,
insufficient nourishment ETC., the real
cause may have been lead in the drink
tpg. Water:
Danger of lead poisoning seems to in
crease for persons living st the top u
tenement-houSes
Water should never be drunk in the
morning without first having been al
lowed to run freely.-Feuth's Compan.

a Stevens county correspondent OF
the Florence Bulletin, says the aid bus
mess is gigantic fraud. One man
claims to have enough provisions to
last him two years: "a careful canvas
of the county revealed tho fact that
there were not more than 200 families
in stephens county that needed aid.
and yet there has been over 200 cars of
aid unloaded here for Stevens county
an the last five months, and still the
cars continue to come. A short time
ago and on a Wednesday night, a car
of laid arrived from Topeka consigned
to the county commissioners and con-
tanning l 400 pounds of -four, 200 bushels
of potatoes and other aid in proportion.
One man claimed two shares of the aid,
valJe ST5 share, and others claimed
more. The result was that they quar-
relied all night over the division of the
car. Another case of how badly they
need aid, is this: Seven carloads of coal
was sent to Stevens county; several of
the starving ~ men sold their coal for
So ton. Corn is traded for whisky.
One starving man while loading car
of corn into wagons, asked: Where
can buy some hogsY 1 raised fair
crop of corn but this is cheaper than
raising it, SO will buy hogs and feed
them" 1t will be but few weeks till
Stevens county will swear it never asked
for aid.

n. j. decker, of the Decker Manu-
featuring company, Fon du Lac, Wis
consip, writes to the Wichita Eagle:
Il once visited Kansas in the interest
OF the sorghum sugar industry, at which
time | predicted sweet future for
Kansas and am very proud of my pre-
diction as it is likely to be verified by a
rich sugar output. Kansas is likely in
the near future to furnish all the sugar
required by this country of sugar lovers
and thus save the hundred and fifty
millions OF dollars annually sent out of
the country for this product. And in
producing this you will need two hun
bred thousand more men to grow the
cane and convert il int sugar; you will
need two hundred thousand horses to
plow the land and cultivate the cane
and to haul it to the mills; you will
have hundred thousand more plows
running and as many cultivators; you
will need one hundred thousand wagons
and sets of harness; you will need ma
chinery and outfits which make up the
works which will mean foundries and
machine shops. And Wisconsin is
ready to trade you a-good share of the
parapbernalia and take sugar for it."

THE LID LIFTED.

st. Louis Republic: "The present
position of Mr.. M. S. Quay, chairman
of the republican national committee
IS one senator of the United States
cannot occupy. Since the republican
quarrel broke out in Pennsylvania, liz
formation against him has been fur
nished to New York newspapers which
accuse HIM of theft-not of fraud for
the benefit of his party. but of common
grand larceny IN his own behalf. In IA
recent issue the New York Evening
Post asserts, on information from
prominent men of both parties in
Pennsylvania that he engaged in d
conspiracy by which, through confed
crate, the cashier OF the state treasury
S26O,OOO was directly stolen from the
state-a sum which was afterwards
made good by Cameron and other
wealthy republicans to save the credit
of the party 1t is further charged
that when serving as treasurer after
this, Quay himself distracted $500, 900
from the treasury and applied 1t to his
personal speculation in bonds of the
North Chicago Railroad Company,
which proved profitable enough to en-
able him to return the stolen money.
Other charges of bribery and corruption
are made by the column, but these two
are sufficient to illustrate their general
character. Mr.. Quay is represented
throughout as drunkard, a gambler
and thief, and the New York Even
ing Post, in printing them, Endorses
them as true.
The source from which they emanate
is not doubtful. Several years ago the
leading republican paper of Pennsyl-
vanla threatened to lift the lid off
the state treasury in case Mr.. Quay did
not change his course. A compromise
was arranged and the lid was not lifted
off. But the division of spOils and the
presidents recognition of Quay as
patronage boss for the state has forced
a quarrel now beyond the scope of com
promise.
The lid is lifted Off accordingly.
| LIE Charges are maze WIN Sucn CIR
cumstantiality that even if it could be
supposed that they were wholly false,
it would be apparent that they could
have been made only by leading repub-
licans thoroughly familiar with all the
secret work of the party in the state.
IF they cannot be fully substantiated
Mr.. Quay can collect in damages from
New York newspapers, able to meet
judgments in cash, three times as much
as it is charged he stole. If they can
be substantiated, Mr.. Quay's republi.
can colleagues IN the senate will be
obliged to eXpel him. He is attempt
ing to ignore the indictments. 1t can
not be done. He must plead not guilty
and stand his trial, or else face the pen
atty on the evidence offered against
him. His proper course is to demand
an investigation in the senate at once
and enter suit against the newspapers
in connection with it. If he refuses tt
do either. the senate will be compelled
to investigate his record as matter Of
its own highest priViIege,'
