drnw the ioIIowlnp ooneIuaIona:

draw the following conclusions:
I. Every man who desires reform and
votes for the old parties throws away his
vote. Yes, more, he uses his utmost Of
fort to prevent reform, and 10 the enemy
instead Of the friend Of what he pro
fesses.
2. We cannot expect any reform from
the present incumbents in Congress and
legislatures. They will not cut their
own throats to please the "dear people,
3. We must have new congress and
new Legislature or must perish under the
policy OF shylock.
A. There is no dellverance except
through a new party and new men. The
republican party has done but two things

SENATOR INGALLS, AS A BROKER.

SENATOR lNGALLS AN bHOhhh'
Special 10 the Kansas City Times.
ABILENE, Kan, September 16.-Last
October the bank Of Lebold, Fisher %
Co., Of this place, also known as the Abb
lene bank, failed for something like
100000. In the investigation OF the az
fairs of the bank, begun here by the
creditors two weeks ago before Referee
Brown, facts we're developed that tend to
throw considerable light on some Of the
means Senator John J. Ingalls, employed
to accumulate the S5OO0OO which the
records show he is possessed Of. The In
vestigation conducted here develops the
the fact that Senator Ingalls, has been
feathering his nest by discounting Dick
lnson county farmers notes at rates cal
culated to sink the finest farm In the
state under the load imposed by the note
shaving Senator. President O. II. Le-
bold OF the wrecked bank, In his exam
ination before the referee, testified that
at different times between July, 1887, and
October, 1889, he had discounted DiclSin-
son county farmers paper at 18 per cent
interest--the state allows but 10 per cent
with money furnished by Ingalls, 70
the bank. The money was furnished for
that purpose, and the amount thus
placed he testified would aggregate S10,-
600 all told. The notes were made pay
able to Lebold, Fisher q Co., and we're
assigned to John ]. Ingalls,, who now
holds them and is probably meditating
how he can maintain a suit without ieop-
ardizing his political chances.
In the suit in which Lebold testified as
to Ingalls, note shaving j. H. Mahan was
attorney for the plaintiff and O. r. Mead
for the defendant. Both are rabid re-
publicans, and as soon as the drift OF
Lebold's testimony was discovered that
line OF inquiry was dropped at once, The
examination was not dropped soon
enough, however, and the farmers of
Kansas all over the state may know at
least one source of Senator Ingalls, great

my old party or shall go with the popu-
lar uprising and vote the peoples party
II these people do not want reform then
they will be suited in cutting their neigh
bors throats and sticking 10 the bosses
and taking In their Doodle. II these peo-
pie actually want reform and believe In
the justice Of the peoples cause, then we
have a few things 10 say 10 them. We
lay down these premises
/. No party will give us reform unless
that party wants reform.
2. No party can give us reform unless
the leaders and Legislators and party
bosses Of that party can agree to the re-
form needed. Now that the old parties
do not want to give us any reform Is
proved by the fact that all the leading
party papers are constantly mlsrepresent-
ing all the leaders Of the reform move
ment and for the sake Of Doodle sander
their fair name. That the whole associ-
ated press is under the dominion Of the
enemies Of reform
3. That during the entire session Of
Congress the demands Of 100000 reform.
ers have been before them and not one
request has been granted, But instead
of giving us free silver they have vir-
tually demonetized It, and left us moth
ing but gold and greenbacks that will be
legal tenders in paying future debts
This Is the defiant challenge Of Shylocks,
and means condscation to the northwest
A. We notice as a fourth evidence,
that they do not want reform, that they
are pouring their corruptlng Doodle into
the Congressional districts to hire repre-
sentatives to Congressional conventions
to support the same old Doodle candidates.
3. That while they have almost wholly
adopted the platforms Of the people, both
parties will make a fight over the same
old bone, and keep the people divided
II they want reform why don't they go
and vote for it and let all the people do
so? They don't want it, and they only
make platforms to catch gudgeOns and
preUeRt reforms.
9. They can not secure the reforms
needed and demanded if they really
wanted to, They can not agree to do
anything but tax the people. They can
not agree on high tariff, or free trade
Both parties are divided. They can not
agree TO the destruction Of the national
banks. GAY Because the caucus is con
trolled by banks. (b) They can not pass
a law TO that effect in Congress against
the ruling Of CaucusseS because the bank
ers have controlling vote.
7. They cannot pass law against
trusts, because many Of them are inter
ested in trusts, and were elected by their
money.
8. They cannot effect any re-
form, because controlling num-
ber have been elected in the
interest Of money, land and trans,
portation trusts, and many Of them are
actual participants in these trusts,
g. The parties and congress now in
power cannot secure the reform laws de
manded without condemning their past
acts Of legislation. They have neither
the will nor the honesty to condemn the
past criminal legislation. They know
that the demanded reforms would hold
up the past legislation Of Congress- as
disUracefully criminal. They do not

in this world or the next, do not expect
10 ask for more than Is honestly earned.
As the world Is looked upon to-day 10
seems 10 be understood that very strict
discipline must be maintained TO sustain
law and order; and from the teachings
and practices Of past ages, which encour'
aged strife, the people forever striving
after worldly possessions, the weak ever
relInquishing their rights TO the power
of the strong, we do not wonder that this
discipline ls 90 often brought into requi-
sition. With higher education u will

ligion; IL will help politics and will not

and women are trying TO devise some
plan whereby the condition Of the labor
ing class may be made better. 1t is GER
tainly time to be thoroughly IN earnest,
when one Of our ablest representatives
predicts such serious state OF things as
the end OF the present century will dis
close; and yet there are those who con
tend that the laws enacted are in favor Of
and In the interest Of the people. Now
we are forced TO believe from sad expe-
rlence that this Is not 30, and how can we
reasonably expect repeal Of these laws,
however bad, by the men who enacted
them? So change may be for the bet
ter. AT all events this uprising Of the
people will prove Il wholesome check TO
those in power. Nearly every demand
made Is met by the answer that 1t is un-
constitutional. Now il we have consti-
tuition making Congress powerless to
grant these measures Of relief, II would
be we'll TO amend II. To me it is a plain
confession that the constitution has been
violated and why have not the guilty
ones been condemned and punishedH /
believe the common people are 30 imbued
with this spirit of reform that they will
never allow themselves to settle down
into a state Of indifference, but will claim
and assert their right TO know for them
selves what is being done. There are
certain concealed forces, a something we
are not able to understand, and which
our representatives seem unable to resist,
a spell 30 potent that even those who go
to Congress with a firm determination TO
do right, yield TO temptation, and before
they are aware OF the mischief they have
done they are overcome by this evil In
fluence, and their fate 10 sealed. And
never will these lost souls realize the
misery they have helped to bring upon
their fellow men until awakened by the
crisis Of the oppressed; and when they
come to compare this with the good they
might have done their punishment will
be severe enough. Better an approving
conscience and the gratitude Of suffer
ing people than all the wealth of India,
or the mighty fame ever achieved by
man. The question is asked, will the

An Anclen, and Valuable violin.

An Ancient and Valuable Violin.
 Sarasate plays on violin made by tue master of all the instrument makers in the seventeenth century, Stradivarius. This vio- lin is of authentic workmanship and is the most valuable instrument used by any artiss' It was not loaned, as alleged, by the Spanish government. It is owned by Sarasate and Is insured for $15, ,0OO, although no set price can be placed on an instrument of this kind since 1t has a history and has seen court life m
 From what can be learned 1t was first owned by e cardinal, Di Rattucci, who It is believed played upon it with some degree or excellence. For nearly fifty years after the cardinals death it remained silent until the general distribution of the impoverished car- dinsls goods was made among his relations, snd there among the riff raf the violin found its way into Spain. The granduncle of Queen Isabella of Spain was a collector of musical instruments, and in this collection the now famous Sarasate vio- lin belonged until 1t was presented to the artist by her majesty some years ago. Sara sate never allows anyone even to touch his famous fiddle, and guards 1t as jealously as If 1t were the apple of his eye. Aside from its value the artist has genuine affection for the beautiful instrument, which can allowe be depended upon for mellowness of tone and indescribable quality of sweetness thai Is perfectly enchanting.
