tee and he was confirmed, and is drawing
the $4,000 year from the property hOl-
ders. Ingalls, indignation Immediately
suhsided. II Is great outrage for
democratic c0lored man TO rob the pub
lie, but all right for a republican one 20
do the same. Curious, isn't IL? An in
come Of $4,000 a year for four years will
enable man TO contribute literally TO
fund to secure his reelection TO the Sem
ate.
With the almost absolute control Of
corporations paying big dividends on
watered stock and having large sum on
hand for contingent purposes, with others
wanting charters, and with syndicates all
around booming their property at public
expense, the craftsmanship Of the District
committee is desirable position for one
who knows how TO use ii and isn't over
scrupulous. Is It any wonder he wants
20 be reelected, and TO retain the posi-

citlZen8 ana the government was Bucn
that the commissioners felt justified In
closing the contract and did 80. Imme'
diately the old electric light company
and the gas company united and applied
TO the court for an injunction TO restrain
the commissioners, on the ground that
under their contracts, which we're for the
year only, they had a monopoly Of the
business, and that therefore the commits
si0ners could not contract with other
parties, even for the future A tempo
rary injunction was granted, and from
that day 70 this the new company has
tried to get hearing on the case, but in
vain. In the meantime they applied to
Congress for a charter, and the applica-
tion was Of course referred 10 Ingalls,
committee.
AT the time set for the hearing Ingalls,
as usual remained away for a consldera-
BILE time, keeping the committee waiting.
At last he appeared and announced that
the company could have f0e minutes In
which TO present their case. II was soon
apparent that a majority Of the commit
too was In favor Of giving the new com
pany a chance TO compete, whereupon In
gals arose in a huff and left the room.
The upshot Of the matter Is that moth
ing has been done, and the old monopo-
lies are still masters Of the situation.
Gan any honest man believe, in view Of
these facts, that he Is actuated solely by
a desire to advance the public interestsY
Why should he seek to prevent the pub
lie from having the benefit Of this COM
petltionp Why seek to overawe the COM
missioners, and why Insist on making the
public and the government pay more
than was necessary for It's supply Of gas
and electricity for light and powerH Men
don't usually act in that way without a
reason, and what the reason ls In. this
case every one can judge for himself.
SO Of the liquor question. For years
the temperance people and all respecta-
BILE citizens have tried to get his commit
tee to do something TO lessen the num-
Der Of liquor saloons, there being about
1000 places where liquor is sold at whole
sale or retail In the District, among which
are a large number Of bawdy houses and
low dives, resulting in more murders,
shooting and cutting affairs in proper
tion to the population than almost any
city in the United States.
A couple Of years ago petitions were
presented TO his committee asking that
the question of prohibition might be sub
mltted to vote Of the people Of the Dis
trlct, il being supposed that he would
favor II, inasmuch as he had written a
letter for publication showing what good
effects prohibition had had in Kansas.
The result was a denial of the request,
accompanied by the statement that 3
high license bill would be adopted in
stead-the hotel men having united in a
petition that the license fee should be
$1,000 instead Of SlOO as at present,
A high license bill was proposed by
another member, and II was approved by
a majority of the committee and ordered
reported to the Senate for adoption, That
was over two years ago, but IL was never
brought before the Senate, aud though
the committee had the bill printed FOR
It's use, yet when copy was sought for
use this session % could not be found

About that same time the chief Of po-
lice was removed or compelled 10 resign,
because ii was reported that no had init
mated that certain public men We're In
the habit Of visiting houses Of i'll fame;
and though he or his friends appealed 10
Ingalls, as chairman Of the District COM
mittee 10 give him an opportunity 10 show
the facts by an investigation, he declined
10 do anything about II, although mt this
session Senator Plumb has called for all
the papers In relation to the investiga-
tion and trial by the commissioners Of a
lieutenant Of the police. Why this diff
ference in the action Of the two Senators
from Kansas?
The foregoing are but samples OF his
action as chairman Of the committee on
the District Of Columbia for years past,
II will readily be seen that his whole ac-
tion from first TO last has been In the in
terest Of the corporations, syndicates and
outside speculators, and against the in
terests Of the mass Of the taxpayers and
Of the government, which now defrays
nearly one-half Of all the expenses Of the
District.
II Is the furthering Of these schemes
and jobs for the sole benefit Of corpora.
tions and speculators that has occupied
his time and induced him to ''trayel over
every foot Of land in the District and
not the benefit Of the public ms Mrs.
Huntley would have the public believe.
AS another illustration of his arduous
efforts to serve the people Of the District,
take the case Of the recorder Of deeds
This officer, like all others in the District,
is appointed by the president, although
his salary, which is from fees, is paid en-
tirely by the property holders Of the Dis
trict.
AS Is we'll known President Cleveland
appointed negro. Ingalls, and the com
mittee reported against his confirmation,
and the Senate refused TO confirm him.
Then Cleveland appointed another negro
from Boston who had served in the army,
whereupon ingalls,, not desiring TO OPP
pose m army man, reported fayorably,
and he was confirmed. Owing to the
boom in bonds the fees of the Office in
creased enormously, and the newspapers
and citizens began TO kick. AT the be-
ginning Of the present session Ingalls,
called on the recorder for statement of
the receipts and expenses Of the Office,
and it showed that his net receipts over
and above all expenses was forty Hou-
sand doJidrs yedr-equal to the salary
Of eight senators, and only one.tilth less
than that Of the president.
OF course Ingalls, was up on end at
such an outrage, The newspapers fairly
brlstled with denuncation in his inter
views with the reporters Of this public
robbery. II should be corrected at once
of course it should December 10Th
Senator Dawes introduced bill abolish
ing the fee system and substituting a sal
ary Of $4,000 year. January goth In
gals introduced another reducing the
fees simply. AS far back as 1886 bill
like that of Senator Dawes had been in
troduced, and it with both these others
were referred to Ingalls, committee; and
though attention has again and again
been called 10 the matter, neither bill has
ever been reported from his committee.

Condensed Report of Proceedings in the
 Senate and House.
 WASHINGTON, March S1.-The senate will take up the Montana election contest today. It will be debated probably for two days, and the Republican contestants Saunders and Powers) will be seated probably by strict party vote. When the election cases are out of the way the dependent pension bill will be debated and disposed of. The undervalu- ations bill follows this on the order of busi- ness, but it will hardly be reached this week. Saturday will likely be devoted to the consideration of bills on the calendar. Several set speeches on political and econom- ic questions are expected at odd times. At some time, probably early in the week, the Florida nominations will be taken up again in secret session.
 The Worlds fair committe has not been called together by Senator Hiscock, but it will meet doubtless during the coming week and it may agree upon a report within the next two weeks.
 The house will begin the week with indi- vidual suspension day, and members having bills in which they are interested can call them up for passage on recognition by the speaker. The programme for the rest of the week will not differ greatly from that of last week. The Republican members of the committee on territories intend to bring up another statehood bill for consideration, that providing for the admission of Idaho. The Democrats will oppose the bill on the grounds on which they opposed the Wyom- ing bill which was passed by the house last week. The army appropriation bill will be further considered and passed, and it is pos sible that the Notifications appropriation bill will be taken up for consideration On Thursday, beginning at 8 o'clock, the house will hear eulogies on the late Samuel Sulli- van Cox, and on Saturday, beginning at 8 in the afternoon, similar exercises in honor of the late Representative Newton W. Mutt ing, of New York, will take place.
