Ingall a Plagarist.

: In the Kansas City Times of Sunday
last Chas. Carroll, of Carrollton, Mo-,
writes an article explaining beyond a
doubt that the famous ingalls, speech
in eulogy of James n. Burnes was
''cribbed" almost bodily from the SER
mon of French priest. Massillon, of
over 200 years ago. The Massillon
sermon, on Immortality, and
Ingalls, speech are printed side by side,
and the most common mind can take
in the fact that the latter is a
reproduction of the former, with a
slight changing of words to make the
priests sermon applicable to the present
day and age. And so, tue great
Kansas windbag has been palming off
as his own original thought the sermon
of a wise but defunct Frenchman!
How is the mighty fallenl There can
be no doubt of this charge being well
founded, for in an interview with the
Times reporter, on the 18th, ingalls,
says:
In my youth I began the study of
French without a master, and in vol
umn of exercises I found this with
other extracts credited to no one, which
l translated and copied in common
place book more than thirty years ago.
1 was struck by the stately and SOM
Der eloquence. 1t seemed to me then,
as it has always seemed to me since,
the most fOrcible and impressive pre-
sensations of the strongest argument
in support of the Immortality of the
human soul.
With the egotistical effrontery of the
political demagogue that he is, he
acknowledges that he stole his famous
Burnes eulogy, and thus advertises to
the world that in himself he does not
posses the wonderful mind and word
power so often attributed to him. If his
"original' ideas are not the production
of his own BRAIN; if the speeches that
have given him notoriety in the land
are not his own productions, though he
attempts to palm them off upon the
people as such, what is there to the man
to honor and respect?
Nothing, but his ability as party
whipcracker; nothing but his cute
yankee way of appropriating all things
to his own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
He is hollow sham-hollow because
the more wind he stirs up the louder
he rOars.

Congratulated Them.

Mr.. II. H. Tracy, whose marriage
was announced in last weeks Sentinel

prosperity.-Garden City Sentinel.

Il Nnllifes Prohibition.

The decision of the supreme court in
the Iowa case is of great importance,
prohibitionists. 1t nullifies every state
prohibitory law. A state may prevent
the manufacture of intoxicating liquor
within its borders, and it may also pre-
vent the sale of liquor by the glass, and
indeed in any quantities by one of its
own citizens to another: But it must
not interfere with the sale of liquor to
one OF its citizens by a.citizen of anoth-
er state. because this is an ACT of s'com-

THE much talked of ''original pack
age'' decision has wonderfully worked
up the people. It has many points
about 1t that are hardly understood by
the masses. In our opinion it is dead
ener' on prophibition as it now is, but
will eventually bring about the question
of national prohibition. Neither party
is, at the present time, liable to cham
pion national prohibition law; but the
sticklers for such a law will make an
effort to force such an issue. In the
course of the next eight or ten years
we look to see some strong agitation of
the question; but we don't expect to
live long enough to see national prohi-
bition. One good thing about it is
that it will force the republican party
to take sides nationally with the much
dispised ''third party prohibitionists,' y
to swallow all their enmity to those
political cranks" and join forces with
them in the fight for national prohibi-
ton. The result can easily be seen.
The great masses of the people do not
want prohibition, and the "third party
prohibitionists" will lead the old repub-
lican party to an early grave, already
open for it.

Jake Trester, of Eureka township.
took a trip down into Mcpherson
county last week, returning Tuesday.
He reports not near az much rain
down that way as we have had ia Bar
ton recently, and says their wheat will
not begin to compare favorably with
ours, either in acreage or condition.
They get better prices for stock than
our farmers do, but not any better for
grain.

YOU'D scarce expect one of my age
in merchandising to engage and hope
to get paying trade without the local
papers aid. And yet did that very
thing. I opened up store last spring
this month the sheriff took my stock
and sold it from the auction block.
Don't view me with scornful eye, but
simply say as pass by. There goes a
fool who seemed to think he had no use
for printers ink There is truth as
broad as earth and business men should
know its worth; it's simply this: The
public buys its goods from those who
advertise.

LAST week the Tribune of this city,
the organ for the W. G. T. o.. pub
lished list of some two hundred or
more names as signers to the petition
of three hundred citizens and tax pay
ers of this city and county asking that
the governor remit the fine of 80 days
imprisonment imposed by the Judge
of the district court upon Ed. Young,
found guilty of violating the prohibit
tory law. The names were mostly
wrongly spelled and mutilated,
whether with the intention of con-
cealing the real identity of the party
signing, or through gross ignorance.
we cannot say. Neither can we under
stand why some fifty or more of the
names were omitted. The following
paragraph appeared at the bottom of
the list:
1.-The foregoing is an exact copy of
the petition, which explains itself.
old Dog Tray will get into bad COM
pany and undoubtedly needs the care
of the w. G. T. W.
The petition is signed by most all of
the best citizens of the town, and this
attempt of the w. c. T. u. through
its chosen county organ, to cast slur
upon the gentlemen who signed it is
severely criticised by everyone.
It does appear to all fair minded
mon that when the w. G. T. q. sue
coded in falling their victim, max
ing him serve his thirty days and pay
fine and costs they ought to have been
satisfied. without making a wholesale
attack upon men who in many
instances, have expressed their SYM
pathy for the women. We doubt if
there is signer to that petition who
regrets his action, and many have
expressed themselves as being now
more willing than before to sign such a
petition.

THERE seems to be tendency for
the people to think that the late rebel
lion was squelched by the republican
party and that the democrats in the
union army were in the great minority.
This is absolutely false. by careful
examination it has been found that
there were 234 ,847 more democrats
than of any other party in the Union
army during the civil war. This may
be astonishing to some but is fact,
still they are talking about the demo-
Gratis as being rebels, traitors etc.

A CORNER IN ICE.

There is nothing so essential to health
and comfortable living in the summer
as ice, and yet that modern octopus, the
Trust, is about to lay its hand on the ice
supply, with view of profiting by the
ice famine in certain localities. Negoti-
ations are now pending between the
local dealers and representative of the
ice trust by which the local supply is to
be absorbed by the trust. The consum-
ers are powerless to prevent the deal,
and will have to take what comes. 1t is
possible that the local dealers, or some
of them. may hold out against the bland
iShments of the trust, but it is barely
possible. Human nature is human
nature the world over, and will assert
itself. And human nature will assert
itself next season when the consumers
will refuse to patronize the firms that
now play into the hands of the trust.
There is no shortage in the ice crop of
the Northwest, Notwithstanding the as
sertions to the contrary. Last winter
was an open one, it is true, yet there
was an abundant ice crop, and of a
most excellent quality. There is no
reason why as abundant asupply should
not have been laid in as in former
years. Still there has been pretty gen
eral complaint among consumers that
they have been sparingIy served this
summer. Business is business. and if
the local dealers expect to retain their
patronage they must be prepared to
''tote falr' one year with another, 9th
erwise the field will be an encouraging
one for new competitors.

THE OBJECT OF 1T.

In the discussion in the senate upon
the admission of Wyoming, the Demo
Gratis insisted that there was no evil
dence that it had reasonable popula-
ton. The Republican claim that it
had $4,000 was not suggested by the
5000 votes cast on the constitution, one
third of them by women. 1t was re-
piled that the day of election was VIC
lently stormy SO that the voters could
not get out. This was shown by the
signal service records to be untrue. 1t
was pleasant day. The only evasion
of this was to assail the weather service
as unreliable. But the fact was made
evident that the reason for the haste in
the admission was purely partisan
The new state would be reliably Re-
publican. The admission was probably
accelerated by the apprehension that
the census will show a popula-
ton absurdly insufficient for
state. 1t will be remembered that
for twenty-five years Wyoming has had
the Union Pacific railroad extending
through it, and yet it has but few min
ing towns and some cattle ranches. Its
voting population includes all the
women and Mormon element. 1t
may be that recent impulses have been
pushing it forward in development, and
that it will afford evidence of becoming
a reasonably fair member of the Union.
There should be very urgent local need
to allow statehood to community that
has not half the ratio for member of
congress. 1t can only be warranted in
view of the most positive assurances of
rapid growth. The purpose in view is
evidently to make the senate so strongly
