many important trusts. Now that he
is again before the people as a candi-
date for reelection 10 the United
States senate il would seem not out
of place that the people should calmly,
CONSIDERABLY and dispassionately OK
anime the record OF his stewardship
and sec how well he has served the
interests OF his constituents. In this
examination we should diVest our
selves Of all prejudiCes arising from
former partisan associations, and be
governed alone by an honest desire TO
know the facts, and 10 determine the
true merits and demerits Of the man.
His ability is not called in question:
and il his public acts have been such
AZ to identify him with the interests
Of his constituents, IL he has advocat-
cd and voted for such measures as
would legitimately promote their in
terests; il, in short, he has been true
to the trusts Confded to his keeping,
there should be but one opinion as to
his reelection. II, on the other hand,
il shall appear upon investigation
that he has been recreant TO his trust;
il during his long official career it
shall appear that he has not advocat-
cd or voted for measures which con
Germ the interests of the people, but
has supported with his voice and his
vote the interests OF the money power,
then should the verdict be against
him.
In its opposition to his reelection
THE ADVOCATE is actuated by none Of
the motives which usually underlie
opposition TO candidates in political
contests. We have as yet no name TO
suggest as a successor to Mr.. Ingalls,.
Our opposition is not Of a personal or
political character. We are actuated
neither by prejudice or desire to serve
the interests of another. We have
simply looked over the record Of Mr.
Ingalls, public life and found that he
has served other interests rather than
those of his constituents. We have
read the declaration of the priclples
by which his political life is governed,
and we find them unworthy Of the
approval Of honest men. Upon these
causes, and these alone, we base our
opposition. We will therefore a2-
pend below our indictment against
the senator. IL IL be found upon in
vestigatiOn true bill thsn il must be
apparent that the interests Of the
people demand his retirement, If on
the other hand his friends can show
that il is not a true bill we promise to
withdraw our objections and unite
with them in urging his recollection.
This is certainly a fair proposition,
and we here and now challenge his
supporters to the contest. We have
this to say, however in relation TO
this discussion: We want no bulldoz-
ing, and no argument based upon as
sertions. Give us chapter and verse,

becOnd-On Apru = 1901, hs sec
retary Of the state senate, officiating
as secretary Of the joint session Of Tho
legislature that elected two United
States senator's, sworn to keep a cor.
rect record Of the proceedings OF that
body, his record was 80 inaccurate
and the summary and the detail SC
conflicting as TO leave the election OF
S. Q. PomerOy in doubt; and in the
early part Of October 1862, when a
candidate for lieutenant governor on
the democratic ticket, he made the
following confession in relation TO this
election:
But for my manipulation Of the votes Of the
Joint convention Samuel @. POmerOy would have
been defeated by three votes.
Third As member of the state
senate in 1862 he was one Of four sem
ators who voted against the impeach-
ment Of Auditor Geo. S. Hillyer and
Secretary Of State John w. Robin
son for an improper sale Of Kansas
state bonds, said bonds having been
made contrary to the conditions Of
the statute providing for their sale,
at loss to the state and at a profit to
Interested parties.
Fourth-In 1862, being defeated in
the republican convention as a candi-
date for lieutenant governor, he bolted
the nomination Of the convention and
became a candidate on the democratic
ticket, one Of the planks Of whose
platform reads as follows:
That the people, absorbed In the dangers which
menace the country and the state, have neglect
ed and abandoned the old political organizations
That we deeply regret the present unfortunate
condition OF our beloved country, and hope that
such measures may be adopted by the govern
ment so that the constitution may be preserved
as II is and that the country may be restored as
II was.
This was just after the issue Of the
provisional proclamation Of emanci-
patton.
Fifth--In 1864 he was again a can
didate for lieutenant governor on the
democratic ticket with George b.
Mcclellan as candidate for president
Of the United States on the ever mem
orable platform Of the Chicago con-
vention of that year.
Sixth On March IA, 1876, in the
senate of the United States, on the
question of reducing the salary Of the
president of the United States to $685.
600 per annum, Mr.. Ingalls, voted no.
Seventh--Mr. ingalls, is not a friend
Of the soldier. On February 10, 1878,
he said:
The principle Of granting gratutOus pensions
was first established by the government Of the
United states on the i4th Of February, 1871. It
was departure from the laws Of pensions as
established by all other nations, and In my iudg.

LAW ENOUGH ALREADY.
The Assessor Against the Pending Bill
''To Encourage Cooperation" &c.

The Commissioners have before them House
bill 1876, ITO encourage cooperation and to pro-
vide for the formation of associations in the Dis
trict Of Columbia for the purpose Of conducting
any reliable business and dividing the profits
among the members thereof" The Commission
the bill to the assessor for hisviews
In his report upon the bill today he says: "The
general incorporation act, approved May Is,
1870, provides for the incorporation of institu-
tons OF learning, societies for benevolent,
charitable, educational, literary, musical, scen-
tific, religious and other purposes; manufactur-
ing, agricultural, mining, mechanical, insur-
ance. mercantile, transportation, market and
savings bank corporations, cemetery associa-
tons, boards OF trade and railroad companies
all under proper legal restraints and safe
guards. In my judgement, says Assessor Trim
BILE, the inclosed bill is subject to the objection
that it opens the door to the formation and Or
ganization Of irresponsible organizations which,
under the color of legal status, might posi-
bly, impose upon the confidence Of the general
public, and in view Of the liberal features of
our present incorporation laws and the privi-
lege which our citizens possess in having the
national Legislature easily accessible for petit
tons and asking favor in special cases, am
constrained to believe that II would be unwise
to adopt said bill in its present form. The
Commissioners. will reply to Congress at an
early day, basing their report on the above
letter.

DEFERRED ACTION ON LIQUOR LICENSES.
It was the intention Of the Commissioners to
take up for consideration rejected liquor
license applications this morning. but they did
not reach the question for the reason that they
had to 20 before the Senate committee on ap.
preparations to explain certain clauses in the
bill as it came from the House. The liquor
question will be taken up tomorrow and it is
safe to say that in ten days all applications
will have been acted upon.

A Great Newspaper.

From the Marlboro (Md) Gazette
THE WASHINGTON STAR has kept step With
the growth and progress Of the national capital
and has become q fitting journal for such q
home. In the last decade it has shown as
much enterprise and energy as any metropolitan
newspaper in the country. Out of its four
pages it has expended itself into, at times, as
many as twenty, all filed with fresh, instruct
i've and entertaining matter. II CLEANS all the
news Of the day and the columns of few morn
ing papers give more. Its tone is most con-
sentative and it deals with all the great ques-
tions of the day with fairness and impartiality.
We consider TIE STAR the most complete
evening paper published in the country. By
means Of the costliest machinery it is one of
the most perfectly printed. II has now at.
tanned a daily circulation Of over SO, 600 and it
is constantly increasing. 1t richly deserves the
great success which now attends il

meetings, and by vote s25 more Was appropri-

No MONEY FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
The impression having in some way gone
abroad that the W. C. I. U. contributes fnan-
ciai aid 10 the prohibition party, Mrs schell
read from the official journal Of the organization
an editorial statement that the w. c. T. u. has
never an Q body contributed dollar to the
support Of any political party, and that if any
thing has been done in that line il has been
done by individual. members.
Rev. Mr.. Wiley of the National reform asso-
citation addressed the meeting briefly on the
coming convention Of that society and Mrs.
Hunt Of Boston, the international superintend-
emit Of temperance education, who is visiting
the public schools here, made twenty -minute
talk on her special work.
The reading Of department reports for the
District occupied the afternoon. The reports
showed a membership Of 500.

Another Pistol Carrier Fined.

This morning about o'clock Policemen
Stewart Of the ninth and Bateman of the sixth
precinct were standing near the corner Of LIST
and streets northeast discussing the
stabbing case that had occurred earlier
In the evening, as published elsewhere
in IHr STAR, and we're on the lookout for the
man who was charged with the stabbing, when
young colored man named Edward Carroll
appeared. Officer Bateman stepped over TO
take look at the negro and tie latter started
TO run. The officer grabbed him, and a. he
did SO the negro drew q British bull dog"
revolver from his pocket. Just then
Officer Stewart seized him by the wrist
and the loaded weapon fell TO the
street. This morning in the Police Court the
prisoner claimed that he was assaulted in that
section OF the city some time ago
and he carried the weapon for self-pro-
lection. He denied that he intended TO use
the weapon on the officer. but said he simply
intended to throw il away. When asked what
he was doing out at that hour he said he was at
the lodge meeting last night and had been
home with a lady
If the weapon had been found an inch from
the officer and the prisoner" remarked the
court, 1.-THE defense would have been that the
pistol grew in the street."
After making some remarks about the practice
of carrying deadly weapons the court imposed
the maximum penalty, ESQ or 80 DAYS on the
farm.

ment and Gen. Darlington for defendant. Mr..

Donohue and Lane demanded that be loose
him and then struck him with q brick or stone,
knocking him senseless. The defense was q

damage and that it was q case OF mistaken
identity. 1t was admitted that if Donohue was
present he would SO swear. The jury in Q few
minutes found verdict of guilty on the second
count When called for sentence Lane said
that although he had been in trouble before it
always WAS when he was drinking, and protested
that il lenient the court would not be again
troubled by him. The court remarked that il
was q narrow escape, for the officer came near
being killed. A sentence was imposed of
three months in Jail.
