ESPECIAL TELEGRAN TO THE DrsPArcHi
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Messrs. W. l..
Crounz and David Lewsley, the clever
Washington correspondents of the New York
World, aided and abetted BY United States
Senator, have secured something entirely
unique in the way of an interview. Senator
ingalls, is hard man to interview. Some
months ago Lewsley endeavored to talk TO
him, but the Senator would talk on nothing
but shaving and shaving soap in the most
charming manner, innocently mentioning a
particular brand of soap.
Lewsley dished up the interview verbatim,
and the next the Senator heard of it was in a
full-page advertisement by the soap manu-
facturers giving the interview aud por-
trait of Ingalls, shaving himself The
" cheek " of the thing endeared Lewsley to
the Senator, and within the last week he has
not only permitted the young man to inter-
view him on nearly every subject under the
sun, but posed for about a score of photos
for use in illustration, placing himself in
all manner of eloquent and characteristic
Sttltudes.
SHOCKING HIS COLLEAGUES.
The liberal use the able Senator from
Kansas has allowed the World men to make
of him for to-morrow's edition, will GER
tainly shock the dignity of the Senate as
1t never has been shocked before. Follow
ing are specimen clips of the interview. OF
the destiny of the United States he says:
Our destiny is continental The Monroe
doctrine is written on every map of the United
States. The tendency to absorption is ire
sistible. The process will be peaceful but our
Northern boundary must be the Arctic circle
and our Southern the Isthmus canal.
OF the present administration he has this
opinion:
Harrison's administration has been much
more successful thus far than Cleveland's was
at the end of his first year. Cleveland satisfi ed
nobody, and was openly and unsparingly de-
nounced by his party organs. 1t is great mis-
take for President to suppose that by neg
lecting his friends he can propitiate his enc
mles Cleveland got no support from the Re-
publican party by allowing Republicans to re-
nam IN once, and he alenated many
Demo 3erats. The most formidable error
as bound to follow a pernicious precedent
Cleveland saw his blunder a year too late to
enable him TO recover. Most men are human,
ana prefer that reform should be tried on their
enemies rather than on themselves and if
President Harrison acts on this line he will
have no trouble. 1t is too early to predict what
the verdict will be. The statistics do not exist
Two years hence will be soon enough He has
had rocky time SO far, but has acquitted him
sell with dignity, courage and prudence. His
temperament is dispassionate, and he is not
sympathetic nor responsive, but his ideals are
high, and L am confident he Will grow con-
stantly IN public estimation and approval
PESSIMISTIC VIEW
Here is a pessimistic view of Government
and politics which will certainly get the
Senate in hot water:
With the possible exception of the two terms
OF Washington there has not been an absolutely
1alr, Tree and impartial expression of the de.
