Perhaps Senator Ingalls, is such a
choice political exotic in Kansas, that
he deems il too small a matter TO have
any knowledge Of the late election
in this state, that savors Of any acCu-
racy, as such.
And il may be that he has such a
supreme faith in a divine providence,
or perohanCe, in his needed new

EARN of faith" that he concludes that

invoked, TO enable him for the fourth

THE MEssAGE on PREsIDENT POLK.

On December 2, 1890, at the annual
meeting OF the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union Of America, held az
Oosla, Florida, President l.. L. Polk
delivered an address, which for a sur
vey Of the present industrial COndi-
tiOns Of the American people, and for
It's broad comprehensive spirit, chal-
lenges the careful attention of all
true, patriotic citizens Of our COM
mon country. We sincerely hope all
the readers OF Che ADVOCATE may Pc
ruse it and permit it's vital truths TO
sink into their minds, 80 that they
may all become more fruitful in good
works. The following is a sample Of
earnest truthfulness:
No patriot can Wow, but with feelings OF.

the fostering care Of our pOtlCOeConOmlC sys-
temstO the Capitalization Of tho money power and

stands to-day as a formidable menace TO indl.

Mr.. Peck ID one OF the most talented men In

The foregoing commentary upon
the 'boOdlerized journalism Of the
Hudson and Easley kind" as our
Hutchinson Tipes-RepUblican 30
graphically states il, might be con-
sidered by Professor James H. Can
field, Of the state university at Law
renee, who, in a recent address at the
Hall Of che House Of Representatives,
thus delivered himself:
There lies before me late copy OF the Topeka
Capital OF this city. II is not a perfect Journal

II is not always full Of sweetness, II is at least al
ways fun Of light, II walks IN no devious paths II
gives forth no uncertain sound and II Ia easily the
brightest and strongest and sturdiest morning
paper In the state.
Even Mr. Easley, himself, draws
the line on the professor for the fore
going probably strongly enough to
refuse to let him wear the ingalls,
Senatorial mantle; for thus he bars
him out:
We herewith withdraw, retraCt, take back and
kick Ourself for all the good things In the NeOs

IN THE HOUSE.
The Nat Mckay Bill Finally Passed
Alien Land Bill Discussed.

WASHINGTON, August 19-In the house
today Thomas, of Wisconsin, moved to
lay upon the table the motion made
some days ago by Hayes, of iowa, to
reconsider the motion made by which
the house passed the Nat Mckay bill.
Agreed to-Yeas, 90; nays, 70. This
finally passed the bill.
The speaker stated that the unfinished
business in the morning hour was the
bill to amend the alien land law.
Carter, of Mo ntana, explained that
the bill had in view the repeal of the
alien land law, in so far as that law re-
ferred to the ownership of mines in the
territories.
Carter said the alien land bill had
been passed by the house in July
1886, after very slight consideration. He
insists that the ownership, of mines of
gold. silver, lead, tin, cinnabar and cop
per, in the territories, was not intended
to be affected by the bill. He had no
quarrel to make with the existing law,
in so far as it related to the agricultural
and timber lands He did insist that
foreign capital should not be discouraged
or prohibited from engaging in the pre-
.carious enterprise of developing mines
in this country. He con-
tended that no one could
hesitate to do away with the distinc-
ton between agricultural and mining
lands. While the ownership of agricul-
tural lands should be regulated, cheap
capital should be invited from every
where to be invested in the hazardous
business of developing mines and giving
employment to men who otherwise
would be crowded into other lines of
labor, and thus cheaper the wages of
toll. 1t was not the million
aire who discovered mines; it
was the toiling workman. Ii
the benefit OF this discovery was lin
tied to the market of the United States,
the men who had money to invest in
mines were given monopoly. If the
doors were thrown wide open, the men
whose toll had discovered treasure, were
given the privilege of enjoying the ben
eft of it.
Chapman, OF Michigan, opposed the
measure. The passage OF this bill
might result in gigantic corporations

Pending further debate, the morning

cOnCrOlleQ by foreigners, VINO mad no
interest in our country.
Pending further debate, the morning
hour expired, and the bill went over.
Cannon of Illinois, from the committee
on rules, reported resolution setting
apart today, Wednesday, Thursday, Sat
urday and Wednesday of next week for
consideration OF bills reported from the
committee on agriculture. The first bill
to be taken up is the senate bill to assist

day. On the days specified. the house
shall meet at IL O'clock. The order
further provides for morning hour each
day, and gives place to general appro-
priation bills or conference reports
thereon.
Mcmillan said it must be admitted
that the proposed order put the river
and harbor bill in a perilous position
Business had already been outlined that
would occupy the time of the house
until September, leaving unconsidered
the river and harbor bill, with it's $24,-
600, 200 aspiration.
Cannon said the order would not
interfere in the slightest degree with
the river and harbor bill. That
measure could be called up during
the morning hour or Friday or Monday
The resolution was then adopted, and
the house accordingly proceeded to con-
sideration of the senate agricultural col
lege bill.
J. d. Taylor, of Ohio, spoke in favor of
the proposed amendment, providing
that the appropriation shall be applied
only to instruction in agriculture, the
mechanic arts, the English language,
and various branches of the mathemati-
cal, physical, nautical and economic sci
ence, with special reference to their ap-
plication in industrious life, and facili-
ties for such instruction. After long
debate the amendment was agreed to,
and the bill as amended passed without
division.
Adjourned.

Speaker Reed has appointed Lewis,

Commissioner Raum. The investiga-
ton begins tomorrow.
The president has approved the forti-

He Fenced Them In.

In an old book written by a west
ern congressman, a contemporary Of
Clay and Webster, containing remin-
iscences Of his times, story !. told
by one Of his friends, farmer in
Kentucky named Payne, who had six
daughters, none OF whom were
blessed with beauty. The congress
man knew them in their homely
youth, and when he returned few
wears later found them all married to
good, influential men. So great was
hi. surprise that he ventured 10 ask
their father why they had all been so
sought when other girls remained
neglected.
Yes, and you may say when they
had neither dover nor good looks.
Well, I'll tell you When | want my
cattle to eat buckwheat stubb.e in
stead OF grass | don't drive them in
to the field. ! fence it of from them.
They are so contrary that they
always want the thing they can't get.
They break down the fences; ] drive
them out and put it up. BY the
time they fight for it once or twice
they think they like the stubble.
We'll. | saw my girls weren't the
most attractive kind, and fenced

When the Deighbors saw how the
Payne girls were kept apart from the
crowd they thought their value must
be high. Young men came to break
down the fences. They like TO break
down fences"
