Ingalls, SDeech.

WASHINGTON d C.-Mr. Ingalls, took the
floor, and said there were portentous evils
which menaced the safety, if they did not
endanger the existence of the republic.
The first was an ignorant and debased, de-
graded, spurious suffrage suffrage contain
mated by the sewage of decayed nations;
suffrage intimidated and suppressed in the
south; suffrageimpure and corrupt, apathetic
and Indifferent in the great cities in the
north; so that it was doubtful to his mind
whether for half a century there had been
presidential election in this country that ex-
pressed the deliberate intelligence of the
American people.
He then referred to the newspaper inter-
view had with him several months ago, in
which he said that 1.-THE golden rule and the
decalogue had no place in an American cam
paign." 1t seemed superf1uous to explain
that in that utterance he was not intoxicating
q doctrine but describing condition.
His statement was statement Of fact; not
an announcement of faith. But many emf
nent and reverend divines, many disinter-
ested editors, many ingenious orators, per-
verted this utterance into personal advo-
cacy of lmpurlty In politics. he did not
complain. 1t was as the world went, legiti-
mate political warfare. But it was an illus
tration of the truth that the golden rule and
the decalogue ought to have a place in the
political campaigns
Referring to the late election, he said that
it was neither a republican nor democratic
victory-it was a grand uprising, independ-
emit of and superior to both political parties.
1t was crisis that might become catas-
trophe. 1t was a peaceful revolution.
He attributed the depression in the country
in great measure to tine demonstration act of
1873. He did not claim that that act had been
passed fraudulently. His only explanation
of its passage was, that both houses of con-
gress and the president had been hypnotized
by the money power. He had not the slight
est doubt a great majority of the people,
irrespective of party, we're in favor of the
free coinage of silver, and had been for the
past fifteen years.
1t was for that reason that he should cor
daily support the amendment of the senator
from Nevada for free coinage of silver. In
doing so he would not only follow the die
tates of his own Judgment, but would carry
out the wishes of the great majority of his
constituents, irrespective of party or political
utilization,

BILLS! BILLS!
The Senate Revision Committee Gets IN
Its Work by Introducing Twenty
Bills Covering Their Recom-
mendations of Reform.
The First GrIst of Bin. Put in the Senate
Hopper Numbers so; and in the
House 71-They Cover n Null
Litude of Subjects.

ToPEKA.-Mr. Drake, of Morris county,
proposed by resolution to authorize the SER
geant-at-arms to employ such help as he
might need; which, upon motion of Mr..
Webb, of Shawnee, was referred to the COM
mittee on retrenchment and reform.
Messrs. Brown. Webb and Dunbar we're
named as a committee upon what action
should be taken by the house concerning the
delegates sent here from unorganized coun-
ties.
When the journal was read it was referred
to the committee on rules that all superhu-
GUS matter might be prune1 from it.
While selection of seats by lot was in or
der, the usual permission to deaf members
to first make choice was given and twenty
one members claimed to be eligible to that
privilege.
On motion of Mr.. Gable, of Leavenworth,
it was ordered by vote of 20 to 48 to put a
check upon the free drawing of stationery
by members.
The house dispensed with hearing the en-
tire message read.
On motion of Mr.. York, of Rawlins, C
committee of seven on irrigation was added
to the regular list of committees.
Douglass of Sedgwick, Rice of Bourbon,
and Webb of Shawnee, were the first to get
III on the ground floor when introduction of
bills was first in order, getting forty bills
into the hopper between them. Other men,
bers got in thirty-one more. They covered a
multitude of subjects, all of which will be
noted in this report from time to time as
they are acted upon or before.
There is also a resolution before the senate,
introduced by Senator Moody, concerning
the shortening of the journal of that body,
also by cutting out unnecessary repetitions
of redundant matter.
Senator Kimb ball offered a concurrent reso-
luton providing for printing the journals
from day to day, which was adopted by the
senate.
The senate talked good while over the
customary resolution ordering copies of the
revised statutes for members of the legisla-
ture, and did not then settle the matter.
Senator Hardness, from the senate COM
mittee on revision of the statutes, was the
first to respond when Lieutenant Governor
Felt announced the order of Introduction
of bills" The senator put twenty-five bills
in the hopper. Many of these are identical
with bills introduced in the house; SO priority
of consideration may be secured by these re-
form measures in both houses.
The list of bills now before the two houses
is probably the largest ever introduced in a
first batch; the senate receiving eighty
against seventy-one in the house.

WASHINGTON, D. C., January 15.-The re-
port of the committee on foreign relations
on the Nicaragua canal bill, presented by
Mr. Sherman, maintains that the proceed
ING of Great Britain at BRlize, on the Mos
quito coast, discharged the United States
from its engagement with Great Britain in
1880, to refrain from exercising control of
any part of Central America. The report
SAYS that the total cost of the project viii be
but one-third more than the Welland canal,
and that it will be completed within six years.
The full cost of the work is set down at
500, 0o0, 900. The committee believes that
& would be the part of economy, aside from
che consideration of national policy, for the
United States to guarantee the bonds of the
COMPANY to the amount of 500, 600, 900, 50
that they may re sold at par, with the result
of reducing first, the actual expenditures OF
the company, and second, the tolls, which
would otherwise amount to 81, 900 an
nnaIly.

Amsr,ca,. Most Respected Citizen.

WAsHINGToE. D. c., January 20.-The COM
munity was greatly shocked by the news that
George Bancroft, the venerable historian,
was dead. It had been realized that Mr..
Bancroft could hardly survive much longer
the increasing infrmities incident to his ex-
treme old age, but he had been IN cheerful
spirits and apparently better health this year,
since his return from Newport, than for sew
eraI seasons past. so that his death was sud-
den and unexpected to all, save the few inti-
mate friends who knew of the attack or i'll
ness which carried him of. The end was
quiet and peaceful and came after period
of inconsistencies, lasting about twenty-fouI
hours.

TOPEKA, KAs.-Speaker Elder got in sew
eral reform measures. One was a bill to re-
duce the railroad passenger rate In Kansas
to cents per mile. The same bill also calls
for the election of the board of railroad COM
missioDers by the people, and also has pro-
vision which prohibits railroad companies
from issuing passes to any one but employees;
any railroad official who violates that provi-
sion is, according to Speaker Elders bill, to
be fined not less than 500 nor more than
$500 and be imprisoned sixty days. The
speaker, it is understood, will make hard
fight for this bin and insist upon the passage

ALarre Industry Closed Down.

KANSAS CRY, No., January A.-The Kan
sas City Car and Wheel works at Birming-
ham, suburb of this city, has closed down
for an indefinite period. The works are q
branch of the st. Louis Car and Wheel works.
Superintendent Sutherland says that the
freight rates into Kansas City were so unfa-
cars here as cheaply as in st. Louis. he
said the works would probably remain closed
until at least they could get freight rate
that would permit of their doing profitable
business. The town of Birmingham was
brought into existence by the establishments
of the works and it will suffer greatly BY the
shut down.

DUBL1E, January 20.-The news from New
Tipperary is far from encouraging. Those
who entered the fight there against the abuses
of laudlordism may be said to have surren-
sered after being numerically beaten by the
enemy. The completeness of the victory
gained by landlordism may be judged by the
fact that all the stores in New TiPperary and
all the stalls in the former business thorough
fare. known as O'Bren's Arcade, with the
exception of three, are either permanently
closed or in the hands of the bailiffs, the lat
Ter having seized them for debt.

ST.. PETERSBURG, January IA dispatch
from Tobolsk says that the terrible scourge
of Tobolsk, the capital of west Siberia. The
whole of Asiatic Russia, from Samark to the
mouth of the Obi, is suffering from the
scourge. Thousands are dying at Obdorsk,

The Benn.t Law in Wisconsin.

MADISON, WIS, January 16.-The inaugu-
ration address of Governor Peck to the state
legislature attacks the Bennett compulsory
education laws as interfering with religious
practices. and deems 1t unwarranted by the
condition of the children in the state. He
believes Wisconsin parents are not unmiud-
full of the duty they owe their offspring, and
he recommends the unconditional repeal of
the law. The governor treats of the law as
an infraction of parental rights.

BRIBERY.
Mr.. Douglass, republican. of Sedgwick, en-
deavored to get the house to act at once on
his bill to punish bribery, as a matter of
emergency. If acted upon by the house now
IL became law soon; II leu 10 go through
the regular course OF committees 1t could
not be a law until after the senatorial cleo
ton.
Several alliance members were suspicious,
charging that this bill, introduced by re-
publican, must have some dark plot behind it,
Others of the same party thought 'the bars
should be put up as soon as possible and
favored present action on the bill. One
member, Dumbauld, of Lyon, said that this
measure was not to restrain the members
from accepting bribe, but to seal the men,
ber's mouth forever from dlvulging who the
br1be- giver is.
The bill was, finally, by vote referred to
committee of the whole.
RESOLUTIONS.
