INGALLS, ON CLEVELAND

A Boston dispatch dated Saturday
says Ex-senator ingalls, Of Kansas
when asked yesterday who would be
the opposition candidates in 1892 replied:
Cleveland will be the next nominee of
the Democratic party, no matter what
views he may express on the tariff, the
silver or other questions. I believe that
Mr.. Harrison will be renominated and
that he has consented to it by the un-
written laws of parties and by the pre-
cedent OF our political system. Hill is
not mentioned in the west as candi-
date"
In regard to the attitude of the parties
on the silver question Mr.. Ingalls, said
IF the Republican party dominates an
anti-silver coinage candidate in 1892 and
inserts plank of the same character in
platform, it is doubtful if it could
carry two states west of the Alleghenies.
The gravity of the situation is not fully
apprehended or appreciated in the east.
There Is growing feeling of resentment
among western farmers at the inius ice
Of society and the unequal distribution
of wealth. They are intelligent and
patriotic, neither Nihilists nor Anarchists,
and have been studying the prob
lem for many years with the de-
sire to reach some reason for the
difficulties which exist. They regard
the Republican party as being respon.
sible so far as it has obeyed in legislation
the dictation of the eastern leaders,
manufacturers and capitalists and they
have beheld no disposition on the part of
the latter to make the slightest conces-
sions to their interests, but on the con-
trary gave an invariable demand for
pound of flesh.
Western people believe that safe
and abundant circulation is necessary to
activity in business and that the scarcity
of money is occasioned by stagnation
and low prices, but the fat or irredeem-
able paper money idea has few ad-
herentS"
Mr.. ingalls, does not think that wear
of poor crops would weaken the Farmers
Alliance as political force. He
evidently regards the movement as a
deeply seated one and one that has not
yet reached its maximum. He predicts
that the Alliance will poll 30, 900 votes in
Ohio next November and in a presidential
it would be more largely re-
from the Republican than from
the Democratic party. Nr Blaines
hold on the affections of western Re
publicans is as firm as ever, in Mr..
Ingalr opinion, although they have no
over reciprocity.

The fact that Missouri has acquired
much of her wealth from the product
iveness of Kansas lands and the thrift
ness of her people does not deter the
former from taking advantage of every
circumstance that occurs TO continue to
profit at the latter's expense, as witness
this from the st. Joseph News:
Now that Kansas has made the creates,
mistake OF the year, next to the election OF
PETER, in failing TO appropriate a dollar
for an exhibit at the worlds fair, Missouri
should take advantage of the situation and
double the amount proposed by Governor
Francis.
And not only do they propose to thus
advantage themselves at our cost, but
they never fail to hold up the toibles of
the body the people chose to legislate for
the good of the state. but who fell down
IN the attempt, to the ridicule and con-
tempt of the public. All the same. and
nevertheless, Kansas will not sit behind
Missouri at the worlds fair.

bursed annually to the pensioners
in Kansas, and when the number
of these drafts going to make up this
amount is also considered, the colonel
will, / believe, admit that it is asking a
heavy contribution from the bankers to
stand the expense of having the money
at hand to pay them on presentation,
free of cost. am confident no bank in
Kansas would charge exchange on drafts
of this character if the same were depos-
tied in bank as is the case IN ordinary
business channels. The practice of cash
ing drafts or bills of exchange over the
counter by banks without charge is
practice that is the result of our cornpe-
tition. and it is an element that must
and will be eliminated from their BUSH
ness when they come to do strictly
banking business. If Wichita possesses
class who have discharged well their
duty to their town and state. it is the
bankers, and if the colonel will look at it
from their standpoint, he will, / believe,
agree with this view of the matter.
Respectfully, COUNTRY BANKER.

SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND.

The suffrage question is just now a
prominent one in English politics.
Under the system long in vogue the
elector may exercise the suffrage fran
chise in every municipality or country in
which he owns property and in order
that these may get the full benefit of the
privilege thus granted the elections in
! certain cases are extended to from two
to five days SO that they may go from
point to point where they have property
interests to vote. In effect this nullifies
the intent of the suffrage franchise, that
of majority rule, and places it within
the power of comparative few to con-
troll elections and the government, at
least as far as relates to assessment and
taxation.
1t is now proposed to change this, Mr..
Gladstone having prepared measure
which he has championed, changing
this feature Of the elective fran
chise and giving every qualified
elector one vote at one election and no
more. zone vote to one man" is the
this issue, and it is believed it will sue
coed, though not in the immediate
future. The strongest argument that
will be used against this innovation, as
it is termed by its opponents, is that it
will help the Irish cause, and this will
no doubt be used to the fullest extent to
defeat it if possible. There is little
prospect that the change will be made
until it is made an issue in a general
election for members of parliament.
One of the most noticeable features in
the proposed extension of suffrage as
they call it, though in reality it means
restriction of the elective franchise, is
that it makes no melton of women and
does not contemplate extending the
privilege to that class. The champions
of this, last idiom no doubt
remark the strange inconsistency
of this discrimination, which is
made all the more glazing by
the circumstance that one of that sex sits
as the figure-head of the government
That circumstance has been of no avail
within the queens realm, however, in
advancing women to the privileges of
the ballot, and official preferment result
ing therefrom, and at present there are
no indications that such a movement
will be made in their behalf; certainly
not until the pending question of one
vote for one man shall have been dispos-
ed of. Nevertheless, this new phase to
the suffrage question in England is vest
ed with a degree of interest, especially
IN that country where it is regarded with
the utmost solicitude by many and jeal-
Gus care by all.

Remarkable Memories.

Memory" said old Fuller, the author
of the "Worthies," who himself possessed
wonderful power of reminiscence, rs the
storehouse of the mind, wherein the treas
ures thereof are kept and preserved" 1t
is unquestionably true that. as a rule,
great writer's have had memories of more
than ordinary tenacity and range. The
faculty of Renaissance feels the fires OF
the imagination and keeps lucid and or
derby the sequence of philosophic tho light.
How much Milton, for example, profit ed
by his prehensile and trustworthy memo
r. is evident. Not only such poems as
"Lycidas," but PARADISE Lost" and Par
adise Regailed" are studded with transla-
tons or parsphrases of exquisite extracts
from the classic poets.
We are told that Pascal never forgot
anything he had seen, heard or thought
Avicenna could repeat by rote the entire
Koran when he was 10 years old, and Fran
els Suarez had the whole of st. Augustine
in his memory. In three weeks Scaliger,
the famous scholar, committed 10 memory
every line of the Had" and the "Odys-
sey." Another scholar, Justus Lipsius,
offered to repeat the Histories of Tacitns
without mistake on forfeit of his life

the contrast in mental power between

contrast might have been carried to the
south with equal force. With the ex-

inexperienced men from the southern
states succeed those who have been long
in the public service, which circum-
stance is against their becoming promi-

Those who heard PETER speak in the
Grand Army hall and compared him
with the brilliant and scholarly Ingalls,,
could not but lament at the change
which had come over mems dreams out
in Kansas. Aside from the long-haired
crankery which PETER represents, there
is nothing in him that is even remotely
interesting. He is an ungainly, clumsy
man, remarkable only for a rumbling
voice, which he likes to hear rumble,
and for a great rank cataract of whis-
kers, which he clearly regards as being
impressive. Vanity. to tell the truth, is
rather conspicuous in both Simpson, the
sOckless, and PETER, the pirate-bearded.

than covers actual cost of returning the
money 10 the bank advancing it, to say
nothing of the labor involved, or the
responsibility assumed in the premises.
