FINE TRIBUTE TO INGALLS,.

Senator Ingalls, has not more wrath
full and vindictive enemy in the country
than the Chicago Herald, but, speaking
of his great speech of Wednesday, that
paper says:
'Ingalls today clinched his claim to be
considered the senats greatest orator.
Imagine the English of Macauley or
Motley delivered with the evolutionary
skill of Barrett or Irving and more
than the force of a Mccullough or Booth,
and YOU have Ingalls,. The wonder Is
that a voice so great, so deep and prevail
ing can come from body so slender and
delicate. i don't see where the mans
lungs are. said senator today, but it is
evident ne has them Perhaps they are
in his mouth At any rate the tones
come strong, clear, resonant. ingalls,
has voice that fills not only
the senate chamber, but which was
TODAY easily heard in the committee
rooms across the corridor. The Kansas
senator is today the finest example OF
what culture, training, determination
will do for public speaker. Mr.. ingalls,
was not born an orator, but ne persisted
in an effort to become one. That he has
succeed by dint of study and practice
was evident today.
Certainly he has rehearsed to some pur-
pose. No syllable uttered by him today
was lost by an attentive ear. His poses
and gestures were marvels of art, since
they aided man physically slight, so
slender and stiff as TO narrowly escape
being ludicrous, to the actual impressive
ness of dignity. When Ingalls, rises TO
speak it is as if the star had appeared on
the stage. Compared with him the other
senators are mere supers or, at best,stock
actors

The Alliance legislature should ever
keep it before them that any restrictive
legislation which viii have a tendency
to drive livestock yards, elevators and
the like across the Missouri line is legis-
lation against not only the interest of
Kansas but against the interest Of the
farmers in particular.

At the State Teachers Association
meeting in Topeka last week, a paper
was read on the subject of Habit in
Education, and was quite extensively
discussed. The consensus of opinion
seemed TO be that what is commonly
called habit IS largely matter of hered-
ity. One member. county superinten-
dent, said that children inherit tobacco
chewing and other bad habits, by walk
ing alongside of people-teachers and
others-who do these things" 1t is 4
pretty generally accepted theory that
children often inherit the habits and APP
petites of their parents. but the idea of
''inheriting" habit from any other is a
new one; not but that association, next
10 inheritance, is the strongest influence
that can be exerted. What the speaker
meant, perhaps, was that children par
take of the habits of those with whom
they associate, by absorption, pretty
much as a contagious or infectious dis
ease is contracted. There is no doubt of
this.

The highest compliment Speaker Elder
could possibly pay the five lawyers in the
legislature (all of whom are Republicans
was contained in his appointment of all
of them on the Judiciary committee of
chat body. But for the party pressure
that was brought TO bear he would UNI
questionably have made one of the five
chairman of the committee. But he was
smart enough to attach a saving clause,
30 TO speak, TO his action.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

MEDICINE MoDGE, Jan. "A, 1891.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
As the Kansas boys have gone to the
great ''round up" at Topeka, for Heav-
ems sake tell them not to take the
bounty off sugar. am an Alliance
member but am opposed to that, as
this industry is in its infancy, and the
only manufacturing industry we have
here in this great garden of the west,
with material at our doors, we must
not kill it by taking the bounty off.
Sugar factories will be started all over
Kansas if it is encouraged by bounty,
and hope all the boys, no matter what
their politics are, will add two cent
state bounty, so as to attract capital to
put up sugar factories all over Kansas.
| live one and half miles from the
Medicine Lodge sugar factory and raised
sugar cane or sorghum that made me
$500 an acre, sugar beets made me
1924. so an acre in 1890, where my corn
did not make me $500. The prOprietorS
buy and they tell the truth that it cost
them Al cents a pound to make this
sugar, and if the bounty is taken off they
can't start the mill another year. The
boys will not, / hope, kill the one and
only industry that will make Kansas a
great sugar state. There will be sugar
factories start up every where if encour-
aged. Give this thought and do not act
against our states interest.
Yours. ELI BENEDICT.

Pretty Thin Pleas.

From the Lawrence Journal
A leak was discovered in the custom
house at Philadelphia yesterday whereby
the government was about $50, 900 short,
and Claus Spreckles, the sugar king, was
the same amount ahead. Mr.. Spreckles
handed the officer a certified check to
cover the amount, and said he thought
the officers in the custom house must
have pu up job on his agent. That
sounds great deal like the explanation
Turner made in reference to the McGrath
letter.

All this talk of the Alliance refusing

Of which is the appropriations.

The extraordinary cold weather in
Western Europe, following upon the ex-

again revive theories as to the alteration

however, no matter how that be settled,
it destroys the grip, it will be generally
considered a welcome cool change.
