The burning Question with Ex-senator
Ingalls, Is Potatoes,

KANSAS Cry, Mo, April 9.-Sincc his
retirement from public office ex-senator
John J. ingalls, has developed into full
iedged farmer. lie owns thirty-acre
tract of land south of his residence, in
Atchison, Kan, and as soon as spring
weather permitted he began turning il IN
to II large truck farm. At present he is
engaged in planting potatoes. OF course,
he does not shovel dirt or do other dis
agreeable things, but he has two stout
eolored men 70 perform the manual labor,
and he stands on convenient boards and
strictly superyiscs the work. He spends
several hours each day on his truck farm,
and seems greatly infatuated with it. lie
walks about the place attired in a light
suit of clothes and long gray overcoat
of forgotten vintage. He also wears a
blood-red nccktie and carries a cane. He
refuses to talk politics to any one, saying
potatoes. MY plans for the future are to
make money by farming"

Don't Care for the senatorship, But Will
Make Another Gubernatorial Canvass.
Baltimore Sun Special.
New YORK, April State Senator j..
sloat Fassett, the gentleman who attained
so much notoriety by his investigating
committee, knew considerable about New
York politics, and learned a good deal
more in the course of his investigations.
lie is a strong candidate for governor on
the Republican side and thinks, with
unity in the party, there is a chance of
success. The question of his opponent, in
case he secures the nomination, is point
to which, of course, he has given special
thought. He seems to be in the ranks Of
those who Judge that Governor Hill will
follow out the same programme that he
adopted in regard TO the United States
senatorship. In answer to a direct ques-
ton as 10 his opinion Of who the next
Democratic nominee would be, he is
quoted as saying: Il think Governor Hill
himself wilt be the Democratic candidate
for governor next fall. He has the sena-
torship now, and when the tiinecomes he
is going to say to Roswell Z. Flower. Perry
Belmont, Jones and the other fellows who
are looking for the nomination that they
can do what they want to with the senator
ship, but that il will be necessary for the
success of the party in this state that he
should be the candidate for governor"
Ii is of more than passing interest to
find so many of the politicians with long
experience at Albany, in and about the
governors office, offering this opinion of
his future intentions.

negroes, names unknown, were arrested
and jailed at Evergreen, Ala, yesterday,
charged with being members of the
band of train wreckers who have been
operating on the Louisville g. Nashville

that they did the wrecking to get square
with the engineers and the detectives

The readers of the DELAWARE
GAZETTE AND STATE JOURNAL will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to The medical
fraternity. Catarrh heing n constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprletors have SO much faith i'm
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that il fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

pect there will be unanimity OF opin-
ion on this subject among the most
conscientious Of men, but l think it
may be properly said that in a coun-
try whose prosperity necessarily de-
ponds upon an intelligent under
standing of economic questions by
the masses and honest expressions OF
opinion in the discharge OF our dn-
ties as citizens there should be no dis
position on the part Of fair men any
where to unjustly criticise the views

anything they say.

Governor Boies' Speeches.

The first of January the PLAIN
DEALER gave to its readers the truth
full speech of Governor Boies in New
York, and to-day IL publishes the
equally truthful one at Council Bluffs.
The republican papers Of the State
whilst free, unjust and untruthful in
their criticisms of both speeches, re-
fuse or neglect to give either speech
to their readers.
1t probably is a difficult problem
for many of the country papers to
solve, to reconcile the last address
with the former one. The mortgage
Indebtedness of the state, taking the
report OF Superintendent Porter of
the census bureau as a basis, ought
to help them to solution. And
when they reflect that the mortgage
indebtedness reported includes only
that upon real estate, perhaps it will
begin to dawn upon their partisan
intellects that the New York speech
is entirely consistent with the facts,
and that but for the wonderful pro-
ductiveness of the state, as portrayed
in the Council Bluffs speech, its farm
ers would be packing their goods for
the bad-lands of Dakota or the arid
plains of Nebraska.
This condition of labor is the result
Of a conspiracy to make laboring peo-
pie the slaves or servants Of a bond
holding aristocracy. To this end the
money of the country was called in
and destroyed in exchange for inter-
st-bearing, untaxed bonds, interest
and principal to be paid from the
productive industries of the country,
as well as the entire expenses of state
and national government. And to
limit the supply of money in circula-
ton among the people-and its
abundance or scarcity is what regu-
lates prices in an open market-upon
one pretext and another, the money
taken from the people by an unjust
and onerous system of taxation, in
stead Of being applied to the pay.
mcnt of burdensome public debt, il
hid away in the treasury vaults, only
to keep the gamblers Of Wall Street
from bankruptcy. These honorable
bond-holding money lords of the ma
tional banks, whenever their cry o.
distress goes up, are heard in the
treasury department at Washington
and Immediately they are loaded
down with the moneys that the pro
ductive industries have paid in vari
GUS kinds OF taxes to support thei
government.
These are the monster evils tina
afflict the toiling millions of our lant
wherever located in spite of the pro
Effectiveness of their industries. AND
to aggravate these evils the people O
Iowa are compelled to pay the mill
ionaire manufacturers of the east trib
ute in the ratio of five dollars to tn,

lncnt.
Is it to shield this state of things
that the republican press of Iowa as
sail the remarks of Governor Boies?
