WHAT INGALLS, DID say.

The vote of the National organ Of pro-
hibition attempting a criticism by gar
bling what Ingalls, said in his Staten Isl
and speech as contrasted with bis Forum
article of two years ago. that gentleman
writes succinctly, as follows:
Your quotation from my remarks at
Staten Island is incorrect, imperfect and
mutilated. Had you intended to chai-
lenge the accuracy OF statements made
in an extempol aneous address, justice
would have suggested the submission Of
your report to me before publication.
The extract from my article in the
Forum depicts with fidelity the situation
at the time it was written, so far as
could Judge from personal knowledge
and the information of those in whose
sincerity and intelligence had conf
dence. In the last few years however, q
remarkable and extraordinary change
has occurred, and the real question Is not
whether nv statements are consistent,
but whether, being at variance, both are
true.
To present the issue clearly, affirm:
First--That there is no town OF impoT-
lance in Kansas where beer, whisky and
other intoxicating drinks can not be had
and are not sold as a beverage. There
may be some hamlets and villages where
this is not true, but not many even there.
Two-That in the principal cities of
the state the dramshop traffic is recog-
nized and practically licensed by the
imposition of monthly fines" which
are regularly applied to the payment Of
the expenses of the municipal govern
ment.
Three-That the brewery which, in
test case, the supreme court of the UNI
ted States held the state had the power
to suppress and destroy, has been, and
now is, in operation.
Four-That these facts are known to
the state officials to the board of police
commissioners appointed by the Cover
nor, upon oath, to enforce the prohibit
tory law. and to the people generally.
These observations are not prompted
by hostility to prohibition, nor by prefer
ence for any other plan of depressing the
enormous evils inflicted upon society by
the abuse of intoxicating drinks. Pro-
hibition may be the best method of deal
ing with the appalling problem, but the
friends of temperance have nothing to
gain by intolerance, hypocrisy and mis-
and nothing to lose by
fearless, candid and truthful discussion.

Jt was stated in the convention of
economical entomologists at Washington
last week that about 10 per cent of the
agricultural products OF this country is
destroyed every year through the ravages
of insects, making an annual loss of
about $36, 100000 If the balance of the

DEMOCRATS AND ALLIANCE.

In most of the Kansas. counties the Al
lance ignored the Democratic con-
tingent, in some instances. snubbing that
party in humiliating way. But all the
same, in nine counties out Of ten, the
Democratic county bosses have come
cringing and crawling back begging for
Alliance coalition and partnership. Such
a degrading attitude may be all right-for
cheap demagogues in their pitiful strug-
giles for office, to secure which they will
stoop to the performance of any trick,
however disreputable ordirty, SO long as
no penitentiary penalty attaches; but
how the great body of self-respecting
Democrats who neither ask or care for
Office can submit to being made ringers
in for the Alliance is hard to understand.
The Democratic aspirants in some of these
Kansas counties-and Sedgwick is one of
them-have no hope or chance outside
of swap with the Alliance leaders, and
to this end they are bending all their
plans and energies not caring single
snap what becomes of the Democratic
party as an organization or what be-
comes of its principles. They are after
personal enoluments and they would go
into partnership with anarchists or any
body else to succeed, without any refer
ence to the principles of the Democratic
party to which thev make pretence of
And this fairly describes the
majority of those who in the name of
Democracy are expecting to secure office
this fall in Sedgwick county, but who
less than four months ago were vehe-
ment in their Genunciations of the Alli-
ance and of all its belongings.

SOME ALLIANCE FACTS.

From the Pratt Republican.
1t will be remembered that the
reform" legislature captured the state
printing last winter and that one Of the
''reform" editors of the state was elected
state printer. The fees Of the state
printer have always been enormous and
the Republican senate early in the ses-
sion passed a bill cutting down the fees
to reasonably fair basis. The leather
lunged "reformersr in the lower house,
however, killed the bill and the fees re-
NAMED as heretofore, viz, about $50 600
profit per year. The new state printer.
under the reform regime, was not even
satisfied with this princely income. He
was given a partnership IN the largest
blank book publishing house in Topeka
in consideration of his influence as state
printer. Then this house bought out a
rival plant and gigantic pool
formed to monopolize the print
ing OF county. township and
school district blanks. Confden-
tiaI circulars were sent out to peoples
party officials all over the state. signed
by F. II. Snow, state printer, offering to
give these local ''reformers 20 per cent
commission on all orders for county sup
plies. Ii is the most infamous monopoly
in the state and ought 70 be prosecuted
under the antitrust law. The reform
state printer, not satisfied with the fat
thing of the state printing when con-
Quoted legilimately. aims 10 crush out
all county newspaper offices BY robbing
them OF their patronage, through the
paid agency Of ali Alliakce county off,
cials. Here we have the legitimate
fruits of the People party ''reformer' N
politics. No wonder the best men IA the
party are becoming Disguised WITH the
sham What the People party needs IS
publication from within. At present il
is the rottenest political organization IN
the United States. Only a little over q
year old il IS already reeking with cor
Euption.

The sumner county fair at Yelling
ton this week seems not to have been
the full success expected for it. The
local papers say the exhibits were not up
TO the reasonable expectation, in view of
the phenomenal crops, in quality and
quantity, and the attendance was small.
The explanation offered for all this is the
iEsufhCiency of premiums to stimulate
general interest and competition among
exhibitors. 1t certainly requires liber-
ality on the part Of the management of
an undertaking of that sort TO make it a
success. Its an old saw that like begets
its like, and in a public enterprise of any
kind the public intuitively partakes of
the spirit that controls it: if generous,
the popular response will be liberal. and
vice versa. This, however, is only a
general proposition, and may not apply
TO the Sumner county fair.

specifically that those who were idle but
wanted work, could find it and at re-
munerative wages by coming to Kansas,
and it repeats the invitation in behalf of
the farming community in the southern
portion of the state, where there is a de-
mand for large numbers of industrious
laborers and teams. If the northeastern

Policeman Struck Down by villairous
WAsHBURN, Wis, April 27.-Pat Cas-
sody, one of Washburn's most popular
policemen, was picked up at 2 clock this
morning in a pool of blood. The Odd
Fellows district anniversary celebration
occurred here to-day and Bayfield,
Street had been deliberately decorated.
About IL O'Clock last night a gang Of
thugs began tearing down the bunting.
Cassidy caught two fellows at the work
and arrested them. When he stopped
to replace some Of the decorations
one of the thugs struck him
with q club. His nose was
broken, his face horribly mangled, and
his skull crushed SO that he cannot live
but a few hours. Two arrests were made
this morning, and another made at noon
OF a man who was on big
hurry to leave and had blood on his
clothing. He was taken Immediately to
the bedside of the dying policeman for
Identification, and is thought to be the
right man. Intense excitement prevails,
as Cassidy was very popular and leaves
two motheress children. fit is sure that
they have the right man, and if Casso DIV
should die, there will be lynching bee
before night. Cassody's life has been
previously threatened by a gang of
touehs hanging about here. The doc
tors attending Cassidy say he cannot
live but q few hours, as his skull was
badly crushed
