He Thinks the Creator Responsible for
Unequal Division of Cash.
WASHINGTON, July II or the first time
since he left public life Senator Ingalls,
appeared in public yesterday afternoon,
making his debut as lecturer upon the
stage of the amph;theatre of the National
Chatauqua, at Glen Echo, near this city
His talk was on the problems of Our Sec
ond Century" and he was listened to by a
large audience. He paid his respects to
those persons who want money to be as
free as the leaves in the forest in the au-
tumn, and who are so anxious to have
Congress pay their debts. He deprecated
the state of affairs which made it possible
for 80, 900 people to control one-half of all
the accumulated wealth of the country,
but he evidently did not see how this was
to be helped.
The Result of a Universal "Divy."
He said that if all the wealth was
divided so that each person received his
per capita share, in six months some
would be riding in palace cars, and some
in buggies; some would be on foot and
others would De sitting in the fence cor
hers watching the procession go by. He
laid that no legislation in the world
could change the distinctions which exist
between men, and added that if some peo-
pie were rich and others were poor the
fault lay with the Creator He took an
optimistic view of the contest between
wealth and poverty, and said that out of
the struggle would come broader liberty,
and greater opportunities for happiness.
In the course OF his lecture he referred to
himself as a statesman out of a lob.
remark which naturally caused great
laughter.

Comments on Fall Elections.

Il look upon the elections of this fall as
most important" he said. Particularly
80 as regards Iowa, Ohio. and New York.
In the Empire state Democratic victory
is almost assured. This talk about Gov
ernor Hill running again is most i'm
probable. He has accepted the United
States senatorship, and should he give
that up Republican might by the next
legislature be elected in his place Mr..
Flower will be the gubernatorial nomi-
nee. That is practically settled. Iowa
look to go Democratic. The tariff will be
the issue and, save a very few lumber
manufacturers along the Mississippi,
there is no one in the state who can say
that the Mckinley bill has brought one

The Democratic Nominee in '9e.

On the question of the probable Demo
cratic nominee, Mr.. Springer preferred
not TO express himself. He admitted that
Cleveland had seemingly hurt himself by
his silver letter, but not enough to harm
him if nominated. For German he had
high words of praise, and also for other
possible nominees. But he had no opin-
ion to express as to the relative chances of
any one.

The Buckeye State Campaign.

THE most interesting contest will occur
in Ohio. There the result is in the most
doubt. The Republicans have a great
deal at stake there. Should Mckinley lose
it will mean second Republication of his
bill and the party will certainly be unable
to use it as an issue in '92. And it can't
be changed before then, for though the
house can pass reform bill, such a meas
ure would not pass the Republican senate
and president Should Mckinley lie
elected the Democrats will not be greatly
harmed, since we can win without Ohio.
But it will raise McKinley's name very
high for the Republican nomination and
besides commit the party to the Mckinley
tariff -

Over many a CORY field;

And the mask and mittens WELD,
In pugilistic contest

And enjoy it, too, with Zest-

Crushed in a most brutal way,
