INGALLS, AND THE KANSAS PRESS.

We were never more wildly impressed
| with the simIle of the little barks and
the big dogs heels, than in the reproduc-
ton of the small, ill-natured yelp,
against Ingalls,, being reproduced by the
Capital. OF course they will hurt. The
bites of the Insignificant pissants, if nu-
merous enough, may kill giant, but
that does not obviate the smallness of the
insect, nor detract from the weight of
the corpse. Ingalls,, in some late inter
views. by telling the exact truth about
the aims of the Alliance, and the formid-
ability of the movement. endeavored to
impress the east with the seriousness of
the situation. He simply described an
existing condition, in no sense either sid
ing with it or advocating it, as we read
his words. In fact, he is, himself but
surviving victim of the adhesion and
force of the class-combine which lie
graphically pictured. Now, eastern
Republican journals that affect to belittle
the movement. that cannot see any COM
munity of interests existing between
the west and the Gulf states, or in doing
so, ignore the possibility OF
any unity of political action
in the near future. because OF the sec
tional differences and the arrangements
of the past, endeavor to belittle Ingalls,

The Baptist church which is preemi-
nently American in all its spirit, num-
bers 100000 in the United States, and
does not receive one dollar from the gov
eminent for any part of its Indian school
work. That church believes that secta-
rian influences in the public schools are
contrary to the constitution and danger
GUS to the liberty and principles of our
government. One other church num-
bering only 100000 have more than
double as much government money for
Indian school work as all the other
churches combined. 1t may be remarked
that the first substantial progress made
towards outstanding the Indians IN
this country, and the most extended in
the scope of its influence, was through
the efforts of the Baptists among the five
civilized tribes of the Indian territory.
This is not stated many sectarian spirit
but simply as fact, and it is worthy of
thought by all who feel an interest in
the Indian problem.

The following from the Baltimore Sun

side: marquis Di Rudini, the present
premier, like his predecessor, Crispi, is
also Sicilian, and since the recent
change of ministry Crispi has been I'M
firing to dlscredit and overthrow the ad-
ministration of his successor, hardly yet
much practical politics, in the shape of a
bid for the Sicilian votes, there may be

A Sensible Criticism.

From the Globe Democrat.
In his speech at the banquet of the
knights of st. Patrick on Tuesday even
ing Colonel John ID. Finney. paying
tribute to the knights who had passed
away in twenty-five years, said:
The messy marbles rest
On the hands that we have press
In their bloom.
The reader will readily recognize in
these words the rhyme and meter Of
Oliyer Wendell Holmes Last Leaf, 4"
but the substitution of "hands" for
clips in the second line turns beauti-
full sentiment into sheer nonsense. Who
ever heard of the bloom" of hand? If
the knights are not in the habit OF salut-
ing each other with kiss, the quotation
should have been omitted entirely.

A CHINESE IDYLL.
1t Is Begun in China and Now Ponds IN
NsshviIle-In the Pc nitentiary Next.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November a.
Saturday night Detective James
Humphrey, of Savannah, Ga, arrived
in the city and arrested one jim Lee, a
Chinaman, and going to Fisk Uni
versity, colored school, arrested Wong
Chong, a Chinese girl. The two were
carried to the station and held on a
charge of adultery. The real charge is
that she stole $4,000 in cash from a
Chinese tea merchant OF New York, Lee
Kee by name.
The tale is romatic and complicated,
and each side tells conflicting story.
The couple went to Savannah, Ca,
last summer. About that time a
Chinese paper published story land
column after column was written
about it and sent out by the Associated
Press, that the wife Of Lee Kee had
eloped with Jim Lee, and robbed her
husband Of $4,000. Wing Chin Lee, q
Chinaman, of Savannah, read the paper
and suspected the new corners. He
communicated with Lee Kee, and the
description given fitted the two. Just
as they were being married, In the
American fashion, Wing Chin Lee
rushed In and forbade the union. telling
the story to the minister, who refused
to proceed with the ceremony. The
two then came to Nashville, and the
girl started to school.
The tale told by the woman is that
she and Jim Lee were married FIVE years
ago in China. They came to San Fran
cisco, where Lee Kee, wealthy tea
merchant Of New York, saw and became
enamored OF her. He proposed to elope
with her, and upon her refusal he
drugged her, carrying her to New York.
For four years Jim Dee did not know Of
his wife's Whereabouts, but found her in
New York this summer. The two
skipped out with Lee KEGS money.
Lee Kee was to have arrived here to-
day, but did not come. The couple ap-
piled for q writ OF habeas corpus, but it
was refused. They will be held to await
Lee KEGS arrival.
