Ex-senator Ingalls, as a Lecturer

WASHINGTON, June 3o.-Ex-senator
ingalls, made his debut as lecturer at
the National Chautauqua at Glen Echo
near this city, to day. His subject
was "The Problem of Our Second Cen
tury," and his effort was listened to by
large audience. He took occasion to
prophesy, In beginning his talk, that
the capital of the republic would never
be moved from Its present site. The
first problem which he discussed
was the danger of paternalism in
the government, and he paid his
respects, in his unique way, to the
class of people who want their
debts paid by act of Congress and who
would have money as plentiful as au
tumn leaves in the forest. He did not
believe, he said, in having the govern
ment doing every thing and the people
nothing: Referring to the problem of
the unequal distribution of wealth,
he said that it was not right that ten
million people should never have
enough to eat in this country from one
years end to another, nor should it
ever happen that man went hungry
when he was willing and able to work.
1t was quite evident from his talk, how
ever, that he did not expect the present
condition of affairs to speedily change,
for, he SAID, that if all the wealth in
the United States were 10 be equally
divided now, in six months there would
be some people riding in palace cars,
some in buggles, some would be
walking and some would be sitting In
the fence corners watching the pro-
cesslon go by. "Above all, he added
"there would be heard again the voice
of the irrepressible reformer earning
his livelihood by the perspiration of his
of his jaw rather than by the sweat OF
his brow"

THE indifference of the wealthy

indignant remonstrance by unen
lightened or misinformed persons,
who should take the trouble to &C
quaint themselves with the true con,
dition of affairs. The fact is that the
private charities OF we'll to-do resi-
dents of this city is surprising to
those who are in a position to form
something like a correct judgement
in the matter. They give literally

A puzzling paradox appears
in India Silks. They have
been scarce and popular and
yet we offer a lot this morning
of the rare and sought for sorts
at IS per cent off. More tes-
timony to the solid truth, az

They came late to a New
York importer, and although
there is a general retail de-
mand for them, the season is
so tar gone that their whole
sale time might be over be-
fore the retailers could be
reached.
Shall the importer wait and
take chances, shall he secure
a sale to a single great buyer
for the whole lot? We offer.

THE Mckinley tariff on foreign

THE Mckinley tariff on foreign
tin-plate went into effect on the Ist
inst. The Baltimore SIN, com
menting on the fact, said I'm the
light thrown upon the subject by
the London Times, as given in a
cablegram yesterday, it would ap-
pear that the increase of the tariff
has been a blow at the great Welsh
product of tln-plate manufacture,
1t says "Sixty delegates from the
tin-plate working districts OF Wales
are going to the United States in
order to inquire into the prospects
of profitable employment there,
and to the statement made that
American agents in London are
buying the latest improvements il
tin-plate machines, as well as offer.
ing double wages to tin-plate work,
ers, says "Should the delegates
report favoraoly upon the prospects
for tin-plate workers in the United
States, it is not unlikely that there
will be so large an exodus to America
as to lead TO great portion of the
trade hitherto monopolized by Wales
being transferred to America.
Hitherto the idea has been that
it was impossible to manufacture tin
plates in America, owing to atmos
pheric conditions, but tin plate max,
ers who accompanied the Iron and
Steel Institute delegates to that
country reported that there was
nothing except the want OF skilled
labor to prevent the successful
manufacture of tin -platein America. "

The Gist of the Indian Troubles.

Most people are under the impression
that We are paying large sums of money
each year ont of the public treasury for
the support of the Indians. 1t will doubt
less be a surprise to such to learn that a
very large part OF the money appropri.
ated by congress for the Indian service be-
longs to the Indians and is held in trust
for them; so that in fact we are, TO that
extent, merely giving them their own.
Tue regular Indian bill generally appro-
PIRATES about s5,000,000. But after de-
Quoting the money which the government
only holds in trust and the necessary ex-
penses OF transportation and dis
tribution, 1t will be found, by
careful examination Of the accounts, that
the Indians get from the government for
their subsistence only about 81 per capita
yearly, or fraction less than cents a
day. The pay of the army amounts TO
about 81 900 per annum for each. soldier.
The principal business of these soldiers is
10 prevent Indian outbreaks. We thus
limit TIE Indian to , cents per day for
food, making him sufficiently hungry and
desperate TO commit some depreciation, so
that the soldier may have something to
do to earn his pay. This we dignity with
the title of craftsmanship; but from a
common-sense, business standpoint il
looks very much like saving at the spigot
and wasting at the bung-hole.

A handsome young woman who IS wcJl

votes great deal of her time 10 making
light the burden OF poverty which other
folks bear, recently found family worthy
OF her assistance, says the New York
Erening Sun. Ii consisted of A mother
and several children, the eldest girl oil
twenty years, wretchedly dressed. The
young woman cast about and finally Sc
cured a position in a wholesale candy
store for the girl.
The salary was fair. the hours were not
long, and all the girl had 10 do waa 10 pack
candy. She accepted the situation gladly,
and the young woman left the family
feeling that she had placed the girl in
position 10 earn enough money to support
them.
About two weeks later she called ut the
tenement where the family lived and was
surprised To find the girl at home.
"Why, what's the matter?' she asked.
"Are you not working today2"
"No, ma'am," was the reply. I'm not
working ut all"
When did you leave your place."

"What was the matter? Didn't they
pay you enough money!"
"Oh, yes, ma'am, the wages was NIL
right. II wasn't that"
WAS the work too heavy for your"
mo, ma'am, the work was light
enough"
The young woman began TO feel very
uneasy. She dreaded what might follow.
But she faced the situation bravely and
asked:
"Were you not treated right, them"
"Oh, yes, ma'am, was treated ali right,
but you see, ma'am, they put me TO work
