In7ersoll Talks About the Farmers.
Although Col Ingersoll. the distinguished
agnostic, is we'll informed On almost every
subject be confines himself as rule tolaw.
politics and religion. Once ina while, how
ever, he talks Of other matters in that pict-
uresque language for which heis so famous.
In g. Paul. Mimi, the other day the
spirit moved him to express his views with
respect to the farmers movement, and this
! is what he said:
do not blame the farmers for trying 70
better their condition. They have certainly
had a hard time and they feel that they
| have been oppressed by the bankers, rail-
roads, merchants, and patent medicine
makers, to say nothing OF ministers and
| lawyers. Everything seems to be against
them. They have to fight frost and floods
and droughts and all sorts OF worms and bugs
and specu ators and cyclones, and all the
birds of the air. Everybody aud every
thing takes toll from the farmers. No
wonder that they want to do something. |
do not think the plenks in the Cincinnati
platform can be fastened together and held
in place. The farmers ought to know that

government. The government is perpet-
ual pauper. | ask this one question-If
the government can make money why
should it collect taxes why not make what
II needs and stop bothering the peoplel
Still l am glad the farmers are discussing
these questions. They will find out what
the government can and cannot do.
Why couldn't Col. Ingersoll have stopped
talking when he had told of the troubles,
trials and tribulations of the farmersl
What need was there for him to ask that
question, viz; ''If the government can
make money why should it collect taxes!
why not make what it needs and stop
bothering the peoplea" Aud yet the re-
Gently organized Peoples party seems to
think that the government can make money
in unlimited quantities In the resolutions
1t adopted at Cincinnati it asserted that the
government had such right, and insisted
that it should make money and loan it TO
whoever wanted it at 2 per cent. per
annum.
1t is true the farmers have a pretty hard
time to make their farms profitable but it
is equally true that an unlimited issue
Of greenbacks would not benefit them In the

Injustice to Colquitt.

The New York Nail and Express COM
menting on the recent visit of Senator Col
quit TO Gov. Hill, makes the statement
that the versatile Georgian, although now
in his 6Sth year. is known as an agile fol-
lower of the saltatory movements of the
political cat, and the Georgians seem to
think that if he had not thought Hill was
likely to be bigger man than Cleveland he
would not have gone to Albany on purpose
to pay him visit"
Is not the foregoing unjust to Senator
Colquitt9 Who of those who know him
well will say that his political course has
been such as TO entitle him to be called a
political weather-cock? He went to Albany
TO see Gov. Hill, but can any one say that
he offered to support him for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination in 1892?
Senator Colquitt was warm supporter
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration, and If
he has changed his views with reference to
Mr.. Cleveland he has not vet announced
the fact. 1t is well known that the senator
is an earnest tariff reformer, while it is far
from certain that Gov. Hill is entirely in
harmony with his party on the tariff issue
1t is not easy to see, therefore, how Senator
Colquitt can consistently abandon Mr..
Cleveland for Gov. Hill The probabilities
are that the Mail GnG Express is not more
just to Senator Colquitt in insinuating that
he has become a supporter of Gov. Hill
than it is in characterizing him as IAN agile
follower of the saltatory motions of the
political cat"

A B G Undertakiug

A beginning has been made toward rapid
transit in New York city. The rapid transit
commission has reported in favor of an
underground railroad. The plan calls for
four track railway under Broadway and
other streets from South Ferry to the city
limits
The scheme is an immense one, and will
require mint of money to carry it out.
Can the money be obtained! 1t can with
out doubt il it can be demonstrated that
the railway will pay.
Rapid transit has been talked about for
good while in New York. The present
means of transit are not satisfactory. The
elevated and surface roads don't meet the
wants Of the times.
But Mr.. Gould, who owns the elevated
roads, and the owners of the surface roads
will not favor the scheme II it should be
carried into effect the stocks of their roads
would quickly drop below par. But the
movers in the underground scheme won't
trouble themselves about Mr.. Gould's losses.
What they want is money, and il they can
get all they want the underground railway
will be in operation within very few years.

Predicts Injury to the Party.

FROM Russell Hdrrison's Weekly CRepl.
The displacement, through legal technical
ity, of the democratic governor of Nebraska
Mr.. Boyd, from the high Office to which he was
fairly elected is q mistake of the gravest char
acter. 1t must result In lasting injury 10 the
Republican party in that state and in the ma
tion, unless she mistake is promptly and COM
petely rectIfed. The result Of Gov Boyd's dis
placement is TO place the gubernatorial office in
the hands OF a republican, though a democrat
was elected by fair and honest election, and a
clear and decided majority.

Sweetness is swooping down on Philadel-

be badly needed in the Quaker City. But
even Treasurer Bardsley's enormous short
age of municipal funds doesn't call for quite
as much sugar as now reported TO be hover
ing around the inlets of Penn town. Thirty
vessels carrying $4,000 tons of raw sugar
from the West Indies. valued at minimum
aggregate of $4,000. must make the in
habitants of that serene village feel de
cidedly comfortable and hopeful. Such a
thing doesn't happen there often.

Now Italy will probably be puzzled some
more. Since a number of Russians recently
drove fierce and dusky Italian into the
river at Denver in the course of an interna-
tional smuggling sociable. King Humbert's
statesmen will probably take recourse to
scratching their diplomatic heads again ia
their quandary as to whether they shall de-
mand money from Russia or from the
United States. Soaking an italian is I'M
doubtedly an offense against the monarch
with the straight hair. Beside money may

Sheppard has broken forth in fresh place.
Thus far ahead OF the opening of the worlds

miscuous and previous in this-or something

be necessary to get that fair securely
opened. After that is done there will then
be plenty Of time TO work up an earnest and

With the chance of losing such tower
Of UNCONVENTIONAL strength as the Union
Theological Seminary staring them in the
face, the Presbyterians assembled at De-
troit show disposition to look upon Dr.
Briggs and his somewhat progressive views
with decidedly more moderation. Evidently
they had never for a moment contemplated
such a possibility as that the whole faculty
of the seminary might stand by their
fellow and secede from the Presbyterian
church if he were dealt with too harshly.
But DR.. Briggs appears to have had au-
thority for laying before the assembly the
alternative of handling him carefully or
putting him out altogether and losing their
finest educational institution along with
him. Doubtless the assembly will manage
to find in the doctors theology features
which render 1t much less Objectionable
than it was at first regarded.

Papal newspapers in Rome show decided
inclination to discredit the statements con-

between Italy and the United States relative
to the New Orleans affair, because of their
belief that such a course would involve
papal recognition of the Italian government.
That sounds rather absurd. AS the italian
government apparently gets along very
well without from the pope it seems rather

vatican to so studiously avoid recognizing
