more. Democrats never defeated
Mr. Ingalls,. Populists did. Mr.. In
gals never forgives successful adj
versary. His soul is too narrow for
that. lie holds no spite against
Kansas Democrats for they are too
few to awaken his fears or stir his
resentment. 1t is different with the
Peoples party. 1t dethroned him and
his venom overhows upon it as nat
uralIy as virus flies from the mouth
Of a dog affected with hydropho-
bia. Mr.. Ingalls, can be brilliant.
Greatness finds in his character no
moral foundation on which to rear
it's superstructure. His daggers of
sarcasm and his falchion of elo-
uuence are ever unsheathed by self
love and whetted for personal ag-
rrandizement. He is a bitter parti-
zan, but that patriotism that is as
broad as the boundaries of his coun-
trv, and enfolds in its protecting
arms the poor and lowly as we'll as
the rich and powerful, find within
his contracted bosom no precinct
spacious enough for an abiding
place. Essentially all aristocrat, he
has no genuine sympathy for the
masses. With q towering ambition
that acknowledges no moral ballast,
he is perpetual menace to the wei
fare of the common people, DALI
gerous explosive in his own party,
and q relentless and INSCRIPTIONS
antagonist of all others. With
those who understand him his praise
or blame will have little weight.
But there are many people in the
East who are so dazzled by the vol
utility of his tongue that they hav e
never questioned the sincerity of
his heart Enchanted with his sill
very eloquence they have never
asked what his hands have done for
his country or his constituents.
When they do they wifi find what
nature hates above all else-a total
vacuum

would warn against some statements
in this speech which, though it lacks
the old time fire, and dash, will be
read through the length and breadth
of the land. Utterly false and mali

become the object of his vitupera-
ton and the target for his malevo-
lence.
1t is bad enough that through the
pressure of low prices for produce,
the depression in the value ofrealty,
and the oppression of trusts and mo-
nopolies, every one Of which is the
offspring of Legislation which Mr.ln-
gals mas aided and alb 9tte |, the Gre
AZURE Of that party that he publicly
claims to serve and veuerate-l say
it is bad enough that all these dlsas-
tiers, together with successioh OF
unfavorable seasons have rendNed 1T
impossible for many Kansans to- pay
their debts promptly, without the
added burden of a malicious dema-
gogue's unprincipled misrepresenta-
ton
1t is enough that paying the high
rate of interest fixed by Republican
legislation, and forced to take the
beggarly prices for productions that
are the result of such party legisla-
ton that the homes of our people are
alicnated to capital at the rate OF
thousands every year, and that to-
day there are pending from fifty to
five hundred foreclosures in the dis
trict conrt of every Kansas county,
without these deplorable conditions
being aggravated by the assertion
that these heavily burdened people
are regulators, communists and
moral lepers
If eastern capitalists have loaned
money to western men who are un-
able TO pay, and whose security has
deprecated until it is inadequate,
let them understand that the Peoples
party had no hand in the legislation
that produced these results. The
Republican party has been the finan-
cial manager of the nation for thirty
years. 1t has managed to concen-
trate the wealth of the country in
the hands of q privileged few,
and send want and penury into the
homes of millions. IL has been
quarter of a century at the work
but no one can say that it has not
faithfully AID effectually performed
its mission.
Mr.. Ingalls, wants his old place in
the Senate. Republican success in
Kansas is his only hope, but if his
sagacity were not weakened by his
hunger for office, be would realize
that this hope was an apple of Sod
ON that would turn to ashes upon
his longing lips. To insure a Re-
publican victory, he unhesitatingly
defames and libe's the character of
a large majority of his fellow citi-
zens. He sends abroad to eastern
capital the warning to withdraw
from Kansas, for reputation and
the dominant party here are synon-
ymous terms. He says that emf
grafton should turn back unless it
would make homes among commun-
lists, for the wealth already here is
in danger of being re-distributed.
The inference is that unless the Re-
publican party triumphs, wealth
owners should gather up their be-
longings and emigrate to some point
where property will be safe Yes,
and Republican journals all over
the country take up the unwarranted

WITHOUT A DIRECTOR.
TIE ACADEMY OF ARTS AND
SCIENCE TO LOSE Mr.. BRANDT.

The Managers Compelled to Curtail
the Expenses to Meet Its Indebted
ness-The Galleries to Be Placed in
Charge or a Custodap-No Interrupt
ton in the Work of the Academy
Except Through the LOSS of Its
Director-The Managers Plans.
The Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences
will be without director Feb. l. Director
Brandt's year expires then and he has been
notified that there will be no funds available
for his salary for next year.
The plan OF the board of managers is to
place the academy in the care OF a custodian
who will occupy the directors residence
and will have entire charge of the property.
The galleries will be kept open aud will be
attended by a janitor.
The necessity for the new order Of things
arises from demand for the payment of
the debt the academy owes its president,
Gen. Henry r. jackson. The income for
the maintenance of the academy is
derived from the interest on
100000 of Augusta and Savannah
railroad stock which is its only income,
except admission fees, which amount
to about 81 900
ONLY THE INCOME AVAILABLE,
The investment itself. under the terms of
the Telfair hequest. cannot be used. only
the income derived from it, which is about
81 900.
The academy borrowed the money from
Gen. jackson to build the annex, which
constitutes the picture gallery, the statuary
hall end the directors residence,
studio and class rooms A part
OF the annual income, about 81 500,
hn1 hoov g.. - A.. -
est on this debt. The directors salary was
$4,000. The other $4,000 to So 900 was ex-
pended in the care of the academy, the pay
ment OF its running expenses and in other
ways. The board of managers in order TO
meet the demand for the payment OF the
debt has decided to curtail expenses by
doing away with the director and reducing
its other expenses to q minimum, placing
the property in charge of custodian with
out compensation.
TO BE FREE IN FIVE YEARS.
In this way the managers expect to be able
in about five years to pay off the indebted
ness and will be in position to devote that
portion of the income now required for in
terest on the debt TO the pur-
chase Of works of art. They will then be
in position to place the academy in the
hands of the director free from debt and
with n generous fund for its maintenance.
Director Brandt is expected from the north,
where he spends the summers as his summer
| residence at Hastings on-the-H Hudson, in a
short time and will devote himself TO the
| academy until February. IL was believed
| by some Of the managers that he
might be made its custodian, but
In view of the fact that he accepted
| the dictatorship at a personal sacrifice
IL is not thought probable he will continue
in that capacity after the expiration of the
present year. Mr.. Brandt has devoted his
energies to the academy since it was estab-
! lished and it is in part the result of his
efforts. The managers are satisfied that
they have made the best arrangement that
is possible for the conduct of the academy
| until its Indebtedness is paid.
