A GOOD STORY ON INGALLS,

Senator Ingalls' meager endow-
ment Of flesh has been the occasion
Of . good many stories, one Of the
best Of which was related the other
night by another Kansas man at
the West.
"You know how lean ingalls, is"
he said. "Well, down in Atchison
there is . doctor, who is . great
friend OF the Senator. This doctor
has been greatly annoyed by =
newsboy who would come into his
Office very unceremoniously and
poster him by trying to sell papers.
"One day when Ingalls, was in
the Office the boy was heard coming
up stairs, and the doctor decided to
put up job on him. He rushed
out an articulated skeleton, placed
it in chair by the desk, and then
the two men withdrew to the back
room.
'In rushed the boy, and, with
out noticing what was at the desk,
came directly up to the skeleton.
When he looked up and saw it
grinning at him he was nearly scared
into convulsions, and bolted tor
the door, yelling bloody murder.
The joke :ickled the doctor, but
Ingalls, conscience pricked him,
and, going to the window, he looked
out 1t the boy who was standing
below crying.
"Come up stairs, my boys he
said. Ill buy one of your papers.
But the newsie hegan to yell
harder than ever, and between his
sobs he managed to blubber out:
oh. you can't fool me, even II you
have put your clothes on. Mime

the designs shall be passed upon by per-
sons who know something about art and
are capable of Judging of the merits of
the designs. 1t will not do TO depend
upon the men who chance to be in

recent ridiculous history OF the Column

AN EXCELLENT ILLUSTRATION.

The fact hat Democratic State Off
GERS have entered into a contract with
prominent Democratic officials n
others to furnish them the best labor in
the northern prison at AZ cents a day,
with board. has caused much comment
and not a little indignation on the part
of mechanics in this city and vicinity.
There is every reason that such a trans
action should cause indignation, because
his company propose TO make 5000 BIZ
cycles a year with labor which will not
cost one-fourth of the current wages for
mechanics. 1t means that the product
of so much convict labor, at less than
one-fourth of fair wages, will take the
place of the same product of free labor.
1t is robbing free labor of employment
Its due. Every intelligent worlingman
Will admit this
Now. carry ii a little further: If the
cheaper labor In the prisons in Indiana
will displace fairly paid free labor in
Indiana and other States why will not
the products OF the cheaper labor in
Europe? There can be no difference In

the effect OF cheap labor upon fairly
paid labor. whether the competition is
in the Indiana penitentiaries or In Eng
land. or Italy. or Canada If there IS
nothing to keep the products Of the COM
peting cheap labor in Europe from the
American markets 1t will win them the
same as the products OF the accent
labor liz the northern prison will capture
the market for the common variety of
bicycles. The Atlantic ocean is no
hindrance, with the present freight
charges. which are less per ton han
for seventy miles of railroad. Conse-
quently when all the protection which
the tariff may afford is destroyed one of
two things must happen, namely, the
American manufacturer must go out of
the industry, as will the maker Of BIZ
cycles, or his American employees must
accept about the same low grade of
wage for which his European COMPETE
tor is forced to work.
That is. the result which every me-
chanic sees in the employment of hun
dreds of convicts at one-fourth Of full
wages will have upon the interests of
well-paid labor in the competing indus
tries will as surely follow the abolition
of a protective tariff.

-
Yesterday a dozen Republicans re-
ported hat they had been approached
oy Democrats with proposals to swap
votes. pledging to vote for n Repub-
lican on the county ticket for a Repub-
lican vote for Mcguire or Johnson, the
greater part of the tenders being for
the latter. The name that several of
them offered to sacrifice to help Mr..
Johnson was that of William d. Bynum.
One Democrat who has not been long
n the city offered a Repub-
lican to vote for Henry and any other
name on the county ticket If the Re
publican would vote for Mr.. Johnson.
Aside from the reason that the Re-
publican county ticket is an excellent
one from top to bottom and should re-
ceive the full support of every Repub-
lican and every other man who desires
to put an end to the p~rofigacy and cor
ruption with which Taggartism has
hopeycombed the affairs of Marion coun-
ty and to restore responsibility to the
county courts, two very grave dangers
are involved in the proposition.
First-There are twenty-five names on
iC COully tlCfct,
the Republican making such an ex-
change would be compelled to use the
stamp twenty-five times-twenty-one
times before the names of Republican
candidates and once before the name Of
Mr.. johnson or Mr.. Mcguire. With
Democratic election officers to decide,
the chances are that half of the Repub-
licans attempting to use the stamp that
number of times would so mark their
ballots that they would be rejected.
Second-These Democrats who, for the
most part. are acting under the instruc-
tons of Taggart, Mcguire or Johnson,
would not keep their promise. but would
vote the straight Democratic ticket. 1t
Is fair to make this assumption. now
that Taggart has repudiated a written
agreement regarding the order of the
names on the county tickets. The men
who are acting upon the instructions Of
a man who has shamelessly broken a
written contract, the validity of which
he had recognized by a hundred acts,
are not to be trusted to keep a promise
which they can violate without being de-
tected.
For these reasons no careful Repub-
lican will make himself the dupe of
Thomas Taggart to promote the election
of his men, Johnson and Mcguire.

without right. are supposed TO have iHfiu-

are mtlmations even that the men who FUR

sion that IL was to be distributed pro rata

comments upon the operations or the sugar
Trust would be either less severe or that
they would be altogether withheld. 1t is,
or course, assumed that the distributor or

There are limitations, even. that a list
was furnished of the names of correspond

tributed. and that the expectation was that
IL would be expended IN dinners and in
part in ways that would be appreciated by
those for whom IL was intended.
IF there is anything in this story IL 10
safe TO say that not one dollar OF this al
legged fund ever passed 10 the representa-
tive correspondents for whom IL is reported
that IL was designed. The man who under.
took to disburse this fund did so with full
knowledge that IL would not be safe for
him to approach any OF the gentlemen
whose names may have appeared on this
pretended list for any such purpose what
ever. He not only is not on relations Of
upon any Of them when In Washington.
Efforts are being made to ascertain the
truth OF this report. and III IL shall be YER
