Chicago IoL
Colonel IngerIoll has made another oil
his periodical raids on Chicago, He
has demolisboI Christianity, all religi-
GUS croeds, spiritual hope in this world
and for all worlds to come, at the usual
ratio OF compensation, Seemingly the
colonel's popularity and reputation for
%elOquenGo arc not waning, and tue vast
crowds that poured into tho Columbia
theatre last evening demonstrate that
people are as eager as over 10 witness q
great coRilagrNtIon or observe from q
safe distance the progress ola dynamite
blast, For The fact that 1900 to 1000
people flock TO hear Colonel lngersoll
does not necessarily argue the triumph
OF p~9ganism, but speaks rather for the
qualification Of q certain low impulse IN
man which delights in the rldiCule and
abuse Of established institutions.
Colonel lnrersoll delivers the same
old lecture in the same old way. he
aims to give each OF his auditors a dol.
lars worth OF ''lun." AZ tho eud OF
every sentence hO chuckles az u tip to
the audience to laugh-a little platform
trick that never deserts him, In his
moments OF assumed seriousness he
tears down tho inith OF ages, thS hope
that has sustained million1 oil Christian
men and women, aud concludes With a
rhetorical flourish that "thii poor world
may live without u crime, without u
tear"
without a lcar~ Aud, pray, whata
the balm which Colonel lngersoll
brings to tho human heart? What
joyous specific does no offer to dry up
human tearS2 What does he give in
exchange for that which no has taken
away? This peddler OF intide,ity is
chuckling himself iuto old age hO has
amaSsed wealth from those who per.
hapS enjoy moro than they believe him,
but hearts will 20 on aching aud tearS
will continue to flow, while the remedy
Ia something better and moro enduring
than the ridicuIe OF u scoGer. This
poor world" must have its grieiS, but
it also has Its hopes and It's consola.
tionsi yet Of these Colonel lngersoll Is
giving nothing.

Once again the people embrace the
opportunity to register a ringing pro-
test against Democratic tariff policy
Democratic politicians aud newspapers
told them that the times were better
than they wero under the Republican
policy Of prOtectiou, aud that this was
due to the Democratic tariff policy.
They gave padded returns OF an in
dustrial and commercial prosperity
which doe, not exist.
The eaor. to misload has failed abso-
lu.ely. The people we're not deceived.
They went to the polls to say that Dem.
ocratic policy does not suit them, and
that they intend to keep at the work un-
til they restore responsibility and power
70 the party which has shown that i.
knows how to make q good use. Of both.
Nobody who reads the returns can
doubt that II the election had been gen.
eral, involving tho presidency and the
Congress, the Democratic party would
have been routed aud the Republican
restoration have been made complete.
Thi. contamination is only delayed for
a year. This is the u~nmistaksble
meaning Of this years voting.
