DINGLEY1sM AND OTHER LsMs

Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa made a telling
hit in his great speech in the house of
representative last Tuesday when
he read a series of resolutions offered
by Abraham Lincoln in 1843, declar-
ing for protection to American indus
tries and against borrowing money
to meet deficiencies. The name of
Lincoln is one to conjure with among
democrats as we'll as republicans,
and Mr.. Dolliver, in quoting from
tain his contention, followed the ex
ample repeatedly set by Mr.. Bryan in
his late canvass.
Mr.. Dolliver was quite right in as
Stunning that there is no difference be-
tween Lincolnism and Dingleyism.
He might have added that the latter
is also in complete accord with Jeffer
sonism and Jacksonism. Both the
great democratic presidents favored
protectsve tariff, and neither be-
lieved in paying old debts by con-
tracing new ones. 1t was reserved
for greater than either to boast of
a surplus in the treasury obtainhd by
borrowing 1852, 314, 400 in three
years.
Dingleyism is not without errors.
most of which will undoubtedly be
corrected before the final passage of
the bill But if choice were to be
made between it and Clevelandism,
the latter would be buried out of
sight by democratic votes alone. The
speech of Mr.. McLaurin of South Car
DINA in favor Of taxing raw materials
shows that Saul, too, is among the
prophets. Mr.. Delivers eulogy of
protection was eloquent and convinc-
ing, bnt the greatest tribute to its
merits thus far has been the action of
democrats like Mr.. McLaurin.-R
porter.

Indians and Crows.

BY Indian legend says Our Animal
Friends, the crow was selected by the
Great Spirit as a messenger to the red
men; he placed a kernel of corn In its
right ear and bean in the left, and sent
1t forth with the gift of life to his people,
wisely muffiing the ears of the crow so
that it might neither hear nor heed any
thing that might interrupt its flight. Be
cause of that mission the crows right to
share Of the Indians corn wherever
planted, Is never denied, and the life
bearing bird" has been reverenced by the
Indians forever.
Like the Indian, the crow has been track
ed, prosecuted and hunted by the pale
face" wherever he has loiter-
ed for shelter. He is &C
cused as a thief that is best when
he is dead. His usefulness in picking the
grubs out of the growing corn is not con-
sidered. If he snatches one grain of corn
with four or five grubs that are incompar-
ably more destructive than he, he Is con-
demned and shot as a plunderer.
By the Indian logic, "all the corn be-
longed to the Indian as original proprie-
tors; but the crow is an Indian, and, there
fore the corn belongs to the crow The
primitive Indian takes good care of the
crow and divides the corn with him at the
painting season. The farmer who shoots
the crow off his premises for the sin of
stealing a few grains of corn forgets to
thank him for the killing of the willy hen
hawk, the sneak-thief who frequents the
barnyard intent on a meal of young chick
ems.
The crow carries off an egg now and then,
but his small game is confined to field
mice, insects, grubs, small snakes, worms,
lizards and frogs, and in his winter hunger
he descends TO carrion. While he occa-
sionally worries small birds, his delight is
the owl, opossum and raccoon.
An Indian tells this story of a white
man and a crow:
The white man, who had killed a deer
for its skin, left it's body in an open place
in the forest. crow, flying over the
woods, swooped down to the deer, walked
all around it, talked to himself about it,
and then flew rapidly away. An Indian
took the deer to his cabin near by, and
while he was dressing it he heard COM
motion in the air. A crow, which seemed
to be leading a numerous flock, was
screaming with terror. The uproar con-
tinued for some time, and ended by the
entire fiock's surrounding the unfortunate
and pecking him to death, his body falling
to the ground in fragments. The Indian
argues that the first crow found the car
cass and generously flew to tell the flock,
and as the Indian had in the meantime
removed the deer, the disappointed flock,
falling to find it, had Just killed the leader
crow for telling lier

depended upon to furnish a topic for con-

tons, but 1 thought she would need them

had called.
Yes, mum, they did, she replied.
"'Who were they?'
They wouldn't tell their Names she
answered.

in surprise.

A Chance For IngaIIs.

The Rev Dr. Lyman Abbott, pastor OF
Plymouth church. Brooklyn, has given
ex-senator Ingalls, a chance to bring him
self before the country in a way that may
help him to get back to the United States
Senate. Mr.. ingalls, has been grad
ualiy dropping out of sight since
he failed TO secure a reelection
TO the Senate. and If he could show the
people Of Kansas that he is the same brill
liant Ingalls, who, in days gone by. was
regarded as having the sharpest tongue of
any man in congress, the people of his
state might take him up again and be-
stow upon him senatorial honor.
In his sermon last Sunday DR.. Abbott
in commenting upon the two kinds of
newspapers in New York, referred to the
rbett-Fitzsimmons fight at Carson, New,
and, in the course Of his remarks, said:
Two human brutes set to pounding one
another in a western state. one New
York newspaper showed It's enterprise by
spending thousands OF dollars in hiring
the governor Of the state and an ex-Sen-
ator Of the United States TO give an ac-
count of how the two brutes pounded one
another. What difference does it make
to the progress of the human race which
brute succumbed the first? That there
was a governor that stood in the place of
dishonor; that there was an ex-senator
that would prostitute his brain to write
the stories; that there was one shameful
state in these United States that allowed
the shameful exhibition to go on when it
had been abolished in every other state
these were events to chronicle. But which
brute succumbed first. and how they struck
their blows. what difference does that
make to the well-being of America or the
well-being of the human racer"
Mr.. Ingalls, is, of course, the ex-senator
which DR.. Abbott had in mind. 1t seems
to US that the ex-senator could get even
with the doctor and at the same time COM
mend himself to a large majority of the
good people of his state by criticising, in
his inimitable way, DR.. Abbott's sermon
on Jonah and the whale Mr.. Ingalls, has
of course been quite severely criticised for
reporting a prize fight but no Young
Mems Christian association has refused to
permit him to lecture in it's hall. Dr.
Abbott has met with such a refusal and
the senator might ask whether in the esti-
nation of moral and Christian people the
report of the prize fight was more to be
condemned than the Jonah and whale SER
mon.
