TnE DlNGLEY BILL.

Tie Dingley tariff bill is meeting
with the stubborn resistance OF the
Democrats i'll the House. It's in

regarding its taxing powers;
IL this measure is passed by this

tho American citizen can well Cxclaim
in tho language of nm Erglishman Of

thnt enters the mouth, covers the

taxes upon everything that is pleasant
to see, hear. feel, smell, and taste;
taxes on raw material and every fresh
value that in given to it by the in
dustry OF man. a tax on everything
on the earth and on tho waters under
the earth; on the sauce that pampers
mans appetite, and the drug that re-
stores him to health; on tho brass

THAT KANSAS BISHOP.

Ex-senator Ingalls, writes pep
perry letter to a Kansas Methodist
Bishop in which he tells some whole
some truths The Reverend jaw
waggers should coutine themselves
more closely to the truth when dis
cussing subjects outeide OF their par
ticular line Of thought and then they
would not run against suags. such
rs the good Kansas Bishop did.
Senator Ingalls, told the truth when
he said Tint the people who attended
the Carson knock-out were an aver
age Of American manhood. Kansas
or no other State In the American
Union can boast OF better men than a
large majority OF those were who wit
messed the blow that put Corbett ont
They many not have been as aes-
thetic or highly cultured as this good
Kansas Bishop but in all the elements
that 20 to make up American man
hood OF the best type they wore
greatly his superior. They would
scorn to bear false witness against
their neighbOr as this pretended fol-
lower Of the lowiy Nazarcne has done
against them. In this they gIick
closer to the laws handed down from
Mount sinaii than does this sniveling
Bishop who traduccs them.
IL these good preachers who never
tire of abusing Nevada because it
took the limit of OF prize-iighting
and allow men to fight TO finish,
would just lay aside their false piety
for little while and take i'll a finish
tight they would leave the arena with
higher estimate Of mankind than
they had on entering it. They would
simply see two well-traIned men, in
perfect health, fighting for supremacy.
1t is nothing more or less than Il
scientific test Of endurance and il not
nearly 30 brutal rs mnuy Of the games
these good clergymen look ON with
perfect composure.
Those who attended tho Carson
fight have no apology to make to this
Kansas Pharisee or to any other who
may rise in the pulpit and denounce
them. They saw the fight rs it was
and not as pictured by the distempered
brain OF a Kansas Bishop. III they
sinned in seeing it, much more do
those sin who lis about them and
traduce them. May God have mercy
on their shriveled souls!
