n. G. IngersoN.

The death of this noted man on
last Friday has been much COM
mented upon all over the country.
Colonel Ingersoll was famous for his
infidelity, and his books, pamphlets,
lectures, etc, against the Christian
religion. He was fine speaker, a
shrewd politician, aud good citizen,
but the speeches he made, and the
books he wrote against the Bible and
religion are the chief, if not princi-
pal causes OF his notoriety. For a
number of years he expressed the
wish to have lingering sickness
and slow death, that he might be
able to tell how it felt, and thereby,
we suppose, prove to the living that
his views and principles would sus-
tain IN the conscious approach and
reality of death, but of late he
changed his mind, and wished TO die
suddenly. His wish was gratified.
His death came suddenly, without
warnil 6. Fortunately for the race
such men have died before the &C.
complishment of their purpose, and
only ut long intervals in the worlds
history have they had successors. 1t
is to be hoped that the intervals may
lengthen.

FRIDAY, JULY % 1899.
The Ditch Again.

AT the risk Of being called ''kick.
er," ''grumbler." crank, and various
other names, we have kept the ditch
question before the people We are
glad that the people are taking up
the matter themselves. Various sug'
gestions have been made. One is,
that the people living along the line
agree to pay One-half the cost Of o
II inch sewer pipe put down ther e
along the front of their property.
We are sure number of the prop
erty owners would agree to this, or
to almost any proposition that would
rid them of the evil. But n number
OF the people living there are unable
to bear this expense, even if it were
right to ask it. 1t should be remem.
beied that every dollar Of those
peoples taxes since they came into
the corporation has been spent up
town except the side walk, of which
cost they paid One-half. a little
money is being spent there now in
macadamizing little cross street,
and only one man, we believe, on
that street owns buggy or wagon.
They have meyer had as much as n
kerosene street lamp, but they have
paid their taxes, we suppose, and the
money has been spent to improve
and make comfortable and slightly
the streets i'll front of other peoples
houses.
Now, we hardly think it fair to ask
them to pay heavy additional tax
to make sewer. There are citizens
living in that vicinity who would
build it themselves if they could,
rather than have the health of their
wives and children placed in jeop
ody. Again, the people in other
parts oil the town do not seem to
know that that old fever breeding
ditch is as dangerous to them MS to
those living on the line. The entire
town is almost as liable, SO the ply
siclnns say, to sickness and death
from that ditch, as the people who
live in the immediate neighborhood.
You had not thought of this. But,
what of the proposition? Will the
property owners agree to pay one
half the cost of putting down a drain
pipe along in front of their property?
The cost, at rough guess, will not
be over $500 per lot of sixty feet to
each mans part.

Tyler and Martin.

1t is not clear to the average man
just why Governor Tyler should be
sent to the United State Senate at
this time, in place OF Senator Martin.
Governor Tyler is exactly where we
want him--where he asked us to put
him, and just why he should vacate
an Important and responsible posi-
ton which he is capable of filling,
and is filing satisfactorily, is not
clear. The Governor, in an inter.
view say that he is fighting an "of1ice
trust in the State. Again it is not
clear. If there is such a trus, it
must be that Senator Daniel belongs
to it, and the same trust that elected
MIR. Tyler governor. In common
with many of the Governors numer.

he has seen fit to take the stand
which he has.

illuminating and Alarming.

Under the above heading the
Richmond Times makes some strik-
ing and truthful remarks. We
make few extracts from this Wig
orous editorial:
The bare statement that he
correspond hts have not been per.
United to tell the whole truth as
to condition of affairs in the Phil.
ippines and the result Of our oper-
ations on the island will not be in.
formation to the public. Even had
not the fact that censorship had
been established leaked out
through 1ongkong long ago, all
intelligent readers Of the news
papers would have been aware of
its existence. These had but to
read between the lines of the Ma
nilla cablegrams and compare those
advices with private letters from
the Philippines in order to see that
all "news" was very rigidly cen
sOrcd.
However, few persons were pre-
pared for such disgraceful reve-
IatiOns as the correspondents make
when they 20 into details.
That charge is that the adm in
istration, through General Otis,
has forced the correspondents to
participate III positive misreprc.
sentation by altering unquestiOncd
statements of facts. In plain En-
glish, the correspondents have
been compelled by Gen. Otis to
perpctrate upon the American peo-
pie deliberate falsehoods, and rs
General Otis Is the agent and the
instrument Of the administration,
there remains no question as to
whence the order for his compul-
sion emanated. 1t is clear that
General Otis would not have dared
to go to the lengths in this matter
he is represented to have been
backed by the authorities at Wash
ingten. The government Of the
country stands arraigned before the
world for conceiving and engineer
ing ole Of the most monsirous con
spiracles to deceive that was ever
concoctcd. But that is not all.
The protest is alarming. 1t ban
ishcs all possible doubt that our
work in the Philippines has just
commenced. 1t fully sustains the
estimates OF those who contend
that ere the Filipinos have been
"benevolently assimilated" thous.
ands OF lives and millions of mon
cy, wrung from the taxpayers of
this country, will have been sacri-
feed OH the altar of Mr.. McKin-
iey's imperialistic ambition. Iii
