THAT SECOND CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
The Kansas voter, last election day, in saving
an annual expense and foolish waste of time every
fall and spring By carrying the amendment to the
constitution providing for biennial elections did the
editors OF the good turn. It had come TO be
an eternal round CT elections unending campaign
in tie interest Of party ana p2rzaas The oaceseekeT
never let go MS grp the editor from one years end
to another It had got that point where the average
editor did vacation winter or summer
for that the interest Of candidate or nominee
might suffer by his absence The result was that both
edior and reader grew unuteraby tired Of politics The
story became so onotonous in its continuing chap
ters as to be void of eject force Those who did
not tire Of the eternal din grew Indifferent The new
amendment relegates the candidate ana obyates the
mental stress Of the editor With an election only once
in two years and for everything and everybody there
will be a chance for some vital activity and cheerful
interest When a paper once only in two years here
after declares that Jim Jones the thing that ever
happened on ticket somebody may be found swallow

A DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATE OF INGALLS,.

AS measurer Of men. as an estimator of the worth
Of political character the editor OF the Washington Post
has gained quite reputation His close study Of ma
tionaI figures at the Capitol aside from his partisan
learnngs renders his opinions Of individuals worthy OF
consideration And unquestionably they thus con-
sdered The following brief deneation of the lamented
ingalls, is just tribute to the greatness Of man who
was nartyred by political craze for which in no
wise was responsible The following is the estimate
of the great Kansan By the editor named:
The Atchiscn Globe Of a recent date announces the
early appearance the ingalls, Book This publication
has been awaited with general interest and in some
quarters with inpsdence for it is widely known that
will contain carefully selected and edited, the
public uterances OF the most brilliant orator and writer
this country produced during the past fifty years
His party associates have at times declared him
rate Re been charged with eccentrcity. Such is
and always has been the verdict OF hediocrity
genius. But there be doubt to the literary
value Of Mr. Ingalls, works Upon that point, every one
capable OF recognising splendor CT thought and
and power Of expression viii agree.
bitter satirizt whitening accuser he was also an
inpasscned ceebrant of every high and noble aspira
ton every simple virtue breast burned fame
pures patriotism In the same bosom ragged fury of
contempt for humbus and hypocrisy shams and frauds
nsncerities found him pitless blasting
scourge He the laureate OF courage candor chiv
airy Brilliant and versatile he profound gracious
he savage, john J. ingalls, constituted force
in public affairs at ence terrible and captivating
In all things, however he was luminous well
powerful; gracious well deep. Nothing beau
tful and tender than his tribute Senator Anthony
of Rhode Island uttered. OF his astounding
arraisnments of ignorance prejudice superstition and
dishonesty, the book will speak
As last word may say that after eighteen years
in the United States Senate he retired poorer in purse
than when he entered it, and that, in all the
comment and criticism that followed him to private life
there was never once note Of accusation against his
personal integrity.
