A FUGACIOUS CITY.

The city of Baxter Springs, Kansas,
once upon time, acting under the State
law, issued and sold certain number of
bonds and when the coupons became due
repudiated them in a manner worthy of
Turkey or Republican Pennsylvania.
The bondholders brought suit, and the
United States District Court gave iudg-
ment in their favor and ordered the city
officials to satisfy their demands, where
upon the indignant property holders
swore solemnly that they would never
pay cent of interest or principal, and
took up their city and walked. A letter.
writer states that they are moving their
houses to the adjoining towns and that
the more important business firms "are
"now arranging for the purchase of eighty
"acres of land, north of town, to which
"they intend to move their business
"houses. This will take most of the per-
"sonal property out of the city Limits, !"
and so when the Marshal proceeds to
levy on the city he will have to make
return of non est. Baxter Springs, as a
city, will have gone where the woodbine
twineth in virgin luxuriance and settle
there ito grow up with the country"
while its site shall never more be inhabi-
ted, but the wild beasts of the prairie
shall lie there, and the houses, which
have none to move them by reason of
mortgages, shall be full of doleful Great.
ures, and owls (Which, indeed, abound on
the plains) shall dwell there, and the
Kansas equivalent of satyrs shall dance
there.-N. Y. World.

NEGRO RULE.

H. V. Redheld in Cincinnati Commercial.
The negroes of the cotton States are
grossly ignorant and totally unfit to con,
duct decent government. They fill a
legislature with bribe takers, men with
out status in society, and who do not lose
in character by taking bribes, for they
had none in the first place. A low tone
is injected into every department of
government, and fraud, corruption and
bribe taking runs rampant. A legisla-
ture composed of a majority of negroes
is as certainly for sale as bushel of pea
nuts, and openly, shamefully so. Al.
ways with this exception: they cannot be
bought into the support Of a Democratic
measure. But where politics are not di-
rectly involved, they are for sale to the
highest bidder. And they are without
shame in it, caring nothing for public
opinion" having no status in society.
The negro legislator and the negro con-
vict pardoned from the penitentiary
have the same standing in society, all
down on common level, and that level
a swamp without bottom. This is why
black government in the cotton States
has been such a wretched failure, and
why they have been so permeated and
penetrated with fraud and corruption
from stem to stern and center to circum.
ference.

ATTORNEY TAFT ON HA YES,

Pittsburgh Post Washington Correspondent
Don Cameron complained to Attorney
General Taft about Hayes's perfdy.
"Oh, don't distress yourself about that, =,
said Father Taft. "Thats a habit he
has. have his written pledge that he
would not go before the Ohio conven-
ton for Governor if my name went be-
fore it; yet he broke his pledge, and
worked like a street-corner politician to
defeat my nomination, and he never yet
had the grace to apologize for his con-
duct. He is eminent as pledge breaker,
know of other pledges that he intends
to break. We know all about him in
Ohio, and the rest of mankind are likely
to form his acquaintance"

What EUarts Thought About Louisiana

[FrOm his Cooper Institute Speech

Suppose that this Intervention of mill
tary power to protect the action of an
independent State authority should hap
pen to be Exercised in Louisiana, or any
of 'ho states for the purpose of taking
ut the majority of an electoral college
when they were choosing the President;
or suppose that, if by subverting the vote
of that State, one man should be chosen
instead of the other who would have been
chosen if the State had voted without be-
ing acted upon by that authority, what
have You then but civil war, engaging
vast passions, vast multitudes of men on
the question of dispute over the Presi-
dencyP "Ah, you will never have that"
you say, "for we have the courage and
that common sense ofthe American peo-
pie which make free government possi-
BILE and permanent and strong Let any
body take STEP" you will say, "that
surpasses the fair limits of political agi-
tation, and the President who takes his
seat under such title shall have moth
ing but curses and Imprisonment, and
not the enjoyment of power" l submit
it to you, fellow citizens, that the mo-
ment we complacently accept the side
that profits by such intervention, and as
sumo that nothing but disappointment
and political disgust are on the other
side, principles are gone, and the way
will be open at last for usurpation.

Stephen G. Jones, editor of the Religio.

was shot dead in his Office this afternoon
by DR.. w. c. Pike, who Immediately gave
himself up. Jones lived with his family
at St. Charles, Illinois; is sixty-tive years
old and reputed wealthy. 1t appears
Pike and his wife have been rooming in
Jones's building this winter without pay
ing rent, and it is surmised this may have
caused the trouble Pike alleges as rea-
son for the killing that Jones seduced his
wife, and he produces confession signed
by his wife to that effect. Mrs. Pike con-
firms her husbands story. but the friends
of the deceased declare he was incapable
of the alleged crime. All the parties in
volved are Spiritualists, and the affair
causes considerable excitement. Pike
was held this afternoon without bail to

A VICTORY TO BE ENJOYED So
BERLY

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
There are some Republican jubilations
over the Inauguration of Hayes, and a
few sharp illustrations of the disappoint-
ment and vexation of the Democrats
But as a rule the yictors are taking their
triumph very soberly, both outwardly
and inwardly, and the vanquished are
certainly behaving quite as we'll as could
be expected under all the circumstance.
The Republicans, who reflect at all, prob
ably do not fail to see that, if the vote of
Louisiana had not been necessary to the
success of their candidate, it would hard
ly have been counted, and the Democrats
should not be expected to forget all at
once that their candidate had a majority
of quarter of million on the popular
vote, and at least as good title to the
Electoral votes of Florida and Louisiana
as his rival. In short, it is victory to be
enjoyed with great soberness, and It'll
defeat that requires more than all the
philosophy of the average Democratic
human nature to accept without protest,
to regard without misgiving, or to forget
without thoughts of revenge.

Sherman for the succession in 1880. 1t

that the General would have been nomi-
mated in place of Hayes, but he covered
his potatoes a little to deep; they did

Mr.. Bigelow-It is not necessary that
you should at present. don't suppose
Hayes would understand it either I

General Grant in England.

General Grant visits Europe, says the
New York Herald, at a fortunate time.
He has Just finished eight years Of civil
service, and for nearly fifteen years as a
successful soldier and as President he has
been one ot the foremost figures Of
America. England has not had time to
forget that II was his arm that ended our
civil war and that Il was under his ad.
ministration that possible strife between
the two nations in respect TO the Alabama
claims was averted by the Geneva arbi.
tration. He visits Europe in the matu-
rity Of his life and the ripeness Of his
fame, and will be received with none the
less respect because he appears not as
General or Chief Magistrate, but simply
as plain American citizen unaccredited
to courts or BovereignS. His visit is also
made impressive by the fact that two
Powers Of Europe are now engaged In
a war whose results no wisdom can fore.
cast, and one into which England may bs
herself drawn BY inexorable fate, while
Germany and France are prepared for
another struggle. The greatest soldier
OF America visits Europe at the moment
when she is threatened with her greatest
war since the trample Of Napoleon's
armies shook the Continent.

CHICAGO, Ills, May Sl.-A dispatch
was received this morning at Gen. Sheri-
dams headquarters, from Lieut.. Clarke,
dated Red Cloud, May Goth, and says
After careful investigation he consid,
ers part Of the Cheyenne's story
relating toSitting Bull to be absolutely
false, that Chief being north Of the
Yellow Stone if not north Of the Missouri
with the rest Of the Cheyennes. Part Of the
report appears to be founded on facts
though there is no certainty about 1t
but probably Lame Deer's village was
captured and their version Of the aiIairwal
given correct. Lame Deer was the ChieI
who was split of from the village and
brought in by Spotted Tail, saying that
he would take one more hunt and then
90 into one Of the agencies. He had the
reputation OF being a very bad Indian.
