THELEADERs ofthe Republican party,

evidently sick Of negro suffrage, are
quietly debating the best means to be rid
of it and its influence on Congress-
They will doubtless before long make a
movement in favor of cutting down the
representation in the lower House from
the Southern States or substituting some
qualification for suffrage. Mr.. Blane's
speech will quicken their ideas in this
direction, as well as be the means of
creating the worst feelings of animosity
between the two sections Of the country.

Bethany College.

An institution favorably located, large
and well built, provided with experienced
and competent instructors, and with the
best of facilities for the comfort and
health of its inmates, and managed in
every detail with the most scrupulous
regard for the mental, physical and NOR
al growth and culture of its pupils, could
hardly be expected in so new a state as
ours, and yet this is but moderate esti-
mate of Bethany College, Topeka, con-
Quoted solely for the education of young
ladies. 1t is an institution not equalled
in this field by any other west of the
Mississippi river, and surpassed by very
few if any in the United States. These
claims will be found not overstated by
all who will examine into the many adj
vantages which this college offers. Its
patronage, without regard to denomin-
alton, is steadily increasing, and its GER
tificates of scholarship enable the gradu-
ates to take high rank whenever they
happen to enter upon professional life.
1t is an institution that we most cordially
commend to the attention of parents who
have daughters to be educated in the
best manner, at the most moderate ex-
pense practicable, and we take pleasure
in calling attention today to its card in
our columns
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1878-10-25
Our Home Charity.

1t seems only due to the ladies of the
Christian Work Society, to call attention
to their work since their organization,
sixteen months ago. From their record
we gather the fact that nineteen fami-
lies have been aided in various ways.
Food, fuel and clothing have been fur
nished, rents been paid for sick, help
less women; employment found for will
ling hands; the dead robed for burial,
and for one little waif, worse than or
phaned, a permanent home provided.
This, in brief, has been their work IN
our midst, but who can estimate the val
ne of the kind, encouraging words, the
pleasant smiles and ever ready sympa-
thy that have gone with all this labor.
In every case the assistance rendered is
only designed to be temporary, they feel
ing that true charity is to make the re-
cipient selEhelpful. The cause is good
one, and we trust the success of their en-
tertainment may be made sure. Let ev-
cry one remember that these ladies are
working for the poor-whom We always
have with us-withOut any recompense
for their labor save the sweet knowledge
that suffering womanhood, and hungry,
wailing childhood have been relieved by
their efforts

We were perfectly willing to let the
question of circulation alone, becausewe
have no desire to parade our well known
advantages as an advertising medium.
A business man in Emporia who has
good judgment, and who advertises for
business results, patronizes TIE NEWS
as a matter of course. We do not i'm
perfume any one for advertising. We do
not need TO, and would not if we did
need to. A business man ought to know,
without being badgered or begged, where
to advertise for his own benefit, and
when we see him advertising in q sheet
of comparatively no circulation or use to
him, and at the same time neglect to ad-
vertise in THE News, we suppose it is
because he has bill to trade out, and
has no other way of getting his pay. 1t
Is his affair, not ours, and we have no
business to AJAX why he advertises in
this or that paper. We know very well
where he will advertise if he is advertis-
ing for business reasons, and we go right
along minding our own business and in
serting all the advertisements that are
handed to us, and not troubling ourselves
about advertisements that go anywhere
else. Business is business. every time,
and there il business in advertising in
THE NEWS, and no mistake about it.
The question Of circulation Is none of
our raising. We bad not referred to it
until the Greenba cker's repeated and alb
surd lies about its ephemeral campaign
list made II necessary for US to take the
wind out of its gasbag, A fiat circula-
ton is one thing; abonafde, solid twen-
ty-one-year circulation Is another thing,
and one that business men can afford TO
pnt proper valuation upon.

Prairie Fire.

A prairie fire commenced ON Fall
river on Thursday or Friday last, and
ran north to the headwaters of Yer
digris. On Saturday it burned 80 tons
of hay for Mr.. Carson. 1t continued
north to Pheanis creek The wind
changing northwest Sunday night, drove
the fire southeast about three miles,
when it suddenly shifted to the north,
driving the fire south toward the Verdi
girls. On Shaw creek, Robinson Funk
lost so tons of hay, Marion Stork about
70 tons, John Burris 40 tons. On the
divide between Shaw and Rock creeks,
Zenas Grove lost 100 tons, John New
man lost all he had, something over a
hundred tons. On Rock creek, the fence
of c. c. Farren, on the east side of his
farm was entirely destroyed. James
York, living on the farm, lost his stable,
all his farm utensils, harness, and 300
bushels of corn. The same fire was run
ming Wednesday morning and burning
off the grass for many miles in extent.
Esquire Chamblin, who has been long
time resident of that section, says he
never saw bigger fire than this in that
region of country Other damage must
have been done.

MESSRs. EDITORS. - InaSmuch as a
certain Mr.. Bascom has permitted his
name to appear before the public as a
candidate, by the Greenback party, for
the Office of county superintendent of
common schools, we wish to give pub
licity through the medium of your
paper, to some remarks relative to
his incompetency to perform the
duties of that Office. We speak in be-
half of the interests of public instruction,
and independent of political considera-
tiOns, that the candidate above named is
practically unfit to discharge the duties
of the office referred to. To prove this it
is only necessary to intimate that man
not capable of standing thorough eX-
animation in order to obtain an GA"
grade Certificate to teach rudimentary
school cannot and should not be regard
ed as fit person to examine others for
that purpose, and of course altogether
unfit to assume the important and re-
sponsible office of superintendent of pub
lie instruction. We ale thus obliged to
conclude that his nomination must be
regarded as a strong proof of the lack
both of wisdom and material-an insult
to the man himself, and a fraud on the
community.
We think it no more than right to
place this matter in its proper light, al
though we have no fears whatever in re-
gard to the triumphant election of the
present incumbent, Mr.. Wharton, who
has so faithfully and efficiently exercised
all the duties of his Office, to the COM
plete satisfaction of all concerned.

New Jersey notions About Kansas

---~--~---N
A gentleman in Switzerland, who pro-
jects bringing colony of Swiss people
to Kansas, sends to friend here copy
of letter he has received from an ac-
quaintance in Hoboken, New Jersey,
which letter gives the following view OF
Kansas:
1.-THE state is little better than a terri
tory. The authorities are not yet organ
lied, and the laws not enforced. Mob
law rules, and the life and property OF
citizens is not safe, and in buying prop.
erty the chances are that you are dealing
with scoundrels, and it is extremely diff
ficult to get a good title. They say that
a stranger recently came into the state to
look at lands, and bought saddle-horse
of resident, and paid for the same and
while riding it shortly after, was over
taken by some men and asked who he
bought the horse of. He told them he
did not know the mans name, whereup
on they said he must have stolen tn e
horse, and they hung him to the first
tree"
We have furnished the Kansas agri
cultural report for 1876, including the
Centennial report, to be sent to parties in
Switzerland, to give an idea of what Kan
sas really is. The New Jerseyite who
could perpetrate such an account as the
above never could have ventured as faI
west as Philadelphia, doubtless imag
ines the Union Pacific railroad a myth
and that the United States west of Pitts
burg is a bowling wilderness. For 6
Partisan to write such letter might bC
excusable, but for New Yorker or E
New Jerseyite to do it exeites feelings
that we could not decorously express.

THAT BoY."-There was a good au-
dience at the Presbyterian church Tues
day evening to hear DIR. Vincent tell
about THAT Boy" and boys in general
The lecture abounded in good lessons to
parents, and to the public and in pathos
and humOr. The delivery was most pleas
ing, and not word was lost. For an
hour and half the audience was held
in close attention, and went with the DIR.
speedy from peals of laughter TO CRAWL
ty of cOuntenance, and to tears. The
flashes of wit and sarcasm applied to
the many follies in the management of
boys, cut like keen blade, and yet were
so pleasantly given as to be without
sting. DR.. Vincent is one of the finest
speakers we have ever listened to, and
certainly none excel him in natural wit.
The gravest face must kindle with laugh
ter before him, and the hardest heart
must melt at his forcible and beautiful
ly expressed sentences. The lecture was
a rich feast Of good things, and the pa
rents and all were greatly benefited by
its delivery here. One thing DR., Vim
cent can be sure OF, and that is large
audience if he should visit Emporia at
any future time,
