Mr.. Crandau, of Louisiana, went
to Kansas to- Investigate the negro
exodus question, ami he says that
in Kansas the negro could hardly
buy land AT all for the reason that
the land owner found it difficult to
sell any adjoining tract to the
white settlers moving into that
State, and that the prejudice of the
white labor there against the negro
is equal to that of the Caifornians
against the Chinese. Kansas does
not want them.

THE FIRST STEP.
Augusta Chronicle: In reforming
public opinion, the first thing to be
done is to make the carrying Of
concealed weapons not only odious,
but inconvenient. Until that shall
have been done, the bloody drama
will be re enacted. The horror at
Atlanta did not prevent the afiray
at Waynesboro Pistols and whIs
ky are among the curses of the
land that need reforming alto

JUST TWO WAYS.
Cleveland, O., Herald: If the
Southern people would only rele
gate the custom of carrying deadly
weapons to the cowardly and black
guardly element to which it proper
ly belongs, it would save them a
deal of suffering, and tend material
ly to advance their social and pc
cuniary interests. In a civilized
a nan with revolver
in his pocket carries prima facia ev-
idence about his person of being
either a fool. coward, or knave,
as no honest, brave or sensible man
can, in such a community, be ex-
pected to have any use for such a
weapon. There are just two ways
Of breaking up a generally prevail
ent custom of carving concealed
mortal weapon--one is by making
the act of itself crime punishable
nv severe penalties, and the other
is by bringing to swift justice all
persons who use such weapons. A

about either of these en1s will be a

The Afghan War.

It is sixteen days since General Roberts,
with the British troops at Cabua, was beaten
by the Afghans in series of sharp fights
near that city, and compelled TO abandon it
and take refuge within the lines of forti-
fed camp near by. Precisely what has
happened to him since then is not known
outside of his camp. Indeed, we have had
very meagre accounts of the fights that pre-
ceded his mishap, for the British press,
discouraged, perhaps, by the rules made
for correspondents, seems to have cut it's
service down to the lowest possible point,
and thus the host of volunteer and ener-
getic news gatherers and news carriers
which might have given an exact account
of the condition were not in harness on
been absolutely free since General Rob-
erts has been in Sharpur they could have
told but little, since communication has
been kept up only by signalling with o
mirror. 1t was reported yesterday that
General Cough, from Jagdallak, had
reached and reinforced General Roberts.
General Cough had two regiments
one of Punjab cavalry, another of
Punjab infantry. 1t appears to be as
sumed in the London dispatches that
this reinforcement is Of some impor-
tance, and in fact is enough to turn
the scale as between Roberts and the
Afghans, which seems to US to attach On
excessive value to two native regiments.
We do not believe that this reinforcement
can make much difference in General Rob-
erts' position, and that unless the Afghan
force has been broken mp and dibpersed by
dissensions Of it's own his predicament is
nearly as bad as ever.

that due attention will be given these
little boxes, for they are intended for the
benefit of the city hospitals. Those who

afford to remember those who linger in
our hospitals. If every passenger on
these several routes to-day will drop ON
additional fare into the boxes pro-

handsome sum. Tomorrow collections are

The effective use recently made of the
heliograph by General Roberts in his
Afghan campaign shows the great value Of
the instrument in the hands of skilful
commander. Signalling by means of re-
fected light is not a novelty, but its appli-
cation to military movements Is but just
coming to be realized in tho English army.
'sThere is no doubt" said the London
Times, after the fearful disaster at Isan dula,
South Africa, "that had visual signalling,
either by the heliograph or by flags, been
adopted in South Africa the disaster of

If the emancipation project which passed
the Spanish Senate on3Christmas Eve were
o bona Jtide measure it would indeed be
"glad tidings of great JOY" But there is
strong reason to fear that it is nothing OF
the kind, but merely clumsy attempt to
prevent immediate emancipation under
cover of sanctioning it in distant future.
The bill which was adopted with such un-
precedented unanimity is not the bill in
troduced by the Cabinet of General Mar
tinez-Campos, nor is it fulfilment of
the promises made by that statesman
to the people of Cuba It pro-
vides for long period Of compulsory
servitude before emancipation, which is
not to commence in any case until 1886,
and may drag along for several years more.
It is known that Martinez-Camposw was the
great advocate Of immediate emancipation
in Cuba in pursuance of distinct pledge
made to the inhabitants. of that island. It
is known that the project introduced by
him recognized that Spain, no less than
Cuba, should bear the financial burden Of
this great measure of reparation, and that

totha owners OF slave property. Finally,
it is known that it was his inability to OBJ
tain the sanction of his own project which
led him to resign Office last month.
It is. therefore, without surprise that
we see the names of Martinez-Campos,
Jovellar and Concha figuring beside
the Senators for Cuba and Puerto Rico
in opposition to the project which has just
passed the upper branch Of the Spanish
Cortes. The bill that has been enacted is
not genuine measure Of emancipation. It
is solemn mockery, which "keeps the
word of promise to the ear, but breaks it to
the hope" The loyal oondnct of Martinez
Campos and the Cuban Senators in utterly
rejecting the delus1ve offers Canovas del
Castillo is of good omen. onarohical
Spain cannot afford to trife with the name
and fame of her best ysoldier--of the re-
storer of the crown and the pacifef of
Cuba. Itis to be hoped that the indigna-
ton which should follow such an unworthy
attempt to juggle with plighted faith no
less than with the rights of an oppressed
race will result in the recall of Martinez
Campos and the enactment -of genuine
measure Of emancipation. .s
