To the Editor of the GlobeD Democrat:
| observe in the newspapers that an attempt
was made To saddle upon the Kansas Railroads
the responsibility OF inducing pauper omgra-
ton from the South. The practice OF this de-
partmant is to discourage all persons from
coming who have not the means to settle upon
and cultivate a tract of land Within the last
two months letters were received from Missss-
ippi and Louisiana relative to the large num-
bers of poor coored people who We're ready To
come We replied that they should not come
unless each family had from $500 to $500.
Their condition here would be worse than in

interest manifested concerning it,

latlon TO this matter early as possible and an
approximate estime as to the number that would
attend such an destitute frpm your county.
Yours truly,

We should Judge from the amount OF
trouble and litigation in regard to mining
claims in some localities that there is an
imperative demand for some general and
definite legislation on the subject of mines
and mining claims, so that there need be
no misunderstanding in location and
working mineral claims. For years the
public lands have beer taken up, and
thousands of farms and homesteads loca-
tod in accordance with the laws OF the
differen, States and Territories, and yer
little trouble or litigation from misunder-
standings has resulted under the oper-
alton of the various legislations. To us
It seems that it would not be q difficult

Throughout the country there is perhaps
as much interest in this state of Kansas

going into the early history of Kansas,

1t is for mans use, and sensible men are

Greater put il when he finished things

the Sabbath should remain what the de
maEr!s of nature made it-a day of rest
and recreation. Col. 1ngcrsoll IN his
war on the superstition and folly of some
of his preachers, Is carrying his ideas
too far. As intelligence increases and as
superstition gives way 10 ca;Ealon sense,
the seventh day will come into use for
which il Was intended, and a use for
which II Is absolutely necessary, a day OF

leon of religion has not yet arisen Wien

A MORAL WITHOUT THE EARLE

This is an old topic, but it is discussed
In a new way. The new version is that
the farmer comes 10 the city with a lot
OF TAT cattle or p Car load of wheat, sells
out for good, round price, and he starts
out TO have a lark and see the sights.
lie Is at once marked out as lawful and
easy prey y the sharpers who are con-
stantly on the outlook for soft cases, and
every trick is resorted 10 by them known
to the fraternity of gamblers and con-
hdence men by which he can be flceced
out of his money; and not many DAYS
pass IN this city, that sSme Yerdant coun.
tryman is not robbed OF his hard earned
money by some of the shrcWd methods
of these sharks. Sometimes the unsus-
pecting ruralist steps into the trap set
tor the man who wishes to make a for
tune by small investment in horse
trade or lottery, or gold brick.
Sometimes he lends his money to new
found friend" on bogus check or
freight bill, which he finds is bogus too
late to recover his money; and lust as
often as any other cases, he falls into
some disreputable den, where he Is hi
arlous for time with its sOciable den
liens, drinks himself drunk on vile Wills
ky, and ends by beng robbed, beaten,
and thrown into the street, where lie is
picked up by the police and locked up
IN the station, appearing the next day in
the police court, while his adventures
appear IN the morning papers. The
moral of this is evident, and is commend
ed to all whom it may concern.-Jour
