Breach OF promise suits are evidently
popular Ia New York city, and the sympathy
OF jury and audience are undoubtedly with
the lady in these cases. There has been
perfect rush of breach of promise suits in the
past few months, and in all of these the de-
serted female has got a verdict of heavy
damages In her favor. Miss Rebecca Well is
the latest heart-broken maiden. She was en-
xaged to young German, who deserted her
because his father refused his consent to the
marriage. and because insanity existed in the
1amlip, the girls father having died in a
iuna.ie asylum and her uncle being a mad
v'sAlan. These reasons, flial and sensible, did
not satisfy the jury which listened to the
case, for, without leaving their seats. they
Eenaered verdict In Miss Wells favor for
5000 damages. The audience in the eourt.
room broke out in loud shouts Of annlouSa -
this gallant verdict. eeAaaso g

Quincy, ILL.,, has not actually decharterized
itself as Memphis has done, but has gone
pretty far Ia that direction. Its funds have
oiven out; Its treasury Is empty and contains
nothing wherewith to pay the city officials
In this dilemma the mayor sees no other
remedy than to cut off tie gas and water sup
piy of the town, and suspend the police and
Are departments. The Quincyans now wan
der home at night through dark and gloomy
streets, easy prey to burglars tramps and
thieves, and the tire-fend has everything his
own way Iii that unfortunate town, as there
are no firemen to stop the contiagrations and
no water with which to do it.

Rags are dangerous. So. at least, Ctncin-
natl thinks 1t was reported last year that
the yellow fever was introduced into Gallipols,
Ohio, by cargo Of infected rags. It is the
intention of Cincinnati to prevent any such
accident there, and a rigid quarantine against
Southern rags has been promulgated In that
city. The steamer Champion brought barge
load Of Southern rags to Cincinnati the other
day, but was prohibited from unloading them.
The barge containing them was anchored In
the middle OF the river to await the decision
OF the sanitary officer OF the city.

France now complains that her agricultur-
lists cannot compete with those of the
United States Heretofore American pro-
ducts, which have proved so destructive TO
the farming interests of Great Britain,
have not produced much effect upon the
farmers Of France; but they now recog-
nize the fact that they cannot compete
with the productive fields Of America in the
French markets, even though those fields
IRE thousands of miles away. La France
surrenders the whole field when it admits

The question Of reducing the Presidents
salary to $4,000 is again before the House of
Representatives. As the salary was raised
because Of the expenses incurred In giving
State dinners and otherwise expanding large
sums Of money In keeping up the state and
dignity OF the presidential office, and as Mr..
Hayes does none Of the things for which the
advance In salary was voted, 1t does not
seem that there is any good reason why the
pending bill should not be adopted. It Is
thought the present incumbent will save not
less than 100000 during his term OF office.
The popular idea L. that the President Is not
expected to make money by holding the
position. The bill now before Congress will
not take effect until the present term expires.
II 1t becomes a law.

OOLORED EMIGRATION

The emigration Of colored people from
various parts Of Louisiana and Mississippi
to Kansas has unquestionably been source
ofmuch disquiet to many Of our citizens, who
from lack of information have attached
undue significance to the movement.
We have heretofore touched upon the var
ious circumstances which have combined to
promote the removal OF these people. and In
order that our readers should be Informed as
to the facts, the DEMOCRAT has sent reliable
correspondent to Kansas for the purpose OF
ascertaining the truth. His letters appear
from day to day. and plainly tell the story
of deluded people, lured from their homes
to scenes of want and privation, there to be
abandoned or used as cat'spaws by the
schemers who seek to reap a political advan-
tage, and by the local managers in Kansas, who
seem to be utilizing the sympathy Of the
North for their pecuniary profit.
The spectacle Of two hundred and fifty men,
women and children huddled together on the
banks Of the river near the Kansas line, ex-
posed to rain and storm. denied admission to
one Of the principal towns of the State, in
which they were promised SO much. should
bring the blush of shame to the cheeks Of the
so-called philanthropists who have enticed
unfortunates from their homes.
All accounts tend to prove that already the
delusion under which they have labored Is
rapidly being dissipated, and that, whenever
left to the exercise of their natural desires,
they long to return to their old abiding places.
The subject Is one which invites the thought
full attention of those who may be interested
in their return, and 1t Is time to consider the
Of extending these helpless crea-
lures means OF transport and subsistence

back to their homes, where they voluntarily
seek to come. Beyond this we do not see
what action our people can take.
The best opinion seems to be that the move
ment Is dying out. and will gradually disap-
pear. unless invigorated by the efforts OF
Northern politicians. speedy termination
OF the movement would assuredly follow the
restoration of these people to the parishes
and counties they have left. and our mer-
chants and planters would do well to give the
subject their attention.

| Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, OF the New York 1rib-
| ,pe has q little Kansas question of his own to
| wrestle with. Mr.. Reid, acting for the 7fib-
tne organized an aid association some time
ago, TO enable poor and fatherless boys In
New York citysto find homes and work In the
West Quite Q large sum of money was
raised for this purpose and several hundred
boys carried to the West and settled there
most OF them In Kansas. The Tribune has
been little disposed to boast Of Its con-
nection with the affair." and loved to draw
In roseate colors, pictures of the happy life
of these boys In the West, removed from
crowded and unhealthy city where work was
scarce, to the balmy air Of the country and
the Injuries and comforts OF Kansas. 1t even
went SO far as to publish biographies of all
these boys and predicted their success In
life
The scheme, however, failed. The boys did
not take to Kansas; found 1t rough. cold and
inhospitable; and life there unpleasant and
severe. Two months after their arrival In
this promised land. majority Of the boys,
heartily disgusted with their new life, de-
serted work, ran away and tramped their
way back to the East Some of them have
got as far East as Plttsburg and declare their
intention Of going back to New York
The Tribune might learn d lesson from the
story Of these boys. Kansas evidently does
not hold out Its arms to receive emigrants,
even white ones. The treatment that the un.
fortunate and unpopular Southern negroes
received In this land Of promise may well
be imagined. These boys, accustomed to
hard knocks and rough treatment. could not
stand the reception they met with out there
will our negro emigrants be able to do SOP
The 7.tibune had better drop the negro emil
grafton question for the present and ooncen-
trate It's attention on the failure Of It's "phi-
anthropio" scheme to colonize Kansas with
fatherless boys from New York

A Surprised Physician.

"A TPE1SC9N 1SybACIAhs
DYING PATIENT RECEIVERS THROUGH
THE INTERROGATION OF A HUMBLE GER.
NAM--Somc weeks ago DR.. c., very r.,
putable and widely known physician, liv.
ing on G. street, was called to attend a
very complicated case OF Rheumatism
Upon arriving at the house he found a
man about forty years of age, lying in a
Frustrated and serious condition, with his
whole frame dangerously affected with
the painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient, but the man continued to grow
worse, nnG on Sunday evening he was
found to he in very alarming condition.
The knees and elbows and larger joints
were greatly inflamcd and could not be
moved. 1t was only with extreme Difficult
ty that the patient could be turned in bed
with the aid of three or four persons
The weight OF the clothing was 50 oppres-
sive that means had to be adopted to keep
it from the PATIENTS body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the
mcmbcr of the family following him to
The door, weeping. AT this cri,ica! hour
a ncighbor, a poor and humble German
shoemaker, Appeared to the griefsmiltel,
ones as a saving angel. He had heard OF
the despair of the family, and now asked
them to try lis remedy and accordingly
brought forth bottle Of ST. JACOBS OIL
as Il drowning man will catch at straws,
so the poor wife applied this remedy; she
had no hope, but would try anything, as a
matter If duty. The first application cas-
cd the patient very much: after a few
hours they used it again, and, wonder of
wonders, the pain vanished entirely
Every subsequent application improved,
the sufferer, aud in two days he was well
and out. When the doctor called few
days after, he was indeed surprised; for,
instead of a corpse, hc found u new made
man.-ErcAange.

Letter From H0lkah.

HOKAH, Oct. II, 1879.
Nit. EDITOR Having seen communi-
cations in your columns from every county
and almost every township in the district
with tho exception of Houston county, l
thought a communication from here
might be acceptable.
Shortly after the nomination Of Mr..
F armcr, by the Republican party, 1t was
an accepted fact here, that were the vote
taken then, Pages majority would be
from 600 to 1000. To-day one Hargraves,
worn out politician, and lthe only per-
son we know of in the county who is
making himself conspicuous by an un-
qualified support of Juge Page, placed
the majority at 300. And why this fall
ing off? One reason is this: that Mr..
Page has been down here stumpiag the
county, and he aoould not stick to the truth.
Another is, that many Of our prominent
men begin to believe that since there is
SO much smoke up your way there IN ust
be some fire, and that we have no right
to force upon you Judge who has made
himself so obnoxious to you. And still
another is, that the Republicans here.
especially tho Scandinavlans and Ger
mans, know Mr.. Farmer is the regular
nom inee Of the Republican party. There
is also another noticeable fact which
carriea ita dino weight -this that the
hrmest supporters of Page here, consist
of inflated poli,itions, who though unable
to obtain an Office for themselves just
now, still consider their knowledge of
the wires valuable to others. think if
Page will come here and make q few
more speeches, and send our people more
of his papers, the county will give Farm
er 800 majority. CITIZEN.
