The Kansas City Journal is one OF the
bitterest radical papers in the state. 1t
don't encourage negro emigration to
Kansas. although it says they were per-
secuted In the south. 1t pretends to fear
yellow fever. when in reality it tears an
influx of paupers. In its Sunday issue
It says: "a ration of bread was served
ont to the colored emigrants yesterday.
Provisions are badly needed, as the ma
iority of them are utterly without means.
The mortality among them so far ex-
cites alarm, and it is feared that they
have brought the germs OF the yellow
fever along with them. and that 1t will
break out with the advent OF warm
weather. A number Of the crowd are
from Grenad.. Miss, the hot-bed OF the
scourge."

TERRITORY OF IDAHO
In civilized nations, special days are
consecrated memorable events-victories
deliverances, Divine bencfactions days
of rongratulation and Of sorrow days
which measure epochs in discovery, in
vention, intellectual advance, moral
growth and social change days to mark
The succession Of seasons, and to cele-
brate in grateful observances, the bless
ings which they bring
1t has been a custom from the early
times, at the falling of the leaf when the
ripened fruits of toll are gathered, to pause
and reverently thank God Tor his good
ness and care Recognizing the fitness of
this observance, ut the close of a ear
crowned with peace, plenty and tranquil
ty, lie President has, by proclamation, set
apart Thursday, the twenty -seventh day OF

If sahanks and praise 10 Almighty God
for His mercies, and to devoutly beseech
their continuance
In full sympathy with this act of ma

the good people Of Idaho, that they remit

| day to the public services Of religion, In
| their chosen ways-to the assembling or
] families--to the strengthening of kindred
and social ties-to the forgiveness of in

those temporal blessings which have fallen
from the Divine hand.
On shat day may the stranger find well
come at our tables, our firesides and affairs
and comfort and consolation be brought
TO the children Of want and sorrow, on
whom the Christening hand has been laid.
Mingled with all thankfulness for the
past, and joy in the present, let there be
fervent snpplication, that righteous may
so exalt this nation that il shall be held in
honor and fear throughout the earth
that the union Of these States may be per
petual--that strifes and jealousies may
cease-that, animated by love of our coun-
try and kind, we may realize "How good
and how pleasant it is for brethren to
