In view Of the unexpected Influx of
colored refugees from the southern States
to Kansas, many of whom are in des-
titutc condition. the dictates Of human
ity. n wen a. the honor and good name
Of this commonwealth, demands that
the destitute Of this class of people
should not be neglected nor permitted
to suffer for want Of the necessaries of
life. we. the executive committee of the
Freedman,s Aid Societies, call upon the
the citizens of their respective localities
to contribute money, clothing and food
for their relief and also to appoint aux
iliary committees TO ascertain and re-
port to this central committee how ma
nv can be provided with employment or
homes in their respective localities, to
the end that they may be distributed
throughout the State, and thus soon be
placed in a condition to enable them to
support themselves.
These people are mostly farmers, are
industrious, and not only willing but
anxious to labor, and require only tenn
porary aid.
Said committee should be ready to
forward contributions on call Of the
central committee.
All communications giving informa-
ton herein requested, should be adj
dressed to j. c. Hubbard, Secretary, To

Let it never be said that Kansas closes
her doors against or withholds aid from

The Great Modern Exodus.

The stampede of colored people from
the South TO Kansas still continues. 1t
is averrcd that there has been nothing
like il since the descendants of Israel
followed Moses up to Canaan. -Four
millions of oppressed and frightened
blacks have awakened to the idea of a
"promised land''-forty acres and a
mule.
Last Friday boat came up the Mis-
souri, river carving nearly three hun
drcd of these refugees. The boat land
ed at Leavenworth when the authori-
ties of that city handed the captain
$3.50 and told him TO move on to the
next port. The next landing was made
at Atchison. about half mile below
town. where the motley crew were quiz
etlv and expeditiously disembarked and
| the boat backed ont and left without
| ringing bell or sounding a whistle.
Atchison was in for it. The a5le-bodicd
swcarers of the town cussed around for
L
work 20 give the starving crew a square
meal. They were field hands-men,wo-
men and chidrcn-and the Champion
SAYS their plumber was a sight to be-
hold Old traps, old spinning wheels,
etc. One old aunty had brought three
geese and an old hen all the way from
Mississippi. One boy had bull dog
with log chain around his neck. One
aristocrat had full-grown horse.
| We notice that the Arkansas Valley
editors in convention at Newton Satur-
dav favored the sending of these people
into this valley.
The larger eastern cities are becom-
ing thoroughly aroused as TO the magni-
tude of the movement. and the chariia-
bly, inclined are organizing and raising
money which is forwarded to the au-
thoritics of the river towns and the
committee at Topeka.
No man can estimate the results of
this wonderful movement. II promises
now to enlist the entire black popula-
ton of the Southern States. II is just
like any other stampede-not TO be
measured.
None of the refugees have reached
Wichita yet, but we expect them every
day. The great trouble is that ii is all
unskilled labor-field hands. If the wo-
men but understood house work and
the men ordinary labor several hundred
could find employment in this section.
but they seem entirely ignorant of any
work except that of cotton raising and
picking and sugar planting.

What the New York Papers Think
Of the Veto Message.

The Herald, commenting on the mes
sage says:
The message of President HAYES i.
skillfully adapted to its purpose and
that purpose is merely political. His
strong point lies in his assertion that
under tine laws, as they stand, Federal
soldiers cannot be employed at the polls
This being so, the Democratic party had
no excuse for forcing an extra session
and it will be overwhelmed by popular
Indignation if it stops the pay of the
army.
The Times says: The President in
vetoing the army bill has taken posi-.
ton which the good sense of the country
will heartily sustain. Evidently the
President has no liking for the military
power as an agency for accomplishing
political results.
The Tribune says: The Presidents
message is unanswerable. 1t leaves the
Democratic party no road of escape
from surrender, and it completes the
consolidation of united and confident
Republican party in support of their
official leader.
The World says: The Presidents We

popular Democratic victory in 1880.
Under no temptation, under no provo
cation let Congress adjourn without
making all appropriations necessary to
carry on the Government.

n. az 7. W. q w. East Of De.

We observe by the Oswego lndePea-
dent that elections have been called IN
Fairyiew. Mount Pleasant and Mound
Valley townships, Labette county, 70
subscribe stock to the St. Louis, Wichi-
IA and Western railway, in amounts Of
5000, $4,000 and so, 900 respectively
the elections to be held on Monday May
18th. From the best information we
can gain the proposition will carry IN
the townships named. The farmers Of
that locality, although reasonably near
the Nj. X. & 7. and the L., L. 4 u.
roads. know from experience in the dis
position of grain that better prices have
been paid Mt Oswego, the present ter
minus practically Of the new road, than
they have ever been able to obtain at
points on other roads; and for this rea-
SON they are anxious to secure the
building Of the St. Louis, Wichita and
Western into their immediate midst.
The heaviest tax payers-the most ex-
tensive farmers and strock-raisars-are
said to be enthusiastic in favor Of ex-
tending aid. Men are strongly advoca-
ting the measure who have heretofore
been steadfastly opposed to all railroad
bond schemes. The propositions--which
are identical to the one now pending in
Wilson county-are considered fair,
safe and reasonable in their various fea-
lures, and the fullest confidence in the
honesty of the company and its ability
to speedily build the road is entertained
Cherryvale, or Cherry township, in
Montgomery county, is understood to
be only too willing to aid in the con-
structiOn of the road, and will readily
subscribe every dollar possible under
the law. The people there have the
advantages of one line, but they know
the uses of competition and seek TO
get its benefits. The business men OF
Cherryvale. during last season, could
not pay as much for wheat by eight
cents per bushel as the dealers at Oswe-
go, the latter having the advantage OF
a more direct route east, 4. e. the road
of which the pending project is simply
an extension, besides competing line.
The farmers around Cherryvale realize
these facts most forcibly, and they are
earnestly in favor of extending the nee
essary aid to secure the building of the
road via that place. Between Wilson
and Oswego-where the people have
railroads already--they seem to appre-
ciate the importance Of the new project,
and this should convince us, who are
totally without railroads, that we can
not afford to refuse that aid which will
secure it to wilson County Citizen.
