TIE COLORED EXODUS.

The interesting and authentic letter from Kansas
which we publish this morning affords valuable in
formation respecting the emigration OF the Freed
men to that State. Ii confirms the general impress
sion that the negroes started upon their forlorn
hegira not out of mere whim rcauseess discomfort
but for substantial reasons credabe to their intel
ligence. They intensely anxious to leave their
native localities simply because they were con-
stantly in danger of brutal i'll usage and even muir
der; because they not fairly treated In business
matters and because they saw before them no hope
of bettering their condition by remaining. White
men venturng for similar reasons upon exile. have
been canonzed in history and have won the pIaudits
of their remote posterty. These negroes, seeking
liberty and life free from constant danger may
have no fine theories cultivated opinions; but
their instincts prompt them to seek in new State
what every true man wants and is willing To suffer
much to obtain.
Kansas, IN the kindly way in which she has re-
ceived these fugitives, has shown herself true to
her old traditions of liberty. She has also eXhib-
tied moral courage at once rare and admirable.
In almost any other State, such an addition 10 the
population would have produced panic, and pos
sibly an attempt would have been made to
stay the tide by interposing legislative restric-
tions. So far at least, the wanderers have met
with nothing but kindness Food has been fur
nshed, ana clothing; and judiciOus schemes. under
the auspices of the "Freedman's Relief AssOcia-
tom have been resolved upon Tor making the best
OF the matter by giving to the strangers the opDOr-
nifty of satisfactorily colOnizing. There has been
no selfish doubt but only practical pity. Moreover,
these colored people show that little temporary
helps all that they need. They have been dstrib-
uted over the State, and have become generally
self-suppOrting This result has been brought
about entirely by private assistance and ad-
vice-the State itself, in its public capacity, has
done nothing and under the laws as they exist can
probably do nothing.
The planters Of Louisiana and Mississippi are
evidently alarmed AT this tendency of colOred
labor to seek Northern fields. and see in it "an
treme danger to their property interests" They
are publishing appeals TO the business men and
benevolent societies of the North, begging that the
exodus may not bo encouraged. Practically, how
ever the matter is IL their hands. If they will
treat the negroes as they would white iaborers,
and make it for their interest to remain, the mlgra
ton will cease. But they must be fair cOnsiderate
and equitable, or the movement will continue.

worth the money it costs, and a pleasant re-
membrance for the rest of their lives, they
| should in the first place, not attempt to do
| too much. Every man has some special pur-
| suit OF taste or enjoyment. Let him crafty
that exclusively. Pay little heed to what your
fellow passengers or the guide-books tell you
| must and ought to be seen. You can see only
| little let that little enlarge your own range
of vision. If yOu know nothing of architec-
ture, waste no time studying cathedrals. Ii
you have never studied pottery, pass by the
bric-a-brac shops as though they were blank
walls. If you really care nothing for art, why
should you break your neck staring at end
less rows of pictures The Madonna del Slsto
will not give you so much genuine pleasure
as the pretty, live shop-girl who sells gloves to
Won in the Bon March6. Go nowhere because
everybody goes. For at least this sum-
mer of your life don't be q sham and an imi-
tator. This is your holiday; enjoy it in your
own fashion. If you are q scholar keep to
the libraries and let Mablle alone. If you
are an epcure, 90 through the cafes thoroughly,
and do not bore yourself with Mont Blanc.
Abroad, if never at home, have the courage
10 be yourself, and not some other better
man.
Secondly-Dctermine on your route and pre-
pare Yourself for it before you go. You can
not freshen yourself III knowledge OF history
or art while driving post haste from one
object to another, or while cOurlers and guides
are dinning illusions in your ears TO dead
men and events that are only meaningless
names to you.
Thirdly-Having set aside the sum which
You can afford to spend, put money ont or
your mind. Don't go over there to fling 1t
about i'm order to show that an American
tradesman or clerk can live as well as a
foreign n0bleman. We have made ourselves
ridiculous long enough by that sort of vul-
garity. Neither is it wise to go along the
whole route squabblIug about pennies with
servants and inn-keepers, as many of our
people do You cross the ocean to gam
knowledge, impressions and emotions which
this country does not give; to let III new
air and light into your life. You cannot
afford to keep yOur mind battened down to
anxiety about the cost OF bottle OF WIN
ordinaire or the two sous tip to the porter.
What if the swinding landlord did charge
you for the bougie, when you burned the
candle-tip which you carry in your satchel
Are you to let slip all the strength which the
Jungfrau and her mighty companions have IN
keeping for you for that7
Lastly-Do not regulate your actions by
uneasy reflections as to what these foreigners
think of you or your country. The chances
are they do not think of You at all. Try and
learn the things which they know and you do
not. 1t will do you good to find out how
many they are. I'm a word, however little the
money or time you can afford for this voyage
if You take common sense and hearty good
will along, and leave snobbishness, bigotry
and pretension behind, you cannot fail to
come back larger man in mind and feeling
than you went.

OYER THE WATER.

Outgoing steamers in this first we elk of
June have been crowded with the tourists
who go to spend only two or three months in
Europe Business men. who make one or more
trips every year, usually cross in May, and so do
the large class that might be dubbed Ameri-
can absentees, so regularly are their faces seen
in HYDE Park in June, and in Cbamounix or
the Norwegian fords i'll August. They can
choose the earliest season. But the man of
small means, who has been saving for years
in order TO afford this ono great holiday of
his life, the teacher or clergyman, who has
ONLY his summers vacation to give to il, as
a rule is obliged to defer going until June,
and to return in September. The first class
have learned by experience how to extract
the largest share of enjoyment from their
residence abroad whether that enjoyment
result from culture and the satisfaction of
aesthetic taste or the pleasure of finging the
money away which some Woodworking parent
has made for them. But many who rush over
for three months visit 90 with uncertain
ideas as to what to do or how to do 1t, and
come home with a blurred memory of count
less castles, galleries, cities and hordes of
human beings jabbering unknown tongues.
They have made breathless race of it,
urged on by guides and guide books. and are
not sorry to settle down again to the old
work and commonplace American surround
ings.
If these tourists, to whom every hour is
precious. wish to make their journey really

THE RAILROAD POOL.

The agreement of railroad managers, in
their meeting at Niagara, is largely due to
the influence of Mr.. Fink, the commissioner
of the trunk lines. In a very strong paper
prepared BY HIM for the information of the
trunk line managers, he stated the amount
of freight forwarded by each line from Chi
cago eastward and the loss sustained by each
road since December 10, in carrying at less
than the agreed rates. The total loss was
81, $40. .494, divided as follows:
New-York tribune., 1879-06-07
1000
Sl,siO,494

This calculation is based upon the suppose
ton that all the business went to New-Yo ork,
and is sufficiently correct for practical pur
poses, because 95ll per cent of the Chicago
business did go to New York, New-England.
Philadelphia and Baltimore, the rate to New
York being about an average of the whole.
BY the term Gloss" is to be understood that
the roads would have earned more by 81. .S40,-
494 than they actually earned, had they carried
the same amount of freight at full rates Mr..
Fink explains that, even at the low rate
charged, the roads may have made 81, ,10S,-
New-York tribune., 1879-06-07

| $50 more than the actual cost OF transporta-
ton on the Chicago business. whereas az tDe
agreed rates they would have made $2,94o.-
S74 more than the cost of transportation. lie
! then shows that the terminal roads might
have lost of the total traffic, without any de-
crease of net profit if rates had been MAIN
tained as follows: Pennsylvania from AZ
per cent to 1916 per cent; Michigan Ceh'ra'
from 800 per cent to 11.4 per cent; Lake
Shore from 24.S per cent to 9.3 per cent
Baltimore and Ohio from Al per cent to I.5
per cent. On a full years business, the cor
responding loss in consequence OF not MAIN
tanning the rates agreed would have been
81 100000 yearly.
II is not surprising that such arguments as
these have had great influence. The teie-
grams from Buffalo state that the managers
have agreed to pool their entire tonnage from
Chicago, on the following basis Pennsylva-
MIA. 81 per cent; Michigan Central, 81 per
cent Lake Shore, 26 per cent. But this pro-
portion is to be submitted to the new Board
of Arbitration, who have power to change
or continue il after August 1, and neither OF
the lines can make time contract without
giving ten days notice to the other companies
so that, if they desire, they can appeal to the
Board.
1t will naturally be said that this agreement,
like many which have preceded IT, may be
broken. No doubt this is true, and yet the
principle of submission of all differences 10
able and distinguished arbitrators will now be
tried for the first time, and may prove effect
I've in preventing railroad wars. The public
interests do not appear to be threatened, AT
least at present, for the rates fixed are by no
means high. The rate on grain from Chicago
to New-YOrk Is TO be only Is cents per IoO
pounds and on fOurth-class freight only ~
cents, and the "eveningn business as to cattle
traffic is to be broken up by fixed rates ol 30
cents per hundred, if shippers leave the trunk
lines to apportion the tonnage according 10
their agreement, and 45 cents per hundred II
the shipper sees fit to give to a trunk line more
than its share of tonnage. All these devices
seem well calculated to give the arrangement
success.
The more important difficulty is that the
arrangement does not as yet affect the through
freight eastward from any other western
points except Chicago. 1t is difficult to see
how the pool can be maintained with any
efficiency, until similar division Of the trailc
from other Western points can be reached. A
meeting is to be held, it is said, during the
next week, with the intention of overcoming
this difficulty by an extension of the pooling
system to eastward freight from all important
competitive points at the West But the sue
cess of this effort, however earnestly 1t may
be made, is by no means certain.

Now it is the Kern family who have discovered
that they are the heirs to a vast estate in Europe
and who propose to take immediate steps for its
recovery" This time the amount awaiting the
lucky owners is 5000, 900, ,0OO A cipher or two
really makes little difference when you go up into
that range of figures. The odd fact about these es
tates TO which American younger branches of noble
English families put in their claim Is that millions
are reckoned in them as half pence. The ordinary
rich man achieves his hundred thousand solitary
million with difficulty; but besides the Anneke JAMS
affair there are the Hamiltons, ShephardS,
Howards. Lawrences. Hardings and a dozen Others,
who have a grip sums ranging from tens to
hundreds of millions in Europe. with baronial cas-

Next to the abject servIlity with which the Demo-
cratic majority submit to the domination of a few
loud leaders, the most amazing feature OF the Doit
cal situation at the National Capital is the tran
scendant stupidity and incompetence of the leaders
themselves. What is to be thought of men who IN
augurate a campaign for the Presidency by such an
unusual and dangerous advance as the forcing of an
extra session without taking into account the fact
that they were to meet enemy. Everybody ex-
pected the vetoes just as they came but in every
case these incautious captains have been panic
stricken men who are surrounded and surprised
at 3 O'clock in the morning. The New Demo
cratic Programme has come to be a standing head
line for Washington dispatches, and it proves how
completely and continually they are at their wits
end and that too when nothing has occurred which
could not have been plainly foreseen from the be-
ginning. Why didn't they set out with pro-
gramme which provided for moral certantles If not
for remote contIngencicsf 10 Is small wonder that
mutnous mutterngs against the Randalls and
Blackburns are reported from Washington. Before
$50 Congressman again march into hole with BAN
ners flying and their eyes shut they will be liable
to inquire if their leaders have considered whether
the other end is plugged up not.
