voorhees, is proving himself a: much shrewder
investigator for his party than Glover. His res
olution was denounced in advance by the organs
of his own party, and the opinion was freely
expressed that it would prove boomerang. But
the Indiana Senator, itseems, knows better how
to choose his witnesses than his Missouri prot
otype, and therein lies his success so far. Those
who have testified have recited their parts with
commendable alacrity, though their statements
nrove nothing against the right of the negroes to
emigrate to any part Of the country they desire,
SO long a. they pay their own expenses. The
witnesses summoned from Indiana are said to
be the particular friends Of the Senator who has
has charge Of the investigation. There viii!
doubtless be no hitch in the testimony they will
bear to the inherent Democratic dislike Of every
black man who votes Republican ticket.
Voorhees's trouble will begin when the wit
nesses are summoned on the other side. The
unyarnished story they will tell Of the cruelty
and hardship endured in the South will put an,
other face upon the investigaton.-NeUf orA

Frank LesIies sunday Magazine


The March number is promptly on our table,
taking precedence of all its contemporaries. 1t
is, in every respect a most admirable one; re-
ligious, pure and moral tone pervades its pages,
and still they abound with articles which appeal
to all tastes and all classes, and from the peru
sal of which the reader cannot fail to derive both
entertainment and edifcaion. There are so
many good things that it is difficult to select the
most notable features. The opening article, by
Hart Lytton, entitled esther Brandon's ME-
sion Class, - is very pleasing narrative of the
lady's experience in the Mission. '.The Pur-
itan Revolution by Rev. Lyman Abbott, is
the organization of the puritan party under
Cromwell Those admirable articles on the
Persecution by Alfred II: Guernsey, are con-
cluded in this number with most interesting
paper on ssThe Prosecutions of the HuguenOts, -
In France under Louis XIV. The two very
interesting serials, "Be-Be, the Nailmaker' s
Daughter' and ''Little Hinges, " are continued
and there are several short stories by popular
writer's. The subject, (No. 2. J Of The Children
of the Bible, /" is ''Isaac, the Child Of Promise -
An elaborate article on the late Frank Leslie,
by the editor with illustrations), is beautiful
tribute to the artistic and personal merit OF the
deceased. There are poems Of great excellence,
sketches, essays, adventures, etc, and mus.

Nudge Monument Fund.

The announcement of the sudden death of Prof.
3. F. Nudge, at his home in Manhattan, TWO
months ago, brought pain to the hearts OF many
friends, not only in our own State, but also
throughout the land. His whole life in Kansas
has been unselishly devoted to the investigation
of the natural sources of wealth within our bor-
ders. and to the inquiries which resulted in
those valuable scientific discoveries which have
made his name famous throughout the Wofid.
He also Improved every opportunity to COM
municate his rich stores of practical and scien-
tific knowledge, not only to the students placed
under his charge in our State institutions OF
learning, but also to the people of the common
wealth-by public lectures, dy private corI r,;e
pondence, and by contributions to the public
Giving himself unreservedly to the great work
of education he felt that, like the great Agas-
hundreds were pecuniarly benefited by his Ia
bors, and thousands were enflched by the more
precious wealth of his learning.
Feeling assured that the proposition to erect
suitable monument to his memory Will meet
with hearty response, the Kansas Academy OF
science, of which Professor Nudge was the
hOpored President at the time OF his death, mas
appointed a committee to take charge OF tht
Enterprise The members Of this committee are
as follows: F. G. Adams, Topeka, Chairman
Joseph Savage, Lawrence, secretary; X.
Brown, LeavenwOrth, treasurer; l. L Uoou'
now. +. A. POpenOe, Manhattan; J. ID. Parker

The little contest going on between
the Western National Fair Associa-
ton and the Kansas State Fair Asso-
citation is not very interesting. Both
parties ought to be able to see at Q
glance that but one fair is needed and
that one only can be successful. The
party which has got in deepest is the
one which should be allowed to take
the track and 60 ahead. Our stand
point-'sa across the line"-may be dis.
advantageous. but it does seem as if
the State Fair folks had better take
connizance of Bismarck Grove and the
advertising boom already started by
the Western National folks, and, for a
year at least, hang their show on the
Willows.-K. C.. Journal.

The Cherryvale fire of recent date,
it is now reported combines the horrid
elements of robbery, arson and muir

supposed to have been burned to death,
has been found at Joplin, Mo. The
body that was supposed to have been
his was that of tramp printer: Sew
eral trunks that were recovered. have
been found to have been opened and
articles of jewelry stolen therefrom. A
terrible crime has apparently been
committed and should meet with the
seyerest punishment.

It appears from returns that the
voters of this township elected two
Trustees, viz: l.. J. Hawkins and
John P. Cone. The former received
68 votes and the latter 81 votes. A
large per cent. if not all the ballots cast
for MI. Cone were headed Republican
Township" Ticket, while those cast
for Mr., Hawkins were properly head
ed, ''Tioga Township" Ticket. The
voters of any township would honor
themselves in electing Mr.. Cone as
their Trustee and we have no doubt
that he will make Republican Town

The exodus may be bad business
for the South, but there is no excuse
for attempting to stop it by legislative
measures. Georgia or Mississippi
have no more right to prohibit the
emigration of her people than Illinois
or Ohio. And yet a law to put stop
to it has been introduced into the
Legislatures of the two former States.
The South will never learn.
