THE COLOR LINE

The caste spirit which made slavery
possible is not yet quite exercised from
American SOIL. Strange to say u trace
of it is discernible to-day in the state
that gave Garfield TO the country. Last
fall Eva Gazaway, Of Springfield, Ohio,
on applying for admission TO the public
school of the district in which she re.
sided, was refused on the sole ground
that her skin was black. The result was,
naturally enough, that the cOlored pop
ulati0n of the place famed with Indig-
nation, and Eva's father forthwith insii-
tuted suit against the superintendent
of the schools of Springfield for not per-
hitting his girl to enjoy the educational
advantages or the city the same rs the
white children. Mr.. Gazaway is one of
Springtield's taxpayers; he, therefore,
helps TO support the public schools; and
he and his friends justly clam that it is
a fragrant denial OF common justice-to
say nothing about the golden rule-to
shut the doors of Shaffer street school
against a taxpayers daughter. A few
evenings since the colored people of
Springfield held festival to defray the
expenses of the suit. A number of stir
ring speeches were made, all the speak
ers taking the ground that in the exclu-
sion of little EYa an outrage had been
committed against cardinal American
principle, and that ii necessary the case
must be carried TO the supreme court of
the United States.

KiIIasI Inv Cattle Tbieyes

DENVER, Col, April 29.-The Tribune
this morning publishes the following
special from Lake City, Colorado: 1t is
rumored that Sheriff Bowman and 8
deputy of Gunnison, have been killed
below Ouray while after cattle thieves
One of the outlaws named Howard
formerly of Utah, was reported killed
in the fight with the officers. Later adj
vices received today, confirm the report
Governor Pitkin to-day received a dis
patch from GunnisOn City. stating that
Sheriff J. H. Bowman, of Gunnison
county, and his deputy, had both been
murdered by the cattle thieves. A large
party of citizens are in pursuit of the
murderers, and heavy rewards will be
offered for their capture.
On the 25th inst. Governor Pitkin re-
ceived a requisiuon from Governor Muir
ray of Utah, for the arrest of several cat
tie thieves, who had been stealing cattle
in Utah, and were then supposed to be
lurking somewhere in Colorado. Learn
ing that the thieves were in Gunnison
county, Gov. Pitkin sent a warrant TO
Sheriff Bowman, that county, for their
capture. Bowman came upon them
near Ouray, and the fight which follow
ed, both he and his deputy and one of
the outlaws were killed. The others es.
capped.
Col. Bowman was we'll known and
very popular all over the state. The par
ticulars Of the fight have not been OBJ
tanned.

THE CONVENTIONS.

Under the above head the Atchison
Champion makes the following sound
observations, in which the NEWS most
heartily concurs:
The State Central committee adopted
the plan suggested by tine Cham
pion some months ago, OF providing for
two state conventions, and having them
assemble at least six weeks or two
months apart, the first TO nominate con-
gressmen-at-large, and the second TO
nominate state officers.
This course would be u wise one under
any circumstances, but it is especially
prudent in view of the situation of pO-
litical affairs in our state. If all of the
nominations were to be made by one
convention, the most sinister and
corrupt influences would control
Its action. 1t would be u mere barter
and trade business, LIN which a
candidate having q small support
for one office, would bargain with u
candidate for another office, pooling
their issues for mutual benefit. The net
result would be the nomination of q
ticket representing the smallest possible
fraction of Republican sentiment, and,
very probably, the choice of some can
didates utterly unfit for the places to
which they aspired.
The action of the State Committee re.
duces these dangers To minimum. In
a convention TO nominate Congressman
alone some regard is likely to be paid
to the fitness and capacity of candidates,
and TO their location geographically.
So, in the convention which comes later,
State officers will be nominated on their
merits as men, rather than on their skill
or unscrupulOusness in trading with
Congressional candidates. The State
Committee acted wisely, both from a
party view and standpoint regarding
the best interests of the whole people.

ALAMO OF INSECTS.

New York Tribune: Mr.. Ernest Nor
ris, the young traveller and naturalist
who has just returned from Brazil, re-
peats the general observation OF ex-
plorers that the exuberance of insect
life is the principal obstacle to the en-
joyment of a sojourn in that part of the
world. Cockroaches swarm in every
house despite the inroads of an army of
spiders which sally forth from every
chink To prey upon them; scorpions are
intrusive and dangerous; a small red in
sect called the "mecuim" is an intolera-
BILE annoyance; at certain hours of the
day the air Is black with flies and
mosquitoes, and ants are universal
plague. To battle these last named
foes of peace Mr.. Morris was
Obliged to keep his entire col
lections on hanging shelves, the cords
of which were soaked in the oil of
cOpaiba. "The most destructive ant in
Brazil, "says Mr.. Morris, "is The sanba.
1t will strip trees of their foliage in a
single night, and in many places orange
trees cannot be grown for this reason
The tOcandeira is II very large ant, the
bite of which is poisonous and makes h
painful sore. was once rendered un-
able To work for week from a bite re-
ceived frOIn one of these ants. Some
species travel in large bodies, marching
in straight line and never turning to
the right or left. II house lies in the
track of one of these marching bodies,
unless they are completely exterminated
they will pass through. Nothing will
be injured, but every crack and Granny
will be explored, and not spider or
cockroach will survive the visitation.
They are, therefore, regarded as friends,
and their advent is always welcomed.
Go where you will in Brazil, you will
meet ants. You live, sleep and eat with
them-and eat them, too"

The following mournful incident, re
lated by the New York Sun, may not be
devoid OF interest to the young people
of Emporia, who are hereby requested
to read, mark aud inWardly digest:
At an evening party in kelkheim, in
Germany, a few weeks agD, the question
arose how many kisses could be ex.
changed between two lovers within a
certain space of time. A youth offered
to bet anybody present $50 that he and
his bethrOthed would kiss one another
10000 times within ten hours, provided
they were permitted to partake of some
slight refreshment at intervals of half
an hour during the performance. His
wager having been accepted, the aft
anced couple addressed themselves to
the achievement of their task. AT the
expiration nf the first hour their account
stood credited with 1000 kisses. Dur
ing the second they added another
1000, and during the third $50 to the
number. Then they both broke down.
The youths lips were stricken with
cramp. and the maiden tainted away.
Later in the evening she was compelled
TO take her bed with q sharp attack of
neuralgia. An even more distressing
result ensued, for 1t led ID the breaking
off, by mutual consent, of the matri-
monial engagement.

RAILWAY PROJECTS

The three United States railway pro.
ects in Mexico are the Mexican Nation
al, the Mexican Central, and the Mexi-
Southern railway companies. These
corporations represent respectively |
Philadelphia. Boston aud New York |
capital The first, or Mexican National,
is operating under what is known as
the Palmer Sullivan concession from
the Mexican government, originally OF
tanned in 1872. The panic of 1878 sus-
pended surveying operations, aud work
WAS further prevented by legal compli.
cations, which were done away with by
q new concession granted, September,
1880. This company has actually COM
pleted, but 1O7 miles of railway, of
which only ninety miles are ON the main
line or lines wiz twenty-one miles
from the City of Mexico toward Tuluca,
aud sixty-four miles south from Laredo.
In addition to this, the road-bed has
been graded for over 100 miles south of
Laredo. for about 237 miles west of the
City of Mexico, sixty miles east of
| ManZanillo, and seven miles west of
Matamoras, and elsewhere in sections.
There are, il is stated, about 1000
men now at work. Track-laying south,
toward Monterey, is progressing at the
rate of twOthirds of mile per day
About half a mile of tunneling on the
Tuluca Branch, out of the City of Mexi
co. is delaying progress somewhat
When completed, rails will he laid with
all dispatch, for not until "the ninety
third mile-post" is reached, out of The
City of Mexico, will the subvention be
come payable.
The Boston road, the Mexican Central
received a grant under conditions sim
liar to the National, and it is proposed
20 extend from the City of Mexico, ives
of north, to Ell Paso, ON the Rio Grande
It will then connect with the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe road, both lines be
) ing, indeed, owned by the same people
About 1876 miles of railway have alread,
been completed south from FL Paso
about 21S miles north from the City c
Mexico. Some little track-layIng ha
also been accomplished by this compan,
north from Gusymas. on the Gulf @
California, whence it is intended to con
meet with the Southern Pacific; an,
west from TampicO, wheHce it Is pre-
posed to run branch 10 connect witt
the main line al San Luis PotOsi.
The third line is the Mexican South
ern, of which Gen. Grant is president
and in which New York City capital
interested. No track has been laid, bu
considerable surveying Is said to haV
been done. The route proposed is iron
the City of Mexico southeast 10 Puebl
r and Tehuancan, and thence southwes
to OaxacO. A branch Is proposed t
, run to Vera Cruz, also TO another POI
on the Gulf of Mexico yet to be estal

down the coast to Tehuaniepcc, and,
deemed advisable, to Guatemala, Ger

estimate comprises l ,461 miles of track
and the Southern's but 800. Thus, q
