The Greenback State committee of Kau- sas has decided that it is inexpedient to send l delegates as party organization to the ap- preaching National convention in Chicago, because it was called by individuals and not by authority of the Greenback party, and it's avowed object is the formation of a new ! party. The committee says, however, that there is no objection to Greenbackers as in- dividuals taking part in that convention, and recommends that such Greenbackers as are SO inclined to do units with other anti m on- opolists in sending delegates. 'If,' says the Kansas committee, tthe Chicago convention does what we believe it will do, indorse our Chicago platform of 1880, VIC, as a party, will heartily indorse that convention.
 The manual trainicg school of Washin gton University, St. Louis, is an interesting ex- pertinent. It has been in operation since September, 1880.

 Judge Foraker, nominated for Governor by the Ohio Republicans, is now finding out what bad man he Is. His political oppo- nents are making as much as they can out of the fact that he defended in United States court school superintendent who refused to admit a coIored child to the white schools of Springfield, Ohio. The facts in the case are that Mir. Foraker was engaged as counsel by the superintendent, whose action was in strict accordance with the law of the State. He confined himself to g simple statement of the law without uttering word derogatory to the colored people. It was at his suggestion that coIored lawyer Mir. Newberfy, who had not been admitted to practice in the United States courts, was allowed to appear and prosecute the case for the colored child. Mr. Newberry when interviewed the other day on the matter said that Judge Foraker proved himself courteous, considerate gen. tleman in every respect, and the colored peo- pie of no class have any right to complain of his conduct"
