Kussin' Ku Klpx.

Mr.. Black Richardson furuishe:
US with an article from the Atchi
son { KS. Champion which reviews
and eFiticizes Messrs. Wilson d
Testers Kuklux book. 1t is a re
hash of the same old abusive way
they used to deal with the subject
After copying the articles declaring
the objects of the Klan, the paper
says:
That these were the real purposes
of the original Ku Klux Klan, Mr..
Wilson labors diligently to prove.
Unfortunately for him, volume OF
sworn testimony, taken by a com
mittee of congress, tells how these
mounted defenders of the constitu-
tlon and interpreters of the law pro-
tected the 'weak, the innocent and
the defenseless," by calling them to
their cabin doors and numbering
them at their thresholds; by whip
ping them to shreds, and nail
ing them to logs, and by driving
men who had in good faith cast in
their lot with the south from the
homes and the property they had
bought with their money.
The apologist for the Klan at
tempts to saddle these outrages on
outlaws who assumed the garb of
the Klan, yet admit that at the in
slant the Grand Wizard issued his
order to disband, the work of the
Ku Klux ceased, thus showing that
all the perpetrators of outrages
recognized the authority of the
Kan.
The Khan was disbanded by the
Grand Wizard in March, 1869.
This mandate was issued, we are
told, because "The order had ac-
complished in a great measure the
object of its existence" But it is
a curious coincidence that this con
clusion was arrived at by the Grand
Wizard, a citizen of Tennessee, 81
multaneously with the appearance
of Gov. Brownlow's proclamation of
martial law in counties infested by
the Ku Klux. Shooting and whip
ping defenceless negroes was one
thing; meeting the troops of the
state with arms in sheir hands was
another. So the Ku Klux was dis
banded.
The terrorism exercised by the |
Ku Klux had an unexpected effect.
Long after the formal disbandment
Of the Klan, but while the memory
of its cruelty was still fresh enough |
began the emigration of the colored !
people, which came to be called the |
Exodus and which for a while /
threatened the south with incalcula-
bic evil; and the movement to Kan
sas was begun from Pulaski, Giles
county, Tennessee, the very spot
where the Ku Klux Klan began its
existence

Be Patient With Children.

Parents and teachers ought to b,
mighty patient with children. Som,
have more capacity and some hav,
more memory. Some are slow ane
some are quick. 1t is not the
smartest child that makes the
smartest man or woman. It is 8
powerful strain on some of 'em to
keep up, and the dull ones oughn't
TO be crowded until they hate books
and dread the time of going to
school, Some folks send their
children to school to get rid of 'em,
but my opinion is the parents
ought. to help the teacher every
night. 1t shows the children how
much interest they feel in their
education. 1t is a sign of q
good teacher when the children
get ambitious to keep up and get
head marks, and bring their books
home and want to go to school if
it is raining a little. Wrap 'em up
and let 'em go.
There is nothing that demoral-
ICES a schoolboy like staying at
home every few days and getting
behind the class. We used to walk
three miles to school, and we never
minded it at all. 1t was frolic ali
the way there and all the way back
and we did have the best dinner in
the world. Delmonico never had
as good things as our mothers used
to fix up for us. 1t seems to me
so now. A child's life is full of ro-
nance and fun-the best sort of
fun. A child's dreams are splen-
did, but we don't dream now, hard
ly ever. ! used to read Robinson |
Crusoe and dream it all over again.
How | did long to be shipwrecked |
on an island and raise monkeys and |
goats and parrots.
Some children are generally sure
but they don't show off
much. Daniel Webster was most
always foot in his class, but when
he learned anything he never for
got it. Some boys are wild and
restless and have no love for books,
but they oughtn't to be given up or
hacked or abused continually. If
they have good parents they will
come to themselves after awhile.
1t is astonishing how humiEa-
ton wil-follow boy. One time a
boy stole a quarter of dollar from
another boy at school, and that fol-
lowed him to his grave. He got to
be a great man and was thirty years
IN congress and was a senator. and
one day when he made a bitter
speech against the corruption of the
party and denounced their
stealing and plundering by whole
sale, one of his opponents replied
by saying he would remind the gen
tleman that preachers of morality
should come into the pulpit with
clean hands-that Ben Franklin
said, "He that would steal a pin
would steal bigger thing" and he
asked no quarter from the gentle
man on that score.
So, boys, remember and keep
your hands clean. Folks will for
give mischief and a heap of other
things, but they won't forgive
meanness.-Bill Arp.

Some time ago a gentleman from
this state happened into a large
furniture factory in Northern Ohio.
Seeing some fine marble-top dress
ing cases, he asked the proprietor
where the wsln ut came from. "Oh,'
replied the Ohio man, "that comes
from Tennessee" 'Ah, indeed
and where do you get that fine mar
bler' "That, too, comes from
Tennessee. Why do you askg'
swell, Pm from Tennessee, and
kind of thought it came from oui
country, and as l stood looking at
it, 1 thought it was foolishness
that we could nor make this mar

st. Louis Globe Democrat.--The
prohibition party made its appear
ance as temperance party in 1872,
when it nominated James Black for
president, and the total vote polled
in all the States for this candidate
was 5,6OS. He was succeeded as a
candidate in 1876, by Green Clay
Smith, who received a vote of 1922,
and he in 1880 by Neal Dow, who
received 10,305 votes. In twelve
years, therefore, the party has made
a gain of 5,697 and if this rate OF
increase be kept up, may reasona-
bly, hope to carry the country in a
few hundred years provided the 9th
er parties cease growing and turn
over their natural increment to the
prohibitionists.

a STRAINED Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians
there is singular tradition regard
ing the white mans origin and su-
periority. They say when the
great spirit made the earth He also
made man, all of whom were fair
complexioned and after making
them He led them to the margin OF
a small lake and bade them leap in
and wash. One obeyed, and came
out purer and fairer than before;
the second hesitated a moment, dur
ing which time the water agitated
by the first and become muddled,
and when he bathed he came out
copper colored; the third did not
leap until the water became black
with mud, and he came out his own
color. Then the great spirit laid
before them three packages, and,
out of pity for his misfortune in
color, He gave the black man the
first choice. He took hold of each
of the packages, and, having felt
the weight, chose The heaviest; the
copper r-colored man chose the next
heaviest, leaving the white man the
Hghtest. When the packages were
opened, the first was found to con
tain spades, hoes and all the imple-
ments OF labor; the second unwrap-
ped hunting, fishing and warlike
apparatus; the third gave the white
man pens, ink aud paper, the engine
of the mind-the means of mutual
mental Improvement, the social link
to humanity, the foundation of the
white mans superiority.-Southern
World.

much labor to hunt up this damn

diggers at your financial obsequies
+ That which l hear against mei
when they are unfortuneate make
, no impression on my mind. The at
mosphere gets malarializod with al
infernalism which rejoices in the
overthrow of 6nancier, and the
higher he is up the greater the hap
piness ofsome people when he comes
down. There is only one health
full, christian mood in which
at such times you and / ought &c
stand, and that is of intense, en-
larged, prayerful christian sympa-
thy. Put the best phase you can
on every mans misfortune. Do not
call it a rascality when 1t may have
been only a mistake. Divide up
among many the condemnation
which you are tempted to put upon
one or two or three. By calm faith
in God help.cool down this fnan-
cial hysteria. Save all indiscrimi-
nate excoriation. Remember that
if man lose money in stocks, he
deserves just as much coincidence
as~if he lose money in selling dry
goods or groceries. To stockhol d.
ers you owe, under God, all the
railroads, all the banks, all the tel
egraph companies, all the steam
boats, all the factories, all the
great enterprises that have lifted
this land to its unparalleled height
of prosperity. When war broke
out and vast sums of money were
raised for the equipment of the
army, and for the sending forth of
the sanitary and the christian com
missions on their magnificent work,
from what source came the larger
amount of the contributions? From
stockholders. Be careful in your
anathema of Wall street to draw the
line between those in that street
who are doing as legitimate bust
ness as any -four or feed store in
the country, and, on the other other
hand, those who make il the whirl- !
pool for sucking down the fortunes
Of others. But what a great world
this is! The man who depends on
it for happiness is imbecile. Better
trust April skies, or Niagara rapids,
or the March winds, than expect
from this world any settled or de-
prosperity. We hear a
great deal Of talk about securities,
but the only securities worthy the
name are eternal secuties. Hope
thou in God. He never fails to help
those who put their trust in Him.
If l could call all the thousands of
Christian men who had been un-
fortunate in business, and l should
ask them when they had the most
religious peace and the most faith
in God, nine out of ten of them
would answer: 'tSince 1 lost my

/ were often treated with great cruel
ty; but the history of slavery fur
nishes no parallel to the wicked
and atrocious cruelty with which
John A. Logan pursued the negroes
in Illinois. This is the man who is
traducing and vilifying the south
and charging our people with being
slave-drivers and hostile to blacks.
Logan's bill selling negroes into
slavery was monstrous in its pro-
visions; yet, in the face ofsuch bar
barity toward the colored people
who had fed to the free soil of Hi
n is for protection, he now comes
forward as the champion Of the en-
franchised blacks. He refused the
negro shelter in misfortune, but
now claims the vote of the race he
proposed to sell in slavery for the
crime of being free and daring to
iocate in the free state of Illinois.
Blaine, tattooed with his corrupt
schemes, s a hideous monster. But
cartoon representing Logan on
the block auctioneering free ne
groes and mulattoes to the highest
bidder-selling them in to slavery
because they were unfit to live as
freemen in Illinois, will present a
picture still more disgusting and
revolving. Logan, now that the ne
groes are enfranchised, regards them
IS ''the wards of the nation;" but
in 1858 be regarded it as a ''high
rnisdemeanor" for them to pollute
the soil of Illinois with their pres
ence and proposed to hunt them
down with all the ferocity of an AT
rican slave-dealer or the southern
.lave-driver with blood hounds in
pursuit of their runaway negroes,
with the view Of making slaves of
freemen vho had either purchased
their freedom or been emancipated
by their owners. Under the provi-
sious of Logan's slave code, if the
negroes did not leave the state in
ten days after regaining their free
dom they were again placed on the
block and the punishment inereas
ed by extending the period of own
ersbip and slavery. Less than thir-
~ years ago Logan regarded the
negro as a nuisance in Illinois not
to be tolerated, and he was hunted
down like wild beast. IL the col
ored people are not lost to shame
md self respect they will cast a sol
id vote against the man who prose
cuted them in the dark DAYS of
slavery, but now that they are vot-
ers would hambug them into the
belief that he has always been their

st. Louis Republican: The New
ork Tribune assails Mr.. Hen
bricks on the ground that he was a
pro-slaverY democrat. If that
charge were admitted the record of
the democratic candidate for vice
president would still be far less OBJ
jectionable to the EXTREMIST original
antl-slavery man in respect to the
negroes than of the republican cum
didate. Senator Logan was an ex-
tremest, stopping short of nothing
claimed by the most exacting slave
owner. His connection with the
black lave OF Illinois and the fugi-
tive slave laws Of congress estops
his supporters from finding fault
with any other man in any section
OF country on the slavery question. |
