1t is announced that movement to begin
the colonization of Southern negroes in
South and Central America has assumed
definite shape, and the leaders of it declare
that before the year is ended an exodus that
will take from the cotton, sugar and rice
fields a million or more of laborers will be
at its height The headquarters of the
movement are in Kansas, and the work is
to be directed by negroes living in that
State who are said to be sufficiently wealthy
TO conduct it to success.
An alleged secret organization was eff
fected three years ago, and agents were sent
to different countries to make examinations
respecting climate, lands, laws and priv
ileges. These agents are now making their
reports, and the committee having the mat
ter i'll hand is understood to have deter
mined on establishing settlements in the
Guiana highlands, directly north of the
equator, and in the Brazilian highlands on
the southern tributaries of the Amazon. To
these localities viii be directed emigrants
from Florida, Southern Alabama. Missis-
sippi and louisiana. Other settlements will
be made in the Argentine Confederation,
and to these will be sent emigrants from
Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina,
Northern Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas. 1t is designed to distribute
throughout the Guianas and Brazil tho g
accustomed to work in sugar and cotton
fields, while those who have engaged in
mixed farming will be sent farther south.
The originators of the movement paint
the inducements Offered for such an exodus
in glowing colors. They assert that very
low rate of transportation will be estab-
lished that important concessions will be
made in the way of land and immunity
from taxation, and that the political and
social rights and privileges of the emigrants
will be fully guaranteed.
The alleged object is to better the condi-
ton of the Southern negroes Perhaps it
is. but other movements of the kind have
not had that effect and this one will be re
garded with good deal of suspicion and
doubt. The negroes arc doing as well in the
South as they can anywhere. They have
every right to which the law entities them;
they have no better friends than the white
people, and many of them are accommodating
property. Those who are not doing well
are of the shiftless class that will not pros
per anywhere. These, however, are not
wanted in the new movement, the intention
being to secure only those who are reliable
and trustworthy. While such an intention
is a very excellent one, it can hardly be car
ried out, for negroes of that class are gem
orally PROSPEROUS and have the good sense
to let well enough alone. Very likely the
greater number of emigrants will be from
among those who can very well he spared,
and it is much more likely that there will be
no exodus worth noticing.

The tobacco growers don't like Mr..
Dodge, the Statistician of the Agricultural
Department They tried to have him re-
moved last fall when the tobacco crop re-
port which he sent out was shown To be
wrong, and they are again insisting tina.
some one who can figure nearer the truth
shall be given his place
The Congressman from nearly all the
tobacco-producing States held meeting, a
day or two ago, for the purpose Of seeing if
there was not some way TO get rid of Mr.
Dodge. 1t seems that they had discovered
that he was supported by powerful influ-
ences, and they proposed to secure his re-
moval only by shutting up the Bureau of
Statistics. They could do that of course
only by inducing Congress not to make an
appropriation for its support. The chances
are that they couldn't get Congress to do
anything of that sort. because Mr. Dodge
Is Objectionable only to the tobacco growers.
The meeting resulted in the appointment
of committee which is authorized to make
another demand upon the Commissioner of
Agriculture, Mr. Coleman, for Mr.. Dodge's
removal, and if he refuses to comply with
the demand an appeal will be made TO the
President.
MIR. Dodge has become more Of an issue,
so far as the tobacco growers are concerned,
than the removal of the tobacco tax. They
want no more of his reports, and they don't
intend TO have any if it is possible to get
him out of his present position.
Mr.. Dodge is not charged with being dis
honest, though some of the Congre ssmen
who are seeking his removal say that he
could not do the tobacco interest greater
damage if he were. A man who makes
grave mistakes is about as dangerous as a
dishonest man in MIR. Dodge'S position. If
his figures show a small crop Of wheat, cot
ton, corn, or tobacco, the prices of these
articles advance. and if they show big
crop prices fall. His tobacco report showed
too big a crop, and prices went
down at once. The result was that tobacco
farmers lost great deal of money. 1t is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that the,
want him removed. 1t may be that, like
Virgins, be is something of a prophet and

In his tariff speech in the Senate last
week Senator Frye said that there was no
doubt about the position which the South
occupied with regard to the tariff 1t in
dorsed the Presidents message, he declared,
fully and emphatically. The Republican
Senators, either purposely or ignorantly,
misstate the position of the South, rs rule,
on public questions, but Mr.. Frye was not
mistaken in what he said about the South
and the tariff.
There are n few newspapers in the South
which, for one reason and another, pretend
that there is a very strong protection senti-
ment in all the Southern States, and Mr..
Randall and a few of the Republican lead
ers in some Of their public speeches Ell
deavor 10 encourage the Northern protec-
tonists by asserting that the South is on
the point Of coming to their assistance, but
if they are at all well informed they know
TINT their assertions have very slight
foundation.
Nothing would please the Republicans
more than for the South to favor protec-
ton, and they would be glad if there were
good grounds for claiming Southern assist
ance for it. That they have no hope of any
thing of that kind is shown by the declara
ton Of Mr.. Frye.
The protectiouists in the South, with the
aid Of their organs, are making a good deal
of noise, but they deceive nobody. 1t is
understood that the number they represent
is 50 small as to be hardly worth noticing
If the understanding were otherwise. 50
shrewd a Republican politician as Mr.. Frye
would not boldly assert in the Senate that
the South is now. and has been always,
against high protective tariff.
Senator Frye might have said, with equal
TRUTH that the great West is also against a
nigh protective tariff. The Chicago Tribune
is the leading Republican paper of that
section, and it is one of the strongest advo-
Gates of tariff reduction. 1t is fair repre-
sentative of the tariff sentiment in the
West. Ever since the close of the civil war
the sentiment in favor of tariff reform has
been growing stronger there. 1t is with
difficulty that many Western
Republican Congressman are held
within the party lines on the tariff
issue. The time is not distant when few, if
any, Of them will dare to vote for main
tanning the present tariff In the face Of
Senator Fryes declaration, no Southern
journal ought to assert that there is any
considerable protection sentiment in the
South

Augusta evidently is about to enter upon

A good story is told of prominent and
highly esteemed New York Judge, who is not

getting his illusions published until one day he

regularity in certain Sunday paper under the

bearing good fruit One day it came into the
EDITORS head to have his library cataogued, and

Tho Chandler Election Bill.

Senator Chandler is evidently seeking to
earn the title of Purifier of Elections Is
it not strange that man who assisted so
materially in perpetrating the great fraud
of 1875, by which the will of the people was
defeated and a man not elected was made
President, should now be ambitions for
such a ttle3 1t can hardly be that his con
science is troubling him, because lie must
have parted company with that long ago.
The probability is that he has some purpose
in view which he carefully keeps in the
background
He first introduced bill to regulate Con-
gressional elections in Mississippi, Louisiana
and Alabama, and then another relating to
the same kind of elections in South Caro-
lima. Thinking, perhaps, that it would be
advisable TO take in the whole country.
though evidently only desiring to strike
blow at the South, he introduced a bin to
regulate Congressional elections in all the
States. II this bill were to become a law it
would be the source Of endless trouble and
annoyance. It would open the way for in
Vulnerable election contests in the courts,
and would afford dishonest men an oppor-
tunity for delaying the declaration Of the
results Of elections The contests which are
settled by Congress would first have TO BE-
passed upon by the Federal courts One

enough, but Senator Chandler seems to
