DAkOTA's DISASTER.

Those are awfully sickening stories
that are waited over the wires detail
ing the terrible losses by fire and wind
in Northern Dakota. 1t has been
many years since such n devastating
prairie fire has swept over any part of
this country and the accounts recall
to the memory of the early settlers Of
the great American desert nights and
days of terror, which we're Of frequent
occurrence along the frontier line Of
civilization as it gradually advanced
irons the base OF the Alleghenys
toward the Pacific coast. The loss of
property and life and the destruction
of wild animals was terrible. Hun
dreds Of pioneeIe were compelled by
these visitations OF uncomfortable ele-
ments to abandon their hopes in the
West and retrace their course TO their
former homes. Dakota, like all the
Western prairie regions, is now under
going the trials from this source that
the others have encountered, during
the period OF their early settlement.
Washington fortunately escapes this
disaster, as it's numerous water courses,
mountain ranges aud forests, COM
bined with seasonable rainfall and
the absence of hurricanes and hot
winds, render sweeping fires OF either
plain or forest an impossibility. Still
our people, many OF whom have
passed through experiences similar TO
those with which their Dakota neigh
bors are now afflicted, sympathize
deeply with the sufferers aud il neces-
sary will give substan tial testimony TO
that effect

Tourgee is undertaking work which
ia as infamous in its purpose as it

coLoNIzING THEMSELVES.

Great alarm is Expressed by the
Southern press on account OF the ten
dency of the negroes to colonize them.
selves in Mississippi, and Arkansas
The white population in those states
is barely holding its own in numbers,
while negroes are tiocking III from all
directions, and the local censuses show
an enormous increase. AT the pres
ent rate of concentration both states
will soon be practically in the control
OF the blacks. There is no apparent
reason for this migration, and it Id ev-
ident that colonization is entirely for
eign TO the sentiment of the negroes.
The influx to Mississippi and Arkan-
sas can not be attributed To a desire
on the part OF tho negroes to create
negro states, rs it is we'll known that
they tiercely resent every suggestion
tending iR that direction. Their
reasons for going can therefore be ac-
counted for only on the theory that a
tidal wave of unrest has swept over
the negro population in the southern
states, which has been accelerated by
the allurements Of smooth tougued
emissa-ies OF persons interested in en-
couraging this class of immigration to
Mississippi and Arkansas. The effect
will be lust the same, however, and
unless something is done to check the
exodus the negro population in those
states will in few years largely out
number that of the whites.
