The Resubmisslonists succeeded in
electing their tickets at Leavenworth
and Wichita, two of the leading cities OF
the state, and in consequence they are
very jubilant. As little the rank and
file of the Republican party of Kansas
may think of it. the question of resub-
mission is destined to cause it trouble.
1t is a question which it must face
squarely at no distant day, and if it be
not careful the result will be a repeti-
ton of that in New Hampshire, Rhode
Island. Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

EMIGRATION AND THE NEGRO
QUESTION.

An old problem to solve the race
question in the South, namely, by
promoting emigration to the West
Indies, to Mexico, or to Africa, is re
vived simultaneously by persons who
approach the problems from many
points of view. The Mexican Gov.
eminent is reported to have the sub
ject under consideration "a colored
man from the South is lecturlng in
some Of the Northern cities in favor
of this scheme, and advocates Of it
are presenting it in books and per.
iodical literature. Prof. Henry A.
Scomp, of Emory College, Georgia,
who looks at the subject from a
southern point of view and with
sympathy for the colored race, has
prepared an article for the Decem.
Der number of The Forum, in which
he undertakes to show that assisted
emigration is the only solution OF
che Negro problem, and affords the
only means of escape from dangers

Degeneration in the Black Repoh,,e.

The situation of Hayti gives fresh
point to the old saying that no people
ut for freedom can Be enslayed In

spect i must now be freely admitted
that Hayti is worse off than Il was a
hundred years ago. when the ancez-
tors OF the wretched negroes who nr,v
do nothing or worse were kent AZ
work producing something of more
value to mankind than they produce
when left to themselves. Their en-.
reimbursement was effected mainly nv
the spread Of the ideas Of the French
revolution. Liberty, equality and
fraternity were held to Be the rights
OF the human species, without disfsnc-
ton OF character or culture. The
efe',t Of applying these principles to
Hayii has been the expulsion. excent
from the trading ports, where thew
are as much aliens as Europeans IN
hong kong-not onlyof all the men
who could constrain the negroes In
improve, but of all who could teach
them to improye-and the depenera-
ton has been rapid and complete. nm

The government of Brazil under
Dom Pedro's rule was liberal and
progressive, and the creation of a
Republic is in line with the senti-
ment of the age that is gaining
ground every day and everywhere
in favor of a government of the peo-
pie. Whether the present Republic
of Brazil will endure or not remains
to be seen, but it is only a matter of
time as to its permanency. The
marriage of the Princess Isabella
with French :;ristocrat and the
introduction of sectarianism' into
public affairs, brought the Emperor

politics and religion, is working its
way to the hearts and minds of the
people of the whole world. A cen.
tury from now not single kingdom
or empire may exist, and in less
than two centuries royal words and
works will be obsolete. The influence
of the laboring classes and the com.
mon people is being felt on more
equal terms with that of wealth and
position. Privileged classes are be-
coming unpopular. The world pays
tribute to no Caesar except God, and
every man helps to levy the taxes
he pays to the realm over which he
is one of the soyerigns. A free bal

In lending an attentive ear and
an observant eye to public affairs in
Martinsburg. there comes a conclu
sion whether correct or not, that
there is more moralizing and crit
cislng going on than real good work
with results to show. Judging from
the faults found and the criticisms
abjudged there are few public men
who have done their duty. In look
ing around there is no representa-.
tive of the people found in any ca
pacity to get much credit or many
thanks. This does not speak
we'll for the town. It shows that
every individual or two have their
own ways and wants, and il their
views are not favored things do not
60 right. 1t seems, too, that public
demand centres upon the imma
terial more than on the material.
Every one has plea Of his
own, for himself or iriend,-a little
political work to be done, a little
personal favor desired,--sOme
business patronage or contract to be
supplied. This tends to show either
inordinate greatness or desperate
business extremity. There seems
to be not enough 70 go around. 1t
tends further to make it undesirable
for good men to assume pnblc trusts
in the community. Our best and
most successful business men cannot
afford to brave this petty rivalry
and jealousy. We ask our public
men aud leaders in their respective
callings, whether it would not pay
better to try to create a more liberal
spirit and more friendly feeling, than
to strive so aIdently for the beauti
full and sublime in every day philos-
ophy.

10" NO LONGER POOR.


One of the most striking OF meta
morphoses now in progress has,eom-
paratively speaking, received no at
tention at the hands of the press.
We refer to the heretofore gradual,
but now quite perceptible, revolution
in the condition of the American
Indian. The Red Man of whom it
was written--~--4..-
" Lo, the poor Indian whose untutored
mind
Sees God in storms and hears him in the
Winds
has about disappeared. To day the
Indians are neither poor nor nntn
tored. In the Indian territory they
govern themselves with moderation
and wisdom not found in every com
munity among whites. They main
tain their own schools and churches,
and the teachers and preachers are
OF themselves. They edit and pub.
lish newspapers which compare fav-
orably in ability, in typographical
neatness and in evidence OF business
prosperity with the average weekly
paper anywhere. Financially, too,
they are well-to do. 1t is said the
Osages are the richest people in the
world, the tribe having invested at
seven per cent. interest sum equal
to over $4,000 for each man, woman
and child, besides 1000 acresoi iaud
each, valued at $4,000. The fami
lies average wealth is 100000 each.
Another common errcr is that the
indians are disappearing. On good
authority it is said that the census
next year will show an increase OF
population.
But the greatest step in Indian
progress is going on now and is a
matter of grave concern to the
American public. By recent act of
Congress every Indian over 81 years
of age who receives an allotment OF
land in severalty becomes a voter,
clothed with every attribute that at
taches to citizenship. The success,
full termination OF the negotiations
with the Sioux Indians by which
they surrender a large part OF their
reservation in Dakota will, it is esti
mated, by next gear throw into the
politics of the state the uncertain
quantity of 4,931. This vote thrown
s0lldly, as it probably will be in both
state and national elections, is likely
to become an important factor in
that state. Negotiations in progress
with other Indian tribes will soon
make many Thousand more Indian
voters. At the interior Department
it is thought that upward OF $4,000
Indians will be entitled to vote in the
next presidential election. How the
red man will conduct himself as a
part and parcel of the nation and
not as it's ward will be watched with
interest 10y all who are interested in
the solution of the Indian problem
