The negro deportation proposition
would seem to be invested with a new
phase by the action of the colored people
of Birmingham, Alabama, mentioned in
the dispatches. This is the first ex-
preston in favor of the scheme coming
from the colored people, and our notion
is that the sentiment among them gen.
orally obtains only where 1t is worked
up by some designing smart fellow who
hopes to realize some personal gain
thereby. We have yet to be convinced
that any considerable number of the
colored people of the south will ever
consent to leave that section to go any,
where. If he is permitted to enjoy his
rights of citizenship mmolested he will
be content TO remain there and work out
his material salvation, ''at peace with the
world and the balance of mankind

Give Us an Honest Report.

From the Leavenworth Times.
The papers of the state are discussing
the possibility of making cotton culture
pay in the state. For years cotton has
been raised in Kansas. The report of the
secretary OF the state board of agricul-
ture ought to afford reliable information
concerning the experiments, but it
doesn't. This Is not the fault of the sec
retaries, perhaps. but their lazy clerks.
For years it has been the custom TO make
reports of certain crops, including cot
ton, that are evidently not taken from
returns. Take the report Of 1855 for IN
stance. Whether il. IS in the northeast,
in the southeast. in the center or n the
western part of the state. IN every county
which is credited with raising cotton the
report states that Just 900 pounds OF cot
ton were raised to the acre, and in every
case 1t was worth Just cents per pound.
Ii does not take any one long to see that
this is not even good guess work. and
that it is utterly worthless. We ought
10 have honest reports Of our agricultu-
raj products.

BEET SUGAR IN KANSAS.

Louisiana Sugar Planter.
kansas may yet bless the day she
tried to make sugar from sorghum, even
if sorghum be abandoned, because it has
paved the way to the successful produc-
ton of beet sugar
The production of sugar from any
plant is a complex industry, usually re-
Quiring great skill and much experience,
and now that Kansas has the skill and
experience, she can shift from sorghum
to the beet in one year, if she wants to.
From what we know of the beet cuI-
ture the soil of Kansas is well adapted to
it. If there be too little rain there is
some compensation in the increased
sweetness OF the beet. The wonderful
success at Speckle's factory at Watson
vile. Cal, where irrigation is practiced,
shows that there is now little doubt of
the rapid expansion of this industry.
There seems to have been some trou-
BILE about hand labor required in beet
culture, our American farmers being
somewhat restless about farm drudgery
and wanting now to do all the farm
work with some kind of machine.
There can be no doubt that machines
will soon be produced that will do all
the work that needs to be done. The
Kansas people have suffered so much
from the loss of crops that they would
surely be willing to do the hand work
now necessary in beet culture and get
several thousands of acres planted for
1890, and they viii never regret the ef-
fort. With the complete manufactur-
ing outfits now at their doors, and the
proof at Medicine Lodge that they can
succeed, they should go ahead now and
confirm their success at once.
The harvest of oyer 5000, COO tons OF
beet sugar now drawing to a close in
Europe, shows what we can do here in
the United States. We can make our
| own iron, our own steel, now let Us
make our own sugar. Let Kansas and
louisiana lead in the good work.

Germany is trying to stop emigration
to this country. In that she may be
making a mistake. The Germans who
are seeking to come here come because
they love liberty and long for republican
government. If they are kept at home
they may some day cause trouble to i'm
periahsm. The greatest mistake of the
unfortunate Charles the First of England
was in forcibly keeping at home a band
of people who had gathered to sail for
America. In that band was Oliver
Cromwell.

GAG LAW DON'T GO.

Those who are clamoring for an extra
session of the legislature, ostensibly to Sc
cure the passage OF an act staying fore
| closure proceedings i'll the interest of the
| farmers of Kansas, may as well quit their

| in session it refused to pass such bill, and

| lature together Governor Humphrey,
| however understands the situation thor
| oughly, and the chances are that the legis-
! lature will not be called together. The
stay business can wait few months
! longer; likewise several other things
Atchison Champion.
Just see how quick you are to jump to
conclusion. You are too suspicious to
enjoy life. The EAGLE does not throw
itself on the extra session proposition,
| because, as it said in former mention
of the subject, there are some good and
substantial reasons in connection with
the objects set out IN the proposition why
an extra session is of doubtful expe.
diency, as well as some in its favor. But
there is nothing IN the petitions that are
being circulated, so far as we have been
able to discover, to so much as intimate
that the movement is not made in good
faith and prompted by the stress
of the situation that is now upon
the community in whose interest 1t Is
made. The number and character OF
signers to the said petitions will settle
that question, however. What we
wanted to say to the Champion is this:
its zeal in fighting the resubmission
movement is liable to lead it into eX-
cesses that will prove boomerang, and
if it isn't careful this will prove a case
wherein the object sought to be accom-
plished will be defeated.
One of the stock arguments of the
observation-disclosures, the Champion
among the rest, has been that the masses
of the people. and especially the farm
ers, care nothing about resubmission,
or if they do that they are opposed to it.
Granting that it is true, the Champion
wants to know that it is a condition that
comforts the farming community and
they have their own theories of the
cause or causes. But be all that as it
may. if this irrelevant matter is thrust in
TO prevent the granting of what the
farmers consider a reasonable request,
that is that the legislature be convened
for the purpose of devising some means
for their relief, they will find an oppor-
tunity and way to resent what they
cannot but regard as an insult, added to
injury.
Governor Humphrey may not see his
way clear to call the legislature together
III extra session, but if SO, he will be
able to give good and satisfactory rea-
sons therefor, based on the merits of the
case as set out in the petition that will be
presented to him, and not set up any
such specious plea as suggested by the
| Champion.
In word, the effect of the Cham
pion's illogical, unreasonable position in
the paragraph quoted, if pursued and
acted upon, will be to make Resubmis-
sionists of the farmers whether or no.
On this point we have no complaint, but
we want the farmers, as everybody else
fairly treated in this and all other
matters.

I learned how Antony had left Cleopatra

other things learned also.
And in the second year this did: dis
patched the old wife, Atoua, disguised as

her seek out Charmion, and, II yet she
found her faithful, reveal to her the secret
of nv way of life 80 she went, and in the
fifth meath from her sailing returned, bear
ing Charmion's greetings and token. And
she told me that she had found means tosee
Charmion, and, III talk, had let fall the
name of Harmachis, speaking OF me as one
dead whereat Charmicn. unable TO control
her grief, wept aloud. Then, reading her
heart-for the old wife was very clever,

more with JOY, and kissed the old wife, and
made her gifts, bidding her tell me that
ever she kept her VOW, aud waited for my
coming and the hour Of vengeance. So,
having learned many secrets, Atoua re-
turned again to Tape.
And in the following year came messen-
gers to me from Cleopatra, bearing sealed
roll and great gifts. Iopened the roll and
read therein:
