If, IN their treatment of the negro ques
tlon, northern republicans would only use
the same rules of common sense they apply
to problems with which they are more ia
miiar, they would see how utterly absurd
are their words and acts in respect of that
question. Southern negroes can, and do,
go where they please, as Is proved by their
frequent and extensive migrations; and If
they were subject to such gross outrages as
are alleged to stfl ct them necessarily, not
one OF them would remain in the South.

SENATOR JONES of Arkansas IL one OF the
many intelligent southern men who think
the church, South as we'll as North, should
provide for its own household, rather than
for thcss of other countries. The negroes, as
correctly stated by Senator Ingale, have
their own churches and worship by them
selves. They don't attend white churches
nor listen to white preachers. But they
crowd their own churches all day long on
Sundays and until late at night during the
week. Unfortunately for them, and for the
white people among whom they live, their
preachers are as Ignorant as themselves, and
In many cases are criminals, and in nearly
all, DO liticlans. OF course, under the In.
structlons of such teachers neither their
moral nor religious condition can improve.
The church, instead Of devotiDg 80 much
money to the support of foreign missions,
should at least see what effect would be pro-
duced by establishing some among the ne
groes of the South. Probably the expert.
meut would fail; but it should be tried, If for
no better purpose than to show the people
of the North what their fellow citizens ofthe
South have to contend with.

fused to accept her as an assistant. At
present the printing room Is occupied only

as assistants to the plate printers are among

LEGISLATIVE.

In the Senate on Saturday MIR. Heston
presented bill to amend the act to further
define the duties and enlarge the powers OF
the ommissioner of Agriculture, and Mr..
Woods one to amend the code in relation to
the military fund. This bill makes the
military fund of the State one fourth of per
cent. on the income of the State from all
sources except the tax for schools.
The Senate passed the House bill to
amend the charter of the Mt. Vernon Ave-
Avenue Association, approved February IL,

the Prince William Improvement Company,
approved March 81, 1887.
In the House Mr.. Hay offered q joint res
olution which was adopted for the appoint
ment of pint committee to examine into
the criminal expenses ofthe Commonwealth,
and report to the General Assembly by bill
or otherwise. The Senate refused to adopt
the resolution and reported its action to the
House, whereupon Mr.. Hay offered reso-
luton that the House appoint its own COM
mittee to consider the matter, which was
adopted.
The disposition of the Senate seemed to
be to dispose of the bill already framed,
which, It Is thought, will reduce the ex.
pepse 500. 600 per annum, and then to en-.
act such supplemental legislation as may be
deemed necessary.
The House ordered to its third reading q

TRICKS OF EX-CONVICTS.
They Always Try TO Make Their Peace
With the Police Force.

They Always Try TO Make Their Peace
With the Police Force.
st. Louis GlObe-Democrat.1
A peculiar practice has grown up among
convicts in recent years since the police be-
gan keeping records of men and their crimes
in this Western country. The time was
when convict who had just been released
would avoid every man who seemed to be in
any way connected with police depart
ment; but they have changed their tactics
now. AS soon as they are released from the
penitentiary they make their way to the
first big city they can reach and report to
the chief. Convicts leaving Jefferson City
go to Kansas City or come to st. Louis, and
as soon as they get off the train they go
straight to the Chiefs Office and report.
Generally in the course of the converse
tion they tell where they were sent from
and why, how long they have served, and
what they propose to do. They invariably
say that they intend in the future to work
and earn an honest living, and they ask if
they will be interfered with if they stay in
the city; whether they will be run in on
suspicion or anything of that kind. Usually
those who make the loudest promises turn
up again in some scrape. These fellows
are of the hardened class.

A Request Tint AstOnished One of Albert

Eugene Field, in Chicago News.l
Alma Tadema is perhaps the most swell
artist in London; he lives in princely style,
is much courted, and is quite chummy with
the Prince of Wales. He is not very pre-
possessing in his appearance; in fact, he
looks quite like the prosperous tradesman.
But he is exceedingly swell, and is cnrre-
spondingly proud of his social position.
They tell a good story about Tadema's
experience with Elihu Vedder. The latter
is thoroughly rough-and-tumble character,
careless as to dress, Indifferent to usages
and traditions, wholly insensible to the nice
requirements of society-a Bohemian to
degree. At one time he visited the Tade-
mas, and the morning after his arrival at
their house Mrs. Tadema was awakened by
rude knocking at her chamber door; much
alarmed, she aroused her husband, who de-
manded in fierce tones what was wanted. It
was Vedder who was at the door, and he an
swered in voice loud enough to heard all
through the house: 81 say, Tadema, old
chap, where do you keep the scissors that
you trim your cuffs with?"
You can perhaps fancy the horror that
this blatant inquiry produced upon the
sensitive, the fnical Tadema-the boon COM
panion to the Prince of Wales.

A FAMOUS BAND OF BANDITS
Which MonopoIizes the Business Of Rob-
berry in Classic Greece.

Which MOnopolizes the Business Of Rob.
berry in Classic Greece.
From the New York Trioune.l
The bandits of Greece who furnished Ed
mond About with the romantic material for
''The King of the Mountains" 80 years
ago, still hold almost undisputed sway in
certain parts OF the peninsula. In the Pei
Oponnesus. the family of Lyngos has had a
virtual monopoly in robbery for decades.
The original leader, who lost his life in 1870,
was one of the most popular leaders of his
day. His name still lives in numerous foil:
songs which praise him as a genuine hero,
and recount his deeds in the most extrava-
CANT and fattering language. Chief Lyngos
preferred to capture his victims on Sundays,
in the neighborhood of the village churches.
Being a good and pious christian" he was
thus enabled to kiss the cross before
making his arrests, and thus hallow his
actions.
Lyngos' brothers, who lived in Epirus, re-
manned true to the family traditions. They
were finally captured, however, and together
with 40 accomplices beheaded. Chief Lyngos
himself was killed finally by his nephew,
who gained reputation for daring bravery
in the PeloponDesus almost equal to that Of
his far-famed uncle. He was captured,
however, a few days ago and now awaits his
fate behind the prison bars of one of the
villages which he often pillaged in days
gone by.
