Tho CoIored Man In the South.

Senator lIoar made a brief but vigorous
speech in the Senate recently on the az
titude of the Southern people toward the
negro. In few earnest words he strip
ped the subject of the sophistries in
which the sentimental Southern orators
seek to envelop it, and showed that the
negro may be well treated by Sou hern
Bourbons until he tries to vote the Re
publican ticket, hut that that is charac-
tcrized a. the crime against civilization
and frequently costs the colored Republi-
can his life.
There is no good reason why Senator
Butler should take up the time of the
Senate and weary the country with the
discussion Of his bill for the deportation
of negroes to Africa. There il not par
ticle of seriousness In the proposition
The seven or eight million colored people
in the county are here to stay, and their
title to citizenship is as good as Senator

Situation in Kansas.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, November g.
Kansas has become historical as a State
OF sudden political movements and the
question which is agitating its popula-
ton this Fall is whether the Farmers
Alliance, the Republican party, the
Democratic, Re-SubmiSsiOn party, or a
combination of either two is 10 assume
political control after Tuesdays cleo
tion.
There are TO be elected a Governor
and full list OF State officers, seven
congressman and a Legislature that
will choose a successor to Senator In
gals, in the L. ). Senate. The Farmers
Alliance and the Re-SubmiSSiOn parties
have both come into prominence within
the last eight months. The former party
is well organized. and aggressive with an
OF 10000 members, ac-
knowledEes its present chief ambition
to be the retirement Of John j. ingalls,.
from the United States Senate. The
Farmers Alliance and the Democratic
re-SubmiSSion parties are generally op-
posed TO the reelection OF Senator IN
gals. The great Kansas senator mas
become the paramount issue in his
State and party principles have sunk
into insignifcance with many OF the
voters. ingalls, has made an active
campaign and laughs at the possibility
OF Republican defeat.
The Congressional fight is somewhat
lost from sight in the prominence OF
State issues. The Republicans claim
the entire seven congressman from
Kansas. but the Democrats express
hopes OF electing two or three in the
strongest Alliance districts.
