and Mr.. Newsome echoes the same SEN
timent when he says, ''Let him vote,
and do not stand in the way of des-
tiny" Well. we have been educating
him with all our might, and he has
been voting the republican ticket with
all his might, and yet our penitentiary
records show that eighty per cent. of
the colored convicts who have been
sent up within the last ten years can
read and write and never were slaves.
The solicitude of the north about the
negro's vote is amazing. The negro
does not care but little about it. He
had rather have something to eat and
to wear. With the masses everywhere
it is matter of business. Up north,
in the manufacturing districts, it means
q continuation of employment with
tens of thousands in their cities it
means dollar or two dollars for vote.
With the average negro down south, in
the cities and towns, it is drink or
two drinks to the voter, and fifty dol
lars or hundred to the negro preacher
who controls them. This is politics
corrupt thing, and the negro is
better off to be out of it. BILL ARP.

Tan PACT that few American Arm-

class succeed IN sccumulating any sore
Of . competency over and above the
expense OF living is e. deplorablo ope.
Conditions ought TO be such, in thu
great tooontry, that By working steadily,
as large majority Of them do, they
could Be enabled 20 not only make Q
living and educate their children well.
but should Be sble 70 save and lay op
money against the ravaGes Of old age.
Of sickness or Of death. That many
laborins men DO not save money wh6
could do % II they made the proper
effort to live more economically is Sso
. deplorabie fact. This is often the
case In the llrge cities, and is due to
the desire Of American people to make
Q show, 60 be as tony as their neigh
bors. When such people are thrown
ont Of employment, or are reduced hl
wages, they too often lay the blame
upon others. II more people would
live within their means; would make
an effort to provide for the future. in
fact, would give more thought % the
relaities of life and less to an effort
to outdo their neighbors in style ante
luxury, there would be fewer COM
plants Of hard times. We live too fast,
too recklessly. We are guided and
Influenced too much by passion and
pride. We need more earnest thought
in all things. Scheming fnanciers and
willy politicians study the prejudices
and passions Of the people and play
upon them for personal advancement.
Let our farmers and our laborers do
more thinking for themselves, more
managing for themselves, and they can
and will benefit their own class in eli
things.

Serenth notwithstanding Il le fact
that John j. Ingalls, has repr esented

a single measure he has eve cham

About the Appropriation for the 1mmigra-
ton Bureau,

xRUO0U u44O x4RR4OS4A0U4OA IVA eA4O
ton Bureau.
On next Monday the county commis-
sioners meet to do the regular quarter
ly business. One matter which will be
brought before them is a request that
they appropriate not less than 500 nor
more than $500 for the purpose of plac-
ing Barton county in the book published
by the state immigration bureau, Of
which book 10O, 900 copies will be issued
and sent to the eastern states to people
who have desire to come to Kansas.
This book is no "real estate scheme"
no bid for the ''pauper immagration''
that lands at Castle Garden, but book
that sets forth in truthful language the
advantages of Kansas as home for the
industrious and persevering. The OBJ
legations already made by some of our
citizens, in order that Barton, one of
the best counties in the state, should
not be omitted in the book, amount to
less than $500. To gather the ad-
dresses of the men of the right kind;
that Is men who would be benefit to
our county, and mail them these books,
and such other matter as the county
might desire to place before the public,
would cost at least $25 more, so that
the commissioners will be asked for not
less than 500. If they should see fit to
appropriate more the additional amount
would be devoted to the procuring of
more books. the preparing Of more
advertising matter for our county, and
of course the benefits would be greater
in proportion.
It is a surprise to us that men with
otherwise good judgement should listen
to outlandish stories of chronic
grumblers or unprogressive individuals,
who, to be contrary if for no other pur-
pose, have circulated the report that an
appropriation of thousands of dollars"
is asked of the commissioners; that the
"whole thing is scheme of the real
estate men," and that sit is intended
to send these books to Castle Garden
and induce the worst elements of for
