WHAT DOES 1T MEAN3

An Exodus Of Negroes from Tennessee to
Kansas-LOOk Out for Them.
From the Kansas COmmOner.
Fifteen hundred negroes on route from
Memphis, Tenn, to Wichita, is the con-
dition Of facts at the present time. The
significance Of this fact is quite impor-
tant, and very suggestive, coming rs it
does right upon the heels Of the state
ment that the state was being colonlzed
for political purposes by the Republican
party managers Of this state.
A representative Of the OommOner
made partial investigation Of this mat
ter yesterday, and from one of the prom
lnent negroes Of this city, learned that
negroes were being rapidly shipped to
this state from Tennessee and scattered
promiScouSly throughout the state. He
refused to state their real object In com
ing here, but partly let the cat out Of the
bag when he admitted that every one Of
them would vote the Republican ticket.
He said, however, that besides the fifteen
hundred destined for Wichita, countless
numbers were being shipped to other
parts Of the state, and that already
elghty-seven families had arrived at Sol
dier City, small town In the northwest
ern part Of Jackson county. The ne
groes coming to Wichita, Of which
twenty or thirty families have already
arrived, are from Memphis, Tenn, hail
ing from that portion Of the city known
as "the beRd," portion Of the city ex-
cluSively inhabited by negroes, the vast
majority Of whom have always been in
exceedingly Straightened circumstances
financially, which naturally gives rise to

and enforcement Of the civil service sys-
tenn, and we denounce the hypocriSy Of
both the old parties In their treatment Of
this question. We favor the Australian
ballot system, and we denonnce the sR-
forts Of the old parties to dlsfranchlse
minority parties In the enactment of such
laws. We favor the election Of presl
dent, vice president, senators, postmast-
ers and all district federal officers by d.
rect vote Of the people.
The president and vice president
should be eligible to but one term of six
years. We favor municipal ownership
of all public Improvements, such as
water, street cars and illumlnative
plants. We favor liberal pensions for
our war veterans; laws protecting social
purity; uniform divorce laws for all the
states, based upon the divine law; the pro-
lection Of all men In one days rest In
seven. Arbitration Is the way to settle
all disputes, both between capital and
labor and between nations. We favor
the speedy opening Of the Cherokee out
let to settlement. We favor such legls-
latlon as will encourage irrigation in
western Kansas. We denounce Pinker-
tonism and Csrnegieism, convict, paupeF
and child labor, and oppose grants of
money to seCtarian schools.
Sixteenth-The ballot box is the cor
ner stone Of the republic. The ballot is
the most sacred right of the American
citizen, and should be protected from
violence in the south, and from corrup-
tlon In the north.

To the Reform Workers Throughout the United
States:
The national committee Of the Peoples
party makes this appeal to you for an inn
mediate contribution for campaign funds.
The events Of the past few days and the ad-
vices received from every part of the Union

Civil liberty and public order are at stake.
Do not delay moment. Take up collections

raised the means necessary to transport
themselves and effects from Memphis to
this city. One negro offered as an ex-

but when the reader, particularly he who
Is familiar with the customs Of the south,
takes into consideration that this Is one
OF the dullest times of the year in the
south, and that the prosperous days for
the negroes are right during the cotton
season, and that the negroes who depend
upon the cotton industry for livelihood
have been Idle for months past, he Is at

tlcient funds were raised to enable fifteen
hundred negroes living In one neighbor-
hood TO arise as one body and migrate to

of the action of the convention of the
Peoples party at Wichita I should be

generosity of the veteran soldiers in that
convention. Their enthusiasm and
earnestness In the patriotic desire to
close up the ranks and present united
front to the common enemy is like q
bugle call to every man who loves his
country. 1 should desire no higher
honor than to stand shoulder to shoulder
In the ranks with men so brave and gener-
GUS, and feel most keenlH my weakness
and inability to do honor to our cause iu
80 conspicuous position as that TO which
I have been assigned. can but pledge
the utmost earnestness and good faith In
the endesvor to maintain the principles
enunciated in the st. Louis platform, as
indorsed by the convention and which
again in the history OF our country rep
resent the resistance to tyranny" which
ais obedience to God" With the most
profound thanks to the entire Conven-
tion beg leave to place myself at your
disposal. Very sincerely and fraternally
yours, W. A. HARRIS.

Ing declaration OF principles:
We endorse the platform of the national

portation and transportation Of intoxicat-

this criminal business in any form, Is an
alliance Of government with criminals

dRined use Of civil government.
Second-We denounce the hypocrisy of
the Republican party Of Kansas In pre-
tending to oppose resubmiSsion, and
then providing for a constitutional con-
vention; in declaring in platforms in

minlstratlon; in attempting to deceive
the people by the enforcement plank,
while at the same time saloons are run
openly and license fees are collected sys-
tematlcsllY in our cities and towns; in
appointing and retaining police commits
sioners who are enemies Of the law,
under the federal constitution; the state,
not the municipality, is the unit of gov
ernment, and we insist upon the domi-
nant party suppressing the municipal re-
belllon against the state.
Thlrd-We deplore the number of par
don't granted to persons convicted Of
violating the prOhibitory law, both by
the present and past administrations, and
declare that the absolute power to grant
pardons is as dangerous In Republican
government, as is absolute power to con-
denim and punish, and should not exist.
All power Of the executive to pardon
should be limited and regulated by law.
Fourth-We are opposed to the calling
of q state constitutional convention as an
unnecessary expense and an attempt TO
sugar coat resubmisslon and force It un-
Willingly upon the people.
Flfth-Our interstate commerce law
should be amended so as to prohibit the
introduction of intoxicants Into prohlbl-
ton territory.
Slxth-No citizen should be denied the
right to vote on account of sex, and we
denounce the double dealing Of the Re-
publican party on this question, as
shown by their legislative record.
Seventh-The circulating medium Of
the country may rightly consist Of gold,
silver and paper, and should all be Of legal
tender and In sufficient quantity to
meet the demands Of business and labor
and not less than $50 per capita. We
favor the free coinage of silver, and we
denounce the act of 1878 by which silver
was demonetized. All money should be
Issued by the general government.
Eighth-All systems of transportation
and communication should be controlled
by the government In the interests Of the
the people.
Ninth-We favor the raising of revenue
for the economical support of the gov
ernment by levying on what we possess,
and not on what we consume; hence,
after protecting ourselves against foreign
governments which levy tariff on us, or
bar out our products from their markets,
we favor raising the remainder by
graduated income tax.
Neutrality-suspicious. should not be
allowed to acquire land in this country,
and we favor the Limitation of corporate
ownership Of land. All unearned grants
Of land to railroad companies should be
reclaimed, and no further portion of the
national domain should be thus granted.
Eleventh -Speculations In margins,
the cOrnering of grains, money and pro-
ducts, and the formation Of trusts and
combinations for the arbitrary advance
ment Of prices should be prohibited.
Twslfth-Our immigration laws should
be 80 revised as to exclude from our
shores all pauperS and criminals. The
required time Of residence for naturall-
zatlon should be extended, and no natur-
allied person should vote within one
year after naturalization papers are is
sued.

DON'T LIKE HIS PRICE.

Reformers and tho Hunter Faction Both
Join to Jump on the Police Magistrate
Ordinance-Mayor Kennedy's Economic
Salaries Are Not Very Well Received.
Allegheny's police magistrate ordinance is
virtually between the devil and the deep sea-
As was indicated in THE DISPATCH yes
terday there was some funny work about
the ordinance not coming up for action on
Thursday nights meeting of Councils. The
fact is it got it from both sides.
The history of the police magistrate
squabble is queer one, and shows how in
politics it makes a difference who
is to eat the hay in the man
ger. During Wyman's administration both
he and the Hunter faction favored the move
while the reformers bitterly opposed 1t.
Finally fate shook the ballot boxes and the
re'ormers were on top. Then came the
situation of a few weeks ago with
the reformers howling for magistrates and
the Hunter faction Opposed because their
men now stand no show OF getting the
positions. But time wore on until it be-
came threadbare, and an ordinance was pre-
pared giving the five magistrates an
aggregate salary of about $4,000 q
year, the one in the central district to re-
ceive 81, 200 per annum. Again the Hunter
faction opposed, but to no avail. and the
thing was cut and dried until Mayor Ken
nedy developed few additional economic
ideas. He succeeded in having the ordi-
nance cut to fit his ideas, which were
200 year for the man at Central
station and S25 a year for the others.
That was the last straw, and now
the reformers have turned on their own
measure They want police magistrates,
but not at the Mayors price, and so they
have Joined hands with the Hunter people
to fight the move unless it is altered to suit
their tastes.

D. O'Hooligan, workman, complained
to Superintendent of Police O'Mara last
night that Louis Sussman, the Wvlie ave-

in = bargain for a suit of clothes.
He said he went to Sussman's store
to buy suit He selected coat and vest,
and asked to have them wrapped up. He
also wanted pair of trousers for which he
had to go to the back part of the store.
After he made his purchases he took his
bundles and went home, but on opening
them found it did not contain the clothes he
bought He went back to the store and
wanted the mistake rectifed, but he says
Mr.. Sussman only laughed at him.
Superintendent O'Mara sent Detective
Robinson to the store with OH ooligan, but
they got little satisfaction, and the Superin-
tendent then had an information made
against Sussman before Alderman Nc
Kenna The latter made the charge one of
larceny, and on It Sussman was arrested.
He gave bail in $500 for hearing on Tues
day.

sustained he would have his license re-

Frances Smith, girl about years old,
was drowned in the Allegheny river at the
foot of Pine street, Allegheny, shortly be-
fore o'clock last night Her body was
swept down the stream and has not yet been
recovered. She had been playing on the river
bank with few companions and there
being a number of large boards scattered
along the shore the children took delight in
showing them from the bank. One of the
boards that was floating near the shore
tempted Frances to step upon it. As
she did so the piece of timber turned and
she was thrown into the river. The water
was beyond her depth and the current
swept her down the stream before assistance
could be secured. Her parents live
at 412 Ohio street, the father being
trated by the news, and became so hysteri-
cal that she had to receive medical atten-
tion.
Every effort is being e1erted by friends
of the family to find the little girl, but up
to late hour last night no trace was found.
