To Help Negroes Northward


When we read in the northern papers
articles advising the negroes to migrate to
the North--tbat is. some of them and
thus improve their condition, we conclude
at once that the men who make this recon-
mendation do not know what they are
talking about.

Little wots the gosin WHAT goose thinketh.'
Many of the negroes Of Richmond could
obtain IN New York or Brooklyn or PhIla-
delphia much higher wages than they re-
ceive here, but that fact does not influence
them to leave Richmond and take up their
abode IN those cities.
In the papers Of Wednesday we read
that a number Of colored men Of Chicago
have organized the Northwestern Immi-
grafton Association of Chicago for the
purpose Of aiding and assisting the colored
people TO leave the southern States and
find them homes in northern States. 1t IS

been made by which large number OF

The Ameer's Appeal

Fit be true that the Ameer of Afghanis-
tan has appealed to the Indian Govern.
ment for help TO keep the Russians out OF
the Pamirs Mr.. GLADSTONE Is In luck, pro-
vided. OF course. that he makes the best
of his opportunity. A favorable response
to the appeal would be popular in Eng
land, and would go great way towards
neutralizing the opposition 10 the
Grand Old Man which is due to
his hitherto timid policy in regard to
Central Asia. Nor is that all. 1t does not
appear that British interests will permit OF
any other than a favorable response.
Should Russian designs in tire Pamirs be
carried out. il would be only question OF
a short time when the whole Afgbanistan
buffer would be overun and the northern
Colossus march TO the very. gates OF India
without doubt Great Britain would also
be at these gates. and with o sufficient
force 20 defend them; but Mr.. GLADSTONE,
by giving the Car to understand that In
this instance he will sustain the Beacons-
field policy, can prevent Russia from &C.
curing new and most important bases. not
only for military operations, but for that
emissary work which is such an efec-
tive agency IN every movement she makes
for supremacy in the East.

The New German Army Bill.

Fuller reports of Emperor WILLIAMS
epeech at the FRANoIs JosEPH banquet
chow that he has been misrepresented re-
garding his attitude towards VoN CAPRIvi
tn respect of the twO-years' army bill. He
and his Chancellor are not at logeerheads
over the measure. The Emperor admitted
that the two.years' term of service was the
basis OF new bill. His opposition to 1t
was only conditional. in that he said If the
people wished the term OF service re-
duced they would have TO pay tho add
tional cost that would be entailed by tho
change. The new bill, according 10 tho
explanations Of IL that have been gwen,
involves numerical increase OF the army
and would necessitate heavy increase
OF appropriations TO make the recognized
military system effective. The Emperor
declared that he would prefer an army OF
the present size to one with more men
but inferior in equipment and discipline.
The essence of the Emperor's views is
that whatever be the size Of the German
fighting machine the keeping Of IL in tho
rough order is necessary condition OF ma
tlonal safety. Tho German army is now per-
baps the most perfect military organization
the world has ever known. and that fact has
proved one Of the most important factors
10 preserving the peace Of Europe. To
lower its standard Of efficiency would be
70 invite attack from the Dual Alliance,
and in that event Germany would DO called
upon TO face formidable enemies on both
her eastern and western frontiers. When
this rs considered We cannot fail TO concede
that young WILLIAMS position Is fortified
b. good sense.
1t does not follow. however. that the
new bill viii not be adopted. While an
fagonism TO spending more money on the
army may be expected from certain quar-.
tiers. IT is not at all improbable that the
masses Of Germany will be disposed to ac-
eept the Empsror's conditions. The add
tional appropriation would cause serious
drain on the financial resources Of the peo-
pie, but that would count for very little
against the conclusion that larger
military establishment. as thor ough-
~ disciplined and equipped as the
tsesent oae. would place the en-

Our New Currency.

Let us hurry up the establishment of
State banks. 80 that we may have at Chit
oago next year an abundance of currency
which nobody from any other country IN
the world would accept as currency. Let
us have notes or the Bungtown Bank, the
Distant Bank, the Unknown Bank, and all
the cities. towns, villages, and ham
lets in the United States. This currency
you may possibly be able to palm OF on the
unsuspecting natives. but we viii wager
our brightest gold piece that no blasted
foreigner will accept Us currency or as a
substitute for money bank notes which
will hasten home from all the money Gen.
tres. and be less current IN Chicago itself
than greepbacks are in Europe.
We have no fear that the people of the
United States viii lose their heads on this
subject. We have good currency. Let

pire in better position than ever
TO make fight TO the finish, when the In
evitablc conflict comes. and render partial
disarmament in Europe practicable. Aside
from this, German patriotism has suffered
too much for German unity 10 pause at any
sacrifice should il be shown that
failure 10 make that sacrifice would
eHdancer the integrity. OF the empire.
There was opposition to the sep
tcnnate bill. but BIsaARcK by atousing
the fears Of the masses swept IL away
az chsif before the wind. The two-years
service bill may prove popular with the
people both because it will take less time
out of the productive life Of the indi-
sidual and because 1t will be greater
safeguard TO the nation. 10 say the least,
the Emperor seems to have dealt fairly
with the people in this matter. and fully
prepared them for what they may expect
when the bill comes up in the Rcichstag.

The Speech Of Monkeys. By r. L. GARNER.
In two parts. New York: CHARLES WEB
sTER d Co.
Professor GARNER is en- enthusiastic be-
lever in the theory that all animals have
some mode of speech by which they can
talk among their own kind. and IN en-
deavonnR to prove that theory has given
special attention TO the habits of and
sounds uttered by monkeys. He has
written q great deal on these subjects, and
hrs articles have been accorded space In
some of tho leading monthly magazines
and reviews of the country. The present
work is certainly interesting, whatever
may be thought of the part imagination
plays in 1t. Professor GARNER will prove
further his earnestness in the cause OF his
science by sojourn among the monkeys
of Africa.

Senator FAULKNER regards West Vir-
ginia as safe for the Democrats. Among
other strong reasons he gives for the faith
that is in him is that the force bill will
have the capital effect of bringing out the
apathetic Democratic vote. Great in
terest, he says, is felt in 1t by old and
young, and 1t will swell the tide of voters
to very appreciate extent.
The force bill will have this effect in all
the other southern States if our speakers
keep it to the forefront.
