KANSAS CITY, Mo-, has secured some
special legislation which will be of great
value. 1t is the passage of a law which
places the justices of the peace and con-
stables on a salary and causes all fees to
be turned into the public treasury. Jus
tees will receive $4,000 year which
appears to be sufficient compensation for
the necessary labor performed. Some
Justices are said TO have been collecting
$500 or $500 month in criminal cases
alone. There will be no fees from these
While the fees from civil cases will not
noTe be so large, because there will not
be 50 many of them, one of the principal
Incentives being removed, they will
doubtless amount to more than enough
to pay the salaries of the courts. An eff
fort was made to procure a similar ar
rangement for Topeka through the late
legislature, but like many other good
measures, it failed We in Kansas seem
TO furnish good ideas for the rest of the
country to put into practice.

Physicians

prescribe SCOTS Emulsion of
Cod-liver Oil and Hypophos-
phites because they find their
patients can tolerate it for a
long time, as it does not upset
the stomach nor derange the
digestion like the plain oil
SCOTS Emulsion is as much
easier to digest than the plain
oil as milk is easier to digest
than butter. Besides, the fish
fat taste is taken out of the oil,
and it is almost pa1atable. The
way sickly children, emaciated,
anam1c and consumptive adults,
gain flesh on SCOTS Emulsion
is very remarkable.

At Pittsburg, Cleveland and wherever

Senator Morgan Thinks the New Exodus

WASHINGTON, March 90. = Senator

exodus of negroes from the south to
Africa will increase rapidly in proper
tions and he believes that the time will
soon come when the government of the
United States will take the matter up
officially and aid their deportation.
africa" he said, in discussing the
question, sis the natural home of the
negro, and majority of them desire to
return to that country. They cannot well
be blamed for entertaining that wish, for
there is nothing in this or any white
mans country for the African race.
Sufficient time has elapsed since the
slaves were emancipated to demonstrate
the white mans superiority in all walks
oflif and my observation is that most of
the negroes already realize that if they
remain here they viii always occupy in
ferior positions and continue as of old to
be little more than servants"
Senator Morgan also asserted. that
large majority of the white population
in the south would prefer to have the
negro go.
ut is certain" he said, ''that many of
the planters, the owners of large planta-
tions. prefer to have them remain for
parison with certain class of whites
but this element is in the minority and
the poorer whites and the professional
classes in the south prefer the negroes
sent away
''The poor man does not want his com
petition, and all classes object to negro
equality in political affairs, as all feel
that they stand directly in the way of
securing a more desirable class of res
idents by preventing immigration
Furthermore, it is not true, as seems to
be supposed, that only negroes can do
the labor in the southern states, an as
sertion which is substantiated by the fact
that the cotton crop of this country has
increased from a little over a million
before the war to nine million"
The senator expressed the opinion that
congress would take the problem Of ex-
porting the negro in hand at no distant
day, and said he expected that within
the next three or four years the govern
ment would be found providing means
for their transportation.

struggle for the possession of the bed of
a dried up lake between band of squat
tiers on one side and the Kern County
Land company, Miller and Lux, and their
armed retainers on the other, has created
great excitement in this city and
throughout Kern county. Forty men are

charges are hourly announced.
The land in question is about $4,000
acres in area. Although suits of eject

some have been forcibly elected. The
third mass meeting this week has been
called by the squatters for this evening,
and it is feared inflsmmatory speeches
may cause bloodshed The squatters
have resided on the land for five years.
