rative Of a journey to Khiva describes
melancholy music that is 10 be heard

initiated it would be wholly uninteili-
eibie. but it is really due To q particular
form Of paper kite which the natives
are ia the habit OF leaving floating in
the air The erosstick of the kite is bent
and strung ike "a bow, and the tightened
string Hibrates in the breeze with the

down under stress Of the superincum-
Crumjacker and the South.
The people of the south at once dis
ccrned the crafty purpose that mrked
behind the Crumpacker resolution. They
are rightly convinced that the radicals
responsible for the contemplated "inves-
tigation. are dyed-in-the-wool South
haters. and that their object is to reduce
the southern representation in Congress
and 10 establish the machinery with
which to control or distort the result Of
southern elections. They find the confr-
nations for this belief even in the news
columns Of Radical Republican organs.
They are doubly confirmed by the utter.
ancos of conservative Republicans pro-
testing against hte Crumpacker resolu-
tion as certain to revive the spirit of
sectional hatred.
As for the Democratic members Of Con-
gross, their duty in the premises is plain.
They must fight the Crumpacker resolu-
ton with the same grim determination of
the earlier fights against the earlier force
bills. They must. as i'm those instances,
solicit the conscientious cooperation of
decent Republicans who believe in fair

ing. NOT for the welfare aud safety OF the
south alone. but Tor the welfare and SAT
cry of the entire Union. If Congress is
permitted to violate the Constitutional
rights of southern states as is proposed
in the Crumpackor resolution. a precedent
is established for the wronging Of any
state in the Union or states. The Crtm-
packer resolution must be defeated i'm the
interest Of al the reoplc.-Ist. Louis Re
