The article presents information on various socio-political developments related to the U.S. The bill to prevent political contributions by civil-service employees, which was introduced in the U.S. House on Saturday, is by no means an admirable measure viewed merely as legislative handiwork. It is, too, open to suspicion as being proposed not by the party in power but by the opposition, to whom it would give a great advantage in the elections of the next two years. In another development, the African American "exodus" to Kansas has unquestionably run its course for the present, and it is now clear both that it was highly local in its character, and that the extent of it has been very much exaggerated.
