The NEGRoEs.-The census reports for
1870 show an increase of 921 per cent,
in the negro population of this country.
The New York World believes, and this
is mostly the case, that the increase rep
resents the natural growth Of the planta-
ton negroes from 1860 to 1865, rather
than an increase among the freedmen
from 1865 on. Observation, without
the aid of any actual statistics, induces
the conclusion that mulattoes are on the
increase among the colored race, and
it is held that the offspring of mixed
races are unproductive in nature and
prone to disease and early death. The
census also shows that there is notable
disposition among the colored people to
abandon the agricultural pursuits, in
which they have been mainly useful in
America, aud flock to the cities. There
has been very notable increase in the
colored population of all the Southern
cities since the war. For instance, Bal
timore has added IL 500 negroes to its
population since 1860; Charleston, 1927
st. Louis, 1851; New Orleans, 26, $50
Washington, "a, 472, and so on in pro-
portion. The conclusion is, that the
race of blacks in this country must de.
teriorate when they abandon the work
to which they are adapted by nature and
habit, and seek the lazy and slothful
life of large cities, where they are at a
disadvantage in competing with the
whites in skilled labor and commerce,
but must relapse into idleness or unprof.
table pursuits. Henceforth their destiny
will be matter for the negroes to de-
termine for themselves, as the whites
have done all for them that can be ex
pected.

now THE TARIFF WORKS.

Every intelligent man ought to be set
TO thinking and acting when rejecting
that as a farmer starts for his work he
has a shoe put on his horse with nails
taxed at 81 per cent; driven by ham
mer taxed 45 per cent; cuts stick with
a knife taxed 80 per cent; and bitches
up his horse with trace-ehains taxed O.
per cent He returns from his labor 10
his home at night and lays his wearied
limbs on a sheet taxed IS per cent, and
covers with blanket that has paid $50
per cent He rises in the morning, puts
on his humble flannel shirt taxed at 5O
per cent; shoes taxed at 80 per cent;
and hat taxed at 20 per cent. opens fam
lily worship by chapter from his Bible
taxed % per cent, and kneels to his God
on an humble carpet taxed $50 per cent.
He sits down to his frugal meal and
eats nom a plate taxed 40 per cent, with
a knife and fork taxed 30 per cent,
drinks his cup of coffee, taxed AZ per
cent. or tea 20 per cent; with sugar
taxed 20 per cent; seasons his food with
salt taxed 100 per cent, with pepper
297 per cent. He looks upon his wife
and children all taxed the same way;
takes a chew of tobacco taxed 100 per
cent, or lights a cigar taxed l20 per
cent, and thanks his stars that he lives
in the freest and best government the
world ever saw. But if, on the Fourth
of July, he wants to have the Star
Spangled Banner of real bunting. he
must pay the American Bunting Compa
ny of Massachusetts, 100 per cent. for the
glorious privilege. The same rule ap'
plies to the miner, the mechanic and the
laborer, yet it is asserted that the tariff
'protects American industry"

PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

During the first session of Congress
in New York in 1888, the following, to-
gether with ten other amendments to the
Constitution, was submitted to the several
States for ratification;
No law varying the compensation for
services of Senators and Representatives
shall take effect until an election of the
Representatives has interviewed.
This amendment, says the Petaluma
(Cal.) Argus, was offered by James Madi-
son, a memberof Congress from Virginia,
and afterwards President of the United
States. 1t was passed by both Houses,
and prop -rly laid before the Legislatures
of the several States. There were then
thirteen States, and only six ratified the
proposed mendment, consequently it
failed to become part of the Constitu-
! ton. 1t is claimed that Legislatures
may now ratify the amendment, and that
when approved by twenty-five States, be-
sides those that have already ratified it
making three-fourths of all the States
now comprising the Union, it would be
valid as part of the Constitution. Ant
why would it not? The amendment has
never been withdrawn, nor is there any
thing in the Constitution to limit the act
of Congress of 1889. Viewed in the high
of recent events in Congress, the wisdom
of Mr.. Madisons amendment is mos
apparent. Had it been approved by the
requisite number of States, the late
salary steal, aggregating more than
million of the peoples money, could no
well have been consummated. Let II
have an amendment that will prohibit
thing Of this kind in the future; and a
the coming election let the people e1ac
pledge from every candidate for tn
Legislature that, if elected, that he vii
vote for the ratification of such al
amendment.

Eastern Dispatches.

New YORK, June u.
The Graphic publishes an extract from
a private letter, dated Rome, May 18th,
which tells of rumor prevalent in that
city, that Pope Plus died some days pre-
vious, and that his place is filled by an
old and astute priest named Abbate
Minati. The story goes that when the
news of the Pope's fatal illness was pub
lished, the Cardinals fastened to the
Vatican. They found the situation an
exceedingly critical one for the Church.
1t seemed to them that nothing could be
more inopportune than the death of the
Pope, and the election of his successor
at that moment, and they determined
upon a stroke of the most daring and
astonishing character. There was priest
of the order of the Benedictines, Abbate
Minati, who bore striking resemblance
to Plus Ninth. Accordingly they deter
mined that in the event of the Pope s
death Father Minati should enact his
part. The Pope died, but instead of an
nouncing the fact to the public, they
began to inform the outside world that
the Holy Father was getting better, and
finally, that he was quite well again
the fact being that the remains of Plus
Ninth were hidden away in some of the
secret recesses of the Vatican cellars, and
that Abbate Manni had quietly stepped
into his place, and to-day the head of the
Church is, in plain terms, dummy,
wearing the form and keeping up the
traditions of Plus Ninth, even to the
extent of taking pinch of snuff during
mass. OF course, great care will be taken
that this pro. Pontiff exercises none of the
functions of real infallibility. He will
receive deputation, smile affably, utter
compliments in Latin, take a walk now
and then in the Vatican gardens, and
perform such of the Sacred Ceremonies
as are indispensable; but anything be.
yond that he will not do. We shall not
have any more bulls, fulminations, en-
cyciicals or syllabuses for the present.

one hundred feet in depth, and other

LARGEST CGTIEs.-The Memorial De-
plomatique gives the following interest
ing account of the density of population
in the great centers of humanity through
out the globe. There are nine cities hav-
ing population exceeding 100000
souls, viz London, 1921 900; 500
chow, 1000, 900; Paris, l, 1926, 900; Pekin,
1,54S, 600; Yedo, 1854, 900; Canton, L.
536, 900; Constantinople, $4,000;
Sinont-an, in the province of Human, L.
900, 900, and han-tchoan-foo, in the
province of Fokien, l 200, 600. 1t will be
seen that, although London holds the
first place, the Chinese empire can still
boast of possessing more populous cities
than all the civilized States of the West.
The number of cities possessing popu-
lation from above half million is
twelve, viz: New York, Vienna, Berlin,
Hangkaow, Philadelphia, st. Peters
burg, Bombay, Calcutta, Foochow,
Schehing, Bankok and Kioto Twenty
cities have population of from 300, 900
to 100000 inhabitants, thirty-three of
from 100000 to 300 1000, and ninety of
from 100000 to 200, 900 inhabitants.
Europe alone possesses III cities con-
tanning more than $4,000 Inhabitants at
the head of which stand London, Paris,
Constantinople, Vienna, Berlin and St.
Petersburg.

would relieve the docket TO the number Of

clergyman because she thought she

He then abandoned his sacred calling,
and proposed again. The second time
she refused his offer on the ground that
she was too good to marry a man who
would throw away his clerical robes to
win woman's hand.
