AVOIDING A HABEAS CORPUS.
A Wet Night With the Detectives.

The evening was drizzly, and the streets
were too uncomfortable for pickpockets to be
out, hence the gathering of detectives at the
Central Station. Four of them were leaning
back, enjoying quiet puffs at their cigars, and
in an of-hand way discussing old adventures
and desperate fights with thieves, evidently
relishing the stories with that zest only those
acquainted with them can relish. A reporter
would now and then drop in word edge
wise, but this did not interrupt the current
of the conversation.

consumed cigar from his mouth, comm enced
slowly: "You newspaper men thought you
were going to catch the fly cops when they
kidnapped Judge Stokes the other day and
sent him back to Texas to stand trial there on
q heavy charge, but you all missed it. If
there is anything detective dislikes, it is to
have Deputy Sheriff thrust writ Of habeas

q criminal to another State on requisitiop.

The current year shows q rapid decrease
the imports for eight months being valued at
S8,6l8, 500, and the exports Sal, 1891, 496. Il
is hard to believe. in the face of these facts,
that the population Of the State has increased
at the rate Indicated by the last census. The
immigration into the State by sea at least has
been insignificant during the period which
this increase covers, ana altogether.
The increase of the colored population in
the last Eve years is placed by this census
at $3.50, and the increase in the white pop
ulation at AZ, 1885, The beggarly increase from
1860 to 1S7O-most of which, by the way.
must, like this increase, have taken place IN
five years. from 1865 to 1870-was distributed
in much the same way, though in different
ratio, the colored increase being 1887. and
the white 1909, or in the proportion OF three
to one, instead of two to one.
The results of similar enumeratlons IN
other States must be awaited before it is de-
termined how much weight can be attached
to these figures, in their bearing upon the
probable fate of commonwealths like Loulsl-
ana, where a black majority gives over the
State to corruption born Of their own igno-
rance. AT best, few deductions can be drawn
from these results in Louisiana whose col
ored and white population has shown the
most singular fluctuations in relative increase.
Ia the decade from 1920 to 1880, to take
opposite extremes, the negro increase, free
and slave, was 40, 76S, and the white 16,O5S,
while in the decade from 1850 to 1860 the
white increase was 1Ol, 955, and the negro,
free and slave, but $4,000. In most Of the
intervals between one census and another, it
has been found, however. that the negro race,
which began in 1910 with . majority in its
favor Of 1884 in a total population of 76, ESQ,
has increased more rapidly than the white.
It remains to be seen whether this will con-
tinue in the future. Certainly one large fac
tor in the increase in past years, and one to
which much sentimental objection was made,
in involuntary emigration to the "pestilent
swampsr Of the Red River country, is now
done away with. It is Just possible, however,
that the free negro will see that his best in
terest lies in seeking those same swamps on
his own account and that he will do So

THE LOUISIANA CENSUS.
From the New York World. |

The result of the recent Louisiana census
places the population Of the State at $50, 345,
an increase Of 1877. ATS. This increase, if it be
accurate, must cast singular discre lit on the
census Of 1870. 1t is true that any act Of the
present State administration must be received
with susl icion, especially when the patent adj
vantage Of an apparently large increase In
population at the justification of rule which
has depleted the State treasury is considered
Serious fraud or serious blunders must almost
inevitably exist in the census of 1870 or the
census Of 1875 to explain an increase of one
seventh in State where licensed plumber has
made property insecure and too often worth
less.
In times Of profound peace no Southern
State but Mississippi and Texas has ever
made an increase Of the same amount in five
years.. Missouri, it is true, has twice ex-
ceeded it, but that took place in the wonder
full growth of that State from 1850 to 1860,
which transformed her from Southern to a
Western State in trade, in population and in
prosperity. Louisiana, herself, has never
equaled the remarkable increase her last CEN
sus records, and it is singular fact that the
trade of her great seaport has been at q stand
still. The imports and exports Of the last
four years, after the last census Of 1870, are:
