THE MICRO RAOR---ITIS SURE
LY DYING OUT

DR.. Fitzpatrick read a mot interest
ing paper before the State Medical As
seclatioD, which lately met st San An
tonic. In this, among Other matters,
he reviewed the condition of the
colored race now as compared with
that during servitude. While slaves,
he asserts, the negroes were far more
prolific than they now are, more pro-
life even than the whites. Then, the
bills of mortality showed that fewer
the women apply to midwives and con-
jurers for abortives, and to physicians
for medicines to prevent conception.
They are guilty of feticide and infan.
ticide everywhere and every day, kill
ing themselves by intemperance, by
lustful excesses, and sometimes perish
ing for lack of wholesome food, and
filling jails and pen1teutiaries in con-
sequence of willful infractions of the
laws of nature, and of the government,
and of their Maker" The Doctor
showed from the mortuary statistics of
Charleston, South Carolina, that there
we're in 1874, of stillbirths, white 26,
colored 147; in 1875, white 35, colored
1873. The colored population of Charles
ton at that time was 81, 440, and the
white population 26,969 During the
year 1874 the total number of deaths
among the whites was 71S, one in
33 AZ; among the colored 1880, one in
81. During 1875 the whole number of
deaths amongst the whites was 624-
one in 1890; amongst the colored,
1240-one in 1851. The mortality in
the same city in the whites from pneu
monia was II; amongst the colored,
81. In 1875 from same disease, whites
20, colored SO. The mortality amongst
the whites in 1874 from consumption
was So; amongt the colored, IA. The
mortality amongst the whites in 1875
from consumption was 81; amongst the
colored 14S. From the annual report
of the Board of Health of Mobile, Ala
oama, for the eight months of 1875
from May to December, it was shown
thst, with white population of 2S. 600
against 10, 600 colored, there were $40
deaths among the whites and 27S
among the colored people. In the fol-
lowing year the total number of deaths
were $40 whites, or 1.07 IL per cent.
against GAO colored, or 5. .33 per
cent. Going further North, where the
negro has been under the special care
of the government and under the kind
administration OF Gen. Howard, we find
from the learned doctors paper that in
Washington City, for the first four
months of 1872, the total number of
deaths was 734. OF these 25S or IS IA
per cent. were colored people. The
total population of the city in 1870 was
109, 199, the colored being 35, 455. The
report of 1876, for the same city,
shows, deaths from consumption,
whites 500, colored 2S6, being 9 less
than in 1875. Total population, 1884,
600. The total number of deaths from
constitutional diseases was 947. OF
this number 45i were white, or 0.391
per cent. of the white population,
showing that even under the careful
eye of those who came near making q
deity of the negro there is nearly three
times IS large percentage of. deaths
from constitutional maladies among the
colOred as among the white population.

volume of currency must be restored
at once to its condition of six years
ago; that the domination of bondhold-
ers at Washington must end and the
prosperity and perpetuity of the repub-
lie assured by the restoration of that

which distinguished it one hundred
years ago. In other words, States and
people must be first and the empire
and aristocracy obliterated.

Ir should not be forgotten that tn

IT should not be forgotten that the
Democrats have decided majority in
the House, and yet have evinced de-
gree of independence never known
before. Party ties are surely growing
weak when they admit of honest ac-
ton, when honesty lessons the strength
of the party, and, at the same time,
leaves Democrats out in the cold. By
a majority of one Democratic House
assigned contested seat to Republi-
can. Republicanism, In all the years
of its baleful reign, never did deed
like this, and its representatives are
leprous with perjury committed for the
axe of party.

THE San Antonio Express adopts tn

THE San Antonio Express adopts the
theories and reasoning of the STATES
MAN when 1t says:
Ii recognition will strengthen the
hands of President Diaz to put down
raidIng on the border, as is claimed,
he should have the benefit of it. If,
on the contrary, he proves neither
willing nor able to maintain peace on
the Rio Grande after recognition, it
will be as we'll, perhaps, to have the
diplomatic machinery ready to hold his
government responsible, formally and
officially, for state of things which
can not be reached by peaceful meth
ods. In this view, it may be that the
best thing to do is to recognize the
Mexican President as California re-
quests of Congress.

Tur San Antooio grpress saws !:

The Mexis Ledger continues to fret
through fear that whoever is elected
Governor will be elevated from that
position to the senatorship. As we un-
derstand it, the next Governor elect
will have served his term before Mr.:
Maxey's successor is inducted into
Office; therefore each candidate can re-
lieve the agony of the Mexia Ledger by
giving the seemingly so much coveted
pledge that if elected he will serve out
his tenn as Governor.
In all of which the Express is right,
though Hubbard's friends at one time
insisted that Throckmorton's support
ers would make him Governor simply
for advancing him to the senatorship.
Hubbard wouldn't be Senator if he
could, and this is why he would be
Governor. The STATESMAN, of course,
as the Governor knows, speaks by the
card.
